House Of Cards
(Kontrast)
Lock it down, just to hold me over
But don't talk too loud, cause you might blow me over
When the diamond glamour's strong
And the spade digs the grave
But the club hammers on
Still my heart's here to stay
Let's see you stack up when your chips fall
When your thick walls get ripped by brick balls
Grip all your pitfalls
When the shit stalls and your spit draws
Thick coughs, get lost, hit fog
See where the tick crawls in the shit stalls in the strip malls?
You forget all the tricks fit to break it off
Shake it off..
Forgot I had a smarter bluff:
Laid my cards when the odds weren't enough
So every sweet syllable becomes a bleak miracle
They reachin' out to touch but never claim that they're feeling you
Now I've come between the two:
Fame and the allegiance
Or the dame and the bereavement
But I say I need to see it through
Seems advice is a device (de-vice)
Just to advise, add a vice to my life
Now I spite trife
Then I choke time
Stop still night and day
But a broke clock is still right twice a day
CHORUS x2
If I could take the day with me
Then I would make you say you'd see
I should take it patiently
Cause now I can hear how the caged bird sings
(Fo Chief)
It's a beautiful day, I wake up every morning
With the gloom on my face, knowing that you is on a
Different part of my page, I think you kinked my armor
As far as me, I'm in pain, not what the doctor ordered
It's funny, how one decision can change everything
A second you have 'em, the next they onto heavens' wing
I dunno what happened, imagine all the worst of things
I hope they find a path to peace, ain't no more worrying
I stare off to the moon venting my pain astray
It's like when I need it now it's always a day away
Life twists, and it turns and it hurts, bra
Swearin' it's workin' against ya just to murk ya
Damn
And then you take a deep breath
Re-evaluating on what you think's best
Yo I'm tired of waitin' so I'mma eat next
So I gotta dig deepest to reach my complete depth
BRIDGE
(A.V.I.U.S of Prime Element)
Spend so much time tryna succeed
Pickin' up what's left under siege
Bendin' walls just tryna believe
Still wishin' on a dream while the caged bird sings
Spend a lifetime tryna succeed
To watch it all fall apart at the seams
Cashin' in now, tryna believe
Still wishin' on a dream while the caged bird sings
(Spoke-In-Wordz)
All my life I been known as a bad guy
I walk around with a smile so I don't give off a bad vibe
But underneath this smile is pain
A sad face pissed at the game
Cause these fake "jacks" are lame
With no "heart"
Callin' themselves "kings,"
Better hope it rains, cause this is what hell brings
Risin' like a phoenix out of the flames into a Dark Knight
What's your next move?
I'm steps ahead of you, bet it's a hard life...
Shake my hand friend, join me
Feel the "joy of my buzz," you can't avoid me....I'm hot
With a sadistic sense of humor
Spit sick, the ruler
Rip shit, and go ballistic
A villain on the mic
Crook of my city is the rumor
Kill 'em every night
Don't let this grin fool ya
I'm 'bout to set it off and take this city with me
It's up to you to save it, but the situation's frisky
Come get me
CHORUS x4
If I could take the day with me
Then I would make you say you'd see
I should take it patiently
Cause now I can hear how the caged bird sings
