Earl Sweatshirt Lyrics
Uh, peace when I'm rollin' around
Tried to keep me close, but look how
When I needed you the most you was out
The least I can do is account
Pizzeria dough, big amount
Fire in the hole, burnin' out his soul
Like they seen a ghost in a shell
Froze up, it's colder than Hell
I cleaned up most of myself
I peeled off more dollar bills
Four on when they peeled off on the bill
Started at the bottom of the hill
Actually, I started in the mid
Actually, I started in Illinois, Khoikhoi and Tswana in the kid
Bloodstains on my fatherland
Bloodstains on my motherland
Tuck clay, all of it's red
Stuck in the jeans and the fabric
And the twenty-three little strains
Freddie Hubbard sing through the acts
Chop another piece off the branch
Memories careen out the past
Halt me to a screech in they tracks
Had a couple things on my chest
That's where the demons would sit
I took a seat at the head, it's time to eat
I need to breach, heavy set
Can you dig what I'm sayin'?
Notice that you easily led
So I take a seat at the head
It's time to eat
Remember, you remember I'm feelin' like Aubrey
There ain't bread, nigga, how it involve me?
I was there when them smiles was salt
Don't be actin' surprised when you call me
But imagine I gave you my all
All my flaws and them bribes with a dog treat
I got tired of stayin' to talk
But you higher than you say that you are
How you lie to me, breakin' my heart?
How you ridin', you ain't stay in the car?
I get high then pay for my art
So when I'm buyin' I'm breakin' the card
Oh, it's always breakin' apart
I don't lie if you playin' your part
On that isle in the flame in the dark
It be songs that make the remarks
Keep it solid, don't change when it start
It probably you lames in the garb
For us like be waitin' to start
For pops I'm takin' a charge
Ain't no option makin' it ours
I know ma used to pray I ain't harden
Only some gettin' saved 'cause they smart
Then how did we come here?
And tell me, too, by what ill fortune did a prince
Turn into the reclusive hermit you are now, here, on this desert isle?
Was it because you found the world distasteful
Or through the perfidy of some enemy?
Is our island a prison or a hermitage?
You've hinted at some mystery so many times and aroused my curiosity
And today you shall tell me it all
Tried to keep me close, but look how
When I needed you the most you was out
The least I can do is account
Pizzeria dough, big amount
Fire in the hole, burnin' out his soul
Like they seen a ghost in a shell
Froze up, it's colder than Hell
I cleaned up most of myself
I peeled off more dollar bills
Started at the bottom of the hill
Actually, I started in the mid
Actually, I started in Illinois, Khoikhoi and Tswana in the kid
Bloodstains on my fatherland
Bloodstains on my motherland
Tuck clay, all of it's red
Stuck in the jeans and the fabric
And the twenty-three little strains

"Cleaned up most of myself" , I felt that Earl ๐ซก
@Smokie_bear9896
i love this song so much because the beat is so minimal, like earl's flow is just fully defined by earl; his voice creates the rhythm of the song
@Smokie_bear9896
also, the words earl emphasizes are in the middle of the lines. โpeace when iโm ROLLing around, try to keep me CLOSE but look how when i needed you the MOST you was outโ

The Alchemist and gospel samples is nothing but special. This is a beautiful song ๐๐๐ผ
