ICETEP - Kev's Dead lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm this close to d**h and I can't even see straight Asked the angel for a refund, only got a rebate Reincarnation is the replay, not about the "he-say, she-say" I'm writing with no delay, I'm jazzing with my man leae He's seeing what the beat say Say, what the hell does Kev Say? Rapping through the red tape, not open for debate See I don't f** with meat tapes, I just write the real sh** Open up my brain to find the worms inside the skull crate Don't know who I am yet, flying on the Lamb's Bread Smoke envelopes co*kpit, hope that I don't crash yet Bourbon bottle falling out my palm like grip is damaged Running from my past like heart's pumping battery acid Raven on my shoulder like music's the only madness And it's staring at me, following movement like it's a habit And damn it, when it comes to my past I can only cram it down my throat While I confuse epitaphs for ballads [Pre-Hook] If at first you don't succeed, try try again Step up to this life and die again Stealing lines cause it's already been said better than I can Hoping to find salvation with a mic in hand, it's like [Hook] d**h is only the beginning Kev's dead, baby (x3) Life's only fair if you don't exist Kev's dead, baby (x3) (x2) [Verse 2] Escaped from the D and I dropped the "-en" Call me Kev, short-hand is a means to an end Tried to make amends but the text never sent Stopped Worrying and Loved the Circle but I'm still on edge Sleeping on razor blades, crashing up through the skylight Playing clubs while I'm secretly hating the night life My blood is more Mai Tai than it's ever been in my life I don't breathe air, I breathe smoke and don't exercise 86'd myself 'cause my inner child was lifeless Held a funeral for past self, went way past self-righteous Always told myself, "this grave'll be my dynasty" Finally find inside of me, dying to feel the primacy Fire ignite the light in me, siren to sign the rivalry I never thought I'd bury the little one that's inside of me I'm getting trapped in the page that I'm buried beneath So I guess it's time to say goodbye to me [Pre-Hook] If at first you don't succeed, try try again Step up to this life and die again Stealing lines cause it's already been said better than I can Hoping to find salvation with a mic in hand, it's like [Hook] d**h is only the beginning Kev's dead, baby (x3) Life's only fair if you don't exist Kev's dead, baby (x3) (x2) [Verse 3] Be honest with me doctor, give it to me straight Do I need to sign the page, do not resuscitate? It's like I woke up after a nap in the Lazarus Pit As I fathom and sit, wrapped in the static that I emit I am sadly equipped to deal with all the sand that is spit From the maw of my own reflection, now I'm drowning in sh** Fisticuffs with my former self, nursing a fat lip And a time out just doesn't work anymore It's like I'm on the fence but I can't help but get offensive Learning the hard way that bad intentions lead to hard lessons Giving a kiss to fate's smoldering lips Even the silver tongued demon has his Freudian slips Surviving mention to mention like "life's hardly a b**h" Taking shots of absinthe, I crash the party and dip I don't need a map, willingly get lost in the mix So I'll swim in the River Styx until it's time to quit [Pre-Hook] You are cordially invited to the d**h of Keven White I'll hang myself on stage and it'll be the best act of the night (x2) [Hook] d**h is only the beginning Kev's dead, baby (x3) Life's only fair if you don't exist Kev's dead, baby (x3) (x2)
