EAST - Earl Sweatshirt

Double back when you got it made

30 racks of weed, no fat in the collard greens

Off top was me — no cap, I don’t bottle things

Flashin' grandmama rings on her fingers

I’m fond of them things

Father, we gleam

I’m ominous of James Harden-D

Weak niggas guardin' will peak

Followers just like me

I lost my phone and consequently

All the feelings I caught for my GF

My hands was on the wings

I took 'em off, not a story

Careen against the bars

My canteen was full of the poison I need

The trip as long as steep

My innocence was lost in the East

Amidst the thick exhaust

Hockey, hit the heart — it beat

Mention my sin is strong

We all that we need

But don’t call me brother no more

I keep my sentences short

Stack Pendleton keep me warm in the winter

Ksubi’s cuff done hit the floor

Doobie Brothers where the city morgue

Who would truly love a visit from us?

My soul and my heart

All in it, keep fishing

Gone, the macabre finish

And miss my Pop dukes, might just hit me

Depending how I play my cards

The wind whispered to me, «Ain't it hard?»

I wait to be the light shimmering from a star

Cognitive dissonance shining and the necessary venom restored

As if it matters if you think it matters anymore

Cause shit be happening with quick results

They couldn’t fathom all the damage that had to get done

Pig was in a barrel, we cookin' up

Don’t get a sparrow, no harrowed runics in that damn tomb

And a share of deadly flowers bloom

Holler rabidly, we stare at you

And say a prayer

Let’s take it there like carrier pigeon

50,000 roots, none of them rigid

Some of them wicked, how they grew
