You know I get loose, I'm a screw turned pro status

Never did shit but inflict this damage

Never met a word that I wouldn't like a weapon just brandish

Walk away clown boy, vanish

Feelin' outlandish, chemicals soaked in my cabbage

Face numb, face off rap shit, straight no chasing that dragon

Cess to the breast plate, raised where the stakes break badness

Get a tracheotomy tap for talkback shit

Slow clap, do the running man, back flip

Light a flare in the road, I'm an accident

Limping into the light I'm off axis

We got 808s to make cats piss, right on the rug where the cat sits

By the time this recording gets heard I'll be gone

With the dough from the jar plus mattress

Left a note on the fridge with a frowny face drawn

With a rope from its neck to the rafters

Not the most subtle way to explain

I'm a threat to the brain like a wool in the glass hit

I get so high, I close my eyes

Like I may die, and I won't come down

You know I get gone I'm a goner

In the VIP of the club where they strip with a zip and a boner

Girl named Mary looking like a black Madonna

Tell me I can rent her but I can never own her

She's naked as the day that her momma first born her

And later on in the song, yeah, I'mma bone her

But that ain't the purp, bro, please follow along, bro

God made a miracle it rained in the room

Blowing marijuana smoke in a smoke filled room

She leaned in my ear said "You ever did shrooms?"

I said "I never did that and I never did you.

If it come in a pack baby I'mma do two."

Last act of the pact Mary Mack do it too

"If you agree to the terms we can do what it do"

She said "It is what it is." and we did what we did

Right before we popped 3 caps and 3 stems

She popped that molly, rocked my body, I fly high and my co-pilot

Psilocybin, got me slidin, slipping into another dimension

Me and this woman made love in Kemet

Traveled to the moon came back when we were finished

Fell to the earth, lost each other, died and we came back sister and brother

In that lifetime we couldn't have each other

So we killed ourselves and it killed our mother

True romance, in one lap dance

I was in my future, my present and past

I get so high, I close my eyes

Like I may die, and I won't come down
