[Drapht:]
Oi Daz, do you think what I'm thinking?
I think that they're thinking that we care about what they think
But don't you think that their thinking about all this thinking a little too much?
Fuckin hell, alright
This going out to all you tough motherfuckers
[Dazastah:]
Check. D-r and Pegz will hang you high from a clothesline
Strip the sheep of wolves clothing with a dope rhyme
Head first, I'll throw you into my walls of passion
And still you fucking eggheads wouldn't know what's cracking
Stirring the pot, I scramble your brain for breakfast
SBX kid, the fathers of some next shit
Gotta dark iron flow like a pint of Guinness
Fuck Steve Irwin - I'm notable like the Indiginous
I never let you take my style out
Sick, fluent and loud like I worked out a way to make my bomb shout
Spit versatile on topics in life's list
While you scene jocks only battle emcees that don't exist
Fuck a hip hop scene, I make music for your mind
And turn bandwagon jumpers into followers for life
And on that note, I'm signing off on this tip
[? ] was all about your bitch
[Chorus: Drapht]
Yah think ya shit don't stink? Ya better think twice
All I see is soft pussies like a pair of pink tights
Ya think I shouldn't sing and just bring it to em raw?
But I'm bored of the wars and the way that you record
Yah think you're in a struggle, thinking that you're hungry
You live in paradise, not a third world country
You think you're the shit, yeah you're better than the rest?
YOU DON'T WANNA RISK DEATH
[Verse 2: Drapht]
In the heat of the moment D-r's known for getting malicious
My fucking issues in a penthouse, still I'm staying ambitious
So I won't be washing dishes (nah), won't be working for peanuts
Who's sposed to be dumped in trunks quicker than a mobsters cleanup
A pre-nup agreement when I'm reaming this rap scene
The pack's been infected and I'm leaving no vaccine
The cat's been, let out of the bag on you
Watched the rats run, so every doubt I had is true
Got gratitude for many, anyone in my vicinity
Battered and bruised egos wanted to fucking finish me
Who? I should've knew that you would scoop to the lowest path
Fucking animals treating this scene like it's Noah's Ark
Know your heart's in the wrong place
There's enough room for tough crews and hippies that are rhyming about mushrooms
Don't even start if you're thinking you will bust through
Obese and SBX, killing this? I fucking must do
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Pegz]
9 to 5, works monotony
Tryna survive and serve the economy
Obese Creeew - burn methodically
Terminology experts learn it properly
Pegz and Drapht inspire passionate people
Live from the motherfucking Axis of Evil
Where fascists are people in this War Against Terror
How many gotta die for George's vendetta?
Born September, the Devil's advocate
Fear campaigns and mental arrogance
Our governments sold out, nothing's sacrilege
Except the Catholic Church and corporate affluence
Worse than liver disease, addiction to speed
Powers like smack for the rich and elite
[Drapht:]
We nurse the illest emcees with this diction we breed
Untraceable tracks from west to the EAST.
[DJ Selekt on the decks:]
"Possibly, you might try stopping me"
"Well obviously boy, you ain't thinking properly"
"Possibly, you might try stopping me"
"My philosophy is to keep this shit poppin"
[Chorus:]
Who can we trust, who can we count on to lead us through the rain
Who can we trust, who can we count on to take away this pain
You fucking must not sit still, who can we trust in this world?
Who can we trust in this world? You fucking must not sit still
You fucking must not sit still
[Scratches: DJ Selekt]
[Verse 1:]
You know support when we walk across the tight rope
Horrorscopes clash, a bull vs a white goat
Horns of an antelope to poke hopes for peace
To decrease the deceased - gotta control police
As we reach for a helping hand out of sandy dirt
Can we work it more than Mandy Skir[? ]
Land is worth more than Aboriginal people
The Labor or Liberals are never gonna consider us equal
So I'm evil in their eyes, we're living different lives
We'll live with a different rhythm I'm given to survive
When worlds colide, girls and guys polls apart
Stolen art, stolen land, holes in hearts
A cold and dark jungle, hard to stay humble
Drunk and rumble, an alcoholic Barney Gumble
A gun full of rotten teeth, forgotton speech
It's deeper than the bottomless beach
[Chorus]
[Scratches: DJ Selekt]
[Verse 2:]
I need to releive the beef like Greenpeace and hippy's
Getting followed and watched by more eyes than Missisippi
So give me all you got, spot the weight of the world on my shoulders
Understand more as I'm older
Hold ya with no escape, they pillage and rape
You then find new-age vikings to run your state
They infiltrate subliminally with armies and mini-me's
A justice ministry with carnage and killing sprees
Industries that take you down if you got a clue
Bound to be drowned if they found out what you knew
Watching you as you march under order
Preparing a slaughter as Navy boats cross the border
Into enemy waters, only warning is the first shot
Bystanders drop to the floor not knowing what
Happened, flattened, giving up the freedom
He won't stop the bleeding til the terror stops breathing
[Chorus:]
Who can we trust, who can we rely on?
You fucking must be understanding the plan and of what I'm on about
Who can we trust, who can we rely on?
You fucking must be understanding the plan of what I'm on about
What it is I'm on about
[Scratches: DJ Selekt]
[Verse 3:]
You smoking more than a roach if your head's held high
Controlled daily by the government and feds world-wide
Would you die for a lie while kids lie on the street
Covered by white sheets, parents cry for defeat
Eats them alive inside, their life's all over
Bite from a cobra, surprised they're so sober
So your world should stop from a man's move
If it's not you, another fan that stands to lose
A Rubix Cube - no side ever wants to match up
Wrack your brain while the insane manufacture
Plots and plans to drop death from crop dusters
Bust you up - heads hit the deck like Chad Muska
Crusty Demons, fiends who feed off the screaming
Scarred by meaning - nah you must just be dreaming
Nah you're not, it's rock-solid reality
The fallacies of one man turn to fatalities
[Chorus:]
Who can we trust, who can we count on to lead us through the rain
Who can we trust, who can we count on to take away this pain
You fucking must not sit still, who can we trust in this world?
Who can we trust in this world? You fucking must not sit still
You fucking must not sit still
[Scratches: DJ Selekt]
Yeahhh, keep avoiding the truth
Keep the Reaper's puppet controlling your life
Keep enrolling yourself into suicide
Keep on living through lies and fear
Or hear someone new that you might not be used to
Who am I? An Aussie battler, man that manufactures
Plans to fracture, can't handle or stand my stature
My raps saturate, every batch I make is packed with hate
An act of fate, once I'm r'ound the corner, I've been trapped in rain
Scrap the page now, I've got to start from scratch again
The whack catch a break, I'm sick of sayin' congrats to them
I lax it in, catch a pen, gettin' straight to work
Take the first steps, redirect the hex and break the curse
Shake the nerves, makin words', I bear it all for this
Can't call it quits, standin' way too tall to miss
Paul is this, who am I? A phantom watchin' down
Struck a random till I'm handed all these knuckled frowns
Stop these clowns claimin' king, bring you back to planet Earth
I stand firm from the day this planet merged from Perth
A learnin' curve from the birth of this
Try to take me down but swerve and miss, motherfucker
Who am I? A slave to the beat and it's rhythm
Who am I? I'm ashamed of this world that we live in
Who am I? I'm a threat, I'm the voice in your head
The one telling you to jump off the ledge, motherfucker
Who am I? I'm the man from the land down under
Who am I? I'm the rain, I'm the sun, I'm the thunder
Who am I? I'm the hope that elopes through your speaker
Runnin' as the wolf pack leader, motherfucker, who am I?
I'm carin about one fan base in sunburnt landscape
Plan A is summed up with one word, rampage
Man-made disaster, no bandaid or plaster
Is big enough to cover up this blood, sweat, I'd rather
The heartfelt saga, targets an audience, my marker
B-Boys or girls that are as horny as Drapht
But I'm warnin that I'm born in this to shout out
Be burnin them then I'm servin the corniest on our planet
My anatomy's had a beating, I'm feeding off heads
Like Hannibal but never leavin em dead, plant my CD/see-d instead
Believe in the right season it will grow
For now I'm happy standin back and letting nobody know
Who I am, remaining to stand as the ghost in the backdrop
Won't ever abandon my pose for a snapshot
Or hope for the jackpot to carry me
I'd rather crack the luckier mentality man so...
Who am I? A slave to the beat and it's rhythm
Who am I? I'm ashamed of this world that we live in
Who am I? I'm a threat, I'm the voice in your head
The one telling you to jump off the ledge, motherfucker
Who am I? I'm the man from the land down under
Who am I? I'm the rain, I'm the sun, I'm the thunder
Who am I? I'm the hope that elopes through your speaker
Runnin' as the wolf pack leader, motherfucker, who am I?
What makes your tick climb makes me sick to the stomach
Amateur dicks pull out 'cause they know that DR's coming
It's certified, no spermicide can stop me
Fertilisin' a lot while only a third of the eyes watch me
Measure dying monopoly, building another level
Diversifying it properly, rule and run with the rebels
I never settle for second
We be goin' off quicker than the metal detection at Al Qaeda's mosque
You lost in translation, costing you to listen
To what this man's facin', offer you the vision
Just once and it will never be repeated again
I stay conceited from the greed and all the trends, motherfucker
Who am I? Paul Ridge to the death
Who am I? D-rapht to the death
Who am I? S-B-X to the death
And I'm gonna represent till there's nothin' of me left
Who am I? AM crew to the death
Who am I? War crew to the death
Who am I? WA to the death
[Chorus:]
Awww yeah,
Where yah from
Yo, where yah belong from
From perth to melbourne
Yup, where yah from
Where's yah home, yup, where yah living
Adelaide to brisbane
Whe-e-e-ere yah from
Stand for ya land if you with me
Tassie to sydney
Whe-e-e-ere yah from?
Where yah represent on the map
Where you at,
The name you shouting out on the track
Where yah from
I'm from a land of freedom,
Aladdin's lamp granting three wishes to anyone who need em
Chant the anthem, bleed for my country
Kill for my kingdom, sing for the hungry
The ink on the paper, it ain't my income making money under the table,
Yah drink some
Split like vince vaughn and jennifer
Blink I'm gone, thanks for your shit like an enema
Tell em again, again,
Don't want to be the center of attention
Just a gentleman with venom in his engine
Decend from the henchmen,
Did I mention, I'm sent without vengance
Kill for a happy ending, with honor
Can't comprehend 'till you spend a summer,
On this brown land,
If your looking on your map
It down
And down
And down
And down
[Hook/Chorus x2: Drapht]
S to the B to the X
Certified to the Wise
We running your dreams, we running this scene
S to the B to the X
Certified to the Wise
It's Pressure and Drapht and we're after the lot
[Verse 1: Pressure]
Verbally flawless, Pressure and Drapht serving the rawness
I take a piss on your parade and skirmish your fortress
Certainly dauntless, you heard that we murder the thoughtless
Life's a gamble and Pressure's a certaintly for this
Game of hearts, step - break in half
Don't make me laugh
If you're a conscript you still couldn't take the Draft/Drapht
I'm sick of these maggots claiming that they eat rappers
You are what you eat - and these rappers are weak faggots
Suckers think they're smoother than chilled silk
Huh, your shit's butter while I eat it up, quick iron over spilt milk
Giving the stress, when close talkers give it their best
Your flow ain't intoxicating - that's the gin on your breath
So keep your mouth closed for the best
From the South Coast to the West
The house flows to your chest
We ain't never gonna change, this is life long
The only change that I got's the sixth sense I survive on
[Hook/Chorus:]
S to the B to the X
Certified to the Wise
We running your dreams, we running this scene
"Better get on the right team"
S to the B to the X
Certified to the Wise
It's Pressure and Drapht and we're after the lot
"Consider us the hitmen that's knocking you off"
[Verse 2: Drapht]
Verbally I'm unstable, unable to stop the voices
Psychotic turn to fatal the way that I spit the poison
No avoiding the noise, I loiter your fucking comfort zone
Know to never step into this Gladiators thunder dome
Unknown to most, home is where the heart lies
Home should be with Kylie Minouge and with Bec Cartwright
Now but I'm tied down, bound and gagged
Walked all over and dumped on the ground and dragged
Around on jagged rocks, to the boondocks and back
If Derapht's in town, every boombox is jacked
No laxidaisical rap, just black resin
While the wack roll like [? ] and screwed, you lack presence
Or a gift to uplift and rip through the rafters
Rip through ring masters, a solid lion heart is the remedy
An apparatus on the enemy, sending me nuts
Can't better the breed of this pedigree
Ready or not, we're ready
Let it be known it's Drapht and Pressure from the land of Ned Kelly's home
And no man can step to this flowman's ability
Feeling my force like the artillery of the military
I guillotine and shredded your Bill of Freedom
Now he's made you beleive that we actually need him
Misleading our name, driving us off a cliff
The only way he could show them who he is
[Hook/Chorus: x2]
S to the B to the X
Certified to the Wise
We running your dreams, we running this scene
"Better get on the right team"
S to the B to the X
Certified to the Wise
It's Pressure and Drapht and we're after the lot
[Chorus:]
So can I get a price check, yeah can I get a price check
On your life and the side effects
Of the money, the greed, the debt, the schemes
Check one two, check two three
Get a mic check, yeah can I get a mic check
Derapht coming live and direct
From the West to the South, to the North to the East
Check one two, check two three
[Verse 1:]
Mmmm man my mother was never made of the money
Iron maiden never running away from her sons and
Daughters, always had food and water
Never knew how she afforded my Jordan's but bought em'
I wore them till water, would leak through the rips
Never looked poor like Oliver Twist, never wanted more
Or knock on your door like I was a Mormon
Swore to never be down or caught in a rip
Ha, when money came it was gone with the wind
On a shopping list longer than the Lord of the Rings
Ha, a sunny day you ain't short of a thing
When ya born into a game holding four of the kings
Yeah believe it, my dad was a musician
But bringing a bass drum to cook up in the kitchen
Wouldn't feed us, with all his get rich scheming
Feeding his deamons, life's a bitch
To sky rocket he forgot all the people in his locket
For a profit, leave another man rotten
Notes in his pocket nailed in his coffin
Cause yesterday's pain ain't forgotton
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
I knew this girl you would sell your soul for
She would control your world like the Cold War
No dole form, sworn from the riches erection
Oh you gotta rex or a Lexus
And this temptress gives you attention
Hence all you have to do is mention the money
It's like sex; you got none, you want it
Now she's all up in your wallet for the money so
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Was always taught that the root of evil
Is he who steals from the pocket of his people
Eagle eyed survive in the dark
Ravenous sharks, welcome to the business
Oh I live this, knocked off the hinges
Our offspring addicted to syringes of money
Axe wilding civillian children kill for
Some Paris Hilton million dollar money
Some of these kids live the sunniest life
Still running from the law like Bonnie and Clyde
Still deal, still pedaling pills and rock
Steal for what? You got all the dollar bills you want
It makes the world go round, it makes the world go
It makes the girls go down, it makes the girls go
It makes the world go round, it makes the world go
It makes the girls go down
See, it all started with my dad
If he rated anything I always hated it
With one catch the beauty of life
He played Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five
It was the message
And I guess that meant more than anything I was given
From him, maybe the rhythm within
Or given my similar sisters
Living for the resistance, we listen to systems pumping out
Jump around, to Rage Against The Machine
Fuck the police by NWA, we played the Grave Diggers
To Nirvana's Smelling Like Teen Spirit
And they sing it with every little bit of last breath that is in them
Yes and they listen, yes and they love it,
Yes and they live it, yes they
Singing along, they singing along
A new day, a new dawn
A place to forget about the world you're on and get the whole crowd
Singing along, they singing along
You can't change it, it's set in stone
And I ain't saying we need to get along
Just let the whole crowd sing it
It all started as a young'n, hanging around at Hunter's flat
Once where the warriors and monsters rapped
I sat back taking it in - destined to win it
Had all of SBX as my next of kin
It was a blessing that manifested from being a guest on Done DL
That and the help from the Hydey
In '99 I had an I.D
Only 17 but saying I was 19
Hide when the cops would rock in
Nothing could stop me watching I wouldn't give in
Cause from the beginning I was living for the sound
When you walk into the room and the whole crowd singing along
Singing along, they singing along
A new day, a new dawn
A place to forget about the world you're on and get the whole crowd
Singing along, they singing along
You can't change it, it's set in stone
And I ain't saying we need to get along
Just let the whole crowd sing it
Well, well look what we got here
We here to lock ears like ruggedous rottweilers
And well then why would I stop here
The day I stopped hearing the haters it got clearer
And I feared as a bearded Ned Kelly
If I would stop selling could never just stop telling em my story
Pauly walked up in here with nothing
Enough to never trust another loving Jimmy Loughnan
Cause I got these friends that will stick around
If it ever ended were there in the beginning
And then these friends in the crowd I'm surrounded by,
Together we all sing it
Singing along, they singing along
A new day, a new dawn
A place to forget about the world you're on and get the whole crowd
Singing along, they singing along
You can't change it, it's set in stone
[Verse 1: Dazastah]
Rest in peace to the innocent children who were shot in the back
Running from the military, Junta hot on their tracks
For the love that why their uncle packs a bomb in their bags
What the fuck, you'd do the same with no options in hand
So stop with the wack raps you illiterate stale
Horse shit, you just a piss in the gale force winds
Battling me like I have to start busting for you
I'm like a suspect package, I got nothing to prove
Fuck it, I'll serve you straight from the kitchen
And kill your fly shit like Norman Bates with a pigeon
Listen. I'm deaf and blind to your fallacy war
Like a land mine child victim all bandaged and sore
Damage and break you down until your spirit is vanquished
Like traditional ownership does to indigenous factions
It's more than just black and white, like racism
Cause the face of hate appears when you face the mirror
This more than people starving to eat
Cause food for thought is running short in this marketed scene
It's hard to believe when you feel like smashing the mirror
But Charlie Chimp will pick you up like an angry gorilla
[Verse 2: Ciecmate]
Yeah I'm back in that pattern...
I sit up late with a spliff and wait for the magic to happen
Just for rapping wack you're catchin a slappin
I'll put you under pressure like a pilot with cracks in his cabin
Have another shot, see if you can take this spot
I'm a play strategically and take everything you got
Ciecmate! Game over, now you know the deal
Here with my bro's and we're pro's in our chosen fields
Standing tall like a wall to wall, public letter blockbuster
Got a lust for life, plus a lot of love for those I trust with my life
I'm a live my life like I like on any given night and anything else isn't right
Time's ticking by, time's making changes, time's turning friends into strangers
I'm trying to find what the aim is, but time's limited
I've gotta make payments and for everyone, everyday it's the same shit
Big brother wants us all to put it in a statement
But it's built on lies like the Bush administration
The media be feeding ya and we just believe it huh?
Behind the curtain men are getting greedier
We need to peel the curtain back and hurt em bad
And then spread the wealth around to all those who've been getting held down
Can I get some help now? Or can I get a hell yeah?
I'm saying this for everybody's welfare
[Hook:]
"... now, may these MC's rest in peace"
"Rest in peace"
[Big Daddy Kane:] "may these MC's rest in peace
Because when I come to town, the population decrease"
[Verse 3: Drapht]
Rest in peace, two thousand and six shit changes quickly
Def to all man so I'm trained in lip read
Pick me like a gypsy picking a pocket
Depict me like David Hicks holding that rocket
A mix breed of Scottish and a modern day Australia's
Home but Mundine treats us like an alien, no
Man fuck that
Singing Waltzing Matilda with my rucksack
Cut back on the ego, leave rap to the albino
Rip you quicker than teeth wrapped around a T-bone
See know evil speech insightful
Solid gold heat like Hussein's rifle
I'm spiteful, only loyal if it's like that
Starve man's best friend, he's gonna bite back
What, it's just the way that it is
Dig your grave like letting Michael J. play with your kids
I can't live in this world full of rock heads
Finding a good one like finding the Loch Ness
Monster, and not Kody Scott
But down for my team and known what I got
When it's my shot, take it never look back
Or ever make it, dedicated to my fate a known gladiator
Yeah your favourite, I run with wind
Pauly Poltergeist and the Brothers Grimm, yeah you know me
[Verse 4: Trials]
Rest in peace bottom feeders, the scourge of the earth
Proof God doesn't need us, from fetus to birth
First. my mums didn't plan me, so meet plan b
The worker bee, Ron Burgendy where the pants be
Quite a big deal, 90 something kilo
Aim for the best but got Shaq at the free throw
Overweight. Shit I can't hold a job but I can hold a steak
Wash it down with a bunch of brown bottles
Plutonic made it for snake charmers
The bass bang harder than face planting in chain armour
Heavy metal, hammers banging the hang over
In my headspace, until it's dead weight
Until the next day, return of the Jedi
Sun up to sun down, return of the red eye
Dr Jekyl, Mr Trials
[Verse 1:]
Check it out ah, ya, ya
From the moment we met, I was breathless
And not asbestos breathless either,
Always, when you least expect it,
Stumble across Rapunzel a Libra,
Couldn't leave, I had to meet her,
Greet the girl of my dreams with a kiss on the hand,
What up? Little magnificent missing a man,
Ran away, like kids to a van (Yeah!)
So gorgeous, walking on water,
Sort of like Erin McNaught, but little shorter,
Wore a Pandora, bought her a charm,
Wasn't short of thought – bit of Paul on her arm,
Calling for calm, we fought, made Iraq
And the border of Jordan a walk in the park,
Jaws of a shark, too hard to break it off,
Fall apart, so I would say:
[Chorus:]
Rapunzel, gotta let your hair down,
Girl, gotta let your hair down,
I'm tired of fighting,
We ain't going nowhere now
Gotta let your hair down,
Girl, gotta let your hair down,
Why we trying?
We ain't going nowhere now
[Verse 2:]
And even she could see,
Her love was like a demolition derby,
I was Herbie, the love-bug, swerving,
Cause I work on the road,
She was like Russell the Crow,
A jerk with her phone!
Know that I don't wanna fight –
Another night, chewing off my ear, like Mike,
Another night ruined, I knew it,
Knew you would do it,
Scream when I'm out, like Hewitt,
You were the one, you were the one that ran away,
Like underlay, underlay,
Then break it off, but come running back,
Like baby, I want you back, but don't call me that,
Now baby, baby,
Baby, don't call me baby-baby,
I said, baby-baby, don't call me baby,
Baby-baby
[Chorus:]
Gotta let your hair down,
Girl, gotta let your hair down,
I'm tired of fighting,
We ain't going nowhere now
Gotta let your hair down,
Girl, gotta let your hair down,
Why we trying?
We ain't going nowhere now
[Verse 3:]
Na, I'm just sick of you saying my friends are above you,
You knew, when you were with me,
But you were lost in watching Sex and the City,
And what did you give me?
Your lips moving, but nothing coming out, like Britney!
And, what, did you lose it?
No, trust: every movement watched, like Truman,
Only human, I ain't a saint, but don't cheat when I'm in the game,
And still you know, you know no, you know you don't know me,
Die from the photos I got, like Dodi,
My own Naomi Campbell, I try to help, she fly off the handle:
No more candles, no more dinner, no more, I'm fat
I could look a little thinner,
Where's my Cinderella, my little Bella?
Hard, but I had to tell her, so I'd say, yeah, so I'd say,
I keep tellin' her, I keep tellin' her:
[Chorus:]
Rapunzel, gotta let your hair down,
Girl, gotta let your hair down,
I'm tired of fighting,
We ain't going nowhere now
Gotta let your hair down,
Girl, gotta let your hair down,
Why we trying?
We ain't going nowhere now
[Hook: {Old vocals sample}]
"Think I'll put on a record" [x4]
[Chorus:]
Put on a record
Think I'll put on a record
Think I'll put on a record
Let it spin again, again, again, again
Then I'll
Put on a record
Think I'll put on a record
Think I'll put on a record
Until the end, the end, the end, the end, the end...
[Verse 1:]
Think I'm a put on a record, reckon you wanna recognise
I'm a wrecking ball, wreck a site recollect the vibe
Excercise CD's, put it in your deck and drive
Jeopardise freedom, might not be a second time
Petrified as the pressure rise like the petrol price
I'm the next in line like Bin Laden's fifty second wife
Step inside the mind, mine so electrifying
Check the time, dropping biters quicker than insecticide
A Dr Jekyll hiding behind the mind of Hyde
Can't turn a blind eye like Alqueda buying dynamite
Still tryna write, still tryna find the time
When you sign the line - meet more dicks than a virgina's life
A silent night, when I recite a line my lips bleed
The darkest in my family like Lionel Richie
A nineteen sixty transfixing melody
Rise the sick from the cemetery, the only remedy is...
[Bridge:]
Hear the DJ spin the track
Come back around like a winner's lap
Never would you wanna get sick of that
Rewind that shit, yep bring it back
Hear the DJ spin the track
A cinematic diplomat
Kicking back, drink gin or Jacks
Rewind that shit and bring it back
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Just let it play, feel vibrations through your vertebrae
Dieing to stay the highest like you were Brazil's murder rate
Exterminate all you nerd and hating sherminators
Percolated coffee, rock at night in this nocturnal age
Turn the page still unpaid, I'm paid in paper clips
The pain of being played while I'm praying to the plagiarist
The turntablist razor blade blood
Cutting quicker than Darth Vadar did to his own son
Run with hunger like goldilocks holding the rock
And me and rap we rap together like Holden and Brock, what?
It's the music, it makes your mood move with the wind
Quicker than a little you with some voodoo pins
So we
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Imprisoned in this song's composition
A vision with every listen the listener can picture
A situation, some over rated/over played like Neighbours
Some play then lead off the stage like Ray is (BOOOOOO)
Everyday the same play, the same the shit on TV
What yah gonna watch you're lost in Simpsons repeats
Knee deep in monkey see, monkey do
Now we up to the month of June, what up with you? Nothing new
Proven time is short, fuck it man what's mine is yours
Wise words from a dinosaur, still feels like ninety four
Vinyl forces out all the memories you swallowed in
Riders of the storm given life to Jim Morrison
Coroners report dead walking around the corodor
A common law bumping Mortar Graphic Tomahawk
If a graffers bombing or running from an under cover's Commodore
When you're home there's nothing that you want more than
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Hook: {Vocals}]
"Put on a record
Think I'll fix myself some dinner
Picture this: two thirty on the hottest night in June
He awaits for no reason and checks his watch by the moon
And his mouth feels as dry as his eyes as he struggles to rise
And stops to contemplate his [wife's?] eyes as he does up his flies
He finds his slippers where he left them under the chair
Behind the two cups and an old copy of Marie Claire
And he switches on the coffee machine that, of course, works like a dream
Catches sight of his reflection in the silver surface sheen
And it's a face he knows well, although it should look less abused,
With all these moisturisers and the skin products he used
As he moves through the kitchen his homage to brush steel,
Across the new pine flooring that's plastic but looks real
Past the plasma with the wide screen and cinema surround sound
And he stops at his favourite spot by the window and looks down
On the orange lit street at the edge of the private car park
Where his Audi TT is waiting safely in the dark (safely in the dark)
Keeping it all inside of you (inside of you)
Something will have to give
And if you could, you'll take it back
But you lose your way in the way you live
Now he can hear windchimes tinkling out on the balcony
And his phone beeping out a text message in the same key
He checks it and it's Jill who used to be his secretary
Before they started an affair and things began to get really scary
Now his wife Mary's getting wary of his lies
Like she's read the whole sordid story in his eyes
It doesn't help that Jill's now saying that she's two weeks late,
His mental state is really starting to deteriorate
He never knew how he got so out of his depth
Or why he's broken more than all these promises kept
And it's been ages since he's slept properly
His sleep's now broken by these dreams of extra marital activity
Trying to recapture the rapture he used to get
From his material possessions and endless retail therapy sessions
Should have listened to what his dad said before he died
"The best things in life are the ones you can't buy, son"
Keeping it all inside of you (inside of you)
Something will have to give
Wish you could buy a ticket back (a ticket back)
But you lose your way in the way you live
He used to feel so safe up here in his shrine to Ikea
Away from the shouts and the louts, and the girls with the overpainted pouts
And the queers and the dykes and the kids in their box-fresh Nike's
Delivering rocks to the house across the street on rusty mountain bikes
He used to feel so safe up here in his shrine to Ikea
Away from the shouts and the louts, and the girls with the overpainted pouts
And the queers and the dykes and the kids in their box-fresh Nike's
The road ahead is going nowhere
Fast the light is red
Looks like I'm gonna crash
I've lost all direction
Right is left and up is down
So here's my soul confession
Right now check it out
[Chorus:]
I wanna lose control
I'm ready to let go
Call me crazy
I've made up my mind
To kiss the past goodbye
Come and change me
What took so long for me
To let you in
Was I too cool
To let you be my friend
I've given up completely
Everything is upside down
I need your love to lead me
Right now check it out
I've finally figured it out
What this life's all about
Know what I've gotta do
It's time to lose control to you
I wanna lose control
I'm ready to let go
Let's take it back to 1982 just quickly
I came into this world, and my Ma thought
I'm a name this little boy Paul
Plain old boring old Paul
And I always thought
If I had a different name, would my life be different?
Like
Imagine if I had a name like Jimmy Recard
Evolved from the joke of a com'
The king of the cards
King of the castle
King of the barstool
Liked by all known but he thinks he's an arsehole
Pass the parcel to Jimmy
Everybody pass quicker then getting off with a glass of kill Kenny
If anything, Jimmy's a man of the millennium
No two men can better him, not even
Lenny and Carl
I put a penny in the jar
I swear he's rarer
Singing [?] in your mini bar
Face at the cinema
Like Andy Garcia
But compared to Jimmy, Andy's so last year!
Brassieres, are thrown at his feet
Ladies love him 'cause he's got a little dimple in his cheek
(Bleurgh, yeah yeah yeah) Making me sick to my stomach
And there's nothing you can do
You gotta love him (You gotta love him!)
It's
[Chorus:]
J.R., Jimmy Recard!
Raise your glass for the king of the bar
It's J.R., Jimmy Recard!
Women swinging their bras, ladies swinging their bra
For J.R., Jimmy Recard!
All my people singing hoorah hoorah
For J.R., come and get down with J.R.
He was always in the right place at the right time
Had a lifeline
Wiser than 95% of the sci-fi
Four doors and his collar popped down like they should be
Living the life that of Lano and Woodley
And it could be 'cause he had the world in his palm
Every week a different girl on his arm
His mum a doctor, dad a rockstar
Concoct a little something, nine months, who popped out?
[Chorus]
The J, the I, the M, the M, the Y, the J, the I, the M
It's Jimmy! It's Jimmy!
The J, Jimmy, no matter what
The I, Jimmy, no matter what
The M, Jimmy, no matter what
It's Jimmy!
Yeah, check
It's like everything he touches
Turns to gold, it's amazing
Destiny on his side like Jay-Z pushing up daisies
A breath of fresh air, the best there is
Like getting in the electric chair and live
Untouchable
He never perish
Reason my life is full
He was the fairest of them all
Like mirror mirror on the wall
Like Wirrpanda on the ball
Mum comes up with Paul
When there's names like Jimmy
Any plan or gimmick
Every man will mimic
Jimmy
Open up my doors in the chimney
That's why he's always fucking swimming in his winnings
The names ringing in your ears man isn't it?
Living in jealousy like a prisoner to visitors
He was oblivious
A sunshine day and night
Would my luck change if I was given a name like
Almost cured of sadness
Almost cured
Almost
Almost cured of sadness mother fucker
Al almost cured
Almost
Almost cured of sadness mother fucker
Almost cured almost
Almost cured of sadness mother fucker
Almost cured
Almost
Aaaaggggggggggggggggghhhhhh
I feel like a zombie, slumber's beyond me, nights getting longer, long as Luke Longley,
Smallest sound is like a kombi van, back firing, was a comedy camera hired up in on this nightmare, nah I wish it was a nightmare, then a least I'd be asleep in my... bed,
My eyes bright red, feel like death by bed, weighed down cause my heads like lead,
Like Ned Kelly belly up, nothing stops me getting up, from weed paraphernalia or taking valium, I tried it, every herbal remedy diet, from reading to writing, nothing makes me tired.
My mind racing, sleep deprivation, the only one awake playing the waiting game, I'm facing the sun in an hour, everyone seems to be sound asleep.
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
It's just me and the sounds of police on the street
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
No retreat cause I never thought it'd happen to me
Feel like I'm in a parallel, paranoid, paradise, every word on repeat like a parrots life,
Every beat in my head starts to paralyse, Fahrenheit rising, feeding the parasites, like a satellite analyse the world cause I'm up again, antagonised by every gust of wind, must have been a comatose in my last life, now I lie awake like puffin on a glass pipe, can't hide and tryna count sheep, count three thousand and thirty three man pleaaaaase I need my z's, I'm tossing and turning, determined to kill Tyler Durban and beat the... Insomnia... Insomnia...
Strands of light on the bedroom floor... Strands of light on the bedroom floor...
I'm locked on nocturnal, can't watch the clock or stop the time turning, nothing that the doctor concocts is working, only the warlock can drop the curse on this earthling, the worst thing I work in three hours, can only scream like a werewolf howling, hope I'm powered by moonlight soon might, my crew are like? sucks to be you right?, too right yeah sucks to me friend, it's monotony like trying to find the seas end, deep breathing I plead for a little sleep, I pass fatigue now I questioning my beliefs, I can't believe it.
Can't remember the last eight hours sleep I had, all this anxiety is bad, my brain won't stop, find ya losing track of the days when you got...
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
It's just me and the sounds of police on the street
Insomnia
I can't eat, feeling the heat, can't sleep
Insomnia
This is my first confession my father it's
So hard spilling my heart like Gaza strip
So far I'm scarred like it's part of skin
It's carved in by anger my cardinal sin
My heart large as lion
The stingers bar had to hit Steve now I believe in dieing
I need your guidance
Need the light that whiter then silas needing your vibrance
To silence the violent voices the poison
Avoid the poison the paranoid choices destroying
The gift of life that you gave me
Maybe a kiss goodnight from your lady
The meaning of life
Then why would you make a world where yah scream help they hide?
Know why cause life's a bitch
And I'm still here gotta thank God for it oooowwwwww!
But I'm falling what else can I say I'm fading away
I'm fading away, I'm fading away
I'm falling what else can I say I'm fading away
I'm fading away, I'm fading away
It's been two years since the last time we spoke
I broke the codes of the cannon law you wrote
The stone carved commandments
Feels outlandish live by the laws or vanish
Banished to pandora's box
If I'm really sorry and brandish a cross am I lost
For my life time yeah you watch as my witness
Done some real dumb drunk shit need your forgiveness
A sickness yeah it's self inflicted my world revolved around girls
An Egyptian curse an addiction swimming in sex
Ma said show women the respect they deserve
Six six six isn't fiction either listen or your existence will burn
Or the tables will turn on you
Those ladies are humans too you abused that
And I know that did it for amusement
Now it's on my back like a baboon grooming
I'm assuming yah losing yah patience
If I regain your grace will I have a place in your kingdom
Or am I facing extinction
The day where the human race starts sinking
Is near will yah pardon my heart almighty
I'm just another part of society I'm sorry
Yeah I've lied and I've stole from thy neighbour
My fornicated way yeah I played up
I haven't made a Sunday mass since twelve
Will I ever leave this world
Yeah I've lied and I've stole from thy neighbour
My fornicated way yeah I played up
My behaviour is blasphemy
Will all come back to me I'll have to wait and see
But I'm falling what else can I say I'm fading away
I'm fading away, I'm fading away
I'm falling what else can I say I'm fading away
[Verse 1:]
It's gotta be the first drip as it hits my tounge I'm still young but I need more than a sip of rum to run amok, the dumb shits done when I'm boozie you abuse looseley never enough to amuse me,
Like bruce lee one inch punch is so topical, rocking unstoppable beer goggles never optional, optical illusion, optimal with every word off the top of the dome can't remember my verse and it gets worse down here with every swig, zig zag when I step I gotta get jiggy jig,
Dig my hole deeper sleeperhold knockout I don't ever learn my lesson like a high school dropout,
Gotta rock her every weekend two and sleep and exposing your fakes like pamela going streaking
Reeking the benefits a hole in the pocket wanna take it all back but there's no sign of the docket can't stop her,
Better lock your doors when u see me had to much to drink and nothings safe not your tv, your dvd's, no one can read me my rights flee the scene looking flash on your brand new bike
And the nights still young run through your servo leave with pockets filled with porn but do I look concerned... no,
Turbo wordflow "gotta show me the party bras", "you and no crew", "nah it's gotta be all of us"
[Chorus:]
Drink drank drunk, the room starts to spin looking like ghost with see through skin,
Drink drank drunk, getting outta hand on top of the world thinking I'm the man,
Drink and drank till my legs don't work over a hundred ladies have said I was a jerk,
Drink and drank I'm hitting the bottle had waking up in the morning no cash no cards
[Verse 2:]
Outta control rolling with war or the big guest totally fucking loaded could never pass a piss test
A big mess made in a matter of seconds shooting off my mouth truth is and made for the weapon messing with the motions the potion maing me love sick looking through my fone for any lady to hook up with
... HELLO...
You up miss nah you know they never are so what is it you wearing girl that lacy little leather bra let's get it together girl lover makes a better world sing you a symphonetta and give you a set of pearls "a set what"

Hey big spender what ya mean you've been misslead got money of a mizzo and habit of a piss head my lips red raw my eyes are so blood shot keep drinking by the truck lot could end up in a mug shot
[Chorus:]
Drink drank drunk, the room starts to spin looking like ghost with see through skin,
Drink drank drunk, getting outta hand on top of the world thinking I'm the man,
Drink and drank till my legs don't work over a hundred ladies have said I was a jerk,
Drink and drank I'm hitting the bottle had waking up in the morning no cash no cards
[Verse 3:]
There's more to me than just being drunk and dissordely I oughta be in bed normally never order water instead of an alcholic beverage giving you the confidence to walk up to the hottest girl and give her a compliment "what up girl"
The mood swings just got time to duck the honeymoon seems to be over and I'm running out of luck I'm in the dead shed the red blood of a scottish man how was he like kelly osbourne so I demolish cans of liquor sick of ricocheting of every person sick of them trying to fight me cause they reckon I disturbed them pee wee herman verse the hulk hogan hero one push up fly further than rio de janero
Here we go again another drunken scenerio night on the town head spinning like a merry go round every where I go bound to get messy and I'm never going to stop till the cops come and arrest me
No more bottles on top of the wall now can't see in front of me I'm about to fall down watch watch out I gotta get home better keep clear when draphts on the road
No more bottles on top of the wall now can't see in front of me I'm about to fall down watch out watch out you better keep clear cause I'm way to drunk to steer
[Chorus:]
Drink drank drunk, the room starts to spin looking like ghost with see through skin,
Drink drank drunk, getting outta hand on top of the world thinking I'm the man,
Drink and drank till my legs don't work over a hundred ladies have said I was a jerk,
[Sample: {Vocals}]
"In the evening when I wake up
And my golden rainbow dawns
In the proceeding moments just revolve, I lose myself"
[Verse 1:]
Is this a dream or reality, how do we tell the difference...
Every day seemed like Christmas, now it's Halloween
Galleries with blank canvas, gallivant ran
Through the valley for a Salary that grants me
Successful in this majestic culture
Survive if you're high like the nest of a vulture
Pauly Poltergeist, a voltage of lighting
Not scared to strike twice like assaultings from bikies
I'm hiking with a viking mind state
Hunt to feed his family, the life of a primate
I'm just a tired ape, lie awake late
No sleep when ya life's fate decided on a break
Is this a nightmare? Pinch my hand and breathe
Feel like I'm getting lynched by my girl's family
I gotta dream and it might seem thin
But I couldn't breathe without it, it's my Siamese twin
[Chorus:]
I sleep no more, dream with eyes open
No more pills and no more potion
No more being woken up
By the explosion when the commotion errupts
I sleep no more, dream with eyes open
No more pills and no more potion
No more being woken up
By the man dumping his shit, unloading his truck
I sleep no more
[Verse 2:]
Absence of occupation isn't rest
... a mind vacant is another mind of distress
... no rest for the wicked, yeah we could just kick it
Or we could fucken stick it to the man
Is this life, I'm watching bum's rifle threw rubbish
Malnourished, another vicious growl from their stomachs
How rubbish, another vicious row with the government
Rummage through our cans and the council ain't loving it
Nothing under this sun done change
Monday to Sunday, life's mundane
In one day Mundine took down Green
In one day a stingray took our Steve
Proven even our hero's are human
Proven some come dumber than Sam Newman
Ya loose, ya win, loose again
Is this life the booze or hallucinogen
So I move with the wind like willow
But sin like bellow, my head hits the pillow
And I'm gone, out for the count like Drak
Bounce and I'm out like that, do ya feel me
Yeah is this a dream
Jump from a bridge, will I hit the street or wake up
It just seems
That I'm wasting my time praying for something greater
Yeah is this a dream
Will I be the man that I wanted to be as a kid
It's not how it seems
Don't wanna be remembered as another man that lived
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Rest is excellent but bordom is his brother
Death his cousin, age is his mother
Cover your eyes, go to sleep sweet heart
But when you wake you might find the grim reaper
Standing at the end of your bed demanding to be fed
Your soul sucked from that hole in ya head
Not even Ned Kelly's armour could save ya
The arm of the saviour lay ya to rest, so save ya breath
To say your prayers even Satan says
Realities a very sad state of affairs
So beware of the screaming hyenas
And only sleep seperates the dreams from the dreamers
[Chorus]
"In the evening when I wake up"
I dream with eyes, I dream with eyes open
I sleep no more
"In the evening when I wake up"
I dream with eyes, I dream with eyes open
You don't remember what to say, don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go, don't remember what to choose,
You will, you steal, you feel, you'll kneel
Down down down down
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
[x2]
Seen the rain cloud followed me for years
But never would let it bother me
Now when the lightning cracks
I think I would never be where I'm at
Cause it had an impact growing up
Think back I was way too young then to know enough
About the liberty my mum had given me
Then the reaper stole her soul [?],
My first friend I ever knew of
The worst thing forgot about him when I grew up,
Cause when we went and moved away to Broom, Perth
Wasn't doing much, not for the two of my parents,
Staring the journey in the eye,
We drove 4 days and then 3 nights and just like that
We started a new life and just like that
On a bus watching fights, and maybe we'd fight back
Till one of them stayed down, it wasn't the right track
If this is my playground, the day drowned out
The years passed by now just found out
My mum and dad needed time out,
Why now, we just settling in and then we fly out, never together again
Could have severed a limb with the pain,
Could have pointed the blame but I will not kneel
Down down down down
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down
[x2]
I was twelve nah actually I think I was thirteen,
Well darker the day that I first seen
The hell mark in the arm of my friend couldn't tell
But it felt like a part of me ended
Depended on crew to lead the way
They sent the wrong message and lead us astray
I was able to see the phase was fatal,
Some crave the painful life and they pay full price
For direction, addiction, attraction
Every little restriction fell through the cracks in the pavement
A slave to the underwhelmed,
Wasn't one to tell them that it was dumb as hell,
And the summer melt them so they stayed in the shade,
Get burnt playing with fire, get cut playing with razors,
Amazing how all changes,
Amazing how all the popular bullies became lamers,
It's a page in the chapter of the living,
Have to put in practice when your rap's unforgiven,
But far the times, stars inline, then you missed your chance
But you can not kneel down
Down down down down
I ain't gonna kneel on down, I ain't gonna kneel on down

We party, party, party, we party Bali style
With girls that shake their body, like we in Carnival
We party, party, party
Another hot night
In another world, with another girl who takes it off like
[DRAPHT]
What up what, we jumped off a plane to a place
So hot but can watch the rain washing away the weight
It's sort of like watching teh way Heather Graeme skates
If you're saving yourself for the marriage, not a good idea to come here
A day in the sun and one beer
Girls running around in their underwear
Wear what you wanna, whenever
Never a bouncer to tell you to wear that collar, or leather shoes
And I never, do and never will ever
Be changing my get-up for you, or you, or you
Won't change just to wait up in a long arse line
You, you, I aint changing for you
Let me try one more time...
Where the fuck you at?
[NFA]
Man I don't know where I'm at
Them girls ran off with my sombrero hat
And I don't care about that she be bringing it back
I'm No Fixed Abode all across the map
Go with the flow like soda splashing
Full moon high we get to dancing
Make virgins fly like Mr. Branson
Party on the beach swaray in mansion
[CHORUS]
We party, party, party, we party Bali style
With girls that shake their body, like we in Carnival
We party, party, party
Another hot night
In another world, with another girl who takes it off like
[DRAPHT]
What up what up, clap to the beat
And the girls gotta move them feet
What up what up, clap to the beat
And the guys you can grab your drink I aint gonna get mad
[NFA]
Yeah come on move it around
If you like that clap right now
Yeah I said move it around
And if you like that clap right, break it down
See I don't sit Draught
But me and Drapht be chilling at the bar
With a senorita with the fattest arse
[DRAPHT]
Yeah I'd like to sink my set of Dracula's into that
Coming out swinging, but, gotta bring a little bit of Jimmy back
'Cause she aint gonna give me a chance when my best move on the D-floor is the sprinkler dance ahhh
[CHORUS]
We party, party, party, we party Bali style
With girls that shake their body, like we in Carnival
We party, party, party
Another hot night
In another world, with another girl who takes it off like
We party, party, party, we party Bali style
With girls that shake their body, like we in Carnival
We party, party, party
Another hot night
Cease and desist
I don't think that I'll miss
All the straight laced mind games
Following us around
Cease and desist
I don't think that I'll miss
Feeling so wasted and wanting more
Every second out...
Cause it had me worn
Down to nothing but torn pieces
Reaching beaches
Not even sure if it was dry land
But the tide is out
And I got my feet down
The farther you get
The harder it seems to get
To keep up with things
Some days it's hard to just keep yourself moving
But the tide is out
Never said it's easy
I never said it's better on your own
I never said that you could make it last
And there'll be time to be strong
But maybe this isn't one of them
But you can bet that all of this will pass
I never tried to please you
Telling you that anyone belongs anywhere
Cause we never have
But I never said we need to
I never thought that really anyone ever gets
To look back and laugh
But here's to jokes we never got and we never will
We're out of tune
We're telling jokes we never got and never will
So here's to jokes we never got and never will
Now it's coming back again
And I should've known
Cause I'm home and on my own
But armed to the teeth
And it's all a mystery
And it sneaks up on me
And scares the shit out of me
And I'm pissed that I'm awake looking for a reason
It's not what I wanna do
With just a little break I could be sleeping
By the time it gets to me
It's on it's own
With no way to figure out where it's coming from
It's such a mystery
And this shit beats on me
It beats on everybody
And I'm pissed that I'm awake looking for a reason
It's not what I wanna do
With just a little break I could be sleeping
It's all news to me
All of this is news to me
Cause now we're on our own
It's the last place left to go
He's a wreck
But let him settle in
And all the rest of the pieces
Will fall in
And all that's left of his life
Will haunt him and
Her last breath will be where it begins
Cause they bring him back
To counter-attack
This is not the end
There's plenty more
I've seen it before
The end's where it begins
And that's what I like about it
It's not so complicated if you go right through
It's the best part of all this
Cause we have been left for dead
In our own fucking beds
Forced to start again
With new eyes open
The end's where it begins
And that's what I like about it
It's not so complicated if you go right through
The decisions made never go away
But they're misunderstood
It's not looking good
But that's what I like about it
The disassociated testing
Of the fletching
Like a surgery of shaky hands
And patient baby steps
Could take you to another place
To where the love you know you could leave
And take it all back
Another damn heart attack
I'm trying to contain it
But everything I think about is far away
And that's where it always seems to be
It's time to get back
It's hard to understand
But I'm banking on a long shot
Not picking from one through ten
I'm solid as a number
I got all the time you need, so kick it off
I made it through in just one piece, and that's good enough
And I got all the time you need
Whether or not you can believe that the wait is finally through
Just look at us
Cause I got mine
It's true
With bitter laughs I bring some news
Of better things for me and you
With bitter laughs I bring some news
That we're allowed now
Put the pieces back in place if they fall out
Let your mind float into space, if it wants out
Cause you got all the time you need
Take all you want, cause it's free
As are we
Me and you
Just look at us
Cause I got mine
It's true
With bitter laughs I bring some news
Of better things for me and you
With bitter laughs I bring some news
The first thing that I heard at 6AM, the words
Waking up and coming in. Like they were ants
To my life, but I hope you are set to go.
I hope you're all set to go.
'Cause we're going alive or dead or in a million pieces
Just wasting away, watch it all fade
To black as it goes by the window.
Take it away, it's another day.
The last thing that I said, I was wishing for a bed
With my hands around my head, the last night on my breath,
It's all right 'cause I'm ready and set to go.
I'm ready and set to go.
We're going alive or dead or in a million pieces
Just wasting away, watch it all fade
To black as it goes by the window.
Take it away, it's another day.
Are you alive or dead or in a million pieces?
Or wasting away? Watch it all fade
To black as it goes by the window.
I'm sick of all these people
Telling me that they got some better way
And I just can't see it
Cause there's no burning bridges blinding me
I see it all and I just don't need it
Cause I'm not laying on my back and no
I'm not pushing daisies up from me
It's fine if you think I'm just waiting
I couldn't get any more frustrated
My credit cards hire companies
To figure out how to get some more of me
And I won't lie unless you ask me to
But I take what I got, I'm warning you
I got a secret for you,
If you're about to lose your mind,
It is fine.
And if you're feeling stranded here,
Then you're just feeling a lack of soul.
It's your call.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time when I leave this town.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time that I leave this town.
Wired!
We're covered in dust, and everything here
Is starting to play tricks with our minds.
But it's fine.
If the build seems unsteady,
It can be just solace sometimes,
It is fine.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time when I leave this town.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time that I leave this town.
It's been so long,
Spin me round.
We're holding on tight but we,
We just keep falling down.
It's been so long,
Spin me round.
We're holding on tight but we,
We just keep falling down.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time when I leave this town.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time that I leave this town.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time that I leave this town.
Wired, wired.
I cough when I leave,
Sick every time that I leave this town.
Got twenty-five in the bank, and three on me, you know.
Five cigarettes gonna have to last the night, you know.
'Cause the money that I had's been spent too much,
You try to make it last, but it never does,
And I've been smoking just way too much, I'm sure you know.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole.
Getting real sick of getting used to this, you know.
Can't remember it any different, I'm sure you know.
'Cause I spent a lot of days and nights
And those moments that I had with Lo Zee Rose,
Looking for a place that I should know by now, you know.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole.
Got twenty-five in the bag, three on me, you know.
Five cigarettes gonna have to last the night, you know.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's burning a black hole right through me.
Burn away, burn away,
It's okay
It'll be alright
Okay?
Just might be better off this way...
It's slow,
And I, for one, am ready
Just might be better off this way...
We'll never know
It might take a while,
But I can't wait
The rotten air's stunk up the place
For so long that I'm half gone already
Just might be better off this way...
We'll never know
No, we'll never know
Alone to figure out our chances
Testing out all out inventions
Taking all the changes on
Roads to different destinations
Resting on our good intentions
Never will get us on our way
Don't be afraid to step inside.
We'll get it right one of these times,
cause the ones they thought they put to bed
are up and dancing on their heads the whole night.
Hey, it's just another night,
and it's ok if we're up all night,
cause we'll lock all the doors,
till morning reddens our eyes.
We're gonna pay for this in time.
But you wanna live, you have to die.
Cause as soon as we lay down to rest
the ringing starts inside our heads.
You feel like death, but you know that you're alive.
You're alive, and it's ok if we're up all night,
cause we'll lock all the doors till morning reddens our eyes.
No will to crawl.
So shake it off.
That's how I hope to be.
And it's ok if we're up all night
cause we'll lock all the doors,
It's worthless.
You know all this time is worthless.
Got me stuck in line waiting for it.
Got my hand stuck out cause I want it.
Stop wastin' my time, I got some place to go.
It's bullshit.
It's bullshit, but I'll repeat it.
Ain't got enough sense just to leave it.
Got my tongue tied up, I can feel it.
Stop wastin' my time.
Stop lockin' me out.
Been locked outside.
Stop wastin' my time, I got some place to go.
It's foolish to act like it's still working.
I can see the things that are broken,
and it's way too much just to forget.
But I got a mind to ignore it,
and i don't know why.
Baby, I must be losing my mind.
Yeah, it's broken...
but baby, it's mine.
Stop wastin' my time.
Stop lockin' me out.
Been locked outside.
Uh... Draft... Freak
[Chorus:]
It ain't about this it ain't about that it's about a check
If you don't like then
Kiss my black Amex
It's time time to settle the debts people place your bets
If you don't like then
Kiss my black Amex
I got a buck pucker up and
Kiss my black Amex
Shawty knows what's up and
Kiss my black Amex
It's all about a dollar
Kiss my black Amex
So let me hear you holla
Kiss my black Amex
[Draft:]
I got mad bucks I hit the stash up and spend that cash up
And use my new black Amex card for backup
Ain't no need to stack up I just hit Saks up
And treat it like a pool table and rack up
This is how it go: Put the merchandise on the counter
Then slap the black card down like a domino
Just ask Ben and Big Mo
Walking a day in my shoes is like slippin and fallin in a pot of gold
The money I make is just plain irate
If I don't rap no more from this dayforward I'm straight
I can get me a G5, a Land Rov, a Bentley
And that's just all off one day
Vintage '87 I hit the reverend charge
All my blessings and pay my way to heaven
A hundred million spent with nothing to show for it
I can run through money but I can never run out of it
[Chorus]
[Draft:]
Check it out
C & P jeans fresh fetus tee custom sneaks I'm dressed to a T
White socks fitted F Record pendant Carnivo sippin Cuban cigar clippin
Crib in the Hamptons loft in the city '08 Iconic Claudio himself sent me
You should see how many women it gets me
Somewhere between a whole lot and too many
With the black Amex I don't have a price range
I tried to buy the world but they didn't have enough change
At the United Center sittin next to dame
Last time I did that they almost put me in the game
It's a shame cause my main chick can even get charged
But shawty it ain't nothin to buy me a new broad
So if you wanna act like a retard kiss my black Amex card
[Chorus]
[Draft:]
With all these problems
Waiting in the wings
Shouldn't something else be happening?
It's become too clear not to see it
Impossible is nothing
But it takes all of my patience
And it keeps me waiting
Don't tell me it's the right time to pack it up
Don't tell me it's the right time
For a bitter goodbye
This is not the time for wavering
I've waited my whole life just for this
And pulling up stakes just leaves a mess
For someone else to deal with
And it takes all of my patience
And it keeps me waiting
If it's the right time to pack it up
Don't tell me that
Don't tell me that it's the right time
For a bitter goodbye
If it's the right time to pack it up
Don't tell me that
It got into me today
Like acid eating me away
You spent all your life on something
Just to burn it down for nothing
It got into me today
So, what are we waiting on?
It's hard just to be around it all
Just don't ask for something more
It's everything but open war,
And now nothing seems to make sense
And we all get so frustrated
Just don't ask for something more
So, what are we waiting on?
Don't look back till you realize there's a lot still left to lose
I saw a picture of the devil, in the shade,
And there's a lot still left to see.
It's a restless night and I just want you to say you'll come with me
Cause I can't stand feeling paralyzed
And I can't wait for a break
Cause every time that I find myself alone
It's always there waiting for me.
It's a restless night and I just want you to say you'll come with me..
I need an escape, so lock the doors and we'll get away
Give me a place to go
Somewhere I don't know
Give me a place to go
Cause anywhere is better
It's gonna be a long night
And nobody is wasting time,
The wheel of misfortune's come
To refill, it's an atom bomb.
And there's enough here to know
That we might not know where to go.
Though it may just want us gone,
Though we have been all along.
I remember that just like a dream
Opening somewhere in-between.
Closing time, I tried to be your friend,
I'm bordering from lack of oxygen.
It's gonna be a long night,
These drinks (laced with/taste like) cyanide.
The people we know have gone,
Passed out in the parking lot.
I remember that just like a dream
Opening somewhere in-between.
Closing time, I tried to be your friend,
I'm bordering from lack of oxygen
I remember that just like a dream
Opening somewhere in-between.
Closing time, I tried to be your friend,
I'm bordering from lack of oxygen
It's gonna be a long night.
All we can count on is death
But over and over again
There's a pill to swallow
Choose and learn where you will go
Its nature is unsettling
Right when you get tired, it's light
All we can count on is death
But over and over again
There's a road to follow
Only one way to know
Where it will take you
Your eyes only see what you take them to spy
All we can count on is death
But over and over again
You wake and you find a pill to swallow
[Molly]
Just walk to this
Don't be afraid
People walk to this
Just walk to this
Don't be afraid n*gga
Walk to this
Just walk to this
Don't be afraid
Bitches walk to this

Just walk to this
Get on the floor baby
Baby walk to this
Don't be afraid
People walk to this
Walk to this
Get on the floor
People walk to this
Baby walk to this
Don't be afraid
People walk to this
Determined to remove each single thorn from the crown I
was given Bustin' my ass for a handfull of nothing for
far too long All I asked for was some solace,all you
offered Were nails for my casket and a gun for my head
Fuck this life There must be more I burn the card that I
once pulled,there must be more I see it comin' my way
Keep it up,I gotta keep it up,son Can't loose that grip
Won't get a second chance for it Can't loose,can't loose-
I kiss goundzero goodbye Determined to remove each single
thorn from the crown I was given Bustin' my ass for a
handfull of nothing for far too long Inhaling
chaos,breathing out darkness
I'm on a suicide trip Time to turn the curse Await the
last dayz I'm not new to your game It's time to turn the
curse!
I remember driving for hours
dosing off behind the wheel
starring up at the stars in the sky
and asking you how you really feel
(I think of you, I see you smile)
I can still see you smile
(You smile at me I walk away from it)
I can still see you smile
(I think of you, I see you smile)
I can still see you smile
You told me that things would work out
But I can see the hurt in your eyes
Cant remember the last time I cried
But I remember when you said good-bye
(I think of you, I see you smile)
Is this the end we have come to?
(You smile at me I walk away from it)
Is this the end we have come to?
(I think of you, I see you smile)
Is this the end we have come to?
is it so far fetched to let my feelings showyour hands
around my heart but you want to let go
I thought I loved you once
When the moon hit your eyes
Don't say your good bye's... just stay by my side
(Why did you, it's all behind me)
(I can't believe it's only second)
(Why did you? Why did you?)
(Only let me get to second base with you)
Why did you let me get to second base with you?
(I only got to second base with you)
now my hearts so cold
now you're back with your old boy
I hope he loves you like I did
I'm giving back my memories of you
I should've known when you said you would call
So take what you want from me today, I promise that I won't fade away
I never had too much of another type of love to call my own...
Ambitions take control of me, jealousy is making it so hard to see...
Someone is seventeen and feeling down, somebody pick me off the ground
Run away to another day and I'll show you all that I know
Why are you wasting my time?
Telling me there's nothing but doubt in you mind
Something has got to change before we'll be the same
You couldn't have been sadder or madder than me
Tell me what you think about my new friend, girlfriend
you could never have her
like it'd ever matter
ass like a watermelon
tits like a grapefruit
Today I'll think of all the places I have been
And then I'll laugh just like a kid
And you might never walk away... then again maybe today
You can play your little game
So what, so what? (I know exactly what you think)
You'll know exactly when I walk away again
So what, so what? (I thought of everything you'd say)
You'll think about me when you heart's complaining, someone's saying...
That I will get it right this time
Last night, I could not remember anything you said
I guess it's all inside your head
And you might tell me not to dream, criticize what I believe
But I'll be who I must be
These nights they seem as if they were to be our last
I'm betting you're not getting anywhere with your complaining
You say the things you want to talk about, then you come undone
Last time I didn't really mean to shout, but it was fun
Well I said it before and I think I'll say it again
Why do you say those stupid things if I can't win?
But you don't know what's going on inside my head
And you can't understand the pain
Where do all the small kids go to realize that they're not really fake?
I wish I could go there too...
Is there something deep inside that I can't ever seem to forget?
And how do you cry when there's no pain? To me it wasn't just a game
It's over doesn't even seem to count and never would
Last time you said that you knew all about, but never could
Well never ever before and never ever again
What's going on tonightI got that feeling
that something ain't right
All this confusion is dropped upside my head
and something's the matter
When will you
Tell me
You cried in the back room
I touched your hair
I smelled your perfume
Something's the matter in the end
I know this is gonna hurt you. Don't ever think that I meant to
You see it's not my fault that we don't see the same
And all these different voices, another everyday
Will I be the one to stay, or will I walk away?
Feeling like I'm caught up in promises forgotten. Baby, it'll be okay
And all this indecision, a difference of opinion now
And you might be the one to walk away
Oh no, not me. I could never be the one to call you hun
I will never hold your hand again
Oh no not me. Let me be the first to say we're through baby
Another dumb apology hat I never could make
Another night of loneliness, if only for your sake
Let me be the first to tell it to your face and let you know
Will you be there waiting, or will you let it go?
You never thought I had it in to be the only one to let you know
You trade me in like a new fantasythere were no 50's
no fucked up fagabillys
you said let's dance
like there's nowhere else to be
let's do the charleston yeah
what the fuck is that supposed to mean to me
don't wanna be no rockabilly no
don't wanna be no rockabilly
just when I thought I had you
(and now you're gone)
(you trade me in like a new fantasy)
(there were no 50's)
(no fucked up fagabillys)
(you said let's dance)
(like there's nowhere else to be)
(I wish I would've danced)
(I wish I would've danced with you)
don't wanna be no rockabilly no
don't wanna be no rockabilly
just when I thought I had you
(and now you're gone)
