About Corinthians
“Corinthians“ is the seventh track on billy woods' thirteenth studio album, GOLLIWOG, featuring a verse by Despot and production by El-P. The title, and the opening line of woods’s verse, refer to 1 Corinthians 13:12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. In an interview, woods described what he was doing on the track: “The book of Corinthians in the Bible has the oft-cited passages about how one sees the world, and even oneself. .
Corinthians Lyrics
[00:04.36] Scarecrow in the field, watching the spectacle
[00:06.50] It's still no dessert 'til you finish your vegetables
[00:09.32] Circumspect resurrect him in the vestibule
[00:11.98] In the building where they killed him, I'm true and living
[00:14.58] Fuck what they tellin' you
[00:24.26] What they like best is for a man to take off his belt (最好是解下腰带)
[00:28.84] And hang himself from a beam (挂在梁上,自己紧紧勒死)
[00:31.74] For then they can enjoy their heart's desire without being blamed (他们没有杀人的罪名,又偿了心愿)
[00:35.54] 自然都欢天喜地的发出一种呜呜咽咽的笑声
[00:38.77] Hungry eyes in the mirror like Corinthians
[00:40.65] Uncanny valley AI hit him with the hesi screaming, "Carrie", my vision swims
[00:44.60] Girlfriend, whenever you're around, your light dims
[00:47.28] Two cents, if it's on sight, say less
[00:49.63] Way I see it, it ain't no past tense
[00:52.06] Little kid, tiny desk
[00:53.50] Itty bitty violins, big head, blue lips
[00:56.17] If you never came back from the dead, can't tell me shit
[00:59.68] 12 billion USD hovering over the Gaza Strip
[01:02.71] You don't wanna know what it cost to live
[01:05.27] What it cost to hide behind eyelids
[01:06.90] When your back turnt, secret cannibals lick they lips
[01:10.25] Fingernails sharp
[01:11.85] I snatch the lights out a cat so I can see in the dark
[01:14.66] So I can see who you are
[01:16.57] Pig and the rat, he put 'em both in the ark
[01:19.17] With a wink and a laugh, stopped for gas in the desert like the House of Saud
[01:22.54] Sky hung with a crescent, a veil of stars
[01:25.38] Pickup weaving through dead cars
[01:27.67] Surface to air camoflage
[01:28.89] In the truck bed, on God
[01:30.54] Best believe them crackers won't make it to Mars
[01:32.83] (Mars, Mars, Mars, Mars)
[01:36.59] I ain't ever asked to be here, so when I decide to leave
[01:39.77] All them devils in the details rush to either side of me
[01:43.82] Where we goin' all depends what I pretended to believe
[01:47.58] When I finally meet my maker, I'll have somethin' up my sleeve
[01:51.23] And I'll find out if the god above me bleed the same as me
[01:54.87] 'Cause I'm tired of callin' out for him and fallin' on my knees
[01:58.40] And I'm never comin' back from that, so don't wait up for me
[02:02.47] You ain't gotta leave a light on, you ain't gotta hide a key
[02:05.94] Well, I ain't been myself lately, least I ain't been none of you
[02:09.86] Who wasted all the time you had talkin' 'bout what you 'bout to do
[02:13.57] When you finally knock on Heaven's door, they ain't expectin' you
[02:17.11] And if you don't get the fuck off the stoop right now, they gonna shoot
[02:21.29] Same old song, I sing it one more time
[02:24.73] On the day you're gone, ain't nobody gon' cry for you
[02:28.73] Take what's yours and I make it all mine
[02:32.28] Til' the money's so long like it's sayin' "Bye-bye" to you
[02:36.33] Clip them wings, change the way time flies to you
[02:39.94] Won't ride, die, drive by, or lie for you
[02:47.54] Ain't nowhere to run, nowhere to hide for you
[02:51.43] They ain't get far without an arm and a leg
[02:54.29] And then the beast below the streets showed up and told 'em they dead
[02:57.99] They need to meet me like they need a fuckin' hole in the head
[03:01.89] And if you leave it up to me, that be what all of 'em get
[03:06.16] Fuck what they tellin' you
[03:08.17] I realize all the poison in their speech (我看出他话中全是毒)
[03:10.64] All the daggers in their laughter (笑中全是刀)
[03:12.95] Their teeth are white and glistening (他们的牙齿,全是白厉厉的排着)
[03:18.54] They are all cannibals (这就是吃人的家伙)
[03:19.93]
