Tater Tot Lyrics - Gutter Rainbows - Talib Kweli

[Intro]I'm just wondering what the heck is in our water supply 

What the heck is in our oxygen supply 

that creates a rainbow effect in the sprinklers? 

What is oozing out of our ground 

that allows this type of effect to happen? 

It's not just around our sun and our moon any more 

Everywhere we look, the visible spectrum, is rainbows 

This can not be natural 

We as a nation have got to ask ourselves 

what the hell is going on? 

What is oozing out of our ground? 

The day that I enlisted 

was the result of a prior visit with Jesus Christ felt like I was lifted 

Then I got injured and the hospital was like a prison 

Fell out of touch with my faith I was nihilistic 

They call me Cyclops, cause I was blind in one eye 

I'm out the army now I'm tryin to decide 

how to properly fit in with civilians I'm used to killin 

Got me feelin all confused who the hero and who the villain 

Hopped in my red Camaro, shot down the street like lead in a barrel 

Decked out in my veteran apparel 

I drove aimlessly for miles until I saw this 

country that'd want me to kill; I took a bullet for this muh'fucker 

Thousand miles later finally made a stop 

Small town restaurant, God damn the waitress hot 

Ordered tater tots, got her number, later that night 

We was at the bar, takin shots 'til we fell in love 

I said let's go Las Vegas and do this 

Knew this wasn't made for my soul 

Drove all night and was awakened to cold

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

She wanna play the slots, nicknamed her Tater Tot 

cause of how we met, cool I need a shower, bet 

Found a motel on the strip, I'm checkin in 

when out the blue some Mexicans came in the lobby like they 'bout to shoot 

some Asians that was runnin down the hall with they guns brazen 

Now e'rybody pullin out they shit like it's an invasion! 

The Mexicans let them Asians have it; Asians had to fire back 

'til they was outta bullets and the blood splattered everywhere 

Deal gone bad or somebody robbin 

Either way somebody's rotten all I hear is bodies droppin 

I jump behind the front desk in the nick of time 

The crook is on the floor, his blood made me slip and slide 

But I'm the last man standin 

A reflex made me grab a cannon out a dyin man's hand 

Then I noticed that a car was runnin 

Sack of guns on the floor plus unmarked bills by the hundreds 

Driver comin at me gunnin 

Sirens blarin in the distance cause the caps are comin 

I spun around and I hit the deck 

Heard the bullets whiz by my ear I let off, hit him in the chest 

Quicker than the bullets left the chamber 

I grabbed the sack off the floor hit the door with the bangers 

Lookin for my lady at the casino, she was in the zone 

I said "We gotta go" she like "Why?" and I'm like "C'MON!" 

No need to gamble baby, here the lick 

Put the chips down we gotta go right now, this little shit 

Now we speedin down the I-15 

First time I noticed that her eyes were green 

gave her a gun and a magazine 

I made her count the loot 

But when she saw the score she pointed the gun at me 

Now she about to shoot {blam, blam blam}
