Just Another Day
The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From a southern state where they used to write candy paint
Taking cane to the brain and often slizz it on drank
But is it insane that I'm twisted distant from fame
You insist that I came, ignorance blitzing to flames James

Dope must be in hell, catching hell like NFL
I tried to see eye to eye, but I see I fail
Paper trails, got niggas singing like damn Adele
Lean cup runneth over like the holy grail

Slowly sail up the stream, on a percocet
Without a sail or a stream, I can make a bag
Easy task, thinking all green like Peter Pan
And if the feds watching, I'ma be fresher than Dapper Dan

Clap your hands, if you ever went to go whack a man
I'ma turn into a gospel choir band, amen
Still I stand, still, who the man, on demand
Whole team gon' ride like we're Ubering, like

Impossible fork, sorcerer
Peel red gauze off a corpse's heart
Dr. Holmes, surgical tongs
Sterilised guns, pick flesh apart

Incubus host, diabolical ohms
Hell brim-fire, slave control
Six feet below, memorial stone Like Drury Lane, overrun with ghosts

Inject ash, veins corrode
Phone lines drop, blood dissolve
Nightshade, Mandrake enter my soul
Cold as Bohemian Grove

Overdose, passing O's
Hit me a lick under ritual bones
Outside home, decompose
Drawn into hell by the piercing cold

Slizz it on drank
But is it insane that I'm twisted distant from fame
You insist that I came, ignorance blitzing to flames James

Dope must be in hell, catching hell like NFL
I tried to see eye to eye, but I see I fail
Paper trails, got niggas singing like damn Adele
Lean cup runneth over like the

Bitch, we hard bodies, so stay on the still of your boots
We still totals, run them down, chasing frivolous fruits
Though reality, most can't make a mill in a suit
So they jump off the porch, cause you can't chase a mill on a stoop

Blood lands through my hands like the sands of the hourglass
Life fading, death awaits, time has passed
I can't recount the past, bitch, I'm recounting cash
Walked in from the salad stash, the grip in the sandwich bag

Hit your block, walk up to your door, no time to pick the lock
Get the drop, kick it down, round, bout to pick your stop
I run out the back and through the grass like I'm mowing lawns
On a notepad, it be the only time your guns are drawn

Out for funds, but sometimes I guff a fund
Get too used with the tongue, bet it ain't no one on ones
Bitch, I'm coming on, gun bark, equip the muzzle
Go from dogs to bitches when they touch you

Bedlam door, Ouija board
Woke up alive in a mental ward
Weaved into fog, my thoughts deplore
Locate the tomb of an anti-god

Conscience gone like Cherrie Mahan
Lean cup, stutter, double up
Sacrifice souls to the Lord below
The year 1822 underneath the mud

Won't survive, butcher knives
Blood filled cracks, homicide
Infiltrate death like a parasite
Innocents drowned by horror sites

Paralyzed, sent to die
Deep underground where bones reside




Eyes roll back, bending time
Fading to black at my demise

You insist that I came, ignorance blitzing to flames James

Dope must be in hell, catching hell like NFL
The drug trade is a hellish world, just like football


I tried to see eye to eye, but I see I fail
Attempting to understand others, but failing


Paper trails, got niggas singing like damn Adele
Evidence leads to people snitching and confessing


Lean cup runneth over like the holy grail
My cup is overflowing with lean, a prized possession


Slowly sail up the stream, on a percocet
Drifting through life in a daze, fueled by drugs


Without a sail or a stream, I can make a bag
Despite lacking direction, I still find a way to profit


Easy task, thinking all green like Peter Pan
Making money effortlessly, never growing up


And if the feds watching, I'ma be fresher than Dapper Dan
Even under surveillance, I maintain a stylish appearance


Clap your hands, if you ever went to go whack a man
Celebrating acts of violence if you've committed them


I'ma turn into a gospel choir band, amen
Transforming into a musical group, invoking spirituality


Still I stand, still, who the man, on demand
Resilient and respected, always in demand


Whole team gon' ride like we're Ubering, like
Our entire group will fiercely support each other


Impossible fork, sorcerer
A magician with an unimaginable weapon


Peel red gauze off a corpse's heart
Removing the cover to reveal a lifeless heart


Dr. Holmes, surgical tongs
A reference to a twisted doctor and his tools


Sterilised guns, pick flesh apart
Weapons designed to dissect and harm


Incubus host, diabolical ohms
Possessed by evil, emitting sinister vibes


Hell brim-fire, slave control
A fiery underworld that manipulates and enslaves


Six feet below, memorial stone Like Drury Lane, overrun with ghosts
Buried deep, a resting place filled with spirits


Inject ash, veins corrode
The act of injecting harmful substances into veins


Phone lines drop, blood dissolve
Communication breaks down, while violence unfolds


Nightshade, Mandrake enter my soul
Poisonous plants metaphorically consuming my being


Cold as Bohemian Grove
Unfeeling and detached like a notorious secret society


Overdose, passing O's
Experiencing a drug overdose, risking death


Hit me a lick under ritual bones
Committing a robbery in a sacred environment


Outside home, decompose
Existing in a state of decay outside of comfort


Drawn into hell by the piercing cold
Being lured into a destructive world despite the chilling consequences


Bitch, we hard bodies, so stay on the still of your boots
We are tough individuals, asserting dominance


We still totals, run them down, chasing frivolous fruits
We relentlessly pursue trivial gains by any means necessary


Though reality, most can't make a mill in a suit
Despite societal expectations, many cannot achieve great wealth


So they jump off the porch, cause you can't chase a mill on a stoop
They take risks because opportunities won't come to them


Blood lands through my hands like the sands of the hourglass
My hands are stained with the consequences of violence


Life fading, death awaits, time has passed
As life slips away, death looms closer


I can't recount the past, bitch, I'm recounting cash
Prioritizing wealth over reflecting on past experiences


Walked in from the salad stash, the grip in the sandwich bag
Entering with a hidden weapon concealed in a bag


Hit your block, walk up to your door, no time to pick the lock
Approaching your residence with aggressive urgency


Get the drop, kick it down, round, bout to pick your stop
Taking control of the situation, about to execute a plan


I run out the back and through the grass like I'm mowing lawns
Escaping swiftly by maneuvering through obstacles


On a notepad, it be the only time your guns are drawn
Your bravado is limited to writing lyrics on paper


Out for funds, but sometimes I guff a fund
Seeking money, but occasionally squandering it


Get too used with the tongue, bet it ain't no one on ones
Becoming skilled at speaking, no one can challenge me


Bitch, I'm coming on, gun bark, equip the muzzle
Asserting myself aggressively, preparing to intimidate


Go from dogs to bitches when they touch you
Transitioning from fierce to submissive when confronted


Bedlam door, Ouija board
Entering chaos and darkness through a supernatural tool


Woke up alive in a mental ward
Regaining consciousness in a psychiatric hospital


Weaved into fog, my thoughts deplore
Lost in confusion and unsettling thoughts


Locate the tomb of an anti-god
Finding the burial place of a deity opposing traditional beliefs


Conscience gone like Cherrie Mahan
Having no moral compass, like a missing child


Lean cup, stutter, double up
Experiencing drowsiness and intoxication from lean


Sacrifice souls to the Lord below
Offering lives to a dark deity


The year 1822 underneath the mud
A historical reference to a forgotten time and place


Won't survive, butcher knives
Facing certain death, threatened by sharp weapons


Blood filled cracks, homicide
Violent acts resulting in bloodshed and death


Infiltrate death like a parasite
Invading the realm of death with malicious intent


Innocents drowned by horror sites
Witnessing gruesome scenes that consume the innocent


Paralyzed, sent to die
Rendered immobile, heading towards an inevitable demise


Deep underground where bones reside
Buried in a subterranean world alongside remains


Eyes roll back, bending time
Experiencing disorientation and distortion of reality


Fading to black at my demise
Gradually losing consciousness until eventual darkness
