Detax – Food Lyrics

What'chu wanna do..
What'chu wanna do, never eat?

And you can treat this track like food
Because I make a meal from nothing every time I need to make a tune
I work to my means and keep a dream so I'm making do
With these walls around my bed and plate of food
I know it's all in my head when I'm a lousy mood
But guaranteed my next shit's gonna raise the roof
I tell myself I need to grind hard and pay my dues
I see my friends living well like it's daily news
The world spun me I can tell that I'm outta tune
When everybody lacks the patience to wait for you
But I don't wanna show you any tracks before they're finished
'Cos I believe it takes away the magic in the lyrics
I wanna test my limits in this music that I'm living for
Break the underground and get streams like a river source
And I'm a different sort so I need to break the mold
Like a hundred others did before in the days of old
For something worth more it's weight than gold
I follow in the footsteps of a thousand stories told

And you can treat this track like food
Because I make a meal from nothing every time I need to make a tune

What'chu wanna do never eat?

And you can treat this track like food
Because I make a meal from nothing every time I need to make a tune

Driving home in the lights and the smoke
Rain on my windshield, traffic in the roads
People come and go silhouetted in the glow
Of the street lamps standing in rows
And as I listen to the city breath tapping a smoke
It's bittersweet, I got dreams but they ain't happening so
I grit my teeth in my sleep and I think to myself

What'chu wanna do never eat?

I know it's hard when you work just to stay afloat
Life in slow motion going through an episode
Yo, living with decisions that are set in stone
Try'na stay on track like the ticking of a metronome
I would never take a minute, change a lyric that I wrote
I'd hate to say I never did it, 'cos you never know
But since the days of bumping infrared phones
I got lost in the culture, grew bolder, 'cos when in Rome

And you can treat this track like food
Because I make a meal from nothing every time I need to make a tune

What'chu wanna do never eat?

And you can treat this track like food
Because I make a meal from nothing every time I need to make a tune
