Jean Grae - Swing Blades (feat. Cannibal Ox) Lyrics
f/ Cannibal Ox[Vordul]Everyday caught in the whirlwindsBack in the studio, Belief just earled inStill trying to get my pen onWrite scripts and light splifsUntil we high as light billsWatching for those that might switchTo the dark, we over here remaining righteousThough we spark the soul purpose to spitAnd hype kidsMake them want to hold open their eye lidsDangers and missed origins from way back sinceThe presence of Genesis and OsirusLife is such a stressBut in the coldest storms I let them off in the Phoenix[Jean Grae]Over a thousand miles of public housingLounging on beaches in the Riviera, tan and doused inCoconut scented lotionWish I was there the story rare enough to merit an endangered speciesTagging velvet ropes surrounding every pathTighter than some virgin *****Don't ever push meI balance on the edge of cliffs for funAnd some are hanging crookedI never look down, I look to the skyAnd envision the place that everybody go when they dieThey say that bright lights and angels some and get youIf that's the truth than I expect the black night blocking the sun I got issuesAnother day with myselfAnother day without wealthThere's gotta be anther way I need helpAnd so I pray like I'm a Pentecostal, Sufi, Buddhist, strict agnosticHoping one will hit its targetTake another sip of hypnoticAnd lay my head on the pillow and dream erotic scenesOf killers spilling endless rounds and all of them shooting at me[Vast Aire]You know Can Ox got that Phoenix wing spanAnd love hovering over the ghetto wastelandI got rap just as fat as my waist bandYou got a rap that belongs in a waste canYo, Jean you gotta change Grae to HackmanCuz when we fight we swing them bladesAnd when we rap we swing them bladesAnd then we slide on them like the escapadesI knew the ending of this book since the first pageRap sucks but we still get paidWe smoke trees at the highest gradesI spit a line that'll fix your fadesSo don't go there, you cannot hold AireLook at them, reaching and shitIf you touch my jersey I'll bust your lipOpen your face then break your hip
