lyrics
Ey yo check this shit out
While I get my spit out
While I whipped my wit out
I hid and took the flow south
Did it cause my style’s clout
You hear me make the crowd shout?
That’s me, I got quiet and the sour krauts loud
What’s proud is that my doubts down
While I’m skipping town
Out, untrapped, reverse, relapsed,
no curse, just claps, and pabst and stops and starts
and sex in cars and strip malls out the corner of my eyeballs
First time charm
Don’t ring the alarm
Until I get my feet soaked
Don’t see what’s the harm
Cause I’m a tangled mess, yes
It’s what I accept
But not what they except
hard times
Serve as a reminder
Of how I am out of order
Comin’ up, sorta
Tall but shorter
out of order
hard times
Serve as a reminder
Of how I am out of order
Comin’ up, sorta
out of order
out of order
Ey yo check this stuff out
While I got my bluffs out
For now I got my nuts out
Yup, I’m crazy cussed out
Tough enough to bust out
My keys release the cuffs now
It’s time to leave the past inside the clouds
And fuck doubt
It’s super-crazy nasty
So I’m telling you if you ask me
That I’m aiming for the sky to let it all move past me
My feet are far from last week
And now I’m at my peak
But growing mountains is kinda hard and not cheap
So hard times
Serve as a reminder
Of how I am out of order
Comin’ up, sorta
Tall but shorter
out of order
Hard times
Serve as a reminder
Of how I am out of order
Comin’ up, sorta
out of order
out of order
Believe me, I know what’s cool
That’s what I’ve been told by some big-name fools
At least by my team that I imagined in my dream
Fresh to def-ness and clean
Cut and lean
A quarter for my face
A dollar for my punch
A hundred for my lyrics
A billion for my spunk
A million for my helpers
A gagillion for us
Cause without this connection
I’ve got nothing but a bust, yuck!
So hard times
Serve as a reminder
Of how I am out of order
Comin’ up, sorta
Tall but shorter
out of order
Hard times
Serve as a reminder
Of how I am out of order
Comin’ up, sorta
out of order
out of order
