Atmosphere: Shrapnel

[Slug]Shrapnel...I can't remember who asked me, but someone asked meHow long I thought that I would be allowed atop this trash heapI didn't answer cause I'm tired of criticizing the massesInspired the support the devouring of the selfAll the power to the people who dig potholesPlaced me in a glass case full of lost treasures and fossilsGot a right to be hostile, my love is gettin' gang rapedBy an army full money hungry crocodilesQuantity is up, market in a floodBut the party over here has never steered through this much loveI'll take the laughter, but I'd rather have the womenWho am I kiddin'? I'll be content with whatever I'm givin'Work for food, rent, sex, money, or waterI don't know what else that you have to offerYour first born daughter? No need, already got herShe came to the set hungry and left hot and botheredMy posse's full of women, computer nerds, and thugsMuch to my dismay, I'm none of the above.Someday I'ma be the mack of the minuteAnd you were so damn good I'ma have to forget itListen to the mimic, it's almost onDrink, tigga(?) hit me with a tall potion(?)Think quick, how much more insultWill it take for me to break your light bulbShrapnel...[Chorus x2]Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpetIt's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted targetTug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?)Of course I've came to show you shrapnel[Slug]Check your mail, climb your ladderCount the pieces you've managed to gatherDoes it matter? What are you trying to achieve?Let go of your throat if you're dying to breatheAnd finally we've begun to make a little progressAin't a single dock in this river that can stop usLost in the mix like a feeble(?) over dubGot me screaming at these shippin' till these people know what'supYeah Slug's back, but his collection of hub capsCaught a buzzin' brought a notebook full of love rapsOpen the pipes and tuck that voice inI'ma sit on this corner and nibble on my poisonBaby once in awhile I find a reason to smileBut most the time it's spent deep in denialIt's all make believe, I want the cake to eatBut this lake's too deep, tryin' to stand on two feetWonderin' about the thunder runnin' through this bloodI try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snugStudy the love, took my degreeShoved it into a bottle, chucked it into the seaShrapnel...[Chorus x2]Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpetIt's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted targetTug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?)Of course I've came to show you shrapnelShrapnel...[Chorus x4]Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpetIt's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted targetTug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?)Of course I've came to show you shrapnelShrapnel...(repeated to end)I am not ugly (reversed)
