Lateef and Lyrics Born - Burnt Pride слова песни
Burnt Pride is a crazy thing / But now, what does it take to make you feelme concrete? / I ain`t your maitre`d, I ain`t on pain relief / This ain`tmake believe, I ain`t on no ankle leash / I tried speaking in a rationalmanner /Tried to get my point across using regular me(ans) / I evenpatterned my delivery / Similarly after something you had said / So thatyou would not interpret me differently, but / My head`s on a tree swing /Your debt`s still lingering / While you erect gates with codes reallynobody knows / I ask, "Why`s it always closed?" / I`m told it`s my approach/ Well let`s suppose / just for the sole sake of argument that/ despite thespite and all the ill will you`re harboring / that me, Lyrics Born, allthis power that I`m harnessing / That I didn`t come in here to noconquering / That I came in here to do a little bargaining / Grease keypeople do some apple polishing / Maybe hail a cab for my local congressman/ so he can hook me with the landlord in parliament / Then I`ll set up abooth, hand-pick my operatives / Train `em up, send my squad of garbagemen/ To spread the good will, all in the environment / and all the falsedoctrine and all the carcinogens, but now / I gotta be wise `bout who I`mtargeting / The key is make the young folks offerings / so that they don`tbecome adults that are demonstrative / or else my chances of retirement gospiraling / So then I work my way into their subconsciousness / I tell themalways use caution, now, cautiousness, because / Are you absolutely positivethat you can make it without us and be prosperous? / You need to look at meand my accomplishments / Hey, I got an idea, let`s start a partnership! /It`ll be just like livin` in a Harlequin / And we`ll feed our pond fishiesostriches / we`ll feed the starved kiddies self-doubt lozenges / Justpeeling layer after layer off their confidence / until it`s one planet ushomogenous / versus one gumball you optimists!! / Burn pride!! Burnpride!! / Burn pride!! Burn Pride!! / Burnt Pride is a crazy thing / Whatdoes it take to make you feel me concrete? / I ain`t your maitre`d, I ain`ton pain relief / this ain`t make believe, I ain`t on no ankle leash / Itried speaking in a rational manner / Tried to get my point across usingconventional means / I even patterned my deliverysimilarly after something you had said / so that you would not interpret medifferently, but- / My head`s on a tree swing / Your debt`s still lingering/ While you erect gates with codes really nobody knows / I ask, "Why`s italways closed?" / I`m told it`s my approach / Okay, what`s appropriate yourroyal holiness? / Shall I fan you with foliage in front of an audience? /Hi-five Napoleon? / Lo-five a Scorpion? / Then and only then would thereever be an opening / Well, that`s just your big, wet blanket of power / Youweight us down with double-talk until we think we`re insane / But if you`retrying to save your pride / You`re trying to save your pride / As far asI`m concerned that shit is going down in flames / With your piddly-assriddles / You think I ain`t mentally apt / I see you slither `round myankle like I ain`t gonna react / No more me nibblin` on a bridle whileyou`re kickin` my abs / No more "everything`s Ore-Ida" when I can`t evenstand / No more fiddling with the maps / No more belittling the past / Nomore nonsense when my questions is asked / No more concessions for an egoso fragile / Any self-expression chips away at your castle / Your pride`syour damsel, you built your barricade / I was so careful / I danced aroundyour insecurities /on your schedule / Ignored all your absurdities / Butall the people / you parody with that dogshit your nurturing / Then youhave the nerve to take certain shit personally / I didn`t even speak ahandful and I encroached on your territory / You need therapy there misterPharisee / seriously, `cause apparently your circuitry`s terribly damaged /How `bout a nice hot kerosene bath / I`ll come back / I`ll serenade youwith flaming arrows oh serpentine / Your pride needs refurbishing / I`llextend you that courtesy like- / "Hi, this is Lyrics Born servicing!" /Burnt Pride!!
