Stubborn Aloofness
Mastering Inner Peace: Stubborn Aloofness by Jah Knee Dee
Lyrics
Like, I don't even care what you say
Expressing indifference towards someone's opinion or words.
I'll stare into space
Being inattentive or disengaged, lost in thought.
Cause you're inherently fake
Believing that the person addressed is inherently insincere or artificial.
Like a hare conditioned by Arrogant Tae
Comparing someone's behavior to a rabbit conditioned by someone named Arrogant Tae, suggesting being influenced negatively.
You lose your merit when the carrots decay
Suggesting loss of value when something desirable deteriorates or decays.
Watch the mind parrot in arrogant ways
Observing the mind imitating or copying arrogance in certain ways.
Watch where you're starin' and don't inherit the craze
Warning against adopting or embracing a trend or behavior that may lead to insanity or frenzy.
And wonder why shit happen like back in the days
Reflecting on past events and questioning why similar things happen again.
When I was trapped in a maze and I was laughin' in pain
Recalling being stuck in a difficult situation and finding it ironically amusing or ironic.
Blasphemous and asking for praise
Behaving sacrilegiously while seeking admiration or recognition.
It's all bassackwards I'm a master enslaved
Feeling skilled or adept but controlled or dominated by someone or something.
Working on my masterpiece mastering inner peace
Working on a significant creation while attaining inner peace.
With my rhymes intact my breath is hazardous and wintergreen
Asserting the dangerous nature of one's breath or words when delivered.
Are you listenin' up?
Asking if the listener is paying attention.
Or too busy not givin' a fuck?
Questioning if someone is too preoccupied to care.
With the misfits sittin' at lunch
Being with a group of unconventional people, enjoying life in one's own way.
I'm at home for a minute and I'm livin' it up
Enjoying a moment of freedom and happiness at home.
Are you listenin' up?
Reiterating the importance of paying attention.
OH you forgot to take your Ritalin huh?
Mockingly referring to someone forgetting to take medication for attention deficit disorder.
I know I'm gifted not giving it up
Confident in one's talents and refusing to give them up.
And I know they're gonna listen when it's writtin' in blood
Believing that people will pay attention when something significant is written or created with intensity or passion.
Are you listenin' up?
Reiterating the importance of being attentive and not neglecting matters.
Are you listenin' up?
-Or too busy (Too busy) not given a...
Highlighting the busyness and indifference of a whole generation.
This whole generation is a haze, laced with impatience
Describing the current generation as hazy and lacking patience.
Pacin' in place with no displacement
Feeling stuck without progress or change.
So face it, tell me where your face went
Asking where someone's true identity or emotions have gone.
Let me trace it before you erase it
Expressing a desire to capture or preserve someone's essence before it's lost.
If I put you in your place then you'll try to deface it
Anticipating resistance or alteration if confronting someone about their place or role.
Or try to trade it for the shiniest bracelet
People's tendency to exchange or sacrifice something valuable for superficial items.
Chasing what the phase is
Chasing after current trends or popular beliefs.
Stuck in a daze then wonder where the days went
Feeling stuck or lost in a state of confusion and unawareness of time passing.
Cover my bases when livid and anxious
Ensuring that one's actions cover all possibilities when feeling angry or anxious.
Some liquor to taste but it was sick and invasive
Trying alcohol to ease emotional pain but finding it intrusive or disturbing.
Throw away your life like you're tryina lose it
Behaving recklessly as if trying to destroy one's own life.
I used to do it too and it proved to be useless
Reflecting on a past of reckless behavior and realizing its futility.
I'd be underneath the sun and wonder where the roof is
Feeling lost and unaware of one's place or direction.
Under the cover of my stubborn aloofness
Seeking refuge in a self-imposed emotional detachment or indifference.
Like what I lacked I could attach it with a glue stick
Believing that what's missing can be fixed or supplemented.
And maybe taste the pudding where the proof is
Trying to find undeniable evidence or confirmation for something.
Stupid
Expressing frustration or disdain with the word "stupid."
