Skip beats 

Stroll streets

Lyrical telepathy

Ask him why the words won't come

Justify excuses don't work son

Control your thoughts

But don't count mine

I took your silence

As a sign

Misunderstand your ways of communication

Leads only to my lamentation

Of what I was under the impression of

A beautiful bond we called love

As I took it to mean you 

Thought I was untouchable

So then riddle me this

Why are you being touched?

Fuck your swagger

Arrogance and penny pinch

Words like a dagger

Syllables coated in venom

Beneath my time, dropped your ass cause you're no dime, fuck your insults cause you just mime

Back the words I shot at you

Ammo isn't as strong as what i just threw

The mud and slung insults at your feet

Trip you up, not so elite

Gravity called, knocked your ass down

All that's left

Is the dial tone sound
