Headliner Lyrics by Sammus

Pieces in Space

2016

[Verse 1]
I’m kinda cold
I been told I ain’t dope enough
Just another opener
I’m hopin’ though
To go as pro as Oprah
Promoters don’t be knowing
So we going toe-to-toe
And rope-a-doping bro
I’m GI Joe they Cobra
Fe-fi-fo I’m growin though
Keep on flowing
Over dope beats and my peeps hella deep like the Coppolas
Spittin’ heat on my overdubs
Want to find peace on the beach in the breeze eating coconuts
I’m tryna slide a little higher on the flyer
Finally getting kinda nice got my rhyming looking tighter
So my writing justifies every line up on the rider
Booking gotta cover flights and a couple overnighters, yeah
If I said it once
Said it ten times
Gotta have some guts
If you headline
Gotta make ‘em trust in your end rhymes
You could still get fucked like it’s hentai
If you don’t get the bucks you’ll be crust in the breadline

[Chorus]
Bright lights posted on the marquee
Ready for the nightlife hosting every party
Ready for my close up
Now we got the toast up
Then nobody shows up
Pardon me, I’m sorry I’ll leave
Pardon me, I’m sorry I’ll leave

Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la

[Verse 2]
Living in the land of keystrokes and passwords
Cheat codes, amiibos, and actors
In the real world I swing low for black nerds
Lift up my kinfolk my back hurts
Now I’m blowing up
Those who wasn’t showing love
Seem to believe they can eat from my Cocoa Puffs
Tryna fiend for my solo cup
I’mma get mean like Ali to compete for the Golden Gloves
Yeah, people telling many lies
Lotta local friends they ain’t never seen my live
Only on the internet, yeah I call ‘em CGI
They can suck my puddy tat, yeah I call ‘em tweety pie
They ain’t never comin thru it be killin’ me Smalls
But maybe I’m a fool I’m givin’ too many props, yeah
Most humans they will prove to be flops
After all I’m just another opportunity cost

[Chorus]
Bright lights posted on the marquee
Ready for the nightlife hosting every party
Ready for my close up
Now we got the toast up
Then nobody shows up
Pardon me, I’m sorry I’ll leave
Pardon me, I’m sorry I’ll leave

Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
Ay-la-ay-la-ay-la ay ay ay ay ay-la
