Ratos

We don’t make deals with rats
No matter how much they tried to negotiate with me
I had to handle my own with my words
I ran away to avoid signing with the devil
In my ear, he whispers low
In the other ear, there’s an angel talking, calm
Maybe I need to remember the Psalm
Like it was back when my grandpa was alive
I’m crazier now, even without a diagnosis

Still, I gotta keep it together
With that ass, she’s always cheering me on
She catches my eye, clapping her hands
She wants to be the star of the show
I drank that Henny and didn’t feel bad
Leaving the studio, I need the bounce
Time and time again, bitten by salt
Babes and babes wanting my house
I slept deep, barely dreaming
Remembered my memory’s slip
Said fuck it and lit the blunt
Fire, it was fire, it was lit
Gasoline, lighter, and straw
So many brands, so many designers
No stylist, I’m the one running this game
They dream, they think I’m playing
At one point, it was so many hundreds, but it was so many hundreds
Feels like I crashed the casino
Mind thinking about money, thinking about money
Doesn’t even seem like I’m short on cash
Before this goes south, before it breaks down
I swear I’m gonna get rich

We don’t make deals with rats
No matter how much they tried to negotiate with me
I had to handle my own with my words
I ran away to avoid signing with the devil
In my ear, he whispers low
In the other ear, there’s an angel talking, calm
Maybe I need to remember the Psalm
Like it was back when my grandpa was alive
I’m crazier now, even without a diagnosis

I don’t remember the first sin I committed
I just know I did a bunch
It felt like I was writing life with chalk
Of course, it was gonna go wrong
I regret some sins I’ve made
I found myself addicted to alcohol
I overcame by getting back on stage
I’m not that weak guy anymore
You won’t be giving me advice
How many suffered with me?
How many ran away?
Didn’t speak ill in the eyes of God
Now it’s gotten harder, will there be enough left?
We’ll have to start over from the beginning
