Clowns - Charles Hamilton

Clowns are all that I know

They like to put on a nice show

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

This verse ain’t gonna write itself

Just gotta remember I’m nice as hell, higher than the lights in hell

Only time could tell if when I die would I get my kinda trail, try to sell

I’m writin' for a legacy, been everyone else instead of me

From the home of Alpo, but of a different pedigree

When I speak in jest, I need to inject

Hard to breathe from my chest, respect should never leave

I bet it be deep, or it never be free

The high is so incredible to me

I play the game of losing life, my two options:

I kick the habit, waiting for a new option, you got it

Loved ones say I’m too gothic, they think it’s a new topic

Boo, stop it, these dudes be mobbin

And I’m the one that gets slapped on the wrist, that’s some shit

Let me get a pack and a clip like click click

Clowns are all that I know

They like to put on a nice show

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

Sour to the brain makes the cypher complete

Don’t try to get high with me, I use the fire to speak

I happened to be what most are trying to be

Fighting sleep and I ain’t G-O-D, why?

Because he doesn’t know me

I’ve been walking a steady path to hell

I ask myself if Satan is ready for a challenge

I use him as balance, after the fire nothing else is on my palette

I don’t want no one in my palette

If I should die, let it be from an overdose

After my first grammy, so my death won’t hurt granny

I choke when I flow, never a toke in my flow

So many typos in what I wrote, I don’t know if it’s dope

Fuck street smarts, I know music theory

So go ahead and turn it up as if you can’t hear me

I acknowledge the power of magic, and i use it clearly

Fear is moving near me, I am more en-fearing

Clowns are all that I know

They like to put on a nice show

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

It’s magic, It’s magic, It’s magic, magic, magic

It’s magic, it’s magic, it’s magic, magic, magic

Clowns are all that I know

They like to put on a nice show

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around

But when it’s all over I ain’t playing around
