So dirty like the old Osiris I never tip-toe when I'm on papyrus Cuz' my words bleed through band aids can't hide this And I just get on my ride and blast off Cuz' my schemes so ponzi I'm a madoff Weekend with bernie donzi boat burnin' Cigarette boat the speeds are unearthly Chillin' in the harbor... as if I swam there I like my health but, I still jam there I got my jambox cut to 11 And I'm e-dub I don't know any evan Unless your profession is cuttin' checks In which case that name prolly suits me best Or black paisley the name we gave hope to That light in the tunnel is startin' to poke through
Chorus: I ain't just trying to survive I'm still trying to thrive I never want to say goodbye But this road's getting hard and my lungs filling up with dust And I ain't never had the answer So I keep moving faster Two steps from the next disaster In a world so tight all I wanna do is loosen up
Verse 2: I play the black keys, I play the white keys 88's go harder than them nikes I'm a scorpio, no pisces I'm not a fish, so please don't bite, bite this My hope, my dreams, my love, my passion I stomach most things, but, not inaction Redacting fiction is my favorite pastime The sharpie's out, I'll pen this last line I take the bass out, I leave the drums in I take the hate out, I put the love in On trial double murder and the glove fits Johnnie Cochran ain't around put the sub in Hungry fiends they need thrills so I'll try to feed that College kids sittin' on the edge of their bean bags They need that thriller and I promise I'll deliver No manilla envelope, we all colors no vanilla
Verse 3: Loosen up and hear the kids talking They want truth or else they'll start walkin' Hard bargained lies are your coffin Watch it burn while you're sittin' in your office I can't call it, shit, but I'll text it The played out is bound to get nexted You lay down to try to get rest But that bed is like a prison where you livin' till death
