Gambit - Procrass

Got a lot of work to do
Ooh, that's shiny

Curiosity's often evoked solely at cost of focus
So crops we ought to sow get engrossed by the throngs of locusts
Like I know I'm s'posed to bolster ozones and atone for old sins
But I'm pretty busy checking out this freckle I noticed
This existence is a mystery, adrift amidst it listlessly
Ambition bickers with interest, they disagree to disagree
Suffer through a history of subterfuge since infancy
That made the wake up calls conduct abrupt into a symphony
Epiphanies like pistol pop, toss 'em in the wishing pot
Pray that some shit comes from it other than getting swiftly lost
Just a lot of wishy-wash betwixt an odd addiction
Watch a script and wash the dishes, as for business, ah shit I forgot
Okay I'll hold my weight, go straight to an open page
And pull my swollen brain out of its hull to skulk alone today
See what sort of bullshit I cultivate and I'm close but wait
The moment greatness culminates I'm pulled away on roller blades
Oh it's okay, I got time, plenty to waste
Admittedly I didn't really feel like working anyways
Demonstrate a tendency to fend away and then to play
Did it all my life, do it again today

(Push it off) Maybe later (Push it off) Time is finite
Swear to God I'll get around to it in just another minute
(Push it off) Watching YouTube (Push it off) Dodging boredom
I got everything in view to do before what is important
(Hold it off) Entertainment (Hold it off) Masturbation
Dedicating my existence to instant gratification
(Hold it off) Till tomorrow, as much as I love improvement
It takes a lot of work and I don't really want to do it

The student neutered his rulebooks, truly fluent in truancy
Cooly flew the coop upon congruent opportunities
And you could see the lunacy blooming if you've the acuity
Loosening his screws, been elusive precluding puberty
And fruitless superfluity, grew to be the future me
Mooching his crew and using Buddha fume as perfume indeed
And while he waited stupidly compatriots aced grades
Meantime I'm viewing graduation from space, great
Flash forward, egads the lad's hopeless
Single simple task and a million tabs open
Not a thing corresponding to his initial objective
But 3 AM's the best time to Wiki a physics lesson, oh yes
Any attempt to claim responsible is made in jest
And whether he stays evading obstacles is not a question
Promises are troubled water under the bridge
Yell for help and he'll tell you that life's a bitch, I'm busy
And so the notion goes till approaching the moment's deadline
I watch my productivity metamorph into bedtime
A bit of advice to the wise or whoever
Why do today what you could just delay to fucking never?

(Push it off) Maybe later (Push it off) Life is finite
Swear to God I'll get around to it in just a couple minutes
(Push it off) Another episode (Push it off) One more chapter
I stayed up way too late, hibernated straight through the Rapture
(Hold it off) Won't contain it (Hold it off) Procrastination
In a controlling relationship enslaved to my PlayStation
(Hold it off) Really sorry, as much as I'd love to stay
I got a lot to do tomorrow I was s'posed to do today

I don't wanna do that, I don't gotta do this
If I ain't need to do the job then I ain't even doing shit
I don't wanna do that, 'cause I don't gotta do this
If I ain't need to do the job then I ain't even doing shit
I don't wanna do that, like I don't gotta do this
If I ain't need to do the job then I ain't even doing shit
I don't wanna do that, said I don't gotta do this
If I ain't need to do the job, I ain't even doing shit
