[Intro: Jimmy Nice]
Now late at night all my nightmares scared of me
I know the next man breathe the same air as me
I bet my left hand he don’t see as clear as me
But still the genius and the fool both drown
[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Uh, uh
Weak ma’fuckers and they all around me, lame ma’fuckers and they all around me
Claimin’ that’s your favourite rapper from the underground, that’d be the same place that they fuckin’ found him
Rhyme tier got me climbin’ up another mountain, got the body count lookin’ like I do accountin’
Used to dig around the couch for the loose change, makin’ money make you wonder what you'd do without it, huh
In between some hardcore earners and some earnest shit
How to walk through life with no parents, had to learn that shit is real
Tell me how you gonna build when your brother in the war, got another on appeal
Father hangin’ from the roof, mama tryna pay the bills
Only paper that I’m carryin’ is scripts for the pills, no one knowin’ how it feels
[Interlude: Jimmy Nice]
I wash my face with the same hands I do my dirt
I fill the clouds with the same rain that pounds the ground, drink or drown, woof
[Skit: Earsnot & Sacer]
EARSHOT: We're just tryna like, you know, I dunno, dude, like, enjoy ourselves and not—
SACER: Lie, cheat, steal
EARSHOT: Yeah, you know, and like, at the same time
SACER: Excess, consume mega-substance
EARSHOT: Yeah, all that
[Verse 2: Tasman Keith]
Weak motherfuckers all around me, lousy, fifty in the under grip housing, jousting
Fight for the [?], then go collect bounty, if I say the words you really can’t live without me
I call the shots, you call the cops, you call the kettle black, I call the pot
Dealers sent me back with an empty stock, that’s for Kap' J to calm his clots
Blood, make order while you dread the judge
You in bed with a snake and bucks, I’m in bed with some grapes and bud, and the women I love
Black man, yellow whip in my dream-state, father passed the baton, bitch, I relay
[?] got a timestamp, I delay, kick my work from the dirt then replay
Oh Lord, help [?] when all's said and done we're still found deep
Six-ohs don’t change ways, six feet, but I still work for a seven till the casket creak, uh
[Chorus: Jimmy Nice & Tasman Keith, Jimmy nice]
Uh
Now late at night all my nightmares scared of me
I know the next man breathe the same air as me
I bet my left hand he don’t see as clear as me
But still the genius and the fool both drown in the same
Water (Same—same, same—same)
The genius and the fool both drown in the same (Same—same, same—same)
Water (Same—same, same—same)
The genius and the fool both drown, woof
