Muddy Water

[Verse: Coal Cash]
“Life ain’t fair”—I hope they etch it on my epitaph
The nights we bear, coping methods of the present path
Stress amassed as we folly through the days of toil
‘Til death we pass in a volley to a grave of soil
A loyal soul perfect mold for the stepping stone
For royal gold-surfaced roads that’ll get them home
Flesh and bone, we are spirits of unruly zeal
Quest to roam, but our fear was clicking ruby heels
A movie reel, but The Wizard wasn’t faking jax
I truly feel that his visit made The Matrix crack
Faith ain’t fact—it’s belief when you think you’re wrong
Grace came back in relief just to sing along
We bring a song from our lips, praise the Most High
The King is strong in His grip, He is close by
The ghost cry, retribution for the blood we spill
And most die in execution, for a grudge, we kill
Above it, build gardens of stone to forget it not
Love is filling starving homes instead of letting rot
They said I got emotion problems, they don’t care to crutch
I said I got emotion problems ‘cause I care too much
Beware of trust when a weasel brags of useless art
I swear it’s rough when your people stab you through the heart
I drew the marks that they stenciled and then said was theirs
The foolish part: I’m influential and I led ‘em there
Instead of care, we let despair fuel the apathy
Was never there but aware of rules that had to be
Don’t ask of me what you ain’t prepared to do yourself
That blasphemy’s the same snare that make you food for hell
So who can tell where to take me for deliverance?
Humans rebel, swear there’s safety in their ignorance
Religion prints many rules, so which book is right?
My vision winced when these fools say they look for light
A crooked life, I got horns with a smoking ring
I took to flight like a rock born with broken wings
I hope it stings when I fall flat on my façade
Float or sink, I’m all packed for the bon voyage
Abscond or dodge, camouflaging, I don’t give a fuck
Beyond triage, self-sabotage, prone to giving up
It isn’t luck, she ain’t a lady, she’s my little whore
My wisdom’s nuts, complete crazy’s breed of civil war
The middle’s poor, you got zeroes scoring home earning
I fiddle cords like I’m Nero during Rome’s burning
Confirm learning is insanity reviewed by shrinks
A firm serving of calamity in booze I drink
The Jews are linked. I don’t fear if they don’t like Goy
And who would think 2Pac’s spirit’s in a white boy?
I’m white noise, I’m like Freud, rape your intellect
A wide void, I fry droids, break the internet
Make a vinaigrette of God’s wrath for salad-tossers
Snake dinner guest, I simmer death—call me “Palate-Torcher”
Malice-walker of Styx tied where the boats are bound
Ballot-coffers are fixed—gotta realize that your votes don’t count
Copious amount of viral sounds, I got the title crown
Opiates abound, and survival drowns—watch it spiral down
Chiral to how I’m wound, I surround myself with barriers
Primal to chow down, I’m a hound that’s nefarious
Hilarious to grudge. As above, so below
Let’s marry it as mud. If it was love, we’ll never know

[Outro: Coal Cash]
There’s
Snow on the mountain, rivers running through the earth and stone
Flow from the fountain ‘til I’m drowning in this hurt alone
Oh no you don’t, won’t let them letters ever say the words
I know you know, and I know it ain’t made to work
I gave the thirst of dirt, water for the mud and rock
I’m locked to earth, and it hurts ‘cause she loves me not
Feel like I’m cursed, and what’s worse: I think I earned the pain
For what it’s worth, here’s a verse for when you yearn the rain
Smoke on the river, fire burning through the trees and brush
The wind is bitter, it delivered with a breeze of dust
Caught in a gust, make a bust, tryna work the clay
It leaves a husk, getting rushed by the birds of prey
I pray the worst has dispersed and will pass us by
Lost in the woods, can’t tell if I should laugh or cry
The mud is dry, and the sky wouldn’t feed the drought
All dreams will die, can’t deny when it’s bleeding out
