Opera
Cyne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A fight grimey grey smoke
Stool pigeon mocked got shot untimely
Nine miles of running he only had another left
Say hello alien glad to meet your brother death
We are metropolis united and we here for
Beige, white, green, red, bill, juan or hector
Jenny from the block Vanessa on the hilltop
Keisha got knocked up black girl lost shit
Enforce it overseeing laws and endorse it
Runaway so yo I don’t give a horseshit
I’m the man with the master plan
Now hiring smiling faces in demand y'all
Pay per view special brokeback and dead jews
Surround sound hatred wait and get a earful
We all need a brand don’t we all need a hand
I’m suicidal sheep reborn elephant and
We going to the Opera
Resident alien where’s jimmy Hoffa
2Pac Amaru black vote in memorium
Escape them now go scream republic
Suicide kings reign hope on apocalypse
The doctors say pull it but the family stays stopping it
Sky so blue but the water looking ominous
The monster in the deep and the closet and it’s pondering
That nigga went to jail so he kissing on Michael
Swears he a muslim but he still reads the bible
Shit’s so confused like top breaking news
How we go from genocide to Jolie baby blues
No priorities so the story’s boring me
Fuck a damn terrorist I’m harmed by the authorities
Red and blue lights in my mirror every night
Stay stay in the car blind by the flashlight
All up in my shit goddamn you a bitch
You better write me a fucking ticket
We going to the Opera
Alek Wek beautiful fuck paris hilton
Trust fund babies got beats and they rhyme too
Now I’m bigga tomas live on the set drinking evian
Still nude director yelled "cut" why your panties on
Quick belladonna we only need a couple takes
So we got hot I blew heaven on her pretty face
And these are the breaks
For all who relate to this tragedy at stake
Adult biz can make you lose all
Juice dog you was once native
Naïve in thought protagonist save him
Hallmark cards blonde sex gods they gave him
Religion like crack musical clap that they made him




All weak softy asleep need coffee
Go back to killa shhh
