L.A Skylights Lyrics
[Verse 1:ForestPunk]
Hungry cluttered with Stress, Economic guns and butter your bread
Roast these pigs till these stupid muthafuckers is dead
Mobsters and sleaze balls, vultures and villians creep
Honor and street brawls, soldiers who kill to eat
Find strength in migraines pulsin' and killin' me
Brave but my stomach pains vulnerability
Is real and steady, plus I'm feelin' heavy from the beta blockers
Niggas kill for pennies, I'd rather slay the coppers
If I had cash in pocket still my noggins like fuck it
I'll be blastin' a rocket like sputnik
Authority act like it can't ever get harmed
Apocalypse is in my grasp my geddon is armed
But who am I kidding? I ain't got a clip in my hand
Just a promise to my momma I would give her some land
To my sister and my lady too, so give it and scram
I'm in a holocaust with a Schindler's List of demands
Niggas wish for a chance, givin' in, gettin' only pissed
Feeling tricked by the Ridalin and Nickleodeon
Fluoride, war, lies, thorazine and zany drugs
Sick minded monster, quarantine your cranium
Hey teacher said your bored of me just making fun
Ain't no choice ya see, now your forcing me to aim these guns
Wasteland empty for acres
Made plans to try to make his ends meet their maker
Hungry cluttered with Stress, Economic guns and butter your bread
Roast these pigs till these stupid muthafuckers is dead
Mobsters and sleaze balls, vultures and villians creep
Honor and street brawls, soldiers who kill to eat
Find strength in migraines pulsin' and killin' me
Brave but my stomach pains vulnerability
Is real and steady, plus I'm feelin' heavy from the beta blockers
Niggas kill for pennies, I'd rather slay the coppers
If I had cash in pocket still my noggins like fuck it
I'll be blastin' a rocket like sputnik
Authority act like it can't ever get harmed
Apocalypse is in my grasp my geddon is armed
But who am I kidding? I ain't got a clip in my hand
Just a promise to my momma I would give her some land
To my sister and my lady too, so give it and scram
I'm in a holocaust with a Schindler's List of demands
Niggas wish for a chance, givin' in, gettin' only pissed
Feeling tricked by the Ridalin and Nickleodeon
Fluoride, war, lies, thorazine and zany drugs
Sick minded monster, quarantine your cranium
Hey teacher said your bored of me just making fun
Ain't no choice ya see, now your forcing me to aim these guns
Wasteland empty for acres
Made plans to try to make his ends meet their maker
[Chorus:ForestPunk}
One for the money, two for the show
Three for the monkey a ha ready to go so
We livin' under L.A Skylights
We just try to get high and get by right? X2
[Verse 2:ForestPunk]
Game of cat and mouse turns sickly and nasty
When these Tom and Jerries turn to itchy and scratchies
Mice and men in a trap, greedy for the chains
So we trying to leave the lab, pinky and the brain
Yes sire, see my head's tired
Stuart little fighting an empire of cheshire
Cats through the looking glass, wonderland's waitin'
Get there and realize it's another plantation
Got a complex cuz' you don't understand basics
See your freedom there? fuck it man, take it
I guess nonconformist is the nastiest epithet
Orifice be fillin' with that caffeine, stress and debt
Shovel shit, fucken' live for fortune
Governmental corporate supplement endorsements
Try to cheat the game you in trouble nigga forfeit
My amp says fight! hear the rumblin' distortion?
Chorus x2
One for the money, two for the show
Three for the monkey a ha ready to go so
We livin' under L.A Skylights
We just try to get high and get by right? X2
[Verse 2:ForestPunk]

Stuart little fighting an empire of cheshire
Cats through the looking glass, wonderland's waitin'

Try to cheat the game you in trouble nigga forfeit
My amp says fight! hear the rumblin' distortion?
Chorus x2
