Ashes Lyrics by Sketch Eli

The Spin Cycle

2016

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Political corruption
Cities left in rust

Another white rapper bites the dust
Another white rapper bites the dust
But you don't wanna trife with us
In this city of thieves, sanity's gone corrupt

It's like ashes to ashes
Just like ashes
____

Momma never raised no fool
This is true
What could be the worst thing
To happen to you

Could it really be
That you're too blind to see
The world around you fell
Back in 2003

We live on the ashes
And the burial ground
Where our ancestors snuffed a race
Without a sound

I would've drowned
In this sea of despair
But I'm passed the point of livid
Rippin out my hair

Fuck off a bit
Freestyle some shit
And if you don't like it
Rub my metaphorical clit

Like I said homie
This ain't no regular walk in the park
Walk the streets of my town
Alone in the dark

Anyway fellas
Let's go back to the shed
Put a Kevlar vest on
To shoot myself in the head

And you're probably thinkin
What the mother fuck could this cracker be drinking

Jokes on you, sucka
I slipped into heavens gate
And stole the kool aid and drank it
Now I'm dead weight

Or am I dead
Wait

Nope still alive
Goddamn it I tried

I guess I'm just a walking paradox
Beat off to me like I'm a fuckin pair of socks
I'll go and Lock my door, I'll give up music
When a parent knocks
______

Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Volcanic eruption
Cities left in rust

Another white rapper bites the dust
Another white rapper bites the dust
But you don't wanna trife with us
In this city of thieves, sanity's gone corrupt

______________________

I'll tie both my arms to two cars
Ride down Hollywood blvd shooting these stars

Wow
Crazy mother fucker
Couldn't handle the facts
Your music sucks ass
This why you dropped outta class?


It goes Ashes to ashes
I dropped acid and aced every single one of my classes

Subs got me moving slower than molasses
Fuck making music appropriate for the masses

Fuck sounding professional
Sound like I got a head cold and I'm proud of it

I'm on cloud 9
No wait, I'm above it
I'm beyond lit
So Bump my music you dumb shit
____
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Got a fully loaded clip
Just ready to bust

Another white rapper bites the dust
Another white rapper bites the dust

Ashes to ashes
I don't know what's going on
I need a new pair of glasses

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Ashes to ashes

______

I got a question
If everyone here has learned their lesson
Then there should be no need for all of this stressin

Testing scores higher than jet planes
What type of blood keeps pumping through my veins

I'm a musical virgin
So pop my cherry
Meanwhile looking for a worthy adversary

Who can, handle all the shit I throw
No matter the rain Hails sleets or snow

I'll never get a fucking grip
Maybe that's why I got two gats strapped to either side of my hip

Like a needle
Don't slip
This is one high you'll never come back from
So Don't even trip

Goddamnit I'm back again
I can never leave
So I sit in this corner
Spider webs I weave

We only got one life
Or so they say
Live life like you're trying to die the sketchy way
