Lyrics

Borders

[Verse 1]

There are days I wanna leave LA

I wanna break out the maze

Escape the dark haze these days

So many kids I know your feelin’ crazed

Crave material thangs and makin’ slave wages

Baggy pockets only got laundry fluff

While livin’ where rich people always buyin’ some stuff

So you try to act tough and hide what’s inside

Hold your head high gettin’ fucked up and rollin’ dice

As bad as yours and bad enough I’m sure

My heart wants to love but must navigate through war

'Cause seein’ that we’re wired to short circuit

Must mean the meek who will inherit, the earth already work it

[Chorus]

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money

Plastic, the life end of the century

People actin’ fake can’t see the omens

Wake up yourself ’cause change is comin’

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money

Hollywood is such a place fuelin’ the frenzy

And everybody starts to peep around the corners

Before they take their next step they know their borders

[Verse 2]

In this $19.98 plus shipping and handling type nether-

World every time merchandise dips in out coffers

We buy the image that cost of livin’ uh huh

The fakest shit and act cool our friends are watchin’

Attention shoppers, check the selection in your reflection

Don’t you feel good, does it enhance your fresh complexion?

You gotta have it, you got gots to have it, what

You gotta have it, you got gots to have it

As the world turns and all the money we burn

On the bullshit to make us happy, sometimes we never learn

That we’re self-centered we think we’re better

We look down as a people upon our elders

[Pre-Chorus]

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money

Now let go of it cause it’s dissolving

It created all your fears and kept you hustling

Made you sever all the ties to your family

[Chorus]

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money

Plastic, the life end of the century

People actin’ fake can’t see the omens

Wake up yourself 'cause change is comin’

There’s a land by the sand, grab the money

Hollywood is such a place fuelin’ the frenzy

And everybody starts to peep around the corners

Before they take their next step they know their borders
