fool's gold - billy woods lyrics

[open mike eagle]

i once played the fool at a doom show
really thought it was him cause i stood back a few rows
angry people threw ‘bows and crushed a few toes
it was like a live production of the emperor’s new clothes
promoter/rappers book me gigs at new venues
you get there and there’s just a few menus
a f-cking employee rocking a grin like a cheschire cat
and im wearing a jester hat
sitting there watching him cut up pepperjack
rap fans on the net are the f-cking biggest ones
steady letting babyfaces mark ‘em for hit and runs
a bunch of fool players
learning new prayers
none of em showing you
how to be your own soothsaying oracle
at least take turns like a two-player portable
play the mark or play the carney
stay in the dark or host the party
write the play or play in the park like a child, sh-t
i be watching soul school like an old fool
all up in the wrong castle like mario and toadstool
i’m from the blowed, fool. its also a pr-noun
bought the deed to some land in a southpole snowtown

[moka only]

fool me once,shame on you
fool me twice, im lame..cats is nice with the game
in this record lane…not!
still i manage to get strung along once i brung a song
to the tabletop and had it flop
wasn’t for the lack of opportunity knocking
just a lot of empty promises and halfhearted talking
even paperwork dont seem to hold a lotta water
never seeing sales reports
or reports of my slaughter in retail land
ive tried to expand
done a lot for the cause but the rebel gets slammed doors
never opening after initial work
promoters holdin out on the dough
i’m thinkin this will work
everytime i sign on the line
at least try to flex optimism
and see the shine i get idle text
one of these days i may really wake up
but for now they keep foolin til my band break up and thats tough

[billy woods]

i booked the same room as our first date/relieved
finally no need to lie about working late/nervously pace
looking in the mirror/you look great
easily ten years younger
i could be thirty-eight
petals on the duvet i picture her face
after years of roses on nightstands
when i take her hand
and say you could be an honest woman
i’ll be your man
one finger to her lips [shhhhh]
don’t say a word yet/champagne on ice ill take you away
from all of this/you don’t have to put on the red light
a single p-ssionate kiss
that shows me you had the same knot in your chest
from years of wondering “maybe” and “what if”
it’s not that i don’t love my wife and kidsbut this is it
for happiness i’m waiting by the window like malcolm x
courtyard by marriott/room twenty-six

[elucid]

just as real as i imagined
honeysuckle root all on my mattress
i want u forever if u asking
infatuated visions in this blackness
matchstick memory
candlelight/shadowplay
unfamiliar energy/welcoming
a fortnight since we last connected
confessions
otherworldly pleasures in your presence
possess me/these sessions in succession
by the moon exhausted
drain me baby awesome
climax c-mulus
union of like mind
sidetracked illusions
im not truly in right mind
demon sp-wn polluted
im consumed/a fool in denial
night time intrusions
concluded with deceitful smiles/waking hours
eyes open on cold tile covered in sweat and bile
doc shake his head look over my files
long time sufferer asylum
silence awaiting her arrival
