Captain Black - Sea Dogs

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Call me Captain Black Blood in the wake, no map Gold tooth grin, cutlass on lap Crew full of killers in tattered caps Salt in the wounds Rum on the breath, eyes red We don’t parley, full dread You don’t pay, muthafuckah you bled We spot your sail, that’s tax Hook in your hull, that’s facts Tie you to the mast for laughs Tide come in, you snapped Dead men talk in my sleep Voices trapped in the deep Every ghost on these waves Just another name I keep (yeah) [Chorus] Sea Dogs, bite through bone (Sea Dogs) Black water, that’s my throne Storm in my lungs, The seas I roam If you see my flag, you don’t go home Sea Dogs, teeth in steel (teeth in steel) We fuckin' rob, we reap, we steal Whole damn ocean signed the deal I rule these waves, that’s carved in keel [Verse 2] Barnacle heart, ice cold Chart in my mind, inked gold I don’t age, I corrode Rust in my soul, still bold We run close in the fog Chain shot singing in the smog You pray to a distant god I answer with lead and tarred logs I got sharks that follow the trail Learned my name tasting my kills Every gull on the rail Screams for a share of the spills (ha) You got crew? I got wolves that swim Men with scars like scripture Every line, my hymn One-eyed gunner with a bad laugh Deckhand carving on the main staff “Let ‘em beg” written down the shaft Only time we care to craft [Chorus] Sea Dogs, bite through bone (bite through bone) Black water, that’s my throne Storm in my lungs, The seas I roam If you see my flag, you don’t go home Sea Dogs, teeth in steel (Sea Dogs) We fuckin' rob, we reap, we steal Whole damn ocean signed the deal I rule these waves, that’s carved in keel [Bridge] [Beat drops, low brass and distant thunder] I don’t fear that edge of the chart I feed on depths where the oceans part Every reef, every wreck I mark Another dark jewel for my heart (yeah) [Chorus] Sea Dogs, bite through bone (Sea Dogs) Black water, that’s my throne Storm in my lungs, The seas I roam If you see my flag, you don’t go home Sea Dogs, teeth in steel (hey!) We fuckin' rob, we reap, we steal Whole damn ocean signed the deal Captain Black I make the sea kneel
