Puppets Lyrics
I know a guy with a rock star life
But he still don't fly so he's mad at the sky
He sits me down, he kicks his wisdom
He's been around I give him a listen
Seems like he's got a lot of complaints
About how nowadays things ain't the same
Used to place some faith in the basement
A toast for this guy
And those kids that he came with
'Cause they all on the same shit
Based on cut down placement
Uptown stay strong
Don't ever do a dance with the devil now
That smile is a sign that you're sellin' out
Judgement, gossip, ethics
Let's just exploit all this excess
Then you can feel how he feels
To walk around town
Lookin' down from them tall heels
And who needs fame or fortune
When you get the same love
That the famous snortin'?
Future so afraid of yours
That you strayed from the course
And you came up short
Believe he would have more credibility
If he wasn't just another drunk pill junky
It's obvious to me that he's still hungry
For the superstars a little bad lucky
Go ahead and get mad at god
Point your fingers at your dad
And at Santa Claus
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Wouldn't look so bad with the bandage off
It goes
One for the bar tab, two for the shine
Let's go to your car, do another line
Barely trust 'em, they're all puppets
Love is nothin', scared of success
One for the bass two for the drums
Last call gonna take whatever comes
Barely trust 'em, they're all puppets
Love is nothin', scared of success
I think its great how you used to be great
I can't hate on how you choose to relate
but I know that you had the potential
I understand why you wanted to let go
A lot of pressure in the middle of those shoulders
And we ain't getting nothin' but older
Ain't nothin' changed
But the day we run from
But nobody knows that better than you, huh?
One for the bar tab, two for the shine
Let's go to your car, do another line
Barely trust 'em, they're all puppets
Love is nothin', scared of success
One for the bass two for the drums
Last call gonna take whatever comes
Barely trust 'em, they're all puppets
Love is nothin', scared of success
But he still don't fly so he's mad at the sky
He sits me down, he kicks his wisdom
He's been around I give him a listen
Seems like he's got a lot of complaints
About how nowadays things ain't the same
Used to place some faith in the basement
A toast for this guy
And those kids that he came with
'Cause they all on the same shit
Based on cut down placement
Uptown stay strong
Don't ever do a dance with the devil now
That smile is a sign that you're sellin' out
Judgement, gossip, ethics

To walk around town
Lookin' down from them tall heels

favorite song off the new album (: love the second verse when the beat drops
I figured this song was Slug writing through Ant's perspective. Basically just rambling about how Slug complains about life and tells him all these stories. But that "Looking Down From Tall Heels" line kinda threw me off....I think it might be "Looking down from tall hills"
The second verse basically sums up the idea of Ant saying "Damn Slug...I know that you went through alot, and life isn't easy, but you could have done much better. But I do see why you chose to write the stories that you write, and I cant hate on that."
To Woer: it's "that the famous snortin'"
i have the lyrics that came with the album, copied it word for word homey.
To Somephuc: thanks for catching the missing "town". But the other line stands correct.
"..point your fingers at your dad and at santa clause..."
I think the 'pointing fingers' part is where people shirk off responsibilities like you blame god for something or your parents for how you were brought up or when you were a lil' kid you'd blame santa for not getting the presents you wanted.
Questo, what I get from the "love is nothing scared of success" is that your love for not "selling out" is B.S. and that you really are scared of the success.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I think this song is about hip-hop, "I think its great how you used to be great, I can't hate on how you choose to relate"
That and the Beastie Boy reference "listen all of y'all it's a sabotage" makes me feel the song is mainstream rap and the rap of the past.
the line "that the famous snortin'?" is actually "that the fame is snortin'?" or "that the fam' (pronounced fame) is snortin'?"
"to walk around lookin' down from them tall heels"
Should be "to walk around town lookin' down from the tall heels"
"point your fingers at your dad and at santa claus"
Should be "Point your finger at your dad and thats santa claus"
I thought it was point your fingers at your dad and ASK santa clause. Like a little kid who would get mad at higher power and beg the unknown for help.
its "lookin down from them tall hills"
