Artist | Slaine |
Album | A World With No Skies 2.0 |
[00:20.30] | I remember Jay Rich we grew up together |
[00:22.51] | Spitting game at little dames trying to fuck whatever |
[00:25.13] | Ten years old, already with a lust for cheddar |
[00:27.58] | He was smart though for real the young buck was clever |
[00:30.17] | A few years went by, we still stuck together |
[00:32.42] | Plotting armed robberies to get bucks for leathers |
[00:34.86] | Played with guns, it was fun to clutch Berettas |
[00:37.67] | But up in school my dude still had his stuff together |
[00:40.11] | On the court he would score I would scream on the refs |
[00:42.92] | He used to study on the low, I would cheat on the test |
[00:45.36] | When he started selling crack said it was easy to chef |
[00:47.74] | Then I heard he caught a body, stabbed a fiend in the steps |
[00:50.42] | I needed a breath, his dream was to grow up to be rich |
[00:53.05] | Be an astronaut with a house and the V6 |
[00:55.42] | But he switched, the streets turned to man to a goon |
[00:57.92] | I always thought he’d be the first black man on the moon, damn |
[01:00.92] | I just don’t know why my eyes won’t cry |
[01:07.08] | Guess that they’re broken |
[01:10.50] | These lies mask and disguise |
[01:14.31] | My past I can’t hide, I guess that I’m broken |
[01:19.78] | Yeah the sidewalks are lined with trapdoors |
[01:22.23] | The city maze is impossible to escape |
[01:24.95] | All the shitty days that remind us of environments so mindless |
[01:28.39] | And violence is followed by foot chases and sirens |
[01:30.86] | Leap frog with police dogs, dirty piece tossed |
[01:33.72] | Palms greased cause these pigs gotta eat more |
[01:36.10] | Phil had the ill took connect down in? |
[01:38.35] | Every other week it’s up and down like a seesaw |
[01:41.10] | Cold blooded beast, dude even fed his niece raw |
[01:43.47] | Used to be a good girl turned to a cheap whore |
[01:46.22] | Nowadays everybody’s caught up in that street law |
[01:48.85] | They found that bitch’s body blue down by the seashore |
[01:51.42] | I ain’t write shit to glorify it or exaggerate |
[01:53.85] | I ain’t write these lyrics to be shocking or to agitate |
[01:56.48] | Every other week it seems I see another tragic wake |
[01:58.72] | Inside this broken world full of kids who never had a break |
[02:01.35] | I just don’t know why my eyes won’t cry |
[02:07.60] | Guess that they’re broken |
[02:10.91] | These lies mask and disguise |
[02:14.86] | My past I can’t hide, I guess that I’m broken |
[02:21.51] | This life is real, got friends doing life in jail |
[02:23.82] | And we all trying to eat so we fight for meals |
[02:26.37] | Never been the type to squeal, I stand on my own two |
[02:28.98] | Funny how when you’re broke your people disown you |
[02:31.65] | The actuality of this life is stabbing me with a knife |
[02:34.33] | You see the flames when the heaters ignite |
[02:36.13] | Fiends with a pipe, hustlers moving greed in the night |
[02:38.82] | The demon’s in sight, the devil still scheming is trife |
[02:41.51] | And all I see is this beast that keeps eating its young |
[02:44.07] | Deceit and lies from the serpent that’s the media’s tongue |
[02:46.81] | On the surface it would seem easy for me to become |
[02:48.94] | Drunk on hard liquor, chewing pills, I need to be numb |
[02:51.44] | Not to sound stupid really, I don’t mean to be dumb |
[02:54.19] | But all it takes where I’m from is a scheme and a gun |
[02:56.55] | And a whip and a bitch and some coke and a drink |
[02:58.99] | And some balls and a crew, shit I’m broke and I think |
[03:01.74] | I just don’t know why my eyes won’t cry |
[03:07.94] | Guess that they’re broken |
[03:11.30] | These lies mask and disguise |
