lyrics

Letting You Win (Featuring Ashley Kisner)

[Verse 1]
I just lost my job, I should be mad about it,
but I got a bonfire heart, and so I sat around it,
listened to the words it spoke to me,
and learned this music really ain’t no joke to me,
and I can do anything. Or that’s what they told me as a kid.
I guess the older you get, the less you’re listenin’.
Grew up, and learned the world’s tough, but still ain’t giving in.
If you knew the f*ckin’ waterfall I had to swim against.
Still got a pocket full of fingers grabbing hope.
Oh sh*t, I spent that on parking, and now I’m broke,
but smoke it if you got it, or pour another shot up,
auditors comin’ I’m standing here applauding, never letting you win

[Verse 2]
Heard it isn’t where you from, but where your residence at.
So got my head in holy water and my feet in the casket.
‘Bout to get this country higher than the federal tax,
this what happens when an educated gentlemen raps.
It’s all good though; don’t dwell in the past,
‘cause now I got more shine than Thomas Edison had.
Transcending my past, on my Waldo Emerson path,
until I’m chillin’ next to Ellen in my letterman jacket,
talking modern convention, I’m severing that.
Doing anything less, wouldn’t settle with that.
Better a chance of me whistling Dixie out of my ass,
with our president draped in a f*ckin’ Confederate flag.
If heaven don’t got rap, I’m hoping that they sendin’ me back.
One day my bosses will be quoting my degenerate ass.
No severance package, I’ll be fine though.
If you ain’t noticed I’ve been given gift of rhyme, bro!
Letting you win? Hell no.
