Paper Plates Economy Lyrics by Ajax the Lesser

Black Orchid

2019

[Verse 1; Ajax the Lesser]
I used to sleep on the same bed from 6 to 16
Lived in the same head all through my sick dreams
Never wished that I was dead, I hoped for an in between
A purgatory of existence
Make my life a machine
Put me on auto pilot
I don’t wanna drive it
I don’t wanna sink it
I don’t wanna fly it
I just wanna hide
Its been so long since i cried
Its insane how everything i would fight it
Bide my time to get by it
Over bite and over diet
Broke but never could buy it
Mama went 4th quarter goat mode
Had learn both the girl and the bro code
Put it all on her back i mean the whole load
In the hopes that i would grow up but never grow cold
Daddy did what does so I’ve been so told
I ante, man, or re up, I’ll never know fold
If he wants the smoke or the gas i am Sunoco
Pops keep u a wife, just let the hoes go
May be young in body but got an old soul
Like my hearts been run ragged like that’s an old sole
I want the Pilsboury dough, boy the whole roll
And if you know what i know, say its a no go
[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
Paper plates economy
Fathers facing sodomy
Become the man that i gotta be
Ain’t no one on top of me
Ain’t nobody stoppin’ me
Become the man that I gotta be
Need my brothers camaraderie
I ain’t winnin’ no lottery
Become the man that i gotta be
Paper plates economy
Fathers facing sodomy
Become the man that I gotta be
[Verse 2: Ajax the Lesser]
6 to 16 is the years that I done blocked out
6 to 16 had all them tears that I don’t talk bout
My memories policed like my brain runs my own cop route
Augmented the copper to seem gold, now that’s a cop out
I bit my tongue to hide the truth of my life
I always shoot at a knife
Always lose when I fight
Cause I’d refuse any light
But chose to recuse from the plight
That came from self abuse and the spite
Fighting to not sue on the site
Holding back the spew when I write
Dear Lord please don’t let me accrue the wrong type
When I move through the night
But I’m battered and bruised
I need to be renewed and I know that I’m due a real cutie in life
[Bridge: Ajax the Lesser]
Man hood is what I learned and what I read
Never really something that I felt that I was bred for
I don’t know what the hell to even head for
[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
Paper plates economy
Fathers facing sodomy
Become the man that i gotta be
Ain’t no one that’s on top of me
Ain’t nobody be stoppin’ me
Become the man that I gotta be
Need my brothers camaraderie
I ain’t winnin’ no lottery
Become the man that i gotta be
Paper plates economy
Fathers facing sodomy
Become the man that I gotta be
