There you have it

Some break bad habits while I break beats
Some take caplets, while I take leaps
And bounds of sound, some tracks take weeks
Before the sound is found, I use them bounce techniques
Producing mounds of nouns, verbs, music freaks
you'll never see me checking twitter for tweets
That shit ain't for me, I'm a rap althelte
Vocals well trained, known for their physique
word has it, that a spasmatic verb addict
blasted acid rhymes in time with no static
Ya dicks gone flacid, less than half masted
Flabergasted, at the fact of how fast it
hit the net for I had to broadcast it
In High Def and then podcast- simulcasted
I rap it like Brad Pitt does it to act it
Its like magic getting live its most tragic
That when I hear whack spits, shit gets drastic
lyrics get graphic, no fucking theatrics
Best believe when I speak , I drop classics
Fanatic MCs tough turned to pop ---------
Fantastic when I battle, move like nomadic
They can't handle tactics I use systematic
ways paint a photogrpahic rhyme so dramatic
I'm live as it gets, thats it, there you have it

As Good As It Gets

I was feeling shitty inside last weekend, completely lost
Of direction seemed my life paths had become crossed
So I decided that it would be best to take a walk
And see if some fresh air could help gather my thoughts
I stepped down Connecticut ended at a small park
Walked toward a water fountain in the nightfall dark
Sat down on a bench and stared at waterfall art
Put my head down in playing my part.
A man sat down next to me and stared in silence
Coughing several times, leaned back and closed his eyelids
Took a deep breath, again he coughed with violence
Cleared his throat then looked at me and dropped the science
Son you look troubled, I can see it in your eyes
People don’t come out here this late without reason
I may not have a home but some people have called me wise
You look tough outside, but I know your heart is bleedin
Let me guess it’s a girl that brings you here
Or maybe its your job that’s got you down
I’ve seen it a thousand times, that it becomes clear
When a young person such as yourself can’t dodge a frown
I know what your going through kid
Seems like everyone hurts you or worse yet they all could be threats
You’re unsatisfied with your position in life
And ask yourself constantly what if this is as good as it gets?
He said:
The choice is yours kid what are you going do let this shit ruin and then take over your life?
As good as it gets, doesn’t have to be true for you, you need to take fucking control of your life.
The choice is yours kid what are you going do let this shit ruin and then take over your life?
As good as it gets, doesn’t have to be true for you, you need to take fucking control of your life.
I sat there looking at the man with nappy hair
His hoody wreaked of trash and his feet were bare
I couldn’t believe my ears to what he was saying
He summed up in one sentence all shit that was weighing
On my chest, it was like he could read my soul
I said, Man I’m broken looking to become whole
My love life sucks, and my job is a burden
If I could get one together, I wouldn’t be so hurtin
For a meaning to my life or to feel the joy
But before I could finish het cut me off saying “Boy
You think your life is that bad Try living with me
that shit you speak ain’t that sad open your eyes and see
I said ok if you think you’re so good at advice
Why the fuck are you at the position you’re in
His stare at me was as cold as ice
He said “Slim, I don’t know where to begin”
I was once like you, young and dumb
Taking shit for granted every day of the week
Got to the point where I became completely numb
Seemed like my life was a big bad luck streak
I never got beyond it and now am too old
To redeem the life that I once had
If I had only had a person like me, truth be told
I would have made a change so listen lad
You gotta stop moping around this place
Go talk to that girl that broke s your heart
Tell her that you don’t need her old ass anyway
Son This ain’t as good as it gets for you be smart
He said:
The choice is yours kid what are you going do let this shit ruin and then take over your life?
As good as it gets, doesn’t have to be true for you, you need to take fucking control of your life.
The choice is yours kid what are you going do let this shit ruin and then take over your life?
As good as it gets, doesn’t have to be true for you, you need to take fucking control of your life.
I sat for a minute with my new found friend
And thought all about what he said
My life was still beginning not at the end
And indeed I was much better off than dead
I thanked my new friend and bought him dinner
And told him that I would try his technique
Then I said goodbye to the homeless man
And told him that I’d see him next week
to tell him
The choice is yours old man what you going do let this shit ruin and then take over your life?
As good as it gets, doesn’t have to be true for you too, you need to take control of your life.
The choice is yours old man what are you going do let this shit ruin and then take over your life?
As good as it gets, doesn’t have to be true for you too, you need to take control of your life.

With this track, I wanna bring hip-hop back
When Bambaataa turned Minimum Wage into rap (boom bap)
Charlie Chase, Tony Tone, to AJ Scratch
‘fore Greedy cats made the hop movement whack
when it was about music and not the stacks
When MPC’s were used rather than Macs
The sound was raw, snares had the thwack
Kick Drums kicked and drums rolls brought it back
In Fact, I feel that was born 10 years too late
To fully appreciate, what all these people did
They challenged the norm, gave it to heads straight
think about it when they first rattled the needle kid
So thanks to originators that paved the way
Allowing us MC’s to do whatever we like
To speak our minds when we got something to say
You’re all the main reason that I excel with the mic
For those cats out there without a real sound station
To nod they head to, respect the foundation
Don’t jump on some chumps fake punk dry spit
Disc out and into the deck, then you bump my shit
Bob ya head raise your hands up, tapping your feat
Bang ya head on the wheel, leg slapping the beat
Punch your friend in the face, wait I was just kidding
this hop-hipping-hip-hop shits got my mind tripping
The game is stale today man I got to increase
The awareness to the movement I gotta unleash
All my passion, mashing tracks, banging out beats
If other rappers dats are fat, mine are obese
A wizard on the mic when I’m castin a spell
When I inhale to spit ill shit you always can tell
I got a desire for all elements, I might as well
Be married to this rap shit for which I excel

AA

Hi my name is Adam, (Hi Adam) and I’m an alcoholic
I’ve been sober for, well, I’m still drunk , from the night before
A half empty glass would be analygous and quite symbolic
Of how my life is now and how I’m trying to be more
It all started when I was 15, school dance with Eric
We thought It’d be more fun, by slugging some rum
The complexity of how I got hooked is esoteric
Simply put it began soon as the booze hit my toungue
We took 3 shots to begin and chased it back with some juice
We looked round for masking agents and found some gum
15 minutes later I started to feel real loose
And all the pains of being teenaged began going numb
We headed up to the dance quickly walked right in
Was feeling more confident then I had in my life
Found a girl the real party was about to begin
To cut the sexual tension between us you’d need a knife
Took her behind the bleachers, started kissing her neck
I’d been eyeing this girl for about 2 years
She asked if I had a rubber, I thought what the heck
she started kissing me and nibiling the lobes of my ears
Now I’ll spare you the details of what happened next
Fuck it, I was in heavy rounding third base
When a teacher came round the corner looking perplexed
I pulled my pants up and sprinted the fuck out of that place
Scratches about booze
I need AA
So now I’m 18, and I’m heading off to college
A place where binge drinking is finally accepted
Too hungover to make classes to gain the knowledge
It would seem that my goals in life were entirely misdirected
From what I remember, which at this point ain’t much
I spent most of my first year in an alchy daze
It seemed I becoming completely out of touch
With my goals and my life had become an alchy maze
By my third year, I was a functioning alcoholic
I could drink all day and night and still do well in class
Although everything to me had become melancholic
I need to learn the hard way falling flat on my ass
So one day I decided I would throw a party
Sent out a campus email inviting all my friends
Got wasted started hooking up with this Barbie
So what happened then, well it all depends
Some people say I was kissing her when it happened
Others will tell you that I was getting head
Either way one thing is clear, when I was tappin
I puked all up on her face while we were in the bed.
Got a job after college, I was sort of happy
To most around me, I seemed to be doing fine
But inside, I knew my life was sappy
My drinking problem was still always right on time
I’d meet a girl, some how I’d fuck it up
I say something bad or come on way too strong
was as if by 25 I was out of luck
I couldn’t quite place but I knew something was wrong
At 27 I attended, my first and last meeting
Was surrounded by losers with no self control
I mean I could tell they were weak right from the first greeting
When I saw myself, I felt like I had no soul
Was empty inside, apathetic, those around me
Didn’t know how bad it was or what to really think
Seemed like there were less and less friends to surround me
But I didn’t give a shit, I’d just sit back and drink
So hear I am today, speaking words of wisdom
Proving you can’t teach old dogs new tricks
So what if I’ve proven to be a failure of the system
I’m waiting for some tonic miracle to get fixed
I made a goal, I would try to stop drinking
I’d give myself a month, to try to keep on the wagon
3 weeks later, what the fuck was I thinking
How else am I suppose to drown out this girls naggin’
She sits across from me, yapping throughout our first date
I’ve dated some doozies, but god this chick was dumb
Waitress comes to take our order, I think it must have been fate
I ordered a salad, and then 5 shots of rum

Geanie (Feat Brenna C)
05:47
|

I took the train from Union Station to China town
Walked into the old corner antique shop
When it comes to wasting time there’s no finer clown
Than me when it comes to buying unique props
I saw this ill lamp and asked the owner for the cost
He said that it was too special and wasn’t for sale
Now I admit when I walked in I was a bit sauced
Threw a Benny at him grabbed the piece then bailed
Walked home put it on my table and stared at the piece
Shit was dusty as hell so I started to rub
The base of the lamp kept rubbing and I didn’t cease
Till the lamp started rocking and knew what time it was
Smoke started bellowing pouring out the top
And this chick appeared ina bikni damn she was hot
I jumped back from the couch, blunt fell outta my mouth
Looked around and wow this mist fell over my house
I was speechless, miss bikini blew up my speakers
Shredded my Mets hat, and melted my sneakers
ground started shaking, thought I had had stroke
Minutes passed like hours, head aching but soon she spoke
Master I’m here to grant you your every wish
Making all your dreams true is my specialty
I’m a Jeanie from the bottle, I’m not a witch
Master you must now choose your destiny
You have three choices to make, please take your time
Think about what you want especially
You must be very specific with every rhyme
In order for me to grant them successfully
first Jeanie make me a famous artist on earth
In fact make me rich and famous and mad diverse
I want Commericals for hot products like Red and Meth
And Better yet, make me a dope actor like mos def
She blinked (boing sound) suddenly walls were covered with plaques
Gold one’s Plat ones, on the floor there were stacks
Of fan letters and packs of old 10 inches on wax
And closets staked 8 feet high with Jordan throwbacks
I reached into my pocket pulled out a big wad of cash
I decided might as well hit up the bars to get smashed
As I opened my door I could taste the kamikaze
Just then I noticed in my yard all the paparrazi
Cameras were flashing, mics being shoved in my mouth
Guys come on leave me be I just want outta my house
For a minute or two but the harder I fought them
The more aggressive they acted and darker they got then
one dude sucker punched me seemed like it was just for kicks
Blood poured out my mouth paps just kept snapping pics
They kept surrounding me each one more trying to provoke
Me into another star meltdown or TMZ joke
I was overwhelmed, I couldn’t move, fell short of breath
Full Panic attack engrossed me, making me fear death
Jeanie can you hear me, I need to make a revision
Maybe being a superstar was a poor decision
Master its completely your choice as you wish
Making all your dreams true is my specialty
Sometimes making the right choice can be a bitch
Master you must now choose your destiny
You have two choices to make, please take your time
Think about what you want especially
You must be very specific with every rhyme
In order for me to grant them successfully
Ok, Jeanie, Fame really was not what I want
Surrounded by fools who exploit me and trying to taunt
So how about just making me as rich as Bill Gates
No fame, just independently wealthy thats all it takes
She blinked again, and I was in a castle of gold
Butlers and playmate maids, this’ll never get old
80in plasmas in every last room
Private chefs cooking my meals, I’m a tycoon
Yo Geeves grab the phone call up all of my peeps
Tell them I’m throwing a party it will go on for weeks
2 hours later, there was a knock at my front door
I went to answer it and was greated by peeps ain’t never seen before
Geeves who are these people that are filling my house
Dancing and drinking all my liquor, Geeves I want them out
He said Master Troy, these are your other rich friends
Lawyers, Doctors, agents, and that one well it depends
She’s been eyeing you, I think she’s a ball players wife
Soon to be divorced, Geeves that ain’t my type
Where are my old friends like Clay, phil ,Miles or Steve
Master I’m afraid your wealth became out of their league
They don’t come by too often I think they feel you have changed
I started getting real sad as my butler explained
This was not what I wanted yo Jeanie you there
I want my last wish now I’ll get it perfect I swear.
Master its completely your choice as you wish
Making all your dreams true is my specialty
Sometimes making the right choice can be a bitch
Master you must now choose your destiny
You have one more choice to make, please take your time
Think about what you want especially
You must be very specific with every rhyme
In order for me to grant them successfully
I want my life like it was before I met you
I want my house and girl back, my mind-set too
I was happy with the modest life, before I could asker
She said Very well, wish granted, goodbye master
And there I was, back on my old ass couch with a broken remote in my hand that you have to hold a a perfect angle to change the channel. And my girl bitching at me to water the plants and vacuum

I'm not a gangster and nor will I try to be,
At times I sigh, staring at the sky, crosseyed
I f I was fake you'dnt have to be blind to see
Not only be lying to you, why would I lie to me
Look Jack I'm more like Rap's John Cusack
I see the people in back like "hold up wait who's that?"
Ok, maybe John Cusak is a bit too whack, thanks
I'm more bank like Tom Hanks.... (Ooooo snap)
Well I guess I kind of look like Chuck from Castaway
But I spit more like Muhammad back when he was Cassius Clay
My granpaps taught me truth so "thats the way"
I spit real stats to ca ts thems just the facts ok?
I got into Rap when I was about 10
1990, I first heard Brand Nubian
I stole Grand Daddy I U's Smooth Assassin
And copped "Let The Rhythm Hit Em" Eric B and Rakim
I fell in love with hip-hop, I went back to my house
Started writing a rhyme book hid it inside of my couch
My moms wouldn't be wid it , man she would flip out
If she ever heard that shit coming outta my mouth
When Ic e Cube and De La died in '91
I nodded out to that shit everyday on the bus
Adam was Breaking Atoms, his Main Source of fun
Beatboxing while he organized his friends confusion
Kids were into Guns and Roses, I was into Funky Del
A full hip-hop Juinkie by the age of 12
The Chronic Bizzaree Ride II displayed on shelf
D orginal prophet fore ya played yaself
To come clean,was thirteen when I tried to be hood
A wanna be gangster, tried as much as I could
But I lived in a hick town, and then understood
you can't fake thug out in the sticks or the woods
93' I got real, rapped about shit in my life
breakups to makeups, relationships, girls and the like
Had the foresight to write quite advanced type spite
Christ even battled my mom dukes at least once or twice
Thats right, my productions always live up to hype
And my lyrics can snipe out any rappers that bite
Style, words, flows, quickly put haters on ice
I'm always pysched, on the mic, that why they say Absense is nice

Without Music(original)
04:45
|

I think back to the days, I was about 8
Bumping Disney tunes in car decks ,I couldn’t wait
For the next score to drop from Buddy Baker
I heard Peter Paul and Mary, and I never felt safer
Puff the magic dragon, but If I had a Hammer
I’d bang out the beats turn the songs into a clamour
I mean I couldn’t fall asleep without Ernie and Bert
Singing to me while big bird was putting in work
Singing the most innocent songs, taught me a lesson
Without this basis my lyrics would have no progression
Seriously, music is my biggest obsession
Its one of the purest forms of human expression
Musicians poor their hearts into it, and I’m just like
Issac Hayes or Herbie Handcock, or Tina and Ike
I bought the soundtracks to cartoons bumped in my deck
Simple times as a child, the tracks would reflect
The fun times I had , no desire to fret
About girl problems or gaining respect
I’d sing along with the lyrics or make up my own
Blasting the tracks whenever my parents weren’t home
I’d dance around to the beats, laid from fraggle rock
Even bob my head to theme songs like Alfred Hitchcock
Without music, I would be lost, always pissed
I’m telling you Adam Troy would ceise to exist
Without funk and James brown, I’d never groove
Without classical tunes, My pains would never be soothed
Without out Jazz from Miles Davis I’d never get Blues
Without Folk guitar plucks, I’d never to move
Without Soul and Motown I couldn’t stand
Without rock and roll, my eyes could never expand
Without hip-hop, my entire life would be dammed
Without music, I’d be a fucking shell of a man
When I was teenaged, I was full of emotion
Music kept me balanced, it was a magical potion
I remember the days when my heart would get broken
I’d go home and blast 80’s tracks, no I’m not jokin
I had a wide variety of tapes in my collection
From Billie Joel’s Storm Front to Cube’s Lethal Injection
ranged from Pearl Jam to P-funk a full box Selection
Of James Brown’s Star Time to Pac’s Ressurection
the tears would stream down as I looked for direction
Wilson Philips Hold on helped me over rejection
Even Erik Sermon’s Safe Sex taught me protection
At the same time as Marvin Gaye taught me affection
Mariah Carey amazed me with her vocal inflection
While her VH1 videos gave me erections
While my hormones raged, I could see my reflection
always with music least from my recollection
Without funk and James brown, I’d never groove
Without classical tunes, My pains would never be soothed
Without out Jazz from Miles Davis I’d never get Blues
Without Folk guitar plucks, I’d never to move
Without Soul and Motown I couldn’t stand
Without rock and roll, my eyes could never expand
Without hip-hop, my entire life would be dammed
Without music, I’d be a fucking shell of a man
So now here I stand, a full grown man
producing tracks to get this shit all off of my chest
If I’m angry, sad or thrilled, it quickly expands
As my own world, and I say fuck all the rest
I mean think about it, I would really have gone blind
In depression, Beth died, but I passed the test
I sat down and wrote the song she left me behind
I cried for the chorus, but it got out the stress
And think When I had a crush on that girl
I was too scared to tell her, so I laid down a beat
Wrote a track about how with everything in this World
She still could be the best thing to ever happen to me
That’s why I try to write songs about my life
And hopefully they can even mean something to you
So when times get tough and you’re filled with strife
I can represent emotions you feel on cue.
So it doesn’t matter whether you’re an artist
Or if you have no talent and you’re just a fan
But if your like me, you’d easily see
That without music, You’d also be a shell of a man.

Rotten

I feel Rotten, sitting at my desk with my pencil jottin
Lyrics to express the feelings not to be forgotten
You know how its is, the pains the sores
They pile on because when it rains it pours
Relations closed doors, at work you’ve waged wars
And you look around to point blame, but the blame is yours
You tried to get ahead of the game, what a shame
All those extra hours and still no one knows ya name
Standing in the rain, handing out Demos at shows
They use them as coasters, that’s just the way that it goes
You spend your weekends fine tuning your flows
Trying to Work alliteration into your prose
I suppose, that’s one way to go, the path I chose
Closes down a dark road, no idea where it goes
Sometimes life blows, like gods against you plotten
For your demise, life’s lows are fuckin rotten
You’ve the good guy route, and seen what its all about
Nice guys never finish first, but you sit at home and pout
You liked this girl, and she liked you too
But her current relationship was always her issue
She was scared to break it off, while you waited and waited
Her feelings faded, instated stagnated feelings being castrated
Your boys berated your fixated and frustrated
situation located in life as you try to evade it
Heart’s gyrated in some sort of stalemated, ill-fated
Love life, sensated like your whole souls been negated
Hearts been infiltrated, berated, and checkmated
Leaving you confused as to how life got so complicated
played it back in your head, you hate it, get wasted
feeling more sedated with each beer, grief stripping you naked
You traded self respect for love, tasted nothing but hatred
your view of girls now deviated from the norm , and leaves ya life jaded
Family life hasn’t gone the way you hoped that it could
Wife might be cheating on you, effecting your livelihood
Kids are failing classes more than they pass them
You think if they won’t listen, you need to kick they ass then
Ever since graduation, you’ve got this stagnation
Wife succumbs to temptation and your stuck on probation
You’re a middle class caucasion with no steady vocation
Agitation peaks so You look to god for your salvation
You find comfort in a bottle elation through hyrdration
Of rum, vodka, coke you life becomes a mutation
Of your worst dreams gone through some ill transformation
Your obligation to keep it together lead you to recreational
Drugs use then to needle exploration
With lady H, as your family’s lost in damnation
The equartion solution you look for leads to alienation
From your friends, family, and a rotten revelation

She's Got a Boyfriend
06:09
|
|||
They say the best things comes to those who wait
Sometimes those who wait, make mistakes
Take this love interest I had take shape
And how hard some decisions can be to make
I met this girl one day increased my heart rate
I mean she had me from my goodness to goodness sake
I couldn’t stand it, I was lost in her wake
It wouldn’t take much more for my heart to break
As I learned more about her, it became clear
She had a man in her life it was my worst fear
I felt defeated filled with this deepseeded
Self Loathing, It was painful, my love depleted
So I made a decision, keep it on the friend tip
And perhaps try and build some sort of friendship
We started hanging out more, started to explore
What we had in common, she opened the door
One night when she told me about her doubts
She had with her man, they were on the outs
So here’s where my dilemma got really thick
So tore up inside it made me sick
Now, I really liked this chick, but didn’t want to be
A reason for her break-up, to set her free
If this was to be, I wanted her to see
On her own, that she’s done with him and wanted me
In order for me to do exactly that
I needed patience, for which I lack
I mean everytime I look into those brown eyes
My knees buckle, its like her stare can paralyze
The sound of her voice only magnifies
The dizzy spell overcoming sending me slantwise
So the question is where does it all end
When the girl of my dreams has a boyfriend
She got a boyfriend, and I really can’t do anything about it
She got a boyfriend, the girl of my dreams I don’t doubt it
She got a boyfriend, Lord why must I be so tested
She got a boyfriend, I know its bad, but I’m still interested
She got a boyfriend, and I really can’t do anything about it
She got a boyfriend, the girl of my dreams I don’t doubt it
She got a boyfriend, Lord why must I be so tested
She got a boyfriend, I know its wrong, but I’m still interested
So now here I am, trying to do whats right
The situation and the girl on my mind all night
My mind races, displacing me from my sleep
Empty spaces to fill, chasing her as I creep
Well creep, that’s how I sometimes feel
Going after a taken woman, hoping that she’ll
Break it off in the morning, night after we chill
Till 2 in the morning, this shits surreal
I’m telling you I have standards that I hold to
Trying to be free but at the same controlled too
I mean I think of how I would react
To a guy standing near my girl, trying dettract
Her attention away from me from behind my back
I mean that dude would be asking for more than a bitch smack
He’d get a beatdown, I feel beat, this sit that I’m in
Got me feeling like well……where to begin?
(Uh I mean) On one hand, I feel like this is just fate
On the other hand, I feel this is a mistake
I mean its one of the top ten commandments right?
10, Thou shall not covet another man wife
That’s laid out pretty clear, my intentions are wrong
And past 2 weeks, sexual tensions are strong
Part of me thinks I need to just go along
With the flow, the other part wants to play her this song
And just tell her exactly how I feel
Sometimes its best to just get real
I drink myself to sleep every night
To get my mind off of the girl, this shit’s not right
Tequilla clears my mind, Jameson helps me rest
And All of my peeps think they seem to know what’s best
They keep telling me that I need to make this all end
Because the girl that I want to be with, has a boyfriend
She got a boyfriend, and I really can’t do anything about it
She got a boyfriend, the girl of my dreams I don’t doubt it
She got a boyfriend, Lord why must I be so tested
She got a boyfriend, I know its bad, but I’m still interested
She got a boyfriend, and I really can’t do anything about it
She got a boyfriend, the girl of my dreams I don’t doubt it
She got a boyfriend, Lord why must I be so tested
She got a boyfriend, I know its wrong, but I’m still interested
She went on a trip for 2 weeks, it gave me a chance
To try and clear my mind, figure out my plans
We stayed in touch and every contact that was sent
Made me want to commit sin then worry about repent
I’m only human, this seemed to be fate sending
Everything I hoped for in a storybook ending
I can’t deny my life so far has been rough
2 cheated on me, one girlfriend dead I had enough
Of playing the games and the thrill of the chase
All I wanted was the true love I could embrace
And Settle down with and take on the world together
I was always stuck on the hunt of finding forever
Everlasting, man maybe I’m blinded
This might not be real, damn am I narrowminded
I could be making this all up, inside my head
Maybe all this girl really wants from me is a friend
I can’t tell, I read into every word
What did she mean by that sentence, this shit is absurd
I’m making myself crazy wondering why
I’m stuck with this girl always on my mind
wouldn’t you know, I got overzealous
I Came on too strong, I acted too jealous
Now the girls got all the power, knows all my plays
Stopped corresponding, haven’t spoken in days
So I guess that’s where I stand now, with no chance
To try and redeem myself, attempt to advance
But if perchance you see her, you can recant
How much I regret my actions and maybe implant
The thought that I’m a good guy just made a mistake
And sing her these lyrics, so she can intake
The fact that I really didn’t plan or intend
To go after the girl, with a boyfriend.
She got a boyfriend, and I really can’t do anything about it
She got a boyfriend, the girl of my dreams I don’t doubt it
She got a boyfriend, Lord why must I be so tested
She got a boyfriend, I know its bad, but I’m still interested
She got a boyfriend, and I really can’t do anything about it
She got a boyfriend, the girl of my dreams I don’t doubt it
She got a boyfriend, Lord why must I be so tested
She got a boyfriend, I know its wrong, but I’m still interested

In a dorm room, an insomniac with a bottle
Life is awful, can’t sleep with anything lawful
Tylonol PM and unisom have betrayed me,
last cat I battled fuck he slayed me
All I want is to wander off into a dream state
Or get so drunk I can’t see straight
Instead I take 2 shots and 2 white pills
20 minutes later fighting sleep off, it feels…
It feels like……fuck, it feels like I’m so there, ……oh shit
The high starts off now gradually making me feel slow
Casually walking round how is this real whoa
I lost my footing braced myself on my bed
Trying to gather myself, spinning inside my head
Arms feeling heavy now kinda like they were dead
And my mouth tastes metallic is it filled with lead
I said man everything things swaying like the ocean
My picture seem to move in a circular motion
What was I saying? confusion comes and goes
The illusion of being at peace asside my flows
I suppose I maybe should write down my thoughts
If I forget my ideas then least I have jots
To read. shit when did my room change
Jumping round like low gravity on the moon strange
Am I still inside my room or outside in the quad
I hear a whisper from the corner who is that? god?
God? You got my back? For real? Tell it to me…..
I start seeing blue and gray paths streaking and tweaking my vision
You think I’m losing it, but hold up and listen
I think I may have figured out the meaning to earth
We are predestined to become what we are from birth
Self worth is faded pattern, etched around souls
Of people too pussy to accept glamourless (their) roles
The meaning of life to is help those striken with less
And show them that this shit life ain’t as good as it gets
Hold up wait, God your message ain’t the same
As the last time I tripped out, when you first lit the flame
Telling me life was all about sex
Or when you told me life was money, yo what next?
You going to attest to the fact that the bible's text
rivals hamaorabi and my savior's funkmaster flex
aliens run our lives deep inside their minds like games of chess
we're not even real its like some matrix type shit.......

Daily Grind (Remix)

Every Day Starts the same, 8 o'clock I arrise
wipe my eyes, getting ready for work preppin my demise
put on my black slack, sift through my ties
Jump out the door to the train for the job I despise
Jump on the packed train surrounded by tools
Dressed in suits, readin the paper, I hate these fools
For the length of my commute I try to dodge spilled coffee
and peoples stray elbows, BITCH GET OFF ME
There's a train right behind us, no need to pack
And who forgot their right guard this morning, this shit is whack
Religion is irrelevent, your stench is lit
I'm sure your worship don't ask you to smell like shit
I sit or stand there, watching the stations pass
(Doors Opening) thank christ! My stop at last
Never fails, the seond my feet hit concrete
Assholes hand me flyers, now my commute is complete
Sorry man, thats messed up but I gots no time
5 blocks to the office, DAMN! its almost 9!
Walk up to the office door, fakely greet security
Adam Troy, Business Man, Bitch, you heard of me?
The Daily Grind, plaging your mind, your in a bind
Days are like Dejavu, your life's confined
alligned with corporate life, no matter what's assigned
your guarenteed to start every morning 2 days behind
Try to balance a social life, your job's designed
To take up every waking hour, your healths declined!
Your idea of having life needs to be refined
Sress peaks you lose sleep, the Daily Grind
Fire up the PC, 60 email messages
16 voice mails. All forms of doomed presages
That the day will suck more life out of mine
Need to prepare this presentation, SHIT! I'm out of time
Sprint to the Conference room, meeting one of six
where idiots sit pondering the story my graph depicts
The don't like the facts so of course my hard work sucks!
4th time this week, I'm about to go berzerk, nuts
Instead I calming take their "constructive feedback"
Dreaming about Rum and a seductive weedsack
That will help me forget I'm just a slave
Working for these post-premadonnas cradle to the grave
Have you ever noticed ties, white and blue shirts
They can't take the bad news, sorry the truth hurts
Competition's crushing, our revenues are hit
Those stock options you hold, they ain't gonna be worth shit
Luckily me vested interest is zero
This work horse you shit on, is now the hero
CEO's are fired, employees screwed remain
Its my life at the low end of the food chain
The Daily Grind, plaging your mind, your in a bind
Days are like Dejavu, your life's confined
alligned with corporate life, no matter what's assigned
your guarenteed to start every morning 2 days behind
Try to balance a social life, your job's designed
To take up every waking hour, your healths declined!
Your idea of having life needs to be refined
Sress peaks you lose sleep, the Daily Grind
