lyrics

It’s not the grind, you inherited a ripsaw
Chugging through your slick-talk bubble that my fists pop
With your rickshaw lugging you around
Drowning in miscalled numbers on your wristwatch
To you, all necessities are purely accoutrements
How ‘bout you start a settlement of actually doing shit
I’m catching on quick; you’re John Vukovich
Gene accrual’s fortuitous
Calloused, Brown hands are a stain on my lineage supposedly
But they stamp the sepia hue on my codices
That explain that the filial arrangements determine what you’ll grow to be
Like a Stakhanovite; limited toolbelt
Sitting with a pot of rice and figure the spoon fell
Stir but nothing sticks; the furniture is fixed
Hollow condoms are your proper price
Stalagmite process; there’s not a lot of time
Felt pads crash into the flop and slip
Stop skittish polishing it isn’t right
Can’t pick a lot of fights; quiverfull plight, shot the knife
Litter is expansive, tell me
Who else is gonna live inside that motherfucking mansion?
Bad cop, worse cop, mea culpa
When the stone rolls out, the weakness shows up
And you call yourself a seasoned sculptor?
Paintbrush, no chisel, keep the brooch tucked
Pulsates when the jig is up
You expect me to take off time just ‘cause the wing is plucked?
