Paint the Town Red

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jeswon] Yah, this is for my peoples Just gettin' drunk on the weekends Jump in the deep end, weeded by mid-week Been so pissed that I couldn't even speak Buckle at the knees, stumble on my feet Slur my words, my legs don't work While my friends yellin', "Jes, don't get with her! Can't you see that this floozie is a hood rat?" "True that, my apologies, Suzie, I'm too macked!" Ain't ever been smart, shit, I'm a retard Creepin' in the back of every bar where I been barred All I ever wanted was a cheap glass, sneak in a flask Stop buyin' beer, I'm gettin' wild in here "Pleased to meet you, my name is—oh shit You got a dollar for another cold drink?" (haha) "Yeah, why not when all that's next up Is a five-day week, the stress and headfucks, get crunk [Chorus: Jeswon & Tuka] This crown knows no halo One day, I'ma lay low and stay home But till then, paint the town red Till then we paint the town red (Hey) All I know is some things forever change I ain't gonna lie, I tried to self-medicate Till then, paint the town red Till then we paint the town red (Hey) [Scratches: DJ Morgs] "I was a teen drunk off brew" "Freak the beats 'cause the streets is raw" [Verse 2: Tuka] Cop this hot shit all up in your mosh pit Picture Tux, drunk as fuck, shottin' on a toxin Biggie bangin' on a jukebox, bitches wishin' it was U2 Jesse hangin' off a rooftop thinkin' he's too cool Inside it's 2AM, lockin', poppin' Outside mayhem's got dropkicks boxin' Sounds like they've sent cops in to stop 'em Now watch eight men stomp a hothead, squash the problem Slay the conflict, spray the optics Piggy-in-the-middle is a painful option Pay the fine, they make the profit All in the name of progress, it's nonsense They ain't scared of the grog Next Friday it's hair of the dog, yo Care for a scotch, out on the town, bars bound to house me Smartarse alci like Charles Bukowski, you what? [Chorus: Jeswon & Tuka] This crown knows no halo One day, I'ma lay low and stay home But till then, paint the town red Till then we paint the town red (Hey) All I know is some things forever change I ain't gonna lie, I tried to self-medicate Till then, paint the town red Till then we paint the town red (Hey) [Bridge: Jeswon, Tuka & AZ (Sampled)] Okay If you in a club I advise you to put your drinks down And head to the dance floor Hey Life's a bitch, she spiked my drink Woke up in the morning like, "aww shit" [Verse 3: Jeswon] Right I got an angel on my shoulder sayin', "Slow down You gotta work in the morning, you should call it an evenin'" While the devil's on the other sayin', "Go hard There's more liquor needs drinkin', don't you think about leavin'" Which way do I go now? Caught in the struggle 'tween Common sense and the content of a bottle Been spittin' these tunes while I'm swillin' the Stout It's all tickety-boo till I figure it out, you know? [Verse 4: Tuka] Yo, this crown it knows no halo I lay low, scoutin' out a pouch to take home Self-medicated, yo, I take it, just say so If it helps me escape from whatever is painful But I can feel that change is near Yo, real cats face their fears, save your tears I'ma make it clear and take you there My naked stare's like a steel trap taming bears, you dig? [Chorus: Jeswon & Tuka] This crown knows no halo One day, I'ma lay low and stay home But till then, paint the town red Till then we paint the town red (Hey) All I know is some things forever change I ain't gonna lie, I tried to self-medicate Till then, paint the town red Till then we paint the town red (Hey) [Outro: Jeswon & Tuka] Paint the town red We paint the town red Paint the town red We paint the town red
