Carousel - Dead Silent

I don’t need sleep, I don’t need no medicine

I don’t need beats to compete with anyone

I don’t read sheets, I don’t read no letters

I don’t need your whatever when the feast don’t ever end

Reinvent the bulb like edison

Addict to adrenaline

Keys don’t seem to be relevant

Rhythm on lock, unreleased in evidence

Lyrics kinda dark with the flow so delicate

Ears like an elephant

Fear’s what you represent

You can spit but you steer from the elements

Veer from the eloquence

I do it with elegance

Lincoln to the game, get sheared like the president

Deer in the dead of night

Smeared in the headlights

You don’t ever live in the moment then you’ll be dead twice

Pressed for time and in debt for life

Don’t dress for church but I bless the mic

I suffer more than I care to write

You pucker more than you ever bite

I embrace the future and present time

You’re going home and you press rewind

Dread lives where I’m breathing so what’s your excuse?

Spend a couple grand on marketing and then we’re bored of you

Are you on the varsity team or are you the water dude?

Your name has got a dollar to it, I’m capping it

You’re a Capulet and I’m a Montague

Please decide on your weak design

If I heave on sight don’t be surprised

Got an alter ego riding in the seat beside me

With an evil plot that he devised

Can’t read your mind, but I’ll peak inside

Crossed lines, that visa might be denied

It’s a vicious road if you didn’t know

Please fix your flow, cause it reeks of mine

Rappers wanna talk like they can save rap

Fronting like a Rose but they don’t save Jack

Want up on the same track

Your live performance, all backtracked

If your mic was on you may collapse

Let me shed some light like a Rayovac

Collabs, Dead Silent don’t play with that

Imma go out on a limb like Anakin

Quitting my job, don’t tell my management

Eat a rapper when I feel so ravenous

Family stops and they all start panicking

When I say that Imma really chase that

Imma get a face tat, needle in a haystack

No 808s

I’ll remain opaque

No rap hero, no save the day

Pretend that my job is A-okay

With the chance that I’m getting laid off today

Put down the mic and just walk away

No rap career, just awful pay

Gimme your two cents, it’ll drain the bank

Giddy up, high horse can’t support my weight

Good grief, ego fragile as a razor blade

Got a date with grace or a fate to face

Only lay to waste if my paperweight breaks

Can’t escape from my great escape

Never been a parent but I raise the stakes

Don’t take the bait, what a grave mistake

People wonder what they have in common with me

Awkward kid that spits bars so gritty

Conversation starters foster pity

Fathers sorry if your daughter’s pretty

Service sent where your purpose ends

Thoughts surfacing like water lilies

I’m a nervous wreck with worthless debt

But I’m a tourniquet to an artery

Incarcerated

These words that don’t fit, let em slip in moderation

Locked creations

Never needed no keys, I just need to know the combination

Hard debate if I should go all out on stage dressed in my far belated

Concentrated on what I’m not, then you really don’t belong in the conversation

You feel obligated to send a message

But the population was not affected

Paramount spiels with irrelevant ideals

Don’t tell us you’re real, that should be expected

Fell in love with a game misrepresented

And the craft feels disrespected

Don’t want to be subjective

But please subject these new freaks to the culture that we neglected
