I set it up, you knocked it down, lay the foundation, I built this house[00:04:05]

I feel cracks underneath my feet, I feel cracks underneath my feet[00:04:05]

The walls are breathing heavy, sucking up the oxygen with no plans of leaving any[00:04:05]

For as long as I’ve been hoarded, it’s taking me forever to gather up all my belongings[00:04:05]

I get attached, near attached to people who I’ve loved and lost[00:04:05]

Even though I gotta admit, there are few who’ve run me off[00:04:05]

But I’m under no illusion how relationships get ruined[00:04:05]

How I’m ancient to this movement when I’m just stuck to a cross[00:04:05]

Tossed into the underworld and give in specific info[00:04:05]

Forced to find another girl, sick of living in limbo[00:04:05]

But I have my songs to play so I got lost along the way[00:04:05]

And now I’ll never see the light of day thanks to the tinted Limo[00:04:05]

I was hopelessly romantic, emphasis on antic[00:04:05]

Now run hopeless along the open coast of the Atlantic[00:04:05]

Bought an overcoat that says “Francis, Showboat captain”[00:04:05]

Did my best to scrub it off cause it’s utterly embarrassing[00:04:05]

Every night I’d re-write my will on a sandbar napkin[00:04:05]

I’d crash after sticking it to the window of my cabin[00:04:05]

Once I awoke I’d notice it, read it then remove it[00:04:05]

Just stunned I left nothing to my loved ones but music[00:04:05]

Muses abandon me while choosing family over continued support[00:04:05]

For my intuitive thought, who would’ve thought?[00:04:05]

Worst thing I ever did to another person in this world is nothing[00:04:05]

Only a few can claim that’s what I did when I could have done otherwise[00:04:05]

Every single last one of them sang for nothing-types[00:04:05]

Made me pay the price at any cost, I’ve got buyer’s remorse[00:04:05]

How many toxins will the doctors find inside this corpse?[00:04:05]

Suicidal watch it’s diamond studded[00:04:05]

Tells me when my time’s up, trying to keep my eyes from it[00:04:05]

It’s so swag, I flash it at the fashion shows[00:04:05]

Walks with a limp, it’s so pimp, and it smacks the hoes[00:04:05]

Rappers used to brag about intelligence, made me want to be smarter[00:04:05]

Then I harbor no regrets, whether it sells or not is irrelevant[00:04:05]

I would have sold coke if making dough was the sole motive[00:04:05]

It wasn’t but f**k being a broke poet[00:04:05]

Without paying debts, begging friends for loose ends[00:04:05]

If your so-called talent only results in loan extensions[00:04:05]

There’s no defenses, or buyouts, you don’t get a per diem for good intentions[00:04:05]

Do you want to sign now?[00:04:05]

Promise that a job doesn't define you as a person[00:04:05]

If your words don’t carry weight, it’s not the worlds burden[00:04:05]

And in no certain terms am I suggesting that you shouldn’t set fire to the stage and let the curtains burn[00:04:05]

Just be aware of the exits[00:04:05]

Keep in mind that the closest one might be behind you, the entrance[00:04:05]

in the event that I can’t live better as an honest rapper[00:04:05]

Without my past self being my benefactor[00:04:05]

I set it up, you knocked it down[00:04:05]

I set it up, you knocked it down[00:04:05]

I set it up, you knocked it down[00:04:05]

I set it up, you knocked it down[00:04:05]

You laid the foundation, I built this house[00:04:05]

Gamble away my better half in hopes of doubling up[00:04:05]

is a double or nothing, I laughed, I was sh*t out of luck[00:04:05]

But what have I got to lose? At least I’m whole now[00:04:05]

Half man, half clone, the bad composite sketch of a one-hundred percent asshole[00:04:05]

But it wasn’t without help, many people did their part[00:04:05]

To make me take the time to Frankenstein was ripped apart[00:04:05]

And put it together again, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men[00:04:05]

Couldn’t admit that this was a predicament they put me in[00:04:05]

You want a piece of this? Welcome to the eggshells[00:04:05]

I’m barefoot and pregnant to my kitchen, y’ll can help yourselves[00:04:05]

To the feast but tippy-toe away if you can’t take the heat, or over-used clichés[00:04:05]

Back in the days I’d leave you heartbroken[00:04:05]

These days I simply reach into your chest and tear those scars open[00:04:05]

Evaluate appreciation, write you off for tax purposes[00:04:05]

I’d rather be homeless than settle in that worthless nest[00:04:05]
