lyrics

He’p me leaven the loaf he’p me le’v’ in duh bo’
And I been likin’ the potion that I find on my own
Each time I mind myself…whole
I be leavin’ the ghost to find I’m bein’ the ghos’

I get I gotch eh I get I gotch I get I got
I call de doc I gat it a lot
We can live in the fores’ and plant it down by the coas’
And I swear—my god—I might if were I a ghos’

Picture me and floozies, picture me in grey
Roll around and around and around and uh
fixture bein’ fey
Is I, I am, I’m beggin’ for you to go
He’p me leaven the loaf he’p me le’v’ in duh bo’

Cut the pleas, sympathies, and all you got when you choke
Indeed I find myself…broke
In accordance with the voices I do hereby proclaim
The matter at hand, for me and you, is avoiding pain

What I share (with doctors by my side)
I be making chapters for their lit’rature in kind
Fill me up modicum of dropsicalic dose
We can live in the fores’ and plant it down by the coas’
I be leavin’ the ghost to find I’m bein’ the ghos’
