In Case I Lose Myself in the Crowd - Denmark Vessey, Cavalier, Goose

Yeah, word

Yeah, word

You done fucked up, I’m home now

The belt self-tightens, the L rollin' itself

Lightin' like, velvet — it felt right

Too many nights hell-bent — motel life

That old scent of unknown

It’s somethin' how my code-switches

Somethin' ‘bout my show scored different, my food thought heavy

Fork lifted, cliché, cat-callin' life a bitch, to address

Form-fitted, winter storm, inner core

But hear me comin' at the door, intercom

Sinners can’t sing along

Pentecost, they make no sense

How sweet the cold, even with the hoes it feel complete

If its too hot Escovitch it’s only 'cause I forgot I got

Bigger fish to free, mystery school in between

Fist full of, «ooh, I wish"'es

Best of the crop of the cream

But it’s chess not checkers

They checked 2Pac, our bishop

You on the block or the box

Who got watch on the queen

Not keeping watch for the throne

If we can’t spot what it means

We bring no peace to the home

Why would not you be true?

Seen crews fall like taco, over ground beef

Stay king of the apostles that surround you

Miss me with all that bullshit, that’s my word

Say the Zim Zala Bim, it’s the crème de la crop

Valley highs, through valleys low, never stopped

Man alive, ghost from the past jumps in the present

The what saved the deal, the toaster

So hold the words you got, if it ain’t food for thought

I’m hungry and bent, and will be til end of days

Let’s hope that the curtain call is startin' to the

End of page, stage left, scene gone wrong

Stage right, won’t leave my brain, I need a change of set and cast and my

character, cast a conductor

A twist of fate for the friendly, or just a break from the cluster

I guess it’s only fam on my phone

No other place to call home

If I can’t find peace of mind, then put a piece to my dome

(Yeah, we been here before

Yo, yeah, we been here before, remember?

Remember?)

So we keep it one-hundred, one stack

One million, I’ve been crawling, I’ve been climbing

Out here trying to make a killing

The sunrise ain’t always sunny

I ain’t foolin' myself

I’ve been down, still I’m proud

I am full of myself

I am weak

We are god

I am dirt

I am stars

C’est la vie

Say I say

Say amen hamdulillah

All my life

I wrote this down

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

Lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

Hey, word

Hey, yo

Hey, yo

Shawty, come my way

Bow-legged, I toss on the turn

Flint water to André

Yeah, and we be

In the age of agua

But this agua here for chocolate

Hottest all the mother-fathers

Can I

Walk a overcast someday?

Can I

Expire from all of these sunrays?

I’m colonizin', can’t complain

I thought a lot to my young days

Move furniture for no fung shui

Hey, fuck all that fist we want gunplay

This is the shoot for the stars

what you lookin' for, or car, nigga

Bouncer stuck me in drools

Disregarded the rules

You can probably credit it

To my rap etiquette

I grew up in the motor

Almost always un-sober

It was Goose mixed with juice

Or Hennessy filled with soda

Wasted Youth was the crew

Grab the hood with the glue

I was taught, «never lie»

Cheat or steal, never cry

Sleep or squeal on your brethren

Was my everyday lesson

Went through everyday stresses

All through my adolescence, uh

So we keep it one-hundred, one stack

One million, I’ve been crawling, I’ve been crying

I’ve been tryin' make a killing

The sunrise ain’t always sunny

I ain’t foolin' myself

I’ve been down, still I’m proud

I am full of myself

I am weak

We are god

I am dirt

I am stars

C’est la vie

Say I say

Say alhamdulillah

All my life

I wrote this down

In case I lost myself in the crowd

In case I lost myself in the crowd

Crowd
