[00:52.92] |
The windows cracked on the Chevrolet |
[00:55.87] |
My cigarettes in the ash tray |
[00:58.79] |
The engines off and the radio's down |
[01:01.62] |
So nervous my whole body shakes |
[01:04.49] |
The parking lot's full of people and |
[01:07.60] |
They ready to see the preacher man |
[01:10.30] |
Time to open up for the main act |
[01:13.32] |
I guess that makes me a deacon |
[01:16.27] |
I promise that I won't let me down |
[01:19.10] |
And check myself in the mirror one time |
[01:21.75] |
Say my prayer and then I shook the ground |
[01:24.84] |
Light another smoke and step outside |
[01:27.59] |
Walk inside and take a look around |
[01:30.68] |
As I try to remember all of my lines |
[01:33.57] |
Guess it's time for me to face the crowd |
[01:35.87] |
And give the people my time |
[01:38.10] |
Johnny Cash |
[01:43.87] |
Johnny Cash |
[01:49.71] |
Johnny Cash |
[01:55.53] |
Johnny Cash |
[02:01.39] |
Johnny Cash |
[02:02.83] |
These people standing on front row |
[02:05.71] |
Tryna see through me like a window |
[02:08.71] |
I'm wearing my soul on my sleeve |
[02:11.60] |
But they look at me through a pin hole |
[02:14.55] |
All I see is this opportunity |
[02:17.36] |
To see at least one of you in me |
[02:20.27] |
But I can't seem to win 'em over so |
[02:23.21] |
I swallow the humility |
[02:26.04] |
Fifteen minutes to hold 'em down |
[02:28.92] |
And I'm just wishing that it would fly by |
[02:31.80] |
It's like my whole world hits the ground |
[02:34.72] |
All I wanted to do is have a good time |
[02:37.56] |
Hold me under but I will not drown |
[02:40.50] |
All I really know how to do is survive |
[02:43.37] |
Next time that I come to your town |
[02:45.48] |
I'll be the fuckin' headline |
[03:12.21] |
I'm not supposed to be this person, I suppose |
[03:14.09] |
I'm not supposed to be this rapper poking holes at stereotypes |
[03:17.49] |
Or to write this juxtaposing flow to beats it chose |
[03:20.14] |
I hope the microphone and out me goes this songs and quotables |
[03:23.02] |
Call me nasty, say I stink, well hit the sink and hold your nose |
[03:25.76] |
Cause I'm about as convinceable as a bum in stolen clothes 'til they go at those |
[03:30.26] |
I got dreams like fish got gills |
[03:32.39] |
I can't survive in this lake water without a deal |
[03:35.72] |
But I can build Noah's Ark without a power drill |
[03:38.18] |
Look at this crowd like it's a battlefield |
[03:40.65] |
Tell 'em my travels, my triumphs, my failures, my family loud and clear |
[03:43.82] |
Let 'em off, judge, I don't care how they feel |
[03:46.18] |
Fuck it what do I care? I'm my personal shrink |
[03:49.02] |
Throw my heart down on the ground, stomp it, use the blood for the ink |
[03:52.05] |
I'm used to purple and pink bruises so thanks for the tools |
[03:54.65] |
That's just a brick from the mansion |
[03:56.24] |
Another stitch in the pants of a Johnny Cash |
[03:58.31] |
