Better Than Dead

Lemonade ain’t popular as it used to be
I’m hanging that “do not disturb” to get loose and free
All I got is this thirst to purge and worthless degree
Simmer down while that skillet burns, peep recipe

When shit hits the fan inflict some damage
Like a one-two punch from a Kung Fu flick
Let’s rumble
Yup, your boy shoots the gift like Robocop shoots dick

Your move, creep
If you disappeared, I wouldn’t lose sleep
Over lone wolves who prey on loose sheep
Gunning for the top of ruthless new feeds

New leaf Ebenezer Scrooge
In a goodwill fit smelling like cheap hooch
Don’t lose your head when that mantis dance the cooch

Neck in a phantom noose with no plan to loosen
Death comes in 3s like Hanson & Stooges
Get stuck like hands on that glue stick
Abandon that blueprint

These thieves over our shoulders
These meals of water and bread
They ask how we are doing
We say better than dead

We are better than
We are better than dead
We are better than
We are better than dead

These fang marks from that cobra
These bullets grazing our heads
They ask how we are doing
We say better than dead

We are better than
We are better than dead
We are better than
We are better than dead

No locals here left alive
Neighborhood pumpkin spice genocide
All the crestfallen swept to the side
Fuck your best-ofs and fuck your top fives

You don’t want to question my weird flexes
Put a worm in your ear it’s infectious
Can’t count on those who count blessings
Count doe or calculate wreckage

You will respect my different strokes
Same personality different cult
Technical difficulties because technically I’m difficult

Catapult curse, rap pariah
Edison in his Black Maria
Voodoo’s better than Black Messiah
Soaked in gas, please light my fire

We’re forced to drag this bolder
From this here chain on our leg
They ask how we are doing
We say better than dead

We are better than
We are better than dead
We are better than
We are better than dead

We lean into these crutches
We leak, bandaging heads
They ask how we are doing
We say better than dead

We are better than
We are better than dead
We are better than
We are better than dead
