Young Fathers - LOW lyrics

[Hook 1] Mmm, did I see you planting seeds in the forest? Is it for the green of the dollars? Now don't go telling me it's for the needs of the poorest Now Imma take a sh** in your palace I just want to make life easy on your eyes You just want to ease me with your lies [Verse 1] Last from the convoy playing with the old toys Instant tomorrows, handcrafted sorrows All star bravery, imaginary jargon Crypted by business, I'll see you in hell Sipping on a quick fix, elasticated dimwit s**ing on a thumb, marching to an old hit Tiger in an envelope, paper boy puppet rope Scratchings on a blank tape, stealth like utopia Marriage in a gas mask, little girl ,black clad Drugs for the lawyer cause we appreciate Cut to the chase, twelve grand in the case Testing out the cannons, the evidence is damning [Bridge] You lied to me, me, me You lied to me, me, me You lied to me, me, me You lied to me, me, me [Hook 2] TV news said keep you head above water My willingness choked in my sleep Tell-tale shoes won't get me home in an hour The further I go I could freeze [Verse 2] The shine is truly faded, relieved of his duties Behind the veil is fury Inadmittent optimist, undercover pessimist Baby showered in my father's sins but I was born to be the better part of him That was always on the checklist Take my humanity, end up like a mannequin Thinking like a charlatan was easy, now it's challenging So take my humanity, end up like a mannequin Thinking like a charlatan was easy, now it's challenging [Outro] Time to get going, city's getting low Time to get going, city's getting low Time to get going, city's getting low Time to get going, city's getting low (You lied to me, me, me) City's getting low (You lied to me, me, me) City's getting low (You lied to me, me, me) City's getting low (You lied to me, me, me) City's getting low
