lyrics

Intro:
It’s what it is kid
It’s what it is kid
It’s what it is kid
Double 2’s, twenty blues [22-20 blues] watch you’re lid kid
It’s what it is kid
It’s what it is kid
It’s what it is kid
Double 2’s, twenty blues [22-20 blues] watch you’re lid kid

Verse:
Knows his dome hideous, the kid Sisyphus
Holding up the rock like its sock money
He’s got the habits of a fifty-clam president
Odysseus, quick-witted, gripping a fifth, the kid can spark a cannon

He’s Robert Johnson spitting rhymes at the cemetery
He’s Van Zandt digging graves to get a pawn ticket
He’s nice with it, crooning blues penitentiary
Feeding pigeons, a smidgeon of clay back-handed

On the Greyhound bus with all the fat ladies
Cigarette smoke smells in the backseat
Cleveland to Detroit is something wealthy people
Wouldn’t call prayer while throwing glares like the sun’s heat
He holds a Choco-taco like a glass of Lagavulin (Oh shit!)

Heavy rumored buying Bitcoins with Kohl’s cash (head-crack!)
Up in Lynn, they call him Nomar Garcia-Kafka
He’s Jimmy Page to Contessa Von Zeppelins
Doug Stanhope, he Popov’s like Vodka

He holds a bone-handle, like the gat a chicken-wing
A DOOM cartoon, like mama I want to sing
There’s something arrogant the way he cause embarrassment
To everyone he works against, the peons up to management

They call him Barracuda, Bishop of Bermuda
Always had a torcher on his side named Yuka
Rhyme schemes fizzy like a high-ball’s ingredients
Expedient with beats, he gets em freaks disobedient

A pale-faced kid, with bad nose and steak ears
Crazy on the mic like De Niro up in Cape Fear
Spitting havoc like a pair of automatics
Kid his cherry-wood verbiage smacks the breath up out ya attic

He takes his brandy with champagne, reefer the same way
Cigarette tips on lips cocaine stained
Filling glasses to the brim
Whether Chartreuse, or Grey Goose, or Number Five Pimm’s

Known to throw bows at the rising of the moon
Having wads in his pocket that could choke a raccoon
Sheer-stocking ladies wearing hand-carved shoes
They been slipping kids the mickey while he twenty-three skidoos’
Outro:
Uhh - It’s what it is kid
It’s what it is kid
We’re turning off lights Teddy P style
Kid Sweeps undefeated for a while
It’s what it is kid
