Grace [Purgatory Amos]
[Intro/Hook: Shank (deM atlaS)]
Her name is Grace (uh huh)
And she left a long time ago (left a long time ago)
Her name is class (class)
And she skipped town (she skipped town)
My name is confidence (name is confidence)
Beat me down to the ground (beat me down to the ground)
My name is second chance (yeah)
Give me all that you got
[Verse 1: deM atlas]
Do it never simple
Doo-wop like Shirley Temple
Black, who isn't black
Laying jacks on Sally's lap
I'm picking your mind like I'm digging through cabinets in the cubicle struggling to find something useful to me
I see..
What you been up to?
Honey, I don't trust ya
I barely trust myself now let me get my belt to hang my fucking self and leave this fucking realm
I kill time that's 9 to 12 hands landed on 1 o clock
Took a couple shots at a bar stumbled into my red car
Somebody has a monkey horn
Yelling telling me who to be which is a monkey
None of your bullshit be funny to me
[??] smile I grin
I pretend to pretend that I'm not blocked in
Boxed in working forgot to clock in
Where in the fuck is the hole to stick my cock in
Because this erection is not stopping
My dick is not hardened
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Shank]
Back and forth on the cold hard wood
Trying to shed a little light maybe the stars could
Break through the clouds then we would be allowed
To see that we are proud of the outcome
How come we can't see the forest with the trees
How come you can't talk to God unless you're down on your knees
How come we question everything in front of us
Then again why wouldn't you - that's my question
There's no lesson - no deep seeded message
I'ma set the table - you invite the guests and
We'll break bread - discuss what frustrates us
What makes us bond together - what makes us break up
I recently discovered that I never was in love
I mean I was, but it wasn't right
You got a sense of humor life
It's pointless to play the blame game
You know who you are, so I don't have to name names
She's a metaphor that I call Grace
And when I put her on the shelf is when I put her in her place
[Hook]
