Lyrics

On and on and on down the line

You got ‘em strung on a vine but you’re living a lie

I said on and on and on down the line

You got ‘em strung on a vine but you’re living a lie

Still I’m

Looking for a sign of a pulse

Sit back until the bridges collapse and watch ‘em play fault

They plot it all out

Get the story holding water but forgot about the bottom dropping out

So don’t come running ‘round here when your sky falls

What goes round comes back round

One two three

Every day same waltz

One two

And if that soft shoe fits dance til the stage falls

With your lies in the background

Truth in the forefront Two-step to the safe house

Sweat when the storm comes

But we don’t do that step no more

God bless the dead and arrested war

You sowed it so it fits you

And you know how low it get’s you

But you sowed it so it fits you

No matter what you do

It comes back to you

And you know Bamf is ready

Yeah, that’s a given

The bastard’s in me

City slicker slip through the cracks of your city

I won’t sell my dreams

I keep the livestock fed

Clip the leaves before they turn and burn the field when the crop’s dead Plant feet

Chop heads

To the vocal cord

You are not the tale-teller

This is not folklore

The Shape of Rap to Come resembles an open door

We’re wondering what the rest of the country had closed for

I say that to say this

You can act innocent

Fill your glass to the brim

With your back to the wind

But sooner or later its going to catch up

It all adds up

Breaks the scales

You don’t match up

Parasite-like feeding off the others

Then fighting for your life to keep what you stole

You hold yourself as the self-keystone, huh?

It’s a one-way road

Everybody pays what they owe
