Dead Zone

(album: VOIR DIRE - 2023)

Flirting with death, curving, I watch him work
Purging I wept
Stepped off, I deserted you
Left when I was wordless
Murky water immersion
I can't be out of service yet

Light it up like a Sherm-head said
The Earth spin, count up tour bread on bunkbeds
'Nuff said
Have the pull-out like a flatbed, get it cracking like cueballs
Plastered on the wall like a fathead in a pool hall
Mastiff, the dog really that big
Action, true story, they all caption
Newfound glory, who brought the bands in
Round of applauses
When that ass get to going, throw a tantrum
Blew a bag on it because I had to
Was coming out my hand, and it's pouring like a monsoon
This chune for the bad bitches
Only play this jam for your mom dukes
And sister for me in the carpool
It's true, I'm tryna capture the moment that I had drums on it like popcorn, was a bad dude
Hit a few extra laps 'cause I wanna act a ass like POTUS blue notes, not standards
New hunnid glues
I see you doing the dances, gave you two other chances
You do the math
Big-belly Buddha laughing at yo stupid ass
Jumping Jehoshaphat leaping through the loop of death
Don't lose your head, either don't snooze or rest
We up like fingers, way above the rim
Full-length feature films what we up against
You know the drill, keep it real, they gon' fuck with it
You lost appeal when you got in touch with me
I played the field, it was humbling
Soil till, blood on the leaves
Stomach of the Beast
We live from it, all of us huddle over heat
The fire starters, they started five-hunnid a O-Z
My eyes flutter, they might jump ya
All I know is I'm sky-walking offa the scene with my money
Dice tumbled in threes, double or nothing like fuck it, I guess we gon' see

Flirting with death, curving, I watch him work
Purged and I wept
Stepped off, deserted you
Left when I was wordless
Murky water immersion
I can't be out of service yet
I'm flirting with death, curving, I'm watching him work
Purged and I wept
Stepped off, deserted you
Left when I was wordless
Murky water immersion
I can't be out of service yet

Was on your channel, yeah
Sometimes I, sometimes he be showing old, whatchu call it, old footage?
Actually, which is the message you want to give to transmit to your public, to your listeners?
Um, I always feel that even though one is an artist, uh, that we are first human beings
And we live in the same world as any other person
So that, uh, we as artists should never close our eyes to what is happening around us
And, uh, the songs that I sing are just about my everyday life
And, uh, the things I say are those things that have affected my life
