lyrics

PRILLY T: Hey, Rudiff.
I brought your mirror,
But I got some shit that I gotta say to you first,
And umm… I can’t have you walking away from me
So…
[shotgun blast]
RUDIFF: Ahh! What the fuck, bro?
PRILLY T: Shutup. Umm...

Ice cold—I’m told, but you’re on a different level
I flip switch—clicked
Shouldn’t this hit like a rebel?
Revel in animus
You’re an animal
Standing this close to the glass,
Shouldn’t it crack?
Wouldn’t know, I wasn’t stupid enough
And that’s the issue, I been doing this for years
Wrong side of the track, so no one’s getting anywhere
-Stare like train is coming
Called my fiction too fast,
Then “forgot” all my letters ‘cause I put you on blast?
Look at you act surprised!
Like you would never strike the ground with your fist
And crumble under pressure
As for punishment?
Oh… let’s let “God” decide whose reality is flawed
...like He gon’ talk shit
I keep my head pointed up incase this stratus clears up
Better days—medicate like it gon’ heal your fucking problems right up
Feed on that bullshit!
I’ma keep on pushing words deeper into your skull, like a contusion
Begin to question the stressing that you done been through
Defend from these shots—act shielded and offend-proof
But don’t pretend you had never meant to leave me your baggage
Uh-oh—surprise!
I brought all back!
In fact, I tracked your lack of passion back to the “good ol’ days”
When life wasn’t tragic
Imagined the look on your face when I passed it like traffic
And it’s a bit amusing
See, ‘cause that shit was just so accurate!
It’s all immaculate—just the way that you left it
The same day that you stepped out of my life
And told me it didn’t matter
I couldn’t shatter this mirror ‘cause I knew you was near
You left a hole, I’ll fill it up with your crocodile tears, bitch

In my heart there’s no violence
You were dead-set on fishing it out
Like a shadow in darkness,
Kept the truth buried—hidden
And I am the shovel that’s digging it up
No, your ground-
Your ground wasn’t hallowed enough

Say it’s not my problem
Say it’s not my fault
Say you’re gonna’ make some time for changes after all
Say you’re gonna’ accomplish things
Say you understand
We both know that’s bullshit
We both know you can’t
Nigga, fuck you!
Throw that in your system of files
I can’t talk to you anymore
I don’t know—it could end up archived
And that’s fine… but get no respect from me
Build up your collection!
I poured my goddamned soul out
But apparently, I’m just another project to you

In my heart there’s no violence
You were dead-set on fishing it out
Like a shadow in darkness,
Kept the truth buried—hidden
And I am the shovel that’s digging it up
No, your ground-
Your ground wasn’t hallowed enough

You couldn’t see it
How the fuck you supposed to be it?
What the fuck, you chose to be this!
Now you acting like you somebody else
You want my help?
Oh, where were you when I was you?
It’s like that
I wrote you a thousand times
You told me, “Do what you gotta’ do”
And I been doing!
Once more, I’m holding true inside my soul
-Inside my mind
But it just seems like part of me’s leaking out
Corruption, doubt, resentment without a cause
Strike me down if that’s what changes y’all!
I’ll be your mirror
I’ll reflect it back at you
-A full-on psychological assault to crack you
I tracked you down to let you out
We’ll set this ground up with a solid foundation,
Then break you down
There’s no escaping how I hate you now!
You’re fake!
I can’t take looking at you!
You’s a fucking disgrace!
The shell of a man I once knew and loved…
Dig a little deeper—might just end up above it all
This bomb inside’s a ticking clock
And it’s been slickly tricking seconds of our lives away
The longer we keep sitting here debating, the more it’s all degrading
It’s entertaining
We can blow up the entire world
If that will get you to admit that you have got a fucking problem
I can’t stop it—ah!
I must be outta’ my fucking mind
But still, I dropped this
And doubt that you’ll ever get me…
All you do is upset me...
So let me be the first to say I’m digressing…
Peace, man

In my heart there’s no violence
You were dead-set on fishing it out
Like a shadow in darkness,
Kept the truth buried—hidden
And I am the shovel that’s digging it up
No, your ground-
Your ground wasn’t hallowed enough

about

Prilly T

Before anybody throws a fit about my use of the word, "Nigga," understand that I am half black. While it should not matter (because I am not using the word in a derogatory way), people are presumptuous. My biological father is 100% Jamaican, and even though I am passable as "white" I AM biracial. Getting upset by me using the word is denying the black half of my family's culture. ... more
