about

where the magic is made

lyrics

hook:

i stayed awake 'til my mission became
a mosaic of blood on my wall
then i reawakened amazed that it faded
faded to nothing at all
it said
we're gonna run through the streets with torches
of burning tabloid magazines
and then maybe one day we'll rebuild the real
from shreds of exploited fantasies

1:

free bird, never meddle with the poultry
shine too bright, better get a set of Oakley’s
got heart like a sentimental oak tree
son sold horse til they sent him to the Pokey

some count sheep just to get a little mo’ sleep
i only do it for the benefit of bo peep
my killa tape’s worth more than your real estate
i kill a snake with the venom in its own teeth

smooth like the new lou rawls
but they wanna see ratchets and them Youtube brawls
if you feel what I feel like a voodoo doll
then tiny dancer, let me take your tutu off

one touch from the wushu claw
would probably turn these dumb fucks into moo shu sauce
it’s a wonderful life until you’re under the ice
i’m just here to find the medicine for zuzu’s cough

hook

2:

no no don't blame me
i'm just a mild mannered bystander hummin like do remi
you sellin showcase dreams
i'm helpin old ladies
so if jimmy needs a kidney i'mma donate three

but i only got two of them
so that means you and them
probably gon' be losing them
switch up my pseudonym
son of jerusalem's diaspora
tap thoughts back to louisville with that bat of aluminum

i tiptoe on the top of a thin rope
between what is en vogue and shit for my kinfolk
never had trouble getting honeys to disrobe
the flag on my pistol says y’all getting rickrolled

can y’all put the coke down?
the spirit's in the stones, i’m the talk of the ghost town
we are hope seekers
walking through a river of blood with no sneakers
and we’re lost in the foreground

you're looking right at us
acting like a maybach passing by an old dodge stratus
hey, yo, we’re live from the nation of the baddest
the angelina and the braddest
and we smile through the sadness

hook
