lyrics

This is an iteration of a song I wrote in 2010. But it turns that song on it's head.

HOOK:
All I hear is motherfuckers
fucking each other on the fucking phone
All I hear is bitches
bitching about other bitches while they sitting at home
All I hear is these little kids listening
to the global grid
With nothing to tell them what's different
Ask them what their symbol is

V1:
I don't listen to the news
I don't read the paper
watch it move
what's it gonna do
when you need a taper?
how you gonna lose
how you gonna win
when everything is just another symbol limb
I'm simple too
but don't believe my simple rules
dump on me
dump on you
nobody listens for the truth
only listen for the proof
to put in
I'm talking to the room and talking to the pudding
They tell me to move
but I don't listen
dropping bombs on bonds
I don't give in
I'm a long since gone shot
I don't live in my songs, caught
I live in a single word
it's plainspoke and I'm on the verse
don't diss other rappers
I'm pissed and I'm plastered
say what I want
only question looking backwards
and what comes after

HOOK:
All I hear is motherfuckers
fucking each other on their fucking phones
All I hear is bitches
bitching about other bitches while they sitting at home
All I hear is these little kids listening
to the global grid
With nothing to tell them what's different
Ask them what their symbol is

V2:
I don't listen to people around me
everyone says something
got something to say about drowning
don't criticize rap music
it's a hard craft, takes skill
I'm making music
I'm invested, practice every day
but still I'm just electives
I'm four years away from mastering my alphabet
not sure if I'll make it
or make an outfit out of deaf
I'm death-inspired
in spite of all this fire in my chest
I'm tired
but gotta keep climbing to my best
There was an infinite horizon above my bed
I tried to climb but fell onto the best
I'm on my last dime, all the accounts are emptied
on account of investing myself in sounds a plenty
I can live but I can't make a living
barely floating kicking and I'm hoping
I can catch a drift and go with the wind where ever it's blowing
but I know it's

HOOK:
All I hear is motherfuckers
fucking each other on their fucking phones
All I hear is bitches
bitching about other bitches while they sitting at home
All I hear is these little kids listening
to the global grid
With nothing to tell them what's different
Ask them what their symbol is

V3:
Bridge the gap between verse and bridge and gap in teeth
I'm mapping streets, got a degree in geography
don't speak
(breathe)
Listen again I'm tipping intent
the dimple is dense
a pin ful of tense
a blister that pops
a pistol that stops
the bullets and blocks
a bullet don't stop
pierce the clock
again
---
tripping those hands
the typical man is simple to bend

HOOK:
All I hear is motherfuckers
fucking each other on their fucking phones
All I hear is bitches
bitching about other bitches while they sitting at home
All I hear is these little kids listening
to the global grid
With nothing to tell them what's different
Ask them what their symbol is

BRIDGE:
Ask them what the symbol is X4
(and I proclaim I am the greatest rapper since Hershey himself,
wrapping these words in a package to sell…do it all for myself)

HOOK:
All I hear is motherfuckers
fucking each other on their fucking phones
All I hear is bitches
bitching about other bitches while they sitting at home
All I hear is these little kids listening
to the global grid
With nothing to tell them what's different
Ask them what their symbol is
