Play By the Book Interlude

[Intro]
How are you keeping your cool?
How are you seeing this through?
How are you speaking your truth?
How you expect me to be when I talk?
You don't listen to shit when I'm speaking to you
Miles, where have you been?

[Chorus: JZAC]
People assume you learnin' with age
Play by the book, turnin' the page
Used to be free, livin' with dreams
Now you just live like a bird in a cage
Drinkin' and smokin' a burden away
Couldn't be fixed with burnin' the sage
Somewhere between twenty-seven and thirty
Is whеn they gon' start pourin' dirt on your grave
'Cause that's whеn your dreams die (Damn)
You still alive, but that's when your dreams die, shit (Dreams die, dreams die)
Speak for yourself, I'm gonna keep mine (I keep mine, I keep mine)
Yeah, I'm gonna keep mine (I keep mine)
[?] no peace sign (Peace sign)
It's not in the meantime

[Verse: JZAC]
Look at the time, where did it go?
Reality hit, prepare for the blow
Livin' the life that he dreaded, he's right in the thick of it
He ain't aware of it though
Someone should go let a therapist know
Notify sis and his parents and bro
Payin' a premium price for a dream is expensive
Who's takin' care of the loans?
How will you keep on the lights?
Who's gonna pay for the rent?
You ain't been makin' a dent in a pile of money you owe in your credit
Like, how you ain't breakin' a sweat?
How are you keeping your cool?
How are you seeing this through?
How are you speaking your truth?
How you expect me to be when I talk?
You don't listen to shit when I'm speakin' to you

[Chorus: JZAC]
People assume you learnin' with age
Play by the book, turnin' the page
Used to be free, livin' with dreams
Now you just live like a bird in a cage
Drinkin' and smokin' a burden away
Couldn't be fixed with burnin' the sage
Somewhere between twenty-seven and thirty
Is when they gon' start pourin' dirt on your grave
'Cause that's when your dreams die
