Vin Skully Lyrics by Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist

[Intro]
For every problem life shames, a faithful friend to share for every side a sweet song and an answer for each prayer. You and I have been friends for a long time

[Chorus]
Big grip, get flipped
Hand over fist, that’s quick
Snake oil salesman with the pitch
That’s slick
Ain’t no tellin’ when it end
No matter the spend, I know when I got a hit
That’s it, that shit get sent over the fence
I’m home, another run on the road, look how I slid
I remember the cold and shruggin’ ’til I was sore inside the crib

[Verse]
I don’t know what it is
I remember the ghost inside the crib
Hosin’ down the problem with gin and tonic
How to stay afloat in a bottomless pit
The trick is to stop fallin’
Only option to start with a step, bet
Son of father and death
Big mama with the vision of sorrow, now I know why they wept
I watched it brew into a quarrel I know just what to bet
Now we halvin’ like Dewey Cox out in the shed
I had the unify all the plurals in Paris
I promise you truly don’t want no parts of this shit
A couple side-splitters got me outta some jams
I had to style a little so the killers could laugh

[Chorus]
Big grip, get flipped
Hand over fist, that’s quick
Snake oil salesman with the pitch
Ain’t no tellin’ when it end
No matter the spend, I know when I got a hit
That’s it, that shit get sent over the fence
I’m home, another run on the road, look how I slid
I remember the cold and shruggin’ ’til I was sore inside the crib
Now I know what it is

[Outro]
I remember
Y’know everybody has their different uh ways and– what they use ’em for
But we’ll let them explain that to
