Handshakes with Snakes - Apathy, Mariagrazia, B-Real

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

Let 'em know I’m going down to Mexico

To watch God and The Devil arm wrestle for my soul

With a bitch from San Diego, driving a Winnebago

High on a little llello, dying to get some Pesos

And I ain’t one for fiction, or much for superstition

But I’m way out of my guardian angel’s jurisdiction

The sun goes west till it’s swallowed by the mountains

To the shitty city full of shady lawyers and accountants

Where everybody is looking for something, they’re on a mission

Like sex with three women and real cheap prescriptions

Rattlesnake attitude, weapon to the fullest

They always got guns, but never enough bullets

The bottle runs dry, sweat pouring from my head, playing Portishead

Crack another portion for the dead

Bought a candy skull figure with a porcelain head

Praying to the porcelain god as I’m puking up red

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

So what that I’m cold-blooded

Old gutter mental' shows more now cause I’m so budded

With snow covered nose holes, blizzard it’s no summer

Acts as a soul-number, kill my pain

Ima talk my slang, booze out Caine

I ain’t looking for the answers I just dos my thing

Lock handshakes with snakes in a vein

Paced and I aim, brace for the bang

And now I’m in a place for the strange

Everything’s a blur, every word is slurred

Every movement swerved and curved, by dope scored on the curb

Loc smoked on the herb and hit a high

I’ve been stuck for a minute like this whole life has passed me by

That’s why I never know what I’m looking for

Every time I take a trip to the liquor store

Still trying to take it slow

Better lie low on this runaway train with no aim and a claim on my soul

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

I’m seeing shit sorta distorted, I’m transported

And short of a quarter, a man sorely deported

No peace of mind, recorded this piece so blind

Dreaming of easier times, conflicted in losing my grind

Stepping away to?

fade?

and debating if

It’s worth the waiting on something to call to me

While this darkness pursues me, I’m woozy

And light headed, this is something I dreaded, affected by the pain deaded with

medication, I said it

I’m getting ready for a deadly medley ahead

The street is my canvas and I paint it with red

Snake bitten from handshakes and bad breaks

When man makes mistakes for his sake in his take, and this snake…

Gets his fucking head cut off

One swing and one ding, you know I will never shut off

My vengeance eternal, my heart the inferno

But the buck is my shadow, check it now, yeah these words are my journal

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you

I close my eyes and I deny

Drift off beneath the desert sky

Until my soul finds you
