lyrics
Back again, but why do I rap again?
It’s not my friend, it's in my gut
I stuff it up, can’t even front
I bust the one who lies too much
Fried to the touch, don’t need the drugs
But swallowing stuff is not a bluff
An armored front, militant blunt
Like bulletproof vests that don’t protect the head
Busting lead through words instead
I’m barely read, I’m barely learned
But I scarily earned my wings to burn
The hurt they give as work
Society collapsing by the moment
Rise up, this is just a temporary holding
Break the molding, ice scolding
I’m totally free from what they told me
But not really though, as my tax forms show
I’m gonna have to blow, this life is a no
Why do I need to rap
When I feel like I should be giving it back
Not taking it wack, not feeling my sack
But if I talk slow, I gotta walk slow
Dumb it down to a poem
Instead of a razor sharp stroll
Through the depths of control
And loss of all that you know
Some devil taking control
Giving you gold that feels like mold
Splitting particles through stories told
Give yourself back to the flow
You won’t think so hard, yo
I guess it’s less stressful to feel blessed though
No one really gets though
The feeling of how the chest floats
This is on your TV special
It’s reverential
Sick in my head
Sick of my face
Sick in my body
Lost in my ways
Giving it praise
No one was saved
It’s just a grave
We’re gravitating away from
Under the same sun
Subwoofer vacation
I said something
Forgot it like nothing
It’s not my friend, it's in my gut
I stuff it up, can’t even front
I bust the one who lies too much
Fried to the touch, don’t need the drugs
But swallowing stuff is not a bluff
An armored front, militant blunt
Like bulletproof vests that don’t protect the head
Busting lead through words instead
I’m barely read, I’m barely learned
But I scarily earned my wings to burn
The hurt they give as work
Society collapsing by the moment
Rise up, this is just a temporary holding
Break the molding, ice scolding
I’m totally free from what they told me
But not really though, as my tax forms show
I’m gonna have to blow, this life is a no
Why do I need to rap
When I feel like I should be giving it back
Not taking it wack, not feeling my sack
But if I talk slow, I gotta walk slow
Dumb it down to a poem
Instead of a razor sharp stroll
Through the depths of control
And loss of all that you know
Some devil taking control
Giving you gold that feels like mold
Splitting particles through stories told
Give yourself back to the flow
You won’t think so hard, yo
I guess it’s less stressful to feel blessed though
No one really gets though
The feeling of how the chest floats
This is on your TV special
It’s reverential
Sick in my head
Sick of my face
Sick in my body
Lost in my ways
Giving it praise
No one was saved
It’s just a grave
We’re gravitating away from
Under the same sun
Subwoofer vacation
I said something
Forgot it like nothing
