Poor Company
[Verse 1: billy woods]
Said erry name 'fore they even put the squeeze
Friends like these, who needs enemies?
Got the news, Old Earth fell to her knees
Polished the shoes, I got the suit dry cleaned
Family tight-lipped, but I heard it was lean
Wig flipped when I seen his daughter's seventeen
Sad shit, but if we bein' real
Your dad was a prick
Lie, cheat, steal
Anything from him, best double check on your own scale
Rumors were he snitched, depends who you believe
Either way, that's two bits you can take or leave
Instead, mumbled somethin' about "space to grieve"
All I could muster, old hustler, tired of the hustle
Going out like Iverson, chuckin'
Brick after brick, rip guitar lick
The boxcutter went, then he dipped
Jill sprung Jack out on bail
Then they skipped, through strawberry fields
Wore it out for two days straight, up in the motel
Then he left while she slept, money out the purse
It's an old story, I just changed a couple words

[Chorus: billy woods]
You don’t matter at all (yuh yuh yuh)
You don’t matter at all (yuh yuh yuh)
You don’t matter at all (yuh yuh yuh)
You don’t matter at all (yuh yuh yuh)
You don’t matter at all (yuh yuh yuh)
You don’t matter at all (you don't matter at all)
You don’t matter at all (you don't matter at all)
You don’t matter at all (you don't matter at all)

[Verse 2: E L U C I D]
Shabach in the highest, damp iris
Wrestle not in the flesh, self-righteous
New breath, same old missteps, try me
Curved the hex, Why you wanna do me grimy?
Time canceled out in dreams
Black Yaki Rhyme weave, HD full screen
Side piece peaked, leak coconut cream
Ocean aquatic, back in the pocket
Dove leagues
At the core, rotten
Something's off, talking shit as the Claw grips tighter
Straw man in the Mire
Trag Khadafi bleed through Aiwa
Eyes up, spun the wheel of life
Want the knife before my yarn's cut, eyes up
(I want the knife)

[Verse 3: Henry Canyons]
No way, no way
No way, no way
Can’t put the blame on me
Shame on you, and you lost face
Damn, it seems so strange
No wonder you never been the same
No way, no way
No way, no way
Can’t put the blame on me
Shame on you, and you lost face
Damn, it seems so strange
No wonder you never been the same
Starry night, late December
Fate of a friendship surrendered
Heard it through the hallway
"Dad can I crash at Henri's?"
He took long to respond
"C'mon", "Now don’t start!
Promise me no drinks, no drugs, and no pot"
Karma's why we got caught
For a start, hit the park for the onslaught
Hop the wall off Montgomery
Never thought my best friend would become poor company
Rolled up, "Oh fuck! Yo, steam the leaf it’s an old dutch"
Took a puff, perfectly salvaged
Smoke rising, deciding the night’s tactic
Hit the two to the one, Annie's got a free crib
Franklin and Varick. Dope!
Open the door, circle of seven chicks playing truth or dare
Mad blow, mad drinks, all sitting on the floor
Swooped in, sat down
Hit the coke like a snow plow
Slammed three shots, leaned over, told him, "Slow down"
'Bout an hour later, hit the ground, face blue, face down
What to do? Who to call? And to say how?
EMT and his dad on their way now
Thank God that he came out—unscathed
I'll forever remember that shakedown
(I'll forever remember that shakedown)
No way, no way
No way, no way
Can’t put the blame on me
Shame on you, and you lost face
Damn, it seems so strange
No wonder you never been the same
No way, no way
No way, no way
Can’t put the blame on me
Shame on you, and you lost face
Damn, it seems so strange
No wonder you never been the same
