MGK - Merry Go Round lyrics

Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown merry go round
Look

Summer day bobby and this girl would wake
Up every summer day
This boy and girl had nothing
They were runaways
So in love that now all they wanted
Was pain and so it came
Never had a silver spoon present in the past
Now at last
The spoon is present and so the boy wet it
Told her bring him a slab, a cotton swab
And a match
And told her one day they’ll fly across
The world and have a wedding
Like "baby I have a plan
Come with me to this place
Baby give me your hand


Now flip it give me a vein
Baby take off your belt
We’ll use it as a restraint"
She sees that it starts to melt
He reaches inside a case
Fills the needle with food
Flicks the needle with haste
Brings the needle to her
She isn’t right in the face
The boy can tell that she’s scared
He says "I love you, okay?"
Then shoves it into her arm and says
"how the fuck does that taste baby?!"

Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown merry go round
Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown
Merry, merry, merry go round

Her dress drops, her head drops
Swiggin’ out of a whiskey bottle
He just watches but he was not Bobby
See Bobby had joined the army
Been gone for a couple months
Now she’s messin with everybody
Everyone of the dealers
Everyone hears her squealing
Trading pussy for product
She did anything for that feeling
But then she started that feeling
Early morning she’s kneelin’
In front of the toilet look at
Her belly there’s no concealing
That she’s expecting a child
This woman is living foul
She’s only 20 years old
And hardly can even smile
Ultrasound shows a baby that’s
Barely over a pound
Sold everything in her house just
Trying to score an ounce
News of her baby’s father was that
He died in the war
Now that syringe is all that
Keeps her alive anymore no mattress
So her and her child dyin’ on the floor
As a letter’s at the door reading:
"I’ll be home tomorrow love, Bobby"

Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown merry go round
Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown
Merry, merry, merry go round

Knockin’ at the door but
Doesn’t get an answer bobby’s nervous
His heart starts to beat faster
He hasn’t talked to his girl in so long
She sold his phone for a hit
Damn how he wish that he
Could hear her laughter
But his drug hit her like a cancer
And he forgot ‘cause he had left
And cleaned his act up
Passenger seat in his Acura got
A picture of ‘em kissing
Under the words "happily ever after"
He walks into the house
It’s a fuckin’ disaster
Every step he takes his
Shoe crushes a capsule holds his breath
He knows what he smells isn’t natural
Looks down
It’s the body of the queen of his castle
"Baby please, baby please!" "Wake up!"
He screams on his knees and he
Sees her hands around her stomach
Inside was a child and realizes it was his
Gun shot summer day
An entire family died on that summer day
‘cause a facade made a girl
Give her love away
But those were Bobby’s consequences that
He had to pay love is pain

Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown merry go round
Merry, merry, merry go round
I don’t want to see you down
I don’t want to see you frown
Merry, merry, merry go round
