Earl Sweatshirt - Centurion Lyrics






[Intro: Vince Staples]
I feel like the Tom Sawyer for real niggas
Looking for a problem, revolver under the Hilfiger
No bluff needed, we will kill niggas
So try me if you want, bruh, I promise I'm with all of that
Late night shooters, got 'em thinking Johnny Carson back
Trying to win this white man game with my heart attack
All off a dollar and a dream that I really had
Kind of hard to sleep when your thoughts is in the streets
North north is the side where my family stay
Big Baby Jesus, I can't wait
Money coming in, spend it all on guns and rims
I ain't nothing but a nigga, ain't no reason to pretend

[Verse 1: Earl Sweatshirt]
Kept the sticky in the Stussy pouch
Ski mask, bloody 'Preme hoodie tossing doobies out
The window of the hoopty, night black as Paul
Mooney at the movies but the moon was out
Food was always optional
Eating nothing but hard punches to that abdominal
Closed fist chronicles, sole sniff momma knew
Baggies laying 'round, peanut shells at a carnival
Stomping clowns, welcome pussy niggas to the romper room
Buckshot'll cover a whole torso like a parka do
In a park at 2 clock trying to guard her loot
Split it with his big roll dog, call him Marmaduke
Searching for a shard of truth and found uh
Couple bucks bought his cousins lunch
Another Dutch, stiff collar on the button-up
Hood, rich, wild, and 'bout to run amuck
Road to hell paved with cement, cut the trucks and drugs, toughen up

[Hook: x2]
Alright, okay
If that's how you truly feel about it then

[Verse 2: Earl Sweatshirt]
Vinny Stape, they stupid, think the city safe
Into that little bendy place, head shots, red dot
Block as hot as Denny plates, fed watch, Fed watch
Opinions only pity based, deep in the Civic with the
Evilest niggas this side of the Mississippi
All courtesy of Vincent from niggas who plot a ditch
Ear-L-double-S, hear shells from the Tec
Hear rim full-effect, eat a dick and cut a check, bitch
Few niggas I'm on a first-name basis with
Address me by the alias, that trunk weighted like he
'Bout to catch a case again, Ace louder than the voice of
Satan that be plaguing him, bruh, I'm caking
Whether Hell or bad weather, high water, I'm a sailor-type
Assailant for the paper, living like I met the maker twice
Hit it 'til I'm faded right? Mami, take a hike
And treat it like you fucking shaking dice, bitch

[Hook]

    Yeah, me? Yeah, yeah, yeah

    I feel like the Tom Sawyer for real niggas
    Looking for a problem, revolver under the Hilfiger
    No bluff needed, we will kill niggas

  79. D.... ....

    #DonWorldsMusic on soundcloud !

  80. 5.... P....

    Divine Image....Axelrod....

  81. M.... l....

    where does the gibberish soundbite from 0:54 come from?

    M.... l....

    Can - Soup

  82. Z.... S....

    What's the name of this type of drum break

  83. a.... d....

    the Can sample made me really fucking excited

  84. C.... S....

    this the perfect song to read jojo part 5 lol well any jojo with earl is wonderful

  85. J.... D....

    I love the Can sample in this! I think it's amazing that something Damo Suzuki screamed out during a group improv. ended up on this track, 45 years later!

  86. D.... ....

    Earl and Vince are an explosive combo

  87. f.... ....

    94 Gravediggaz vibe

  88. L.... M....

    Food Was always optional.

  89. b.... H....

    diss beat is literally the definition of darkness

  90. G.... C....

    3 years later this still is my favourite song

  91. R.... e....

    Sampled from Can's Soup. Yeah, Can made music that's actually worth listening to.

  92. p.... ....

    I don't use this term very often, but "dank" is the only adequate explanation for this song. Seriously though, this song just exudes such a smokey, oppressive, dark vibe, and I mean that in the best way possible. Seems like the soundtrack to a horror movie set in the hood.

    p.... ....

    This song and knight are straight fire

    p.... ....

    @Deven Johnson Damn right.

  93. o.... ....

    crazy that he did most of the recording for this album at 18

  94. D.... Z....

    earl looks so sad on this album cover. if only he understood the legend he is to so many.

    D.... Z....

    I'm sure he's fully aware. Fame is not as fulfilling as some would like to believe.

  95. R.... ....

    Why does this give me such a 80s horror movie vibe?

    R.... ....

    David Axelrod

    R.... ....

    Rico sampled from horror movie scores
