There Ain't No Intelligence In Dc

[The Karma Killers]Standing on the bridge in the dark

and I'm seeing my breath

Trying to make it home without freezing to death

And my grandfather's face is

Stuck in my mind mind and how

Seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time I should've brought a jacket

Blowing in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill

I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill

Thinking

Laying in that box people look so still

At times like these you start thinking

Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking

I'm not trying to bum anyone out

Not trying to be dramatic

Just thinking out loud



[Chorus]I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind

Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute

Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and

Get away from the grey

There ain't no intelligence in Dc

Kinda funny how this world can treat you

Like a freak in a sideshow

A carnival creature

Climbing outta cans

There ain't no intelligence in Dc



[The Karma Killers]Pardon me

I think I'm nect to url

Too many problems going on

That's why I left my girl

Packed my bags and traveled with a pen and a notepad

Pissed that I was broke and all the things that I dont have

But still

I try to find a way to escape

From all the hate planted in my head which lead to mistakes

But now I'm breaking the mold

See I was patient and calm

Many sleep in the rain

But I'm awake in the storm

Writing my life in a short film

The rise and Fall

How I managed to scorch hills

and climb the walls

Pound pavement



[Chorus]I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind

Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute

Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and

Get away from the grey

There ain't no intelligence in Dc

Kinda funny how this world can treat you

Like a freak in a sideshow

A carnival creature

Climbing outta cans

There ain't no intelligence in Dc



[Sean Kingston]She said "Some days I feel like shit,

Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"

I don't understand why you have to always be gone,

I get along but the trips always feel so long,

And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,

'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,

But when I pick up I don't have much to say,

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"



[Chorus]I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind

Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute

Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and

Get away from the grey

There ain't no intelligence in Dc

Kinda funny how this world can treat you

Like a freak in a sideshow

A carnival creature

Climbing outta cans

There ain't no intelligence in Dc



I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind

Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute

Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and

Get away from the grey

There ain't no intelligence in Dc

Kinda funny how this world can treat you

Like a freak in a sideshow

A carnival creature

Climbing outta cans

There ain't no intelligence in Dc
