Dead man Quote by Machine Gun Kelly
“Voices in the air I hear 'em loud and clear Telling me to listen Whispers in my ear Nothing can compare I just wanna listen As my world turns, the heart beats Not only in my chest, but the heart in the streets So when they feel this, they feel me But I can't feel nothin', outside these Dre beats I am from the city of people, came from the bottom Standing on top of what was supposed to be my coffin, what's up? Except for shows, we are the dead man walkin' But reflections show this kid's still got it Better be known I got the throne like I don't know that there's a king Never grew up around a family because I'm not a human being And anyone under my bubble that's coming in my spot, for the top Let 'em have it, 'cause when I leave, the whole world drops Lace up Kells I hear voices in the air I hear it loud and clear They're telling me to listen Whispers in my ear Nothing can compare I just want to listen”
