[Slug]
Shrapnel...
I can`t remember who asked me, but someone asked me
How long I thought that I would be allowed atop this trash heap
I didn`t answer cause I`m tired of criticizing the masses
Inspired the support the devouring of the self
All the power to the people who dig potholes
Placed me in a glass case full of lost treasures and fossils
Got a right to be hostile, my love is gettin` gang raped
By an army full money hungry crocodiles
Quantity is up, market in a flood
But the party over here has never steered through this much love
I`ll take the laughter, but I`d rather have the women
Who am I kiddin`? I`ll be content with whatever I`m givin`
Work for food, rent, sex, money, or water
I don`t know what else that you have to offer
Your first born daughter? No need, already got her
She came to the set hungry and left hot and bothered
My posse`s full of women, computer nerds, and thugs
Much to my dismay, I`m none of the above.
Someday I`ma be the mack of the minute
And you were so damn good I`ma have to forget it
Listen to the mimic, it`s almost on
Drink, tigga(?) hit me with a tall potion(?)
Think quick, how much more insult
Will it take for me to break your light bulb
Shrapnel...
[Chorus x2]
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It`s hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?)
Of course I`ve came to show you shrapnel
[Slug]
Check your mail, climb your ladder
Count the pieces you`ve managed to gather
Does it matter? What are you trying to achieve?
Let go of your throat if you`re dying to breathe
And finally we`ve begun to make a little progress
Ain`t a single dock in this river that can stop us
Lost in the mix like a feeble(?) over dub
Got me screaming at these shippin` till these people know what`s up
Yeah Slug`s back, but his collection of hub caps
Caught a buzzin` brought a notebook full of love raps
Open the pipes and tuck that voice in
I`ma sit on this corner and nibble on my poison
Baby once in awhile I find a reason to smile
But most the time it`s spent deep in denial
It`s all make believe, I want the cake to eat
But this lake`s too deep, tryin` to stand on two feet
Wonderin` about the thunder runnin` through this blood
I try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snug
Study the love, took my degree
Shoved it into a bottle, chucked it into the sea
Shrapnel...
[Chorus x2]
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It`s hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?)
Of course I`ve came to show you shrapnel
Shrapnel...
[Chorus x4]
Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet
It`s hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target
Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?)
Of course I`ve came to show you shrapnel
Shrapnel...(repeated to end)
I am not ugly (reversed)
