Honest Living Songtext
von Marlowe

I′ll make it short
My tale, my story, no embellishments

Open up, in love with the sound
They love when I'm down, they love when I drown
Open up, in love with the sound
They love when I′m down, they love when I drown


Float around town till the engine light flick
As I throw around sounds, tryna to satisfy the itch
Got that southern sound, walk with a talk with a limp
I don't go above ground 'cause I know they would evict
I don′t wear a crown ′cause my rule too strict
'Nother man down so I moved to the sticks
Just a year past I would never leave the ZIP
Man, I feel so much older that I swear that I forget
Now you know I love to get all they attention
But you know I love to say get out my business
Did a feature and got right up off the benches
All my life I been a leader but just not in this dimension
If you lookin′ for a keeper, I can keep you in suspension
Striding on my way to freedom and I haven't made it inches
Landed on my feet and went to mix it with my kindred
Trying to get relief, you know I′m not the one that's lendin′
Only time I spend is trying to figure how you made it to the ending
Now-now you play the—

I got a lot of feelings, won't catch me politicking
No time, the clock is ticking, I still ain't got my ticket
Now-now-now you play—
Come from where I was risen, can′t make no honest living
I made a modest killing doing what′s not appealing
I have little reason to love my fellow man

Love when I'm down, they love when I drown
Love when I′m down, love when I drown
Love when I'm down, love when I drown
The way man has dreamed of ever since—


Underneath the city with my pockets on empt′
No you never hit me, give you props for the attempt
I don't need a lot to cut a tie so don′t tempt
All my ice is inside, I forgot to change the temp
Wary of the simps, been ready from the rip
Travel light, got baggage, pack heavy for the trip
Gotta face the sickness, you too scared to bear the witness
Couple pains for the fitness, ask me how I beat the litness
Now I know you only trying to make a difference
But that don't mean that I'm trying to make it wit ya
Always worried bout the time that I′m spending
Only time I spend is trying to figure how to bend it
I′m just trying to figure how to mix it like a chemist
Get your mind straight, help you get your life splinted
You know it's guaranteed to never go how you intended
Love me when I′m down but lately I've been feelin′ lifted
Now-now-now you play the—

I got a lot of feelings, won't catch me politicking
No time, the clock is ticking, I still ain′t got my ticket
Now-now-now you play the—
Come from where I was risen, can't make no honest living
I made a modest killing doing what's not appealing
Now-now-now you play the—
I got a lot of feelings, won′t catch me politicking
No time, the clock is ticking, I still ain′t got my ticket
Now-now-now you play the—
Come from where I was risen, can't make no honest living
I made a modest killing doing what′s not appealing

Vanish with the quick
Vanish with the quick
Vanish with the quick
Vanish with the quick
I vanish with the quick
You damage, I banish, you pray that I forget
I plan it, they panic, I manage yet again
High off all the lights, all I gave you was a clip
Celebrate the vic then vanish with the quick
You damage, I banish, you pray that I forget
I plan it, they panic, I manage yet again
High off all the lights, all I gave you was a clip
Celebrate the vic then vanish with the quick
I called you together because I have some pictures to show you
Pictures? What are they?
Look, all of you
