Lazerbeak - Kid Gloves lyrics
[Verse 1: Mictlan] I don't fight just to bleed (I won't) I wear my stripes on my sleeve And keep my heart where it's supposed to be I know my enemy, only let my friends close to me Cleared my head, awoke myself from your broken dream [Verse 1: Dessa] It gets hard doesn't it, like love and war is redundant Both demand strong hands, strong stomachs I rock bra** knuckles over my kid gloves Like you wake up with busted teeth but know you felt real love [Hook: Dessa] You felt real, you felt real love You felt real, you felt real love I rock bra** knuckles over my kid gloves Like you wake up with busted teeth But know you felt real love You felt real, you felt real love You felt real, you felt real love I rock bra** knuckles over my kid gloves Broke your heart, broke your jaw But you know you felt real love [Verse 2: Mictlan] She's got that swagger now Dagger in the back, Flashdance And frantic answers to questions of fast cash The face of an angel with the eyes of an alcoholic Looking for love but always drunk when it's calling Got that last call chasing a dream weaver and that's all Those lips look like love to lip readers But up close it's the worlds deadliest venom Girl playing woman swimming through men, liquored up to the linen Daddy's little under-ager, undercover agent Aging under the covers of a hundred lovers' faces But let's face it, that make-up is wasting her beauty, that's basic Filling a void, but evasive and vacant I tried to avoid, but she stays patiently naked Crying wolf to this pagan until her Maybeline faded Into her necklace and bracelet, it made her painless and jaded I hated to chase her, hated it more when it came to dating [Hook: Both] You felt real, you felt real love You felt real, you felt real love I rock gla** fronts over my bare teeth Like you wake up with broken dreams But know you felt real love You felt real, you felt real love You felt real, you felt real love I rock gla** fronts over my bare teeth Like you wake up with broken dreams But know you felt real [Verse 3: Dessa] Babe it's work to whistle If it's love it's labor I'm the first to issue an admission of my bad behavior I'm a mouthy little drunk and I'm a tyrant when I'm angry Clumsy with company, careful with family Break bones before promises, throw stone before towels I get nervous at parties but I'm like bedrock at hospitals So f** my birthstone, what's my blood type? Let's do this thing with a little bold nerve and a little foresight ‘course I expect the sh** to get rough cause it always does in life and love Best you can do is try to find other survivors Take flight or get fried to wire, they light the briar but I got your back when you're feet to the fire love [Both] Real recognize real, like counterfeits rejected Come correct or kindly leave the table now Fold your hand but your pocket's not protected It takes one to know one and two to double down Real recognize real, like counterfeits rejected Come correct or kindly leave the table now Fold your hand but your pocket's not protected It takes one to know one and two to double down My blood is thicker than liquor Your skin is thinner than money I've seen a ghost in every picture you've taken This love is hidden in scripture My pen is splintered and bloody I hear a ghost in every record I'm making My blood is thicker than liquor Your skin is thinner than money I've seen a ghost in every picture you've taken This love is hidden in scripture My pen is splintered and bloody I hear a ghost in every record I'm making
