1.What a Day

Sittin' on your ass all day
Thinkin' about your hangover and the party
You left your fuckin' keys and had to beg for
A ride from a stranger that I never met before.
He acted so friendly that I had to take the ride
But for some reason he resembled that
Guy wanted for a robbery and beatin' on his kids
'You remind me of my stepson' he chuckled with a grin.

What was that move that they taught in self-defense.
You block the killer's knife move with some confidence.
The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car.
I wonder if he'll drive real far.

What a day, what a day,
You should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
What a day, what a day.
What a day, what a day,
You should think next time before you start to play,
What a day, what a day.
I wonder what will happen today.
Rub your eyes from! No sleep this week!
Tap your heels home! Then fall asleep...

Sittin' 'round looking for a fight.
Kinda' pissed off how I'm turnin' my life
Upside down from insecure insecurities makin' up
My mind through old hypocrisy.
Up and out of harms way down cause I wanna be there
Here because you want me
Not because you're caught in my stare.

What was that move that they taught in self-defense.
You block the killer's knife move with some confidence.
The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car.
I wonder if he'll drive real far.

What a day, what a day,
You should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
What a day, what a day.
What a day, what a day,
You should think next time before you start to play,
What a day, what a day.
I wonder what will happen today.
Rub your eyes from! No sleep this week!
Tap your heels home! Then fall asleep, asleep in bed
You'll do something tomorrow instead.

What a day, what a day,
You should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
What a day, what a day.
What a day, what a day,
You should think next time before you start to play,
What a day, what a day.
What a day, what a day.

What a day, what a day.


2.Mindtrip

You're about to take a mindtrip
Get your ticket stamped
Pack your thoughts on up
And set yourself
To rant and rave
I'll pave the way
And clear a path
For all the aftermath
That's gonna happen
When these verses hit
Your bony ass

Bon Voyage
I'll check you later
Now check your reason
Was it all for pleasing
Or was it all misleading
Or do you need a guide
Brother check your side
I'm gonna take you on a joyride

Trip inside your mind
Gonna trip inside your mind
Feels good and separate yourself

It feels real good
I think I kicked in another 12 hours
I'll be back again and the vitamin C
Is making me see
The visual dreams
All the colors and the schemes
The visual dreams
The light from the moon
Screams shuttering
Laughing to breathe


3.Endure

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime,
And being on time takin' a punch and doin' my best,
Not ever hearing good job and staying upset
It doesn't take too much to find
The sediments they left behind.

Put down the book put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours,
What's mine is yours and I'll mature.
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see
When they try to look at me.

Put down the book put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours,
What's mine is yours and I'll mature.
Endure


4.Years

Funny feeling my guts intuition doesn't know
No bravery could convince you
To more or less say no
Your explanation hasn't gone over yet
But I'll give you one more chance
To open up and just let go

There's no easier way out of this place
I'm claiming this lie to you face to face to face to
That's no way for you to treat me my dear
Someone you chose to lie to all these years

There is no other title that I can find for us
Even though you can believe that this could
Work and bleed and breathe and be for us
Your interpretation of my expectations
Caught up in your picture frame
Have defined my eyes and made me turn up down and inside

There's no easier way out of this place
I'm claiming this lie to you face to face to face to
That's no way for you to treat me my dear
Someone you chose to lie to all these years

All these years

There's no easier way out of this place
I'm claiming this lie to you face to face to face to
That's no way for you to treat me my dear
Someone you chose to lie to all these years


5.Tribute

Come on! Come on! Uh!
That's right, Nonpoint, Darwin's, Grimm in the house,
Lemme hear that shit
Na'mean? Uh! 'Bout to slay those f*ckin' tracks
Here we go, come on!

Once upon a time not long ago
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood
And people was behavin' like they are too good
There lived a little boy that was misled
By another little boy and this is what he said
Check it 'Me and you kid we gonna make some cash (What! What!)
Robbin old folks and makin' a (Come on! Come on!) dash...'
Their jackets tied, money came with ease
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another (Stick it up!) and another (Stick it up!)
Michael Jackson (Stick it up!) Stevie Wonder (Stick it up!)
Tried to rob a man who was a D.C. undercover
The kid got wild startin' actin' erratic
He said 'I got you all in check'

Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!

When I step up in the place and yo I step correct
Whoa! Got you all in check
I got that head nod shit that make you break your neck
Whoa! Got you all in check
Well you know we come through to wreck the disco tech
Whoa! Got you all in check
Throw your hands up in the air and never disrespect
Whoa! Got you all in check


6.Evil Ways

You've got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin' you
You've got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true
You got a bad habit for lying this way
Baby change your evil ways
I can't keep myself shut up for one more day

Cause you've got me runnin' and hidin'
All over town
You've got me sneakin' and peepin'
And runnin' you down
This can't go on
Lord knows you've got to change
Baby, baby
No evil ways, baby

When I come home, baby
The house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging around, baby
With Jean and Joan and who knows who


7.Your Signs

Gotta make a list of what is best
Gotta make a fist and beat against
Have to leave an impression
Do you have a suggestion?
I am all out of good ideas
The ones you have are whispered into your ears
With all you care to share
How did I end up here?

Your signs are pointing to nowhere
That's exactly where I won't go
Your signs are pointing to nowhere
And no one that I know
That's all you care to show me
Care to show me

Gotta make a list of what is best
Gotta make a fist and beat against
Have to make this perfectly clear
I'm not waiting for one million years
For us in general
You make the chemical
Situation I put us in
Unfamiliar as foreign land

Your signs are pointing to nowhere
That's exactly where I won't go
Your signs are pointed to nowhere
And no one that I know
That's all you care to show me


8.Excessive Reaction

Gotta get from the point of pressure,
To the point of no return, to turn me inside out.
Brother please, tell the others, please.
There are others that don't know about these...

Standing, responses.
Failing the answers.
Screaming so foreign.
Excessive reactions.

Bouncing off walls,
Where the pictures hang of the last ones
That made them fall before.
Taking it all with a grain of salt,
And a bitter sweet memory of these...

Standing, responses.
Failing the answers.
Screaming so foreign.
Excessive reaction.

Insane and bottled in, explain the state I'm in.
You're electric pulse can't ail my sins,
Explain the state I'm in.

Not so lost, not so fast, not reacting act so...
Not the boss, not the past, not reacting act so...


9.Mint

I'll take back what is left of what you had
Barley enough to keep me dead.
Tell me how to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you won't settle for me.

This need for more has me cold, and shaky.
No more waiting for a reaction face when they hear about,
The trouble that started when you and I met,
And let me remind you I plan to get through,
With or without you.

Just tell me how to make some sense of the the mess you left me
with.
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you won't settle for me.

Want versus need.
Don't push me, I have no need.
Buy or sell, those beans are a nuclear falling out, disaster.
That called in the troops even faster than when all the lights
went to red
Instead of the days when we made each other.

And we try to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you won't settle for me.

Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease, pushes me away.
Say what you have to...

And you try to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me
To settle for you won't settle for me.

Tell me how to make sense of this non-sense, distress.
Won't settle down...

Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease,
Pushes me away
Say what you have to say...


10.Across the Line

Sittin' on your ass all day
Thinkin' about your hangover and the party
You left your f*ckin' keys and had to beg for
A ride from a stranger that I never met before.
He acted so friendly that I had to take the ride
But for some reason he resembled that
Guy wanted for a robbery and beatin' on his kids
'You remind me of my stepson' he chuckled with a grin.

What was that move that they taught in self-defense.
You block the killer's knife move with some confidence.
The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car.
I wonder if he'll drive real far.

What a day, what a day,
You should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
What a day, what a day.
What a day, what a day,
You should think next time before you start to play,
What a day, what a day.
I wonder what will happen today.
Rub your eyes from! No sleep this week!
Tap your heels home! Then fall asleep...

Sittin' 'round looking for a fight.
Kinda' pissed off how I'm turnin' my life
Upside down from insecure insecurities makin' up
My mind through old hypocrisy.
