Baby Gots Venom by Toussaint Morrison Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Packed up the bottle, burned another dollar
Time to see if my luck is any better than the next time
Sworn my lover I wouldn't let her in
I have these walls I built long ago and they're thick
I'm an exit, moments flow through me
Nobody's tool except my heart when its pulling
I tried to cut it out once but I couldn't find a blade
Sharp enough to cut through the walls I already made
There's no trouble in the discomfort of the act
It's the comfort in not letting you love me back
The fear of giving you a world you no longer want
A world that celebrates the light as much as the dark
My past sits with me, it'll spawn inside the breakfast table
Next to an empty chair that sits next to Banquo
That sits next to the idea you can only drink careful
Or sitting next to your worst fears and people you won't let go
[Pre Chorus:]
I don't know who I am
Can't expect you to know better
But if you can hold my hand
While I’m out here tryin’ to get there
[Chorus:]
Waiting down, don't try to figure it out
My past gon' make your mama run for the hills
Cuz when the gravity hits ya
I'll be right there to lift ya
I can take fire without giving hate now
So long to that stranger you knew
So long to a new mind
So long to your red, white, and blue
So long to the good vibe
[Verse 2:]
Finish the bottle, let another burn
Right now I'm good, I'll figure out my luck in the next world
My lover's gone, the scorn was too much for her to understand
Scorn goes hand in hand with love
And I'm no yoga in the park
I'll take your ideals out for a good swing dance in the dark
You see, life's an illusion, she's deadly and gorgeous
And I only take directions from the local blind swordsman
If blood can coexist with the poison in my veins
Then there's no wall that can't be given a door frame
I keep it locked, not to keep you out
Mama told me not to let a viper in the house
Baby gots venom, I'm still a huckleberry
It's the vanity that makes the samurai wary
The jagged parts of my life are the only parts that I've got
And they make good for building a city around the heart
[Pre Chorus:]
You wanna be right and get what you want
Yeah, you wanna sure thing and a pleasant surprise
I can't promise it all, but I'll give you good love
And a full heart cos you the Triforce of my eye
[Bridge:]
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
[Chorus:]
Waiting down, don't try to figure it out
My past gon' make your daddy grab his pistol
Cuz when the gravity hits ya
I'll be right there to lift ya
I can take fire without giving hate
So long to that stranger you knew
So long to a new mind
So long to your red, white, and blue
So long to the good vibe
Packed up the bottle, burned another dollar
Time to see if my luck is any better than the next time
Sworn my lover I wouldn't let her in
I have these walls I built long ago and they're thick
I'm an exit, moments flow through me
Nobody's tool except my heart when its pulling
