    K.O - The Garden (Lyrical Breakdown)

    K.O - The Garden Out Now https://linktr.ee/koladeokusanya_K.O The Lost and the Damned Book of secrets, as I feel so inclined Remark me as a liar, margins in every line Strike me off the record if I fail to speak my mind "Signed a patron of the desert left with no mountains to climb" Right, I chose to wander till the heat would take its toll I chose to ponder why the sands had covered all the roads I chose to be the lesser known, at first I thought it bold Yet in the dark, warning souls, the desserts mighty cold, listen But i see sparks, whetting stones, Cut me sharper than the marriage of the blood to the bone On the eve of the morn ‘fore I finally make it home Will I make a move or a tone (atone), will I make it alone x2 On the eve of the morn ‘fore I finally make it home Will I make a move or a tone (atone) Will I make it alone? See, I peeked back in the dark room and flickered a match Cause I peaked back in the dark room and flinched in the match A pinch of salt turned into a dash A dash assualt as I make my way back Kiss the asphalt, tighten my strap Breaching the nine levels virgil leading the path Sailing passed (past) the inferno, dante handles the mast (mass) Heard she was wily like the devil laying a trap Patrolling the crossroads, laying a map (slaying a map) Cause road running make you lay on your back An outline on the tarmac, darker than black Waiting with a contract "sky high till you nap?" The fine line's plain (plane) tracks make you fly till you slack Keep eyes wide, her shake is a sign of attack She quivers cause arrows are better shot from the back And I crash, near Lake Erie after the war Liberties bell cracked on its final score The envious torch bearer, her struggle for more seven blessings he gifted I gave to a whore But she was like a fantasy, vivid in dreams Livid as I seem, I'd take love from every being And being that I'm human, I want everything x2 The lustful sins of man is the lord of the rings Married in fire, to desire, and whatever it brings Trapped in the wilderness, looking for eve But with my ribs gone, man its harder to breathe And they tell me live strong, bands is all that you need Surrounded by green, just ignore the blood on the leaves Making love outta greed, you cant afford to slow down The Garden of Eden's filled with hoes planting seeds, whatever the season N***a!
