Lyrics

I be counting compliments like they was calories on Jenny Craig Scouting empty beats to bury my seed in the thread Shedding skin, snake bites like a jealous writer Writing empty songs that could blow yours out the water I I sank your battleship C'mon let's take a dip I will use my grammy as a microphone sink or swim Now I'm just being grimm (reaper) I'm Reed's feature and he's in a Mal Devisa t-shirt Fuck an ep this is the masterpiece This is a monument for all the kids who look like me I'm talking serious, maybe it's Maybelline or maybe it's because Without this beat I couldn't fucking breathe The music scene is so small ya big girl shrunk it You knew my name since middle school. Who'da funk it? But quit calling me famous I'm nameless I'm homeless I own this postpone this no bus money no phone Drama's daughter holy water yeah I'm relentless Made a couple dollars selling white boys my setlist They was in the basement blowing kisses to my fretless They say you the misses I'm the mister let's forget this Every night check a city off my checklist Burning down Birmingham next stop Texas Every night check a city off my checklist Ripping up the room then I wore it like a necklace Lone wolf never be cute enough for family Respectability my arch enemy can't stand it Like Brad Pitt and Jolie I adopt the blackness Give it my last name and wear it like (no) blackface And don't call me an angel, I fucking hate baseball My skin crawls deeper than a poem by Neruda I used to write poetry and hopefully slam it Now I rock the medicine cabinet dammit Yesterday I tried to give my white friend cornrows She said, "ow Deja" I said, "(bitch) you ain't punk rock" I'm Bad Brains you Sonic Youth I'm giving you the honest truth I meditate in mosh pits and hesitate to talk to you Hap-hazard half ass hands down the best Breathing up my lyrics vapor rub on my chest Put a hex on my ex now he talks out his neck Voodoo chile what will you do next Every night check a city off my checklist Burning down Birmingham next stop Texas Every night check a city off my checklist Ripping up the room then I wore it like a necklace My life my city my star my shine (burning down Birmingham next stop Texas)
