lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm ashing cigarettes, and I ain't even smoke ‘em
Reciting lyrics, and I ain’t ever wrote ‘em
Feelings got me fucked up, like the bottom of the totem
As I struggle with my strength, they on my back, I’m trying hold em
Hold it back is what they told me, hold them back is what they told him
Hold my bag if he got problems, I won’t hesitate to fold him
Everyday I’m in the laboratory, perfecting my potions
Pot bubbles, witches brew, please stand back it just might scold him
Holding gold inside my heart, I stay true straight from the start
Seems as though our stars aligned, but we are planets apart
My plans is just looking candid, cause planning for me is hard
Rather life be unpredicted, thats just breeding grounds for art
Its really getting to me, shit I’m often mellow moody
Searching for my chest of rubies, no I do not want you doobies
Sound is off, I’m watching movies, fuck you doing talking to me?
You should walk up out of here, sorry I can’t hang with goofies

[Chorus]
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos

[Verse 2]
I’m back by popular demand, so I demand attention
Another message for ass, so I hope you learn your lesson
Indecisive like a curse, always stuck on second guessing
Like my gut don’t ever work, or my psyche just don’t trust it
Aye, I’m in cycle with some weed liquor
My innocence could not leave me quicker
I’m on the hunt, searching for elixir
Or a better way that I could live forever
Forever ever, all I’m really after
I know my body is just matter, it don’t really matter
Shit get sadder if you let it, superficial habits
Fall victim to the pattern, now your soul distracted

[Chorus]
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos
