Skiff - Love For Me lyrics
rate mePeace to the people that let me sleep on their couches
A couple years later I’m contemplating accountant
Apartment, browsing…fountains
Stress only making your problems feel more compounding
I know about this world that we live in, been all around it
I lived in four states before I had an allowance
My father preached balance, mother breeds talent
The youngest of three Skiffs started out with a challenge
The bar and the killers, slash glass, refill it
Trapped in this rap, till there’s bros in this villa
Though I got a car, money’s gone if I fill her
I never should’ve phoned for the throne or the dealer
Long chair, blondes, my palms appear strong
My lawyers all rounded on, I’m the preppy girl killer
Till the day that I can say that money stands between us
I’m on a road to riches, it’s my standard basis
You know I got a car that’s broke down
Phone doesn’t work
Had money for my bills but I spent it on a shirt
I put aside some love for me
I put aside some love for me
Summer nights, I stay the coldest of the clique
Frost bit, nauseous, boulders on my wrist
Still I’m loaning out my whip
I put aside some love for me
I put aside some love for me
Ok, I got sick of chasing after the critics that used to doubt you
Now suddenly I’m closer to people I thought I outgrew
Money was an issue so I catered to school
Nigga Ricky from Philly used to blaze with a fool
I was out of shape, easy to agitate
One Saturday I got cut from the team, me, I didn’t have a date
Started writing this music, I took a stab at fate
Skiff, feeling like rap’s roudy, though I’m the average weight
I pay for studio time when have no food in my fridge
Roommates are crazy, went desperate, I never knew what they did
The only girl I really liked started dating somebody else
She would cheat on him with me, but I needed her for myself
Outside of Boston with neighbors that didn’t speak any English
They didn’t need a linguist to understand that Skiff’s a lyrical genius
Went from suit and tie, tried to apply looking distinguished
Glass half full at the time, still need a drink
You know I got a car that’s broke down
Phone doesn’t work
Had money for my bills but I spent it on a shirt
I put aside some love for me
I put aside some love for me
Summer nights, I stay the coldest of the clique
Frost bit, nauseous, boulders on my wrist
Still I’m loaning out my whip
I put aside some love for me
I put aside some love for me
This world was built of material things
Our brains are washed down to the serial name
My communications degree was accumulating no cheese
And the market had just collapsed so not stacking wagers on me
Running in and out of moods like bipolars on boosts
Attached to the chocolate, all the prepies on the loose
Thinking that my vibe done, I could blink at live women
Now I’m ‘bout to bubble like synchronized swimming
My girl eat salmon with salad, don’t go tanning
The natural sun of my planet, it’s organic
I had the raw talent, just polished up my mechanics
My canvas extended, it stretches for four planets
Ruby gets more cuddy than the stars, check
Work beats talent, I study smarter, yes
Me with three dimes is a foreseeable future
Though I don’t have the force to … you
You know I got a car that’s broke down
Phone doesn’t work
Had money for my bills but I spent it on a shirt
I put aside some love for me
I put aside some love for me
Summer nights, I stay the coldest of the clique
Frost bit, nauseous, boulders on my wrist
Still I’m loaning out my whip
I put aside some love for me
I put aside some love for me
