Lyrics

(Intro: spooky beat, lo-fi scratches)
Yo, yo...
From the shadows of the myst, where the gangsters ride,
Comes a tale so cold, unicorns don't confide...
A legend... or a lie? Who the hell can say?
It's Marlon the high unicorn — always M.I.A.

(Verse 1)
Back in '95, word was flyin' through the block,
'Bout a unicorn so faded he forgot how to walk.
Name was Marlon, sparkled like a busted disco ball,
But ain't nobody seen him, no one ever got the call.

They say he float in clouds, puffin’ on some cosmic green,
Invisible to eyes — ghosted every single scene.
Big horn, no hustle, he don’t show, he don’t ride,
But the streets still whisper like he’s right outside.

(Chorus)
Marlon, Marlon, where the hell you at?
Got a gold chain dream and a six-horned hat.
But you never show up, you just vanish in smoke,
Even if you did, you’d just stand there broke.

Marlon, Marlon, the myth on the run,
High as a kite, blockin' out the sun.
You useless, truthless, never on time,
But we still spit your name in a cold dope rhyme.

(Verse 2)
He ain’t never dropped a dime, never sparked a fight,
But if trouble hit the fan, Marlon gone outta sight.
They say he once chilled with Bigfoot and the Loch,
Passed the blunt to Elvis, then dipped off the dock.

He’s the hero that ain't helpin’, the ghost of the hood,
Tryna flex with that horn, but it ain't doin’ no good.
He ain’t got no juice, no crew, no aim,
But the streets still chant his forgotten name.

(Bridge: airy synths, voice echo)
Is he real? Is he fake? Just a stoner mistake?
Is he chillin’ with fate or asleep by the lake?
One horn up... in dreams he appears,
But don’t expect help when the drama nears.

(Final Chorus)
Marlon, Marlon, unicorn shame,
You legendary noth—just a name in the game.
Never show, never grow, never lifted a hand,
But we still tell the tale 'cause you part of the land.

Marlon, Marlon, too high to ride,
But in every hood tale, you still reside.
You ain't real useful, but you real in the lore,
The unicorn we waited for... but never hit the floor.

(Outro: beat fades, whispers)
Marlon... you out there, bro?
...didn't think so.
