"NOT THE SPIRIT" lyrics
Dominic Fike & Danny Brown Lyrics
[Dominic Fike:]
If I had a dime, déjà vu, I'm here again
I am not the spirit, I'm the mirror man
So watch what you say to yourself
If I could reclimb, I would've stayed on the shelf
Every time I play the game, I'm playing with myself
I should try to sign, should go defer
Instead of laying around
I used to get help from the state
It was gloomy Christmas Day
If I had one-fifty back when Rob had a Biggie, I'd be a Jay
If I had stuck around and raised my father
I'd have pennies on a pinch, huh, anyway
I'm glad they fixed the sky, kept on falling on me, anyway
Glad they fixed my story, was a allegory
And sad, it's just a matic world
So, what happened Dom? You went up to the vast majority
I say, "It didn't happen to me, happened for me"
If I, had, a dime from every time that we went broke
Would I (would I) even, break even, maybe, but every time that we went broke
If I (If I had), had, (just a dime) a dime from every time that we went broke
Would I (Would I) even, break even (make any), maybe, but
(Would I?)
[Danny Brown:]
Like Dracula in a fun house, I just wanna run out
Dripping on a one-way street
And then I spun out
Never come out when the sun's out
'Cause the moonlight keep me calm
Like I'm stepping out into the beat
'Cause my favorite song came on
What's in the mirror? Can't even trust
Got seven years of bad luck
'Cause the image breaking up
And the porcelains gone to rust
I cube up a sea bass
Dead bird in tall grass
Prayed for so long
I could've used some knee pads
Freed myself from the demons
Now I can find my angels
Choked on my words
When the heart strings tangle
When my ashes coat the ocean
I'm just hoping that y'all notice
The reflection that's in front of me
That's my only enemy
