1.Cracks in the Surface
The water level's rising, the water level's rising
Everyone alive sing：Who will turn the tide？
Bring about land grabs sand bags bring 'em out
It's hard to yell with the Atlantic in your mouth.
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick
tick,
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick
tick.
One becomes two becomes three becomes four
Our sound waves run your city like parkour
Provokin' encores but we know you want more
That's what we're doing this for.
Four becomes three becomes two becomes one
The metamorphosis cannot be undone
We burst forth from the land toward the sun
And transform, the advance has begun.
Like Mary J I'm obliged to hollerate and prophesy
Nostradamus on the topics often dropped on open mics
When both sides are vocalized the crowd spits the dopest lines
Efforts gain significance like overdrives of dopamine.
These narcissists forget to do their exercise,
confused by what success implies
Name drop successive tries in drive thrus to get extra fries
Emancipating free speech when I run my mouth terminal
cancer patients say 'Hey when's the C.D. coming out？'
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick
tick,
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick
tick.
Rhyming enigma I keep 'em guessing
My rhymes are like ribbons when I wrap the present
Recapture lessons, the ancestors prefaced
In deference to how we break it down to the essence
'Cause there're cracks in the surface, nobody wants to see 'em
Strategic war games don't call 'em human beings
They call 'em like they want 'em for a prop in their battle rap
But Solomon and Math will dap after play the track backwards
Because there's too much death energy
Let it be a muse sing to your best enemy
Never let it be your task master,
let's finish things alive with oppression and disaster
diminishing.
One becomes two becomes three becomes four
Our sound waves run your city like parkour
Provokin' encores but we know you want more
That's what we're doing this for.
Four becomes three becomes two becomes one
The metamorphosis cannot be undone
We burst forth from the land toward the sun
And transform, the advance has begun.
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick
tick,
Cracks in the surface, cracks in the surface, tick tick tick
tick.
Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
Break, them, down. Break, them, down. Break, them down...
2.The Effect
It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S
What did you expect？
You wanted us to move you right to left
Live and direct
It's like
1, 2, 3, 4
Butterfly wing flap, whole thing change
One look, two different books, same page
Front on the range but the beat's contage
Stuck to your feet for 3, 4 days
It's real, too real like film projectors
Bend the letters to find the nectar
It is effective, it will protect ya
From them specters, don't let 'em get ya
How did they escape the rat race？
How'd he make that sound with that bass？
The roof is ablaze so break the glass case
Song so big, affect the tax base
Don't drink the potion, split the ocean
Holy Moses, Pharaoh's forces
Let my people go with purpose
Turn the tide with forward motion
How does it feel to un-glue？
Where do you think we've come to？
What does it take to follow through？
Who is it making you move？
Heavens to Murgatroyd
The situation's purgatory
Brer Rabbit stories, burn categories
The allegory is Adam's story
On the eve of something glorious
Us against them won't bust the system
But trust the pistons, the engine's mis-spent
Our thrust is intense, combustive intent
Boom Jonny 5 better yet Juan Cinco
Rhetoric rep for my Colorado lingo
Whatever preterit's wet by my ink flow
Is spelled out B4
Get it？, because I never get outwitted
Bold-faced type, all capped like a fitted
We'll make you move even if you're arthritic
Something you thought I wouldn't do, I did it
How does it feel to un-glue？
Where do you think we've come to？
What does it take to follow through？
Who is it making you move？
It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S
What did you, what did, did you expect？
You wanted us to move you, move you right to left
Live and direct, you ride the effect
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It's a quilombo with Kenny O on the drum roll
We rocket like Dikembe Mutombo
Djembe to bongo to MPC
We unload and win MVP
So let's be old fashioned, put the beat on blast
And leave a lil' something like a geocache
And if anybody wanna smurf with me
We can take this to the nursery
Like hickory dickory, rhyme so slippery
This emcee, that emcee, wish they could switch currencies
Like a battery, disbelieve flattery
Realistically, it can just be a smattering
To sit and watch the needle peak with Mario C
Reppin' CO and 303
(Speak up, girl)
Even if it's what's they're against
Do the Helen Keller and confront male arrogance
How does it feel to un-glue？
Where do you think we've come to？
What does it take to follow through？
Who is it making you move？
It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S
What did you, what did, did you expect？
You wanted us to move you, move you right to left
Live and direct, you ride the effect
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La
It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S
What did you, what did, did you expect？
You wanted us to move you, move you right to left
Live and direct, you ride the effect
3.Defend Atlantis
That was as far as the tide came in
I remember the starfish and the wails of the sirens then
We replaced the tridents, embraced Poseidon
Discovered ourselves living on an island
We flow like water 'cross the lost city
Chalk prophecies and washed off graffiti
In continents, trade off for payoff
And high concepts then lost to K-Os
Many tales radiate from one nexus
Defending a dream of a new directive
A call from the deep sums up a notion
The day when the people bum-rushed the ocean
From the beaches they
Ran to meet the day after
Underneath, the waves
Won't repeat the same chapter
Knew what they had to do
That which creates life
Has power to take it right back
Fucking with the icecaps
We gotta push the tide back
We can survive, collapse if we don't get sidetracked
If we visualize living underwater hidden by prisms
Countries fall but people transition
If one for all, we live in that vision
Hundred dollar bill Origami
Balloon inflation, new world economy
We float on tsunami to global warming
We need structures to control what's coming
Corporate monopolies obsolete
The philosophy leaves us lost at sea
But from Marwar to Cochabamba
We are the warriors that won't get conquered
'Cause rising tides drown all villages
Divided fighters succumb to pillage
Rescuers whatever your latitude
It's time to pioneer a new world attitude
Put local cycles first we're Global
Islanders with nothing left to plunder
From the beaches they
Ran to meet the day after
Underneath, the waves
Won't repeat the same chapter
Knew what they had to do
For centuries
Human beings have pursued the meaning of Atlantis
Central to their teaching is that it's existence
Answers man's essential questions
Much like the feeding of the five thousand
Even if the facts aren't accurate, the story's magic is alive
Of utmost importance to convert the impertinent
Atlantis holds the answer to man's ills at their most pertinent
Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer
The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel
Is this all that you hold for a warrior's role？
The ground shakes, you claim my country, not my soul
I fought, I toiled for the lost in the waves
And I will not tire, I'll die no slave
If the sea's my grave
I sleep with my city, my people, my oath, my shame, my city
Is that I cannot save my city from the waves that claim you
And curse the Gods who can't explain who to blame
At the end of the reign, heed me
The season passes Atlas, his keep's in the sediment
Failing monumentally and leaving no monuments to see
Only sea to shining sea
And survival hinged on the ascent by the humble
And the sirens wailed as the empire crumbled
With nothing to plunder, corporations drowned
Waves clapped like thunder and stormed the gates with sound
Forming a new nation now
As the icecaps melted water levels rose
We raised our hands together and made the levees hold
Heels in the sand, we revealed the depths below
The population of starfish exploded from the ocean
Survival, we unified to focus on
And the voices were many but we spoke as one
As the tale was retold, we multiplied
And swelled across the fault lines to halt the tide
We let the altars die to keep our pulse alive
And from the barren wastelands of naked trash
We stitched together, a shelter from fallen nation's flags
And chose to build a future from an ancient past
The crowns of thorns was worn, we put the Tritons down
We found new forms of anchors deep inside the ground
The world is an island now
4.If I
If I hadn't been a quiet introspective kid
If I hadn't been a nerd, wouldn't have met with him
If we hadn't observed we'd be the best of friends
That preferred the spoken word to the toke and binge
If momma hadn't died when I was young
Would me and sis been so tight from jump？
If dad hadn't lost his mind to a disease
Would I be up here askin' ya'll to notice me？
In the dark times, didn't know where the path went
I was close to the edge like Grand Master Flash said
It was hands of my friends that held me back
Yes, without them I'd MJ keep slidin' backwards
Or be a hypocrite like some others have been
If that and the other hadn't happened
Don't know that I'd ever been Brer Rabbit
Askin' how many if's between hero and has-been？
If I, if I, if I had only known
That I would be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I know
If I, if I, if I had only known
I know, I bet it only makes me stronger
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, know, know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, know, know
If I hadn't grown up in the 80's
Experiencing the various things that made me
Would I still be standing center stage
Trying to innovate new ways to demonstrate？
If mommy-daddy hadn't turned off Mork and Mindy
To inform us divorce was pending
Would him and me have spent these 23 years in a frenzy
Moving back and forth with such forceful energy？
I remember when I was a little baby
Lying there alone on my pillow casing
Upset already I could feel the aging
The urge to return was debilitating
And maybe I'm still afraid and need to
Cry a little harder for the world of play things
Stop looking back on these silly day dreams
Sing along with me if you feel the same way
If I, if I, if I had only known
That I would be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I know
If I, if I, if I had only known
I know, I bet it only makes me stronger
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, know, know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, know, know
If I had known what awaited was unplanned
If I had known the blade was in a loved one's hand
If I had known of the possible injury
If I had known the altar was meant for me
But now I know nobody can predict events
And now I know there's cracks in the picket fence
Now I know that something else exists
And now I know a life can be built from this
If I had known emotions would still remain
If I had known that time wouldn't heal the pain
If I had known the intent of the injury
If I had known the altar wasn't meant for me
Now I know there's treasure hidden in these scars
Now I know there's presence in an empty yard
Now I know what it took for me to survive
But now I know where to go to become alive
If I, if I, if I had only known
That I would be a lamb to the slaughter
Now I know
If I, if I, if I had only known
I know, I bet it only makes me stronger
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, know, know
Now I know, now I know
Now I know, know, know
5.White Flag Warrior
We request to negotiate
We come to you unarmed
We desire to communicate
You cannot do us harm
For one sacrifice,
they have schemes and ask me to follow their path to the
afterlife
I've got an appetite
for nice things and the dreams that my enemies could be blasted
by
Ooh metaphors
Views that are better for you can't survive or find your
competitor
Rise together
Ooh Fight separate wars i pray I'm never forced to be a predator
Suspecting we won't last
They're glad to hate but gladiators breed their last
Scream or mash for their dreams do clash
Like swords in the war let me bleed on that
Put the heat on that
Cept we need strong backs
You call us weak and don't redeem contracts
Well this speech won't last
If the beast attacks
The sons and the fathers will be free at last
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
They see sharks in the estuary
They claim the arch of Bartholomew's
They say war is necessary
But we say war is child abuse
We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)
Take to the core they're the one's we've been waiting for
We hold steady, steady on the step of door
The type of you are matadors and matadors are capable
Forgive the death and settle scores and test the metal and the
ore
What's your plan go to do with me？
If the bell told us let freedom ring
And find the new ways that we must be king
Instead of leading the young to our suffering
The past test of this
Now screams back in heaven
For testing us like wednesdays at 11
Want to recruit and train us to act evilly
Save it for the shooting range
So back DVD
Just tell me want no more this millennia
It's never again for me or anyone
So think harder when you refer to us
Rather make our children martyrs than murders
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
They shell dwellings to quell the shellings
And lift taboos and seduce the countings
They say we're too yellow bellied
But we say we're the new superpower
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)
We seek ways to not be liable
We claim to speak for a higher truth
We stand opposed to the homicidal
We tell you you are fire proof
We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
White Flag
Warriors
We'd rather make our children
We'd rather make our children
Do what you want to our courage
Ask us what you will
Demand from us a sacrifice
But do not make us kill
6.By the Time You Get This Message...
By the time you get this message
I will be behind the wheel
Watchin' dotted yellow hexagrams
Stretch into the dark
Left hand surfin' on iced tinged winds
Chewin' up a cardboard box
Singin' at lung top, one stop
Left 'til I meet you in the concourse
St. Louie, encore, do we have a shot？
Caught, no dwellin' on the thought
What the hell we haven't got
So I'm headed from the dot to the spot
Where your plane touches down
For a six hour layover
Don't say a word, I found it on the map
Calculated it just a half a day to get from
Where you're not to where you will be
My hair is filthy, I'm drinkin' coffee
I can barely feel the trace
From the only time you kissed me on the face
Question mark, space
I know you're with me underneath the star-scape
Treadmill, pick up our pace
Head-start on a jet in a car chase
Is this the part where my heart breaks？
One asleep, one awake, back to back
'Cause you wouldn't turn towards me
Had me battlin' fractals, keeping track of all the chords
We created sound clash of swords back and forth
Couldn't poke through the sash
Slash through the plasterboard
You packing your passport, me on a crash course
To show you that I have the passion that you asked for
Floorin' the gas, tryin' a fast forward
Fifteen months, I'll see you once the sun shines through
The glass above the dashboard
The stars I see aren't even there
It's only light in the air
(By the time you get this message)
The stars I see aren't even there
(By the time you get this message)
It's only light in the air
By the time you get this message I'll be
Either on my second flight or already
All the way to my destination
Ridiculous that I could honestly expect you
Waitin' at the gate when I arrive
A sixteen hour drive
I've been feeling so silly
Goin' on now several months
As our obsession runs together
And whoever comes to have you, I'll be jealous of
And when above all else
You put her I'll know what it was
To feel so needed
Sorta wish that I was more of a romantic
And could give you back the utmost
But I've never seen it up close
From everything that I can tell
There are several possibilities
Maybe we're in love really
Maybe it's too early to really see
Maybe we're just searching for something
To hold onto amidst confusion and fragility
Maybe we've lost all sensibility
Will it become our 'Splendor In The Grass'？
When the facts have asserted themselves
And the memories pass into poetry and words that we tell
What only then can we be sure that we felt
Guess I prefer to be unhappy
Or weren't you looking at me
When my back became a wall？
Searched for your reflection
Saw exactly what you saw
Two kinds of different skin
Two minds exist within
Trying to just transcend all space and time
And lift their chin
And find some sense of purpose some sense of hope
Press my cheek against the window surface
We've been afloat
But now I'm nervous, has this been a joke？
We're landin' and it's time to close the envelope
Maybe I'll see you at the finish line
The stars I see aren't even there
It's only light in the air
(By the time you get this message)
The stars I see aren't even there
It's only light in the air
(By the time you get this message)
(By the time you get this message)
The stars I see aren't even there
It's only light in the air
By the time you get this message
By the time you get this message
By the time you get this message
By the time you get this message
The stars I see aren't even there
Light in the air
7.Airplane Mode
Cowboys in a spaceship
The crowd noise is wasted
Women take pics so they can seem naked
Guys tell jokes so they can see 'em naked
Church ladies vote what they perceive sacred
Proposition hatred
Phosphorous in riverbeds
Billion dollars spilled to fill esophagus with cigarettes
Philosophers plots to maul nations out of shock and awe
Generation of ideas
Children who won't talk at all
Profits fall
Chalk on walls
Years spent on prison cells
Next to die
Living hell
His twelve peers didn't exercise their privilege well
Babies raised through the glass
Bullets at the border war games take a stab
Coordinate who can pass like a paper bag
Minutes on an internet pornpage fornicate make her gag
What's the damage for the neighbor tagged by the amateur？
Water blast erase the trace of the canisters
Waterpath took the stairways left the banister
Washed over premises turned up percentages
Lost under sludge lots of revised sentences
Defense budgets padded by sandbags and sandwiches
Wasted
Drag this baggage
Hold this Damage
Cope the best that we can manage
Want solutions
Needs new standards
Cry our beauty from the ashes
To do list throw away mail go buy envelopes
Who's this coulda-been-Rhodes'-Scholar-centerfold
Every day's a resource to be sure
Its integral to rebirth from t-shirts to minerals
The ward's filthy
Search for another light in town
Nobody else home
Can't carry their same load
But I feel guilty like the flight went down
And my cell phone wasn't on airplane mode
Soy-based newsprint
Blackmarket foodstamps
Poison in the Pete moss
Suffocated beatbox
B-boys in detox
Corrugated cardboard
Lockheed lobbyists floor debating star wars
Yeast and fungi
Springtails ants and nematodes
Sawdust yellowcake
Organics decompose
Bokashi EM-inoculated wheat bran
Toxic compounds broken down under coffee ground
Ancient carcasses in the sphagnum lost and found
Empty cartridges from a magnum
Tossed into agricultural lime rockflour and seaweed meal
Bioremediate man-made molecules
Wasted
Ashes to eggshells
Woodchips to whiskers
Anything we can mess up we can fix up
Sword to plowshare
Soiled from beneath the trash
Detroit red into El-Hajj Malik Shabazz
Oildrum to steelpan
Prisoner to Gramsci
Rose from the concrete
Reverse the flows of the Ponzi schemes
Cripwalk to a conscious beat
Hip-hop is a compost heap
Gangsters to gardeners
Rivals into partners
Fanatics to reformers
Felons into farmers
Inmates to fathers of innercity scholars
Poptart to salad
Teens into college
Lawns into restaurants
Centerfold models to artists
Police abuse to catharsis
Street sergeants into peace departments
Thousand dollar bills to green for all markets
Backlots to blacktops and cashcrops for have nots
Metal into scrap shops
Jobs for the cast-offs
Crackspots into earthships for urban astronauts
Reservation into reservoir
Of wisdom we used to know
Use the whole animal
Landfill to future home
Pacifist guerrillas to bazooka zones
Black hawks to attics
C-130's to superdome
Newborns on computerphones
So the smile's not wasted
8.Whip$ and Chain$
Strange fruit I roll up in my ford taurus
Emissions I wont pass like Gandalf at Moria
Way out of order
Sedan with four doors
Pull out garage and lost side view mirror
My credit card final fantasy breaks the limit
I just paid just brakes to break my lemon
Wont make enough juice for my pessimism
So I'm not for given 'till my debts forgiven
Skim off the top
Convertible roofs
Thinking spanish
Green sounds like the truth
Got it on lock jaw to the tip o' the tooth
Way I floss no dental insurance to boot
But my chain hangs low, I could double dutch
Keep my eyes to the floor so don't stumble much
I shine at night from all the carrots
'Cause it's not who you are but who you're wearing
Stay sportin lashes from the old massa's
And whats under the chassis
Clasps on the neck says
'Property of the masses'
The block is gentrified while the governor's classic
Don't know who the boss is do I hold the power
Or am I powered like horses
Whip is blowin' out my back like I'm exhaust-ed
Pipes blowin' more fire than pentecost
Who killed o？
Why and what's the reason for？
Who starts homicidal wars？
Rich man poor man either or？
Who shows us what we knead？
Who's got the bread for the luxuries？
Who told us it's ingrained？
We who hold these whips and chains
If there's no lock who needs a key？
When did we stop being free？
I see things vis a vis a sea change
Full fathom five people became remains deep beneath chains
We pay into easing these pains
'Cause the history is difficult
Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals
Allow me to renumerate aloud the typical rude awakenings
of the drowsy consumer base
Bass boom will make the crowd sing and syncopate with
the views that they're espousing
Synchronize to the stupid take a thousand
Sinning like every excuse they make is valid
Simon Williams I Wonder Man
Just how did our oil get under their sand？
And how did our homes get onto their land？
And how did our foes get guns in their hands？
Conflict diamonds
Child labor tennis shoes
Genocide energy
Gentrified gin and juice
Slave trade banks
Rape-based internet movies
What's a simple straight-laced human to do
With a strange fate twist and fame
Except talk shit and name off a list of gains
But do you realize I'd find my lips in flames
If I tried to take pride in these whips and chains
Who killed o？
Why and what's the reason for？
Who starts homicidal wars？
Rich man poor man either or？
Who shows us what we knead？
Who's got the bread for the luxuries？
Who told us it's ingrained？
We who hold these whips and chains
Who holds these
Who holds these
Who holds these traps and circuses
We want it
They own it
So we're going half-berserk for it
Let's take it
Let's take it
Let's take it back before cassettes
Pepsi cans and packs of percocet
1910 all the factory workers said
Yes we can demand a weekend
If we can get the man to weaken
So if you're ready than send a beacon
To be continued and to begin
We can't be content to steep in the anaesthesia
Invisible hands of phantoms depend on
Ya fantasies have been poisoned
But we've got the panacea!
Who killed o？
Why and what's the reason for？
Who starts homicidal wars？
Rich man poor man either or？
Who shows us what we knead？
Who's got the bread for the luxuries？
Who told us it's ingrained？
We who hold these whips and chains
Who killed o？
Why and what's the reason for？
Who starts homicidal wars？
Rich man poor man either or？
Who shows us what we knead？

Who told us it's ingrained？
We who hold these whips and chains
9.Good Soldier
Today, You don't have to be a soldier
Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
It's okay to be as you were
Be as you were again.
Is it a scheme？ Is it a Vision？
Is it a dream？ Is it a nightmare？
Or is it a competition？
And if it is, what if we don't fight fair？
What's bald in the morning but in the evening has white hairs？
What's the cause of global warming and could it be
these things right here？
I've got an idea that might not reach anyone for another light
year
Got a hit list and a cloud of witnesses which is pricier
My tears are mightier than my fears
So mighty Earth provides me hurt that I keep buried
until I convert it to writing
I was wounded
I was injured
I was made to move to Denver
I was taken through a new adventure
Paint stripped from it's first fixture
I was placed in another picture
I was rushed to a new landscape
And ripped away from family scraped into a politicians mistake
And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans
Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
A world of emotions
A guess that it might be okay
That it could be all right if expressed today
Today, You don't have to be a soldier
Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
It's okay to be as you were
Be as you were again.
Am I a woman raised man-machine
Damaging everything I touch by not caring enough
Or too much
Am I far flung fantasy
Setting free enmity
And making friends from enemies
And bridges for the in-between's
For the highwayman on a low road
The tired back with a large load
The trials spanned till I found hope
And I found more
When I slo mo'ed
Enough of the back to face front
Let those in the pack of the race run
I'm needing an evener pace one too hasty
Makes mistakes
Can you carry a song
As strong as your arms can bear
That you keep from harm
And it will be there
When you go wrong
Make a heart from your bond
Your treasure is right here
And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans
Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
A world of emotions
A guess that it might be okay
That it could be all right if expressed today
Today, You don't have to be a soldier
Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
It's okay to be as you were
Be as you were again.
Today, You don't have to be a soldier
Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
It's okay to be as you were
Be as you were again.
10.Superhero
We believed in love, when love wasn't an option
She wanted to give birth, I wanted adoption
After days and days of conversation,
we decided to go with fertilization
Then came baby showers and lamaze classes,
2am phone calls, one minute contractions
But then they wisked me away like Brigadoon,
no domestic partners in the delivery room
But if I was a superhero I would break free
Wouldn't need anyone to come and save me
And you couldn't make me, feel like I'm crazy
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
And if I was a superhero I would break free
And I wouldn't be in prison wherever you take me
I would change everyone that's trying to change me
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
Life in an occupied land is hard, we pushed harder
Soon to be a mom, him to be a father
Boys with guns at the checkpoint and brothel
Wouldn't let me pass when I said I need a doctor
I don't know the source of the passport errors
Or how four hours produced a miscarriage
But when it comes to populations too disparaged
Gaza's on the list, right below gay marriage
But if I was a superhero I would break free
Wouldn't need anyone to come and save me
And you couldn't make me, feel like I'm crazy
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
And if I was a superhero I would break free
And I wouldn't be in prison wherever you take me
I would change everyone who's trying to change me
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
There's something on my heart, there's someone on my mind
I never would have thought that I could be so angry,
but please give me the patience, please give me the patience
There's something on my heart, there's someone on my mind
I never would have thought that I could be so angry,
but please give me the patience, please give me the patience
But if I was a superhero I would break free
Wouldn't need anyone to come and save me
And you couldn't make me, feel like I'm crazy
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
Yeah if I was a superhero I would break free
And I wouldn't be in prison wherever you take me
I would change everyone who's trying to change me
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
Yeah if I was a superhero I would break free
And I wouldn't be in prison wherever you take me
I would change everyone who's trying to change me
I would see my baby, I would see my baby
11.Infatuation
You play the field like a tractor
Scope for greener pastures
But you never have scored what you've never asked for
Met someone who made me glow
Passion was like crazy wo
Doted on another though, so of course I let her go
Oh no! my gentle recipes
Overloaded with Fenella leather-mine
If it keeps on this directemy
F＊#＊ it thats gonna mean Vasectomy
And were the livin poor, set the table get the door
Wrestle naked hit the floor
But I don't seek that shit no more
Its different for me, try to tell myself a different story
This alpha male we count the tale 'bullshit' can just destroy me
Cause what we say is what we seek,
What we seek is what we get
What we get is what we give
I can give you nothing less
'EXCEPT'
'INFATUATION', take these words and turn them into lies
'INFATUATION', turns the earth to fool that does not hear
'I I I I I I INFATUATION', say she ain't, my every last desire
'INFATUATION', is 'just' the thing I want or the thing I need
He collects clips from magazines, found them full of hollow
point
Mixes mehdia with the media they both consume the young.
The same old song gets sung, He wants to hang so he gets hung
He's chase'n father figures a real son of a gun
I don't copy to the coffini's
Carter quite don't make bail
Um'teen years for moving keys
Ironic he's locked up in jail
Outside he is idolized, my sister class and asked them
boy'z they wanna be just like'em
Push more rocks then belts of asteroids
Better strapped the paranoid then,
in the streets without a choice, to, peace of mind has been
destroyed
But now you got a louder voice
Idols lie to idle minds that, I don't mind if got mine
If all are lies idealized then all our crimes are idolized, then
'INFATUATION', take these words and turn them into lies
'INFATUATION', turns the earth to fool that does not hear
'I I I I I I Infatuation', say she aint, my every last desire
'INFATUATION', is 'just' the thing I want or the thing I need
If this isn't love
Why does my heart hurt so baaaaaaaaaaaaad
You don't know why
You wanna be the man
You wanna be demanded by other people's hands
So how
you caught up in the tree's with the audience screams at the
'Thought'
But you don't know why
You wanna be the man
You wanna be demanded by other people's hands
So how
You caught up in he's knee's
Make the audience please
Like a party in the trees
'INFATUATION', take these words and turn them into lies
'INFATUATION', turns the earth to fool that does not hear
'I I I I I I Infatuation', say she aint, my every last desire
'INFATUATION', is 'just' the thing I want or the thing I need
'Now everybody in the club stand still like a rubber-band
filled with Government bills'
'Now everybody in the club stand still'
12.Panacea for the Poison
In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison
My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore
Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships
As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips
No I never asked for nothing and that's just what I got
As my pride does before I do as I follow muscle code
I wasted many days chasing brightly gleaming streams
As I fold into your presence, do I now know what it means
We could get old
And talk at the same time when we tell stories
If we let go
Impossible names rhyme in elegant poetry
What I sample in everything
It inundates my small town
I refuse the offers extended waiting for God
Now I never asked for nothing audible
So when the walls fall down and spin like water wheels
I'll pray for something logical
So when we all drown
I can cover bald spots with yamakas
Drawn from extra dimensional sources
Like in comic books
Choose your own adventure
I'm obsessing like a drug fiend
Fantasies of actors clandestinely having sex in love scenes
But why not amateurs openly sharing joy in sex scenes
Stand clear while I soak in this treasure trove of a wet dream
I can't tell what my problem is
Or even if there is one
Sail the celibacies much sooner than commit one
Escaping minor shake-ups but keep bracing for the big one
To make the choices obvious and save us from decisions
In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison
My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore
Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships
As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips
No I never asked for nothing and that's just what I got
As my pride does before I do as I follow muscle code
I wasted many days chasing brightly gleaming streams
As I fold into your presence, do I now know what it means
I dreamt of whimsy
In a fire fight with the in-the-line-of-fire flies
Watch the dusk go indigo and blush into a silent night
Birth immaculate conscious from a pregnant pause
In the August of my righteousness just waiting for the fall
The greater and the small, all for one and one for all
For all the S.O.S and we will rise to the call
I've bitten the hand that feeds and found myself bleeding here
by
I'll only need what I need
But need will get me out of my groove
So I move to different tunes
Sunning in the warm weather
By the light of distant moons
There's tape men in the nation bring the monsoon
Season with the spectacle of people finding tools
Aphrodite, grown fools, and buyers sown booze
Let's throw out the cravings and things with no use
People dropping jewels, gems can't shine like odd light
To air is human, so the sky is our birth right
In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison
My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore
Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships
As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips
No I never asked for nothing and that's just what I got
As my pride does before I do as I follow muscle code
I wasted many days chasing brightly gleaming streams
As I fold into your presence, do I now know what it means
In my mind I hold the passion, panacea for the poison
My bruised and battered body washes up upon the shore
Send fleas from leaking wounds like rats from sinking ships
As I float off to forever with these words upon my lips
