“Flies” was released as the 3rd single in the build up to the release of Year of the Snitch, after “Streaky” and Black Paint.
On an electronic soundscape, MC Ride contemplates about death and morbid fantasies, including the wish for flies to feast on his body.
[Chorus]
Should the opportunity arise, vomit me flies
Flies vomit me, together’s unwise, sever all ties
Should the opportunity arise, vomit me flies
Flies vomit me, vomit green eyes
[Verse 1]
Half-lidded coolers, half lies as cures
Warm blanket statement, Denver air terminal patient
Rubberized, skin rubberized
For your entertainment, got two cents save it
Dozing at the helm, road paved with vagrants
Closed casket make up, lavish euthanasia
Necro Winnebago, worship on shroom in safe zones
Hilo loose brown recluse, murdered out rainbows
[Chorus]
Should the opportunity arise, vomit me flies
Flies vomit me, together’s unwise, sever all ties
Should the opportunity arise, vomit me flies
Flies vomit me, vomit green eyes
[Verse 2]
Cyanide protocol, capsule wipe too involved
Can’t hear answers I, try for wait signal my
Wait for my signal try, too late to whisper why
Besides don’t waste this fry, had to take it all at once
As yet unknown, as yet as fuck, back in the town
Now what, know what, no rush
So what, what now, fuck now
[Bridge]
Blackish green spirits of Kraków (Reptilism)
Only fog I’ve felt with features
Exception complexion of silver drinkers
Oppressive dense fog with modest demeanor
[Chorus]
Should the opportunity arise, vomit me flies
Flies vomit me, together’s unwise, sever all ties
Should the opportunity arise, vomit me flies
Flies vomit me, vomit green eyes
[Outro]
Demeanor, d-d-dark skills, d-d-dark skills
(Raise the dead, raise the dead, shit is mine, player-hatin' whore
Serpent tongue, serpent tongue, serpent tongue
Serpent tongue, serpent tongue, serpent tongue)
