Violet

Under hesitant flicker of neon glow
Where the trash cans bloom and the needles grow
I wiped that shit off my mouth and I grabbed the dough
(And that's all y'all need to know)

Let the glitter of the burning debris bless me tonight
Is what I thought and inhaled nicotine delight
Screams for my life scripted by deal memos
From the back of a bullet proof steel limo

It ain't nothin' in my life that's been real gentle
'Til the day of your magnificent beer swindle
Told my story, you didn't look at my funny
And the kiss felt like you was payin' me money

C'mon, holla at ya dog, c'mon, holla at ya dog
I must a missed yo' call, c'mon

They said the sparkle in your eyes
Was just 'cause of the daggers
If they wanted us to leave they was gon' have to drag us
Skyscrapers crowded round to watch

As we laughed at the faulty perception of clocks
Every 43 bus stop on foothill could testify
Your middle finger in the air was like blessin' the sky
And the overpass, it shook like a overdose

And the rocks caught the holy ghost
And the wind made the chain links sing falsetto
We made a promise we would never settle
Standin' on a hydrant, you declared it a holiday
Against police and pimps we would have our way

C'mon, holla at ya dog, c'mon, holla at ya dog
I must a missed yo' call, c'mon

The room and that dude had layers of filth
We sprinted out with the cash and got higher than stilts
I wondered if the birds were flyin' to somethin' or flyin' away
You said, "Both" and hit the E and the J

Now, the stars up there are for the few who use 'em
We karate'd down the block like the new solution
Street level, eye level, make your wish
You told me I could write a novel and make us rich

That's the last time I seen your crazy, brown high beams
I'm still in front of that buildin' with the white screen
Stop through for a hot second
Holla back, I don't even want my fifty dollars back

C'mon, holla at ya dog, c'mon, holla at ya dog
I must a missed yo' call, c'mon
