Flag Pole

Oh say can you see by the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming

Old memories of livin in my parents van
Poor family I can even share a crayon
A Ford but couldn’t any caravan
Left the care out in the woods where the air is thin
Rocky mountain roach clips with the painted feathers
All three can get you high but it ain't forever
Got no housing though it sits eight family members
It’s all free till you find you can’t escape the weather
Without a hole to piss on the road you trippin
Ain't no going back to then when all your roads have shoulders missing
Hold up listen gotta use the past to lead you through the path
Narrow road or sterile pole move your ass
Even when the flag on it you can get your ass on it
Samy got stacks for the trap and a tax on it
Hanging out back where the streets got crack on it
Drag you off his lawn then bring you back to cut the grass on it

Oh say can you see by the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming
Lo and behold I see the eye on the pyramid of cans
Crushing Michelob Dry’s for a dime though for like a period of ten
Life was but a drive no knowing where we going or began
I mean damn whole fam in a hotel
Had to run a scam on the owner man don’t tell
Four inside one bed with the dog out the window going shit
Never said that mine don’t smell
Living blind like justice ain't no bail
Like why am I cuffed to a broke bell
Hardways and Propositions on the hotel
Always gott’em jiggling hope ya throw well
Holding L’s cus can’t hold your own
But you gotta own and with an L that’s a loan
You startin' with an L and you endin’ with an L
Now you just a big zero in the middle of it all
LOL how the devil spell freedom
Well it’s a spell of the devil to be free dumb
It’s an oh well or a big ol’ well
When nobody can tell where we going or where we from
On the tree’s we swung but on the tree’s we hung
All of these leave us to wonder bout these thumbs
Hitchhiking from kingdom to kingdom
Kinda gives motor skills a whole new meaning

Bring your tired your poor and huddled masses
Oh say can you see by the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming

Dropping old skeletons in them sixteens
Gottem hoping out my closet in this sentencing
Now all I got in this closet is an M16
And a shot gun back when they kept tempting me
Had to touch’em and pick’em up I was ten I think
Curiosity on ten I’d peek half brother would leave’em up on the bed
Remembering that I’d sneak and go and point’em at my sister to pretend I’m he
That mother fucker blew a hole in his car door
Stupid got lucky that he didn’t lose an arm
Sure luck is a lady but she ain't no kind of armor
I’m thinking maybe you should kindly disarm her
Momma made a comment that a target or a car uhhhh
I’d say that’s that karma
You gotta reap what you sow less the reaper’s all you know
Ain't no insurance for them fuckers, I mean Farmers

Oh say can you see by the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming
At the twilights at the twilights last gleaming
