lyrics

I heard clicks on my phone
Saw a helicopter
My friend told me I'm fakakta
I said I'm precocious
Now if I catch a L
That shit would be catastrophic
I gotta keep it cryptic
Keep a shelter in the tropics
I want what's right, damn the optics
And y'all looking ostrich
I see it too often
All walks of life wanna turn their brains off
Damn that would be nice
Try it with a bottle
Do it with a pipe
Munching on stems on a Tuesday night
I wash it down with a something and Sprite
Legs up on the desk
I'm done with the lectures and tests
And ya know I only talk what I type
Hey, forget invisible ink
I know I'm not as in the pink as I used to be
But that don't bother me
You either grow the mind or you choose lobotomies
Skipping to the homily
Laughing if it's drama or it's comedy

Are you on that fire water or the ayahuasca?
Are you feeling short of breath and should I call the doctor?
Just wanna do you proper
Just wanna do you proper
Hey it's all friends here and we don't call the coppers
x 2

Smiling at my enemies
Don't wanna give them energy
That they could use to punish me
For letting them live rent free
Waiting for epiphany
Wait to long and your history
We can bond over misery
Start there

Inside my head, inside my head
Is a TV and a bed
And a jar with some tree
And a fridge with some meh
Get me to the next week
Love a good memory
But living ain't free and I could really use the bread
It's a trap, it's a trap
Even if you got a map
You can't walk the same path and have someone trace it back
Hands on my back and I need a little scratch

Are you on that fire water or the ayahuasca?
Are you feeling short of breath and should I call the doctor?
Just wanna do you proper
Just wanna do you proper
Hey it's all friends here and we don't call the coppers
x 2
