dead people

You remind me of a nigga I once knew
24-karat 'round the wrist like a handcuff
Cruisin' down my avenue
Padlocks on his back pockets
Never let a nigga run through
Cinder blocks in his eye sockets
Vision blurry from the revenue
Where'd he go

Do I see dead people
I think I see dead people
Why do I see dead people
I

You remind me of a nigga I once knew
Corroded bullets from the skies when he cries
God herself grips the M2
Busy tryna' vaporize his disguise
Missing puzzle pieces, missing screws
Dizzy tryna' plagiarize butterflies
Broken mirrors spilled out his cocoon
You remind me of a nigga I once loved
Bruised knuckles, bruised eyes, bruised thighs
Nigga's native tongue was Push 'N Shove
Fables fell from in between his lips
Shining armory, vanilla doves
I drowned every time he sank the ship
All to float right back up
Float right back up
Where'd he go

Do I see dead people
I think I see dead people
Why do I see dead people
I

You remind me of a, once, oh
Corroded bullets from the skies when he cries, missing, oh, oh
You remind me of a, once, oh
Bruised knuckles, bruised eyes, bruised thighs, vanilla, oh, oh

I keep leaving a key under my welcome mat
(You remind me of a, once, oh)
I can't seem to quit leaving a key under my welcome mat
(Corroded bullets from the skies when he cries, missing, oh, oh)
In case you ever find your sanity and want to come back
Come back, oh, oh
I keep leaving a key under my welcome mat
(You remind me of a, once, oh)
I can't seem to quit leaving a key under my welcome mat
(Bruised knuckles, bruised eyes, bruised thighs, vanilla, oh, oh)
In case you ever find your sanity and want to come back
Come back, oh, oh, oh

Do I see dead people
I think I see dead people
Why do I keep running to dead people
Why
