Lyrics for Gang for a Day

Numb fumblin' Fats Walker Feel like a little girl lookin' up at the system like Damn, your feets too big Reptilian heads circlin' around the sun New school, like eh dun, your gang sign's weak R.I.P. to the beat down (For the homies, right?) I guess I'm throwing up 80 East now (That's what they say, right?) For the homies Poured the whole bottle on the ground Still woozy off the beat down Grey meat inside the C-town Quarter ki in the lost and found 'long with a thousand umbrellas A hundred mismatched gloves One solitary shoe Peter Sеllers in the club, my black face thе elephant in the room They wanna be gang for a day We on that wire when you get waved It's all just talk 'til you get paid And even then, is what E L U C I D say, said Don't mind me, I be hearin' the voices in your head Don't mind me, I be hearin' the voices in your head Simple and plain, put that thing on your brain Make it go blah, make it rain with the pain Method to the madness I ain't holdin' no signs for change I ain't got no part, no name I ain't give a fuck about they game I'm feelin' the magic, ain't never been savage This shit is so tragic, this whole shit is so tragic They can take it, can have it I only write for the dead, somethin' E L U C I D said Wrong words get you cracked in the head Fresh out the womb, they jump you in Family in the waitin' room, blood thick then thin (Colors) Blood drip on the starter (Colors) Blood thicker than water Mom said, "don't let anybody take what's ours" In other words, don't come home without it I thought she was angry, now I know it was fear Every home a trap house when you think about it (Colors) Ancestors is there, every room crowded Blood thud in my ears when they say you look like how he did (Colors, colors, colors) The gang's all here, the blood's all shared The love is real, the love is there I thought she was mad, now I know she was just scared Flag on the dome, flag on the door, flag in the air Flag on the dome, flag on the door, flag in the air Flag on the dome, flag on the door, flag in the air
