Skeleton Key
Lord Juco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stain a million white Ts before I get icy
Need to live by the water I'm a Pisces
Since was smoking at Mikey's
Been nice with it
I'm talking spicy
I walk it nicely
I'm talking pricey
These expensive footsteps do I look stressed
This as good as it gets
I'm refreshed
Cleaned up but I'm here to make mess
My patience impressive slide quiet not aggressive
You get the message quicker in and out I never linger
Better rapper you the better singer
Competitions I never enter you the winner of
Thats not my trophy where you ending up
I got a minimum
Never seen second
I been the one
That shit offending them its entertaining
Need better training you shooting but never aiming
You lames should be ashamed my life framed in Cartier
We don't see the same
Shit, I needed change

And I roam through the ends pray coppers don't care to know me
Got a noisy cricket filled with coppers carried on me
Smoking on some gas drive the whip and steer it only
The day I die they'll do some kinda voodoo ceremony
Lose me at the sea for a month no radio
Might be lil sunburnt otherwise it's gravy though
Breaking down the coverage on the corner see he's shaded low
Off the rock cut em thin sliced like Trader Joes
Drop and get a paycheque I'm John Woo
Sitting on the dock of the bay it was a calm noon
Shit could change the obeahs that could haunt rooms
Thunder clouds Helly Hansen through the monsoon
How many times I had to watch the rain change to hail
How many times I had to train n fail before the products made for sale




How many long days taking Ls
Up and down the block these Vapormax leave vapor trails
