Swing Blades (Explicit)

Swing Blades (Explicit) - Cannibal Ox/Jean Grae

Everyday caught in the whirlwinds

Back in the studio belief just earled in

Still trying to get my pen on

Write scripts and light splifs

Until we high as light bills

Watching for those that might switch

To the dark we over here remaining righteous

Though we spark the soul purpose to spit

And hype kids

Make them want to hold open their eye lids

Dangers and missed

Origins from way back since

The presence of genesis and osirus

Life is such a stress

But in the coldest storms

I let them off in the phoenix

Over a thousand miles of public housing

Lounging on beaches

In the riviera tan and doused in

Coconut scented lotion

Wish I was there the story rare enough

To merit an endangered species

Tagging velvet ropes

Surrounding every path

Tighter than some virgin pussy

Don't ever push me

I balance on the edge of cliffs for fun

And some are hanging crooked

I never look down I look to the sky

And envision the place

That everybody go when they die

They say that bright lights

And angels some and get you

If that's the truth

Than I expect the black night

Blocking the sun I got issues

Another day with myself

Another day without wealth

There's gotta be anther way I need help

And so I pray like

I'm a pentecostal sufi

Buddhist strict agnostic

Hoping one will hit it's target

Take another sip of hypnotic

And lay my head on the pillow

And dream erotic scenes

Of killers spilling endless rounds

And all of them shooting at me

You know can ox got that phoenix wing span

And love hovering over the ghetto wasteland

I got rap just as fat as my waist band

You got a rap that belongs in a waste can

Yo jean you gotta change grae to hackman

Cuz when we fight we swing them blades

And when we rap we swing them blades

And then we slide

On them like the escapades

I knew the ending of this book

Since the first page

Rap sucks but we still get paid

We smoke trees at the highest grades

I spit a line that'll fix your fades

So don't go there you cannot hold aire

Look at them reaching and s**t

If you touch my jersey

I'll bust your lip

Open your face then break your hip
