Jake Palumbo, Roc Marciano, Innocentlams - Manilla Envelopes lyrics

Big dreamer, small business
'88 Beamer, heat seeeker, tall Guiness
I am living on the edge of
Panic rooms & busted windows
With a mustard colored jumpsuit
Seducing younger womens spend my days in the
Basement avoiding the super
Cornbread, peach tea, burning sour
Eating grouper
Spiral out the staircase leaving on the creep
Sometimes I wish that I was dead
Just to get some decent sleep
Time to pay my loan shark, Hudson & Horatio
Cigar bar owner with enforcers on the payroll
Emeralds in the headphones
Exchange manila envelopes
Handshake agreements
My pops taught me to honor those
Move in total silence, so I'm
Never like "your honor", though
Ostinato bass line, copped a box of Optimos
Cops is like the Octagon
Choke without a care
In the lab I'm Dr octopus
Engineer extraordinaire

Look - I don't know
What these motherfer's expect
You carved your name in this game
They gotta show you respect
Traveled across lands
Demand they cut a check
You so up to your neck
Might light up a cigarette
(And you don't even smoke)
They say you insane in the membrane, & yep
There's a couple screws missing
But homie ain't done yet
I make you a bet that the day before you go
You get a million dollar check
In a manila envelope

Smash pumpkins off the necks of dumb fellas
Country bumpkins buying guns at Cabela's
Switch the vehicle cause they
Memorize your patterns rap is lackluster
Never memorize your patterns
Snooping neighbors, overdue favors
But, if I'm on the clock
Then there's food on the table
My mood is unstable, sampling Dave Brubeck
Dance like I'm crippled with palsy
I can't two-step
Cripller crossface, true story -
I sold Chris Benoit groceries in 1999
Before I ever sold a record
Before he snapped & went gory
Met my idol as a teen
The Wolverine said go for mine
Bumped my head a few times
Suffered two concussions
But cracked $80 Thou on the
Strength of my percussion
Last year, JP Midas Touch, Golden Ear
Old enough to know better
Young enough to see it clear

Ghost guns from the Philippines
These white bs is feeling
Me like Ryan Philippe
Whip a blow-up in the kitchen
This s is chemistry it's risky business
We did wickedry with the chicken feet
Switching V's, $50 G's is chicken feed
We in a different league
I cop my ice from Tiffany's
Drive-by's in the Lotus, the 6-speed
The 5th will bend your
Knees like Christopher Reeves
Getting the breeze is just routine
My shoes from the boutique
They cool as Kool G, they run a cool G
Just copped a new blue SUV
We don't lose sleep was a jewel thief
I popped the tooly at your booty meat
Play your position, I'm playing mines
I'm playing God
You could never take the baton
My young shooter Juan he from San Juan
Said Duece was on the arm
After he blammed your car
He died his hair blonde

What do you do when your
Back is against the wall
And you're down so deep
No reception to make a call
All you got is a couple of bags of raw
Brown liquor
One mic & a button that says record
Second hand got me high as my first toke
Don't even think Travis Scott come
Equipped with the antidote dungeon of rap
These chains will never be broke
All because of C-Notes
Inside manila envelopes
