[00:02.141][Verse 1: Earl Sweatshirt]
[00:04.184]Yeah
[00:04.397]What makes mice out of many a man
[00:05.714]I don't think strikes is bottomless
[00:07.153]Promises have been accorded
[00:08.710]I broke the pattern and noticed I'm always on edge
[00:11.208]The homies was saying don't even spazz
[00:13.240]The ceiling is glass, we already cracked it
[00:15.469]Give it a stamp, reseal up the package
[00:17.930]We shipping it back, it wasn't too shabby
[00:20.656]But was it your best?
[00:23.652]No stress, I'm not even asking
[00:25.186]OT like Barnum & Baileys
[00:27.461]Nothing changed much, hounding a bag
[00:29.318]Home team Cressida tan, treat that boy like the jester he is
[00:33.707]English on it, perfected the spin
[00:35.715]I watch most of the message get missed
[00:37.968]Pressure on me, can't prep or pretend
[00:39.885]Pardon my absence, peer into the past
[00:42.611]My ass got whooped like one of the Jackson's Warrior path
[00:46.454]The man in the mirror with action
[00:48.650]I don't need to ask
[00:50.206]I ain't in the trap, the rats in the precinct singing like Toni Braxton
[00:54.678]I don't need to stab, but I keep one handy, only the family
[00:57.949]
[00:58.214][Verse 2: E L U C I D]
[01:00.584]Clandestine handgun, view to a kill, sub-star confession
[01:03.465]Where ocean kiss canyon
[01:05.528]Every knee had kneeled through where I'm standing
[01:08.921]Gutted, built to spill, wild without abandon
[01:10.662]I don't pocket watch or dig my hands in
[01:13.124]Swiss movement engraved in Sanskrit
[01:15.283]Genie in the bottle, dirty dancing rancid
[01:17.988]Take off my pants one leg at a time too
[01:20.598]Done scrambling, make your move
[01:22.483]Talk slanted
[01:23.711]Maybe two or three more for weak niggas you ran with
[01:26.531]Stranded
[01:27.647]I smoke on your confusion, cold lamping
[01:29.829]
[01:30.072][Verse 3: billy woods]
[01:30.584]Forty-eight hours on the rental, six hours on the plane
[01:32.803]California Games in the bag and sixty-eight in the shade
[01:35.565]I could go mad and take something for the pain
[01:37.842]I only came back to tell you 'bout those flames, boy
[01:40.906](Only came back to tell you 'bout them)
[01:43.124]Wire frames and tape 'cross broken nose
[01:45.316]Wiretap in broken home
[01:46.548]Fire happens, fire grows, fire burns, fire knows
[01:49.544]Throats slit, this business pimps your ho
[01:51.819]The settlers kill 'em slow if not softly
[01:53.710]The eggs and parsley, a cup of coffee, coughing
[01:56.351]Get these mother****ers up off me, Lord (Get your hands out my pocket)
[01:58.600]
[01:58.844][Verse 4: E L U C I D]
[02:00.188]It was always fourth down, splitting center
[02:01.549]Sickness and the symptom
[02:02.989]Sixth sense, stars pointed at people, not conditions
[02:05.649]Fingers twist up
[02:06.891]If you could just make it through the winter twice bitten
[02:09.409]Hers was sweet, mine's more bitter
[02:11.479]Worth the wait, darkness always was
[02:13.600]In this life, I had to be creative
[02:15.019]
[02:15.227][Verse 5: billy woods]
[02:15.760]With sour malice, my daughter's power ballads ring 'cross barren fields
[02:19.903]Strung with the devil's rope
[02:22.899]Gave the dead hope
[02:23.620]The living weep, peeping in the telescope
[02:24.641]Light leak in the photo, God's feet on they throat
[02:27.648]
[02:27.855][Outro: billy woods]
[02:43.953]You really went up backwards up the escalator, man
[02:46.524]Chill, man, I don't want you to harp on this shit
[02:48.741]Oh yeah
[02:49.255]I was pushing it, man, like we, what we used to be able to do
[02:53.304]And I miss that, I miss that I can't just go play ball and I have do whatever, I miss it, man
[02:58.227]Let's not, come on man, playing ball and going the wrong way up
[03:03.928]It's the same athl— it's the same as a pickup game
[03:06.087]Tryna go up and down an escalator is a different story, man
[03:08.933]It's like a pickup game
[03:09.988]It isn't a pickup game
[03:10.824]Yes, it is
[03:11.241]A pickup game is for fun
[03:12.660]I felt young
