lyrics

I.B.:She dies the roach, blifted from the Mary ops/ vampire pimp, relic til the pedal stops. She’s a dreamer, a killer never hesitates/ a fallacy is written if you let em wait/ so she’s plays it straight. Appetite and all/ she falls victim to the pillars broke to kill us off. embedded in her nature, the palace meets the queen/ she looks to see who catch it but everybody sleep. See I could read between the lines and see the finest of things/ every piece of a puzzle to harness every lie/ talks cheap but her game is very rare come by. scopes me and tells me I’m the only one that didn’t try. pardon me, I’m gifted. she said what makes you different/ you the devil in the flesh and I’m the only one gets it. why. Opposites attract. exactly, reason why she’s locked in. she tells me I’m stress, baby let me clock in/.Whoa.

W.J.T.G.:I can’t move. Caught in this sand dune. Trap cocoon; Moonlight by the lake. Consumed by the fumes of fate. no faith in the delivery of Karma. Walkin’ naked into the storm. No armor can protect a neck from a boomerang Guillotine. You were once my dream. Somehow, I slipped into yours. In a fit of frustration, hammering holes inside of dresser drawers. Back to the drawing board. Starring at the shadows on the ceiling. I really hated making you cry. I really hated hearing ghosts floating around the room. Last time I smelled the linen. Its fucked up how easy it is for me to play pretend. Spirits circling the shadows while fire flickers cylinder pillars,casting light on our loneliness. The ceiling fan blows dust. It’s funny. I almost escaped.
G7: I never wanted you but it was convenient to have you. My ego was the rhythm your vicious jab would stab to. You shattered my confidence, my dick shattered your snatch. Drive the hatch in your back now it’s hard to detatch. But I can’t go on faking a feel for what is emotionless. I would talk with you endless, now I suck your breasts ‘cus I have to. Change is what the wind of the ceiling fan blew. Circulating imaginations of tomorrow without you. Without oppression and dark clouds confusing the sun. That hangs over me diluting the gunshots of my drum. My art’s a carousel I rotate round alone. But you beg to be on my records, impose on my microphone. And my heart was benevolent. Sustaining your malevolent. Wish to break it with bricks with the disses you’d spit. Because of you I still remove thorns from my brown power. Your name was Robert Meyers, the Trini hater of Africa

M.E.: She “S” shaped in the middle of bed. Her legs still shaking from last night’s head. Staring out the window hypnotized by the ocean view. Interrupted by memories of what I used to be going through. From elbow ashes to bus passes. To getting rich off of writing classics. Taking pictures in expensive glasses. No more cash I just carry plastic. Getting ass and enjoy the laughter. Am I a slave or a slave master. My image the check that I chase after. Claim to be free is like pookie free basin lost in a city jacked. N.A. is rap so I’m still trying to figga why niggas is trying to play with that. The microphone is the stage for my testimony. When you rich why you feel lonely. When you in da spot wit ya homies. Everybody actin like they know me. Is this life mine. If the sane and insane were to switch places would you cover up or stay naked? Be complex or stay basic? No matter how you display it, it all feels like time wasted. If the sane and insane were to switch places would you cover up or stay naked? Be complex or stay basic? No matter how you display it, it all feels like time wasted.
