Raleigh Ritchie - Cuckoo Lyrics






[Raleigh Ritchie:]
I do the devil's work seven days a week
I'll go to church, I'll make my peace
I'm only young, I'll be forgiven
What's the point in fun if it's not forbidden?

On the other hand I'm a prideful man
I don't like not having a plan
I'm lazy, borderline crazy
Cuckoo, bananas maybe
I don't give a damn

Who needs friends when you got drugs?
Who needs meds when you got love?
I don't care
Cuz I got nothing left to do
I'll get through
Though I'm...

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Insecure, not made of iron
I'm messed up for sport, not self-reliant
Oh, you're sad as fuck and I'm feeling lonely
I keep throwing up, I'm not feeling rosy

I fake relief when I'm blatently not all vacant
I'm on a trip
I'm lazy, borderline crazy
Cuckoo, bananas maybe
I'm sick of this shit

Who needs friends when you got drugs?
Who needs meds when you got love?
I don't care
Cuz I got nothing left to do
I'll get through
Though I'm...

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo

[Little Simz:]
I been taking time to discover what's underneath
I make the time move slower, it's a new division
Take me to a planet, my mind's never abandoned
Sketch up what just happened, now paint that shit on a canvas
I got too many thoughts, distorting words as I talk
I'm a superhuman for sure, you will recognize that the force
You feel me
Raleigh played it for me, I just couldn't let it go
Hard as rock beneath the stone, this shit is just set in stone
Real truth, you will find hope in these verses
My verses is rodent killer for vermins, are you disturbed yet?
Space is all I know, you should know
Have you not learned yet?
Park my presence in your presence, I don't need a permit
I don't have the time for these rappers, they better fall back
If you're gonna talk all that talk then you better walk that
Never thought that I would be a voice for a generation
Yeah an entire nation, but still who needs friends?
(Who the fuck needs 'em, man?)

[Raleigh Ritchie:]
Who needs friends when you got drugs?
Who needs meds when you got love?
I don't care
Cuz I got nothing left to do
I'll get through
Though I'm...

Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo

    Who needs friends

    All vacant, I'm on a trip

  76. S.... S....

    Really excited about this artist! - Tash, Sofar

  77. J.... K....

    This song is weird and I'm digging it

  78. c.... k....

    its a bittersweet feeling. i want J.A. to get the exposure/fame/credit/success he deserves for his work, yet i feel greedy, mean and childish!!! lmfao. i want his songs to be a secret/ an untrampled path, just for the mere fact that i want the essence of his work to remain intact and not whored out like the typical commercialized artistes they have. we all know how the 'bandwagonist mentality' is, they rinse out the songs and move on to another to consume like Galactus in silver surfer..hmmmph. chu Bumbo! anyhow, wish you all the sucess, Jacob :)

    c.... k....

    I think he's the type of artist to stay true

    c.... k....

    @Kristian Wilson i feel so too, but i look back on Lupe Fiasco, he was genuine and spoke the truth about immorality and inequality, then i heard they tried to commercialize his shit, to get more sales, which would mean he would have to change his image and content. im not sure how the whole story goes, but since he spoke out against some politics involving obama i havent seen or heard much of him on mainstream media.. for the most part, raleigh is being smart by not getting political. i hope he really stays true for real tho

    c.... k....

    +crackle krispies lupe is a independent artist now plus he said he is going to retire from the music business.

    c.... k....

    @kiki B. for real? retire? damn, shows that he knows the truth about whats really going on behind closed doors with the music industry.  koodos to him for not selling his  soul and bowing out

  79. c.... k....

     im just here waiting for more music -_-

  80. A.... ....

    can't wait to see you at haven, can't wait, you will catch a big big wave soon man

  81. V.... B....

    Differently Dope!

  82. T.... D....

    It's sooo hard for me to find an artist and instantly be captivated by their sound. You are by far my favourite musician right now! Amazing songs, amazing voice, pls continue to bring out pleeeeenty of new material!

    T.... D....

    PREACH!

    T.... D....

    Lol Iunno he's got a good sound and I like this song, but how can he be your favorite if he only has one album out?!? Better hope he releases new music soon lol

  83. S.... Z....

    This song definitely needs its video... As crazy as it sounds!!;-)

  84. X.... ....

    Yeah! another song :D !!!! Love it

  85. R.... Y....

    Love it ! :)

  86. h.... ....

    come far from adulthood Jacob

  87. j.... ....

    Keep it up man!! Love your music 👍

  88. R.... R....

    Here's Cuckoo (feat. Little Simz).

    I hope you like our weird song. Think of this not as the next chapter, but as an interlude...

    Shouts to Little Simz and Stefan Ponce for being awesome people. Kilt.

    R.... R....

    This is so amazing!! O.O

    R.... R....

    I'm really digging this !

    R.... R....

    @Raleigh Ritchie is there an official video being made for this? 
    FYI sounds so much better on my car stereo than on my macbook. 

    CC: @James Joseph Howard 

    R.... R....

    @Kamal Tailor Thought something was wrong with my computer, but interesting point. It is always weird to hear your mix afterwards and knowing what it will truly sound the best on. 

    R.... R....

    yo dude, do you produce all this yourself?
