PINOCCHIO WHO?

lyrics

A fist full of thorns/
A mouth full of petals/
A backpack full of metal inside of a dark ghetto/
A wooden boy lost/
Just trying to be a man/
...The block is on fire/
They finally understand.../
Da book of matches

Forfeited his future for more pain/
Unfortunately the fortune he was chasin never came/
When he walked in the rain/
he swole up and started creaking/
When the demons began speaking/
the tears he held back began leaking/
Made a choice/
odds weren't at odds with the daily mirage/
And he been tryna get the fuck outta dodge/
He sold everything/
Including the little hope that he had/
It was potent wrote in gold on a pad/
His dreams and nightmares lyrically/
See That was part of the trap/
to keep you thinking it was only a rap but its Pure sap/
Poured from the gut of his veins his skin changed and became wood grain/
Termites all in his brain/

He has a fist full of thorns/
A mouth full of petals/
A backpack full of metal inside of a dark ghetto/
A wooden boy lost/
Just trying to be a man/
The block is on fire/
They finally understand.../
Da book of matches

Catalyst of full frontal assault/
Cause lookin back into my past I'd be a pillar of salt/
Da Caterpillar told Alice to walk/
When every corner got a devil they embezzle for bezels/
The diamonds cut another bevel this a deeper level/
Dust storms that never settle/
Didn't whittle him down/
Its profound/
Two by four for legs/
Was forced to stand instead/
He made the choice he felt they left the poor for dead/
Became a banzai /
kamikaze Tendencies/
His heart was ten degrees lower than it's meant to be/
Began budding and thuggin bugging/
Trying find room to stretch his branches/
Plotting on bank branches/
Rankin his chances/
The next day/
would be his moment of truth/
Dug in his roots and committed himself to shoot/
Was all about the loot and da plot was resolute/
Didn't understand they had lead him to the bed of the dead recruits/

He has a fist full of thorns/
A mouth full of petals/
A backpack full of metal inside of a dark ghetto/
A wooden boy lost/
Just trying to be a man/
The block is on fire/
They finally understand.../
Da book of matches

Little stick man/
Waiting in line to line his pocket in the line for the deposits/
Wit a nine wit nine rockets/
Counted four cameras/
Two guards and nine sockets/
Five times his hands dived in a pocket..but couldn't stop it/
Sweaty hands/
No breeze/
But the demons told him dat it would be a breeze/
leave wit at least 4Gs/
The golden scribble on the paper was the letter/
Simple demands/
Tell his mother he had done all he can../
It said "fuck money"/
screamed wit a gun in his hand/
He didn't want a penny/
Too much dirt in the core/
He poured all the bullet shells to the floor/
Was it right on time? Or too late? The pigs rushed the door...wont no one question what they bucking for/
The blood rushed from his body like a wave to the shore/ .......LIT HIM UP...
