"Carpetbagger" lyrics

"Carpetbagger"
(feat. Elucid)

Whoa

Olive drab army jacket linin'
That's how I ride around shinin', like the Pope
Thermals under coat, coins for the boat
Forked road, I took both
Frostbit in flurried snow
Passed towns choked with black smoke
"No water needed," said Black folk
"We seent it when them cracks showed"
Exchange pounds, lit the dro
Let it go 'round, then kept it movin' twice as fast though
(Twice as fast though)

Bombed out by dawn
Long john arms furs and flannel
Hobo commando, rusty revolvers, haunted pianos
Look out below!
Splash, cold water wake-up, don't pray for us
Rose and faced the sun
Stared down through taco shell colored eyes
I and I survive, destiny or by design
Restless Canaanite, fading light, shake the dice
Rolling trip till that elevator cable popped
Weightless faith like make a wish
Hope play broken myth loopy
Polish biscuit tucked inside of a trench, goofy

Serpentine roads, Gabardine robes
In dreams, fire rolls
Wake to cold coals, cinders, ash
Pyramids glass
Pharaohs laugh behind death mask
Panic Rooms filled with cash
Tombs pried open, smash and grab
Split the stash in sand dunes, shared sour gas
Cowards cowering as the final hour passed
No fiery lake
The crafty ape left to his fate
