Strength & Weakness
Oddisee

I fell asleep with open eyes again

Seeing me how others see me on my mind again

I hope I don't find offense

With people's versions of what I present

I'm not worried but kinda am

I'm slowly learning, most people get me but the side effects

Small percentage of those repelled by all that I project

But that's just life I guess

Can't win em all but I just like the bet

I'm rolling the dice again

I roll to functions full of punks and wish that they feelin' me

They clutch their fist reluctantly humbly as to build with me

Discussions over lunches on how they once can appeal to me

Tip another twenty and money don't fit the bill to me

I watch how people move, yeah they work strong

But then physically they vision weak

Smaller print of their truth just appeared to me

But that ain't how I move, I just show and prove

Promotions fill with power man that's power I won't lose

I think I found my weakness, I think I found my strength

And all I love and hate, they're one in the same

Now how am I gon' use it, try not to abuse it

What would you do if you knew you could get away with

Anything you wanted to as long as people wanted something from you?

Would you make em wait, knowing you could make all of their dreams true in a day

Go and hesitate and let em salivate until they give up and they subdue

Just to demonstrate how long it take until a person break

Power trippin' easy nowadays, nowadays all the

Culture vultures look to bottom feeders for their power plays

Bucket crowded and the crabs fighting

Puppets pick the people on their last legs

Desperate dreamers turn to dirty fiends

Hurting me to see the crowd beg in their loudest moment

Seem too clear to be clouded by those who got it golden

Brass status green could go brown at any sporadic moment

So I stay open, reply to calls, fly or fall, all in all

I think I found my weakness, I think I found my strength

And all I love and hate, they're one in the same

Now how am I gon' use it, try not to abuse it
