The Streets
The Poison I Take Hoping You Will Suffer
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
There's several ways that this is gonna go bad
The devil says he misses me and wants me back
Me and you are like a box set
That I wish I forgot and watched again
Like waiting for ice to be water
So stressed about getting my life in order
Don't get my life in order
I am not that guy to give you what you want and forfeit myself
Because every girl has a dude in her inbox talking to himself
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
[Post-Chorus: Oscar #worldpeace]
Pick your poison (Uh)
Is it money or the moment? (Uh)
Are we running out of choices? (Uh)
When you're down, who you phoning? (Uh)
Still stay fully focussed (Uh)
Still in love with your progress (Uh)
Pick your poison (Uh)
If it's you, then I'm all in
[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
The smell of leather on the sofa
Flat screen pukes up channel spew
That weather where I wear a coat in the morning
I regret in the afternoon
Plans always become dead
I told you I'd come along for the jokes
But that was two hours ago, I was younger back then
I was full of hope
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
[Post-Chorus: Oscar #worldpeace]
Pick your poison (Uh)
Is it money or the moment? (Uh)
Are we running out of choices? (Uh)
When you're down, who you phoning? (Uh)
Still stay fully focussed (Uh)
Still in love with your progress (Uh)
Pick your poison (Uh)
If it's you, then I'm all in
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
[Verse 3: Oscar #worldpeace]
Energies get lost, can you see them?
Come see me in the evening and let me know if you've eaten
You think I'm late night creeping
Black men don't cheat, I ain't cheatin'
I've been on the road tryin' to get it in
Tryin' to go where I've never been
Tryin' to give you all this melanin
Mmm, hit my phone when it's relevant
I be at home when you're gettin' in
In the room, what's the elephant?
When I'm low, you're the medicine
So when you out, where you been then?
Mmm, deep waters, I'm in them
You're going out? Then I'm in then
Who's that? Never seen them
I was bad, never sinned dem
Never needed no opinions
Mmm, and I pray we never fall off
Got a son, want a daughter
When you're ready, we can go halves
Got the bag and it's all ours
When you're ready, we can go large
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
[Post-Chorus: Oscar #worldpeace]
Pick your poison (Uh)
Is it money or the moment? (Uh)
Are we running out of choices? (Uh)
When you're down, who you phoning? (Uh)
Still stay fully focussed (Uh)
Still in love with your progress (Uh)
Pick your poison (Uh)
If it's you, then I'm all in
