Gilgamesh - Billy Woods, L'Wren

Got a call out the blue like

I just flew into the city what’s up with you?

Expectations was barely hardly so when she actually came through?

Pleasantly surprised like mom gave me the car keys

Stiff drinks

Back to my place/garnish the parsley

Laughed when she saw that same old room

Asked if I’d ever change for an old flame

But I could tell she’s playin' so I sang my same old tune

No shame in her game

Told me the wedding’s in June

Gone at first light

Connecting flight

She made the plane

I’m left thinking like Osama in Khartoum

Your whole neighborhood on stage

Excessively mean muggin'

Still managed to sound weak coming out the speakers

Far be it from me though cousin

I ain’t James Brown neither

Found in wild

Half docile/gazelles with the finest features

Retired to the boudoir with a long-legged sativa

Fell out

Road to Damascus status/I'm a believer

Had to disconnect the receiver on that

Solid gold telephone

Fulgencio Batista

El Jefe/Rafael Trujillo

Came through on her wedding night

Groom peeping through the keyhole

Tears in his eyes

Lights off mijo

All you heard was rattling medals

She left disheveled

Merrily dug his own grave whistling as he shoveled

It’s increasingly clear

These walls is fucking closing in

Last year I pretended to care

Right now can’t spare the oxygen

Feet up on the Ottoman

Empire

A two block radius at best

But the peasants still call him sire

Hold his marijuana and shoot when he says fire

No rest/for the wicked

Steady hand/on the spigot

Velvet glove/iron fingers

Greek myth/fire bringer/Helen of Troy/perfume linger

Even vacuum sealed/green apples wild ginger

Spinning woods till hands got splinters

So much hash the weed can’t finish

And she lying there wide open like Congo at Independence

That 70s era Dino De Laurentiis

Lush production

Good luck is a couple seeds in the brick

But you fucked up and seeded the bitch

Stolen whips/sitting in Dulles Airport long-term parking

That’s cash in escrow

Rap like I’m reading off of parchments

Old school/fleece is golden wool

For a few pieces of silver

They overlooked the Golden Rule

Acapulco Gold and it all reeks of jet fuel
