Artichoke

[Verse 1: billy woods]

It's certain things you can only learn from a fist fight

I used to use a toothbrush to keep my kicks white

It mattered that much

In hindsight, it seemed like someone else's life

Flush my system with sativas

Knock off the rust and fuck standing up

White phosphorus burning through the night

Skeleton crew on a slaver, hug the equator tight

Drone fly like metal kite

Hellfire out the sky, open your book to Revelations

Anyone hatin', this your chance to get right

Ceremony in the church basement

In the dark, waitin' for the bride

[Hook: billy woods]

Move like the black codes

Folded paper in my coat

Came home to coal fired stove, little fish fulla bones

Chokin', the weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown

The weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown

Move like the black codes

Folded paper in my coat

Came home to coal fired stove, little fish fulla bones

Chokin', the weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown

The weeds overgrown

[Verse 2: billy woods]

Young boy asked if it's pressure, I bent the knee as a gesture

Every move measured

Weighing up while she laying there pregnant

Lotta rappers worry about gender bending

I just peep who asked the question

I keep my own counsel, go ahead, keep the suggestions

I won't even hold you

Two trackin' with the super dry vocal

Cyborg, they had to cut him out the car, totalled

At the service, looking sad, but really mad over how much dough he still owed you

(I want my money, funeral or no funeral, I want my money)

A piece of the action is all I'm askin'

Everything broke down into fractions

The fire long dead, just the smoke and ashes

Hope is an assassin, fear fill up the casket

One day I woke up, everything was made of plastic

She loves me not is where we landed

When the music stops, folks start looking for answers

Embarrassed child go looking for handguns

Extended clip on the stick

Ear protection for the tantrum

[Hook: billy woods]

Move like the black codes

Folded papers in my coat

Came home to coal fired stove, little fish fulla bones

Chokin', the weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown

The weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown

Move like the black codes

Folded paper in my coat

Came home to coal fired stove, little fish fulla bones

Chokin', the weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown

The weeds overgrown, the weeds overgrown
