The first track on Marc’s sophomore album, The Scrumple King.
Marc’s tired of doing things the right way. Being patient isn’t going to put money in his bank account or remove his pain. He’s realizing he’s got nothing to lose. If he didn’t have such a bright future, he might just come unglued and li...
[Hook]
I been trippin' rippin' durban sippin' bourbon bitch I'm swervin what it do
‘hind this curtain burnt out burdened can't be certain but I may have lost a screw
Better listen when they tell you, don't fuck with him he got nothing to lose
Ain't well and so no telling what the hell I might be liable to do
[Verse 1]
Self-exiled to my cage
I swear my mind ain't been right since my momma passed away, yeah yeah
Could not tell you what today is
I flip between indifferent and indignant in a daze, yeah yeah
Try not do too much thinking
Because I’m just one li'l nudge away from going off the deep end, yeah yeah yeah
I’m like one li'l step away
Pick up tomorrows paper my mugshot on the front page, yeah yeah
Pain 'splayed on the pages I'm painting with cadence
I'm paving the way to be Peyton the greatest
While slaving away with no pay and no wages
My banking check savings is laden with statements I'm late on my payments
That say that it pays to be patient, don't say shit, I've patiently waited
With blatant frustration, the same conversations
Insatiable cravings have made me sensational
Maven of cadence, amazing with phrases
Get praise from all races but basically racing my face as it ages
I lay with my face down, I'm faced with my daemons
I can't shake my momma's face in the late stages
I'm chasing the same shit been chasing for ages
The sages would say that my brain has forsaken me drained of my saneness
[Hook]
I been trippin' rippin' durban sippin' bourbon bitch I'm swervin what it do
‘hind this curtain burnt out burdened can't be certain but I may have lost a screw
Better listen when they tell you, don't fuck with him he got nothing to lose
Ain't well and so no telling what the hell I might be liable to do
[Verse 2]
I may just go rob me a bank
I may just go ghost to a coast or the mountains and flush all this shit down the drain
I may just go hunt down mufuckas that wronged me then kill em' and cross out they name
I may just let go let myself lose control and go full fucking Sadam Hussein, yeah yeah
I’m just barely hanging on now
Look me in my face I swear you can’t tell nothing wrong now, yeah yeah yeah
But be wary when you say my name
Got nothing to lose (Got nothing to lose), but I sure got a whole lot to gain
Nothing 2 lose was written by Marc Goone.
