King Shiv

[Verse 1] Woke up feeling like I put some lotion in the basket Can you even recall the times Before your pheromones took your common sense hostage And left you in the rain to dry And if you’ve ever gotten everything that you wanted well Wouldn't that be some king shit But as the case would have it Well, you certainly haven't You've been empty-mouthing every step of it [Verse 2] All the old-timers in the neighborhood swear That you're cursed with a face people hate But every single one of them's an endless variation Of Popeye raised on lead paint [Pre-Hook] And all the "woulda coulda shoulda Did it cause my buddy's over" Get to it when this here is done Repeated time and time again It grows into a second skin I can't believe there even could be [Hook] A secret life between your eyes that I don't seem to see Are you satisfied with waiting here for heaven forever? [Verse 3] Waiting for your schemes only weakens at the seams All the scenes that you've spun in the dark And who wants weak desires waiting for them in the wings After years of leathering your scars [Pre-Hook] [Hook]
