Tape Lyrics - Brockhampton

I could barely rap, I could barely dance 

I could barely laugh, I could barely hang 

And there's a male stripper doing a belly dance 

For me and my boyfriend still the same 

And I'm drunk as fuck, nigga sucks up 

For a reason to get my bucks up 

And the reason I care about society 

Is a good enough reason just to hire me 

But honestly, 

see my mom can't walk and her lungs don't work like they used to 

And I feel like it's my fault 'cause of music 

I be saying shit just to fucking ruined it, I'm truant 

But truthfully, the words had damage and it's fooling me 

But even more cruel to be, 

this is here for you niggas that paid to hear me

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Sometimes I be wondering, why I been tripping off 

And I should probably spend my time 

writing rhymes in the dentist's office 

That's killing two birds with one stone 

When I was younger, way before I was grown 

I wanted a deal with Death Row or Rhymesayers 

I'm saving my time for mics later 

I might save it, depending on the shit that y'all write later 

I hate writers; I hate tweets; I hate journalists 

They hate truth; they hate peace; they want my niggas to burn 

Photos 

Flicking on the face of my wrist watch 

Watch the time stop just to speak up, watch life unfold 

And between the tick-tocks, speeding down the one way 

Fuck these signs, fuck these lights, put my life on the line 

When it feel right, I'm fine, no I'm not lyin', don't ask me 

I'll pay the fine, I'll pay the toll, just hope I don't crash it 

But hey, if I do, it will be a blaze of glory 

Engulfed by the manifestation of death behind me 

All my life I've felt inadequate, 

and through the years I've dealt with 

Tragedy after tragedy, God, send a message 

Send a messenger my way, never claimed to be a saint, forgive me 

Feel like the light that I was blessed with has diminished 

I'm haunted, by the visions of my youth turned true 

I've come to expect my expectations aren't true 

But I'm a master of believing my lies 

And you can't break me, and I can break at the speed of light 

I'm afraid to share the bed, what if she want money later 

Like she got laid off, uh, hit my lawyer for some paper 

I'm afraid to speak my pains like you're lucky where you at 

You cool but quit complaining 'bout all dat 

That's why I'm showing up late 

I'm not tryna be a dick, but my time is not to waste 

For myself, for the small talk with my sensei, where my sense at? 

Four-cylinder go round, Lincoln towncar pick me up 

Drop me off, I got bubble under my biceps, meet me into the sidestep 

Ego is getting sized up, I be on butterfly effect 

Fuck it I'll be myself now, tell 'em I take no shit now 

Tell 'em they work for me now, tell 'em my tears, they bleed down 

Tell 'em I work like what, what time for me now 

Wondering who is me now, wondering where you been now 

Lose you in crowds, I see you now, 

fourteen, I see 'em all inside of me now 

Bank account with less fees now, make it from ways to feed now 

Thinking of ways to be everything but right now 

It's crazy how things that are best reminisce when we check ourselves 

It's crazy how people who left started 

feeling left out when we step for health 

Still accustomed to nights filled with solitude 

I don't always remember to call goodnight 

I don't always remember my altitude 

I don't always remember to stop the fight 

But I might check my sight, it ain't right 

Yeah I know, but my strife overwhelms, every night 

Until I'm forced to close my eyes 

Brain disease, parasite, eating me from inside 

Emotions bleed, I can't believe, how I'm sleeping through the night
