Sage Francis - Garden Gnomes lyrics

(I'm over time)

Welcome to my life (welcome)
Welcome to my life (welcome)
Welcome to my life (welcome)

Welcome to my life where
Everybody wants to cipher
They've never held a mic
But they swear they nice
€˜cause they boys told ‘em so
And surely enough they suck my dick
In front of they girlfriend like
€œLook, this is how you do it, you
Gotta fkin' do it slow then fast
Slow then fast eat that shitâ€, check-check

If this is you, you're not alone
This world's a rock of drones
Girls flock like birds
Cause they heard lots of poems
From the mystery man
When my name gets spit it echoes
Straight laced people say grace
With evil smiles i'll stick to Velcro
Let go of these claims I hold true
This is Sage, don't say I ain't told you
Fake gold tooth
Real problems with garden gnomes
Who talk shit
My respect's the best bargain known
To the consumin' market so pay me it
To my love hate relationship
With love hate relationships makes me rich
My old lady thinks that I done did it
But I done didn't
Save my breath during dramatic movie endings
Hold the stub of the ticket
When credit's roll I'm heading
For the exit hole
Your track record is such a
Short shelf-life bless it's soul
It's about you, all about you
That's probably why you
Don't really respect it or know how to
Fk a fickle fan base
Stuck a middle finger in they damn face
Does the pinnacle of my hand taste
Dirty like the suggestive gesture
You're best to drop out the
School of hard knocks
Get murdered by stress and pressure
Pressure-cooker
I leave the party with a mass amount
Of assed-out demo tapes to butcher
€œCould ya give it a little bit of a listen
Bro?†into â€" “do me a favor and play
It on a big system thoughâ€
Into â€" “give me a detailed
Critique of my hot shitâ€
€œSure thing boss, I'll get right on itâ€
Oh hell no he didn't
Oh yes he done did my friend
Think he was so very special
Among the hundred thousand
You play the fence
Your flow is weak and your concepts suck
It makes no sense
Slow to speak â€" your logic's fked
You made no dents over beats
That got lots of cuts
Noise you do have toys like
You stocked with Tonka Trunks

You're not a lone
This world's a rock of drones
Who rock microphones and abuse generous ears
With the “yeah, yeah off the domeâ€

You're not a lone
This world is stocked with clones
And my dear Watson's are coming to
Bite a style near you
You best for sure lock your homes
You best for sure lock your homes
You best for sure lock your homes
You best for sure lock your homes and beware
Beware the garden gnomes
