Oxygen

Bring me up, then bring me down Ringing in my ears til I hit the ground Cheers to the years that I fooled around Never steered clear of the jewels and the pounds Take a deep breath, decompress your chest Death'd be better than respiratory arrest Too many cooks not when I'm the chef cos I would never dilute any litmus test All I need is oxygen It beats any intoxicants With every dose I inundate Each breathe I take I elevate These noises ring I drown em out Each choice I make live em loud Ordained in sin I wear the crown Inhale the world cos I won't slow down Exhale slow gotta make it last Blow for blow til you break the fast Day runs slow gotta wear the mask But I beguile like Blair when he bombed Iraq Wanna abscond but I watch the clock As the time rolls on the air swaps to fog So I drop the stocks break out the box Suck oxygen til I'm off of my block Veins cold flooding with a liberating rush Like a kid I'm in a candy store but call it Crimes R Us But the man will never look at me and say that I'm a thug Cos I'm whiter than the custards that I'm dippin in my mug Lovin every second I'm a sucker for the buzz Stacking paper burning craters lost a billy bucks So if you wanna hear my sermon I'm about to gush Dearly beloved we are gathered here to bust a milly nuts Brain so scattered I cannot think straight But pain don't matter when your lungs inflate Lames can't drink but Ima sink lakes No tamin temptation I'm becoming irate Live in the now and live for the fouls Pound for the pound I'm the sickest around Quick with the stick I'm lifting all gowns Til I hit the crypt, six underground Thunder clouds, gather round Numbered days, run it down Under rain, hear the sound Gutters break, bodies drown Iron oxidise when your skin starts drying Precipitate a paradigm of people complying Corroded by the guilt perpetuate your buying But I've got the pills and they're multiplying All I need is oxygen It beats any intoxicants With every dose I inundate Each breath I take I elevate These noises ring I drown em out Each choice I make live em loud Ordained in sin I wear the crown Inhale the world cos I won't slow down All I need is oxygen It beats any intoxicants With every dose I inundate Each breathe I take I elevate These noises ring I drown em out Each choice I make live em loud Ordained in sin I wear the crown Inhale the world cos I won't slow down Some days I'm Cain and others I'm Abel Dance with the devil do doggy with the angels Call me disgraceful, don't be so papal Feigning shame is just another fable Know I'm many things and I'm certainly a face full But I've never been beholden to labels Stake my claim and then say my name Never gonna say that I came too late Sicker than a motherfucker know I'm gonna run up on ya Lookin like a biller but I may be just another number Cos I never wanted my sins taken by our father With the parts of me I'm breaking they could make another martyr Cos I take the medication over any meditation Facing pain and flagellation are my favourite combination As a reprobate I emanate an air of man's salvation Push away from principle and truly find my own purgation Inherited mistakes, chains we never break Take to the grave expectations weight Or choose to mutate, maybe levitate Shoot to the sky and punch your god in the face Loot the heavens head down to hell What's left to do with nothing left to sell What's left to do when you exist to rebel Freedom reigns but what's left of the shell Rain it fell, hear death knell Ears they ring to the tolling bell Hands were felt, said farewells Mind in a box with the body in a cell Time is up and you're crashing down Feet are free but your hands are bound Leave in peace hear the silent sounds Or unleash the beast and go one more round All I need is oxygen It beats any intoxicants With every dose I inundate Each breath I take I elevate These noises ring I drown em out Each choice I make live em loud Ordained in sin I wear the crown Inhale the world cos I won't slow down All I need is oxygen It beats any intoxicants With every dose I inundate Each breathe I take I elevate These noises ring I drown em out Each choice I make live em loud Ordained in sin I wear the crown Inhale the world cos I won't slow down
