Sandman low in the cut Every showdown I’m showin’em up They’re not knowing enough To stop showing their bluff So they’re throwing a fit While I’m holding my nuts They talk falsehoods What they say not true I poke holes in their stories And watch their plans fall through Like, bye bye salude You’re the only one to blame for what you fall prey to Yea y’all made loot But it ain’t stop your demons from collecting their due And they won’t take cash or pardon you Until the milks gone bad and your cheese (is) all blue Sad you’ve been had In the pit(t)s like your dad is Brad And your fix ain’t fixing that Your ex-wife split with your cash And the women ain’t hitting you back And in a fit of madness Your tripping traffic Cameras get to clicking and flashing Now your pic’s on the internet Look at that you’re looking an ass You look at the caption It says “look at this has been” Oh lord it's the return of the gods Soon as I drop no one can hold their applause Only because I won't fight for the facade Bullshit walks And the false gotta hold their remarks It's the golden heart And I roll with a squad Of light bodies to the party Where we glow in the dark In the middle of the floor Where i show them gloss And they don't comprehend the glow Because it wasn't something they bought. CHORUS: So what are you famous fo(r) Can’t show your face no place to go Get medicated though Get shit faced and waste slow Don’t know your friends from foes Get shit faced and waste slow

I've got no words about how I've got it worse Around the world the same song But now I've got a verse While the streets holla A corpse leaps out a hearse Oh shit its me Why have my dreams gotten worse I need to be where we need not Keep dodging blurbs Thoughts of me shot Bleeding on the triage nurse Because we die first Faces of the murder be on shirts The quick and the dead That we peel off curbs The streets ethos The knees knock of the meek walking In need of heroes A young chief has got one chambered In the heat that he totes Why (does) every novice try to play the boss When they ain’t gone all in Ain't paid the cost or the fees Hate it that I've made my peace (piece) They eat until their bellies full And still crave beef, say please Maybe I'll save you a seat At the table where l break bread Making a speech Saying peace to the lovers unable to please Haters throwing shade on your name In the street Aye we be the light bearers They're trying to scare us like night terrors Hoping we might error Like J.D. in American me When you make it there They want to live vicariously Dog you like terrier And carry the leash Like police who dare to conquer peace Care of the beast Where you could sleep with fishes In the barrier reef And wary are we who care deep Buried in grief Beware of the evil It’s barely illegal For them to carry the heat Dare to be lethal Barbarian ego scared of the people Who made America great And dared to be equal Peep though we need more folks to keep the focus We won't see no mea culpa from the culprits Power brokering xenophobes Misleading the voters Fear mongering theologians Speaking from the pulpit Wow We needs hold us close (2×) Coast to coast these boys want to get us to ghost I was brought up in a bubble Where up jumps the muzzle And for lump sums of chump change Its on and fuck you Taught not to crumble Under another man's knuckles But not how to stand when them boys plan to bump you Running the land wanting out Well uncle Sam wants you My pops was a veteran and a functioning drunk too It's funny as a child The conclusions that you come to Try to gather your senses But find some shit to numb you Thumb through life while the streets run red Everything you have to say Remains unsaid Chummy with vampires at each others necks Hung head not living just undead.
