Текст песни Rotten Core! - Quinston Pugh feat. Kemist

Confederate flags standing tall in my neighborhood
I never saw the hood, but I knew how to get mine
Situations on replay, clouding my young mind
Hard to interpret the racist jabs at my sunshine
Still life was simple
Itching hard for a rewind
Hardest decision was picking Crayola Crayons
Followed the rules, I only shot from the foul line
Timid and sweet, I turned a grape to some fine wine
It's my time
Got the clarity I needed
I soon began to blossom
Set my story like a thesis
Living wit my brother, situations turned facetious
But I had to untie my inhibitions like a sneaker

A natural born leader
Ain't happen to know it yet
I used to hold it all, now I'm pushing the chest press
Felt like I would fall, till I leveled them high steps
The Devil like monopoly, he waiting to collect

But I will pass Go
They hoping I won't have a chance
Want me to sleep on the floor
The hate be feeling so romantic
Watching me like they Joe
And so I keep on climbing high, I'm passing all the plateaus
My spidey sense is telling me, these people like Jameson
They need someone they can blame
Don't want no good Samaritan
I just try to clean my name
Keep it clear like it's Claritin
Now Im feeling arrogant
I just need to keep my prayers up and talk to my therapist

I'm not a kid anymore
Stumbled my way through the dark
Searching for love in a loveless place
Don't think I can give anymore
Breaking in thousands of pieces
Will I make it on my own?
I'm rotting right down to the core
Rotting right down to the Core, yeah yeah

Man, Q said rotten to the core now
And growing up my confidence was torn down
But they can never take away the source crown
Love to hear the music, ain't it soothing when it's your sound
That mean the way you are is
Your decision
Taking back my power became my religion
Knowing that they feel me
Everytime they listen
Is the greatest feeling
And it's really got me on a mission
I'm doing yoga now, I'm too efficient
No more soda, this Kombucha hitting
They think I'm bougie, I'm just moving different
Doing something right, cause though they judge me
They can't lose their interest
I was never one to fake or quit
Take your pick, it's either me or me that you gon get
Truth emits from every syllable is ever spit
Though no longer a kid, I am as childish as I've ever been
Cause life is just a game and I'm gon play it like it's never been
My advice, don't take it to serious, it's never been
Grace is what you call it when no matter what you better than
Grandma hit my phone to reinsure I never let em in
Referring to the haters and the leeches
The moves I make in silence always seem to leave em speechless
And currently I'm swimming in the deep end
With sharks all around me, but I'm chilling like it's peaches

I'm not a kid anymore
Stumbled my way through the dark
Searching for love in a loveless place
Don't think I can give anymore
Breaking in thousands of pieces
Will I make it on my own?
I'm rotting right down to the core
Rotting right down to the Core

But I'm not a kid anymore
Stumbled my way through the dark
Searching for love in a loveless place
Don't think I can give anymore
Breaking in thousands of pieces
Will I make it on my own?
I'm rotting right down to the core
Rotting right down to the Core, yeah yeah
