Detective Lyrics

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect

Let's take it back to my humble beginnings

When pops the gambler never brought back a winning

When moms was raking in by batting many innings

Really try to catch my drift and it's meaning

Fended for my self hanging around bad neighborhoods

I truly could have read the fine print like I should

Whole lot of traps and ambushes in those woods

Two eyes in the back of your head wouldn't do you much good

You'd need four to six a few treats and a bunch of tricks

I seen fools talk big and get knocked out with a brick

Sometimes looks and speech simply don't mix

Heard a dude in Chicago eating tamago caught the blick

A bullet through both eyes those eggs split like omelets

You can't find or read about that in any pamphlet

Throat slit over something frivolous if you don't use wits

Walking around with a duffle while carrying a tablet

How thick could you get as an insect flying at toads

You chose to go down the deepest darkest windy road

You heard from a little bird that's where you find cheat codes

Thus ends the first chapter in this backstory mode

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect

By then you'd expect a divorce woulda happened

I was prepared for their marriage to end

To my surprise the relationship was on the mend

Social class rising due to mommas new stipend

Figured out the reason much later

Deep pockets liked ma's demeanor then hired her

Wealthy employer could afford overly paying her

Must be a foreigner with a name like Mista Lunny Monda

Pops got a job with a fat cheque so he couldn't complain

But he was spending it on cleaving his brain in twain

One family night out he gets it in his head that she's cheating

Turns out she only cared about gettin me Ivy league-ing

But as they barked on each other I got a bad feeling

Heard shots and tried warning but they didn't listen

Didn't react to the gang car chase with bullets flying out of windows

I'm still alive because I hit the deck to get down low

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect

This leads to present time where I'm a detective

A PI only paying mind to truth das my directive

More often than not what's true can be subjective

Wanna know what they don't then they lose perspective

Playing this version of clue gets nasty but predictable

Most people look out for themselves as individuals

The honest among them end up downright criminal

What's left is a husk of their former self and it looks pitiful

Moving diagonal when they could go onward and upward

Backstabbing gets rampant and no backs are covered

Your kemosabes body language doesn't match what he answered

Looking at each other crazy when community gets fractured

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect

The cases I select seem to defect my intellect

Who'd suspect my first guess turns out to be correct

To that effect if it's foul play I'll always detect
