The Girl Named Shifter – Aries

Everybody know you never win, that’s my job
Till forever motherfucker we cannot be friends
We used to ride the wind together
But when you cut off, the breeze just felt much better
So I don’t have many complaints
And I’ll refrain from using your name, in any subliminal way
So imma give em a code name, yo meet Shifter
Shifter was a shape shifting lizard in the picture
She had these outstanding eyes with great figure
Everybody knew her but I knew her like a sister
Didn’t hang around that much but when we did
We would chop it up act like nothing else exist
But pardon this is not a love story
This is but a tale of man in the house like Cory
Getting pushed out the way in a hole like glory
Couldn’t hold the dice so they rolled mine for me

Been around this place and I don’t know, how everybody leaving
They all sound the same it’s like mind control, don’t anybody see it?
You make memories that might last your life
Everything else is just passing by

Uh, So let’s get back it to it, ride around the planets
While I’m actually telling the bitch I’m coming for masses
Acted like this was new news, she passed the cannabis
Told me to chill, so I countered said I’d panic and
I went home that same night, alone
Told my granny to open the garage over the phone
Laid down on my bed passed out right away
Woke up from a text she sent the next day
Saying hey pal, I got some news
Hate to throw you in the deep end but here’s the scoop
I still love you like a brother but I’m here to do my duty too
Can you find someone that’s soulless with nothing else important
To live for? I mean I said yes, that’s what a friends for
Texted her of course
But weeks passed by then came no luck
Had to let her know that I’ve been a bit stuck

Been around this place and I don’t know, how everybody leaving
They all sound the same it’s like mind control, don’t anybody see it?
You make memories that might last your life
Everything else is just passing by

So I met her in the flesh, then came a surprise
The room smelled like death, had this look in her eyes
I said sorry couldn’t find what you needed
Still a bit shook by the sights that I’m seeing
She said is everything is gravy, got what I looked for
Pointed at my face said shut the damn door
Finally understood, man how the hell’d I miss it?
She put me in the water then caught my ass, fishing
Shifter was the devil from beginning to end
Trying a find soulless life and make friends
Trying to make the bridge so tight it never bend
Then cross you in the end take you over
Now holding to my life like
Is it possible for me to die twice? Still question the set-in-stone
Now all I wanna live is the high life
Goodbye for now, I promise that I won’t take long

Been around this place and I don’t know, how everybody leaving
They all sound the same it’s like mind control, don’t anybody see it?
You make memories that might last your life
Everything else is just passing by

It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside, whether you’re white, black, or Sasquatch, even
As long as you follow your dream
