B-Real - Handshakes With Snakes lyrics

[Hook: Maria Grazia] I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you [Verse 1: Apathy] Let 'em know I'm going down to Mexico To watch God and The Devil arm wrestle for my soul With a b**h from San Diego, driving a Winnebago High on a little llello, dying to get some Pesos And I ain't one for fiction, or much for superstition But I'm way out of my guardian angel's jurisdiction The sun goes west till it's swallowed by the mountains To the sh**ty city full of shady lawyers and accountants Where everybody is looking for something, they're on a mission Like s** with three women and real cheap prescriptions Rattlesnake attitude, weapon to the fullest They always got guns, but never enough bullets The bottle runs dry, sweat pouring from my head, playing Portishead Crack another portion for the dead Bought a candy skull figure with a porcelain head Praying to the porcelain god as I'm puking up red [Hook: Maria Grazia] I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you [Verse 2: Sick Jacken] So what that I'm cold-blooded Old gutter mental' shows more now cause I'm so budded With snow covered nose holes, blizzard it's no summer Acts as a soul-number, k** my pain Ima talk my slang, booze out Caine I ain't looking for the answers I just dos my thing Lock handshakes with snakes in a vein Paced and I aim, brace for the bang And now I'm in a place for the strange Everything's a blur, every word is slurred Every movement swerved and curved, by dope scored on the curb Loc smoked on the herb and hit a high I've been stuck for a minute like this whole life has pa**ed me by That's why I never know what I'm looking for Every time I take a trip to the liquor store Still trying to take it slow Better lie low on this runaway train with no aim and a claim on my soul [Hook: Maria Grazia] I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you [Verse 3: B-Real] I'm seeing sh** sorta distorted, I'm transported And short of a quarter, a man sorely deported No peace of mind, recorded this piece so blind Dreaming of easier times, conflicted in losing my grind Stepping away to ?fade? and debating if It's worth the waiting on something to call to me While this darkness pursues me, I'm woozy And light headed, this is something I dreaded, affected by the pain deaded with medication, I said it I'm getting ready for a deadly medley ahead The street is my canvas and I paint it with red Snake bitten from handshakes and bad breaks When man makes mistakes for his sake in his take, and this snake... Gets his f**ing head cut off One swing and one ding, you know I will never shut off My vengeance eternal, my heart the inferno But the buck is my shadow, check it now, yeah these words are my journal [Hook: Maria Grazia] I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you I close my eyes and I deny Drift off beneath the desert sky Until my soul finds you
