Lyrics

I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
 And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet
 And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
 Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
 I doubt it
 I look over my shoulder not knowing where it's coming from
 But knowing that its coming, I was bugging as a youngin'
 Now im runnin from, somethin' that'll even out my dumb decisions
 The night I shot and had him bleedin' out his lungs and spittin'
 Do any sins go unforgiven? I hope not
 Cause most of mine were hunger driven, nothing in my mother's kitchen,
 Stomach sounds like the clouds ignited and the thunder hitting
 So the well-schooled kid ended up with more than a couple missin'
 So not a chef but the cocaine forever cookin'
 I love kids but now I' selling to a pregnant woman
 Stumbling through the projects in the AM with a cup in my hand,
 Gun on my waist and, "I don't give a fuck" is my plan.
 You'll never understand my palm sweat
 Followed by shortness of breath then my heart jets and I ain't find a calm yet
 Go on let shorty sin
 Cause ain't no way in hell this ain't Joell,
 that's brave enough to tell you everything
 I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
 And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet
 And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
 Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
 I doubt it
 Fuck all that rapping, I'mma let the conversation rock
 I got skeletons in my closet
 The living dead live in a nigga head, behind a combination lock
 When will the occupation stop it? Make it a vacant lot
 The black mamba when I crack vodka, I'mma take a shot
 And Hope the stowaways go away before the anchor drop
 Yeah thanks a lot, I'm a bottle drinkin' nutcase
 Cover of XXL behind Em, I had the drunk face
 I steadily dream about cleanin' these demons out
 In order to clean them out, you gotta scream and shout
 All of your secrets out loud
 It started as a kid at my school desk
 Aced every quiz but I wanted to pass the cool test
 Ain't nothing cool about school shopping at the thrift store
 And living in an abandoned station wagon cause you was piss poor
 So I started stealing all of the clothes that the other kids wore
 That's when the skeletons moved into my mind on the sixth floor
 And more came through Crooked I's youth
 I slowly started moving them out the closet to this mic booth
 For real, bro
 I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
 And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet
 And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
 Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
 I doubt it
 I thought I had it all locked away till forever
 But no memories fade away, They seem to stay
 Comfortable in my conscience you live in my dreams
 They say time heals it all then whys the pain still with me?
 See the problem is, I know it all
 Or maybe the problem is that I just show it all
 Maybe they that thinking I should be ashamed of my actions but really there's no remorse
 Maybe the lord will decide that I suffered enough and let me live with no withdrawals
 Then again all it would mean is he deemed I'm much too important to focus all
 We could talk about pain 24/7 dog, that's my department
 Intercity blues cruise and I'm blasting that Marvin
 Skeletons ain't in my closet, that's my apartment
 And they like to hide behind thousand dollar fabrics and garments
 It's all bleak to me
 Tell my Pop I ain't bothered when he don't speak to me, I love you but it's weak to me
 On one hand life is short and there's no excuse to do it
 But you was missing half my life dog, I'm kind of used to it
 Modern day Son of Sam, judge but you don't understand
 Me against the world, I plan on winning, know I'm on demand
 Want to see through the eyes of a monster? Look through my glasses tint
 My roommates can stay here, just take care of half the rent
 I got some skeletons locked in the closet (yeah, yeah)
 And I've been dyin', dyin' just to find an outlet
 And I'm hoping that no one finds out about it (yeah, yeah)
 Wishing maybe it'll disappear but I doubt it
 I doubt it
 I doubt it
 I doubt it...
