Lyrics for Gas Leak

Don't, You don't wanna be the one to say it No Christmas this Christmas, kitchen frigid Space heater in the room, Chinese delivered Watch Knicks, every shot missed Like airplane bottles out mini-fridges I wash dishes, I'm an isthmus My arm's length is quite the distance Once distant future now day to day existence My ex-wife is my mistress Your woman on a pedestal but this Ruby Red shit Put your life on the grid, let niggas see how you did Look close kids, you can see where a nigga just barely slid in Under a microscope it's clear somethin' had to give Words glib, dress 'em up, put 'em on the track to see what you can get Verse to turn to tricks, pacin' the telly sick Still took the money, I'm a piece of shit Prodigal, blew the gift, it was a hell of a trip But I'm back rappin' through lapels of my vest I drive 'to style stripped it for parts With a copped carburetor But ya mans wanted two large Road to the riches lookin' like [?] Black cop, another hour of chaos, took the day off Summoned the ancestors with crack rock at the seance Land raised sativas from the banks of the Mekong Face like Madiba at Liliesleaf Farm Tsa swabbed my palms Grapefruit notes, with the tarragon Obama incense, ten percent the proceeds go to Farrakhan This the long con, long rifle, get the damn kids off the lawn Tryna stop time, Taliban, tryna stop time like a movie bomb Dea on my Android party-line like I [?] It doesn't seem like they are thinking very far ahead In terms of their own interests And he says, "Are you kidding?" You know, these people are looking at quarterly reports And if they're in the red for two quarters, they're out But, basically, they're looking at very short term profits Of their corporations, in competition with other corporations Their job is to get that next quarterly report Into the black and their shares up
