ZEKERI JOSHUA - SCARECROW lyrics

[VERSE 1:] It's frightening, you see the news right? In a moment I promise I'm ‘bout to go berserk from Paranoia Not my annoyance This world is a valley of d**h Look at the highways, check through the airwaves You really think that would be air that you breathing? My homeland's a terrorist playground Ain't trying to be their play dog Cut loose a greyhound! Ain't no place that gat safety Take a look at the park now, see everybody swinging You just gotta duck always Cos you never know when the culture Might try to go vulture The world is a harbor of danger So why y'all out in this dockyard? Working hard to repair (relation)ships that would sail Just to k** a man Working hard is really getting deadly I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys [HOOK:] I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys oooooo [VERSE 2:] Let me tell you ‘bout a mugging Was a blade and a chopper when they hit me and Tony Now it seems just a story but The events of that night did hit me like a tornado Now I'm sitting brainstorming Looking for an escape route when I'm haunted by memories I was a rabbit And when these thoughts came calling Shoulda seen what speed how your fella started running So now I'm digging my tunnels and sinking my trenches I'm building these walls and creating defenses See when you done been through some type experiences You don't just learn lessons you learn definitions Now I know why they call it mugging Cos when you hear that gun crack You gon' know life is fragile like a piece of chinaware Here's a finer ware I be taking up for y'all Y'all fellas, y'all fellas shoulda beware! [HOOK:] I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys [VERSE 3:] Listen! So my thumbs and heads up to the height heads You ain't seen what happened to the tortoise? Imma has to save it for another topic But this man right here staying acrophobic Now you ‘bout the top and climbing heights I see they never told you “life is shorter than a hyphen” So if I could I would levitate I take the stairs to the top elevators made to eliminate Look at Tarzan and the mother ape Even evolution took it slow Give me a break like the 7th day, like the 7th day I win it slow and steady I ain't ‘bout doing it fast like I never ate, like I never ate When even the day's finna be creeping by Treat it like a lemonade, sipping I never do it in shots brrraaatttt, brrraaattt rrraaatttt You could trip and die [HOOK:] I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys I done seen folks who ain't buried in their Bentleys [VERSE 4:] Alright! Now close up your eyes and just listen to me Joshua I'm your subconscious, your instincts The drive of your senses, I put you in motion I teach you safety I know the future you humans call it premonition The buckling knees and ‘em twisting stomachs Would be simply just reflex emotions when feelings erupt There is a volcano spitting red hot larva right in your front The love in her eyes Is easily contradicting the feeling of fear in my heart Fairy godfather arrives With that parental advice Rejection would ruin me The concept of “be a man and walk right at it” As I turn my back is no longer appealing to me [VERSE 5:] Intro: it's a story about that perfect fear in my heart I was haunted by it, so let me talk to you about it Listen Have you been scared before? I was victim to my fears for long Eating away at my heart and my liver While these logics I juxtaposed made you think I was Logically just bold Around here there ain't no mama told me Ain't no papa hold me Just a grown man trying to get hold over his anxieties Wes wes, yes, yes But what I'm I supposed to do when dangers are real And past events are irreversible using the law of thermodynamics? What are the dynamics that cause rise and falls in my Self-composition? Nightmares in my sleep, dying thoughts in my wake Been fantasizing ‘bout my wake is enough to keep me out my sleep Wes wes, rest, rest, yes! Cowards die a million d**hs before the graveyard And who gon' be at such a funeral with a million wreaths To lay upon his graveyard? See where I'm from it's hard to succeed When the strong get upon their knees just to prey (pray) upon the weak Money laundering, hustling Selling trees like a lumberman People do anything to succeed including doing you harm God told me “The ones who don't take a risk are the risky ones” But two shots made you feel like you was the whisky son I was told dangers are real but fear is an option Cos every chance at fear is a chance at faith in equal proportion So give it away, give it away now I let perfect love get at my heart and take it all away now So if that scarecrow magnificent I turn that crow into a man, Maleficent So if that scarecrow magnificent I turn that crow into a man, Maleficent [OUTRO:] That's how I let it go people Let perfect get at your heart Cos perfect love cast away all fear (scarecrow) Tales of a coward my people My tail in between my legs and I fly away I turn that crow into a man That's how I live through it
