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.
