Esham - Skyscraper lyrics
[Esham - Skyscraper lyrics]
I woke up this morning (Woke up this morning)
Thinkin' about some paper
(Thinkin' about them M's, M's)
'Cause, I need my stacks tall as
(Empire State line)
Skyscraper (Just call me Skyscraper)
I woke up this morning (Woke up this morning)
Thinkin' about some paper
(Thinkin' about some billions)
'Cause, I need my stacks tall as (As tall as)
Skyscraper (Skyscraper)
I'm dizzy off of two flights
(Dizzy off of two flights)
Been partyin' with two dykes
(Partyin' with two lesbians)
All she wanna do is wrong
(All she wanna do is snort)
All I wanna do is right
(Do right, right, right)
I'm dancin' on the edge of life
(Dancin' on the edge of life)
Walkin' barefoot on the butcher's knife
(It's sharp)
In the darkness, I can't see the light
(I can't see the light)
On my knees at night like Jesus Christ
(Jesus Christ)
They say that I'm walking dead
(Cheated on the walking dead)
They wanna kill me 'cause some things I said
(He spit the truth)
Look 'em in they face, say go ahead
(Just ahead, yeah)
Shoot me up until I'm bloody red
(Bloody, bloody red, yeah)
Should I get down on my knees and pray
(Help me, Jesus)
And ask the Lord for another day? (God)
But the Devil get me wicked pay
(Gotta get these billions)
Lord, forgive me for my wicked ways
(Wicked ways)
I woke up this morning (Woke up this morning)
Thinkin' about some paper
(Thinkin' about some M's)
'Cause, I need my stacks tall as
(Stacks tall as) skyscraper (Skyscraper)
The right of holding slaves is clearly
Established in the Holy Scriptures
Both by precept and example
I draw my warrant from the
Scriptures of the Old
And New Testaments to hold
The slave in bondage the extracts from Holy
Writ unequivocally assert
The right of property in slaves
Slavery was recognized accordingly by
Christ and his apostles they condemned all
Intermeddlers with it
Thinkin' about some paper
(Thinkin' about them M's, M's)
'Cause, I need my stacks tall as
(Empire State line)
Skyscraper (Just call me Skyscraper)
I woke up this morning (Woke up this morning)
Thinkin' about some paper
(Thinkin' about some billions)
'Cause, I need my stacks tall as (As tall as)
Skyscraper (Skyscraper)
I'm dizzy off of two flights
(Dizzy off of two flights)
Been partyin' with two dykes
(Partyin' with two lesbians)
All she wanna do is wrong
(All she wanna do is snort)
All I wanna do is right
(Do right, right, right)
I'm dancin' on the edge of life
(Dancin' on the edge of life)
Walkin' barefoot on the butcher's knife
(It's sharp)
In the darkness, I can't see the light
(I can't see the light)
On my knees at night like Jesus Christ
(Jesus Christ)
They say that I'm walking dead
(Cheated on the walking dead)
They wanna kill me 'cause some things I said
(He spit the truth)
Look 'em in they face, say go ahead
(Just ahead, yeah)
Shoot me up until I'm bloody red
(Bloody, bloody red, yeah)
