Return the Cost - Intellectual

[Intro: Cheap Sober]

They kept askin' me

So I thought, fuck it

We'll make this one official

Return the Cost

Check

At times, I felt like nothin’ was worth it

Nothing could lift me up from the surface

Stuck in the swamp with hundreds o’ serpents

Covered in mud, smothered in dirt

I was fucked up, drunk off the bourbons

Stumblin' home to chuck up on the curtains

Under the furnace, burnin' hot

One thing was for certain, I deserved the lot

Cursed the cross, it hurt, hurt to watch

Everybody cruise straight as ya swervin' off

The road, approaching a herd o’ cops

All ready for crunch time, vermin pop

Starin’ at the sky with bundles of burdens

Rain came down and I felt so lost

One hundred million miles from perfect

What can I do to return the cost?

Eines Tages werde ich mich freuen

Eines Tages werd' ich jubeln und schrei'n

Denn Eines Tages wird wie in meinen Träumen

I'm the adventurous sort whose temper is short

Too demented and self-centred for my friends to adore

Whenever I enter a store, I'm just tempted to score

'Cause I want me what's in that register more than the Centrelink form

A menace for sure, a thief and a liar, too

My biggest dream was to feed my entire crew

But through my teens, all my deepest desires grew

I ain't buyin’ food, I'm just fiendin' a quiet brew

Or even quite a few, it's becomin’ a habit

This is somethin’ I haven't admitted, but when I maggot

My broken emotions go, they fuckin' just vanish

All the stuff I've ever done to be damaged, none of it matters

I'm loved as a rapper, my verses are boss

Even though my voice is annoyin’ as Kermit the Frog's

When I murder a hot beat, all the turbulence stops

It's like every word that I drop is returnin’ the cost, yeah

Eines Tages werde ich mich freuen

Eines Tages werd' ich jubeln und schrei'n

Denn Eines Tages wird wie in meinen Träumen
