Honest Living - Marlowe

I’ll make it short

My tale, my story, no embellishments

Open up, in love with the sound

They love when I’m down, they love when I drown

Open up, in love with the sound

They love when I’m down, they love when I drown

Float around town till the engine light flick

As I throw around sounds, tryna to satisfy the itch

Got that southern sound, walk with a talk with a limp

I don’t go above ground 'cause I know they would evict

I don’t wear a crown 'cause my rule too strict

'Nother man down so I moved to the sticks

Just a year past I would never leave the ZIP

Man, I feel so much older that I swear that I forget

Now you know I love to get all they attention

But you know I love to say get out my business

Did a feature and got right up off the benches

All my life I been a leader but just not in this dimension

If you lookin' for a keeper, I can keep you in suspension

Striding on my way to freedom and I haven’t made it inches

Landed on my feet and went to mix it with my kindred

Trying to get relief, you know I’m not the one that’s lendin'

Only time I spend is trying to figure how you made it to the ending

Now-now you play the—

I got a lot of feelings, won’t catch me politicking

No time, the clock is ticking, I still ain’t got my ticket

Now-now-now you play—

Come from where I was risen, can’t make no honest living

I made a modest killing doing what’s not appealing

I have little reason to love my fellow man

Love when I’m down, they love when I drown

Love when I’m down, love when I drown

Love when I’m down, love when I drown

The way man has dreamed of ever since—

Underneath the city with my pockets on empt'

No you never hit me, give you props for the attempt

I don’t need a lot to cut a tie so don’t tempt

All my ice is inside, I forgot to change the temp

Wary of the simps, been ready from the rip

Travel light, got baggage, pack heavy for the trip

Gotta face the sickness, you too scared to bear the witness

Couple pains for the fitness, ask me how I beat the litness

Now I know you only trying to make a difference

But that don’t mean that I’m trying to make it wit ya

Always worried bout the time that I’m spending

Only time I spend is trying to figure how to bend it

I’m just trying to figure how to mix it like a chemist

Get your mind straight, help you get your life splinted

You know it’s guaranteed to never go how you intended

Love me when I’m down but lately I’ve been feelin' lifted

Now-now-now you play the—

I got a lot of feelings, won’t catch me politicking

No time, the clock is ticking, I still ain’t got my ticket

Now-now-now you play the—

Come from where I was risen, can’t make no honest living

I made a modest killing doing what’s not appealing

Now-now-now you play the—

I got a lot of feelings, won’t catch me politicking

No time, the clock is ticking, I still ain’t got my ticket

Now-now-now you play the—

Come from where I was risen, can’t make no honest living

I made a modest killing doing what’s not appealing

Vanish with the quick

Vanish with the quick

Vanish with the quick

Vanish with the quick

I vanish with the quick

You damage, I banish, you pray that I forget

I plan it, they panic, I manage yet again

High off all the lights, all I gave you was a clip

Celebrate the vic then vanish with the quick

You damage, I banish, you pray that I forget

I plan it, they panic, I manage yet again

High off all the lights, all I gave you was a clip

Celebrate the vic then vanish with the quick

I called you together because I have some pictures to show you

Pictures?

What are they?

Look, all of you
