about

Icky and Daedalus are imprisoned by the government

lyrics

Headed out for a night with the fellas on the ave
In my 64 coupe love the jont with the proper tags
and it’s cool yeah
This is Arbor Day and we need relief
You know the Exxon got em 2 for a dollar them grape swisher sweets\
And we ain’t riding dirty no

So pray for me tonight love
Cuz I’m trying to make it home alive love
Pray for me tonight love
Cuz I’m trying to make it home alive love

Switches on the ave who I’m kidding man
What switches do I have?
Chilling with the window half cracked
Bass on 95 watching the bone take it’s toll
on my people slumped on the sidewalk stroll
Night younger than a muhfukka
Henny in my system water sipping til I’m sober
Temper tapping on my shoulder
Who dat flash
Hand on the ratchet in the holster
I ain’t trying to another poster
Like hey say my name lord
Nigga go head mo slim play thy game
Rights ain’t shit but turns and words
At this juncture so to function
I’m a stay my lane
License and a registration
Insurance in the glove but I’m hesitating
Stick of gum
one black ice tree
The scent it got me numb
It’s the stench from his Nicorette
He reaching for his gun

So pray for me tonight love
Cuz I’m trying to make it home alive love
Pray for me tonight love
Cuz I’m trying to make it home alive love

All up out the window Hollywood Cole
Scuff on your Gucci’s shirt off in the cold
Stanley Tucci, Luciano
You ain’t having it man a whole lot of bravado
Hublot, Movado time is on your side
Chopper in the rental
but your niggas in the ride
Quarter moon in the magazine
Bout to blow
The roof of a NACA it’s a scene
Act II
For the A-R
High points for the scorer
Whole lotta candles
Teddy bears bad auras
Church choirs in the forum
Think pieces and a meme
it all seems foreign til the shots stop pouring
And nobody is toasting
every body running
And they burying their baby on a Sunday morning
And the family in mourning
But they ain’t sittin Shiva
For the next seven days its a whole lot of grieving

So pray for me tonight love
Cuz I’m trying to make it home alive love
Pray for me tonight love
Cuz I’m trying to make it home alive love
