Layman’s Terms Lyrics by Aspects(Band)

Left Hand Path

2013

[Verse 1: Mantis]
Hit the dough and I'm straight out
Peeps shout ''Well done'' but this ain't a steakhouse
Keep it radical, no sabbatical
No [?] [?] can link to collateral
In an art form born but latent
I'm a layman awaiting payment
In the workplace I'm a secret agent
A gender end enslavement

[Chorus: Mantis, Sample]
I'm a layman awaiting payment
I'm a layman awaiting payment
I'm a layman awaiting payment
My pay awaits
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five

[Verse 2: Mantis]
You're scrambling tryna wrangle in
To any scene you can get an angle in
Best take a hike, you rambling
I'll get your head lopped off like Anne Boleyn
I'll leave that shit just dangling
You middle men must speak Mandarin
Not my language, I speak anguish
For the every man
So let your head hang in defeat
Hand us a beat
I fire off but not radish and meat
I wanna stand on the beach
And spit grit like I've got sand in my teeth
Oh yeah and your cheeks
Did you not get the memo
My team [?] was your demo
Your mum's hole my own bordello
I leave that place feeling oh so mellow

[Chorus: Mantis, Sample]
I'm a layman awaiting payment
I'm a layman awaiting payment
I'm a layman awaiting payment
My pay awaits
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five

[Verse 3: Mantis]
Promoters need to pay like Paul Daniels
Else wind up with some legal wrangles
Try and rinse me man the [?] [?]
Oh look making me get you fangled
Breaking up hash like oxo granules
It's all gravy nah ya plain lazy
This town, you don't get a pound 'till you pay me
My eyes on the guy with the cash looking cagey
Hello matey, wakey wakey
Rise and shine looking flakey
Toothbrush, toothpaste ain't it tasty
'O's you Steven you look shakey
Brush the spawns with the spondoolies
[?] [?] [?] might crush your goolies
You dude it gets unruly
I know why not try to sue me

[Chorus: Mantis, Sample]
I'm a layman awaiting payment
I'm a layman awaiting payment
I'm a layman awaiting payment
My pay awaits
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
I ain't messing with no nine to five
