El-P - Illy lyrics

[Metro] I write to melancholy rhythms, with the colors of pain With a chemical imbalance that can smother your brain Kinda pissed, cause I'm the player Pull the plug from your game Either that or put another burning slug in your frame Make the call, I'll break ya skull, club in the cane The tougher they came lame , the easier The media can s** on the main vein I do this for the music and love, pain, sweat, blood, rain Rhyme sh**, mud stains Dirt nap, thug gangs Purse snatch plus chain Aggravated cause you living off of bus change You don't know me, lets keep it that way f** fame, Hip-Hop turn emo in Columbus [?] The egos that I swallow, my stomach complains Me and my n***as, one in the same Open Mic battle title, that's something to claim You know not its dope shot more than once in the vein Need a fix, I got ingredients, summoning flames Spitting kerosene on everything but nothing was gained Nothing new like baby mothers and a brother was slain By ya cops, better buy a Glock Ready, aim, fire shot [Hook] Cause Ain't sh** worse than a wasted talent (Still) Life goes on without it (Still) Real n***as do something about it Smash Brothers do something about it [Camu Tao] I'm on the freeway swerving with a bottle of Henney Screaming to the sky that I'm high and about to get even With these snake n***as venom all mixed in the blood Throwing wrenches in the system, trying to f** up the trust f** cuz and his man all rappin with chicks True playes can't fold while they stacking they chips Fake n***as, they use slang They get caught up with you [?] and then they lose brains And fake n***as like loose change They fall right out of the pocket and then they lose gain They never had, never stick you n***as for petty cash Just Adapt and try to hook up a steady a** Times is hard, never use em for body guards Cause they'll come back for sure and leave your body charred I love it, when b**hes break down and cry for me I ride dirty with a Glock, take time for me My n***as gone be say this is a guide line for G's And stay true to n***as, stay glued to the street [Hook]
