(Dave Hill-Steve Brookes)(Cloth Cap Songs)
This town it's got no soul,
She sleeps with one eye open
They don't like strangers here
So keep on passing through
And if you hear the sound of
Screaming after midnight be sure
You don't stray on the wrong side
Of the tracks, cause tonight there's
A party for those bad guys
Tonight all hell is breaking loose
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
This is the time of year we're cursed
By moonlight madness, and our obsessions
Lead to dancin' on the moor
We're trapped inside a web that's spun
Throughout creation, we act like
Animals awaiting for the kill
Cause tonight there's a party
For these bad guys
Tonight it's the creepy reaper's ball
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
We don't take prisoners here
We eat them all for breakfast
We like a hearty meal before we go to sleep
The rats can pick the bones while
We crawl back in our hell hole
And let the day decide what action
It will take
Cause tonight there's a party for
Those bad guys
Tonight all hell is breaking loose
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
In crazy town you won't like the things you see
Don't hang around here or you'll be hanging from some tree
Roll into town, step off the bus
Shake off the where you came from dust
Grab you guitar, walk down the street
Sign says Nashville, Tennessee
But I have found
It's a crazy town, full of neon dreams
Everybody plays, everybody sings
Hollywood with a touch of twang
To be a star you gotta bang, bang, bang
Bend those strings 'til the Hank comes out
Make all the drunk girls scream and shout
We love it, we hate it, we're all just trying to make it
In this crazy town
Pay your dues, and you play for free
And you pray for a honky tonk destiny
You cut your teeth in the smoky bars
And live off the tips from a pickle jar
'Til you find a cool new sound
And you smile when the record man shoots you down
It's a crazy town, full of neon dreams
Everybody plays, everybody sings
Hollywood with a touch of twang
To be a star you gotta bang, bang, bang
Bend those strings 'til the Hank comes out
Make all the drunk girls scream and shout
We love it, we hate it, we're all just trying to make it
In this crazy town
One year they repossess your truck
And the next you make a couple million bucks
It's a crazy town full of neon dreams
Everybody plays, everybody sings
Hollywood with a touch of twang
To be a star you gotta
Bend those strings 'til the Hank comes out
Make all the drunk girls scream and shout
We love it, we hate it, we're all just trying to make it
We love it, we hate it, we all came here to make it
Now Ladies come, ladies go,
Out my revolving door
Some ladies never come back,
Most come back for more.
I’ve got a house in the hills
With a door that spins.
Goes in and out,
Out and in,
‘Round and ‘round again.
I live a life these player haters
Would love to be living.
Since a kid, I’ve been surrounded
By beautiful women.
And slippen’ in them
To win them
The unforgiven.
Still something’s missing,
Cuz deep inside I’m suffering
Of a lonely heart condition.
Wishing I could find a girl
That would take me away
From the chaos of the city
And the everday part that I play.
Tell me why lay low,
Why say no
When I got girls serenading at
My window.
Ladies good to go
We’s major league
The new breed. No so-so.
Highly advanced and got the game
To get in any girl’s pants.
And romance her stone
Cuz I more than hold my own
They call me Shifty Capone
I make them moan
Yes, I’m the one.
Between the sheets,
I amaze and stun.
Ain’t no need for me to brag
About the way that I’m hung.
Let’s just say I got the skills
To get the flyest girl sprung.
Or to take and make
An older lady feel young.
I keep my girls in rotation,
Door rotating.
You looking for a good time,
I’m always on vacation.
You could stop by baby,
If you want to try your luck.
But don’t waste my time,
Unless you’re down to fuck.
Unless you’re coming back for more,
Well then you know what’s up.
You know the routine
Girl, you’re not the one.
You’re just a one night fling.
Some ass to hold this casanova over.
Till the right girl pass,
I’ll drop this lifestyle fast.
Cuz what I’m really looking for
Is the one will last
And make my present past.
My adolescence surpassed.
By the will to chill,
I’m looking for something real.
In a world of fake hos in high heels
I’ll drop hot wax on your nipples,
Causing trouble.
And when you ride me,
Yo, I’ll be throwing up that triple double
My sex drive’s kicking.
I’m sexually exploring.
So many possibilities,
It seems my life could never get boring.
Cuz I’m not fucking around.
I’ll rub you down the right way.
I’ll rock your world nightly.
So, can I hit it lightly?
Yo, girl, I like it like that.
Let me hit it from the back.
I’m a natural aphrodisiac.
No doubt I’m the one your mama
Warned you about
I’m known for taking ladies home
And turning them out.
Like kissing all the girlies and
Making them cry.
I’m a wise guy with wits
The opposite of shy
Make your girl’s pussy shiver
When she looks in my eyes.
So uh.
One’s for the money,
Two’s for the honeys
Three’s for the pimp’s players
And the playboy bunnies.
You best believe I throw down.
Ain’t no need to slow down
You name the place and the time.
Find Mr. Shifty at the showdown.
Tearing you up.
That’s why all the fly girls
Just can’t get enough.
Said I loved you,
And you believed it was true.
That’s hilarious.
But your mother should have
Warned you about
Guys like us.
Freak, freak y’all
Yeah, you know what I’m saying.
‘Cause players only love you
When we’re playing
Now players only love you
when we’re playing.
These women,
They will come
And they will go.
And all you players know just
What I’m saying
It’s amazing just how many
Girls we know.
I know it ain’t right.
But I don’t want to change.
I’ve got so many dames,
I can’t remember their names.
But don’t be confused,
‘Cause girls are players too.
So, we’re going to tell you
About a girl we knew.
She was a pretty rebel.
A punk rock girl.
With a wicked sex drive
And the mind of a devil.
Like Agent 99,
Under cover all the time.
You want another kiss
You better rack another line.
Unique in design,
This freak was kind of fine.
But she’s not the only one.
There’s plenty of her kind.
Ain’t nothing funny baby,
Her game’s so tight,
She can make the sun shine
In the middle of the night.
She knows what she wants
And she gets it when
she wants it.
She knows that you want it
She’s got it, so she flaunts it.
So, get up on it.
You know the old saying.
Players only love you
When they’re playing.
Only the strong survive
I come alive and hit my mark.
The after dark player caper
Can’t lie, I’m on the take.
A heartbreaker tonight.
The ladies call me Mr. Right.
And others call me a freak.
Girl, it’s okay if you bite.
Some like it violent.
Mr. Mysterious type
Strong and silent
King player
I cast a hex
Inebriated talk of sex.
(Epic, I’m so into you)
Manipulation
I’m talking triple X rated
Sophisticated,
I’m game to elevate your mind.
An understated flirt
The chemistry’s hot.
You can’t deny.
So realize the size of it.
I can see it in your eyes.
I’d love to touch you baby.
And taste the essence of you.
You want to play?
Now, let me hear you scream
Out my name.
Players only love you when
If you got an itch to catch some havoc.
There’s mayhem in the plastic.
City of La La, I mean the land of holy Zsa Zsa
The wood is hot and you can spot the flocks
Of people like sheep, those with dredlocks
To jocks with Reeboks, fleeing hard rocks
A la cafe, Bambatta flashy fashion.
Imagine crashing bashes with bitches
That be bad and wishing for the fame
And recognition.
They’re on a mission for self, baby
We’re like the twelve, my tribe is crazy deep.
We got the beats that are hot.
We’re like clinique.
Foundation resonates when I speak.
And if by chance, you catch it
Then listen, the wisdom
Epic, open hitting, choking up.
You’ve done it now and woken up.
The giant scientist of hits
That make you jump like a lunatic
On pogo sticks, waving your fists.
So, if you’re catching a fit.
I don’t really know but you better scram,
Hurry in a double.
It goes on
On and on and on
Hell raising Hollywood
Welcome to Babylon
On and on and on and on
The party don’t stop ‘til the
Mystery’s gone.
I’ve seen it all, I’ll see it again.
I shake a lot of hands
But I don’t got a lot of friends.
It goes on. On and on and on.
Hell raising Hollywood,
Welcome to Babylon.
Live from the city of lights.
Sunny days and late nights.
Dope, designer drugs, porn stars
And bar fights.
I drop. Makes the bells rock.
I’m Mr. Shifty Shellshock
Call me the man of the hour
In the land of the lost.
Taking the money and the power.
CXT, we hold our own
All eyes on us.
Crazy rise rain like brimstone,
Kicking up dust.
I grab the mic with a firm hold
In a world of shattered goals,
Pot holes, broke folks and
Bank roll.
Pole position.
Daddy rolling, rolling causing Havoc.
So, ready set.
I’m more than set
Like Morissette, to Maverick
Got a, she’s got to have it, habit.
Sick, I leave them stuck.
I’m getting high for a living,
Not giving a fuck.
I’m screaming out the call of the wild.
I’m speaking in tongues.
I am the child of the sun.
The power of one.
I beat the drums
Of the Crazy Town click.
It’s the third eye sitting on the tip.
Of the pyramid flipped.
Now I see a little shotty,
Illuminatti front.
Dead bodies in my trunk.
Unraveling the source,
I travel into self.
You gauge my wage
And then you try to debate my wealth.
The consequences linger
And I’m fingering the perpetrators.
Hey yo, my nature was bred
On the cross fader.
It’s the 7th house.
Armageddon trudger.
Ready for death,
Now, we push rhymes, crazy rhymes
Words force fed to your mind.
Trace the source brother, brother.
Face the music, don’t confuse it for another.
Nothing comes close to this
Kiss the sky.
These grands change hands
As our fans multiply.
We push rhymes.
People gather ‘round when we
Kick them.
Go Boy, Shifty stick ‘em.
Ha ha ha stick ‘em.
Burning bridges, smoking ism,
Losing my religion,
Shooting the breeze,
We got these MC’s ass kissing.
If you can’t take the heat,
Then get your ass out of the kitchen.
I freak it off the wall.
Crammin’, slammin’ points of view
Into your fucking skull.
Bitch, that’s why we stick ‘em.
Stick ‘em
Ha ha ha stick ‘em
Ha stick ‘em, ha ha ha stick ‘em.
Stick ‘em, ha ha ha stick ‘em
Stick ‘em, stick-em, stick ‘em.
Stick ‘em, ha ha ha stick ‘em.
Ha stick ‘em, ha ha ha stick ‘em.
Well, I tapped you on the spinal
With an anesthetic.
Epic is the definition
Written into grooves of vinyl.
It’s called survival,
When I drop the stylish into friction.
Techtonic traits.
Drifting like the plates,
It shakes like the quakes in Cali.
The mystic Majaraji.
Mission of the kamikaze comeback kid.
Producer super status.
I’m here to claim my reign
As the baddest beat peddler.
So, place your bet middler.
The roof is a blaze.
And yo, we’re smoking out the fiddler.
We’re sipping on a hundred proof liquor.
Welcome to the dooms day dawning.
Hot like the sun.
No time to relax.
We pack the doomsday gun.
Call me a drifter, richter.
When I hit you with the stick ‘em.
I’m talking shit.
The pit starter.
A wanted man.
The one who cuffed your daughter
To my bed stand
I talk a lot of shit
because I know a lot of shit
I know, I said I’d quit.
But I just want another hit.
It’s madness.
Pimping like Gladys,
The baddest.
Maintain our status.
That is no question.
Releasing tension,
As we step into the seventh dimension.
This jabber jaw’s, jaws are slapping.
We’s what’s happening.
Bones are breaking
And fingers snapping.
The pressure’s on
With non-stop action.
Whether banging your head
Dreamlands of danger
Darkside pleasures
Bad behavior
Dreamlands of danger
Darkside pleasures
At their best
Punk rock, shell toes,
Horns and halos.
Wicked white wings and
And pointed tails.
Devil’s eyes and nine inch nails
Nocturnal renegades.
The eternal drug raid.
I go by the name of
Mr. Shifty switchblade.
Getting paid in the shade,
As lyrics ricochet,
Off the walls
From the ceiling to the floor,
Off the door
And down the hall.
I’m evil like Knievel
Kicking white trash.
Psycho cerebral, palsy, ballsy
Bad ass.
Dressed in black,
From the wrong side of the tracks.
Crazy Town.
Yo, we strike like deep impact.
Why can’t you see?
I cannot feel ‘til you bring
Me down.
Dream lands of danger.
Darkside pleasures
Bad behavior.
Dream lands of danger.
Darkside pleasures
At their best.
My subconscience launches me
Into evil territory.
I’m surrounded by Voyeurs
And crack smoking lawyers.
No shame. Burnt lips,
Tripping on acid rain.
Legally insane, deranged,
Some people never change.
Nasty na na, ha, ha
Darkside marijuana.
Fueled of the drama.
Drifting on the darkside.
I’m the black eye bomber.
Do what I do on a darkside
Rendezvous.
Raising hell, out the shell.
Of fantasies I never tell.
Dispersin’ untamed perversion.
My bad brain’s working,
Circle jerking, rocking riddles,
Sex pistol, sexperts
Now people say I’m jinxed.
I got some kind of voodoo hex.
Life is so complex.
There’s no telling what can happen next.
Life on the edge,
Fuels the sickness in my head.
It imbeds the type of thoughts
That got a lot of brothers dead.
The smarter brother knows
To keep his foes close.
And I’m the type of brother
That’s smarter than most.
A cold hearted overdose
Of lyrical antidotes.
The cure to make sure
My karma can’t take me down.
Up to the same old tricks.
I wonder if I’ll stick around.
Is a penny really lucky
If you find it on the ground?
What’s the problem with this town?
I can’t figure it out.
My karma’s crashing down
In the form of a black cloud.
I’ve got a little black cloud
That follows me.
Everywhere I go,
It takes over me.
I’m sick.
I’ve got a real ill disposition.
My intentions are pure
But there’s a cure for my condition.
My decisions
Put me in the wrong positions.
Chasing pipe dreams
Of fame and recognition.
The Epic.
Not only a name,
A definition.
My game remains no matter the pain.
I stay the charmer.
The Don of Karma.
I navigate it like the Dalai Lama
I ain’t a saint.
But I’ve got Joi de vie
And I’m the one to blame
If the cloud rains on me.
I can’t complain about it
Or even let regret
Provoke the energy it takes
For me to get upset.
A bad boy since birth
So I can’t forget
What goes around
Comes around
And it ain’t got me yet.
I’ve gotten wise in my age
And tamed the threat of my rage.
I’ve got a lot to learn
And I’ve got money to spend.
To pretend is reaping more
Than sewing ever could mend.
Trade my torches for a dime
The pressure’s fading away now
Black cloud’s lifted for the light
The pressure’s fading away now.
A thousand cigarettes
Won’t change the way we feel.
The pressure’s fading now
Can you bare the thought of knowing truth?
Knowing truth.
I was rapping in the rain,
Hoping that my luck would change.
And if there’s any truth
To all those old sayings.
Cuz if I killed a spider,
Would my house catch on fire?
If I walked under a ladder
Would it matter?
I tend to laugh
When black cats cross my path.
Break mirrors in half
Just to test the aftermath
Now here comes rain.
I project my pain.
Trying to make sense
Of these crazy things.
I’m a diamond in the rough.
Could I suffer enough?
I’m getting high for a living,
Not giving a fuck.
These hard times got me stuck.
Stuck in a jam
I’m the monkey on your back
And the crack in the dam.
Disastrous
Took time to master this.
And the past
Is just a map to capture this.
In the darkness.
I’m forced to adapt to this.
I would change the past
This is the last trip.
This is the last trip.
CXT KRS-One
Boogie down, Crazy Town.
I’m a bad ass B-Boy
Two triple O.
A space age hip-hop
Superhero
I rock the block with glocks
And brass knuckles.
A pocket full of weed
And a B-Boy belt buckle.
Space age rage
To rattle your cage
Running amok as we
Fuck up the stage.
Taking hip-hop to a whole new level.
8-0-8 bass over twisted metal.
Shifty, the rebel. Supernatural.
A mac with a pull.
Act a fool. Excalibur
Destroying M.C.’s with my
Vocal algebra.
We got something new for you.
For you to take your ass and move it to.
Hit to lose it to
It’s that crazy crew.
Taking you on a ride to the
Other side.
Check it.
Bar codes on freaks
Programmed to freak mode.
Black holes of lost souls,
Let the story be told
I rock a B-Boy stance
Cuz it’s time to explode.
If you ever want to know what time it is,
Compared to what time it isn’t,
When you hear KRS in the house
Just run and get our ticket.
Because when you come into the jam,
The party will be kickin’.
All the wic wacs and DJ’s in the house,
Jealous, it gets so sickenin’.
Now CXT are some cool guys,
Still getting paid without no ties.
At least no jack and I can’t hack it.
When you gonna ask the question why.
I never liked working at Mickey D’s,
All my life I got B’s and C’s.
Down with the crew called BDP
Shifty, and E.P.I.C.
Now when you be?
Put your mind over matter
Gather ‘round the sound
Yeah, gather ‘round the sound.
It don’t get better, gather
‘Round the sound
Come on, gather ‘round the sound.
Put your mind over matter
Gather round the sound
Yeah, gather round the sound
It don’t get better, gather
‘Round the sound
Come on, gather round the sound.
I roll at light speed
Through space and time
With a boom box of beats
And a book of rhymes.
Cosmo kinetic.
I just don’t get it
These fools want to rock
But their rhymes are pathetic
The Epic, digital bliss,
The mega sound
Consists of hard drive bits
Written underground.
Crazy Town rocks so hard,
You’ll go berserk
With the sound that travels
Around the universe.
Ill thoughts disperse
We’re the first and last,
High class, white trash,
Rolling a classic hovercraft.
In strange days,
The wickedest ways
Become the norm.
But it’s far from the norm
When we perform.
Check it.
B-boys make some noise.
Get connected.
Respect it.
You should expect the unexpected.
B-girls reping at the front
Of the show.
I’m a bad ass b-boy two
Triple O.
Dope thoughts come
When I hear a kick drum
A bass beat transforms
The level of the street
And the lyrics
Boulevard status.
Yo, I’m the baddest
Beach front punks,
They insist I’m the raddest
Thing to ever hit since L.S.D.
Hallucinate while I dominate.
I bring Satan to the table.
When I rock, there is not
A label for it.
Critics adore it.
Homicidal as it gets.
Your wrist slit
When I make suicidal imprints
On your brain.
I induce pain, so I’m insane.
Hell bent burnt you like acid rain.
Extraordinarily, I lyricize,
Specialize.
In body rocking, rapping,
And macking.
Two triple O, I came to get down.
With my clique Crazy Town.
We came to get down.
Yes, yes y’all
We came to get down.
Put your mind over matter
Gather ‘round the sound
Yeah, gather ‘round the sound.
It don’t get better, gather
‘Round the sound
Come on, gather ‘round the sound.
Put your mind over matter
Gather ‘round the sound
Yeah, gather ‘round the sound
It don’t get better, gather
‘Round the sound
Come on, gather ‘round the sound.
This is the last trip.
This is the last trip.

This is the last trip.
This is the last trip.
Everything is so complex
Everyday is like a test full of opsticals
That almost seem impossible
And I’m thinking just another breath not a minute left.
How long have I been drinking?
Pass the glass pint hit the flash light now break it.
People say I’m a star but I still think ill never make it.
And I’m thinking just another prayer not a second left.
I feel there’s something missing
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me when all the answers I see go around me.
Am I drowning?
Am I fading away?
OR am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
I’ve been to hell and back looking for the answers to life.
Looking at myself trying to get things right.
And I’m feeling just another breath not a minute left.
I feel the darkness lifting.
There was a time
That I questioned if Id ever be alright.
Running getting high staying trapped by sleepless nights.
And I’m thinking just another breath not a minute left.
I feel there’s something missing.
I’m running from myself and all the things I don’t like.
Living every night like it’s the last night.
And I’m thinking just another prayer not a second left.
I need to stop resisting.
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me when all the answers I see go around me.
Am I drowning?
Am I fading away?
OR am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Sometimes I hate that chaos surrounds me when all the answers I see go around me.
Am I drowning?
Am I fading away?
OR am I living up to all your dreams that made me this way?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Drowning in the drama lost in the lies trapped by the currents of life caught in the rip tides.
Nothing comes from nowhere
One thing remains and I swear
Nail polish cellophane hair
Bleached, blonde burned down to the brain
I can't complain there's no shame in no fame
And still it all remains the same
And I want this game over
It's a fight to stay sober
And I got the pills for the pain the pain (pills for the pain)
Deep down inside I've got to chill and refrian (I'm going insane)
These crazy thoughts are running round my brain
They're leading me to places decorated in flames
Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
I'm highly decorated
Decorated in flames, decorated in flames, decorated in flames
Who you motherfuckers think you are
Crazy Town him 'em hard like our boy Bernard
Clenched fists as I pace the yeard
So many tattoos I ain't got no room for scars
Escaped them all maked a brother break the law
Skip trial and escape tomorrow
Til I end up in the courtroom
White chucks, hair spiked up
With my double fat laces on
And I want this game over
It's a fight to let this life pass by you
And try to stay sober
Till the weed and the pipe with Ley come over
Till we fail again its pales of hen
So many tattoos the feds can't see my skin
So I think about my cell again
And my friends do you realize what kind of hell I'm in
And I got the pills for the pain the pain (pills for the pain)
Deep down inside I've got to chill and refrian (I'm going insane)
These crazy thoughts are running round my brain
They're leading me to places decorated in flames
Dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-dec-decorated in flames
I'm highly decorated
Decorated in flames, decorated in flames, decorated in flames
Tire tracks running down my veins
Dirty black slacks with the chrome hearts chaing
Got a record so dope they got to cut it the cane
I know you konw the face do you know the name
I know you seen the stars in magazines
Got drug dealers, street hookers, crooks and fiends
Me I'm hooked on Kush smoking northern green
Now can you hear the cling-clang of my ball and chain gang?
The sound of heavy metal that tastes like cellophone
Collapsing every vein like umbrellas in heavy rain
My passion is pain
I do dirt to bury shame
I'm victimized an instituion's no solution
A place where you're defenseless and guilt's the prosecution
Where necks are bound into slipknots of shallow souls
Walking narrow roads to be hung frok gallows poles
Nobody knows me success has exposed me
To narrow-minded souls with goals to overthrow me
Suppose that i chose to live my life low-key
Would you act like you could teach
When there is nothing you can show me
Don't you understand i'm the head of the class
A straight - A student not regretting the past
CHORUS:
You see i'm ok now but i dont think it will last
Because reality is something i can't seem to grasp
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
Pulling me closer to death, i feel closer to death now
Candy-coated pain is like a ball and chain
We only dig deeper by running away
It's deeper than what it looks like
We never got an equal shot so we took mics
Packed the candy-coated pain in the first pipe
That said my name and the candy-coated pain is the worst type
You got it nice my every day is like your worst night
The world is digging in my wounds screaming out i bet it hurts right?
But it hurts more i got regrets but
i'm glad i took the prize behind the fisrt door
What's the hurt for?
Everybody hungers peace but they thirst war
It's crazy i'm not complaining because i probably would have tried better
And if the people that i trusted weren't lie tellers
So keep your candy-coated pain to make the vibe better
Now all the songs i'm writing sound like suicide letters
Repeat CHORUS
Guilty or innocent whatever pick the verdict
Sometimes a perfect picture's not so perfect
Thought i could reverse the mixture it isn't worth it
Because my life seems to work no matter how bad curse it
I only know a little but i feel so much
The pain brings me down but it reveals the rush
See i got my arms up just to shield the dust
Because i lust for the things i can't seem to touch
Arrest me if i follow you
You congest me i'm so hollow from your gift
You infect me when i cut you
Still the same still insane
I think i love you
(But fuck you)
Catch a fire, Fire it up
Corrupt stirring it up
It's buring hot, drifing
Hitting every slot
With a drop kick ,
It's toxic
Trouble, like your girl in a mosh pit
I've lost it
And that the only way that we rock shit
Banging heads and ripping threads
If i wasn't rocking shows
I'd be better of dead
With a one two
One word can destroy your whole crew
And that's toxic
Toxic, loud and abnoxious
Crazy Town's toxic
With that, rock your block Shit
Toxic, popping more lip
We love to talk shit
Rocking you block with that
stright out the block shit
Toxic
A budda, blastic
Blacklisted. twisted of faith
My vocal's fatal
As naughty v block concotions
Rock youe cradel
I thought I wait 'til The timeing was right
To inginte
Cause people like me
we only come out at night
I rock the main line
And party with fine bitches
Which is a dirty job
But somebody's got to do it
So, who the crew with?
More has than vivid
Lyrics explicit
So fuck the crities
We leave them hanging
like INXS.
Toxic threasholds of
Colomibian gold
You can't roll how we roll
We possess you soul
And push the panic
Is it godly or satanic?
Toxic or organic?
Manic minds refind or frantic
Just the way we planned it
See. we be stomping around The planet
And we stand alone
We inflitrate your chromosomes
No clone
Our DNA has got a strain
Tell me how you like us now
I remember the days we used to stop and watch and drop the drops
But now we got the block unlocked with lots of props
No longer do we shock the rocks and cock the glocks.
So how ya like us now?
We used to be broke, now we clocking chips,
We used to make demos, but now we droppin' hits
Had a block on the phone, but now we got flips
So if you wanna catch me, you better hit me on the hip
I used to be the dope man, supplying the coke, man
But now I slang CDs and I'm still the dope man
--- comin' up, we used to have people runnin' up
Fuck a bodyguard, I'll break your face if you're dumb enough
Leave your lip numbin' up bleedin' from the gum and up
You've heard of us, we ain't no murderous, but there's a turn of us
We used to chase girls, and now they're wantin' us
Used to lace girls, but now they're turnin' us
Spinin' huns on us, droppin' funds on us
We used to chase girls, but they're chasin' us
We used to live the ouih life, and now we live the good life
Don't own the label, but we runnin' it like Suge Knight
I remember the days we used to stop and watch and drop the drops
But now we got the block unlocked with lots of props
No longer do we shock the rocks and cock the glocks
So how ya like us now?
I remember the days we used to stop and watch and drop the drops
But now we got the block unlocked with lots of props
No longer do we shock the rocks and cock the glocks
So how ya like us now?
Tell me how you like us now
We came up, by doin' the same stuff
When we was rappin, you was hatin', now you wanna change up
Cause you see we platinum chain up
You had the same chances we had and rose the same bus
Now you wanna blame us, cuz you nameless
We used to have the same damn problem, now we're famous
I used to have a bus pass, now I push a cadillac
We used to have no cheese, now we have too much cash
We used to get no play, now we in rotation
I used to rock my CDs on a sony playstation
I used to be shy, now I'm outgoin'
Used to be a nice guy, but now I'm out hoein'
I used to like people, now I got an ego
When I was comin' up, society didn't treat me equal
The ladies used to play us, and treat us like some suckas
But now that we got money, we're some sexy mothafuckas
They wanted to be my lover, but said I was too nasty
Now they wanna flash me, and sexually harass me
I used to rock the timex, but now I don't recommend them
Cause now I got the platinum Rollie with the diamonds in em
Come here, check this shit out
BLING BLING
I remember the days we used to stop and watch and drop the drops
But now we got the block unlocked with lots of props
No longer do we shock the rocks and cock the glocks
So how ya like us now?
I remember the days we used to stop and watch and drop the drops
But now we got the block unlocked with lots of props
No longer do we shock the rocks and cock the glocks
So how ya like us now?
I remember the days (I remember them days)
I remember the days (I remember them days)
I remember the days (I remember them days)
I remember the days, the days, the days
I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky
I went from crawling around to being able to fly
Saw no future for me until I opened my eyes
I was a skull in the ground now I'm a star in the sky
I tried love, heaven, hope and takin' chances
And all I got were broken dreams and failed romances
Suffered to a life of skin covered in scratches
Looking for the light but I could never find the passage
Tension, stress, pain yeah you best believe it
Nose bleeding from my false way to relieve it
Enough confusion to make serenity sick
All my fake friends became my enemies quick
Everyday I found another way to make excuses
Took the ropes I was supposed to climb and made nooses
Being stupid always giving in to the myth
That life wasn't even worth living like this
A grown man trapped inside a young man's skin
With resentment very very deep within
On a mission to end up either dead or in jail
No wonder everybody always said that I would fail
I found myself locked in a cell and I was just another number
The thin ice was cracking and I was sinking under ... in with sorrow
Worried 'bout today dread would happen by tomorrow
Who knows the answers well nobody knows for certain
The evil things I did when I chose to close the curtain
Perhaps I should relapse quit relapse quit
Force it back and relax with a sack of good shit
Now I find myself in a candlelit depression
Using sex like drugs just to handle my aggression
i had a little, had a lot, had it all and then I lost it
Stars are in my eyes and skeletons are in my closet
Now when I open my eyes and I rise from the dead
Take control of my soul cause the lies are in my head
The right way is the left way and the left way is wrong
So I'm left with the right way and the right way is long
So for once in my life I truly feel like I belong
So I'll appreciate today and every day until I'm gone
a buddha
ballistic blacklisted
tiwst of fate my
vocal's fatal
as naughty block concoctions
rock yo cradle i'd thoughti'd wait
till the timin' was
right to ignite cuz people
like me we only come out
at night i rock tha main line and
party wit fine
b*** which is a dirty
job but somebody's gotta do it
so who's the crew wit mo'
hos than vivd so f** the crtics we
leave em hangin' like
No time for words just choose sides
No fear cause no one can hide
No room to keep this inside
I'm on the front line yelling out the battle cry
Steppin' with my Armageddon, weapon I'll wet 'em and let 'em
Step again, Armageddon weapon will wet 'em again
Steppin' with my Armageddon, weapon I'll wet 'em and let 'em
Step again, step again
I'm sick of waiting and hearing this instigation
It's time to take over the station (and get y'all pissed off)
It's like my patience it's worse then the situation
So I keep a straight face and scream (all you all get lost)
It's not society nah, can't beat sobriety
Something inside of me is keeping me down
It's cause you lie to me and take away my privacy
I used to stay quiet but look at me now
No time for words just choose sides (no)
No fear cause no one can hide (no)
No room to keep this inside (so where you at?)
Front line yellin' out the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
I could have sworn I heard the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
(No!) I won't calm down
(No!) I won't put my fire arm down
(Hell no!) We're either leaving here or fightin'
Or we're writin' some new rules and I'm doing the writin'
Who are you to govern me, how could you govern
If you got no fuckin' love for me
I see the love but I don't see it's brotherly
Ya love to rape me, hate me, smother me
So I'm gonna be steppin' with my Armageddon
Weapon I'll wet 'em and let 'em
Step again Armageddon weapon will wet 'em step again
No time for words just choose sides (no)
No fear cause no one can hide (no)
No room to keep this inside (so where you at?)
Front line yellin' out the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
I could have sworn I heard the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
I used to stay quiet but look at me now
I could have sworn I heard the battle cry
I thought I heard the battle cry
So many people in the scene LOOK AT life like a joke
But then I met you just when I was losin' hope
You appeared in a cloud of smoke
You don't look like Aaliyah but your rockin' my boat
So you can take me to a punk rock paradise
Thats about the time I get lost in your eyes
CAUSE I want you, I want what you got
Just the thought of it is makin' me hot
So baby don't stop
I could have you on the bottom and you'd still be on top
Just dirty little kids in a crib full of sex toys
Got the walls padded from the back to the front
So me and babygirl can get as loud as we want
Said I love you so much you dirty little ---
I LIKE it when you smack me and call me a PUNK
And for the first time in my life, I said I feel so alive
My whole life has changed before my very eyes
Love is in the air, you're like the answer to my prayers
All I wanted was a girl that could really take me there
NOW ya do, that ya do, that ya do..
I must of met a million girls but I want you.
Love is in the air, you're like the answer to my prayers
All I wanted was a girl that could really take me there
NOW ya do, that ya do, that ya do..
I must of met a million girls but I want you.
And words can't explain the way I feel inside
You're like my own amusement park and only I can take a ride
And sex is good sometimes we come home at night
Make love, kiss, hug, drink, drug and fight
And even when I'm wrong my girl will fuck me till I'm right.
Kiss me all over, lick me head from toe
Fuck, maybe when we older 'cause I already know
I musta met a million girls but somthin's different bout you
Can't put my finger on one thing, its everything that you do
I used to see you in the club with your friends
And you'd pretend that you weren't lookin' at me
but I was lookin' at you
I know you look at me and see me as a crook with a brew
Just an everyday player, good looks, TATTOOS
Let me explain, theres somethin' different bout you
You judge a book by its cover and you're sure to lose
A musta met a million girls but I want you
Love is in the air, you're like the answer to my prayers
All I wanted was a girl that could really take me there
And that ya do, that ya do, that ya do..
I must of met a million girls but I want you.
Love is in the air, you're like the answer to my prayers
All I wanted was a girl that could really take me there
And that ya do, that ya do, that ya do..
I must of met a million girls but I want you.
Was it a quiz when I met her, some sort of a test
In a blue dress she's eyein me as if I was blessed
Like an aura trapped me, put me under arrest
Then she slapped me, sentenced to life with no contest.
A thug, Bitch, body like heaven I'm talking classy
Twenty men, breakin' their necks she's walkin' past me
WENT TO PASS AT, started to speak, voice was raspy
Heard she was an angel, but sex she liked it nasty
Hit her off late one night, she's lookin' tight
Shorty sippin her drink to get the vibe just right
Ginuwine is in the stereo finessin' the deck
I put my tongue in her mouth, began caressing her neck
My body shiverin' scared to death I wouldn't impress
Her body quiverin' as a put my palm on her chest
This girls a treasure, appreciating all that she get
I'm gettin' pleasure lickin' up the small of her back
Take every measure, I can take all proper precations
Every single preportion more fragile then porcelain
She's forcin' a sexual drug, and I'm addicted
Suddenly I'm feeling bubbly, you got me twisted
Love is in the air, you're like the answer to my prayers
All I wanted was a girl that could really take me there
And that ya do, that ya do, that ya do..
I must of met a million girls but I want you.
Love is in the air, you're like the answer to my prayers

And that ya do, that ya do, that ya do..
I must of met a million girls but I want you.
You're the one, you're the one fly girl
You're the one, you're the one for me..
I said, you're the one, you're the one fly girl
You're the one, you're the one for me...thats right.
You're the one, you're the one fly girl
Thats right, you're the one for me.
You're the one, you're the one fly girl
She was My Heart, my soul, my girl, my life
I want that shit, I'll make that sacrifice.
you know I know, you know What's on my mind
I like the sex but where just wastin' time
no replay's, like Shifty please stay
sick of breakin' up every other week day
and we cant seem to see, eye to eye
you even yell when I try to get high
and I cant keep you, your evil
and all my friends think that I should leave you
it's a stand still that I try to see through
but your actin' like a bitch so I got to leave you
oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
my time
you came, I went, you sore, I fucked, I left.
went neck to neck, but now it's sudden death.
get out of my bed, I came to make it mine.
don't wont no head, stop all that wastin' time.
oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
my time
waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
my time
I'm mad but, I packed your bags up.
put 'em by the door, you can have that stuff.
Story of them all, and a man's bad luck
but it's all for the best I guess, Next
now I feel like the man on the moon, like
staring down on the world lookin' for a new girl
and a new life, now I guess one day, some day I'm a get it right
oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
oh, I think iv seen this once before
I know the way it ends when you just walk out the front door
your just a waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time, waste of my time
my time
your just a waste of my...
Tripple X bottle, role models from hell
Livin' our dreams we like to scream and yell
White boys, B-Boys raised in the gutter
I said when I'd grow up I'd be a bad motherfucker
Nothings gonna stop me now, I'm breaking the rules
I'm gonna do it if it's not allowed
Thought I wouldn't when I would, would when I wouldn't
I did it for the reason everybody said I couldn't
I'm putting my best foot down like what now
Lets take it to the bridge and jump the fuck down
Fuck it like a clown jump off a building in a bucket
The worst is yet to come, here it comes so bum rush it
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Would you change the way you live if I told you to
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Well take it to the bridge and jump the fuck off [2x]
Are you ready to jump? Are you ready to leap?
Well the head rush is heavy but for many too deep
That were speeding up the world to keep the timing on beat
It keeps reminding everybody who's a pyrimid freak
The pyrimid eye, the figure inside
The leader that you follow the day that you die
We always bring it live which makes it easy to choose
Ain't now greiving or consoling or singing the blues
So when the levee breaks just remember the drums
And when the levee breaks don't forget how to run
Remember what I've done and everything I say
I'm living proof that you can jump and live to try it again
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Would you change the way you live if I told you to
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Well take it to the bridge and jump the fuck off [2x]
I'm torn like Korn playing follow the leader
In a baggy pair of dickies and a dirty wife beater
Should the rate a CD like a movie in a theater
Should they blame it on me? I say we blame it on you
Or blame it on the world there's no excuse for the things we do
Life's a maze I'll be amazed if I find my way through
One, two, tell me whatchya gonna
You gonna jump off the bridge like I told ya to
That's right, bum rush the stage
Whatchya made of, how much more can you take
Half of my life's been one big mistake
But no ones gonna take my place
One, two, tell me whatchya gonna do
Your gonna jump off the bridge like I told you to
That's right, bum rush the stage
What you made of? how much can you take
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Would you change the way you live if I told you to
Would you jump off a bridge if I told you to
Well take it to the bridge and jump the fuck off [2x]
Monkey see and monkey do
Monkey see and monkey do
Monkey see and monkey do
Don't try to be like me you gotta be like you
If you can hear this your catchin' the contact
If you can hear this your bumpin' the sound
If your in the earshot your catchin' the contact
If you can hear this your bumpin' the sound
Jump off a bridge if I told you to
Jump off a bridge if I told you to
im sweeter than u

Hey DJ!
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I’m seein’ stars
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I’m seein’ stars
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I’m seein’ stars
Once again I found myself with my friends
Dancin’ the night away it’s like the party never ends
Then again we don’t want it to stop cause
Tonight’s the night it goes sweat box, laser beams, flashin’ lights
Wild cards, been from mars, dressed in stars and stripes
Ecliptic electric
Ladies of the evenin’
Drinkin’ booze and minglin’
Lodgin’ to the music I can do anything
Freaky Deaky star speckles and pink butterflies
Life is nice, so nice
I walk into a club and I’ve found paradise
I’m seein’ stars, I can’t believe my eyes
I’m seein’ stars
CHORUS:
Oh my starry eyed surprise
Sundown to Sunrise
Dance all night
We gonna dance all night
Dance all night to this DJ
Ah sugar dance all night to this DJ
Oh my starry eyed surprise
Sundown to Sunrise
Dance all night
We gonna dance all night
Dance all night to this DJ
Ah sugar dance all night to this DJ
Dance all night to this DJ
Ah lover dance all night to this DJ
Now the record I was feelin’s on the trails we blaze
The walls are closin’ in but that’s okay
Cause I’ve been waitin’ all week to feel this way
And it feels so good so good
I’m on top of the world
The coolest kid in the neighbourhood
So let me be your star for one night, that’s right
Sweat box, lazer beems, flashin’ lights
You’ve got to, feel the rush, feel the spice of life
Thug life, Shifty rolls the dice
Snake eyes, surprise
Icein’, Mesmerizin’
The minds of sick ones
Cause what we are are victims of fun
C’mon C’mon
The fun is just begun
C’mon the fun has just begun
CHORUS
Hey DJ!
Tonight into the stars
Tonight I’m seein’ stars
It goes ooh la la I see stars

Seein’ stars, I’m seein’ stars
Seein’ stars, I’m seein’ stars
I'm sorry, I'm not what you are,
so sorry, the ugly of it all,
all my life, I was beneath you,
it's all my fault please forgive me,
maybe I could change, maybe I could try,
maybe I could, but then again....
Why would I want to,
lie like you,
thieve like you,
hurt like you,
deceive like you,
connive like you,
cheat like you,
its not that hard to be like you,
but then again why would I want to?
I'm sorry, I am so ashamed,
so sorry I'll take all the blame,
all my life I've been so confused,
its all my fault, please forgive me,
maybe I could change,
maybe I could try,
maybe I could
Why would I want to
I'm sorry, I'm not what you are,
so sorry, the ugly of it all,
all my life, I was beneath you,
I get drunk and I stumble to the phone and conjure up a bitch to bone when I'm alone
Fucked up, tore back I need to take a piss
Only when I'm drunk? I sing a song like this
My grandma and your grandma... Sittin by the fire
Hold on, turn that beat off!
No, keep it going
Crazy Town, yo y'all just not known'
I get drunk and start talking more shit and when I got a gun in my hand
You better get...Out 'Cause my brain just ain't what it used to be
Forget trying to rationalize, cover your eyes.
I get ....(Uh!)... damn I'm drunk.
I need a chunck, no better yet a hunk of that funk
I get ....(Uh!)... damn I'm drunk.
I need a chunk, no better yet
A hunk of that funk
Yeah I'm good bad, dope I'm freaky fresh
I make hip-hop fans say "yes" "yes"
Crazy's comin' thru you know we're gonna blow up
Hold up wait I think I'm gonna throw up, Na' false alarm
I'm getting all ladies with my cool charm
When I get drunk I might even call my daddy a punk
Yeah , but only when I'm drunk.
CHORUS:
Yeah, only when I'm drunk
Only when I'm drunk It happens only when I'm drunk.
It goes, one for the chronic two for the amnesia
I'm that crazy white boy with the drinks in the freezer
Bust a one out, two out blitz type of rapper
That will get you out of your seat quicker than a car jacker
Sippin' colt forty fever when I'm coolin' with my people
Got ho's in east Columbus when I'm Billy D. Rico
"Cause I move like I'm smooth like Like I'm Harry Belafonte
Lookin' for them suckers that jumped my homey Le Le
All up in this bitch with the Gin and Tanqueray dink like Mr.Wendal smoke bud like Dr Dre.
But that's cause I'm old enough to do that of shit
God damn. I gotta piss
I pass the mic to Mr. Shift.
I get drunk and can't nobody whoop me
I'm trippin' it must be that brew that Iwas sippin'
Kickin' in, guess I shouldn't have mixed it with the Gin
'Cause when I'm laying on my back I can feel the room spin
One too many, I reckon Feelin' I got to hurl any second
Want to get up but can't move
Feels like I'm stuck in a groove
What the fuck was I trying to prove
I got a knack for downin' four-o's
All the hos know them doobie bros
People call me shift I keep a fifth in my trunk
I might fuck an ugly bitch, but only when I'm drunk.
CHORUS:
Yeah, only when I'm drunk
Dancing with the devil on the 13th floor
Non stop knocking on heaven’s door
Thinking faster flirting with disaster plastered
I’m your puppet master pushin’ proper data
Watch the city steal your soul as the drugs take control
And the problems of the world put your life on hold
You should have known by now that it just don’t stop
You like that rock hip-hop you make me grab my crotch
I got a lollipop porn bitch
Dead on arrival
A hardcore sex bitch turned
Suicidal
All caught up now taking my chances playing my song
While the devil dances ‘round me beggin’ me to play along
Now over the years I’ve learned to love the pain
I’m what you call a ladykiller with the gift of game
Triple X true that you do dat dat
Let it ride bring it back over 24 tracks
We’re gonna rock the fuckin’ block tonight
We’re gonna rock that shit gonna make it right
Diggi, diggi damn right, we’s dynomite
So we can do this or you can do what you like
I grab the mic and make it mine
I grab the mic and make it hype
So we can do this, or you can do what you like
Riding on the 3rd rail, taking risks, life is risky
The “E” stands for Epic and the “S” stands for Shifty
So let the good times roll, there’s no controlling us
Walking on water and kicking up dust
The boisterous, causing panic in the land of lust
The shellshock lollipop crazy down to make your body rock
Sugar I love the way your body talks
Now, whoever said that sex was overrated
Love leaves me devastated, life’s so fuckin’ complicated
Shifty say what, Epic’s a beat slut
Now let me state it for the record
I'm jaded but when you looked at me
I couldn't escape it
I really hate it when I'm out of control
But baby after the show
My mind just wouldn't let go
Tell me was it a hallucination
That made me feel so alone
And even though I have never met you before
I can't get you out of my head
Now I'm pouring out my heart for you
I never meant to hurt you so bad
I'm just trying to get over you
I hope you never meant to hurt me so bad
Don't you feel the same way too
So now I sit and think of what I can say
When you look at me to re-ignite the connection
I'm gonna take you to a place beyond time
Somewhere that we've never been
Someplace that I couldn't find
Tell me if you're feeling my addiction
Without you I just can't disguise
How much I need to see your face one more time
I can't get you out of my head
Now I'm pouring out my heart for you
I never meant to hurt you so bad
I'm just trying to get over you
I hope you never meant to hurt me so bad
Now in these cynical times
Sterotypical minds
Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind
I'm trying to look beyond the lies
Just to see what I'll find
I'm like a flower in a cave
Another hour in the maze
And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays
It's time for me to grow out of this childish phase
My life is like a battle that I'll probably never win
'Cause I keep thinking big and risking everything
Life's a challenge and I wonder if I'll ever find the balance
Mixed emotions and confusion topped off with many talents
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(my life is twisted)
My finger's pointing in the mirror
I'm the one now
I see my shadow in the sun dial
Am I really out of change
Put my freedom in a cage
Slow down
Man I got a son now
There's nothing new thay all said it
And I know it but I had to go throught it myself
I'm hard-headed
That's the only way I'll learn
Get caught in the fire ther's no escaping the burn
And it burns
Change this
Change that
Change is full of lies
I remain the same cat wear a good disquise
Living life loking through my third blind crooked eye
So if I change I'd be changing for the worst wouldn't I?
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(my life is twisted)
I wanna run but if I run I'm only running form myself
Would it be easier if I were someone else
I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never beeen burned
Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned
On a highway to a destinatin I've earned
So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
I'm like a piece of shard glass laying on a frame of a window
That was broken by the bricks of pain
Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig
He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig
I admit I'm fucked up and got a lot to learn
So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridge I've burned
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
CHORUS:
Come my lady
Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby (X2)
Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try
Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real
Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal
I can feel too much is never enough
You're always there to lift me up
When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found
Ever since you've been around
You're the women that I want
So yo, I'm putting it down.
CHORUS
I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message
to show me life is precious
Then I guess it's true
To tell truth, I really never knew
T'll I met you I was lost and confused
Twisted and used up
Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it
My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
And yo. what' s happening now?
I see the sun breaking shining through dark clouds
and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.
CHORUS
Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
So, what ever tickles your fancy
Girls who you knew like Sid and Nancy
So sexy....almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head
I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read but
you made me feel alive when I was almost dead
You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
and as far as I can see it don't get better than this
So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
and a thank you miss.
Now when the shit goes down, I'm always forced to grow
forced to see all the things that I still don't know
and if there's one thing I've learned,
it's never too late to take a fucked up life to a beautiful state
Caus' I came from the bottom so I treasure the top
at times it seems the dreams are just a long shot
when the worlds crashing down, when the drama wont stop
your chained to the past and you cant break the lock
Caus' nothing can be more beautiful then watching the whole world crumbling down
on me
so beautiful, so beautiful
to witness the end
how far will I go and will I grow, will I learn to know
My addiction used to hold me, like a lover feelin' lonely
I was down by broken dreams and when I felt the world owed me
I'd sit and hit the walls until my fists were cut and swollen
my soul was cold and drowning from the tears iv tried to hold in
overwhelmed by my emotions, and haunted by the past
my head was overheating and my heart was in a cast
my mind was in the gutter, my ass was in a sling
driven by destruction
young and fuckin' everything
Caus' nothing can be more beautiful then watching the whole world crumbling down
on me
so beautiful, so beautiful
to witness the end
how far will I go and will I grow, will I learn to know
how far now will I go and will I grow
so beautiful, so beautiful, beautiful
Caus' nothing can be more beautiful then watching the whole world crumbling down
on me
so beautiful, so beautiful
to witness the end
Caus' nothing can be more beautiful then watching the whole world crumbling down
on me
so beautiful, so beautiful
to witness the end
Caus' nothing can be more beautiful then watching the whole world crumbling down
on me
so beautiful, so beautiful
to witness the end
(how far will I go and will I grow, will I learn to know
how far now will I go and will I grow
You Know that bitch baby he's talking shit about our clique but he don't Crazy
You see the writing on my dick
You know that trick, Tracy
yeah, she's making me sick
living that life
we used to do the same shit
shit gets drastic some kids need help some need there ass kicked
and some would never learn to earn there own way living of their daddy had he not been rich
they'd be broker than a joke and forced to switch
you gotta change your tune or change your pitch
because life ain't easy man
life's a bitch
shit is harder than hard about as hard can get
keep on going were you're headed you's alive to regret it
yes it hurts
to face the truth and realize that the worlds got your neck in a noose if things ain't like they ought to be
you 've got to think fast
the aftermath
of your actions whiplash.
I know you all tired of these wannabe thugs claiming the real be running, grabbing the steel
thinking they're going to peel
my niggas cap
roaming the streets with black hats
chrome straps
sipping on brew
ready to react
of any nigga they see that nigga could be my
capital I.C.E.
got a muther fucking .357 to put eleven holes in their chest
thinking they could test
a real riderfrom the west
I roll flossin' me and my girlfriend nina ross and the ghettos' been good to me
but you've got to take precautions
Brothers get got what they least
expect it or neglect it
You'll never catch the dirty in the streets without protection
Nowadays you got to pull shit
Haters on some bullshit
jumpin' out of cadillacs and low lows with a full clip
If your tool spits
Shake the spot or get your duck on
Cause if you press your luck on
Stupid is what you're stuck on.
That girl shelia got a daugter
She be clubbing every night
Shelia had her daughter young still that just ain't right
Plus she rides the white horse
She used to ride my pony If I hit it now, I'd break it
'Cause Sheila's just too bony.
Smoking speed released the lions
I'm not lying I'm not sober
I'm still tryingh Hiding the truth
With substitutes a hundred proof
A fuck up. face it
One of L.A.'s wasted youth
Label me as an enemy of the lost star
My family's not too happy with the trouble that I've caused
See we be breaking the law
Somking on non-menthols thinking fast so I'm ready for any all out brawls
And ya. Brothers get your hustle on
Ballers and get your shit tight
House parties get shot up
And turned up before midnight
Drive-bys and fistfights
Zig zag and crack pipes
There's a fifty fifty chance
i will say that i might be over
my love pretty little sister
i will give my body to her
I'm walking around this crazy town
i fond the same old faces
this crowd brings me down
and if you think that's just wait
about a few more hours
in my book why be lazy
I've been walking around
through this crazy town
let's just move up on
to my over conscience
