Coke, Spoon,Bottle, Beat
Unbothered by school and rejecting all rules
I never tried to be cool just left alone
In a bathroom stall alone or a small box all alone
My momma said I should go see the preacher
Dad said listen to your teacher.theres a difference between being present and being present
Didn’t listen to any of it
The dark pleasures I surely covet
And didn’t I mention I never did see that preacher
I wouldn’t have any of it
And when life was getting hard
And I turned my back to my god
There was only El Diablo there with slicked back greasy hair
telling me that he would be my preacher
And here’s what he said
“Just drink that alcohol sand down the memories you can’t recall
Come here child under my spell I’ll give you you everything all I require is your soul to sell".
So I gave him all my freedom
I traded it for rhythm
picked up a djembe then played imperfect harmonies, with bruised and blistered fingers
was in pain and the frustration surely lingered
Then the devil called me with his finger
And pointed those horns at me and said come hither
Know what he said
All you need is cocaine and alcohol
Once I imbue you, you cannot fall
but first you must forsake love and companionship and all recall.”
The dark one infused a syringe into my vain
then I forsaked them all..
You know what they said??
Nothing
Nothing at all
Nobody cared
