Cold Duck Complex - Platinum lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] God loves you America Ain't that a beautiful thing Just the kinda blind faith That makes me want to sing Oh say can you see By the dawn's early light Humanity and the enemies You're trying to fight It's your lovesick homie The one-trick pony Trying to cash a check For what that drunk b**h owe me Want to run sh** show me Till then don't ask what I think And get your lazy a** back to your drink The ship's sinking If you're thinking you could trun back now I got some magic beans buddy What you want for that cow? Gee willikers, k**ing it With polite cliches It's like I got nothing to write these days So I kiss my little nihilistic nightmare And head up to bed While visions of Birmingham dance in my head It's all been said, done, written Usurped copied and sampled The common ground's trampled Sleep tight, next to Your mother nature's rapists And the late night dark ranks And all the hateful racists In the great white shark tank Thanks anyway, I think I'll take the risk Cause whatever doesn't k** me Probably makes me sick [Hook] They went platinum I went cold I'm a grind it to the diamond And then call it rock and roll Lost control of a vessel I love to watch her capsize Womb to the tomb to the food For the black flies They went platinum I went cold I'm a grind it to the diamond And then call it rock and roll Lost control of a vessel I love to watch her capsize Womb to the tomb to the food For the black flies [Verse 2] Drop in the bucket bad lovers Loose change, living on a dollar bill budget The self-employed cynic spittin' sicker than grace 'Bout as subtle as a kick in the face I did it just for the taste Of the hand that's feeding me forced fables Living on the edge of a state They call stable A bad motherf**er holding rap for ransom In a pickup truck, bumping a reener rock anthem A teenie-bop tantrum my second hand emotions All covered in concealer and banana hand lotion Damn it man, you're smoking Can't blame a man for hoping To try to get the fly on them pajama pants open So consider me this Consider me that Consider me easy listening Consider me rap Consider me wack if it suits your needs But do believe, you better get used to me See [Hook] They went platinum I went cold I'm a grind it to a diamond And then call it rock and roll Lost control of a vessel I love to watch her capsize Womb to the tomb to the food For the black flies They went platinum I went cold I'm a grind it to the diamond And then call it rock and roll Lost control of a vessel I love to watch her capsize Womb to the tomb to the food For the black flies From the womb to the Tomb to the From the womb to the Tomb to the Come on A-come on A-come on [Outro]
