Painkillers - Cannibal Ox.mp3

[00:46.95]Yo, some nights we got so drunk
[00:49.20]Its like we miss the feeling
[00:50.70]Of a never ending headache
[00:52.38]And a spinning ceiling
[00:53.94]The sob story of an alcoholic
[00:56.31]On his hands and knees
[00:57.84]Praying to that porcelain toilet
[00:59.97]Whether behind bars or in front of scars
[01:02.94]We use medicine to numb the rap bar
[01:05.91]I might tell you something that'll change your death
[01:08.91]Pain kills the life
[01:10.38]Pleasure loves the breath
[01:12.39]Ox acapell
[01:13.32]I'll spit this in hell
[01:14.82]With L's hanging off my body
[01:16.68]And no ice cooler
[01:18.12]Every rhyme
[01:18.87]I write Is civilize my future wife
[01:21.30]Breaking her water
[01:22.26]In a time without order
[01:24.27]Yo, chaos is born
[01:25.38]A seance is spawned
[01:26.79]And I resurrect light beams
[01:28.17]That resemble red dawns
[01:30.03]I guess that's why
[01:31.11]I was born
[01:32.04]To recognize the beauty of a rose's thorn
[01:35.10]And learn from the strife of a soul that's torn
[01:38.01]To be forewarned
[01:39.48]Just to be forearmed
[01:40.35]So let that thought settle
[01:43.20]As we backpeddle
[01:44.37]Through the seven seas of info
[01:46.41]That'll crush your ego
[01:47.67]Some of us pop pills and snort coke
[01:49.89]To pain kill
[01:50.61]Some of us rap drugs and bear witness
[01:52.80]Cause life's ill
[01:53.61]Y0, but true happiness comes from within
[01:56.43]You can't rely on a substance
[01:58.26]Look at addiction for instance
[02:00.03]And in an instance
[02:00.99]You'll wake up out of that
[02:02.37]Requiem for a
[02:03.81]Dream But you still caught it in the rectum
[02:23.94]Right here trapped in the box
[02:26.22]Thinkin' Rap's all
[02:27.78]I got Smoke too much pot
[02:29.85]Bones with ?chromes? twisted in knots
[02:32.25]Cold vein with thoughts
[02:33.72]Bubbling hot
[02:34.86]Stoned in the bedroom
[02:36.66]Writin' this poem
[02:37.86]Off the phone
[02:38.58]Caught a head rush
[02:39.69]Smoke clouded my dome
[02:41.28]At the end of my ropes
[02:42.66]Writing these notes
[02:43.95]Hopin' to float
[02:44.88]On what is bull****
[02:46.11]Pull spliffs flowin' to
[02:47.40]Goats The sky's the limit
[02:49.50]Stay powered vision
[02:51.00]Visualize the body righteous
[02:53.07]Lost cipher
[02:54.18]The mind's wisdom
[02:55.32]Helped me through life's transitions
[02:57.60]I'm in a tight position
[02:59.19]Hungry-ass **** flippin'
[03:00.87]With no *** of ret (ribution)
[03:02.64]This stress got my chest a mess
[03:05.19]Breathless
[03:06.12]I'm vexed
[03:06.66]Trying to escape out of the depths
[03:08.85]Of hell's nest
[03:09.75]So i rest inhale
[03:11.19]The ?tone and bless?
[03:12.42]And let the stress exhale
[03:14.04]Through clouds of cess
[03:15.15]My mind foggy
[03:16.41]And body wet
[03:17.46]Poppin' shotties
[03:18.51]Shot straight through the nostril
[03:20.52]Cloudy with thoughts of ill type menageries
[03:23.49]When pops used to tell me "it wasn't like this with drugs and *** up in my day",
[03:29.01]But poppy
[03:30.36]**** really changed
[03:31.23]Yo *****z is losing their minds
[03:33.48]And I can't really blame them
[03:35.46]I'm losing my brain
[03:36.45]In these times
[03:37.23]And I'm ?angered? with hangovers
[03:38.94]Ready to ride off a cliff with a
[03:41.19]Range Rover
[03:41.97]Like I was ****in'
[03:42.75]Thelma & Louise
[03:44.79]And if I had a trigger
[03:46.77]I would squeeze
[03:47.22]Believe Blow my whole head off and bleed
[03:50.19]Trying to get that same feeling
[03:51.90]Every day pain killing
