straw man - ethos the rapper lyrics
[verse 1]
spinnin’ in circles, yeah we goin’ around, tryin’ to find a common ground
talkin’ to a straw man is what we like to call a fallacy
it’s what you see when you’re hit with somethin’ unrelated randomly
every time they reply, yeah they’re always gonna swing and miss on purpose if they think you’re gonna keep on pitchin’
knuckleb-lls like a knucklehead but every time they get to talkin’ for some reason you’re strappin’ on your boots like duty calls
[chorus]
yeah, don’t wind up in the craw of the straw man, out of the fire and in to the frying pan
don’t fall for the trick, go and light a match watch it burn, and have yourself a picnic
yeah, don’t wind up in the craw of the straw man, out of the fire and in to the frying pan
don’t fall for the trick, light a spark and burn it down, start a hay fire on the mark
[verse 2]
ready, set, go! i tried to hit you with the facts but they we’re spun into attacks so mentally i’ve paid the tax, yeah
you can peer over my armor but you’ll never find the cracks, yeah you’re too busy defendin’ hollow honor
pride runneth over now your argument is gone and you’re a goner when the truth is the priority and i know
the ones like me are the minority while they don’t like the shame so in turn they go and turn the hunt for truth into a game
i am always defendin’ the baited if the argument is weighted and their logic’s been completely mutilated
what’s the point you ask why don’t you just evade it? call me jaded, you shouldn’t base your life on pride
i’ll call you out, i never wonder why i’m hated, usually involves me confiscatin’ back my pride by snappin’ goin’ postal
finally goin’ off, it culminated when they didn’t wanna be up front and lied and afterwards i always seem to feel elated
[chorus]
yeah, don’t wind up in the craw of the straw man, out of the fire and in to the frying pan
don’t fall for the trick, go and light a match watch it burn, and have yourself a picnic
yeah, don’t wind up in the craw of the straw man, out of the fire and in to the frying pan
don’t fall for the trick, light a spark and burn it down, start a hay fire on the mark
[verse 3]
yeah, quick to hit you with deflections like it’s automatic, ecstatic to hit you back with rationale in the form of static
if you push me to the brink then i’m a chase your dragon like an addict, i’m a carry king, a slayer of the dragon
as i’m lifted in the air by all the villagers, listen to ’em sing, singin’ loud like i’m a king and just for k!llin’ dragons
plus i gave ’em each a little bitty gem, a little hope and then i hoped it bought time to cope
educated, your deflections quickly lacerated, my emotions are gated so immaturity is negated so if you happen to be fated
to my path i’m not easily manipulated if i see an ego raise it’s feathers, you can bet it’s leavin’ perforated, that behavior’s dated
straw man perpetrated follies while forgettin’ that they’re polly’s, yeah
a parrot parodies a man, but the straw man needs a brain to have a plan
[chorus]
yeah, don’t wind up in the craw of the straw man, out of the fire and in to the frying pan
don’t fall for the trick, go and light a match watch it burn, and have yourself a picnic
yeah, don’t wind up in the craw of the straw man, out of the fire and in to the frying pan
don’t fall for the trick, light a spark and burn it down, start a hay fire on the mark
