about

Been sitting on this one for a while. Thought I'd finally share it.

lyrics

I’m a sad little God
And you’re a wack little fraud
Act like you’re not

But once I’m able to walk

I will Sodom and Gomorrah your thoughts


Don’t put that on me
When you look back on me—sorry

Whether good or bad all of it
Has always been formative—don’t get salty
Don’t put that on me

Can’t put a scratch on me—sorry

If it’s good, bad—even if it’s ugly
Don’t look back—don’t get salty


Tethered down like I’m set in stone & leather-bound
You take for granted without effort how you get around
Instead of drowning in the crevasses of pleather couches
Before I pen another measure let’s forget about it

Let’s count to ten and try to keep the tremors down—shit

Guess I’ll be unfettered when I get around to it
Yet I’m better now than cheddar clowns with lazy hits

AG baby who the hell is this?

You are no one in particular—the same shit

But answer me this riddle—what’s my name kid?
First it’s on the tip of your tongue but you can’t say it

Next it’s on the dew of your breath but you can’t taste it

The future is mine and you can’t take it

I’m the news on every sign and you can’t fake it

AG all they playing—no matter the station

Take me all the way and lets rattle the cages

I’m a sad little God
And you’re a wack little fraud
Act like you’re not

But once I’m able to walk

I will Sodom and Gomorrah your thoughts


Don’t put that on me
When you look back on me—sorry

Whether good or bad all of it
Has always been formative—don’t get salty
Don’t put that on me
Can’t put a scratch on me—sorry

If it’s good, bad—even if it’s ugly
Don’t look back—don’t get salty



My head is as heavy as lead is

The threat is as real as you let it be

Never repent never again never a third time please

My pleasures my pains my words fly free


The church put a curse on my third eye chi
A curse to subvert every word I mean
I flirt with the vermin in the sermon each week

Conferring with a permanent disease

I’m a sad little God
And you’re a wack little fraud
Act like you’re not

But once I’m able to walk

I will Sodom and Gomorrah your thoughts



Don’t put that on me
When you look back on me—sorry

Whether good or bad all of it
Has always been formative—don’t get salty
Don’t put that on me

Can’t put a scratch on me—sorry

If it’s good, bad—even if it’s ugly
Don’t look back—don’t get salty

Don’t get salty
I don’t falter

You can’t stop me
I’m walking on water
I’m on fire
Walking on air

No lie 
I don’t care


Don’t put that on me

When you look back on me—sorry

Whether good or bad all of it
Has always been formative—don’t get salty
Don’t put that on me

Can’t put a scratch on me—sorry

If it’s good, bad—even if it’s ugly
Don’t look back—don’t get salty
