Evil Ebenezer - Trip The Wire lyrics

[Verse 1] Everyday I tell myself I'mma make it work Talking to God but I don't pray in church I'm trying to do my best, but still I make it worse Calling me an a**hole, don't she have a way with words? Problem is, I'm probably the problem There's not a part of me that's possibly ballin' So outta touch with everything it's appallin' Always put another wall around me like I'm stallin' Who the f**s callin'? Getting followed by mall cops Tryna cop a new linted, cover up this bald spot So I be sipping Dom P. when the bomb drops Next day, tryna sell my teeth at the pawn shop Life's twisted, so I paint grim pictures The smoke swishes with my boys on the benches Potent mixtures under streetlights, we sip licks Drinking in silence, no-one ever says sh** [Hook] All the flashing lights on fire The city burns and shines so bright Watch your step, don't trip the wire Close your eyes and say goodnight (yeah) somethings gotta give Look around you, everybody's sick Lost in the night, lying to the pigs Caught in the lights, trying not to slip [Verse 1] Away in the hills, he ran with his treasure Some gold in his boot, some blood on his sweater I used to be like you, thought I'd be young forever Now I'm old and bitter, like old man winter Always smells of urine, my pistol speaks German Welcome to my sermon, piff burnin', brick earnin' In my sunday best, looking like a mortician Mama wishing, could have been more Christian (yeah) my uncle's cancer in his belly Doctor said it was from talking on his celly He said after supper that theres something he's got to tell me He leaned over and whispered in my ear, [whisper]"they're gonna k** me" I talk about it in my songs to get it out of me It's my therapy, escape from this reality Every night after the show its a normality I ride that white horse into battle, no calvary [Hook]
