The Jig Is Up

El-P

Explicit
Tell me who sent you here, what agency Who's paying for this time you're wasting? Who signs when you submit receipts? What do they have on you to bribe you? What's the threat they held above that very pleasing face? What do they want from me? As for that shed of tools we spoke about I doubt that I'm the sharpest one But manuals I come with clearly read "I cut" So you're not fooling anybody We all know that you couldn't be here out of love You must really think that I am dumb Well, I know a thing or two about a thing or two And one of them's the fact that men like me don't ever get no second chance Not for the kind of man who showed up at death's door And ding, dong, dashed so much he wore a hole out on the welcome mat Oh you're good The way you just smiled at me; pro move A lesser man would fall for that Just drift into the thrill of you Why don't you just admit the truth That you've been trained to withstand pain And that's the only way my crazy is not killing you Look at me I'm on to you No more lies I'm on to you Then again, you might out of your goddamn mind I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me You must be out of your goddamn mind Tell me your real name, who's your leader What agenda got you slumming it down here Who's handing out the dough? Tell me the point of adopting a crocodile When you know that he's going to be flushed to the sewers down low Slithering, writhing, wiggling Living where the moon don't glow Why would you book a ticket with a living Costa Concordia? Why would you travel on a vessel that might not float? For all the times that I drowned out hope I don't really see the logic of me getting this spot on the lifeboat Got to be a better candidate For that sheer dumb luck No comprendo I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me --- The Jig Is Up - El-P
