Touché

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Through all the bars were my scars and mementos Was heavy young man, for every one friend had ten foes It been woes, that's how the trend goes, never would have been chose Through the sifter couldn't picture me getting in if I ain't impose Bred in the height of Maya, ready to light a fire, when them froze When my heart is best tries for all his highs as their been lows My hurtful eyes seen all when virtue dies and sin grows Tried to learn hate sooner, but a late bloomer, wasn't primrose Tired of black kids bending over backwards living in limbos Got a lot of layers, that's how I made it through winter in them thin clothes [Chorus] Never would have made it to June Never would have made it to June If waited to hear you May Receive flowers at night I know evil powers plot the bouquet En Garde, if ain't on guard, get Touché En Garde, if ain't on guard, get Touché [Verse 2] Hard boil the deep hate as a keepsake Hope the bandage last from the damaged past I can't reshape Was just saving the push, kick, flip, wasn't a cheapskate All sassiest things after the king trying to seek mate For Pete's sake I can't wait till our kids' kids have kids to be great Preferred early birds, didn't want to hear them whirly words, she late Another mouth to feed, anything out the house we need we take The pain made K became grade A from all the years they B rate Around here was crooked looking, never thought I'd see straight Where if black threatened in the back with a weapon, we wait Life might have been calm if moms gave me every key trait Or promised this [?] bust a nickel-plated three-eight [Chorus] Never would have made it to June Never would have made it to June If waited to hear you May Receive flowers at night I know evil powers plot the bouquet En Garde, if ain't on guard, get Touché En Garde, if ain't on guard, get Touché
