Inflatable Raft

[Chorus]
And I really think it's time to say, didn't see it ever goin' down this way but I made my bed
And still far from dead but the place might not last long enough for me to get ahead
When will I ever get that chance, tryin' to get inside feels like a dance, hard to do without the bands
Or someone holdin' hands while they're lyin' through their pants or not givin' you a second glance

[Verse 1]
Hey mind if I tell a story or two? Should I save the best for last or just come right at you?
And hit ya with the grittiest of shit, right in the thick of it, and if you miss the hint then hit the bar again and squint
Makin' waves but some don't like you surfin' near their beach when I'm only just a man tryin' to use the waters to teach
With every ear that I reach, I see that I plant a seed way deep inside right where they need and stick tight to my creed
I don't mean to drop on your head, floatin' down the river 'round the sticks and playin' dead
Even if my raft ever started fillin' up with water I could swim 'cause I can stand up on my own two feet in your riverbed
Navigate like Parnassus, warrior with a pair of glasses, tired of all the passes
While my resume amasses, just starin' at it all like hourglasses as the yin harrasses

[Pre-Chorus]
Floating on an inflatable, to them good and evil are conflatable
Full of air and served with a plate of bull, if you're with me still I guess I am relatable

[Chorus]
And I really think it's time to say, didn't see it ever goin' down this way but I made my bed
And still far from dead but the place might not last long enough for me to get ahead
When will I ever get that chance, tryin' to get inside feels like a dance, hard to do without the bands
Or someone holdin' hands while they're lyin' through their pants or not givin' you a second glance

[Verse 2]
And soon I'm comin' for it all and there's no debate, but there's plenty of hate, and all I'm tryin' to do is float on down the river Thinkin' 'bout all the bullets that I've ever ate and all the lessons that I've misconstrued as fate
And I'm thinkin' about the ones that never made it, the point has been stated and some type of new eras anticipated
But the man can never be vindicated when so much damage caused by them has now been so open and widely indicated

[Chorus]
And I really think it's time to say, didn't see it ever goin' down this way but I made my bed
And still far from dead but the place might not last long enough for me to get ahead
When will I ever get that chance, tryin' to get inside feels like a dance, hard to do without the bands
Or someone holdin' hands while they're lyin' through their pants or not givin' you a second glance

[Verse 3]
Floatin' down the current to the waterfall, they said why even bother man you got some gall, I said:
I trust the flow of life to get me through choppy waters without rippin' me up like a serrated knife
Nothin' lazy 'bout this river and it makes men shiver, navigated by the taker not the giver
You can have your doubts but the real ones know that and don't shun away the forgiver for a sliver

[Chorus]
And I really think it's time to say, didn't see it ever goin' down this way but I made my bed
And still far from dead but the place might not last long enough for me to get ahead
When will I ever get that chance, tryin' to get inside feels like a dance, hard to do without the bands
Or someone holdin' hands while they're lyin' through their pants or not givin' you a second glance
