Babylon (feat. Lexxus) - Congorock

Crucify, cru-crucify me Crucify, cru-cru I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone Shaped like a figure eight who trusts pretty girls anyway? And I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone I'm sure I'll be the death of me And I can't recall the last time I took love from anyone I called daddy, who's got one anyway? Not me Are you hating youself? Do you really hate me? Are you hating yourself? Was it worth it? Would you do it again? Aren't you tired of always making amends? I know you hate me now I bet you hate me now Bring on the thorny crown Crucify me Cross my heart then I hope to die With a peace of mind (a peace of mind) Piece together my brain soon as This beat rewind (beat rewind) Nitrogen and propane I spike your drink at times (turn up, turn up) I make it hard to swallow this game You throw up every line I notice people got Napoleon complex But that's my confession You said that we're equal but I know you're Beyond gassing that I'm beyond desperate (yeah that) 6AM on a Friday morning, my darkest hours Them heartless hours My apartment is lost in a coffin I'm dead to the world like I popped me a couple downers Down & Out on my luck Salt water all on my tux and I call, she don't pick up Then I fall when summer is ending I mean there's no pretending I'm stuck in my ways and you're offended That's life, that's you, this me, that's vice You're wrong, I'm right, that's right I belong somewhere on ice I'm colder a new blood type? Even colder Cold shoulder, Born Sinner, you know? Cole showed us! I have nothing to lose, my dark side been well in-tuned A Gemini go show them faces And this here just one of my moods, Babylon Was it worth it? Would you do it again? Aren't you tired of always making amends? I know you hate me now I bet you hate me now Bring on the thorny crown Crucify me Crucify, cru-crucify me Crucify, cru-cru Crucify, cru-crucify me Crucify, cru-cru
