Shell Game Lyrics by Defcee & Messiah Musik

Trapdoor

2021

[Verse 1: Defcee]
Backstreet boy: dust on the Tim toes
Gripping on ya favorite old widow by the hipbone
Condolences for the loss of your kinfolk
Showed up to the funeral in flip-flops and gym clothes
Like, “I’m sorry for your gain.”
Wring rainwater from your pain
Slang like a fat cap marker on the grave. Last
Words to the family of the dead: “Your daughter was a babe.”
Shish kebab your biggest flaw and rip it off your waist
If I like the dish ya ordered, lick it off your plate
Kill and rob, or skim the cost, then tickle torture safes
Fingers that could pick apart a brick-and-mortar face
No one asks how I made the mask
The poison’s in your favorite glass
The antidote I’ma save for last
Keep your smile in a paper bag
[Hook: Defcee]
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
[Verse 2: Alaska]
[Hook: Defcee]
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
[Defcee]
All bets off if the house don't win
All bets off if the house don't win
[Verse 3: Defcee]
Hearts of gold in a war chest
Pulse pumpin' out a polar vortex
Self-care’s like a hymn for the tone deaf
Listen from the inside. It howls at my doorstep
Freddie Krueger claws for the prayer hands
The world’s smallest violinist in an air band
Blood on the smock wave hi to the neighbors
Shere Khan smile for a stranger
Hidin' in the wild with a razor
Slidin' through your savior
Nerves stretched tighter than a taper
Shreddin' paper tigers and daisy chains
David Blainin' your cake for change
Grew a beard swimmin' in a vault
I drink your milkshake, your beer, and your malt
Money on my minefield
Gotcha thinkin you can waste it like time, still
Laughin' to, at, and from the bank
Sticky fingers at the cookout--run your plate
[Hook: Defcee]
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
Cat gon' eat if the mouse gon' grin
Lost your shirt? Then come out your skin
Lost your life? Then we’ll drown your kin
All bets off if the house don’t win
