Lyrics

8 DIAGRAM RUFF

[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse]

Born in a lion's pit

Scorch when I'm writin' it

'course I be dinin' with, slums

Where the lightning hit?

Dumb if you fight with her

D be the fire, then I guess I'll be the hydrogen

Dirty like the city we be hidin' in

When they hear the Titans spit, they widenin' they irises

Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE build something bigger than a collaboration

Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE build something bigger than a collaboration

There’s been plenty of crossover between Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE over the years, but ‘POMPEII // UTILITY’ is where it all clicks into place. Built with SURF GANG and stretched across a double album, it captures two artists doing exactly what they want, exactly how they want to do it.
