Dumbfoundead - Town lyrics
[Dumbfoundead - Town lyrics]
You know the usual girl
I'll take it on the rocks
You can catch me here every night
Like I'm on the clock
I know this neighborhood and all
The local mom and pops
We own these blocks like prisoners
That were on the rock
But this ain't Alcatraz
This is an alkie trap
Bar hoppers and big talkers and starting tabs
Hand shakes with fake smiles
And shark attacks
Networking and head jerk gettin lots of crap
Huh, some of these cats I
Went to school with 'em
Run into 'em they be telling
Me that I'm doing it they give me props
But, it's hard to find the truth in it
Green bottles in hand with
Devils juice in 'em
Sixth street down six feet we digging deep
Like we own the place, know my face
Get in free the wasted minutes of our lives
Is the hidden fee but who am I to preach
Yeah they know me around here
Call me the hometown hero
Holla when I roll down Pico
Let's get another round here
Homie drinks on me
Because you know I get them drinks for free
Girl you ain't from around here
And that's probably a good thing
Because I ain't trying to mess
Up a good thing this is my town here
As much as I love it I wanna leave
But this town won't set me free
I seen them younguns they
Tatted with town pride
With not the slightest clue
What's happening outside
Saying that they run shit
Fighting about dumb shit
When they not one fifth of the man
Ain't that some shit
We live our lives on the fly
We just roll the dice
With no idea you're a grain
In the bowl of rice
The OGs told me nothing no advice
My closest friends left me hanging
On the coldest nights
Where the women and pretty
Linen are overpriced gold diggers
Their goal's becoming trophy wives
Tell me how that easy money
Make you feel girl
It's gon' be painful when you
Come into the real world
I ain't lying you a dime though
But, you're drinking yourself down
To a five though
Going out every night, you a wine-o
The same faces all the places that I go
I took a break then came back
Ain't nothing changed
The same cats from way back
Oh, what's his name?
Big homie in his late 20s clutching canes
Old girl
Who been known to do them slutty things
I seen the parts of the world
That some would never reach
This town will anchor you down
And never set you free
They said a local legend is
The most I'll ever be
Until I put my town on the map
For everyone to see
Here I am y'all, I got a lot to share
I ain't telling made up stories
On my rocking chair
I see you there trying so hard not to care
You saying that you wanna go far
But, you're scared
Nah brotha, it don't work like that
You took a step out and
Took the first flight back
I guess some of us are just cursed like that
But, I wasn't birthed like that
I'll take it on the rocks
You can catch me here every night
Like I'm on the clock
I know this neighborhood and all
The local mom and pops
We own these blocks like prisoners
That were on the rock
But this ain't Alcatraz
This is an alkie trap
Bar hoppers and big talkers and starting tabs
Hand shakes with fake smiles
And shark attacks
Networking and head jerk gettin lots of crap
