Hangman

[Verse 1] Matisse without the colors Sharp teeth, new lovers Suck me deep, heart beat in my jugular Snow-capped peaks, rugged Hindu kush, a Sikh surrounded by thuggers Chasing dragons on aluminum sheets It's flying carpets out this motherfucker I don't sleep, I hover outside myself, watching my body survive My shell mechanical People paralyzed by the lies they tell theyself to make it manageable I know the count right, but I recount on sleepless nights because it's tangible Any day could be the day they frogmarch you in manaclеs [Chorus] Paper and pencil, I wrote thе verse like hangman No need to ask who sent you, it was always just a question of when An ill wind in the trees, saplings bend That bird in the hand squeezed dead [Verse 2] I'ma keep it real with you, it's the things you can't undo The past, the black Rubik's cube A time-lapse, running in place like old cartoons I'm old, I go in the booth like cocoon Rappers' protégé's get too big, drift out of orbit, rogue moons I be the only one laughing in the room, niggas unamused I crack a smile at what you say is the truth I be dead serious, laughing in the stu' Dead ass gas got him gasping at the fumes Doja pak with the tax, it's giving shrooms Death proof, the deathtrap goes vroom, vroom ADX Supermax born again in a dead womb Payback always inexact but I be squinting over measuring spoons Before seeking revenge, dig two graves, gon' need one for you One for them, one for you One for them, one for you One for them [Chorus] Paper and pencil, I wrote the verse like hangman No need to ask who sent you, it was always just a question of when An ill wind in the trees, saplings bend That bird in the hand squeezed dead [Outro] They only want niggas to have a little bit of fun. If I get to talking some mess on your show, they'll take your show. They'll fix you too, if you have too much fun. So, if you're black and you're around white folks, don't have too much fun. Just grin a little bit, don't grin all the time, nigga
