Rap Singer's Delight w/ Davis the Dorchester Bully

from How do you sleep at night? by Rich Jones & Montana Macks

lyrics

(Rich)
I'm living in the trees until further notice
Until I've made my opus or catch an obit
Doing as I go since '06
I ain't rich but I make rent
Thinking maybe I should hold that back
B-R-B
Reading up on solidarity won't cut it
I don't care about the budget
I'll just do it
And see who wanna parallel my pirouette
I got secrets socked away
Save it for a holiday
Hey, remember those?
Now I just stay at home barely clothed
Hazy, feeling too behaved like
Was I crazy before?
Must of been out of head
Waking up on the floor
Wanna share flowers?
Call up the florist
Hello?
A dozen
Thanks
It's cash only?
I'll hit the bank, slide out like a zamboni
I'll pay in dank, otherwise could ya loan me?
I'll pay you back, on that you can quote
Wish I could say the same for the people that nearly broke
No point in naming names
I left that with the old me
Stuck for a minute and I didn't lift a finger
Rather be a lover and rap singer
And that's word, and that's word
And that's word

(Davis)
When you overthrow tyranny
You loot it of it’s riches
For those spoils were necessities long overdue
Catch me rockin one gold front tooth like Fannie Lou
Tell em keep they eyes on the prize
But they view askew
Pupils on the ragu
No more bread to spread cause the rents long overdue
bell hooks eviction notice in all lower case
Ain’t you tired of this paper chase rat race?
In this life of sin, all i need is my pen and one dusty mic to grace
Keep a can of mace just in case for the snakes and jakes
In this wild city my birthplace
Imagery random access and will crash your database
Rich jones and Dirty D by a landslide
Always in first place
Bring us our flowers and don’t forget the vases
