Open Mike Eagle + Paul White
The Curse of Hypervigilance (in Politics, Romance, and Cohabitation)
[Verse 1]
You came through town in an old Jeep
Looking like 1997
Won a few hearts with a bold speech
Talking 'bout let's go find the weapons
Talking 'bout let's be good again
And looking like all n***as ever wanted oh
Big time bank hand wins again
We get a new name plate but they own the Office
Feels so good when we go to auction
Four year lease with a low deposit
Get a hundred loans so you can go to college
Your diploma's rolled into a polish sausage
Umpteenth time we believe the theater
Wished upon a piece of meteor
While the greediest men, they needed disguise
But here's a news flash: the media lies
Dang
[Hook]
I've seen it all, I've seen it all
Shoulda known, shoulda known (x2)
[Verse 2]
How long was you pent up
Your little pinch of defense sucks
You was an early bird to the 33rd
But that certain word was you tensed up
And I know cause I'm watching too close
Like a type-2 dude with food with mad glucose
Hark! who goes there? I'm centurian
I'd be curious as my caesarian section
Alas shit look mysterious
Inside-quakes coulda shook the pyramids
Searching between all the Cushion areas
I warned you I wish you took me serious
Deleterious been dropping facts
They got co-conspirators so watch your back
And I'm paranoid so you can not relax
And I never holla so don't holla back
[Hook]
[Verse 3] (x2)
You put some shit in my mashed potatoes
The list of suspects is just you
You put a scratch on my Masekela
Put a tiny rock on my left shoe
Put smelly shit on my car keys
Sticky shit in my Arizona
Shrunk my shirt so the arms squeeze
Hid my miniature Testarossa
