Deathwish Lyrics by Tommy Ill

2013

[Verse One: Tommy Ill]
Big hands that will strangle an elephant
Make plans cos you mans in his element
Go tell a friend
You can send a telegram
Tell 'em that I've vanished and I'm never coming back again
I've had it with this planet man
I'm outro
I'm packing up the panel van
Pay rent off a-rhyming and (??)
Can't make a dent or even scratch the enamel man
I don't even know though
I'm just a joe-smoke
With the slow flow
And a broke nose
And no dough
But I don't do it for the dough
I do it for the do-bros
Cos I'm fly like a dodo
Air control saying that the sky is a no-go
Ex girl screaming to me please baby don't go
But I just want a pizza and a sleep until the ball blows
[Chorus: Tommy Ill]
I Came to get it, really came to get it
But my efforts were pathetic and I might as well have left it
Rolling round town with the Deathwish
Holding down my breakfast
Looking for the exit
Really came to get it
But my efforts were pathetic and I might as well have left it
Rolling round town with the Deathwish
Holding down my breakfast
Looking for the exit
[Verse Two: Tommy Ill]
To the left, to the left
Everything I own in a box to the left
And I think she changed the locks
Cos I stopped and I checked
But you warned (??) of the time from the clock round my neck
So I guess that's nice
And I guess that's it
And I guess that's life
And life's a bitch
Until we all get rich off of stupid shit
I'll be here chain-smoking with my dudes and shit
Because once upon a time there was a boy named Tommy-
That didn't know how to live
Til he heard rap music and he thought that he could do it-
As a way to amuse the kids
So he took some more drugs and some words that were dumb
And he sang the words over the beat
And the sky fell down
And the world fell apart
And we all went back to sleep
C'mon
[Chorus: Tommy Ill]
I Came to get it, really came to get it
But my efforts were pathetic and I might as well have left it
Rolling round town with the Deathwish
Holding down my breakfast
Looking for the exit
Really came to get it
But my efforts were pathetic and I might as well have left it
Rolling round town with the Deathwish
Holding down my breakfast
Looking for the exit
[Outro: MC Boo]
Yo this is Buck (??)
AKA MC Boo
AKA BB for Tommy Ill
You gotta Deathwish
You wanna slit your throat
You wanna see that washing up on the beach
You wanna see that do the thing (??)
Red RED coming by no doubt
You don't even KNOW what I'm talking about
Blood and guts
