Damage

Lyrics for Damage

I rock somewhere between Jay-Z and Charles S. Dutton No more motherfucker jobless shucking Pushing that Mutually Assured Destruction button Lights out, world. Guinness stout hurled Intergalactus Mount, prepare for rolling blackouts Black Backwoodz rolling on back routes No doubt. Put the mic down, get your Gats out, lick a round for this champion sound Gutter mouth, speaker face, subwoofer Under the ribcage, enter the valley with The light brigade, clutching rusty razorblades Gillette phrase giving out close shaves Like UNLV games. I take great Pains not to sound like you lames, not to Sound like you lames I see dead people, photo albums of yearbook Pages, rusting, gilded cages oxymo- -Ronic like slave wages. Pressure build 'til it Cracks gauges, swallow pride, mouthfuls Of razors and catch the vapors, burning bare Foot in Jamaica to dodging lasers in the land of Skyscrapers, old-school payphones and pagers Drunk, bucking out blazers, hit Bystanders and keep stepping like drum majors That's gangster, huh? woods collapse Stages. pulling favors, that's Gangster, huh? Or so you think The world is roller rink—skate 'til that Gate clink. Some of these lady cops could get a wink But they better not blink. Somewhere from Dissing NSYNC to gangster ink, too much Alizé in that drink. That's some TV shit 'Cause, in the hood, same niggas that empty clips In wheelchairs, saying if they had one wish... But the damage is done Careful like operation, shock therapy patient Grow room, be patient, spit Vacation, inhale medication, a blue Blood relation, paradox when he bled Thoroughbred, thorough dreads, higher heights Known for getting nights rolling like dice, holding Top flight, duty-free THC ener- -Gy. RPG, who the enemy? Sober off the Hennessey, sweating bullets In Tennessee, guerilla my pedigree All I need is ten of me—that's self- -Therapy like Hamas on my couch Why are guided missiles headed for the house? I got A claymore mount, shrapnel grill shine like Players down south. Don't let me find Your whereabout, put your body's parts there- -Abouts. Now you're quiet as a church mouse Sunday service baptized with verses More water, water than a go-go. You nervous This style cursive, coercive like Police chokehold, accidentally on purpose Accidentally on purpose
