artichoke by Jacob Daley Lyrics
[Part 1]
[Verse 1: Jacob Daley]
I, I, I lack purpose
First time when I'm outta bed
Still boy move like it's money on his head
Pet Sematary pockets waking up the dead
Dollar bill, dollar bill 'til im outta breath
Life move fast boy, always in step
What I do for my boys that make it big
Make iTunes hits, what the fuck it take
For a skateboard ramp, backyard, and a lake
And to live my life, education need escape
With a view, top floor need to elevate away
For a night, sundown and my wifey new estate
Boy still shine when they throwing all that shade
Boy still grind when thеy throwing all that hate
Wanna be 'til kids wanna be mе
Wonder why they don't like me
Ice on, ice on my white tee
I can't, I can't chase my love
I can't, I can't chase my dreams
I wonder what's wrong with me
Nature verse nurture, my mind tell me latter
My momma tried recipes for a king
Put too much bashful inside of the batter
Self-value issues I don't think I matter
Psychoanalyzed and I just get sadder
Ugh, I push that, I push that back in the trunk
This shit was way before Man on Moon I
I crushed on girls for just way, way too long
I couldn't write a sixteen for a song
I couldn't write a sixteen if I want
Had pressure on me since moment I spawned
Sunset, I'm gone, move out, move on I'm
[Chorus: Jacob Daley, Paskkal the Landlord]
I need place on Earth, there's too much that surrounds me
At the bottom of the sea and nothing's found me
So much pressure just to make my family proud
But the rain don't stop it's just begun
I need stand out 'cause I'm always safe and silent
At the center of the Earth and nothing's found me
So much pressure just to make the city proud (I think I'm thinking too much)
But the rain don't stop it's just begun (I think I'm thinking too—)
[Verse 2: Paskkal the Landlord]
Aye, you wanna know 'bout my life?
Telephone with the disk on it
Slip off the metronome pattern, aye
Twiddle the chord in disaster
Side hold the lantern, side hold the antler
It was real dark and we couldn't find shelter, scatter
Her high heels could stop a heart
She done seen more rings than Saturn
Those diamonds are stars
So it don't matter if we don't see ours
We're still on brrr, cold as Septar
Hair look as orange as blond
Crimson cape glitter with blood
It camouflage, schmuckity schmickity schmack
Schmock, swallow the bugs
Shoutout to youth, life is complete
Shoutout to me, what sense of [?]
Rules of October are different 'cause I wear a blazer at end of month
Blazer like uh
Sandisk tint like cake got stitched up
Lip like baseball OG smoke trees like Christmas
Basement smelling like incense
I was sixteen trynna pull white women
Hair Bill Evans, clock on Ray Charles
Ain't no tick tock on this radar
Pack on pack and then I met Jacob falling on path
Haven't turned back since (uh)
Moves [?] midsummer, haven't really turned up since
Squatted on the edges of the sandbox, haven't really thought much since
Baby I just really wanna play, aye
Baby I just really wanna play, yeah
[Part 2]
[Interlude: Drake]
I'm playin' Tetris
Thousand-dollar sweater on but I don’t never sweat shit
[Verse 3: Jacob Daley]
On some lonely shit
Yeah
All love ever did was hurt me
I'm fast, it caught my face in the dirt, am I worthy?
I'm asking on my shoulder, bouquet
She showed me the suitcase and throw me the deuces
Like I've been trynna bring my grades up
And maybe turn my patience down
Like I've been way too nice to y'all and I just hate it now
Like this is all for me bro I ain't trynna cater now
You can take my clothes, you won't ever have the Jacob style
You can steal my beats, you won't ever have the Jacob sound
You can hit my phone bro, but I don't like to answer now
Tippy top top feeling, drop top off feeling
Crockpot hot still a modern-day Scott Pilgrim
That shit was stupid, in parking lots after rainy days
Looking for a puddle, I like the way that it shapes my face
Ever since a youngin, was taught that love was the saving grace
Probably why I'm scared every time that I feel it fade away
[Verse 1: Jacob Daley]
I, I, I lack purpose
