lyrics

verse 1:
critics said this was a trash can masterpiece
with disaster speech my pen'll be the last to cease
atleast overpopulation has decreased
since suicide's the only conclusion we could reach
please don't preach cause i don't believe in confession
my first impression comes from an akword direction
perception of my objection stands between lines
it's the same shit happening a thousand times
but still i try and remain ill at ease
please cure me of all the pain and the disease
the slightest breeze could carry me away
with demons poking at me they'll bury me anyway
not in a friendly way even though they're wearing smiles
with shovels carrying piles while tearing me through miles
it's not just a song it's things that i should say
watch the rope sway, hope and pray, that i can cope with the day
i stay in check through my notepad, this throw back
and i know that i need some light if i want my head to grow back
i need a camera to film the sky before it goes black
and i need some action so tell me where the hoes at
ready to roll film to entertain the crowds
but like the family circus, my thoughts are in the clouds

chorus:
and with all that said & done go ahead and cue the music
see the play button but dont know how to use it
look around, this ain't the place to be
only yellow tape and the blood of an enemy
he was acting unfriendly tried to offend me

verse 2:
cause i didnt do shit,so i get no credit
wrote it never said it cause i knew i wouldn't regret it
it's so easy to see when it's all right there
and i'll keep it that way just to keep things fair
go ahead and talk shit but I hope you read the program
i'll rap for food if i have to cause i bow down to no man
even if it was the end theres no way that i could sell out
tell major labels eat a dick and get the hell out
i dont need russel simmons to make me a def jam
pickin it up where it started and i feel like i'm the best man
i'm less than perfect but i thinks it worth it
to dig for an answer whether or not i should unearth it
i'm startin to breathe heavy so i try and stand still
another body decapitated heading for the landfill
explosion of a crash site where angels slowly burn
looking back i realized the point of no return
i stepped to side and waited for my cue
as much as hate it, i'm one of the priveleged few

verse 3:
cause i paint pictures even though my colors blind
my pen is red blue or black and not no other kind
some other time i might switch but it wont be soon
until i finally find a way to rap through a cartoon
and i wont handle barbara but i had to warn her brother
that the cartoon network was gang bangin her mother
and to keep the picture in frame i add a little tilt
colors ran, the paint spilt, all down the house that i have built
sit back down or else i'll have to use a rhyme
you cant fight a crime unless your rap's as tight as mine
at the speed of light, still in the range of my sight
like a star hoping for that miracle tonight
only living life as an idea for me to write on
fuck the pop culture cause i'm a writer not an icon
explode like a pipe bomb laced with cyanide
smoking cigarettes in a race to try and die
fight the lie with only broken sticks and stones
then comply to a being made with lonely open brick and bricks
and this time spent here, for now it's just a memory
i gotta go, cause no one will remember me

chorus: x2
and with all that gone and out of the way
open your eyes for the minute replay
but grab your shit cause the shows almost over
thank god, cause i'm tired of bein sober
