Hope You Figure It Out

What a dream. Can’t you see? What a lazy life you lead.
When you sleep, all day long, don’t you know you’re doing wrong?
What success, take a guess, always happy to do less.
An excuse, every day, how you gonna to earn your way?

In the glass, can’t you see, all your blooming vanity.
So in love, with yourself, before anybody else.
Wear a mask, that you bought, never stumble on a thought.
Till your beauty is gone, like the Whore of Babylon.

Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting served
Well I hope you figure it out before you get what you deserve

Greediness, nothing less, it’s the sin of your excess.
You inspire, your desire, all the smoke without the fire.
And the bling, don’t it sting, always wanting everything.
Avarice, you possess, now your debt is prospering.

Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting burned
I hope you figure it out so you can tell us what you learned
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting served
I really hope you figure it out
But you probably won’t, you’ll only get what you deserve

Does the world ever change, does it ever really grow?
Or does it just turn around and remain, always in the status quo?

Black and white, so uptight, always looking for a fight.
Seeing red, lose your head, like a stick of dynamite
Pressure gauge, set to rage, demonstrate your mental age.
Just a tool, with some drool, like a bully out of school.

Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting burned
I hope you figure it out, and you can tell us what you’ve learned
Well I hope you figure it out before you wind up getting old
I really hope you figure it out
But you probably won’t, and you’ll be left out in the cold
