Fo Chief & Kontrast - House Of Cards lyrics

(Kontrast) Lock it down, just to hold me over But don't talk too loud, cause you might blow me over When the diamond glamour's strong And the spade digs the grave But the club hammers on Still my heart's here to stay Let's see you stack up when your chips fall When your thick walls get ripped by brick balls Grip all your pitfalls When the sh** stalls and your spit draws Thick coughs, get lost, hit fog See where the tick crawls in the sh** stalls in the strip malls? You forget all the tricks fit to break it off Shake it off.. Forgot I had a smarter bluff: Laid my cards when the odds weren't enough So every sweet syllable becomes a bleak miracle They reachin' out to touch but never claim that they're feeling you Now I've come between the two: Fame and the allegiance Or the dame and the bereavement But I say I need to see it through Seems advice is a device (de-vice) Just to advise, add a vice to my life Now I spite trife Then I choke time Stop still night and day But a broke clock is still right twice a day CHORUS x2 If I could take the day with me Then I would make you say you'd see I should take it patiently Cause now I can hear how the caged bird sings (Fo Chief) It's a beautiful day, I wake up every morning With the gloom on my face, knowing that you is on a Different part of my page, I think you kinked my armor As far as me, I'm in pain, not what the doctor ordered It's funny, how one decision can change everything A second you have 'em, the next they onto heavens' wing I dunno what happened, imagine all the worst of things I hope they find a path to peace, ain't no more worrying I stare off to the moon venting my pain astray It's like when I need it now it's always a day away Life twists, and it turns and it hurts, bra Swearin' it's workin' against ya just to murk ya Damn And then you take a deep breath Re-evaluating on what you think's best Yo I'm tired of waitin' so I'mma eat next So I gotta dig deepest to reach my complete depth BRIDGE (A.V.I.U.S of Prime Element) Spend so much time tryna succeed Pickin' up what's left under siege Bendin' walls just tryna believe Still wishin' on a dream while the caged bird sings Spend a lifetime tryna succeed To watch it all fall apart at the seams Cashin' in now, tryna believe Still wishin' on a dream while the caged bird sings (Spoke-In-Wordz) All my life I been known as a bad guy I walk around with a smile so I don't give off a bad vibe But underneath this smile is pain A sad face pissed at the game Cause these fake "jacks" are lame With no "heart" Callin' themselves "kings," Better hope it rains, cause this is what hell brings Risin' like a phoenix out of the flames into a Dark Knight What's your next move? I'm steps ahead of you, bet it's a hard life... Shake my hand friend, join me Feel the "joy of my buzz," you can't avoid me....I'm hot With a sadistic sense of humor Spit sick, the ruler Rip sh**, and go ballistic A villain on the mic Crook of my city is the rumor k** 'em every night Don't let this grin fool ya I'm 'bout to set it off and take this city with me It's up to you to save it, but the situation's frisky Come get me CHORUS x4 If I could take the day with me Then I would make you say you'd see I should take it patiently Cause now I can hear how the caged bird sings
