1. Don't Panic
VERSE 1
Fell asleep
And I woke up in a nightmare
It's the end of the world, but you're not here
I feel your energy calling out to me
Though you've stayed so out of sight
You know it'd be a shame though
Not to smile beneath that mask
Emit the same glow
To illuminate the path through the dark
I don't shine as bright as you
Just as the sunlight poured down anew
Like the sun saw itself in you
PRE-CHORUS
Grimmalkin will mess you up
And cut you with her claws so long
So fuck humanity
I'd hate for this to be the way
The way the ship goes down
But cats are better than these human beings
These beings, they're growing out of seeds
They claim a mean linguine
Yet they skimp out on the cheese
"I've got a dream, a dream to be a porno queen
And MLK's dream just serves as a kinky porno scene"
CHORUS
Facing a world pandemic
Oh, who would stand to benefit?
A new world order where truth becomes irrelevant
You're so pa-
Yeah, you're so pathetic
Stay inside, wash your hands and just don't panic
Facing a world pandemic
The queue for those with eyes to see
A new world order where truth becomes the enemy
There's no con-
No, there's no containment
Stay inside, wash your hands and just don't panic
VERSE 2
Fell asleep and I woke up in a nightmare
It's not the end of the world if you don't care
Keep looking back, where have the days gone now?
See, I ask myself the question
At these moments in my life
And will you be there to hold me
When I cross the Great Divide
Just as the sunlight poured down anew
Like the sun saw itself in you
PRE-CHORUS
Grimmalkin will mess you up
And cut you with her claws so long
So fuck humanity
I'd hate for this to be the way
The way the ship goes down
But cats are better than these human beings
These beings, they're growing out of seeds
They claim a mean linguine
Yet they skimp out on the cheese
"I've got a dream, a dream to be a porno queen
And MLK's dream just serves as a kinky porno scene"
CHORUS
Facing a world pandemic
Oh, who would stand to benefit?
A new world order where truth becomes irrelevant
You're so pa-
Yeah, you're so pathetic
Stay inside, wash your hands and just don't panic
Facing a world pandemic
The queue for those with eyes to see
A new world order where truth becomes the enemy
There's no con-
No, there's no containment
OUTRO
But it's a new world
So welcome to the new world order
We might have sealed the border but it's here now
The light was dimmed at the Source
While we all stayed asleep in their dreams
The age of ignorance was carried on the back of the kids
With one-way tickets to the graveyard
All in this together? So full of it...
If there was justice, we would all deserve to suffocate
4. Napalm
VERSE 1
We'd pay the fee to see you guzzle down the cattle fodder
Hose down the gullet, turn it on: tell me, how much you want? Don't listen to Madonna, we came up from the bottom
The sum of every choice will end up on our sons and daughters Post-quarantine haircut has got to get me looking so fresh,
so light it up just like the ATF did David Koresh
Why should I even bother? Give up, conform, or barter?
Might catch me ballin' like I robbed The Wealthy Barber
PRE-CHORUS
But you know you're about to flip when you got the coal
from a guy trading bronze for some gold, dancing under the napalm
CHORUS
I'll be dancing under the napalm,
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
Under the napalm, I'll be dancing under the napalm
and when the lights go out I'm burning 'till the rain's gone
VERSE 2
Picked up a rock to see who could throw the thingy farther Ended up bashing out each other's brains and getting nowhere We keep on blowing hot air, we know the world is not fair
and yet we sit around and dictate from a spinning armchair
No room for less than what we came for, we serve only the best A coward looking like a champion in a bullet-proof vest
See, up is down, I'm aware, the revolution's out there
I could have missed you, but I did not see you there
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Nothing to do but stare it down and calm the waters
Nothing to lose by sifting through the cattle fodder
We might find a clue, I hope so,
or beam me up and fly me far away
CHORUS
6. Day by Day
INTRO
A man, a man, a man sitting on a fire
A man, a man, a man's lost all desire
A man, a man, a man sitting on a fire
A man, a man, a man's lost all desire
VERSE 1
We're all fucking hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites
Everybody's playing the game
Five-O on the highway, not going my way
Saints and sinners, one and the same
I like the thought of hot revolution with a flame on the knife
just like the French did back in the day
and when the people woke from their slumber
to the gold in their hearts
who would've thought how fast the power would sway
CHORUS
Day by day, I'm living my life
and I'll stick it to the man
who's got me running circles in my head
Day by day, I'm getting by
and I'll watch the sun come out
and burn a hole right in between your eyes
Day by day, I'm doing my time
and I'll shoo the stupid motherfucker wasting mine
They're gonna hang in the gallows for the depths of their crimes
I swear to God, you should have seen that, it's a fact
POST-CHORUS
If it's Trudeau, if it's Trump,
if it's Biden, who gives a fuck?
Kiss my, kiss my, kiss my, kiss my,
kiss my, kiss my, kiss my, kiss my ass
If it's Trudeau, if it's Trump,
Joe Biden? What the fuck?
Can't remember, can't remember
Tara Reade? Who's that?
Who can I count on to have my back
when the whip goes crack and it's time to attack?
(Remember, remember, the 5th of November)
That change is coming, just keep voting
Left or right? Your stupid is showing
VERSE 2
We're all fucking hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites
I'm about to bring on the pain
But I forgot my mind, hey, I'll bring it Friday
Until then, just stay in your lane
You know you must obey, earn your freedoms,
trample natural rights
worked like a mule from your birth till your grave
And while we sip champagne on the backs
of the people you love
oh, don't you dare question our authority
CHORUS
POST-CHORUS
BRIDGE
So how long will we deny the evident,
paint over the writing on the walls?
Can you the call move across the cosmos?
Love grows on and on unto the dawn
8. The Sheeple
VERSE 1
Turn off the TV, it's a sedative
out of The Truman Show and into the unknown, yeah
I treat the music as the medicine
or the plant with the spirit, take it's hand and it'll show ya
Better back up when I'm shining my light
if you don't want to go blind for the rest of your life
This ain't no joke, don't you give up the fight
Keep it going 'till the wrongs are made right
CHORUS
but then I opened the door and there were the sheeple
destined to graze on the lies sold until the day
we open our wings and fly like an eagle
Upward, together, forever
VERSE 2
I think we're here, we're at the precipice
Will we walk over the edge with our heads down in our phones? Trying to answer all the messages,
as we miss the most important one
that's coming from the soul, yeah
Tongue-tied when you're face-to-face with spirit
and it's alright, no, there ain't no need to fear it
See, the truth is through the ceiling (baa)
the writing's on the walls (baa)
but they'll still follow the sheep until the whole damn thing falls
CHORUS
but then I opened the door and there were the sheeple
destined to graze on the lies sold until the day
we open our wings and fly like an eagle
Upward, together, forever
BRIDGE
I talked to you but you seemed so confused
because you made your truth what you saw on the news
So tell me, whatchu gunna do when they're coming for you?
It's a catch 22, is the world just a zoo?
Oh, what sound does the sheep make? Ba ba ba ba
What sound does the sheep make? Ba ba ba ba ba
Baa, baa, baa
OUTRO
So open your wings and fly like an eagle Upward, together, forever if we wake up before it's too late
2. So Free
VERSE 1
Low life, you’re a leech
And you’ve been sucking on my soul, mind and my body
You’ve been doing it a long time
Over there, the bombs are falling
But you don’t mind, you don’t mind
‘cause you’re here for a good time
Not to fill your head with drivel like Noam Chomsky
And the propaganda tells you you’re the good guy
Overhead, the bombs are falling
But you don’t mind, you don’t mind
CHORUS
A piece of me
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me ]You know a little truth would set you free, so free
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
VERSE 2
Bounced right back, took back my seat
Never seen them so disappointed
Waking up from our slumber Is it gonna take an eternity?
Study history, don’t repeat
But will we really heed that warning?
Checked our track record, my bet’s no
‘Cause we gotta have iPhones, my dough
A bigger slice in my pie hole
The diamonds, lights and lies that entice
New device? I gotta get it It can widen my ice-hole
(Oh and look, it’s on sale on Amazon, great)
CHORUS
A piece of me
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
OUTRO CHORUS
A piece of me
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
You know a little truth would set you free, so free
I know you want to get a piece of me, of me
Don't you think a little truth would set you free, so free
3. POTUS
VERSE 1
Sitting here bidin' my time
It don't make any sense so I'm here spinning my mind
about the hit the polls and draw an X, stay inside of the lines
and choose the next guy who's ruling my life
Wiping off the crusty little bits in my eye
and between steaming piles, man, I just couldn't decide
All I know is that if you're not standing here on my side
at this moment then I'll dig in my heels,
don't care to bridge the divide, I'm like
CHORUS
We're not the SCOTUS
I'm not the POTUS but I'm putting you on notice
It's a fact that you're whack, over-comfortably
so of course you've got nothing to say, and I'm like
We're not the SCOTUS
I'm not the POTUS but I'm putting you on notice (attacked)
VERSE 2
Kicking the can down the street, uh, I got the feeling
that Uncle Sam climbed into bed while we were sleeping
so now he's dead and bleeding, and no one's grieving
I cocked that .40 like you wouldn't believe it
and you might think that you got me,
but what you got is a knock-off
A grand on OnlyFans you spend to get your rocks off
Claim you're the king but you're the Simp Lord
you have to pay for it
The tax cattle toil so they can pinch more ass
in the grass that they feed you grown with Round-Up
Cash makes you forget about your final place in the ash
You might not feel it but it's coming up fast
A one-way ticket and you're flying first class
with the other fat cats
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Kick up that Wildstyle, open sesame
your turn to come dance with me
You're screwed no matter who you choose
That's why you're still so damn obsessed with me
One time, rest is history
Blindside, ain't no way that you'll lose
5. Sleeping with the Enemy
VERSE 1
Speaking about freaking out and pulling out investment
I would say that human beings might never learn their lesson
but if we can learn from pain and start to see it as a blessing
I could die and leave you with the f-following question:
Are you ready for the fight now?
Do you really have the eyes to see?
Do you really wanna get that down in the dirt,
do what it takes to be free?
Me? I was a born with the mission inside me
A slimy 33 degrees
as we worship the scum at the bottom of the barrel
Know it never meant shit to me
CHORUS
and under cover of the night we'll cut the chains
As freedom bells ring out we close our eyes
and connect to the souls of our ancestors
Know you're never alone, you're gonna come home
Don't hang up the phone,
you'll know when you're sleeping with the enemy
VERSE 2
Billy-boy Gates couldn't find his third eye,
pull back the curtain, what do I see?
The Wizard of Oz in a button-up shirt
is a scrawny motherfucker looking at me
Dershowitz kept sticking his dick
where it don't belong on Epstein's plane
Clinton's screwing little kids with what-the-fuck's his name
I think I see some dots connect,
draw a line through the fuckers like "bam, bam, bam"
If it weren't for the eye on the dollar Bill,
only thing he'd be fucking is his hand-hand-hand
Drawn and quartered, tar and feathered would be too nice
I'd rather bomb the fuckers like I'm Condaleza Rice
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Mark Fuckerberg wants to check my facts
I say he can kiss my ass
Why not censor CNN, Fox, MSNBC
Yeah, how about that, bitch?
Bug-eyed as he is tongue-tied, yeah,
sick tie, ate the goat with Jack
Sit back with a Big Mac and get fat
Are you kidding? Get real, fuck that
Get on the fuckin' battlefield,
if not, go and slip on a banana peel
Showed up at the pearly gates and tried sneaking in
but God was like "nah, didn't keep it real"
This time around,
it's gonna take a motherfuckin' army to keep me silent
and avoid a world that walks down the path
that ends in violence, I know
CHORUS
7. Notification
VERSE 1
Top of the morning Scott
I smoked a bowl to get me started,
ate a piece of toast, I picked my nose and then I farted
To my dearly departed:
you know I feel you when you're feeling broken-hearted
No time to waste or we're going to end up where we started
Just take the shot, you might hit the target
My inbox, Tik Tok, Facebook, Instagram
those Bumble/Tinder apps keep me retar-uh
Can't say that, lockdown's got you 'bout to lose your mind
'cause there are no distractions left to eat up your time
PRE-CHORUS
All aboard, bandwagon's leaving soon
but you never really had a clue
and if the world caught fire, you would hold the hose
but you wouldn't know what to do
CHORUS
Let me come over, burn the TV
throw your iPhone into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
Why not come over, burn the TV
throw your Android into the river
I'm so sick of the scrolling
Notification, b-b-b-boring
VERSE 2
So where the heck have you been?
Go within, how else are you gonna win?
If I wanna draw blood, I might as well do it with the fucking pen Don't cross me when I'm writing, t-t-that's a sin
I can't imagine how we end up in trouble yet again
It's like a vicious cycle, a battle that you're never gonna win
when you're flailing like a fish with no fin
A major cringe with a tinge of virtue signaling BS once again
I've already made my peace with the world
if everything were to end, so I say
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Lifted up, glimpsed the cold light of day
but then the spirit called and took their lives away
so as the veil comes down for us to see right through
Forfeit a filthy dollar, find another revenue
CHORUS
1. Hand Grenade
VERSE 1
Is it only in our graves that we'll remember
spawning ages, hidden in the dust?
The earth speaks volumes
of a people long gone and a struggle to find the rhythm
in everything that breathes and moves around me
CHORUS
Yeah, we get it - you've got a lot to say
You won't catch me with my face in your hand grenades
I expected to find a better way
You won't catch me with some dumb ape in retrograde
face in your hand grenades
VERSE 2
Is it only in our pain that we surrender
to the Timeless?
Remind us of the gold within the grave
Let the ways we grow match the steps we take
and the love we reap match the hearts we break
CHORUS
Yeah, we get it - you've got a lot to say
You won't catch me with my face in your hand grenades
I expected to find a better way
You won't catch me with some dumb ape in retrograde
face in your hand grenades
BRIDGE
In love with my sweet parasite
In the dark, dead things appear alive
In the passenger's seat, left fear to drive
Watch me watch my whole life pass me by
OUTRO
Yeah, we get it - you've got a lot to say
You won't catch me with my face in your hand grenades
I expected to find a better way
You won't catch me with some dumb ape in retrograde
Yeah, we get it - you've got a lot to say
You won't catch me with my face in your hand grenades
I expected to find a better way
You won't catch me with some dumb ape in retrograde
face in your hand grenades
face in those fucking hand grenades
3. End of Days
VERSE 1
This world took my heart, my soul and all my feelings
Go the hell or pray to a god I don't believe in
Angels tried to fly my way and hit the ceiling
'Till I see its' wings myself I won't believe it
CHORUS
and then they told me:
"Son, how could you compromise
the golden light your heart divides?
Can you feel your Karma coming back
to you?"
VERSE 2
Passed down through ancestral lines of darkened ages
Blood would stain the streets and swords of holy sages
Two eyes shut, a third eye blind and minds in cages
As the old world crumbles, so the new world rages
CHORUS
and then they told me:
"Son, how could you compromise
the golden light your heart divides?
Can you feel your Karma coming back
to you?"
BRIDGE
Eight dried grams of psilocybin one fine evening
Freedom from the cycles or doomed to repeat them?
Angels from the other side with gold hearts beaming
'Til I see their wings, oh I can't wait to meet them
CHORUS
and then they told me:
"Son, how could you compromise
the golden light your heart divides?
Can you feel your Karma coming back
to you?"
5. Bitter
VERSE 1
I went out wearing shoes
I came back in the nude
The story must be true
I saw it on the news
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
I party on the ledge
the places that I dread
The faces that I've shed
forgot about their pledge
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
PRE-CHORUS
Don't wake me 'till the moment the cold wind's blowing in
Don't shake me from the warmth of the tube
I'm not in the mood for dying next to you
CHORUS
It all looks the same to me
Selling lies through a blind man's melody
Why would I give it up for free
in the land of hope and opportunity?
It all looks the same to me
Selling lies through a blind man's melody
Why would I give it up for free
in the land of hope and opportunity?
VERSE 2
I live here in my bed
I don't know what she said
My face is going red
I messed it up again
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
The story's coming loose
We just lost the caboose
I don't know what to do
I'll leave it up to you
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
PRE-CHORUS
Don't wake me 'till the moment the cold wind's blowing in
Don't shake me from the warmth of the tube
I'm not in the mood for dying next to you
CHORUS
It all looks the same to me
Selling lies through a blind man's melody
Why would I give it up for free
in the land of hope and opportunity?
It all looks the same to me
Selling lies through a blind man's melody
Why would I give it up for free
in the land of hope and opportunity?
OUTRO
The lines between us must be severed
I'm not holy and I'm not bitter
The world's on fire so cry me a river
A world without you would be a lot better
The lines between us must be severed
I'm not holy and I'm not bitter
The world's on fire so cry me a river
A world without you would be a lot better
2. Reflections
VERSE 1
What you hate about me is what you hate about you
Take the mirror off the wall and hold it up to you
I keep it polished and clean so you can get a good view
You cover up your scars with your hate, I wear 'em like a tattoo
So close the curtains while you're eating fondue
Filling up that hole in your soul, but in the end it won't do
I've got a mouth full of shade
but don't worry, ain't talking about you
Don't worry ain't talking about you
CHORUS
What I see in you, what you see in me
are the reflections of what's hiding underneath
but it's alright, asleep for the car ride
What I see in you, what you see in me
are the reflections of what's hiding underneath
but it's alright, asleep for the car ride or awake
VERSE 2
So if you say you want brain
pick up a book, you're a dummy
You spend too much time watching TV
CNN with your mommy
I call you out of concern to ask if your fridge is running
so when I drink your beer later, it'll be even more yummy
Ain't trying to be funny man, I just ran over a bunny
You didn't catch me crying though, I'm just cutting up an onion
I came to bathe in the sun, I can't admit that I'm wrong
because my ego's too big and my head is too strong
So fuckin' eh...
When honesty is so out of character
you parrot the parrot, limit the narrative in America
So hypocritical, somewhat apolitical
I don't care if your green's off the street or if it's medical
My flow's so sick I gotta pass around a bucket
Haters getting fried like a little Chicken McNugget, c'mon...
You need a miracle to see me coming
Even in death, my soul will haunt you to the grave
CHORUS
What I see in you, what you see in me
are the reflections of what's hiding underneath
but it's alright, asleep for the car ride
What I see in you, what you see in me
are the reflections of what's hiding underneath
but it's alright, asleep for the car ride or awake
VERSE 3
That was a nice try, that almost deserved a high-five
Acting a fool but you're really such a nice guy
Clown with the big shoes on
and you really just can't see yourself offending anyone
No, you're just a little ray of sun licking the fondue off the table
We can tell that you starve,
the way you eat up the fable and chew
Those insecurities must've started glaring
That explains why you can't stop staring
OUTRO
What you hate about me is what you hate about you
Take the mirror off the wall and hold it up to you
I keep it polished and clean so you can get a good view
You cover up your scars with your hate, I wear 'em like a tattoo
So close the curtains while you're eating fondue
Filling up that hole in your soul, but in the end it won't do
I've got a mouth full of shade
but don't worry, ain't talking about you
Don't worry ain't talking about you
4. Lost and Found
VERSE 1
You ever notice that when you look in someone's eyes
you can kind of see into their soul for just a tiny sliver in time
and that moment you shared will spin
into forever and ever and ever
the plot is so clever
the devil wears a black and grey sweater in ninety degrees
adding to my belief that I've got to peel off every single layer
of the skin the binds me to the ground
you might use a prayer, meditation
but ascension is the final hair on the hand of God
The thought that I've thought take life
in the form of sounds from all walks of life
These words are the worthy sacrifice for the vision of
one world, one peace, one love, one light
taking form in our minds like a needle in your fucking eye
I can rap these songs but there are no words to write
the depths of the pain I feel when I see the suffering and strife
As I daydream that the day turned to night,
I can't tell my left from my right
cause I'm so fucking high off this blunt
I think I just saw Jesus Christ, Mohammad and Moses
carpooling on their way to Heaven in one hell of a ride
I can't be sure, I was blitzed at the time
but I've got nothing to hide
So if you're coming up behind me, you must be on my side
I've got a mission and I'm on it
you're just along for the ride, so listen
CHORUS
If you lost your halo, just give me a ring: 800-0321
Gotta let go, let go of the reigns I'm holding with a death grip
If you lost your halo, just give me a ring: 800-0321
Gotta let go, let go of the reigns I'm holding with a death grip
If you lost your halo...
VERSE 2
Would you rather I rap about something more pleasing
or something I don't even believe in
just to appease the masses?
Like I'll kowtow to fucking fascists
This rap is just fact upon fact
and it's purpose is to get your head out your ass
so plain to see that, and yeah
The more you pull back,
the more you can see the actors,
the size of the stage,
but if life's a game then love is the prize
Take a step up, don't be shy
the only way to win is to try
What's the point of being alive if you can't take the heat?
Get out of the kitchen! Stop bitching!
Either take the bull by the horns
or get the hell out of the ring
Take a second to think:
a third of the world's population is starving
and you're tripping 'cause they didn't give you
ketchup with your onion rings?
It's called perspective...
expanding the walls of perception like a mental erection
This world's a deception,
If you buy into it's games you'll find yourself losing your leverage
Everything you've worked to gain can be taken away at any moment
Every moment is potent with potential
you don't need to show no credentials so
might as well seize it and own it
Don't waste your time trying to walk a line that's been
drawn by a mind with a big fucking hole in it
Why not pen your own and show these ho's
how flexible an artist's soul is?
CHORUS
If you lost your halo, just give me a ring: 800-0321
Gotta let go, let go of the reigns I'm holding with a death grip
If you lost your halo, just give me a ring: 800-0321
Gotta let go, let go of the reigns I'm holding with a death grip
If you lost your halo...
BRIDGE
Is this what it means to live the good life
in a house with a wife, three little kids
running around the house like it's World War 5?
Man it'll take more than that to satify this man right here
so ratify that bill to include this line
Section 3, Article 45
Funny how it takes a fucking genocide
to make us treat each other with
a little more love and alittle more light
Why the need to divide is such a prominent idea
in your eyes is beyond me
To be free means to be free, not to be a fucking zombie
Ignorance is bliss until you spill it on me
So next time you get cocky, remmber:
you're a bag of raw meat wrapped in skin, looking like salami
(mmm, salami)
Go cry to mommy and tell her to call me
I won't claim to be a prophet 'till you people put that on me
CHORUS
If you lost your halo, just give me a ring: 800-0321
Gotta let go, let go of the reigns I'm holding with a death grip
If you lost your halo, just give me a ring: 800-0321
Gotta let go, let go of the reigns I'm holding with a death grip
If you lost your halo...
1. Households
VERSE 1
I've all but turned my room into a mausoleum
Lost somewhere between old dishes and memories on the wall
My apathy could eat me whole
dissolve my reverence
I won't admit it but this bed's become my living penance
CHORUS
'Cause I need you to see this through
This house holds it's own abuse
I'm alright 'cause you're here today
On this lifeboat troubles slip away
VERSE 2
Lost in a daydream, drifting through the open lines
I don't need a reason to lay here with an empty mind
'Cause no one can reach me
I'm not my body
Though I know in my heart that it's probably my falling
And I try so hard not to touch my brakes
and I've lost so much but I've upped the stakes
So I'll crash and burn just to feel alive
I wake up in bed just to find out I survived
CHORUS
'Cause I need you to see this through
This house holds it's own abuse
I'm alright 'cause you're here today
On this lifeboat troubles slip away...
3. Rush Hour Crush
VERSE 1
The sound of my alarm has got me wishing I could call in sick
I can't do that, I need the money
And it's not so funny when the snooze goes off
so you're up at 6AM on a bus to work
to learn the art of wasting time
Fair's fair so I pay my fare
secretly hoping this bus takes me anywhere
but the place I'm meant to make ends meet today
It was a Tuesday morning when you stole my heart
and it beat to the sound of a brand new day
CHORUS
Rush hour crush on a bus
Is one simple look enough
to move my heart again and ego out the way?
VERSE 2
I didn't catch your name, but it's not like I was wondering
Maybe I'll quit - this job is such a bore
But being bored together we laughed until forever
and the chemistry was hard to ignore
Can't wait till Monday,
stuck on public transit yet I'm lonely with people all around me
It's the cold sick irony of love in the modern age
Looked back one last time as she walked away
CHORUS
Rush hour crush on a bus
Is one simple look enough
to move my heart again and ego out the way?
5. Chasing Chemicals
VERSE 1
I got dues
to the pills in my pocket and nothing to lose
I gotta choose
If you're down in the blues,
just call the doctor - there's a pill for that!
When you're mad, when you're sad, when you're glad
When you're chasing every chemical all over the map
CHORUS 1
If it wasn't for these chemicals
I'd swear I'm living in control
The pot smoke makes it hard to see
that steaming pile of shit you left for me
VERSE 2
Loose screws,
flying high with MacGyver on the back of a moose
aboard a loose caboose, I'm on the noose
and bound to lay something foul like I'm chasing Mother Goose
through the pen, the pen
So sharpen my machete
just to take its' head and pawn it for a penny
Come and sit court-side at a real life shit show
It's no secret - people bum me out
CHORUS 2
It's been way too long since I've felt the love I'm feeling
and when she takes my hand, the whole world falls away
Down here still caught up in my drugs, my doubts,
and if she's putting out
Sleepwalking to my grave, a noble like was more than I could take
BRIDGE
Maybe I'm a hurricane
Both the one they praise and the one they blame
but in the streets of Sodom, all the people know my name
'Cause it's one for all, and we're all the fucking same in this...
OUTRO
Pills for thrills in old Sin City
Oh what a pity that you came here
searching with a candle for a piece of my broken heart
They'll say we died from the pills but we were dead from the start
And if I miss my mark on history
let it burn in the sun at a hundred degrees
Kick off my slacks, roll up my sleeves
'cause I won't stop until this town is history
7. Albi
VERSE 1
Albi, you are the air I breathe
My heart belongs to you
You could drop me to my knees
Albi, you're with me in my dreams
In every waking thought
Every memory I'll keep
You're my, you're my, you're my...
PRE-CHORUS
You're my habibi Albi, my baby you'll be
Habibi Albi, my baby you'll be
CHORUS
I wanna hold you so tight
Girl you are the apple of my eye
I'm here to make it alright
Girl you are the apple of my eye
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?
I'm right here by your side
I wanna hold you so tight
Girl I'll never let you go
VERSE 2
Albi, you are the ocean breeze
You are the salt of the earth
I'll treat you like a queen
Albi, I'll suffer your disease
I'll keep you safe and warm
I'll be strong when you are weak
PRE-CHORUS
You're my habibi Albi, my baby you'll be
Habibi Albi, my baby you'll be
CHORUS
I wanna hold you so tight
Girl you are the apple of my eye
I'm here to make it alright
Girl you are the apple of my eye
Can you feel it, feel it, feel it?
I'm right here by your side
I wanna hold you so tight
Girl I'll never let you go
2. Yuuwii Choow!!
VERSE 1
Up alone in the still of the night
Yuuwii Choow on Youtube and I'm feeling alright now
I hit the kitchen, raid the fridge for some food
When I glanced at the stovetop, the time read 2:22
Much to my delight, I doubt this could get any weirder
I barely know her, right?
But she had my hands tied!
It kind of feels like I'm running out of time
CHORUS
So what the hell is a guy to do?
Yuuwii Choow!!
I can't get through to you!
Falling harder by the second, I need a paramedic
On second thought, it's just a headache
Just begging for some connection - it's true!
Law school? Aw, screw you!
Fuck me? Well I say fuck you too!
I'm a motherfucking headache I never learn my lesson
Raised to believe I was pathetic?
Get your head out the clouds...
VERSE 2
Jackpot!
Witches alive and well in this city...
You kind of have to give these girls
some credit for their Internet presence
Looks could kill if you let
Her melody meant something to me
A little something like 'oh, oh, oh oh oh oh'
Harley Quinn on Batman
Twins like these would break your knees
and leave you in the trash can
I'm like - 'oh yeah, that girl's mean'
A Prince of Darkness needs a Queen
So I reserved a special place in hell
For Yuwen me to kiss and tell
CHORUS
So what the hell is a guy to do?
Yuuwii Choow!!
I can't get through to you!
Falling harder by the second, I need a paramedic
On second thought, it's just a headache
Just begging for some connection - it's true!
Law school? Aw, screw you!
Fuck me? Well I say fuck you too!
I'm a motherfucking headache I never learn my lesson
Raised to believe I was pathetic?
Get your head out the clouds...
BRIDGE
God must be a sadist to judge how we live our lives
I must have been faded 'cause I don't recall my lines
God must be a statist to judge how we live our lives
I must have been faded 'cause I don't recall my lines
4. Parental Guidance
VERSE 1
Slow it down - no, life is not a race now
Time's ticking - do I crank it, do I pace myself?
Do or die, they'll call me any day now
It'll take more than a bump to throw in my towel
Gather 'round 'cause I've got a lot to say now
Is it hidden in the groove, how we work that crowd?
High as hell, don't come fucking up my day now
Let's get along
CHORUS
First of all, I'm thankful for you brother
but I scare myself - I sound just like my mother
"Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah"
VERSE 2
Slow it down - no, life is not a race now
Every note was sculpted from the space between the beats (woah-oh)
Misery loves company, the lows create the peaks
but when you're down, you're down so deep
CHORUS
First of all, I'm thankful for you brother
but I scare myself - I sound just like my mother
"Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah"
BRIDGE
Tear it down just to build it back up
Sometimes life gets a little bit rough
but hey - it's nothing new
I know that life's not complicated
I overcomplicate it
Life was simpler in the springtime
One big happy family
When I caught a chill on the tire swing
and it made me think back to chasing you
on the playground hoping you liked me too
CHORUS OUTRO
And now most of all, I'm thankful for you mother
but I scare myself, I sound just like my brother
And now first of all, I'm thankful for you brother
but I scare myself, I sound like like my mother
And now first of all, I'm thankful for you brother
but I scare myself, I sound like like my mother
"Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah blah blah"
6. Crazy By Design
VERSE 1
You're crazy by design
There you go again messing with my mind
Those eyes couldn't hide those lies
Talk all you want, but you can't deny my ass, my ass
That's right - you can kiss my ass
Let me know if we're moving to fast but
'till then, here's a song about my ass!
CHORUS
It's just a song about my ass
My ass, my ass, my ass...
So kiss my ass!
VERSE 2
You're crazy by design
Eye for an eye, we'd both go blind!
K, fine - just please stop crying
Everybody knows that I'm all about my ass, my ass...
Yeah right, does it look like a goldmine? No?
Well everything that shows ain't always fuckin' gold so
I shave my ass!
CHORUS
It's just a song about my ass
My ass, my ass, my ass...
So kiss my ass!
VERSE 3
I'm back and I can't slow down
Everybody knows when they hear that sound, it's time!
Girl, check my rhymes
Prose for the rows of the hoes in front of my cam
Do you have Instagram?
Do you follow my shit on Instagram?
As soon as you accept my friend request...
One hundred pictures of my ass!
CHORUS
It's just a song about my ass
My ass, my ass, my ass...
Yeah!
8. Due To Me
VERSE 1
Awake in a dream of the sort
that walks in and opens the door
to places inside us we'd like to ignore
It opens a window
a song planting seeds in my head
My room, my heart, my guitar, my bed
Three knocks on the door
should I let you in?
CHORUS
Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me?
Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me?
VERSE 2
Seasons come and go
but this household stays icy cold
Inside it snows, outside it's blistering
I would ask my dark side to set me free
but I do enjoy it's company
now that what I do, I do it wearily...
CHORUS
Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me?
Do you know what you're doing to me, what you're doing to me?
Braggadocious
VERSE 1
Stone cold, MINDSEED on a mission
I'm about to put the world in an uncomfortable position
I've been itching to give these midgets a taste of my position
All the limits you place on me don't exist in my existence
Man, I swear to God I'm winning
You see this life I'm living?
Getting bombed in the back of the Chevy just like everybody else
Then you throw a little bud in the mix
just to push me to my limits, to the truth of my existence
Might be looking big and juicy but I wasn't minute made, bitch
I've had to show up for the same shift at the same pay
on the same day working for the same grey
hair-brained motherfucker calling me on my day off
CHORUS
I'm braggadocious, baby
Don't mean to brag, it's just the spirit of hip-hop
I'm braggadocious, baby
Joe Cocker in the blender with Tupac
I'm braggadocious, baby
I see you moving like the sheep to a flock
with your head sized bigger than this whole damn rock
Now, shut up and check out my guitar solo, ok?
VERSE 2
Jack and Jill? I chased them up a little hill...
Took a little spill - just a drop in the bucket, so fuck it
When I was little, I wished I could bring my dick to show-and-tell
That'd be swell, bring a microscope
smaller than an isotope
What the hell's an isotope?
I don't know, but I know the name of
every Kartrashian under the sun
There can only be one true winner
and my plan is to be sitting there at dinner
with a bombshell wife and a rum on ice
It's everything I've wanted at a knockout price
It's pretty nice
My hair is slick, so you can trust my advice
Take a right, trust me, take a right
You'll end up alright - ok, goodbye!
Wrote my Grammy acceptance speech last night
like the plaque is hanging on the wall looking hella tight
OUTRO CHORUS
I'm braggadocious, baby
Don't mean to brag, it's just the spirit of hip-hop
I'm braggadocious, baby
Joe Cocker in the blender with Tupac
I'm braggadocious, baby
I see you moving like the sheep to a flock
with your head sized bigger than this whole damn rock
that you walk with your head up your ass
and your ass in my clutch
The Fountain
VERSE 1
Here I am making sound again
So why am I still afraid to put the words upon the page?
The more I think about it, the more that I want it
I love it when you talk that polygamist rubbish
Give me more of it, and a little less sugar
on the road to winning the race
CHORUS
But I was halfway up the mountain
when the sky called out to me
Running circles in the fountain
making vows to history
But I was halfway up the mountain
when the sky called out to me
Running circles in the fountain
with my oldest enemies
VERSE 2
In my waking life again
somehow I'm still amazed at the the dreams that we could chase
The more I think about it, the more that I want it
I love it when you talk that polygamist rubbish
Give me more of it, and a little less sugar
on the road to winning the race
CHORUS
But I was halfway up the mountain
when the sky called out to me
Running circles in the fountain
making vows to history
But I was halfway up the mountain
when the sky called out to me
Running circles in the fountain
with my oldest enemies
