busdriver - bone structure lyrics
[intro: busdriver]
let me tell ya
k!ll your p-n-s and wash mine
cause the story can drown out a chorus line
so pull up a chair and pour the wine and i’ll show you how i got here
[verse 1: busdriver]
i fell from a gash in the rain cloud
into a bed of jazz minister jasmine’s brain child
looking global[?] like a g-y archbishop and the game cartridges
in a city of plastic bottles reading graphic novels
in green comedy[?] to cheese toast bagels
all the white friends thought i was pre-post-racial
all the black friends dressed like heavy d calculating trendy jeans customizing their own stds
my part seems genetically engineered
with war correspondents and orthopedic kedy[?] gear
and flannel shirts when the cancer’s purse[?] sheds a tear
so i fill them with white chest with lead adidas[?]
my mom was a dancer, dad was a screenwriter
during the interim ceasefire, my name never hit the police wire
cause my dad’s favored[?] by a gucci shop
but my mom was broken box across from the study-pox[?]
from there went from straight a to straight flunk
my number one influence was a crystallized cocaine chunk
so i’m going through the motions like a lame duck
sad cause my mom was h-tting keys like dave funk
d-mn
[hook: open mike eagle]
it’s only two ways
i was alone and it was quite clear
i be on my own trying to fight this fear
i barely survive and so there’s all this weird in my skeleton bones
i was alone and it was quite clear
i be on my own trying to fight this fear
i barely survive and so there’s all this weird in my skeleton bones
[bridge: busdriver]
come on
k!ll your p-n-s and wash mine
cause the story can drown out a chorus line
so fix your hair and snort your line
and i’ll tell you how i got here
[verse 2: busdriver]
i got my sniveling inner child quarantined
started snorkeling with good lifers at age 14
chilling with them taught me how to make a record happen
i spent every second rapping, i was method acting
but i was up in court for the attack that made blood sport/spurt
so my teen years in l.a. were cut short
my uncle took me taught me about porta cheese and paellla
now i speak portoguese
we stayed in the villa of his ex-lover
then like next i’m up in the scuba bra[?]
i can see my daughter in paris
with the daughter of the famous phil parapador[?]
i can’t believe we’re only behind the closet door
[hook: open mike eagle]
it’s only two ways (tell him mike, yea)
i was alone and it was quite clear
i be on my own trying to fight this fear
i barely survive and so there’s all this weird in my skeleton bones
[verse 3: busdriver]
i lost my pajamas in p.a
but i found out how much a dream weigh
by selling recordable discs to get by
i was shy with an adorable lisp but i
put the wedding cake in the cash register
so my head sp-ce became a crab nebula
what’s pokemon?
handworn[?] s-x toys are the stribers’ woody[??????]
is on by the hustle so i’m staying a cyberbully
he finds crowds that you can’t inspire fully
spam box, ham hocks, i’m a blowhard
hip-hop, motherf-cker, and it’s full-form
i do shows for a smile and a h-ll no’s[?]
making baby formula out of underground dough
[hook: open mike eagle]
it’s only two ways (i did that sh-t, homie)
i was alone and it was quite clear
i be on my own trying to fight this fear
i barely survive and so there’s all this weird in my skeleton bones
i was alone and it was quite clear
i be on my own trying to fight this fear
i barely survive and so there’s all this weird in my skeleton bones
[outro: busdriver]
my soul relies underneath
my soul relies underneath
