Scandinavia - Armand Hammer/The Alchemist.mp3

[00:01.668][Intro]
[00:05.868]Alright, let's be serious now
[00:10.303]
[00:10.509][Verse 1: billy woods & E L U C I D]
[00:17.501]Of course they came with that move, cousin, I seent it coming
[00:20.413]Of course that's what they gon' do, but to me, it's nothing
[00:24.378]To burn this whole thing down and go back to hustling for my dinner (Seriously)
[00:27.462]It's all I ever did, after all, I'm no beginner
[00:31.458]Might sell you a bridge, but it's no regrets when you examine the metalwork
[00:34.450]Just say he's best, the arch like a lover's neck
[00:38.118]From up here, hard to judge the water depth
[00:40.873]Don't guess which way it'll take the body
[00:43.426](One, two, two, check it out)
[00:45.188]
[00:45.433][Verse 2: E L U C I D]
[00:45.759]Shit, he might, but I ain't going back
[00:47.476]My baby's face shining like new pennies
[00:49.730]I never chase, I'm in my loafers
[00:51.132]It's coming back, I promise, everything you owed us
[00:53.656]I never asked and that was probably my fault
[00:56.060]When she told me what she told me, I believe
[00:58.182]Yes, I do indeed
[00:59.410]It been hand to hand, the pocket sense, muscle memory
[01:02.534]Printing e-checks off Fulton
[01:04.301]Chicken in the bag with the chicken sandwich
[01:06.382]Rick the run-up on Mercer, flashing
[01:07.900]
[01:08.182][Verse 3: billy woods]
[01:08.329]Ayy, ayy, any money you don't need, brother
[01:09.790]I'll hold it for you, just say the word
[01:11.684]Every dollar I got was earned by somebody somewhere, but I got it now
[01:16.306]Fair or foul, foul is fair
[01:19.095]Hover through the fog and filthy air
[01:20.889]Grinning in a greasy mirror like, "You and me is quite a pair"
[01:23.618]Swimming in re-segregated pools, the bleach burn good like menthol
[01:28.215]Alive with pleasure, I could never be mad at y'all
[01:31.268]Scorpion gon' sting, snake gon' bite
[01:34.693]I sleep deep and get dressed at first light
[01:37.310]One step slow, all it take
[01:39.827](You won't have a chance to change your minds later)
[01:42.044]
[01:42.288][Verse 4: E L U C I D]
[01:42.519]Yes, of course, another
[01:43.310]Woke the skull, this one formed
[01:45.040]When nobody came, punching wind
[01:45.947]I got it now
[01:48.221]Calling gods and devils by their name
[01:50.512]Two club sodas in the ice cup
[01:52.759]Instant transfer, change your life
[01:55.000]Old nigga skating, spike the pipes
[01:56.718]From "Get the **** gone" to "Shit, they might"
[01:58.959]Such is life
[02:01.061]Thin air with the baby breath, bust this right
[02:02.803]To be honest, I wouldn't trade what's next
[02:04.578]
[02:04.757][Verse 5: billy woods & E L U C I D]
[02:05.264]Drive straight 'til the road end and take that left
[02:07.577]Headlamps dissipate in the mist
[02:09.641]Bushes and trees caress the car, whispering
[02:12.578]Red clay, rocks, and roots, needle to the record
[02:14.622]Been a couple places, but I never been to Memphis
[02:17.175]I made red bean and rice with just my right hand
[02:19.694]Bluest night, my guitar caught a body
[02:22.155]Light filtered through white curtains
[02:24.049]Strange like Scandinavia, like
[02:26.139]Ice on the wing of a plane, like
[02:27.938]"Do not step" emblazoned in Saudi Arabia, like
[02:30.735]Whatever happens, never change, like
[02:32.745]That's that shit I don't like, bitter septuagenarian
[02:35.568]I'm nice like just ask my ex-wife's parents, like
[02:38.388]Y'all niggas talk crazy, be like
[02:40.421]Come on, who y'all supposed to be scaring? Like
[02:43.009]Like (Like), like, like (Like)
[02:46.930]Strange like Scandinavia (Like that?)
[02:49.072]I won't let you forget it (Like that?)
[02:51.948]I won't let you forget it (Like that?)
[02:54.918]I won't let, I won't let you forget it
[02:58.368]
[02:58.580][Outro]
[03:08.620]I put my trust in my own god
