lyrics
Thinking to myself, why the fuck would you cheat?
Cheaters never win the game, they just deceive,
And illusions aren’t what I’m after, I’m after truth,
Reality, make my life into a fantasy most can’t believe, (please)
(phew) Here I go, life like a yo-yo,
Sniff the yayo and go into Flashmode,
‘Lil yahoos came up drinkin’ Yoo-hoos, surfin’ Yahoo for boobs,
Only had a few true riders in my crew, back in ’02,
That’s when I first graced my face upon that angel,
Heaven sent her express, priority, I fell under her spell,
As she fell into my plate, eat her up on my table,
Gon’ wild since a young child, I’m on my eighth O,
Eight eighths make the circle complete, yaannnoo,
I put the circle at peace, hippies always around me,
Evil’s an old friend, but I’ve always known empathy,
Grown quickly ‘round a savage jungle where beasts wanna feast on me,
Always known anger,
Always known that sadness,
Always known that bad shit, drives ya batshit,
A captive in a mad land,
Stockholm syndrome,
Drone out the drama with drunken nights,
Doin’ deadly razor walkin’, regretin’ everything,
Need a better way to deal with everything,
Endless moons would pass and we did crazy ‘till depression smacked
Ya upside the head, I move like I know that I was born dead,
A step ahead, be-head the King and be heard by the masses,
Led ‘em through cyclones, came out a champion where there’s green grasses,
My team full of savages, they even fight amongst themselves,
Wolves and beasts fighting just to get a little piece, it’s hell,
Where I dwelled, wonder why I have to spell it all out?
Cause the only way I got through was spittin’ flows in this drought,
Static interrupts melodies that leave your mind fucked,
I couldn’t be blind and I had to learn how to trust,
I must persevere, it’s the only thing I know how to do,
Comin’ from the lands of Lucifer, happy was a learned mood,
Always known anger,
Always known that sadness,
Always known that bad shit, drives ya batshit,
I was a captive in a mad land,
