Bmmbelbi on the Beat

lyrics

The clock rolls
Han solo frozen gold
Wookiee in the cold
Red dot on my crossbow
Day old rave sticks littered like the lost glow
Floss thorough brow furrowed in the zone
Burrowed like subway tunnels
Dumb oaf approaching every show so gung ho
And hold the crowd in a trance while they dance to one note
Governors race hung up by one vote
Control info as the story gets retold
Withhold income tax from the system
Sealed lips commits sins of omission
Pay it forward like a good christian
Blood sippin nibblin crisp bones of the messiah
Cold pennies for your well wishing
That’s my two cents if ur not sold
Keep it locked and in the pocket like some good soul
Stand firm won’t tip when the wind blows
Rose from the bottom like a rocky road
Blistered toes and tattered clothes
At a funeral and recite Poe
A sole raven in a pack of crows
The moment an image shows as your eyes close
Lights shone as the oracle awoke

I rose from the ashes
Spit volcanic
Black as the abyss
Obsidian
Rains down from the heavens
Sick with it
Catch the scent and get to it quick
Skip you with flu to the emergency room
They whisperin apocalyptic cuz I bring the fucking doom
Drizzle shift into a monsoon
Y’all celebrity spoofs look like cartoon spin offs
Zmt on pay per view make your screen glitch
Stuck stiff askin for more time like rigor mortise
Dead man walk in and stick up liquor store
Take 4 jugs of captain Morgan
Like pirates of the Mississippi
the way that moonshine will have you trippin
Feel like you sleeping when you slippin
Gripping the game like Nintendo switch
Carry whole worlds in these cartridges
Load em up then fire them
I’m getting higher than the last person in the elevator
