Houthi

Stood pooled in porch light

Cut my shadow off with a dull knife

Whispered in its ear, then sent it off into the night

Set the trap for the mice

The rats, whatever's in the pipes

Corner of ya eye, the edge of the white

That's where I live, I'm set for life

Braise the tripe, never stir the rice twice

Barely roasted pancetta on a fine dice

Your wife said, "Haram, but we already fell from quite a height"

This what happened, left to his own device

You'd be embarrassed to know the price (Wasn't much)

The bag was light, the rags was still tied tight

There was no particular gripe, I seent a dark crescendo

Stepped over some when it was my turn at the window

Backwoodz single, change on plexiglass

Yeah, that's my jingle

Careful what you ask for, you just might get it

Moms showed us where she kept our passports hidden

Careful what you ask for, you might just get it

Better yet, he keep a couple passports wit' him

Told my ex-wife where I stashed it, just in case

She paused, then she said, "Okay"

Couldn't think of much else to say, a labyrinth is not a maze

That's okay but that's not the haze

J.D. Salinger, just stay away

Miss Havishim at the drapes

Naked to the waist, aged like grapes

Gutterin' candles, throw shade while we ate

All you heard was knife and fork on the plate

Grainy home movies of him home rollin' doobies

Pagliacci, how they piled in the fuckin' hoopty

Loopy smile, I ran through the town like Houthi

Wave cap under the kufi, the tea was loose leaf

Listen, it's all news to me, I'm new in these parts

Pardon to God, I'm just visitin' my niece

Somewhere in the buildin', someone, somewhere makin' beats Muffle

Cover the mouths of children where you hear the beast

Shuffle to another door, somethin' scuttled along the floor

Belt buckle whip you raw, stood up all night

Every plan had a floor

Pried every board from the floor

Pride before fall but he fell short

Both hands wrapped in gauze, stole five from God, your Lord

And I'm just wonderin' what she was thinkin' when she paused

What she was thinkin' when she paused

Careful what you ask for, you just might get it

Moms showed us where she kept our passports hidden

Careful what you ask for (Ask for, ask for)
