Chalk Lyrics

[Hook]
I got cocaine, running around my brain
I got cocaine, running around my brain


[Verse 2]
Using chalk in Paradise Garage
A bar on the Lower East Side that show art
And whenever the stars come through they bogard
We treat Madonna like Mozart, Oh God
We got so large, Tony Schafrazi is digging the whole spark it was a cold start
Bags of teacher material was imperial
Got us all high we were aerial
Girls still dig it no burial

Rolled a hundred dollar bill
Ben Frank got stoned with me, what a higher thrill

Writing skills got sharp like a lions grill, I got a fire feel
These other guys are fire drills, false alarms with minor appeal
Acquired a deal to sculpt got hired for steel

Admire the will, daily rush of the fairy dust
Got my face flush, what a scary touch serious
Fab 5 Freddy, had to get me from the telly
I was passed out all over the floor like confetti
Parade got rained on
No umbrella for that brainstorm

Piece of white got my brain worn
A work of art with my frame torn
Sick as a bat but I'm Bruce Wayne calm, with a cape on
Hospital bed, I.V. in my vein long
Can't wait until this pain gone...
Chalk
[Cee-Lo Greene]
All I want is your understanding, as in the small like of affection

[George Jung]
The official toxicity limit for humans is between 1 and 1 1/2 grams of cocaine depending on body weight. I was averaging 5 grams a day maybe more. I snorted 10 grams in 10 minutes once. I guess I had a high tolerance

[Cee-Lo Greene]
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up. Don't Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up. Wake up, Wake up, Wake up

[Verse 3]
Early morning flight
Got the red eye
Looking like a jedi
Light saber
Life saver
Body not in Ny
Flight taker
Ice breaker
Rambling am I?
Disoriented...
In & outta conscious, dealing with the nonsense
No longer pompous
Obnoxious, Rambunctious
The socialites at my bedside, prayers up above
Unicorns are flying, maybe its the drugs
Crush on my nurse, lady in her scrubs
They say I got a buzz... Whaaaat?
Dedicated wall with my picture on it
Inebriated floors full of liquor on it
I ain't dead yet
I RSVP'd for the pearly gates, haven't got in yet
Neighbor in the next bed, lost his left leg
On his deathbed, he was a meth head
Chalk put me in a yolk like fresh eggs
I hope for the best meds
Drawing question marks in jet red
Jet blue
Jet black
Memory lost track
I lost track
Call back
Jupiter is hotter in the winter
When the birds gotta swim across the river to get dinner
Lost a lotta weight, I'm feeling thinner
H20 in my ex eyes, I forgive her
I've seen better days
If I past, after I die, sellebrate

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

MauSe was introduced to Chalk by one of his good friends. To me its a double entendre in the sense that he actually also drew with chalk. After frequently using chalk, MauSe then falls into a coma in his hotel room and Fab 5 Freddy finds him and takes him to hospital, in which he is terribly sick and having hallucinatory visions.
