Bitter

Everything used to be so good then

Now it seems like you're mad at my footprints

I'm only trying to scribble in the book, man

It's not my fault that y'all couldn't

You must have a lot of free time

Otherwise why're you trying to see mine?

Strain your neck, let the blame project

But don't give yourself the same respect

So independent but undependable

We're all getting old, now take a mental note

And stop being so covetous

The crime is the punishment

Now run and get a slither of dignity

You ain't gotta be a figure of misery

You don't want to be a victim to victory

Listening to a bitter sweet symphony

You're so bitter

You're as cold as a river in the winter

This one is to recognize you

Your jealousy needs an anthem, too

You're so bitter

You're as cold as a river in the winter

This one is to recognize you

And all of these dreams that can't come true

We used to get up in uptown

Then we hit the highway to run around

Came home, everybody wanna judge now

Don't let them see you celebrate your touchdown

Keep clutching those grudges

Don't budge if no budget

The old puppets show love in public

But behind the back, can't trust them

Disgusted, repugnant, insulted, repulsive

Discouraged, rejection

No protection from your own reflection

Chip on your shoulder big as a boulder

Insecurity is a slippery slope

Got you looking around for the sympathy vote

Anything to give a little glimmer of hope

You're so bitter

You're as cold as a river in the winter

This one is to recognize you

Your jealousy needs an anthem, too

You're so bitter

You're as cold as a river in the winter

This one is to recognize you

And all of these dreams that can't come true

Treat love like a limited resource

Fight for it like there's never gonna be more

On the rooftops talk to the spaceships

Like you've got 2pac locked in the basement

Get the bag, man, the ghetto way exit

You get mad like your middle name desperate

No net, better not get left back

Yeah, you should probably protect that

I'm trying to keep it simple, teeth to the nipple

Beat my chisel, leave my initials

Fly so far when you follow the signals

Sky full of stars and all of them wishful

Not only are we bitter but we're brittle

The world's getting small and everybody's little

Go roll your eyeballs, toot your own whistle

Don't ever stop waiting for the window

You're so bitter

You're as cold as a river in the winter

This one is to recognize you

Your jealousy needs an anthem, too

You're so bitter

You're as cold as a river in the winter

This one is to recognize you

And all of these dreams that can't come true
