lyrics

[VERSE 1: CENSORED DIALOGUE]
My momma said she’d kill me
If I call CPS
Then turn around and be confused
Why I ain’t bring home no guests
Now why the fuck you treating me
Like a vermin or pest
Strike me down with a vengeance
Leave me off of the crest

Daddy used to say
That they should’ve gotten rid of me
My whole life’s a cycle
Of them building and depleting me
Everything is sacred except me
I’m a commodity
I am the embodiment
Of all the world’s obscenities

I set fire to the mantle
Cuz it did me no good
I flew the fuck up off the handle
Like all good women should
Can’t hold a candle to the past
Because the name don’t exist
Now our connections are in shambles
Interaction so brisk

I wish we could talk through all the bad
But I know you’re sick
All redeeming qualities you had
Could never save this shit
I know your head is hard as bricks
So I must impart with this
The apple ain’t fall far
But at least I tried to roll a bit

[VERSE 2: SADISTIK]
Homie said God is my enemy
To show me he offered me ketamine
Rotten skin’s crawling with centipedes
How many shots til a cop is a memory?
Serpents all turned to Perseus
Leave you no altar to worship with
Sharks always circle him
Rottweiler bark like he Cerberus
All of my walls Black Paintings, all of my gods can’t save me
All of my opps can’t face me, all of their talks got gangrene
Hollow eyes watch all waiting
Homicides not off table
On a high got that scapegoat
Water my Columbines onto my halo
Watch how I change tones
He’s got his Father’s eyes, it's prophesied
I’ll pop a pill and watch the skies
Sometimes I feel I’m not alive
I wanna kill what's not aligned its all I find inside
Idle eyes got revitalized, pick up bad habits drop the vital signs
Look outside it's spiral lines, LA smog ripe with cyanide
Yea, I know how to spot em
Gimme that baggie I know that you got em
Lord of Gomorrah, Pope of the Sodom
Why would I off you there’s no one to watch ?
Write it in car fuel that’s glow in the dark
Light it and watch your soul go with the spark
I am an obstacle no one can cross
Yea, show em to god

[VERSE 3: BACKXWASH]
How to explain every shame
With all that I felt when I dealt with Cain
How did the rain bring so much pain
When they coulda melted it the same
How did the angels fall from my grace
And mix with the devils
Leave with their halo
Sinister rebels, demons and melkor,
Tip of the scales, wickedest sulfur

Picture of hell
Picture of heaven
You think of twelve
Think of the seven
I gave em help
Just need them to pray in
Fix all their faces
See the arrangements (FUCK)
I gotta keep all the planets from shifting the spaces
Vindictive complaining when all decisions are flagrant,
Then they need me to engage with

Hold up,
I did a lot for these bitches
I lived a rock for these bitches
I gave em pac
I’ve been the hope to these bitches
I brought the prophet to bitches

They’ll pay respects in the fire and brim,
Elijah and kin the violent things
Jesus will need to annihilate me
The Jesuits will sing from the highest of peaks

Beezlebub brought to his knees
Asmodeus, gon leap from the tallest of trees
Satan won't feel so forsaken
Now that the lord has awoken and brought all his grace in

I did it all cause I love em,
This is the compassion
If you don’t like it, then fuck em
The Alpha Omega, lord of the justice
One that’s above it (TRUST)
