Eraser

Sightless in the past, I held onto my faith in you
Couldn't see disaster from afar
Always thought I could rely, but you look so much different without that mask
Used to be boys in class until I woke up
Marked my paint in grass for you to stay back
Hear that crickets, a mass of 'em
Filling the gaps and what I hear about you now I am glad

Rubbin' the eraser on your name as it fades out
Like the boiled misty water that you strain out
You had plenty of time to put your bullshit ways to rest to come to me and complain now
Uh

Flightless in the past
I had to learn how to use these wings
A bat with no vision to a mallard fighting for scraps
I clap back with a quack at those who laughed
Life's sad';til you get up off your ass and tell that motherfucker how you really feel
Tell me more about the dark side of the peel
Tell me more about estates that make you real
Fuckin' jokes

A lotta people wanna take me down
Feel like I'm Che with the old guard bringin' it down
I spent years down bad that was breaking me down
Feel like my dad with the bricks, now I'm layin' 'em down
Cement solid with the ones that would bury me proud
I hope the only time my name comes out your mouth
Is talking 'bout me to your therapist how
You got punked by a punk at the party, like who ordered a clown?

I know who's in ink and I know who's written in lead
And I know who'd keep my hungry mouth fed
And I know who keeps their ways locked in the shed
And I know the real ones who face 'em instead
Oh!

First day of winter, the snow glows up
Then the next few months, the slush shows up
The night before the shots go down
Then the whole next day you're throwing up
I was the one, remember giving you tools
That you abuse now trying to walk in these big shoes
Sounds to me like you wanna be my son

I know who's in ink and I know who's written in lead
And I know who'd keep my hungry mouth fed
And I know who keeps their ways locked in the shed
And I know the real ones who face 'em instead
Oh!

Rubbin' the eraser on your name as it fades out
R-rubbin' the eraser on your name as it fades out
Rubbin' the eraser on your name as it fades out
R-rubbin' the eraser on your name as it fades out
