Текст песни Bottoms up (feat. Self Says) - Cryptic One feat. Selfsays

See that old man, with old plans, and old wisdom
Old habit to stay active in activism
He smoked pot in the pot that he pissed in
With his middle finger to the sky screaming fuck the system

And one could argue maybe he's flawed by design
And one could argue yall ignored all the signs
And one could argue after the fall comes the climb
I could argue all that arguing a complete waste of time

They think it's written in some codes in some psalms
Even the most ignorant of snakes knows he's charmed
And that's how you remain sober and calm
Shit... my panics on display and it's growing in swarms

Y'all worried about staying well strapped?
Taking 2 steps forward to take 12 steps back
I mourn at the mass grave of all these dead facts
And I wait and pray for the day they all get back

A wise man once said that things go in cycles
Perhaps that's why it's so frightful
If life will return just a little too far back
When America was great and it was a crime to be black

A wise man once said that things go in cycles
Perhaps that's why I'm so spiteful
Repeating past mistakes so much my stress ball broke
Ground hog day meets that west world host

In many ways so many things have really changed
In many ways so many things have stayed the same
The solution to your thirst ain't to pray for the rain
The aim is to locate that river of change
Bottoms up

Salutations
Get off my lawn
Increasing my wisdom
Hair follicles gone damn
Can't keep up with the slang talking turn ups
And how shit is hella lit
I would sound hella lame
If I tried to sound the same
A bunch of hands for the Instagrams displaying stupidity
For a moment of fleeting attention
Humanity's missing
Or at least it's going through some sort of change of definition
A part of history I hope that never sees the repetition
Nowadays folks lack the cognition
I guess it's probably always been
And this is just the latest trend
I'm sure they said the same thing about us like
These young bucks think they really know whassup
And what's funny is we were once those young bucks
But those young bucks have got to grow up
We've got to grow up
Bottoms up
