Cage - Shoot Frank Lyrics






One last vein to poke made it too dark to see this
Scenery slips then line up to go in the ground and leave us
So repeat this till I'm sick and I won't feed this
To my little girl who kept me in this world to beat this
As a little kid taught to follow Jesus
Get to the front of the line I'm bein' lead by elitists
So when I speak words that I don't mean
It's like I'm only in a cloud to wonder what serene is
Unable to wake and delete the reasons
Or be the same bed I made up to sleep with demons
Whether sick sane of a pattern repeated
If I spit pain I knew how to relieve it
If at sixteen I had started to treat it
Till my shit changed whether or not I would need it
To trace back to the face before the fetus
If the departure was wrong from the gate then she is

Trigger finger itch
The son of a snitch
I'm the rat's favorite son
Last to pal and cut
Slit to bleed the rust
By the last heart I've won
We roll under covers waiting
I've tied off a limb debating
If all of the names forsaken
Spell out what I'm takin'
Watching the skin pop
I would do anything to
Tell you what I've been late to
Fix up my head and escape to
Where I can rest my eyes

The sun says wake up with a beam in my eyes
Clutchin' the bed like she's still by my side part of me died
Even when I prescribed still just to be ostracized
'Cuz she don't really know if she wants to ride or drive
While no nooses long enough to hang my excuses
Whether I'm dead, gun to my head, or reclusive
The end is close almost no need for money
Yet when I wished for death nobody took my life from me
If I cannot see what's right in front of me
And the lights on there still wouldn't be enough to leave
I fixed me when I broke the aggression
But I'm still attracted to my beautiful depression
If I felt emotions I learned to suppress 'em
Till I'm ready to sleep I'll have found a place to rest then
No thanks to angst I learned my lesson
And can erase the face that can't answer the questions

Trigger finger itch the son of a snitch
I'm the rat's favorite son
And by the time I'm back
That heart that beats so black
Let it shine like his gun
We roll under covers waiting
I've tied off a limb debating
If all of the names forsaken
Spell out what I'm taking
Watching the skin pop

  1. J.... H....

    In all honesty what he always wanted to say but was too fucked up to be able to say it in his earlier years

  2. C.... W....

    “If the departure was wrong from the gate, than she is.” Damn shit is deep.

    C.... W....

    *last vein to poke

  3. D.... ....

    'The sun says wake up with a beam in my eyes, clutching the bed like she's still by my side part of me died.'

  4. L.... L....

    Second verse is dope

    L.... L....

    Hey Again.

  5. i.... ....

    daryl = gold!

  6. J.... ....

    I've always wanted to see Cage and Mickey Avalon collaborate.

  7. U.... ....

    This entire album is a masterpiece.

  8. K.... J....

    Anyone know where to find that really awesome (official, not like, fan-made) Shoot Frank remix that he used to perform a lot??? It's *so* good & used to be on YT (w/ that^ same thumbnail), but not anymore & isn't on his site either. Can't find it anywhere. 😭

  9. P.... b....

    "If I spit pain, I know how to relieve it."

  10. K.... K....

    This song made me feel better at worst times, even know its twisted.

    K.... K....

    Hell's winter. a curse within a blessing.

  11. 7.... ....

    "And by the time I'm back, that heart that beats so black better shine like it's gold"

    7.... ....

    He says "it better shine like his gun"

  12. J.... D....

    still patiently waiting for a colab album/project with palumbo and cage, one song is not enough

  13. b.... 5....

    Best song by him, by farrrrrr

    b.... 5....

    Agent Orange

  14. A.... F....

    Reading all the coverage about Lil Peep, I'm surprised people don't reference cage. He was the original genius emo rapper.

    A.... F....

    If emo stands for highly functioning and highly intelligent addict that isn't afraid to convey the rightly placed cynicism he holds for the world that effectively crapped all over every card he was ever dealt then sure.

    A.... F....

    Emothug? Isnt that like a straight fagott

    A.... F....

    He's not a fucking emo... that's almost as bad as calling him a woman.

    A.... F....

    My buddy was a big Lil Peep fan... surprisingly, he knew about Cage too. But he said, and I quote, “Cage is way too dark, man.”
    Funny ‘cuz that’s why I admire about Cage... I’m just as fucked up as him and vice versa... his music got me through some really tough times knowing that.

    A.... F....

    @ARose 916 what's not emo about rapping about killing yourself with a razor cuz. a girl left ya??

  15. O.... B....

    genius.....pure n simple

  16. B.... ....

    Best verse in the history of forever

  17. L.... ....

    "I fixed me when I broke the aggression.
    But I'm still attracted to my beautiful depression."

    L.... ....

    Leyderhoese Mio dio

    L.... ....

    Leyderhoese favorite verse 💯💯

  18. p.... ....

    song is literallllly about shooting heroin...

    p.... ....

    pMizzleFoRizzle Bill Murray (not the actor) is or was Cage's junkie father who had him help shoot heroin when he was just a little kid.. Back when they lived in Germany. Listen to Cage's Too Heavy for Cherubs and Stripes

    p.... ....

    pMizzleFoRizzle and shit, Frank was his abusive stepdad. Not exactly the best father figures..

    p.... ....

    thats nuts man, didnt know.

    p.... ....

    Facts that's why I dig this.

    p.... ....

    @Blastmaster KRS-One Bill and Frank are the same person. His dad is who speaks about in 2 heavy 4 cherubs

  19. S.... P....

    I'm sure you're just as good 😎

  29. a.... ....

    yea but hes been featured on songs and put out a mixtape or two during the 90s

  30. m.... ....

    Settle down y'all, "modern" is like the last century, not decade.

  31. s.... k....

    donnie darko. if u havent seen it. watch it

    s.... k....

    Was lookin for the Donnie Darko comment aha 👍

  32. P.... ....

    He's been putting out mixtapes, eps and featuring with other MC's since 1993. But yeah, he didn;t drop his first full length album until 2002, when he was nearly 30, the reason? Drugs. Lots of em.

    P.... ....

    Weathermen. Jux n all that. But yes totally right no full length albums until 02

    P.... ....

    He was 23

  33. r.... s....

    didn't cages first album come out in 2002?

  34. P.... ....

    "Modern day" rappers? The dude's been kicking around the rap scene since the early 90's.

  35. P.... ....

    You know he's been around for like 20 years right? He is one of the best modern day rappers, and that in itself shows that these this modern day generation ain't produced fuck all of anything worthy.

    P.... ....

    PunkyHipHopDude he hides in the cracks.

    P.... ....

    It's a good thing, the way I see it this new generation doesn't deserve his music.

  36. R.... T....

    No doubt.. me too, and I listen to FUCK LOAD of rap

  37. A.... R....

    @CiscoNast so did I, I even mistook it for him in the video

  38. j.... d....

    thumb up if you think cage is one of the best modern day rappers.

  39. C.... ....

    i always thought this was cage singing the chorus

  40. R.... C....

    what a great song this is! glassjaw + cage would be a very interesting combo.

  41. J.... M....

    this is not the remix its the original version FYI

  42. L.... V....

    hells winter is the shit !

    L.... V....

    Heavy shit!! I 💓 IT!!
