Mom’s Whiskey Marlon Craft (Ft. Kota the Friend)

[Chorus: Marlon Craft]
I've been drinking all my mama's whiskey
I've been staying up alone at night
I've been thinking 'bout mistakes I'm payin' for
For which I still don't know the price
I've been actin' like my dirty laundry isn't dirty if I fold it right
I just don't know tonight, yeah

[Verse 1: Marlon Craft]
I've been feeling like the Knicks now
Had to sacrifice last year to try and land a pick now
Random sidebar
I'm still pissed Netflix dropped The Get Down
And when I get down, ain't no end, shit, that's every day
Even on the bestest of days
Cups in the air 'til the rest can relate, yeah
I've been findin' grooves in the madness, yeah
I've been little bruised with the sadness, yeah
I've been drinkin' booze to distract shit, yeah
I've been becomin' the cliché
Don't want them to wait 'til the end of the game to check on me, I ain't instant replay, homie
I be way lonely
Be on my phone where they be way phony
I made an album, I think it's amazing, I'm scared you won't like it though
What you know 'bout that?
Like when you write your truth, can't say it was typo, yo
I mix my gangster with delicate
I've been afraid of the evidence
I'm in my jaded-est element
Soul is on fire, just hope that my hope doesn't vacate the premises, uh
Fame be the fake-iest sedative
And I'm most afraid of irrelevance now
I've been treating women like my heart is Trump and like all my feelings is Mexicans
It ain't that I'm afraid to let 'em in
I'm just an emotional veteran
Emotion just ain't worth the stress in it
And all of these pressures been festering
Little bit of strength and a little bit of paint
What I work with now, that's all I need
Little bit of faith and a hint of some restraint
Wish I had more around, that's not what I see
They give me applause and a bunch of oohs and ahs
Hit the bars, but homie, that's not all I be
2020, they gon' get to know me, me
