realrose – the quarantine tapes lyrics

1. gemini

[verse 1]

woe is me on a night like this
my grave i dig, i’m settled in
the coffin lid close at the count of ten
the love i got, the love i give
the man i’m not, the man you is
you ain’t sh+t
you ain’t sh+t
i ain’t her
i ain’t him
i ain’t them
i’m friends with the enemy, the inner me, the gemini inside of me
for him i got a lock and key
i bob and weave my tendencies to lock and load and let him go
i’m really getting tired of this merry go around, i think i’m finna blow
the top off of this lid
hop out of this sh+t
heart beating again
resurrect, on my jesus flow
oh

[chorus]

and this the sh+t i deal with on the daily
i really think i might be going crazy in this b+tch
on my gemini sh+t
on my gemini sh+t
on my gemini sh+t
i’m going crazy in this b+tch
on my gemini sh+t
on my gemini sh+t
on my gemini sh+t
i know i know

[verse 2]

’cause i ain’t the type to know the type, i’m too uptight
if the mood ain’t right, i move on by, find me high
but i might be low
i fight these woes
nikes torn, i can’t afford
money’s more or less gone at the brink of dawn
my psyche’s strong
weeks are long
days are dark
pray the lord save my soul
the devil knocks
brace the door
this never stops
back and forth
my pencil’s sharp but never forged
credentials got every bone conformed and accounted for
account is poor so i might go
vlad
prepare the forks but here’s the pitch
i’ll show you rose, show you both
me and him, unexposed, so you know
be careful what the f+ck you be wishing for

[chorus]

and this the sh+t i deal with on the daily
i really think i might be going crazy in this b+tch
on some gemini sh+t
on some gemini sh+t
on some gemini sh+t
i’m going crazy in this b+tch
on some gemini sh+t
on some gemini sh+t
on some gemini sh+t
i’m going crazy in this b+tch
on some gemini sh+t

2. quarantine

[verse 1]

i’ve been lied upon and cried upon and preyed upon and played the p+wn, i’m standing strong
pops and mom too broke too long, the magic’s done, they up’t and gone in smoke, taa+daa
curtain call
i’m working hard, working long
serving raw lines like i’m breaking laws
who the god we seek in awe
i coup de grâce the beat, the song
beneath it all
i put a little bitty piece of me in every drop of the ink
i’m starting to think
not much left in the tank
less in the bank
hopscotch day to a day
you ain’t her
and you ain’t him
and you ain’t them
and you ain’t they
but you is you and that’s ok
that’s alright
that’s all grand
don’t pretend, d+mn, what i’m saying again?
i be caught up in myself when i got pen in my hand
oh yea
that’s life and it’s this and that
tit for tat
miss or match
tits or ass
it’s all the same
you call or pass
ball or crash
lawless fashion, all for grabs
quarter+packs packed
had me border+lining back and forth and asking for a savior, oh
save the bull
save my soul
save the kids
say your grace and thank the lord
i’m alive

[verse 2]

d+mn what an intro
i don’t tot pistols
i still blew your mind but the matter confidential
broke four walls, byproduct residential
caught up in myself i never show, tell or mention
suicide grab the nine but take your time
c+ck back, aim, but be off by like
four or five feet to the left or the right
’cause i ain’t ready to die
i’m busy k!lling instrumentals
what a time to be alive, freeze
i’ma be alright
and do alright
move on up
below this sky
i’ll move on out
blow my high
smoke my lows away
way the wind blow
way the rose sway, i got spring on my window
a couple of you love that one but this ain’t rental
different bus but the mood a memento
and this is the place i come back to when i don’t have nowhere to go
and i need a place to come back to, this place is a house not a home
and this is the place i come back to when i don’t have nowhere to go
and i need a place to come back to, this place is a house not a home
rose

3. monochrome

[verse 1]

i walk the city within a barrage of faces
familiar paper traces, might as well label them faceless
familiar paper chases, the trials and tribulations
connecting conditions, we nameless
neighbors with no name, we strangers
strangers who rob your good favor
homies who rob you for favors then come back ’round later to sit at your table
toast to the young and the able
cross by the cradle, the devil’s inside the piano
whistles along to the the song in a bando
panda perspective, monochrome view from my angle
angels be losing they halo
oh

[chorus]

looking at the world through my monochrome kaleidoscope, monochrome kaleidoscope
oh
sit back and i watch it spin, round and round and round it go, round and round and round it go
oh
it’s either black or white
i feel so gray inside
i filtered out my sight
oh
scope it through a monochrome kaleidoscope, monochrome kaleidoscope

[verse 2]

don’t ever act as if you ain’t got nothing to lose
cinderella couldn’t fit in my shoes, forty two
twenty three chrome to your dome, lose the boots, jeans, hoodie and shirt
piece of your worth
peace in the mind requires leaving the earth
evening thoughts induce searching for truth
even the odds and give your odyssey birth
oddly enough, i’m into modesty too
partially due to people who be watching my moves
cinema views
rooftop rhythm and blues
cynical hues
proof of synonymous use of you
i see the world through the filter like vsco
black and white shades of gray as i tip+toe
i don’t wanna make a sound if i hit gold
too alone in a crowd, so i sit home
oh

[chorus]

4. floating

[verse 1]

stuck in a limbo
lord, send me a symbol
or a signal
non+confidential
something to help me get through the mental
back and forth interrogation, conviction of self
every second is suspect, alibi’s on the shelf
i dwell on yesterday, they say it’s all downhill, oh well
so far off in the deep end, i roll in it like two adeles
pools of woe i slip and fell in, toss a penny to the well
fortune favors those who sell it, got a fortune in myself
unfortunately your thoughts ain’t worth the price
good intent don’t pay the rent
when kobe lost his life, sh+t hit me
you and i better buckle up for this ride
i thought if i’m verified i’m finna be living find
come to find, that’s a lie, even legends gotta die
twenty four’s not a sight i obsess in
so i struggle with the question, should i even play my part?
twenty twenty fell apart at the start
three months went by, i really made like no art

[chorus]

and you can find me, i be floating over my city, i’m hoping i don’t die here
i been gone just for a minute too long, my god, time flies here
i be on a different vibe, other day i lost my life
you should come and see my side, nowadays i survive but i’m floating

[verse 2]

i’m so abnormally gifted at tying words into verses, it hurts to say that half’ll never reach they hertz
too elusive to a cube, my angels something more obtuse
if you need me to spell it out to you, i’m speaking to your cursive
what’s worse?
pursue my purpose or pursue the purse
pursuit of happiness, it got me feeling cudi with this curse
bl++dy thoughts, like what if i ain’t ever make this work?
money talks, so i be sitting silent in this room, like sh+t
better the odds boy, go give ’em something with bop, boy
pick up the cards boy, know that you fishing for sharks, boy
get a facade
believe it or not
i’m paying the cost
i’m playing the role
fitted, i got me an old
a+okay show for the road
chauffeur take me home
i ain’t ever been this low
i ain’t ever been the type for someone so marilyn monroe
if i’m caught up on my woes, i’ma have to let it show
lord knows, this the realest sh+t i wrote, truly yours
rose

[chorus]

5. circles

[verse 1]

i’m walking the atlas
i carry the weight of the world on my axis
stress on my mattress
i just so happen to be in my room but i see it as if it’s a palace
poison my chalice
boys in the hood, for the dough, boy they malice
toy apparatus
whole lot of savage
b+tch, i be cut from a different fabric
no habit of acting as if i’m a g
i couldn’t be
but i could see all the struggles of poverty, we all just looking for something to eat
feed me i’m hungry, i’m looking for beef
i ain’t had sh+t that was given to me
boy, if i got it, i worked for that sh+t, don’t question my authenticity
boy, ain’t no p+ssy in me
go ahead and push me, i carry my life of my sleeve
i ain’t got nothing to hide but the demons in me slowly creep and seep onto the beat
they bopping their head when i bleed with the pen, i got ’em connecting the dots a least
maybe i’m too busy piecing the pieces together that i lost the peace in me
sheesh

[chorus]

i know, i know, i know
i’ve been running but i’m running in circles like oh
i know, i know, i know
i know, i know, i know
i’ve been running but i’m running in circles like oh
i know, i know, i know

[verse 2]

i’m trying to break even, i can not visit this evening
i’m always dreaming, but you never catch me sleeping in
i bury my demons, but they find a way to come creeping in
my city is bleeding and i feel like i’m on my own again
like woah
i’m at a low
i’m at a, i’m at a, i’m at a low, like
i’m at a low, like
i’m at a, i’m at a, i’m at a, i’m at a
i’m at a low, like
i’m at a, i’m at a low, like
i’m at a low, like
i’m at a, i’m at a, i’m at a, i’m at a
all time low for the show
i can not do this no more
i just be stuck in my sh+ll
i just be stuck in my woes
i put the keys on the shelf
i put my feet on the floor
i cut the wings off myself
my halo be losing the glow
i’m at a low

[chorus]
