Pick A Card Songtext
von CMPND

Yo, look

It′s a message to the world from the kid
Tiny bit depressing but I guess it is what it is

I know I got talent for this
I should plug it but I smoke too many cannabis spliffs
That's a shame, I ain′t trying waste another 28
Years on the planet, finding it harder to relate

Shit, wake me up after the wake
Parties in the street, laughing on sunny days
And people are saying, me and you we ain't eating the same
I'm boiling star anise while you′re reheating your pasta bake


Fuck bragging here we′re all just trying to catch a break
Odds stacked against us, not rib-eyes, just higher stakes
High rises without fire escapes
Rest in peace to the people that died in that blaze
Just memories now and a wall full of names
The reaction from the law makers was awfully strange
I guess we can't be surprised, it′s not a blip on their radar
The other half of how we live our lives
Their fate and our fate just isn't intertwined
We′re just powering their battery, it's in the design

All sinners in our own rights
There′s heads getting less hot dinners than they do cold nights
They say get yours, I don't need to be told twice
All I can do is be me while I hold mics

All I can do is be me while I hold mics
All I can be is what I do, at all times
What's in your brain and what you say, they ain′t the same
So pick one of your cards and play the game
All I can do is be me while I hold mics
All I can be is what I do, at all times
What′s in your brain and what you say, they ain't the same
So pick one of your cards and play the game

Yeah, guess it′s another weird metaphor


Best understand the genius of Kem'll talk
One day translate the hieroglyphs to letter form
My life all over the place ′cause I've been learning to teleport
Like, yoohoo I′m over here
Slyly crying vomit puddles and still puking tears
While a load of wack rappers keep catching diarrhoea
Realise I only make music so that strangers buy me beer
Cheers, I take my medicine in liquid form

My flow stays sharp like liquid swords
Hit the world for six, are you keeping score?
Thought not, this game's harder than the cricket ball
Courts, you're more of the ping pong sort

Kem a cheeky monkey got these King Kong thoughts
Trip on top of buildings reaching for another plane
The mad doctor′s diagnosis was Kem insane

People are strange, force feeding my brain
The recipe′s the same but the ingredients change

Chemistry be the true seeker
Earned all these badges like Blue Peter
Animal behind the bars teaching zoo creatures
How to use ether to remove leeches

Sometimes you need salt in the wounds
I'm just a sensitive soul making emotional tunes

All I can do is be me while I hold mics
All I can be is what I do, at all times
What′s in your brain and what you say, they ain't the same
So pick one of your cards and play the game
All I can do is be me while I hold mics
All I can be is what I do, at all times
What′s in your brain and what you say, they ain't the same
So pick one of your cards and play the game

Own style proudly hold, I′m about to flow
You on a sour note, get showered down with power hose
You couldn't hack the smoke, your soul collapsing off a casual toke
So in the ash you go, cash your gold in for an ounce of hope

I got that magic glow, gleaming as the grammar grow
Greasier than deep dish pizza pan gastric slow
Fat explosion, I ain't battling these fassyos
That′s tragic yo, when the only road is down the rabbit hole

Catapult reaction when I′m back from lows
Anaphylactic bolts had 'em spazzing off the lab results
Relaxing dojo, hack the doja like a traffic cone
Make it big like afro comb until this planet blows a mass of clones

Cold hat hatched open, minds infiltrated
I′ll stimulate you with the vision while you're finger painting
And live it, take it different places like you′re interbaiting
Figure skating, sharp with it, rips into flaming

In the country people funny give some dodgy looks
Got the goods, drop it like I should, I bought it off the books
That's the money, not what it′s all about
Surviving if she got a problem, come we sort it now
Sound so rousing, the cloud the loud that I'm falling out
Have you bouncing off the walls from the ground
All sort of real talk of the town 'til we touring around
Seeing P and Digby compound, we took all the vows

All I can do is be me while I hold mics
All I can be is what I do, at all times
What′s in your brain and what you say, they ain′t the same
So pick one of your cards and play the game
All I can do is be me while I hold mics
All I can be is what I do, at all times
What's in your brain and what you say, they ain′t the same
So pick one of your cards and play the game
