Shrapnel

[Verse 1]

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 so 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 given

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, til ya hit me with a tall potion

Think quick, how much more insult

Will it take for me to break your light bulb

Shrapnel

[Chorus]

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

[Verse 2]

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]

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

[Interlude]

You think we're gonna win?

Do you wanna win?

Are you gonna help me win?

Shrapnel

[Chorus]

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

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 cold rain

Of course I've came to show you shrapnel

[Outro]
