Cal Scruby 1000 Ways To Die

There’s a simple formula in modern-day rap music that seems to be as effective as any: a slick flow paired with a vaguely spooky dark minor-key banger. For Cal Scruby, it’s a blueprint that helped his brand new album While You Were Sleeping stand out as an instantly enjoyable listening experience. Though there are many strong cuts to choose from, there’s something alluring about the eerie “1000 Ways To Die,” an early album track that makes effective use of one of rap’s underutilized instruments: the harp.

Lyrics

[Intro]
I swear, I swear, yeah
Know what I’m sayin’, know what I’m sayin’?
Ayy

[Verse 1]
This shit came from the soul
Deep down know they never know
Stoneheart, no, they ain’t never grow
One song, no, they ain’t never blow
Y’all knew straight from the go
Got about Ohio went straight to the pros
So Van Gogh how I paint with the flow
When I came back home and they had to get a boy like A. Pusho
Let’s slide like brakes in the snow, when it’s cold out
Outside wintertime and I still got the lines
Still on some, but that motherfucker sold out
Somehow I still get slept on like a fold out I slept on when I first got flown out
That’s way back when I had no clout, I still got no doubt
I’m just gon’ make it work
There’s so much cocaine it hurts
I broke down like 16 lines, that’s just how I made this verse
I’m gon’ keep it real ’til I make it I’m not gon’ fake it first
When shawty drop it down for me like an 808, it shake the earth

[Chorus]
I swear, I swear
I was broke, I got the cheque, I got repaired
I’ve been workin’, I’ve been gone, I disappeared
In the end nothing matters, I don’t care
It’s a- It’s a- It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)

[Verse 2]
U-Up so late, it’s early, she pulled up like 6-6:30
This bitch used to curve me
Now she suck me up, now this bitch Kirby, ooh
Liquid courage got me swerving off that 42 I’m worthy
They better hang my jersey next to 33 and 32
This shit go crazy, might shave my head like Britney
Might go insane but I broke my brain if I got this fame too quickly
If you want talk to the boy, gotta pay, ’cause I’m way, way, way too busy
Got 2K for the work but boy I taught you the game like Britney
Don’t got no ice, all this shit heat
That’ll mess up my whiskey, neat
Breaking down weed, this shit so sticky, I thought it was a damn Rice Krispy treat
Wait, wait, wait, hold the fuck up
Show up with the crew so you know I’m fucked up
Big bad wolf how I blow it all down
It’s about time I blow the fuck up

[Chorus]
I swear, I swear
I was broke, I got the cheque, I got repaired
I’ve been workin’, I’ve been gone, I disappeared
In the end nothing matters, I don’t care
It’s a- It’s a- It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
It’s a thousand ways to die in LA (In LA)
