paroles de chanson The Sunken Place - X-Raided

She was a fan of underground rappers
She knew all of their rhymes
There was one in particular
Who was locked up doing time
She wondered where he was
So she looked him up online
Searchin' for his address
Wasn't certain she would find it
But she did
Sent a message saying he was on her mind
Read all the articles about him
And didn't think he did the crime
Said she was willing to visit
That is if he was inclined
No disrespect would be taken
If he happened to decline
To her surprise he wrote her back
So she massaged him again
Sent some half naked pictures
Said she would like be friends
She wanted to be his pal
You know, like the pen
Palpable sense of humor
She said "No pun intended
Didn't take a long time for him to decide to be a suitor
Although most of their interactions
Had to happen through computer
She's astute and kinda cute
Bit of a square, a late bloomer
He wanted to change his life
So he happily pursued her
Sooner or later his family started to debate her intentions
Like, "What type of woman
Wants to date a man with Life in prison"
Like, "Since when did women start thinking
That's a normal decision?
Acts like she been there from the beginning
That's historical revision"
That rhetorical in-qui-sition isn't lifting the veil
Like, "He don't know what she's doin
While he's sitting in that cell!
She only wants him for his mail
Can't you see? Can't you tell?"
Guess sometimes you have to fail to learn a cautionary tale

And now he's feeling' like he's stuck in place
Living in a drunken state
Sinking in the sunken place
He had to get out (Get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
What should I do?
Now he's feeling' like he's stuck in place
Living in a drunken state
Sinking in the sunken place
He had to get out (Get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
What should I do?

He had lost all his appeals
Hadn't lost all his appeal
Highly skilled as a rapper
Hadn't lost all of his zeal
He was never going home
Despite that fact began to heal
Then the laws began to change
And it started gettin real
Yet and still kept the facade
After so much time it wasn't odd
That he had a wife and a life that he'd never had before
But maybe God
Had blessed him after a test
And he learned his lesson unless that logic's flawed
But he second-guessed Him cuz he felt less than worthy
A dirty toxic fraud
It's a caustic mix when fantasy
And reality collides and hits head on
But he's head strong so his fallacies and pride conflicts
He tries to find the conviction inside
To put that aside and stick to the script
And convince himself that none of this
Is a lie or fiction causing friction
Now he's sick and tired
He can't find the path lately
Dr. Jeckle, Mr. Hyde
Feel like he's sawed in half lately
Like he's dying on the inside
He finds it hard to laugh lately
One plus one should equal two
But he can't do the math lately

And now he's feeling' like he's stuck in place
Living in a drunken state
Sinking in the sunken place
He had to get out (Get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
What should I do?

She doesn't like his shoes (Nope)
Doesn't like his clothes (Nope)
Doesn't like his views (Nope)
Doesn't like his bros (Nope)
Don't know what to do (Nope)
He don't where to go (Nope)
He finds it hard to review who he was before
Therefore he sits there and prepares
To partake in the family dinner
Before the food came out someone said
"Hey, let's take a family picture"
Gets the camera out
Cleaned the lens and shushed him before he spoke
She fixed his hat and brushed his coat
Then she stood right in the center
And said, "Come on, everybody needs to heard in close-ly
Big smiles for the camera
Keep the perfect pose, please
She goes, "Cheeeeeese"
The camera flashed in his face
His hands started to shake and he got a nosebleed
He froze (he froze)
He froze (He froze)
And then he looked into her eyes
And he spoke slowly
He said, "We don't know who we are
Cuz I'm not me and you're not you
So at the end of day there's nothing left for us to say or do
To say or do
To say or do
To say or do
To say or do
At the end of day there's nothing left for us to say or do
(To say or do) to say or do
Except to just divorce and heal
And stop living life like our story was written by Jordan Peele

Feeling' like he's stuck in place
Living in a drunken state
Sinking in the sunken place
He had to get out (Get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
What should I do?
Feeling' like he's stuck in place
Living in a drunken state
Sinking in the sunken place
He had to get out (Get out)
Get out (get out)
Get out (get out)
What should I do?
