Jookie - Dive Lyrics

I just quit my job, that was an ill-advised decision
Next month's rent I'm cutting close like circumscisions
Losing all my benefits dental and vision
From working stiff to scraping shit without an intermission
If my life was just a play then it got played out
Heavy thoughts I'm breaking scales when I get weighed out
Use my brain to channel pain til I get paid out
Or at least to get my face a little made out
Getting love in the club or a burrito full of bacon
Still looking out for the one but I think she's been taken
Like Liam Neeson's family I'm on life or death shit
I'm coming out on top or I'm done like meth shit
I remember suits and ties and expense reports
And overtiming every night at my expense of course
Forgot the extra Splenda with the boss' coffee
Then they sent a Mailroom search party to retrieve the corpse
Now I'm back from the dead like a f*cking walker
Got one thing in my sights like I'm a stalker
That's me saying what's on my mind packaged in some clever rhymes
Til the whole world's watching like soccer Jook

Feet on the edge now
No ones gonna catch me on my way down
Got stupid high not so sober
But if I don't move it's my game over
Looking down and it's not safe
No f*cks given pull the trigger anyway
Hold my beer, I'm crossing every line
Nothing left to lose, f*ck it, taking the dive
Now I'm taking the dive
It's Jookie on the beat and I'm on the rise

Did I mention I'm a product of my childhood
Kids used to call me chinky in my neighborhood
My tenth grade English teacher used to call me Ping Pong in class
And thought it was fine everybody laughed and laughed
I was a kid so I just laughed and laughed but in reality I couldn't fight back
Packed up to the West Coast told my mama I'd be right back
Had to find a way to get the feeling in my life back
Started up from scratch finger f*ck the f*cking past
I got no history like Incognito browsing tabs
The term "microaggression" wasn't commonplace
Back when Power Rangers were colored by their f*cking race
But I still f*ck with some Megazords
While unpacking all this venom through some metaphors
Breathing fire on these bars like I'm Trogdor
Strong and bad, got my ass decimating dance floors
On depression shit, some people call it insane
But if insane's the secret sauce, I'm Szechaun to the whole game
I got the foreign face but won't stop at the foreign fame
I was born right here speak right on my f*cking name

Feet on the edge now
No ones gonna catch me on my way down
Got stupid high not so sober
But if I don't move it's my game over
Looking down and it's not safe
No f*cks given pull the trigger anyway
Hold my beer, I'm crossing every line
Nothing left to lose, f*ck it, taking the dive

Now I'm taking the dive
It's Jookie on the beat and I'm on the rise

Go stupid, go stupid
My rap flow is so dirty that it's putrid
Throw it back, make it clap
If you're my queen then I'm the king of the trap

Now I'm taking the dive
It's Jookie on the beat and I'm on the rise
