DEPTHS Lyrics by BLKMSK

WE ALL DIE IN THE WEST

2020

[Verse 1]
My boss walked by, she’s looking just like an asshole
Smiling cause she jerks minors for minimum cash flow
Just when I think that I’m about to go Rambo
I call up my man and he says he understands
Wish I could grab in the stash and run away with the cash tho
Ducking under trucks while I’m racing in camo
Stuffing all this luck up inside of my pants, yo
Cuffing up my outfit, but I scraped and the hands broke
But in reality I’m standing at the concession
'Cause my salary makes sure my job ain’t reflecting
Watching all my bosses go and plot their oppression
Seeing people gone soon as they spot their aggression
Listen up, we want your undivided attention
So you can’t see us while we picking shit from your pensions
Stretching out your life with the force of tension
To us you a peasant, don’t try to form a connection
All this contemptment getting contained in my mental
Stuck beneath the surface like it’s stained with a stencil
Pretending picture perfect, bitch I’m painting in pencil
Permanently reassuring me that this is a rental
Knowing every second every minute should be something that’s kept
But I’m counting down the clock that gets me closer to death
And I’m shouting out the topics being told or said
While in my mind I’m just cold in the depths
[Hook]
Dead cold in the middle, in the depths, I’m brittle
Taking little baby steps but it’s pressing the griddle
Past the point of no return, someone testing the whistle
Think I’m sinking to the depths
Dead cold in the middle, in the depths, I’m brittle
Taking little baby steps but it’s pressing the griddle
Past the point of no return, someone testing the whistle
Think I’m sinking to the depths
[Verse 2]
Now let’s see, minimum wage 7.25 an hour, that’s 290 a week
Take away about twenty for your half hour breaks
For a month, that’s over 1K, you still saving some treats
But wait, the state takes away about 10 percent
And more depends on what you get off your health insurance
I’m sure it’s bout 80 dollars, now you’re saving nada
'Cause your paycheck comes by, 400 each time
800 a month, rent is 500 for one bed and bath apartment
And I bet you’re starving, so you gotta choose between that and darkness
But don’t forget the car shit!
You got 300 dollars to purchase your bare needs
And how the fuck you gonna buy those earrings
Uncaring government that wants you to face death
They don’t care how, but they want you in the depths
[Hook]
Dead cold in the middle, in the depths, I’m brittle
Taking little baby steps but it’s pressing the griddle
Past the point of no return, someone testing the whistle
Think I’m sinking to the depths
Dead cold in the middle, in the depths, I’m brittle
Taking little baby steps but it’s pressing the griddle
Past the point of no return, someone testing the whistle
Think I’m sinking to the depths
