Persephone Lyrics

I'm way past gone
Spittin on the asphalt
Tryna have a laugh, thought
I'm just another asshole
You beg for broader bankrolls
Bootleggers bought a blindfold
Ninefold your flow, but you don't get it so I rhyme slow

The scene I set is scary
Now you been forgetting, Barrie
That our streets are full of fiends
All our dreams were temporary
And barely we seen achievement
Rarely can we conceive it
It varies in our belief of missionaries and bereavement
So uncover all the secrets
To recover you a regent
I discovered my life's thesis
Love, it left me sliced in pieces
So what's a modern soul, comparin it to ancient art?
I think I gotta go, surrendered to her naked heart

I don't know why
But I stare at demon's eyes
Every single night I lie awake with no reason that I
Can understand
Does heaven have a plan for me?
If Nirvana is the promised land, then why had man began at sea?
I want the rupees
Travel 'round with groupies
I wanna make some cents, because sense can be a buoy
If you're floating out to sea, in the water see your beauty
I'm devoting this to she who thinks the author's always moody
You have no control, your persona's a role
Your brick-laden path that they made isn't gold
You're no wizard of oz, you're a lizard that coughs
Try to camouflage but your position gets lost
Ahhh - This fuckin`city's Jungle Village
I'll bury animals who treat success as a privilege
Yeah - I'll put these lions on my hit list
My iron fists and flying kicks are sure to leave no witness
Liberties are miseries, discriminately shimmering
Reality 'ain't free, that's why every mind is whimpering
And slithering... we're all cobras in a stone pit
Want the song of charm but I guess everyone's the wrong pitch
The wrong pitch... I'm swinging for air
I bet if I were badder you'd be clinging for care
I'd have you singing for years, we'd both be thinking more clear
I know you know it's the truth so why’d you sink into fear?
I get it, it's like nobody treats you right
I finally came along, the white knight Mike
But BITCH you were wrong, I'm just a black light
Makin’ the stains on your mattress now turn into your plight
But you're Persephone - how are all your thoughts ahead of me?
What is destiny? Was this really all meant to be?
How can I understand you when I lost my own identity?
You know I never planned it so why can’t we find a remedy?
Admit it, there was something to our relationship
I hope you realize that before I start hating it...
Compatriots of laziness, talkin ‘bout the aliens
The silence was my pain because I got lost in your radiance...
I don't know why
But I stare at demon's eyes
Every single night I lie awake with no reason that I
Can understand
Does heaven have a plan for me?
If Nirvana is the promised land, then why had man began at sea?
I don't know why
But I stare at demon's eyes
Every single night I lie awake with no reason that I
Can understand
Does heaven have a plan for me?
If Nirvana is the promised land, then why had man began at sea?
