Stood pooled in porch light
Cut my shadow off with a dull knife
Whispered in its ear, then sent it off into the night
Set the trap to the mice
The rats, whatever's in the pipes
Corner of ya eye, the edge of the white
That's where I live, I'm set for life
Braise the tripe, never stir the rice twice
Barely roasted pancetta on a fine dice
Your wife said, "Haram," but we already fell from quite a height
This what happened, left to his own device
You'd be embarrassed to know the price (wasn't much)
The bag was light, the rags were still tied tight
There was no particular gripe, I seent a dull crescendo
Stepped over some when it was my turn at the window
Backwoodz single, change on plexiglass
Yeah, that's my jingle
Careful what you ask for, you just might get it
Moms showed us where she kept our passports hidden
Careful what you ask for, you just might get it
Better yet, he keep a couple passports wit' him
Told my ex-wife where I stashed it, just in case
She paused, then she said, "Okay"
Couldn't think of much else to say, a labyrinth is not a maze
That's okay, but that's not the haze
J.D. Salinger, just stay away
Miss Havishim at the drapes
Naked to the waist, aged like grapes
Gutterin' candles, throw shade while we ate
All you heard was knife and fork on the plate
Grainy home movies of him home-rollin' doobies
Pagliacci, how they piled in the fuckin' hoopty
Loopy smile, I ran through the town like Houthi
Wave cap under the kufi, the tea was loose-leaf
Listen, it's all news to me, I'm new in these parts
Pardon to God, I'm just visitin' my niece
Somewhere in the buildin', someone
Somewhere makin' beats Muffle
Cover the mouths of children where you hear the beast
Shuffle to another door, somethin' scuttled along the floor
Belt buckle whip you raw, stood up all night
Every plan had a flaw
Pried every board from the floor
Pride before fall but he fell short
Both hands wrapped in gauze
Stole five from God, your Lord
And I'm just wonderin' what she was thinkin' when she paused
What she was thinkin' when she paused
Careful what you ask for, you just might get it
Moms showed us where she kept our passports hidden
Careful what you ask for (ask for, ask for)
