Tar Baby
[Verse 1: billy woods]
If'n Imma tell it, Imma tell it true (tell the truth)
If'n I go to hell Imma come back following the moon
I made a sale, no need to say to whom
Then they wanna do the same thing again times two (hmm)
Seems like it's too soon
Seems like it's too good to be
You already know what to do
You already-
I know how to move
I ended up in the gutter but brother, I grew up where the grapefruit spooned
I said less when I was the smartest n***a in the room
I made myself small, I whistled past the tombs
So small, nobody hardly noticed mе coming through
So small, I lost sight of myself for a few
Police ovеrlooking the kid like what we had there in school
Y'all fucked up thinking it's show and tell my n***a it's show and prove (still)
The guys made a lot of noise, whooptie whoo
On my birthday, I seen one of the boys I used to knew on the news
Dismembered body identified by the tattoos
I checked on it over the years past, it's never nothing new, it's never nothing new (it's never nothing new)
There by the grace of God go you-know-who (you know who)
If'n Imma tell it, Imma tell the truth


[Interlude: Mattie]
They use [?]
Elevator pitches don't work no more
Need a longer story
To fill the ears of short attention spans
And microwave business plans
Too many fuck n***as and hoes in polyester
Weak ass [?]
[Verse 2: E L U C I D]
Didn't ask to be here
Fully loaded
You can't choose your family
80's baby
Razor in a candy
Can it be? Act like you know
Work flow hands free
Killing time, stock pantry
Ancient grains, let me count the ways
Who parts unscathed
We found numbers on the board
The points to shave
Tell my horse "you can't run away"
You can't run away
Inside voice, walls rot thinner
Moonwalk, Holding left loafer, catching splinters
Doom scrolling in a sprinter van
Far from home
I'm a [?] in the hinterlands
Curses call, tongues
So called scorned, fell at his feet
In the dark speak
Under authority
It's taken all of me
It's taken all of me
Bottom of the hole
Looking all blue
Letting the records reflect
