David & Goliath

[Verse 1]

Before I ever spoke, you warned people I was quiet

Coughing when you'd smoke was synonymous to riot

You'd play rough with syllables and break my bones

I would play invincible to sticks and stones

That I'd pick up when you'd hiccup from the liquor

You'd fall quicker than when David shot Goliath


[Verse 2]

Mama always said my words hit harder than a bullet

Got a trigger for a mouth but every time I'd pull it

You'd play rough with decibels to shut me up

Then you'd make it physical and I would run

Up the staircase where you'd fall

Face down from stumbling up the crumbling bout of steps

All thanks to karma


[Verse 3]

But karma takes a while

I could work much faster

I am just a child and you are always plastеred

If you're such a bad, bad man

Mama wouldn't be mad thеn

Maybe she can finally be happy


[Verse 4]

Tippy-toed I'll reach for your overused prescriptions

These labels with your name cover copycat addictions

Empty bottles weigh much more than when they're full

This will prove that you are not invincible

While you sleep still, I'll mix those pills in that liquor

You'll fall quicker than when David shot Goliath


[Outro]

Push me to the side while you're barely breathing

I'll say "suicide" and they will believe me

"He was just a sad sad man

Do you even blame him

God knows he would never be happy."

Maybe I can finally be happy
