about

I quit my insurance job to study Japanese and make peanuts doing it. I Be Doin' dumb stuff....

lyrics

I Be reading all these books with words I don't understand
I Be getting all these dates and then be cancelling plans
I Be thinking too much that's when I go for a drive
I Be laying in the grass looking at my place in the sky
I Be writing all these things but never really sharing it
Be thinking the grammar lacks and it's incoherent
See what I mean
I Be making new words like they are dreams
Then scribing letters just to send back overseas
And I Be meaning home not a foreign land
Even though home is a foreign land
Be getting in my own way damn
Scratch that let me get back to the song
Be telling myself I'm doing right, when it's actually wrong
And by now you can guess what this is called
I Be Doing because yes I be doing it all
And by now you can guess what this is called
I Be Doing because yes I be doing it all

Yes. Sometimes I Be Doing the most
But then sometimes I probably just coast
Cause I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing

But no one's ever told me "You be Doing" so I guess
This could all be an opinion that I wanted off my chest
I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing yea
I Be Doing yea

I Be Doing some things that most regular people use to
Improve your character to be better you in the future
I Be thinking if the world ended would humans be alright
Or would we be The Walking Dead where we shooting the folks on sight
I don't know
I be Doing some things that's weird
And really it isn't clear
Like looking through a window that's smeared
So let's gon and do a wipe down
Now look it's alright now
I Be taking care of everybody like you all are my child
And I Be saying I love you in every way (way)
So please spread that love like every day
If life is like cycle and all we do is rival
That just means we need to Be Doing some things to coincide views
Maybe our views are too deep rooted and thus contrasting
And history's repercussions are forever lasting
But for real I aint know
That's just life how it go
I Be Doing what I believe and reading Matsuo Basho
Furuike ya
Kawazu tobikomu
Mizu no oto
