Part of Me

Lyrics

[Chorus: Phoelix] I have to focus on the part of me that I'm trying to be I can't pretend I'm not myself But if you go, wipe your shoes 'fore you leave I have to focus on the part of me that I'm trying to be I can't pretend I'm not myself But if you go, wipe your shoes 'fore you leave [Verse 1: Noname] Riddle me this, Mona Lisa pizza pepperoni Smilin' over phony speakers, gettin' a fit Often of the shits, it's a party at my granny house Now birthdays and funerals will only bring the family out Riddle me new, politician do a dance for me Hot potato, milly rock, devastation of kiddy bop Idiot, itty bitty resentfulness Riddle me gone, Chicago go go bye Chicago Eastroom savage Ashes for backstage passes, ashes to house on Ashland Chicago go go cozy, move to LA county Riddle my old life dead, riddle my new life dead Riddle me, Lord, forgive me [Chorus: Phoelix] I have to focus on the part of me that I'm trying to be I can't pretend I'm not myself But if you go, wipe your shoes 'fore you leave I have to focus on the part of me that I'm trying to be I can't pretend I'm not myself But if you go, wipe your shoes 'fore you leave [Verse 2: Benjamin Earl Turner] Shaking the dust off my heel as I get infected Weekend trips to my aunties was an antiseptic The fat boy anorexic ain't admit 'cause my complexion Wrist like an Etch-a-Sketch, I'm sculptin' the pain in 'em like Edmonia Lewis My notebooks less Jesus, more gospel to it Let's holler and hoop and my niggas is stupid, my niggas is shootin' Your interpretation of that last bar will tell me where you was rooted Me and mines amongst the poplar still I'm talkin' moonshine, night walkin', underground, high stakin' Cop'll put the choppa on ya, make the pupils dilate Oh what a drug is fear, oh what a love is close Oh at the crib with the Coupe DeVille with the overdose That made jealousy dance on the crowd I been everywhere, everywhere let me down Worn every hat, every hat with a crown Now every head bowed, dear God [Chorus: Phoelix] I have to focus on the part of me that I'm trying to be I can't pretend I'm not myself But if you go, wipe your shoes 'fore you leave I have to focus on the part of me that I'm trying to be I can't pretend I'm not myself But if you go, wipe your shoes 'fore you leave
