defcee & messiah musik - scapegrace (2013) lyrics
[verse 1]
a bitter flavor on the tongue
another death, another razor in the lungs
climbin’ up the ranks with tissue paper on the rungs
d+mn…thought i’d finally turn the tables til they spun
cash rent fed to the liquor store register
workin’ in the system, made my living off predators
worst thing about my job was it existed
it should never take poems to save kids in a prison
two therapists: jack and jim
ask ’em for advice, take a nap, and then ask again
they can’t gimme what i’m lookin for, i’ll ask the hen
takin a hundred pounds of muscle to crack a grin
snappin’ out a nightmarе, smackin’ wind
radiator quiet, but the windows cacklin’
i featurеd at open mics full of these rapper kids
now i’m back at the beginning while they’re stackin’ ends
[hook]
as each day runs into the next
i was strugglin’ for more, and i was hustlin’ for less
slender little digits huddled in a check
still kept a brave face b+ttoned to the neck
as each day runs into the next
i was strugglin’ for more, and i was hustlin’ for less
slender little digits huddled in a check
still kept a brave face b+ttoned to the neck
[verse 2]
millennial american splendor:
the only inheritance from my grandparents was records
text threads with my ex held the stench of embarrassing effort
twenty+four goin on forty and my skin was wearin’ the weather
hate bad for the face: breakin’ out
after congratulating my homies with laughter and cake
they didn’t trust the smile, so they looked me in the eye
saw a little joy, jealousy pushing it aside
from a hug to a handshake, and gettin’ snubbed
is a mandate, with no bluff in my fam’s face
blood thicker than water. tension thicker than both
needed to vent bout it all. that’s when i missed ’em the most
friends! how many of us have ’em blocked?
a heavy hammer smashed the bond to rags and rocks
chatterbox in the shadows punchin’ my pride to dust
blood ran from my arm waitin’ to dap a midas up
[hook]
as each day runs into the next
i was strugglin’ for more, and i was hustlin’ for less
slender little digits huddled in a check
still kept a brave face b+ttoned to the neck
as each day runs into the next
i was strugglin’ for more, and i was hustlin’ for less
slender little digits huddled in a check
still kept a brave face b+ttoned to the neck
