lyrics

Man i'm running outta shit to say
And creative ways say it
I'm tired of the game at least the way we play it
Considered crazy, a loser, too lazy to turn the venom i stored as momentum to
maneuver
If this moves ya
We in the same shoes, sneakers, loafers where no hope is
And at most its a zero sum game of addition
in the midst of a war of attrition looking for ammunition
malnourished by nature i flourished on hate ya find once it pays ya it don't phase ya
I'll amaze ya with wordplay wit and a sense of humor i use to deflect rumors as soon as
i sense the tumor
Cuz hearsay is malignant and artists these days stay indignant
I keep em terrified turning lighter shades than my pigment
Like they seen a poltergeist every time i touch an open mic
But i'm broken like concentration

like Ginsberg saw the greatest minds of his generation eaten by Madness wore their
skulls like a decoration
...shit, (i know) this sounds like desperation

Verse 2
My brain's three quarters rigor mortis
frozen in death throes darker than caves lit by torches and i'm tortured by the still
frames
... the imagery of these ill games that gains access to low hanging fruit
like a poisonous abscess in roots of a tooth decaying the truth relaying the proof
in the pictures i paint i'm no saint but i scribble these scriptures in quaint rooms
I sit where the pain looms and lingers in my body like the stingers of a brown recluse
through (my) fingers to the page so when the crowds let loose
let the predator prowl upon my enemies now
Most are dead to me now They pretend to be down and then depend on me for
tender mercy
It deserts me in the moment
I'm bloodthirsty
Beyond rational thought so when the natural part of my frontal lobe(s)(goes) dulling like
a savages - heart running overtime thumping like a rabbit that's caught
ravenous brain analogous with that which is art
I'm so callous to the point of seeing malice as smart
That when we to eat our own young i think we're doing our part
