Pissed Off Lyrics

[Verse 1: Akala]
True words are never beautiful, beautiful words are never true
Every truly clear thing ever need never prove
If it is not enough, it will probably never do
Ever feel like someone lives your life but it is never you?
You? Not knowing if coming, going or flowing
Every door that we open, a key to another one is broken
Words that are spoken, somebody else's poem
And the more that we focus, the less we ever seem to notice
It's like the sound of the letterbox early in the morning
But you know it's nothing good, just a red letter warning
Sucking every penny that we got 'til we ain't got a pot left
All this pressure on my back, do we want it off off off? YES!

[Hook: Akala]
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
I got an idea just why that might be

[Bridge 1: Akala]
We touch it, we taste it, we take a sip
We breathe it, we need it, it invades our lips
We hold it, we own it, it controls our grip
It's something, it's nothing
It's just how we live
I can't call it
It's something with how we live
I can't call it
It's something with how we live
I can't call it
It's something with how we live
It's something, it's nothing
It's just how we live
[Verse 2: Akala]
True words are never beautiful, beautiful words are never true
What's your view? Blessings or curses, are never ever few?
The man with no mind, the one that will never choose
The skin with no feeling is the one that will never bruise
We can't feel it, we touch it, taste it, we breathe it
We peel it, eat it, believe it, we feed it
Heed it, we need it
Defeat it? Won't even meet it, to beat it you have to seek it
Cheat it? You just release it, beneath it you get the secret
It's not real, guns don't kill, the people behind do
All the isms, schisms, divisions, if you decide it's true
They are doing nothing, shit, just what they're designed to do
Look close enough at your enemy and you'll find it's you

[Hook: Akala]
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
I got an idea just why that might be

[Bridge 1: Akala]
We touch it, we taste it, we take a sip
We breathe it, we need it, it invades our lips
We hold it, we own it, it controls our grip
It's something, it's nothing
It's just how we live
I can't call it
It's something with how we live
I can't call it
It's something with how we live
I can't call it
It's something with how we live
It's something, it's nothing
It's just how we live
[Verse 3: Akala]
True words are never beautiful, beautiful words are never true
The liar is the only one in the world that is never [?] see
Fly all over the world but never move, the only vehicle he have, we never use
Talk a lot about dreams but never do? Is this just me and you?
Stuck in this position wishing we even had a mission
And wouldn't spend 40 years barely chasing a living
Job that we hate with a dying soul, boss that we'd like to strangle slow
The partner we live with we don't even know because the man in the mirror is just another freak show
Stand like a pillar but what do we hold? Have a lot of things but what do we really own?
Absolutely nothing, we're just bluffing the entire show

All of our discussions and our fussing over the price of gold
Should we be reminded that a diamond is just crushing coal?
And they don't own it, it's we that make up the motive
They are not giants, just notice they only stand on our shoulders, shit

And they don't own, it's we that make up the soldiers
They are not giants, just notice, they only stand on our shoulders

[Hook 2: Akala]
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
Do you feel pissed off just like me?
I've got an idea why the fuck that might be


[Bridge 2: Akala]
We feel that we are not in control of our own lives
We see that we are not in control of our own lives
We taste that we are not in control of our own lives
It's clear that we are not in control of our own lives
But we are more in control, then we could ever know
But we are more in control, then we could ever know
But we are more in control, then we could ever know
The steering wheel is right there, just grab a hold
