lirik lagu ai ennui - in the neighborhood
[verse]
“so this guy the dealers father
he has a heart attack or something”
“i go see him in the hospital, seeing as i just got stabbed by a jealous boyfriend”
“and i’m getting stitched”
“when he asks i tell him ‘i was in the neighborhood'”
[chorus]
“my handler, he asks me how i’m doin”
“so i tells him, ‘hey it’s just a little powder man'”
“‘you woulda asked me six months ago, i needed your advice.'”
“i kicked that sh~t myself. i been in the game long enough.”
[verse]
“this girl, back in the day. she’s a dancer”
“so i tells her go get a job in a stripclub or somethin, put that talent to usе”
“tell me all about it when you gеt home”
“so i’m up all night waitin on her”
“and when she comes in she throws the money on the bed”
“and sez to me, she says, ‘here’s your filthy money pig.'”
[bridge]
“and it feels dirty. it’s not like when i did my first job”
“and me and her we’re rollin in it you know what i mean?”
“so i ask her the details. what happened? how she felt?”
“and i start to feel sick to my stomach.”
[verse]
“she said this old guy got handsy and she didn’t know what to do.”
“so anyways, here i am guilt ridden”
“i put the b~tch through college.”
[verse]
stitches in my side, still wet with the red
“just in the neighborhood,” that’s what i said
dealer’s old man, heart gave out, they say
didn’t figure i’d be visitin’ him today
yeah, i was in the thick of it, another messy fight
didn’t need his heart attack to make things feel less right
[chorus]
powder man, they used to call me, yeah, that’s the game
six months back i would have crawled to hear my handler’s name
now i kick that sh~t myself, been around the block
but the taste of ash in my mouth ain’t what i thought
[verse]
she was a dancer, moves like smoke and fire
told her, “stripclub honey, time to make your higher”
“tell me all about it,” i said, “when the night is done”
sat up waitin’ for her, under the rising sun
she walks in, tosses bills, like dirt upon the floor
“here’s your filthy money, pig,” she growled, and then some more
[bridge]
i asked for the details, what went down in that place
her eyes went hollow, lost and far from grace
some old fool’s hands, felt her like she was meat
sick to my stomach, the concrete turned to heat
[verse]
used to roll in the green, we were kings and queens
now she throws it down with looks like razor blades, it seems
i put the b~tch through college, what more could i do
the words like rocks in my chest, heavy and untrue
[chorus]
powder man, they used to call me, yeah, that’s the game
six months back i would have crawled to hear my handler’s name
now i kick that sh~t myself, been around the block
but the taste of ash in my mouth ain’t what i thought
[outro]
taste of ash, yeah, that’s what i got now
the powder man’s blues, playing loud and how
how the h~ll did i end up, this far gone
just a lonely street corner, waiting for the dawn
powder man, powder man, just fading away…
