Bugzy Malone
Ten Excuses
[Verse 1]
One too many bad memories
And two many friends turn enemies
Three more sips of this Alize
And I think my thoughts might turn venomous
A four-wheel drive on my S-Line
I'm five figures in so I take time
Six more songs on a deadline
I gotta make this track then it's bedtime
I've been meaning to do it since yesterday
The anxiety's getting the best of me
Sittin' up worrying about ifs and buts, fabricated jeopardy
My n***a just got stabbed off a n***a that I known since I was on the roadside properly
Still the dust ain't settlin'
And the Alize's kickin' in
Seven signs of a soldier
Eight millimeters to the left
And it coulda been his jugular vein game over
Nine things I try not to remember
Ten bad guys in my nightmare
Ten reasons why I don't care
I've been dancing with the devil since 2Pac was alive
And I've still lost out here

[Chorus]
I've been countin'
I've been countin'
I've been countin' to ten
Just tryna, make excuses for the places I've been
And now I'm hard taking
Still, I'm paper chasin'
I've been dancin' with the devil my whole damn life
[Verse 2]
One more late night
Two many spectators in my life
All wearing 3D glasses
And watching as four women try ruin my life
Mum sister girl mistress
The mistress is my queen
I can't get enough of the queen's head
She got me running into the smokescreen
Just chasin' paper avoiding feds
'Cause I can't get away from the five-o
So I'm swerving, on the M6
And I'm picking up speed like a rhino
I can't see my destination
And nobody gave me an explanation
So I had a seven word conversation with a shrink
Then left 'cause I'm too impatient
Eight more phone numbers deleted
Nine women that I never wanted to be with
They call me a prick, said that I broken their heart
And I didn't wanna pick up the pieces, ha
But that's just life and it's not fair
The devil's always gonna be there
Ten more bad guys in my nightmare
Ten more reasons why I don't care
[Chorus]
I've been countin'
I've been countin'
I've been countin' to ten
Just tryna, make excuses for the places I've been
And now I'm hard taking
Still I'm paper chasin'
I've been dancin' with the devil my whole damn life

[Outro]
Whole damn life
Whole, whole damn life
Whole damn life
Whole, whole damn-
I've been dancing with the devil
Dancing with the devil
Time and time and time and time again
Whole damn life
Whole, whole damn life
Whole damn life
Whole, whole damn-
I've been dancing with the devil
Dancing with the devil
Time and time and time and time again
