lyrics

down in the city before me
concrete cracked as open sores be
surrounded by sorcery
bright lights absorb me
drugs in my blood got me sluggin down the street
slow as blood drippin down the subway tunnel wall beneath
I’m prepared for anything that might try to stop me
I’ve been shot at, I’ve been robbed
fist tight round my baton
he not here to play
jigsaw falling into place
lookin left side of Thom Yorke’s face when I hit the laced
slippin through the space like rats through the sewer grates
movin down the alleyway where money’s truly gettin made
gettin paid for my time (watchmaker)
pop a rusty pair of scissors
rob you of your rock and paper
returnin loose-leaf to pulp be routine to me as gravy on your poutine
do not mistake me as your neighbor
gettin mine like it’s musical chairs
whoever cares will survive long enough to meet and kill their maker

and I ain’t got none
but shout out my dad and mom
had to kill their first son in an abortion
that was me, too deformed
life ain’t fair, it’s unborn
shoutout to my bruh on the beat colder than some borsch be
I spit it gross like when poor schmucks
pop pours full of pus sittin on the back of public bus
yup, we get it, your life sucks
but you gotta make it work like smokin out a can you crush
you staring at yo candy crush
wonderin how the fuck you actually got rushed up on
got no compassion for dumb rappers spittin humdrum
thinkin that they savage but
only just turned 21
probably never popped the glock before
I’m homegrown as the dro I just smoked
havin mufuckas killed in Chicago like my name was Al Capone
alcohol in my blood like embauliming fluid
bitch, I’m crazy as these girls on OkCupid
and you know I’m gone
