Quinston Pugh - Matador! Lyrics

Hieroglyphics on the walls tell the story of us
A faded painting, cracking like the fire in our candlelight
When we were young and sprung, that love was clouding me up
The sweetest thing like Lauren, but the Hill I couldn’t seem to climb
Matador, they want me, I’m revving up, my army
Fade away, no NBA, I’m pulling off, like Harley
Matador, had a red flag, was a state of war, I got jet lag
Yeah in my brain, was a burning plane
Coming down down down like a ball and chain
Matador, matador, young bull feeling stuck in the cages
Put his dukes up fighting in the ring with a beast
And the ding, ding, made em go crazy
Feeling tempted by the unseen dangers, stirring madness up in his eyes
When he walked away, became a bird of prey, it was a blessing in disguise
Just know I was weak like with seven, a crippling peasant
I jousted with none of my gear
My enemy came with a vengeance, awaiting his sentence
You know that he don’t live in fear
Tasmanian devil, so looney, he spun and then threw me
I swung on a chandelier
I’m Pèpe Le Pew, outta touch, I been searching for love
But my hearts in an evil lair
Coming through like I’m Paul Revere
But no ain’t no British in here
I’m telling you people who itching for freedom
That you ain’t gonna find it out there
Sat down in an electric chair, ol’ boy got a shocker
Took a fall just like lighting, McQueen was enticing
The Chicks had my seeing impaired.
Menace, formidable frequent flyer, remind me of Dennis
He want the win, want the crown, drill it off like a dentist
He only do what I approve, like I was running the senate
And so I try to keep my record unblemished
Matador, I see temptation, I sprint towards it
It’s a state a war
Yeah I’m a bull, they tortue me
Just like a matador, got a target on my back
Cuz sin’s a carnivore, Matador
Matador, I see temptation, I sprint towards it
It’s a state a war
Yeah I’m a bull, they torture me
Just like a matador, got a target on my back
Cuz sin’s a carnivore, Matador
Out of my brain like Kanye, Bout to go ape no Yonce
Spewing out lava like Pompéi, young black king, Yibambe
Carry my faith like a backpack
Breaking off fakes, no KitKat
Lost my balance on the horseback
Kicked my feet and bounced right back
Working on Home Improvement, like Tim
So I pedal on, I need a tandem
Go until the wheels fall off or Till the road is not
Then I’ll go and sing this anthem
Push till I have nothing to give, rise through the smoke, I do it like Wiz
End up on the other side, where the clouds are white
And the world is perfect to live
Keeping the stash in its place, Steve Harvey
Redeeming myself, like a young Bob Marley
Ion play nice anymore, speak harshly
Straighten out my image, under stress, I’m starchy
Don’t fit the mold, not Ken, not Barbie
Dunk in the game, 23, Mike Jordan
Illest with the bars, got a rover on Mars
I realize the stakes right now, Oh Charley’s
So ive been keeping on the watch, because I need to stay awake
Time is ticking, I’m not missing not a single little thing
I’m invested in myself which means I cannot play yo games
Y’all keep changing like the seasons, but know that I never change
Why you keep revving me up?
I don’t think that I’m strong enough
Can’t tell if it’s love or it’s lust, but they both look the same to me
Why can’t you see that I’m trying?
But this beast walking round a lion, and I’m the one broken and crying
So baby don’t say a word to me
Matador, I see temptation, I sprint towards it
It’s a state a war
Yeah I’m a bull, they tortue me
Just like a matador, got a target on my back
Cuz sin’s a carnivore, Matador
Matador, I see temptation, I sprint towards it
It’s a state a war
Yeah I’m a bull, they tortue me
Just like a matador, got a target on my back
Cuz sin’s a carnivore, Matador
