Ambivalence

from Hydrophonix by evvnflo

/

lyrics

Chorus:
Ambivalence is killing me deciding my whole life plan
Am I gonna be stuck in a greenhouse with the life of a plant?
The effect is I’m trapped energy if I don’t hone it but I
Wanna kick it with homies, say fuck it to gon’ big

Verse 1 (evv’n’flo):
Hold it, wait, is it really a trade off do I
Gotta stay in college just to hope I get payed lots?
What I needs a plot or a plan is what they tell me
But so/ciety is likely to cause a man’s unhealthy

Habits, its rabid and savage on the average
Minumum wage is like getting paid in chicken feed
But in A/merica nothing’s wrong with tryna live the dream
Are you kidding me? No one’s getting cream this shit rules us

You coulda fooled us but the huge bucks is in a
small fraction held by none a the people seein all the
Action, sorry to vent but I’m feelin a little bit lost in the gamble
This shit is contradictory rooted in the preamble

Chorus 2x

Verse 2 (evv’n’flo):
What are my choices? Am I rushin to go to college?
Fuckin with loans and all this, only to work an average
Job, while my degree is likely to be completely worthless
All while I was thinking it might have reason, serve a purpose

Ok, I’m a pessimist without any reference if
I get a diploma for a career with lower demand
How am I supposed to work my way to a good position
If /I got no experience except as a lowely musician

Think about those people who act as if we don’t need musical education
Because some people be thinking that this recreation ain’t
Important, cuz we only need math and science
could the /world really be as smart if our mindset couldn’t be

Freed by artists, damn these fees and hardships
Degrees a bargain in a cuisinart mixture
Light fixtures are dim or broken
I’m in contem/plation, sit here smoking, Livin like an ill emcee as

Chrous

Verse 3(evv’n’flo):
Ain’t nobody knowin the poem that’s ambiguous but
Wait hold it, life’s future’s unkown to those who live
Even though this music’s all I wanna be doin it’s
Gotta be secondary, the economy’s scary

And /flimsy as a loose leaf, all these humans do seem
Picky and so choosy like we all live in a movie
I’m in the crowd too tryna get my sound through
I /wanna make my music then a difference that amounts to

Significance, ambivilance is killin me
