Shiny Things by The Audible Doctor Lyrics
[Hook: Davenport Grimes]
Don't let them fool you with their shiny things
There's so much more than wealth this life can bring
It's what's inside that makes me want to sing
I scribe my life for no price you're offering
[Verse 1: The Audible Doctor]
In the city of big dreams it seems they never remember them
The pendulum swinging bringing the change they've depended on
I mean time is money but it's funny what they spend it on
Dropping the gwap to cop it if it got the right emblem
Dropping the top to rock it like look at all the Benjamins
Dropping their top to flaunt tits like look at me I'm blending in
Cocking the top to shock kids like look G I'm menacing
And this the medicine for those ills I let it settle in
Cuz ever since I been young I been running with the veterans
And never once I chose change for chumps over intelligence
Some cats will pull your chain just for fun on some friendly shit
Some cats will pull your chain and leave you slumped that's the end of it
My penmanship has grown from the effects of the present it's
Hard to learn not everything is sweet like it's entenmann's
But mama told me never dwell to deep in the negative
That's where the devil is I don't sleep
I just keep stepping it's progression
[Hook: Davenport Grimes]
Don't let them fool you with their shiny things
There's so much more than wealth this life can bring
It's what's inside that makes me want to sing
I scribe my life for no price you're offering
[Verse 2: The Audible Doctor]
When I'm writing it seems I'm in another zone
Empty out my dome across the page
Splatter my brain matter through poems homes
I got so many rhymes I don't think I'm too sane
Life is parallel to hell sometimes one and the same
Switching lanes like they trying to pass cats on the fast track
You only ending up with more damage when you crash that
Doc'll be rocking shows in hazmat suits
The blast back gon' bury you wack ass crews
True, I embody this beats rhymes and life shit
They'll probably hologram my body off what I kick
My image rocking on stage my spirit in the clouds
My body underground sorta like the sounds that I spit
You Hollywood ass cats be acting funny
Like a cannibal lion swallow your pride when you hungry
But deny it when you buzzing while you try to make them love it
I'mma keep spitting out whatever's inside of my stomach what
[Hook: Davenport Grimes]
Don't let them fool you with their shiny things
There's so much more than wealth this life can bring
It's what's inside that makes me want to sing
I scribe my life for no price you're offering
Don't let them fool you with their shiny things
There's so much more than wealth this life can bring
It's what's inside that makes me want to sing
I scribe my life for no price you're offering
