Mayday
Marlowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a showcase
Made some digit's with my mixer
Put ignition with the propane
Fishing through my lyrics got you
Dishing like you know me
Made it out on proba'
Had no choice but to relocate
With my baggage overflowing
I'm so blackened Action Jackson
Went heroic to a stoic tryna get promoted
I've been grinding for a minute
Scraping pennies, paid my penance
You can kindly mind your business
I just got committed, I just got admitted
Ain't got no time for sitting
Is we done or is we finished?
Take a hit and say good riddance
I just keep them feelings hidden
Keep out of my keep
We play for keeps out in my village
Mayday for your heyday, I'm a headache
I'm a showcase
Made some digit's with my mixer
Put ignition with the propane
Mayday for your heyday, I'm a headache
I'm a showcase
Mayday for your heyday, I'm a headache
I'm a showcase
A mountain that walks like a man
The biggest mug I ever saw
Rain all in my heyday, all I do is lay waste
Own the game no co pay
Name ain't got no low case
I just got a pay raise
You can't say it don't phase
Working through the whole day
I don't clock out for no lunch break
I go knockout when I showcase
I was locked out got my key made
Then I came and left with no trace
You can't see me I'm too opaque
Playing with my pay again
You play with my emotions
Make my payment now I play to
Win you can't get me demoted
Game ain't got no layaway
You can't get no leeway
Late tag on the freeway
Keepsake for a cheapskate
Keep that streak on replay
Get them records shipped like eBay
I'm a pro at what I create
And my head will never deflate
Mayday for your heyday, I'm a headache
I'm a showcase
Made some digit's with my mixer
Put ignition with the propane
Mayday for your heyday, I'm a headache
I'm a showcase
Mayday for your heyday, I'm a headache
I'm a showcase
Made it back whole from an all-time low
Blow smoke for the plug
That's my igna Marlowe
Don't nobody show love when
The walls start close
Kick in my door, taking pics of my dough
If you can't roll
Keep your fickle eyes closed
Please remain seated we about
To start show, show, show
One here, made them do my bidding
And with their help I carved
Out an underground empire
A note of madness, and then

That's my igna Marlowe
That's my close associate named Marlowe
Don't nobody show love when
No one expresses affection or support when
The walls start close
Challenging situations emerge
Kick in my door, taking pics of my dough
Invade my personal space and capture evidence of my wealth
If you can't roll
If you can't handle the situation
Keep your fickle eyes closed
Keep your unreliable and easily changing perspectives to yourself
Please remain seated we about
Stay in your place, as we are about
To start show, show, show
To commence an exciting and captivating performance
