Bad Pollen (Feat. Billy Woods)

Bad pilot waiting on money, thinking of murder
Eating darkness since before I could remember
Weakened, still tempted, hand hidden greasy
Gods in their need for validation like tender humans
I squeeze my children's hand and walk hard against the wind
Sevenfold vengeance, it can never end
Niggas die for less, the more I fall, the less I pray
It's not this, but that, for what's in the way
I bought a trunk full of tiny violins for bloodletting
I can play one on each finger for every seven bodies
Godless, world scarlet, they think but won't say me thankful
It's a sacrifice, not a homi', earthly grievance
My cup is never full, insatiable claws
Pullin' from a poorly rolled spliff, it's mine and it's hitting
Weather balloon floating, horizons distance
I wake up and thrust inside my missus
Two fistfuls of hair, my face buried
Married to the game before September's child
Death may smile, stretched linen high inside crystal vials
As for me and my house, we can show the counts like we fragiles
I'ma ask you now

Where in the life?
Look in the fire
Lick before you bite
So I know it's coming
Where in the life?
Look in the fire
Lick before you bite
So I know it's coming

I tried, I really did, I left the flesh behind
Locked the doors, even when I was out, I was inside
Let go of ambition and pride, I'm no prize
I was just looking for a place to hide like a sick animal, but
We survived, sent white men to collect my mechanicals
White men sent me to the stage, perform mechanically
I can't throw off this malaise, count the days
Towards what? I don't know, but I know I'm not afraid
You gotta keep the devil way down in the hole
It take two men to dig a grave, but I do dirt on the lonely
If you'll allow me to paraphrase
Buddy Holly on the plane, I'm focused on the next gig
It's a weight on my chest, I waited for the message
Made it past the beta test, Victor let his monster live
Don't bother asking, I gave everything I had to give
This is planned obsolescence, told the pigs I asked a question
("Don't preach! Let me go!") Bodies wash up on the beach
They squat waiting for the drugs, floated on the beat
Cabin pressure was just enough
Crazy if you think you crazier than us
Crazy if you think you crazier than us

Where in the life?
Look in the fire
Lick before you bite
So I know it's coming
Where in the life?
Look in the fire
Lick before you bite
So I know it's coming
So I know it's coming
So I know it's coming
