text: Thanks, Karl, for coming in, uh, were going to start the interview now
   Yo so this shits on, right?
   Its on
   And I can talk as freely as I want about it, I can expose this whole shit?
   We want you to tell your story
   Alright, you know Ill do that. Im just saying, theyll pretend like its the cheeriest place, like everythings fine, but in real life the suburbs are just as fucked up as everywhere else
  I was raised in a suburb that was hardly healthy
  Grew up in the middle of the most affluent and wealthy
  Cause most people assume happiness was in the burbs
  But please hear my words, that lifestyle is absurd
  Remember Clueless? See, thats my hood but more ruthless
  The method on how they call it depends on your wallet
  From the outside they pretend its Sweet Home
  Where little eight-year-old kids have their own cell phone
  Its the burbs, where moneys the only need
  Cause millionaires survive on principles of lust and greed
  See, we talk about a place where middle class is second rate
  Ridiculed at an early age for not having a guarded gate
  And in this case, parents try to buy their kids love
  How do you think most of these kids can afford all of these drugs?
  But we sit back and act like its the best place on Earth
  Without admitting the worst shit happens right in our suburbs
  Yo
  When youre on top of the world its lonely
  When you have everything its empty
  And the ones you call friends are your enemies
  But thats the way that it goes when you live in the burbs
  In the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  Where it looks like a dream
  But its never how it seems
  So sick, my high school was like a fashion show
  A runway for expensive clothes and cash flow
  At such a vital age puberty cant run its course
  Kids are dissed for looking different or cause they cant play sports
  No surprise when wed come back from Christmas break
  To see most of the girls noses molded into pretty shapes
  And if girls have problems Daddy buys em bigger breasts
  Like every answer to the test is resting in your daughters chest
  Theres so much plastic surgery people look obscene
  Girls following images that cant humanly be achieved
  Its a vicious cycle, realitys distorted
  Why do you think all of these girls develop eating disorders?
  Cause girls who weigh more get called ugly and fat
  And we expect these kids to keep level-headed through all that?
  Yeah we look happy, but whats it all worth?
  Cause you lose your identity living in suburbs
  What
  When youre on top of the world its lonely
  When you have everything its empty
  And the ones you call friends are your enemies
  But thats the way that it goes when you live in the burbs
  When youre living in the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  Its all about the salary
  And nothing bout reality!
  Im sure theres places like this wherever you call home
  Same fucked-up suburb just with a different zip code
  Where spoiled brats live in a fake reality
  Where the student parking lot has better cars than the facultys
  And the sickest shit, the richer the quicker they are to fight
  Despite all of this cash they still live like its Thug Lyfe
  With a bunch of racist kids trying to be tougher than the next
  Its like theyre obsessed with American History X!
  But in due time these problems will show
  Why do you think these high school shootings dont happen in ghettos?
  So next time you see a student driving a Porsche
  Throwing cash like Jermaine Dupri, living like Brandon Walsh
  Imagine their classmate who aint got shit
  Cant find his place in utopia though hes supposed to live in it
  And getting picked on for years eventually hurts
  But then again thats just another day up in these suburbs
  HAH!
  When youre on top of the world its lonely
  When you have everything its empty
  And the ones you call friends are your enemies
  But thats the way that it goes when you live in the burbs
  When youre living in the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  Where all the kids are rich
  But the good lifes a bitch!
  Its fucked up in the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  Were annulled and corrupt
  Yo, Im telling you straight up
  In the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  Its not the inner city
  But suburbia is shitty
  In the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  If you wanna compete
  Your morals take a back seat
  In the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  It proves that your stacks
  Dont equal happiness
  In the burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The burbs, the burbs, the, the, the burbs
  The all-American dream
  Isnt exactly how it seems
  Look closer!
