Stare Straight Ahead

Stare straight ahead
Don't pay no mind to the dead
Don't pay no mind, they're just waiting for you to pass
Stare straight ahead
Say, let's play a game of pretend
Let's play a game
And just say that life moves too fast
I've been hustling
And I'm still suffering now
I need more than two bags in big submarines
Will you be there when it's been two weeks
And the crowd's gone home and it's cool to leave?
Or stay in your house while they clean the streets
Cleaning up people like me

New is the best
Let's all forget those who left
We ran out of time
And we couldn't afford the rent
Street is my bed
You treat me like I'm all that's bad
I might feel ashamed
But you try livin' inside a bag
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-no, ah-no

Stare straight ahead
Don't pay no mind to the sad
People with problems
I'm on the ledge
Well, maybe it's all in my head
Please, act like you're not afraid of me when you land
Let's play opposite
You paid a lot for it now
A high-rise apartment, a job in New Markets
Might last you the year
Now, it's your neighbourhood, ain't it
You wanna make it good, paint it, hmm
Make it plain, you change the name
Now, you saved it

Stare straight ahead
Let's play a game of pretend
Say, let's play a game
And you say that life moves too fast

Oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh
Oh
Oh-ee-ah-no
