[Intro] Scatter’s out the game Now (scatter’s out, scatter’s out) Used to move that rain Now (ran it up, ran it out) [Verse 1] Brown paper bag in the glove box Late-night talk in a parked-up ride Priest still dreaming on a quick score Scatter got tired of that slow suicide Ash on his sleeve from the last one Shook those ghosts from his coat Walked away Got a little house on the hillside Trying to make it to another Sunday [Chorus] Scatter’s out the game Ain’t that man you used to know He done washed that powder from his hands Let that midnight money go Scatter’s out the game Priest You gotta let him be You keep knocking on that door But that door ain’t what you need [Verse 2] Phone keep ringing in the kitchen Old life calling like a payphone ring Priest on the line with a wild plan Talking ’bout the cars and the diamond rings Scatter stare down at his coffee See the faces that never made it home Says “Brother I can’t be your pipeline I’m tired of watching mothers dress in black alone” [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s just one more run But one more run turns to ten I had my time walking with that shadow I won’t shake its hand again [Chorus] Scatter’s out the game He ain’t standing on that corner Ain’t riding in that Cadillac Stacking bills like wanted posters Scatter’s out the game Priest You gotta let him be You keep knocking on that door But that door ain’t what you need [Bridge] [Icy string rise Wah guitar answers] You want a way through the city? You want a name they all trust? But every favor got a funeral Every shortcut bites the dust (oh, Priest) Find another road My brother Go and get yourself clean ’Cause I ain’t trading this clear sky For that old Dead dream [Chorus] Scatter’s out the game He done laid his burden down Put that white ghost in the ground Ain’t chasing that crooked crown Scatter’s out the game Priest You gotta set him free You keep knocking on that door But that door ain’t what you need [Outro] Scatter’s out the game Now (scatter’s out, scatter’s out) Priest Just say his name Now (let him live, let him breathe) Scatter’s out the game Now Walk away Just walk away (yeah, yeah)
