CANNIBAL OX lyrics : "Gotham (Ox City)"

[intro]
Ah you think darkness is your ally
But youre merely adapted to dark

I was born in it molded by it
I didnt see the light until i was already a man
By then it was nothing to me but blinding

You are now tuned in to the adventures of vast man and goblin

[verse 1: vordul megilah]

We stay in shape like porsches on blocks
Where ?women?is gorgeous and kids stay strapped like bugs bunny jordans
Its crazed all streets where eyes is forever glazed

Like lady lemon cakes? in an age is a phase? everything trying to get paid
I miss some of my friends one time ima see at the end at some point
Can't hold on to every bit of ?

Trying to get over forbidden-ness(or bitterness) like ban hands
So raise em up to the roof even though some are roofless
Everything ain't sweet tell that to those thats living toothless

Ima always be with my fam like boys chasing cute girls
And stay straight through the swirls


[hook - vordul megilah]
Knowing everything ain't diamonds and pearls
Keep it up that's positive patience is a virtue

Don't let anything that irritates hurt you
Cuz we ain't gonna lose our top
Even when struggling at the bottom gotham

Yo i got you like yo i got em gotham
Got you got you


[verse 2: vast aire]

This is our city new york gritty

Gotham i got em ox city
Right in the face of death i show no pity
That's why all of my exs still love me

Wifey was diane mistress was selena
Love that amazon but the kruger was meaner
(huh) plus i love to demean her

I be in mecca she stayed in medina
Cipher unknown we red hot
With two cops on roof tops that's dead shots

The duo dynamic is call
Once we move these packs to d.c. we're goin ball
We running this city as far as the eyes can see

The shadows betray you cause they belong me
Illogicality deception ain't it?
The reality is we all initiated

Into the league of shadows
I told raven to keep her eye on the sparrow
Iron galaxy clique

Clayface will shape-shift and you can get a face lift
With a box cutter that's mad cows son
(hell) you know i'm a ox-cutter

Because ox is so gutter
From 125 all the way to sutta


[hook - vordul megilah]
Knowing everything ain't diamonds and pearls
Keep it up that's positive patience is a virtue

Don't let anything that irritates hurt you
Cuz we ain't gonna lose our top
Even when struggling at the bottom gotham

Yo i got you like yo i got em gotham
Got you got you
