Embers

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Time to strike the match
And let the world combust
No trust
I don't think you feel me enough
When the going gets tough
All my fears erupt
I feel like I know this
Speaking in tongues
Feel the words burning
Etched into my lungs
It's all déjà vu
Between me and you
I don't think there's a fucking thing
You can do

I feel like a million bucks
Maybe its because life moving up
Took a few years but I'm back in the cut
And im done with the slut
So its back to the rut
I used to dream of being well known and famous
Every other rapper stay knowing what my name is
But its been a few phases
And I've changed this
The whole fucking world's
Getting sketch in their faces
Man this feels magic
But I'm done with the parlor tricks
Roll the dice and spin that six
Cause I flipped the mix
I'll Green all the flix
Just to get my fix
Just for kicks
I feel like im trapped
In a studio on Main Street
Back to where I started
Back before I got cold feet
Now I'm living in paradise where the water and the air is nice
No come ups just rare advice
So Excuse me please while I drink this lager
Decked out in Prada n Balenciaga
Dinkin neat Tito's vodka
If you got a fuckin problem id ask why bother
But you know
We're back now to the flow
We're back now doing this shit and it goes
A little something like
A little something like
Ive been doing this shit half my fucking life, goes

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Time to strike the match
And let the world combust
No trust
Cause I don't think you feel me enough
Cause when the going gets tough.
All my fears erupt
I know that im like this
Stay steady with the knife
Just pressed up again like this
It's all déjà vu
And between me and you
there ain't a fucking thing
We can do though

Welcome back now to the rap scene
Spitting so ill I need a vaccine
Local rap fend
Cant shake me off like a bad dream
Part of my scheme was to make y'all scream
Took a few years
Guess it was A hiatus
But im back to make everybody know
What my aim is
Far from famous but farther from nameless
I won't eat or sleep
Until you know what my name is
Watch as I ride this beat like the ocean waves
Tossin MCs face first into open graves
What a day
Feeling ill but I'll be okay
Takes a sick mother fucker to say what I say
But im back now
Emerged back from the background
Bad news out of a black cloud
Headed southbound
Hunting you down like a hellhound
Better chamber your last round
What's up guys
Names Sketch Eli
I've been ready to die
Since two thousand and five
I'm just a bit odd
I don't try to play god
Fate fell in lap
It couldn't be a facade
Welcome one and all
To a day in the life
Of ya boi, Sketch Eli
Sharp wit like a knife
Wanna fuck wit me, don't trife
Cause one thing you learn
Is you only tend to play with your own life

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Time to strike the match
And let the world combust
No trust
Cause I don't think you feel me enough
Cause when the going gets tough
All my fears erupt
It's like ashes to ashes
Just like ashes
And though time passes
It all turns into fragments
It's all déjà vu
And and to tell you the truth
I think ill get capped
On my way out this booth
