Black and Gold

[Verse 1: Time] Coffee before work, a little liquor after Routine and cope, it's all disguised by laughter His generation built guilt, Chevys and wealth My generation can't talk about nothing but itself You can't make wine from the grapes of wrath Only choke on the dust from your families past I know the right answers, but I don't believe them I got goals, but I'm afraid to achieve them I wanna be the scarecrow that scares the eagle But I'm too scared of opinions by people The best ideas don't survive, they get buried alive Regret was his bride cause he married a lie The geese were flying in a V for vanish down south As the big dipper poured stars and champagne in my mouth He had empty bottles to go with his promises I filled em all with messages just for the piranha's lips [Hook: Time] Coffee to wake up, beer to go to sleep We work all day then we try to eat When i was young i had a Michael Jackson glove Some people can't walk so they use addiction as a crutch We used to share laughter, now we share coffee and silence I never knew not talking or fighting could be so violent Alcohol's the anesthesia, life is the surgery Addiction is the assistant trying to murder me He tried to drown his sorrows but they learned to swim Caffeine and nicotine, liquor's got a lot of friends In a town called obsession that was built by dependence The population's jonesing cause there's no one to defend it Enslavement is chain-less, when your master's a a habit Anger and withdrawal comes when you can't have it Coffee and beer I used to think they were nasty I never knew when i got older they would catch me When i grew up I realized it wasn't about the taste But in all actuality it was the problems they erased [Hook: Time] Coffee to wake up, beer to go to sleep We work all day then we try to eat
