[Talking] Bear with me... Let me just... Uuh... Okay Look... [Verse] Cap and gown on the stage, jumped up and down Sweat off the brow, hard work I made mama proud Held that degree, yeah I'm about to own this town Long journey so my celebration is also just as loud Dreams of skyscrapers, rolling on swinging chairs Big offices with high windows and spiraling stairs Yeah, I definitely walked into those fancy buildings But my position was never what I had envisioned I said no to bitching and I kept on with the mission Figured I'll just keep on reachin' until I start winning Yeah fake it til you make it. That's what they say What if that game don't pay, there ain't no change You remain a slave, so stuck in a slow movin' lane Showing up everyday but you slowly wither away Damn...uh From the outside looking in, it's all fine and dandy Applause pouring in, they think your side is gravy Tears of a clown, they can't tell your mind is heavy Bright smile, but on the inside you crying help me In the elevator, rubbin' shoulders with the wealthy Going down! But your bank account ain't healthy Pushing thirty, the future looking grim and murky Getting up early, you ain't getting no sleep lately Coz your conscience putting it all clear and plainly If nothing changes, your grave might come early Yeah... Your worst nightmare, you living inside your fears, Keeping your head down trying to hide your tears They call you a recluse, you even avoid your peers Call it hate or jealousy, you can't stand their cheers Surely this can't be all that your destiny prepared Hopes and dreams seems to have been deferred A never ending battle, it seems like fate is a tyrant Questions with zero answers, the void stays silent Uh... [Breakdown] [Bridge] Staring at the abyss, may it not look back, Torment too close, I hope it moves back. Staring at the abyss, may it not look back, Cause if I see it's face it might hurt to look at. [Chorus] Oh fate my dear, what's with the hate my dear Oh fate my dear, don't let my heart break my dear Oh fate my dear, Oh fate my dear. [Instrumental] Oh fate my dear, what's with the hate my dear Oh fate my dear, don't let my heart break my dear Oh fate my dear, Oh fate my dear.
