Trust Your Gut
Merkules Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I can trust my instincts
Absolutely, trust your instincts
Have the guts to follow your beliefs
Follow your gut
Trust your gut, your instincts are very important)
I remember when it used to get ugly yeah, I had to find my way
We took the long way up, we took the hard way out
Now I keep my head up and they walk face down they some cowards
Goddamnit motherfucka they some cowards
Check it out, I'm about to snap now
I remember being in the background
I'm in a two-seater with a heater on my lap now
In a wife beater with my pants down
Like suck my dick bitch I'm cleaning out the trash now
And they like Merk what the fuck man we want that raw shit
Got 'em fiendin' like the dropped the last line on the carpet
That's why I'm climbing the charts, they just hide in the closet
I got that fire if you want it pull out the .9 then I spark it like bang
Right now we at an all time high
I bought security tape if they try to cross that line
I burn a blunt and take a shot I'm trying to calm my mind
Tony Hawk in '99 bitch on my grind
Yeah, I'm Canadian I've had it with the stereotypes
I don't eat poutine and ride a polar bear every night
But I'm characterized as dope because I tear up the mic
The town hero, I'm a pharaoh with a terrible life right?
I remember when it used to get ugly, yeah I had to find my way
We did a lot of dumb shit to get money, but that was fine by me
We took the long way up, we took the hard way out
Now I keep my head up and they walk face down they some cowards
Goddamnit motherfucka they some cowards
Check it out, I'm about to snap now
Leaning off this liquor 'til my back out
Get money 'til the point where I don't even wanna rap now
I'm playin', I'm just sayin' I don't live at mom and dad's house
I'm bout to buy a crib and put a Benz in the garage now
A kamikaze the grenade strapped to me
Screaming fuck these other rappers if you hate that sue me
In an A-class shooting through their made back roofs
Now the rap games a slut and you would date that groupie
Y'all are hype beast suckers, fallin' for the thirst trap
I'm on a plane getting brains if they wanna know where Merks at
A prodigy you'd probably get bodied by my first rap
Uppercuts call me if you wanna take a dirt nap
I was the kid that you were scared to talk to
I dropped out in grade eight I wasn't there for high school
I was busy writing raps while they stared at cartoons
Now your favorite rappers out there wearing Aeropostale
I remember when it used to get ugly, yeah I had to find my way
We did a lot of dumb shit to get money, but that was fine by me
We took the long way up, we took the hard way out
Now I keep my head up and they walk face down they some cowards
Goddamnit motherfucka they some cowards
Check it out, I'm about to snap now
