lyrics

Snare drum flare gun, spare none of these scarabs/
Its the mantis, certain as a tariff, death's heir apparent/
Parrot feathers distract from the mimicry, it sickens me/
Victory cost limbs of me, the fickle lead to misery/
Never let 'em in, the remnants of the past are on my tracks
Liver getting sick, depressants didn't last enough to pass
All trials, sundials, way of ancient thinking
Skating rinks, I'm slicing blizzards up, my place is freezing
Never stay in place, pacing like a tv plotline
Dollar signs in site I'm just afraid that I ain't got time
Scholar slime I write, with the snot in my ink blots
Getting o's added or reduced like a redox

Hook:
Reaction, made a thousand, now my paycheck in binary
All the prices scary, but the Nike frees I'm wearing
Working all these hours on the clock like I'm a watchman
Ramesses 2, you candied fruit, watch out, proceed with caution

Verse 2:
Mantissimo heat do si dos my stoner oath to smoke daily
I rock the boat like cruise, your crew say there wont be more smooth sailing
I'm faded, ask Vador, veins of gold, top pick, acts of valor
I'm virtuous, vertigo, the way I shake up the tower
The mind got some power available you ain't tapped in the circuit
This grittiest grid, you corny like grits, beginning my verses
While grinning, this vivid, verdant, guap is stuck in my vision
You lost your grip, I made it viable to vocalize sickness
While simultaneously studying, a bruin, I'm living
At the school you probably hope in 10 more years that your kids in
I'm brewing like witches, or Miles Davis, the truth is vile
Like a serum and solution, this alcohol got me wild/
