Tom MacDonald
In These Parts
[Chorus: Cryptic Wisdom]
Welcome one welcome all
To the place where the sun don't shine no mo'
The grass won't grow
There's nobody you know
And they all say the same thing
That they won't go 'round here
In these parts
I am the man with the bars
That'll rip a man apart
I am an animal, a savage
I'm a cannibal at times
With the rhymes
I'll be eating you alive
In these parts
[Verse 1: PH4DE]
Walkin' 'round a city full of corpses
Cut they legs off as a fetus, yeah I abort-shins
Passed second, now I'm on fourth-wind
Tell her bring all four in
Especially the foreign
I gotta little game
We can hang, like a door hinge
Show her 'round the town
Then rip her for what the tour meant
Get it? 'Cause torment is all we born with
Ain’t nobody signed
Only sign in my city is fuckin' for rent
They don't want to see us make it out the meth den
Fired ‘fore we even leave the bed, like we slept in
So we did it on our own
Welcome to the upside down
Where we up right now, yeah
H-Town gotta fuckin' Demogorgan
Had the city locked down, 'til I kicked the door in
I’m ignoring Everybody-
Tryna stop me for a show pic
I'll wear that ass out like a donkey fur coat bitch
[Chorus: Cryptic Wisdom]
Welcome one welcome all
To the place where the sun don't shine no mo'
The grass won't grow
There's nobody you know
And they all say the same thing
That they won't go 'round here
In these parts
I am the man with the bars
That'll rip a man apart
I am an animal, a savage
I'm a cannibal at times
With the rhymes
I'll be eating you alive
In these parts
[Verse 2: Tom MacDonald]
In these parts getting locked away is commonplace
People get forgotten, all that's left of them is caution tape
It's liquor stores and empty buildings, coffee shops are miles away
We're saving up to move so now we can't afford the holidays
The cops are always on the way, the sirens in my songs
Aren't just added to the beat
The sound is bleeding through the walls
Should I eat or feed the dogs
Or go to sleep and leave us starved
If the lights are off they'll think that no ones home
I leave em on
There's no tourists or school kids
Or places safe to park your car
Be ready for a fight if when you leave the crib it's after dark
I know that we were meant for more than what we ended up with
And I know if I survive the war than I can do is justice
I'm the captain of this ship and if it sinks when we embark
Just remember how to swim and reach the land cause it ain't far
I will stay behind and cut my wrists to lead away the sharks
It's not what I want, it's what it is, that's life around these parts
[Chorus: Cryptic Wisdom]
Welcome one welcome all
To the place where the sun don't shine no mo'
The grass won't grow
There's nobody you know
And they all say the same thing
That they won't go 'round here
In these parts
I am the man with the bars
That'll rip a man apart
I am an animal, a savage
I'm a cannibal at times
With the rhymes
I'll be eating you alive
