lyrics

Poison Flower

(Verse 1)
Snatched out my drunk sleep, hot water ta grill
Incoherent, she flippin out like Karen Hill
Tears streamin, steady screamin you a piece shit
You dirty dick muthafucka, you been fuckin that bitch
Still illin off the tequlia, aint feel the first hit
Just stunned, like I know hun aint just bust my shit
Fam-o she threw a combo 2 piece wit no bread
And lost her balance, I threw her ass off a da bed
I fuckin snapped & took it back Harlem Nights
Snatched her quick, told her Oh bitch you wanna fight
So twisted with emotion aint notice the bitch is smilin
It’s almost like she feed off drama & violence
I loosened up my grip, and pinned her ass to the chase
She just looked up with a smile & said don’t bruise my face
She thinks this shits a game and I aint tryn ta play
Even New Edition say Love shouldn't hurt this way

(Verse 2)
Stepped into her bathroom ta catch a breather
How we go from Martin & Gina ta Ike & Tina
I'm Starin in the mirror tryn ta check the damage
She jumped on me like we porno stars in front of a camera
You goin fuck me muthafucka and it bet not be weak
Wants me ta choke her while I stroke on the bathroom sink
Now I look back and think fights was off the handle
Then we'd do it like they do on the discovery channel
I used to blame it on the liquor, nigga shits an excuse
See the truth is, she confused love with abuse
Gotta hit you, gotta quit you, cuz that shit don't work
It just escalates til one of us is seriously hurt
Or one is in the dirt, the other knocked for life
See she taught me the meaning to Love, Hell, or Right

. “My style of Hip Hop is grungy samples over boom bap percussion with razor sharp turntable techniques" “When it comes to emceeing, I’m a thinker I look at it like a published author writing a book, it’s all about vocabulary and being descriptive. The thing about Hip Hop is you actually get hear the novels with an orchestrated background to set the mood for whatever chapter/track you’re on." ... more
