[Hook 1] On and on and on down the line You got ‘em strung on a vine but you're living a lie I said on and on and on down the line You got ‘em strung on a vine but you're living a lie Still I'm [Sims] Looking for a sign of a pulse Sit back until the bridges collapse and watch ‘em play fault They plot it all out Get the story holding water but forgot about the bottom dropping out So don't come running ‘round here when your sky falls What goes round comes back round One two three Every day same waltz [Mike Mictlan] One two And if that soft shoe fits dance til the stage falls With your lies in the background Truth in the forefront Two-step to the safe house Sweat when the storm comes But we don't do that step no more God bless the dead and arrested war [Hook 2] You sowed it so it fits you And you know how low it get's you But you sowed it so it fits you No matter what you do It comes back to you [Mike Mictlan] And you know Bamf is ready Yeah, that's a given The ba*tard's in me City slicker slip through the cracks of your city I won't sell my dreams I keep the livestock fed Clip the leaves before they turn and burn the field when the crop's dead Plant feet Chop heads To the vocal cord You are not the tale-teller This is not folklore The Shape of Rap to Come resembles an open door We're wondering what the rest of the country had closed for [Sims] I say that to say this You can act innocent Fill your gla** to the brim With your back to the wind But sooner or later its going to catch up It all adds up Breaks the scales You don't match up Parasite-like feeding off the others Then fighting for your life to keep what you stole You hold yourself as the self-keystone, huh? It's a one-way road Everybody pays what they owe [Hook 2] [Hook 1]
