lyrics

Papa Made Out Like a Bandit

another track on the path i choose
when other cats were just passing through
thanks for coming – slumming
lemme tell you something
i keep the low tones humming
toys done in
fresh noise in the blend
cleanse from beginning to end
when i'm spinning the pen
spyrographical exact flex
autobiographical – i snap necks,
live with the four string
sowing seeds – so it's free poetry – you know it's me
time to the z – rhymes that'll be
divine designs intertwined in the beat
drop the inkblot for the rorschach
think my gear's shot? still in earshot
bloodclots wanna act like a ratchetjaw
so fast with the smacktalk hatchet job
but when you step to check the back catalog
whole lotta wack lack and "i haven't got..."
I don't waste time on the bassline
carolina groove bbq – wanna taste mine
fatcats, save the coveted cash you hold
no covenant recovers your absent soul
keep the trip you wanna lay on me
unfocused anger and lame ennui
expressing pensive fear with expensive gear
i'm more like a lens – intense and clear
like a blade made of crystal
look at the ground, see your hand still holding the pistol

papa made out like a bandit
