dead people

You remind me of a nigga I once knew, oh
24-karat 'round his wrist like a handcuff
Cruisin' down my avenue, oh
Padlocks on his back pockets
Never let a nigga run through, oh
Cinder blocks in his eye sockets
Vision blurry from the revenue, oh
Oh
Where'd he go?

Do I see dead people?
I think I see dead people
Why do I see dead people?
I

You remind me of a nigga I once knew, oh
Corroded bullets from the skies when he cries
God herself grips the M2, oh
Dizzy tryna' vaporize his disguise
Missing puzzle pieces, missing screws, oh
Busy tryna' plagiarize butterflies
Broken mirrors spilled out his cocoon, oh
Oh

You remind me of a nigga I once loved, oh
Bruised knuckles, bruised eyes, bruised thighs
Nigga's native tongue was Push 'N Shove, oh
Fables fell from in between his lips
Shiny armory, vanilla doves, oh
I drowned every time he sank the ship
All to float right back up
Float right back up
Where'd he go?

Do I see dead people?
I think I see dead people
Why do I see dead people?
I

You remind me of a, once, oh
Corroded bullets from the skies when he cries, missing, oh
You remind me of a, once, oh
Bruised knuckles, bruised eyes, bruised thighs, vanilla, oh

I keep leavin' your key under my welcome mat
(You remind me of a, once, oh)
I can't seem to quit leavin' your key under my welcome mat
(Corroded bullets from the skies when he cries, missing, oh)
In case you ever find your sanity and wanna come back
Come back
Oh
Oh

I keep leavin' your key under my welcome mat
(You remind me of a, once, oh)
I can't seem to quit leavin' your key under my welcome mat
(Bruised knuckles, bruised eyes, bruised thighs, vanilla, oh)
In case you ever find your sanity and wanna come back
Come back
Oh
Oh
Oh

Do I see dead people?
I think I see dead people
Why do I keep running to dead people?
Why?
