Sleep In Scarlet Lyrics - Ricanstruction: The Black Rosary - Chino Xl

[Hook] 

Flames to dust, lovers to friends 

Why do all good things come to an end? 

Flames to dust, lovers to friends 

Why do all good things come to an end? 

[Verse One] 

So there are no misconceptions let's clear it up 

I'mma spit it from my heart, I'm tired of tearing up 

Why won't you just admit, I was ready to commit 

You was on your material shit like my ring wasn't good enough 

I put myself at a disadvantage, emotional manners 

Could barely manage to wake in the morning, was so sad 

Drowning myself in alcohol, and blaming it all on myself 

And my financial status wasn't even that low 

You promised you would love me even if I went broke 

You promised to love my previous children, what a joke 

We knew the end result when you're mom called me a nigger, I never considered 

The woman that I'd take a bullet for would be the same one behind the trigger 

With like a great conversation stopped in mid-sentence 

She said she'd changed her mind, her new one hasn't made a difference 

To light your cigarettes I would've set myself on fire 

Loving you more than I did myself but felt I was on trial 

You did what was best for my child no problem so I moved in 

You'll always be found guilty in the court of a one side chick 

Was one of them relationships where nobody smiles 

But it was cheaper to keep her like a lease when you over the miles 

Someday you'll wake up knowing that you lost a precious diamond 

While you were out collecting regular stones, so trifling 

Go 'head and live in Gomorrah, you ain't taking my daughter 

Wanna walk out of my life? I'll hold the door open for ya 

Sleep in scarlet

[Verse Two] 

Now as I look up at the night sky 

I'm getting really tired of playing Mr. Nice Guy 

When you refused to love me back, bitch you must be high 

But you're so fine and that's just making my anger intensify 

And plus you thanking God, I raise my hand and testify 

Then put it on my father's grave that I really tried 

I went against my own life advise, you're my demise, both of us can not survive 

Unless you get out of my life, I swear I've had my last cry 

My name is Derek and I loved you the best way I can 

My braids and famous name pierced right through your skin 

Blood's my liquid love letter 

And your desire to be desired pushed you in the arms of who you thought was better 

She said, "I swear I didn't sleep with him" 

Of course you didn't, cause you was wide awake while you was cheating with him 

Fuck marriage, your excuses, and fuck your answers 

And fuck wedding rings, they're the world's smallest handcuffs 

Threats of castration for every missed call 

When me busting a nut on your face was better than a Hallmark card 

Don't fear eight men with guns 

Fear one woman with a grudge, when you no longer want the buns 

My heart was a broken transmission while my world shifted 

Feeling like killing a whore ass like Robert Willie Pickton 

Blessed art thou amongst women though 

But stop claiming you're my soul mate when you ain't even got a soul 

Sleep in scarlet

[Verse Three] 

I keep attracting the wrong ones like a sickness 

Only time that I say "I do" is in front of "not trust bitches" 

In secret I wonder if we could have weathered the storm 

'Til death do us part like Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun 

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have regrets 

Let's get our marriage license, have 'em write it on an Etch A Sketch 

I think if I went to her doorstep and she seen me hurtin' 

I could turn it all around and she would take me back for certain 

Maybe it's my past relationships that's dangerous 

Or, maybe I was using you to fill all my emptiness 

And if Picasso was alive he would've painted you 

But you're insane and loose, forsaken love for (?) 

The world is tainted and fucked 

We're living in a world where love's no longer appreciated, it is hated and mocked 

I'm like an animal that's been kicked out of a zoo 

But it's true, you are what you love and not what loves you 

But now I'm riding right, cause our relationship life 

Was like a bit of lemon keeping me up out of the limelight 

Put it to memory how women change to vipers 

And phone numbers and condoms are a lot easier to change than diapers 

It's kind of bizarre and, your momma should have named you Carmen 

Cause the only thing that you talk about are cars and men 

You'll probably get caught up and abducted with chloroform 

You can call me whatever you want, but call me gone 

Sleep in scarlet
