The Set Up

Copper Gone专辑

  • 作曲 : Sage Francis
    [Hook:]
    I set it up, you knocked it down, lay the foundation, I built this house
    I feel cracks underneath my feet, I feel cracks underneath my feet
    The walls are breathing heavy, sucking up the oxygen with no plans of leaving any
    For as long as I’ve been hoarded, it’s taking me forever to gather up all my belongings
    [Verse 1:]
    I get attached, near attached to people who I’ve loved and lost
    Even though I gotta admit, there are few who’ve run me off
    But I’m under no illusion how relationships get ruined
    How I’m ancient to this movement when I’m just stuck to a cross
    Tossed into the underworld and give in specific info
    Forced to find another girl, sick of living in limbo
    But I have my songs to play so I got lost along the way
    And now I’ll never see the light of day thanks to the tinted Limo
    I was hopelessly romantic, emphasis on antic
    Now run hopeless along the open coast of the Atlantic
    Bought an overcoat that says “Francis, Showboat captain”
    Did my best to scrub it off cause it’s utterly embarrassing
    Every night I’d re-write my will on a sandbar napkin
    I’d crash after sticking it to the window of my cabin
    Once I awoke I’d notice it, read it then remove it
    Just stunned I left nothing to my loved ones but music
    Muses abandon me while choosing family over continued support
    For my intuitive thought, who would’ve thought?
    Worst thing I ever did to another person in this world is nothing
    Only a few can claim that’s what I did when I could have done otherwise
    Every single last one of them sang for nothing-types
    Made me pay the price at any cost, I’ve got buyer’s remorse
    How many toxins will the doctors find inside this corpse?
    Suicidal watch it’s diamond studded
    Tells me when my time’s up, trying to keep my eyes from it
    It’s so swag, I flash it at the fashion shows
    Walks with a limp, it’s so pimp, and it smacks the hoes
    Rappers used to brag about intelligence, made me want to be smarter
    Then I harbor no regrets, whether it sells or not is irrelevant
    I would have sold coke if making dough was the sole motive
    It wasn’t but **** being a broke poet
    Without paying debts, begging friends for loose ends
    If your so-called talent only results in loan extensions
    There’s no defenses, or buyouts, you don’t get a per diem for good intentions
    Do you want to sign now?
    Promise that a job doesn't define you as a person
    If your words don’t carry weight, it’s not the worlds burden
    And in no certain terms am I suggesting that you shouldn’t set fire to the stage and let the curtains burn
    Just be aware of the exits
    Keep in mind that the closest one might be behind you, the entrance
    in the event that I can’t live better as an honest rapper
    Without my past self being my benefactor
    [Refrain:]
    I set it up, you knocked it down
    I set it up, you knocked it down
    I set it up, you knocked it down
    I set it up, you knocked it down
    You laid the foundation, I built this house
    [Verse 2:]
    Gamble away my better half in hopes of doubling up
    is a double or nothing, I laughed, I was **** out of luck
    But what have I got to lose? At least I’m whole now
    Half man, half clone, the bad composite sketch of a one-hundred percent asshole
    But it wasn’t without help, many people did their part
    To make me take the time to Frankenstein was ripped apart
    And put it together again, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
    Couldn’t admit that this was a predicament they put me in
    You want a piece of this? Welcome to the eggshells
    I’m barefoot and pregnant to my kitchen, y’ll can help yourselves
    To the feast but tippy-toe away if you can’t take the heat, or over-used clichés
    Back in the days I’d leave you heartbroken
    These days I simply reach into your chest and tear those scars open
    Evaluate appreciation, write you off for tax purposes
    I’d rather be homeless than settle in that worthless nest
