Dark Water


There's always somethin goin on in the mirror, Strange black waters getting clearer, Crystal Levantine lightens up, how obscene! There's always somethin, always somethin Look at the sinner, all his money, he's a saint. Gold rimmed glasses, chickened teeth and they're sayin, He-ey, Heeey. He's got a limmo, all the girls, let's lay. There's always somethin, always something. Strange black waters gettin clearer, I'm feelin faint, dont do this, do this, do it, On the radio, rodeo, oh, oh, oh. And that virgin, she's a child, three or ten, What they're doing with that big, fat hen? And then I'm, oh, oh, fallin for disease Cause this New York life is too much for me, And Hollywood have you think you're 23 When the new lights, lights Shinin up your tree. You gotta be skinny, Hey now, gotta be pretty, Drugs for the bad boys, Now I'm 23, Always somethin in the mirror, Always, Always somethin in the, the I gotta be clearer, where's the difuser, Life ain't enough, gotta take it while we're young, Sweet innocence is makeup our dispense, Always something in the theeeee. Come on Beyonce, show me your free style, Taylor Swift, why you changin you're mile. Lorde, I haven't heard you in a while, What songs have you ampin you're trial. Ooh, always somethin in the mirror, I'm sick, this society's a killer, And they're, and they're, and they're, They're all 23 goin under, where's my motha. Oh, always somethin in the mirror, The black waters, hell, they're gettin clearer. I want heaven but that sinner over there tells the saint as she's prayin she better lose weight, I'm gonna faint. Ohhh always, always, always somethin. Oh, Lord help me outta, Ohhh, always somethin, Here we go, Here we go under water
