Detective Lyrics by Banquer

2023

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect

Let’s take it back to my humble beginnings
When pops the gambler never brought back a winning
When moms was raking in by batting many innings
Really try to catch my drift and it’s meaning
Fended for my self hanging around bad neighborhoods
I truly could have read the fine print like I should
Whole lot of traps and ambushes in those woods
Two eyes in the back of your head wouldn’t do you much good
You’d need four to six a few treats and a bunch of tricks
I seen fools talk big and get knocked out with a brick
Sometimes looks and speech simply don’t mix
Heard a dude in Chicago eating tamago caught the blick
A bullet through both eyes those eggs split like omelets
You can’t find or read about that in any pamphlet
Throat slit over something frivolous if you don’t use wits
Walking around with a duffle while carrying a tablet
How thick could you get as an insect flying at toads
You chose to go down the deepest darkest windy road
You heard from a little bird that’s where you find cheat codes
Thus ends the first chapter in this backstory mode

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect
I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect

By then you’d expect a divorce woulda happened
I was prepared for their marriage to end
To my surprise the relationship was on the mend
Social class rising due to mommas new stipend
Figured out the reason much later
Deep pockets liked ma’s demeanor then hired her
Wealthy employer could afford overly paying her
Must be a foreigner with a name like Mista Lunny Monda

Pops got a job with a fat cheque so he couldn’t complain
But he was spending it on cleaving his brain in twain
One family night out he gets it in his head that she’s cheating
Turns out she only cared about gettin me Ivy league-ing
But as they barked on each other I got a bad feeling
Heard shots and tried warning but they didn’t listen
Didn’t react to the gang car chase with bullets flying out of windows
I’m still alive because I hit the deck to get down low

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect
I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect

This leads to present time where I’m a detective
A PI only paying mind to truth das my directive
More often than not what’s true can be subjective
Wanna know what they don’t then they lose perspective
Playing this version of clue gets nasty but predictable
Most people look out for themselves as individuals
The honest among them end up downright criminal
What’s left is a husk of their former self and it looks pitiful
Moving diagonal when they could go onward and upward
Backstabbing gets rampant and no backs are covered
Your kemosabes body language doesn’t match what he answered
Looking at each other crazy when community gets fractured

I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect
I was starting to regret the path that I chose to perfect
The cases I select seem to defect my intellect
Who’d suspect my first guess turns out to be correct
To that effect if it’s foul play I’ll always detect
