MM1.3.5-B: Kick It (Luca) (L58)
[Intro] “Hey…” “Hah…” “Okay…” Hummmm… Mmm-mm… “Mm.” I, I, I- [Verse 1] I saw the smoke begin to clear In the wreckage of my wake. I couldn’t bear to linger there Cuz it was more than I could take. More than superstition- More than anyone could know- More unspoken than the wishes I left with the undertow- Oh- Ohh, No- Oh- No- Rest for the wicked, No reprieve for weary souls, No time for shady plots to thicken Under all the overgrowth. And I take it- Take it like a shot- Like a shot-- Ready or not-- Cuz I’m trippin’, and I’m slippin’ in the shadow of the valley of the rot- My God- Hah… [Pre-Chorus] Settin’ fires in my sleep, So I wake up in the ashes. Every secret I can’t keep Ripples through the restless masses. And I… Turn my back on the pyre… Cuz I… Know I’m down to the wire... [Chorus] So I kick it- Split the diff’rence, that’s the ticket- Feelin’ sickened- Cuz my legacy is wicked- Like me. [Hook] Tell me, what do you see? What do you see? Come on, Baby, look at me, And Tell me, Tell me- Ay- Ay- Ay- Hey! [Acoustic Guitar Solo] Hah- [Verse 2] I’m so used to life in motion, I don’t ever stop to look At the traces of erosion On the cover of my book. I feel like faded ink these days, Been catchin’ too much dust. It doesn’t matter anyways, Cuz I’ll do what I must, But it’s a bust- A carnival dressed up in rust- And I think I been on the cusp Of tryna lose my way… Ay… Ayy… Ay… Hey… Whatcha say… If I lived to run another day… Whatcha say… If I couldn’t find another way… Ay… Ay… Yeah… Hah… [Pre-Chorus] Settin’ fires in my sleep, So I wake up in the ashes. Every secret I can’t keep Ripples through the restless masses. And I… Turn my back on the pyre… Cuz I… Know I’m down to the wire... [Chorus] So I kick it- Split the diff’rence, that’s the ticket- Feelin’ sickened- Cuz my legacy is wicked- Like me. [Hook] Tell me, what do you see? What do you see? Come on, Baby, look at me, And Tell me, Tell me- Ay- Ay- Ay- Hey! [Extended Acoustic Guitar Solo] [Drop the Beat] [Bridge] If I stopped to smell the roses, You’d be dead and gone by dark, And I’d never really know if You were just another mark Itching underneath my skin, Where I feel it deep within, Tearing me to bits, and then… I descend… Again… Again… [Pre-Chorus] Settin’ fires in my sleep, So I wake up in the ashes. Every secret I can’t keep Ripples through the restless masses. And I… Turn my back on the pyre… Cuz I… Know I’m down to the wire... [Chorus] So I kick it- Split the diff’rence, that’s the ticket- Feelin’ sickened- Cuz my legacy is wicked- Like me. [Outro] Tell me… Tell me… Tell me- Tell me what you… See… What you see when you… Look at- Look at me… Tell me… Tell me… Tell me… Yeah…. Hah… Ah! [END]
