Yep, yep, yep Same one that I forgot to praise, still above me One thing about it, I'ma beat 'em to the punches Stumped all day, thinkin', "Mama, where the love went?" With every triplet of trips around the sun, some of the sludge get thicker I'm chippin' away at crust Hold your head your shit is in for a whole 'nother bust Roamin' the citadel On foot eleven when the spliff gave me a rush Play in the cuts like a DJ Let me know if you wan' tangle with some lemon merengue Wallabees sole stained gum Explorin' a couple different avenues and stayin' dangerous Day drunk, yeah Sometimes the pain sit and fester into hate, beloved I'm workin' on it It's worth the time (it's worth the time) Further down the line, you might realize What's yours obviously mine Toss the sword back into the vines Callin' out for Lord, lookin' low and high Finally found it at the core of my dimming fire It's a little loss, what's a little lie? Tell 'em Gotta make it straight Fill the jar, it's hot The longer you can stand it, the straighter it's gon' be I gritted my teeth, my eyes watered, my nose was runnin' I couldn't stand it any longer Then my head caught fire
