albatross

NSFWLiner Notes
I have a bad habit of letting my brain control the speed of my writing, and then back myself into a corner. I did that here on this track, so there are a couple issues here and there (mix too) but I don't have it in me to try and perfect the vocals right now - I think it's FAWM-ready.
Lyrics
he did it all for the glory never gave a shit 'til forty dispute that fact and he can't clap back ain't true just good for the story did it with the right intentions but ignored every good suggestion foot to the floor straight to eleven don't approach this shit with any apprehension
my wall's are high and my temper's short my bank accounts are on life support I'd like to plead the fifth it won't please the court I'd like to bleed the rich if it'll feed the poor my senses tingling my vibe is off my body's failing my brain is lost if you could bring them on then you could call them off you're on that "have my way" you're on that albatross I'm on that "raise your vibes" I'm on that "it's your loss" it's just a weak excuse it's just a word exhaust with the fires contained we're gonna mosey on don't want to see whats next don't want to stay too long don't want to watch the fall and see the great decline we all knew the risk we all saw the signs you can get some but only after mine there's no coincidences this is by design

if you dig in the crates you might find some gold Funcrusher or De La Soul 36 or Lucy Ford Madvillainy, Skelethon, Float if your Aesop Rock's then it's a rockin' goat and if your subject is murder then it's all she wrote I'm like a baseball bat I'm like an unpaved road I'm fuckin' "come on in" I'm fuckin "sorry we're closed" I'm like an old hard drive and I can barely spin I never cared enough I never wanted to win It's like a winning number you can't see is off a delicious cocktail with a molotov long nights of gin bring hard fights to win the bright lights again the high price within you're all "sink or swim" I'm all "come on in" you're all "watch your back" I'm all "come again?"

I got a lot of old friends but we don't talk much most of it just life and such feeling soft when times get rough but then I brushed it off because I like it tough I got a chipped shoulder I got dry lips I like strong coffee I like bong rips I got a laptop I got a bass guitar I got a small house with a paid off car I got a turntable with a microphone I got a drum beat that'll fuckin' shake the room we got "calm down" we got "your parents said" we got "listen here" we went straight to bed and my senses tingling and my vibe is off body's failing my brain is lost if you could bring them on then you can call them off you're on that "have my way" you're on that albatross
