Bitterness

lyrics

Here we go again another day in the winery
Sour grapes, bathing ape, drunk monkey shinery
Lost on the way to who we are in who we tryna be
Blinded by the absinthe, trapped in the dynasty

Climbing that social ladder, smoke and bad actors
Locomotive shady but the engine’s going faster
Gambling with Destiny wishing that our luck lasted
Lost on the high seas like a flying dutchmaster

I struggle through the sludge tryna understand my purpose
Got mud in my skull and sand in my circuits
And the drugs wore off so I’m getting nervous
So I’ma pull the plug if none of ya’ll know how to work it

There’s dirt in every verdict, blood on every palm
Greed in every handshake, pain in every soul
I’ve seen a lot of smiles but I don’t believe em all
And it’s too bad, now the fad’s spun out of control!

Peter piper picked a pack of cigarettes
A fifth of jack, a stack of porno mags, some aspirin capsules
And a nickel bag
Mother Mary suffered barely covered all her student loans
Single parent, grin and bear it, woke up with a withered soul
Little Boy Blue could move a kilo to his people in a couple days
Til someone blew his horn, now he’s locked away
Little Bo Peep walked the streets to cop her sweets and cream
But the offers ceased from the lost sheep she was counting on to dream.

I push a fat whip Full of fat kids
Brass knuckle flashing ready to crack ribs
Stacking the chips. Master magic tricks like
Digging apostles out of every last ditch. That’s it

We’ve had it up to the chandeliers
With the propaganda and the random fear
We ain’t buying into the labels and the brands of gear
Sick of standing in the rear with our cans of beer

The message is clear - walk on broken glass
Getting open, holding hot coal in our hands
It’s our world and we own where we stand
Throwing stones at the sun just to show that we can

We’re home! Ain’t talking about four walls and a ceiling
I’m talking about breathing easy, releasing the demons
We’re caught in the belly of the beast being eaten
Til we break the food chain. It’s time to get even.
