lyrics

FV: Red leather, yellow leather
I you wanna be a martyr baby,
Just follow me.

sTG: blame it on myself, yeah, ‘course i did
face a lot of Ls, yeah, ‘course i did
fourteen months trapped in the studio
they’re asking me if i’ve got anything to show
i guess besides that i’m still alive
and checking on my people ‘cause we’re still deprived
sabotage my health, yeah, ‘course i did
sacrifice myself, yeah, ‘course i did

FV: Ten-dollar words but I rhyme with economy
Spouting broke shit with a dimebag inside of me
Got a lotta thoughts that I kept in my head
But I gotta get em out ’cause I’m feeling half dead
I’m a motormouth motherfucker when I really wanna be
Get it? Got it? Good. Gotta keep up with society
Feeling pretty beat from the battle with the entropy
Pissed that the 27 Clique didn’t take me
Cause I’m just a poor boy, but somebody loves me
Demure at the trigger ’cause I gotta be bigger,
but I betcha I’d be better as a memory.
‘Cause I don’t wake up; I don’t do shit.
Crash on the couch cause I can’t drag my ass ten feet to an actual bed
I feel bad, no I’m not sad
Llewyn off the beat, so I thought I needed sleep; now I know that it’s deeper than that.

Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well.

sTG: sabotage my health, yeah, ’course i did
sacrifice myself, yeah, ’course i did
getting high so i feel everything
i’ve been low to the earth in a funk
thunder clouds at the end of the month
both pockets broken so thank god i’m young
still cracking jokes ‘cause that’s how i cope
turning to smoke when i’m deep in a slump
my doctor told me estradiol makes my blood thicker so i can’t hit the blunt
it’s a journey but it’s tough, five coins hit the table it stated my luck
a cub in the ruins i’m covered in bruises
let ‘em eat velvet my color’s the bluest

ride out a wave, run from my grave, yeah ‘course i did
kill my own kind, leave you behind, yeah ‘course i did

FV, KR: Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well.

I you wanna be a martyr baby,
Just follow me.
Gonna take a short walk off the GWB.
