Ant - Shrapnel lyrics

[Slug] Shrapnel... I can't remember who asked me, but someone asked me How long I thought that I would be allowed atop this trash heap I didn't answer cause I'm tired of criticizing the ma**es Inspired the support the devouring of the self All the power to the people who dig potholes Placed me in a gla** case full of lost treasures and fossils Got a right to be hostile, my love is gettin' gang raped By an army full money hungry crocodiles Quantity is up, market in a flood But the party over here has never steered through so much love I'll take the laughter, but I'd rather have the women Who am I kiddin'? I'll be content with whatever I'm given Work for food, rent, s**, money, or water I don't know what else that you have to offer Your first born daughter? No need, already got her She came to the set hungry and left hot and bothered My posse's full of women, computer nerds, and thugs Much to my dismay, I'm none of the above Someday I'mma be the mack of the minute And you were so damn good I'mma have to forget it Listen to the mimic, it's almost on Drink, til ya hit me with a tall potion Think quick, how much more insult Will it take for me to break your light bulb Shrapnel... [Hook x2] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain Of course I've came to show you shrapnel [Slug] Check your mail, climb your ladder Count the pieces you've managed to gather Does it matter? What are you trying to achieve? Let go of your throat if you're dying to breathe And finally we've begun to make a little progress Ain't a single dock in this river that can stop us Lost in the mix like a feeble over dub Got me screaming at these shippin' till these people know what's up Yeah Slug's back, but his collection of hub caps Caught a buzzin' brought a notebook full of love raps Open the pipes and tuck that voice in I'mma sit on this corner and nibble on my poison Baby once in awhile I find a reason to smile But most the time it's spent deep in denial It's all make believe, I want the cake to eat But this lake's too deep, tryin' to stand on two feet Wonderin' about the thunder runnin' through this blood I try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snug Study the love, took my degree Shoved it into a bottle, chucked it into the sea Shrapnel... [Hook x2] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the cold rain Of course I've came to show you shrapnel Shrapnel... [Hook x4] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?) Of course I've came to show you shrapnel Shrapnel...(repeated to end) I am not ugly (reversed)
