Ode To Seth by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh Seth, what you doin' over there? Don't you know I can feel it when you stare?
And I'm uncomfortable but I know that you ain't gonna last You play in a role I can easily recast and fast
And I forecast that a storm is brewin' and ready to rain down and leave your life in ruin but I'm doin' it
You can betty that I'm petty in the right situation and only on the facts am I basin' that and I wield the truth like a gat
Sittin' here ready with confetti, celebrate a win, how's that?
Not miffed by the past, not miffed by a spat, I'm miffed that no one wanna go to bat in any kind of format
I gave it a shot but now I'd rather not
[Chorus]
I'm just writing to myself and Seth's long gone
Yet still obsessed how much time must pass as this goes on
Before I'm free and can see dawn
[Verse 2]
Seth! What you doin man? Playin' Solitaire while you wait for a check from the mailman?
My bad there on the deadpan, this the part where you tell me if I keep it up, I'm a dead man?
Give me a good laugh Seth, you're one of a kind, tell me what's really on your mind so we can find
The root of it all even if it leads to our downfall
You're the first to blink and the first to sink, so what makes you think that I'd keep you close?
When it's why I chose to bestow every snake that I know with a one way ticket through the door
Yet they always come a knockin' like can I sleep on the floor but I say no
This ain't the place to go we've both been down this road before
[Chorus]
I'm just writing to myself and Seth's long gone
Yet still obsessed how much time must pass as this goes on
Before I'm free and can see dawn
[Verse 3]
And I've had some stranger days, people moving through them in robotic phase
Celebrating from the sideline like they made the plays is one of the many displays
Encased in my hall of fame but it's my game and a trophy to the player I became
And I want them to hang my name from a rafter even though it isn't the recognition that I'm after
Don't want to be the master of a one hit wonder finger blaster, faster and faster, it'll be my face up there on the plaster
Had I let you hang it would've been disaster, can't get any dafter than Seth here, hey Seth, go fuck yourself
[Chorus]
I'm just writing to myself and Seth's long gone
Yet still obsessed how much time must pass as this goes on
Before I'm free and can see dawn
Oh Seth, what you doin' over there? Don't you know I can feel it when you stare?
And I'm uncomfortable but I know that you ain't gonna last You play in a role I can easily recast and fast

Not miffed by the past, not miffed by a spat, I'm miffed that no one wanna go to bat in any kind of format
