Open Mike Eagle - Protectors of the Heat lyrics

[Hook] Sticks we pick up, sticks we pick up Sticks and stones that get thrown at these stick-up kids Just kids, you know These kids can grow Pundits denying them this So we pick up sticks for stick-up kids Sticks we pick up, sticks we pick up Sticks and stones that get thrown at these stick-up kids Just kids, you know? These kids can't grow without sunlight and grit So for stick-up kids we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks [Verse 1: Hemlock Ernst] Gatsby Seven headed dragon, ashy wake of vital Casio Carry pens by the gallon load Lil Mario tortoise shell spectacles and monocles Diamond-fitted Spinning from ruby necklaces, high polish I ain't got a wallet Just paper clips and newspaper clippings Suggestion: new paper's mission's overtaking the district Far from pensive Emotionally unstable when looking from grave to cradle B-boy in me, headspin like a dreidel Tongue moves The simplest sentences Past the nimblest premises Guards officiate the remnants For the God divines the way the spine is crooked And hookers need a dinner mint after Sunday supper out on 25th Part the lips, force fed monogamy Since bible verses prefaced place settings Silver spoon, table--mahogany Trouble knew Morse code Tapped, tip-toe by proxy Oxycontin levels maximized by runners high, honest why? No simple way around this elevation Cliff running for young son--darting Out from undertow Bury my opponents in a wave of exhalation Ten ton flow, American Blue Beard and Thunder Crow Too much for these young minds to handle Dismantle candles and stardust Circle wax around the artist [Hook] Sticks we pick up, sticks we pick up Sticks and stones that get thrown at these stick-up kids Just kids, you know These kids can grow Pundits denying them this So we pick up sticks for stick-up kids Sticks we pick up, sticks we pick up Sticks and stones that get thrown at these stick-up kids Just kids, you know? These kids can't grow without sunlight and grit So for stick-up kids we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks [Verse 2: Open Mike Eagle] I'm in an MJ jacket with eleven gold bu*tons Trying to tell you what to do when I never know nothing It's a secret, we're all damn desperate for it Flitting through the long gra** with lungs full of petrichor What's the method? f** it's a suggestion Look at the a**umption that's snuck into the questions I'm grown, my dinner's vanilla cones Skeletons in closets, big thick gorilla bones! And everything's encrusted Like j**ellery or better yet chicken breast Quick pick; oral or written test? Which pick florals for vision quest A little warm d**h from Ca**andra Accompanying checks from a sponsor I'll text you a mantra Inhaled through your chest is enlarged on your exhales say "Jeff you're a monster" I'm vexing my own damn concerts This mic's dumb I'm at the airport staring at my sliced thumb Cookie-faced about to go through security [Hook] Sticks we pick up, sticks we pick up Sticks and stones that get thrown at these stick-up kids Just kids, you know These kids can grow Pundits denying them this So we pick up sticks for stick-up kids Sticks we pick up, sticks we pick up Sticks and stones that get thrown at these stick-up kids Just kids, you know? These kids can't grow without sunlight and grit So for stick-up kids we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks Sticks, we pick up sticks, we pick up sticks
