Punchdrunk

from Pro Deo et Patria by Kokayi

/

about

the grass is always greener. it's also twice as hard to mow.

lyrics

All you seek is to be number one
and yes fabric of a tale that's spun
Filthy lucre from a joke
real fire stoker
broker of a deal not done
but now your Ego is the site
Accolades you desire
But the applause never seems enough

Punch drunk
Sipper of the kool aid free
Starstruck wrapped up in a jealousy
With all the gold
All the fame
Ya still just the same
But a mirror you nah want fe see

Set upon a throne
all draped in white
Speak acidic but
Ya feign like you the light
But the darkness peak out
In the secrets that you leak out
Behind ya mask ya speak so bold
But the Veil has been lifted
I know all the specifics
And the truth you have ne'er told
cuz u are

Punch drunk
Sipper of the kool aid free
Starstruck wrapped up in a jealousy
With all the gold
All the fame
Ya still just the same
But a mirror you nah want to see

Fame don't make u free
Money don't let you be
Power corrupts ya heart
And your mind
& often begets jealousy
