Spider Hole

Holdin' my breath in the crawl space, weight taped to my body

Barbarians at the gate, Benghazi

Wait, tape ain't even out yet, how the hell they get a copy?

Survived by the grace, Grace Mugabe

Averted eyes advised passin' through the building lobby

You don't want smoke?

National Geographic negroes cookin' coke

Anthropologists watchin' negroes sell dope

A huddled coroner's corner store, jottin' notes

Hand-to-hand, much as they forefathers before

It's a good trope, trope (It's a good trope)

Fascinating stuff

Thumb and forefinger where the cobra clutch

Four million USD hoverin' over some mud huts, it's nuts

It's not the heat, it's the dust

Sour when the wind gust, crush

Wry smile, coppin' legal weed from fake hole in the wall

I don't wanna go see Nas with an orchestra at Carnegie Hall

No man of the people, I wouldn't be caught dead with most of y'all

"Don't call me again" what I shoulda said when he called

Wry smile, coppin' legal weed from fake hole in the wall

I don't want to go see Nas with an orchestra at Carnegie Hall

No man of the people, I wouldn't be caught dead with none of y'all

"Don't call me again" what I'll say when you call

It's just me in the spider hole, that's the best part

From here, the war seem really far, the mirror was a shard

No beef, I cooked the chicken in lard

Crept in your house like a thief, propped your window ajar

First time I saw them put a trap in the car, eyes wide

Felt like the internet, snipers in the minaret

Little tiny spoon for the mignonette

The job was to sit there all day and press refresh

Decline politely, proceeded to spread the blame widely

Rubber gloves, crisp lapels

Bloodshot in high society, you know his turds don't smell

To the desperate, sold spells

Confident I'd never see him again

And if so, what? You get what you paid for in the end

Yeah, she's got her own game goin' on

What does that mean?

You know what it means

You've got your own game goin' on

I've got my game

What- what's, uh, what's your game?

Everybody's got a game
