All The Greats Are Dead Lyrics

Yeah, uh, uh, uh

This that Halliburton '03

Shoot your fucking face off at a quail hunt shit

Yeah, yeah, uh, uh

Check, one, two

All my homies chosen

Dozing off to Stokely readings or to Michael Rosen

My penmanship is ripe for the posing

Beggin' for atonement

Opponents couldn't flow this

But I'll always lose the charts to Adonis

Thai iced tea sippin'

Wok already seasoned

I'm in a tight squeeze like roasted garlic

Dish already piquant

Only time I make my living's on the weekend

Leisurely breezin'

No need to ease in the burnt ends

Just throw 'em in

Most people need to get toasted for the bread

Yet another toast to the scumbags from the feds

Nothin better than a well read bitch who gives head

And prepares the hemlock for when you get roasted in the threads

Don't give a fuck 'bout who's lining my pockets

In the end it all comes down to if you tread water or walk it

Sign a record deal and the art becomes a docket

Label agents staring at me with shut windows and empty sockets

Sky's blinding with flocks of burning rockets

The firmament is brittle, so make sure to not knock it

Wind blowin' on the dock, jeans catchin' vomit

When I'm working on a project I'mma cook it, then lob it

Shit, my graduation gown's crumpled in my closet

And the money I received still waitin' on deposit

The only ghosts left are specters of shitty gossip

Take gossamer thin hatred and play it out like it's hot shit

And to think I thought I couldn't live without 'em

How come all the pretty people always got some shit about 'em?

If I had a nickel for every time, I'd have thousands

Took a damn long time, but I've peaked the crest of the mountain

But I just keep laughing from the lead

The path I plan to take has already been well tread

It's hard to write honest when it's already been said

And I struggle to learn more because all the greats are dead

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

Shit, I feel the need to try and rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

Shit, I know it's greedy but I want to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

I do it for the love but I'll still snort their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes

And you act like I'm supposed to rise from their ashes
