A one-off Christmas single using the traditional Coventry Carol as a chorus

lyrics

COVENTRY CAROL
Lully lulla, thou little tiny child
Bye bye lully lullay

Lully lully lully la, can you hear my bars?
Truly you be who you are, I can see the scars
Hidden under that camouflage, like you runnin from the cameras
Like you been hunted down by Panorama, feelin the karma
You waffle on at me like blah blah blah blah blah, yeah
Makin absolutely no fuckin sense but baby you’re a charmer
Even though my heart tried to sound the alarm
Your innocence and divinity were bound to disarm the
System, no motherfucker’s resistin whatcha bringin a
Poisonous siren singin so loud that my ears are ringin,
I was too blind to see, you were too kind to me, but you just couldn’t muster
The muscle for steppin up and discussin that you’ll never be the Duncan to my Trussell
I never thought that I’d buckle, to bitches who not worth the hustle
But that was back when I was closeted, positive that I would not get so ruffled
You women a lot of kerfuffle, I’m sinkin, I’m caught in the struggle
All I wanted was a bosom to nuzzle, a partner, a lover, a woman to snuggle
But fuck you, you’re nothin but trouble, to fuck you would surely be double
I must do what I gotta do and just cuss you until I feel better like ‘phew!’
So you can take your weather with you, shallow sentiments and memories too
I’II keep on lookin like Pepe Le Pew... cause I got nothin better to do

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Suck a dick, fuckin bitch, eat a fistful o’ shit – I’m just playin, don’t be pissed at my drift, this is
Hip hop, this is me tryna lift all the bricks off, under this rubble I’m a bit not
Functional, all this weight on my chest is uncomfortable, life’s fate gone and left me quite
Vulnerable, damn I wish that I could say this shit in front of you, it a takes cunt to do, the
Stuff you do, the fucked excuses, you misuse this power over me, it’s just abusive
I know that’s exaggeratin but I don’t exactly have the patience to be gracious in the face of this exasperation
You coulda been a bigger person, you coulda spared me so much of this hurtin
All that you had to do was have a chat or two, take the time to show I matter, dude
I’m mad at your attitude, you must not have a clue about the magnitude of the shit
I’ve been through, haven’t you ever had anyone damage you? Bitch, I tried to
Tell you I was insecure about bein ignored, it’s a
Spot that’s really sore, I been wounded to the core, I been
Through this shit before, it was truly fuckin raw, you been
Bringin it all back up with the lack of fucks that stack up, it was just
Bad luck that you didn’t wanna hang your bags up on a hook in my house, at that much I ain’t
Mad, but as for the way that you handled it, that’s what gets my candle of anger lit
I just wanna go back to my business, I don’t wanna have you on my dis rap hitlist
But I’m tryna live this with no witness, so I got to dig this pit til it’s shitless
You never gave me any closure on this, wish I could let go but my progress is inches
If you’re wonderin why I’m actin so vicious, you’re actin like a selfish piece of shit, merry Christmas

(REPEAT CHORUS)
