Cooko 03:06
Hey yo, this pen and this paper Will it favour my flavour? Will it be my life saviour? Will it pay for me, and my other things? Like the laser beams and guitar strings. I don’t know what it is I’ve done But when I hit this E string With my pinkie and my thumb And the bass on the bridge Turns into a horror scope Like my favourite band Horrorshow, what you know. Cooko’s on the other side With real rhymes that will make you cry They will make you high Without any of that powdered white I’m serious give it a listen Cos’ when I listen to it I get this rush through my system like Christmas And when I get these presents off of under the tree I want you to know what you meant to me. I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why I do this And I see this guy I see this guy I see this guy And I realise, why I do this. I’m testing my imagination with the wood I write on It’s kinda ironic, how this wood is where my hearts from And its missing one piece, out of five Even know there’s five of us alive Five years apart with no gaps in between But you, you could not care less about me Cos’ this is a letter from me To the people I look up to Cos’ this is a letter from me To the people I look up to I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why I do this And I see this guy I see this guy I see this guy And I realise why I do this I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why I don’t know why I do this And I see this guy I see this guy I see this guy And I realise why I do this

I’m busking on station street All the people walk by and I’m looking at their moving feet One by one they look at my coins I look at them and I just make a noise I keep my poise and I think about them I wonder what their day’s been like in my head Guy in a suit how much money does he make, you reckon? I see his watch so I look and I check it Surely some cash in my container sir You have heaps of cash in the pockets of your shirt Your wearing a 3000 dollar suit And I’m just here just strumming my tunes But you can’t give me any money All because you’ve got to by that diamond ring for your honey And that’s alright I understand That’s alright All these people, no identities All these faces, I’m meant to see I make them into characters What’s their life gonna be like? Depressed, rich or hungry Can I see right I see this guy sitting down having a coffee I don’t know if he’ll hate me I don’t know if he’ll froth me So he comes up, stands next to me Gives me a five and high five the sky and the breeze He was blind he gave me some advice, be Free with your life and your eye sight Cos I can’t see These are the people that I meet on the street When I’m busking looking down at their feet And I say that’s alright I understand That’s alright All these people, no identities All these faces, I’m meant to see I make them into characters What’s their life gonna be like? Depressed, rich or hungry Can I see right And I see these people and I don’t know their names But I know their background stories Like a video game When they speak to me I get a little more detail They left their information just like a trail And I see these people and I don’t know their names But I know their background stories Like a video game When they speak to me I get a little more detail They left their information just like a trail All these people, no identities All these faces, I’m meant to see I make them into characters What’s their life gonna be like? Depressed, rich or hungry Can I see right

I can’t pretend to like it 52 on the loop to finally find it This guy arrives on his bike to find what I’m high on Turns out his playing drums on my song The people in the ground don’t know what my name is But when they see me they act like I’m famous, the greatest The green tree, behind Alex And his repeats, of great beats, the feats of having a great team Emotions run high while I’m tripping I don’t even know if your listening, glistening, sizzling the system So this one goes out to you yo Alex The one with the bag of You don’t know what I see You don’t look at this tree, like I do It don’t make sense to be free Cos when I see you I need I need my, freedom I need my, freedom Sitting in this car its blue The sky is white with a touch of you Round 2 I’ve got them patterns on the grass And the sky is so blue, it’s got us sat on our ass But I don’t know you Cos your wearing that mask from the past It’s gonna have to make our energy last The moon comes up while we’re listening The stars arriving and the park is kid hidden This chair is getting rid of the system So be careful and listen Don’t follow me, I don’t know where I’m going Don’t follow me, you’ll end up in my motion baby Don’t follow me, I don’t know where I’m going Don’t follow me, you’ll end up in my motion baby You don’t know what I see You don’t look at this tree, like I do It don’t make sense to be free Cos when I see you I need I need my, freedom I need my, freedom Sitting in this car its blue The sky is white with a touch of you Round 4 Cos I skipped the third, the third one was shit And I still really don’t know if I’m still really in this trip So can you tell me if I am so I can get home Check phone, text those best bro’s who gotta get home Cop a spray while my eyes are circular trays Last night they look like laser rays, after mason says Man I’m feeling it Don’t follow me, I don’t know where I’m going Don’t follow me, you’ll end up in my motion baby Don’t follow me, I don’t know where I’m going Don’t follow me, you’ll end up in my motion baby You don’t know what I see You don’t look at this tree, like I do It don’t make sense to be free Cos when I see you I need I need my, freedom I need my, freedom Sitting in this car its blue The sky is white with a touch of you
