Tauromaquia was written during a bad time in KARMA xx life. The song is about how he felt, what he was going through and what he did to get out of the space he was in.
Verse 1:
Where to go?
Nowhere road
Save me though!
Don’t play me, don’t play me, don’t play me though
Emotions go low, like a rollercoaster
Then I get high, I stay rolling doja
You think it’s a game, like you playing poker
You had hearts in your hand but you went and folded
Tell me I’m wrong
And I never do right
Any word I get in
Just turned into bullfights
Now I just work on myself
Don’t worry ‘bout nobody else
There are some connections a n***a been making
But I just keep thinking that s**t gon keep ending
My head’s gon be f**ked for while, yeah I know
Guess it’s gon heal over time, but that’s slow
People keep telling me “you ain’t alone”
The liquor and drugs gon be my antidote
Chorus:
Ride round the city and think
Relationships starting to sink
Drowning in what I call water
Pain that was caused by your daughter
Ride round the city and think
I feel like I’m right on the brink
My life right now feeling like s**t
I can’t help myself but get lit
Ride round the city and think
Relationships starting to sink
Drowning in what I call water
Pain that was caused by your daughter
Ride round the city and think
I feel like I’m right on the brink
My life right now feeling like s**t
I can’t help myself but get lit
Verse 2:
Couple months after making the tape
Still a lost boy tryna find where I stay
Even worse off now, I’m wasting away
Or, that’s at least what some people say
I could give a f**k if you judging
I could give a f**k you mean nothing
Trust, I could do without the loving
All I need is hate, then I know I’m onto something
Yeah I got the crew and we flexing like we stunting
Solo that’s the way though
I could never get a license for a draco
Stacking bodies like the wall up in Mexico
Have the pretty girls walk by saying “there he go”
Like wait, “baby what you know about me?”
“Word on the street they say you always high key”
Everybody talking and that s**t excite me
You let the world control you, now tell me who is really free?
Chorus:
Ride round the city and think
Relationships starting to sink
Drowning in what I call water
Pain that was caused by your daughter
Ride round the city and think
I feel like I’m right on the brink
My life right now feeling like s**t
I can’t help myself but get lit
Ride round the city and think
Relationships starting to sink
Drowning in what I call water
Pain that was caused by your daughter
Ride round the city and think
I feel like I’m right on the brink
My life right now feeling like s**t
I can’t help myself but get lit
Outro:
I can't help myself but get lit
I can't help myself but get lit
I can't help myself but get lit
