Poltergeist Lyrics by Sketch Eli

S.Y.O.T.O.S.

2017

See, I wasn't just a rapper who had nothing to lose
So when it first came down to rap
I had to choose

Do I live a life
I know I can't handle?
Or do I throw my life away
For a record on my mantle?

Now the Answer
Was probably simple
I said fuck it
I tossed that shit out the window

For a chance to shine
Cause fucker
This ain't your damn life
It's mine
Come venture in my twisted mind

Get up on stage and Shred my set of vocal chords
Because I don't think I even care no more

I'm in a rut
Yes I'm an addict
So what?
Cause Last I checked
I ain't the slut
Gettin rammed in the butt

I'll kick your game like soccer
Got an insult?
I wouldn't even bother
I be making rules
Like I was your father

But if I was your dad
You'd be hit with a brick
Don't call me a dick
Just because my mind's sick

Tell me something I don't know about me
Even though I already just shout it out
See

I'm like a fucking poltergeist
I asked you nice
But once you fuck wit me twice
Then Your ass is iced

I really couldn't give a fuck anymore
To be honest
I just Chucked a Molotov through my boss's door

Now I'm fleeing the scene
Praying I won't be seen
As I bolt down park ave
In my blood stained jeans

Blood stained trees
From sharp meat cleavers
If I were you
I'd watch your six for man eaters
But can reefer
Cause a man to act this way?
I don't fucking know
But honestly it's fun anyway

But all of this energy
From the moment it enters me
Charges momentum
And temporarily

Quite a mother fuckin rarity
That I care at all
I must've took some Fuckitall
When I snorted adderall

I'm having a ball
And laughing at y'all
SoundCloud rappers ain't rapping at all!

And yes I started there
But I'm not a fucking square
I'm my own sound sound
Founded a label
And made it out

Now instead of just rapping
I slaughter my verse
I'll get back to you on whether or not that is a curse

Or a blessing
And yes you're probably guessin
I took too much xanax
Before I started this session

But my main point I'm pressing
Is that I ain't one to cross
Maybe I'll cut my loss
Or maybe I'll cut across

Oceans and hills
See when I take pills
Get Adrenaline chills from how many brain cells it kills

Yes I know I've got skills
I don't rap for the pleasure
I write and rehearse
Just to deal with the pressure

Of a 9-5
Man I'm barely staying afloat
Why you feel the need
To shoot holes in my boat

Actually, I'll dive in and adapt to the climate
I've accepted life as is
Why don't you try it?
