Lyrics

SADE

[Verse 1: MIKE]

Yeah

And I ain't never runnin' with the snakes

Man, you better watch your hand you taking nothing from my plate

All I got is this Metro and these problems that I face

Feeling hollow and decayed as I'm walking through the cater

I been feeling lost and misplaced, cause I been chasing after paper

Evading from the fake ones, and you been damaging my soul

And I don't need no cannabis to grow, also I ain't wanna cross you

Find your ankles on the road, and inside I feel a void

I cannot hand your ass a home

It's so hard to face the fact that I'm alone

I be walking through these streets until the cracking of my bones

I'm a- I'm a hard hitter, sharp shooter, the stars glitter, the harsh winter

I'm a- I'm a hard hitter, sharp shooter, the stars glitter, the harsh winter

Harsh winter

[Verse 2: Adé Hakim]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Went to- went to- yeah

Went to New York, I entered this sport to pin ya, to floss

I came up out of town with MIKE, to bring you some noise (bring you some noise)

Not a fake, man you a choice, I gotta say, my ass in hot lava

Saving the pennies boy, and I can't avoid the days I can't see joy

I'm boutta pull out fancy toys, trigger the manly voice

Nigga, hard hitter, sharp shooter when stars glitter, my skin turn pale in these harsh winters

[Verse 3: Caleb Giles]

I see em' slither in my path, no breaks on the road

From the cold, running past, all my foes, with my strength

Through the lows, with the gas

Yeah, I see em' slither-

I see em' slither in my path, no breaks on the road

From the cold, running past, all my foes, with my strength

Through the lows, with the gas

Yeah

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.
