They said sign on the line, and you asked them 'Where's the ink at?' So low, didn't think that you could sink that Thought you could have it all, why in the world would you think that? Now, avoiding being greedy is an easy way to spring back Mirror on the wall, who's the greediest of them all? Confusing wants and needs- that's the easiest way to fall We need motivation, contemplation Not complacence, occupation Politicians like to drop their bombs a lot But not explain it They lock their doors in office halls To hide and plot and trade with satan Garnish wages, stock the slaveship Fund the famous, not the nameless It's common knowledge knowledge saves But college cost is bargain basement They tied the tube to bind the youth In chains and keep them locked in cages Ineducation in entertainment Awful lots of product placement Saving face is all the rage It's gone the days of honest statements We concentrate on connotations Swastikas and Stars of David Our power's out across the nation God just lost a generation They stole the art, and soul and heart We've grown apart, we've gotta change it Feel like saying fuck the boss I'm off the clock and on vacation ...In short we need correction In short we need connection In short we need expression And some sort of direction Let's look for direction You can't soar with no direction What is movement for with no direction? Once more, look for direction

Enough with the bullshit (Big Tenn) Sick of the humiliation, thinking about retaliation Never had a real vacation from the bullshit dreams we're chasing I'm tired of these hard times Always working part time Writing in my spare time Trying to get some air time I got this hunger, I drive the clunker Back to the bunker to plot another plunder There is no trying, I'm living or dying Out here steady grinding even with this heavy lightning It's Big Tenn here from the Animal Team It's time to step up, I'm taking the lead (Phat Zach) Tired of the bullshit Everyday I wake up Baby momma fucking with me I'm just trying to get my cake up Straight up, I'd rob my momma for a dolla I got a kid to feed, but I'm trying to make the hos holla Friday night and I just got paid Should I get Similac or should I get some jays?

I got the credit, like visa Lots of interest, keep my feet up Cannot diminish, I run this race From start to finish, at this rate I'll probably win it, push it up a pace When it burns, confront the pain Who wants it more?

Days on the calendar, ways to balance the Challenge of living up the spinning that the planet does 'Cause days go by without us knowing And it ain't no lie that time flies like a Boeing Plain to see we need more days, months, years Hours, minutes, second thought screw it Live it up before it's just a box with an 'X' through it Cause the days go by, so live 'em up Tuning in, metaphorically enhancing Topographic images of mother earth's Turf intermittently made evident Then incorporated into marking eternity Through thoughtful intelligent measurement of electromagnetism That's how I bang the rhythm That's how I harness freedom That's how I carpe diem Won't be sold rolling stones up hills for no reason Moltres to Articuno, yo I char and freeze them Level up, accrue currency and get well 'Cause health is wealth is the only thing that will tell In a world where time's unraveling's perpetual Regular intervals of self reflection are critical If you're feeling what I'm saying say 'true that' 'Cause other motherfuckers can't do that If you're feeling what I'm saying say 'true that' 'Cause other motherfuckers won't do that Now do you do what you wanna do? hell yeah And is it what you knew you always wanted to? hell yeah I say don't reach for the sun it's too hot to touch I mean just keep it realistic and also don't give up Now do you do what you wanna do? hell yeah And is it what you knew you always wanted to? hell yeah Might as well have no regrets when you 'X' off that box 'Cause we don't got a lot, it's like necesitamos más

In the spotlight Grab the sunglasses, throw the coats away It's hot like heatwaves over the lower 48 From the Verrazano-Narrows to the Golden Gate Zoom in, number one in the nation, no there's no debate Between the Mississippi and Missouri, yo, behold the state You know we wreck, it's IA, no d-tec needed to close the case We control the pace, no disrespect to Indy But indeed, when in the D, you can feel the energy The land that will stop your heart rate, man it's wild Dead meat's on the top shelf in the dirty money aisle It's where the rivers kiss and the Interstates hug My city is a getaway hub, home of the AAA Cubs Where sec taylor set slayers spit on your principles And rip the stage up Every thought is constant, always on it day and night And every word is eternal, fan the flames, it's bright Every time its heard is a hurdle over pain and strife And every sentence is forever, man, I'm here for life From Gary Grice to Jerry Rice I pilot on and carry flights Forget the blank stares, I came to escalate, elevate Classrooms from vast tombs and lairs of mice to paradise A chalkboard, desk and chairs to Mic is like hairs to lice Keep it cool or I'll make you see spots like the glare from lights Take me down, I'll get up again like when they buried Christ 10, 9, 8, etc., and then I'm heading up Shine like stars, burn into your retina Your love turned out to be lust, it's just a weak perversion When I say 'light', I don't mean a weaker version If you try to act strong, but know that you're a meager person It's not a sign of weakness to seek conversion Giants to the Giants, minus climates define us Bet you never met warriors so sick with the science Electron bonds spark the contrasts so stark MICL Phelps, swimming among the devils and sharks Haters say it's so sub-par, so freaking what? Honest, no need to front, modest, don't need too much White picket fence, front yard with a Beatles cut Veggie garden, Mike Tyson vegan style beefing up State troopers let the governor speed So I valet and parley wherever I please When that empire falls and you rush west for gold Take a break off the 80 to replenish the soul In the spot light

Get up, get up Hop the turnstyle, all aboard On the paper i collect my thoughts and then connect the dots Jot it down if it sounds space bound like Spock Around the clock, to work I get down, like the ground or like I'm shot Short on brevity, words I got longevity, won't stop Let it spin around like a top, that's what I stay on Due to the utilization of language that's colorful like a crayon The mind sharpener, penned inside the box never Putting the pieces in place like boards that are checkered Get down, get down All passengers must exit at the next stop All that's raised today decays away come tomorrow So tell God thanks for the heart tanks you borrowed We'll probably die within the century so do some fun shit But peace to anyone who does see 2100 Be the change you wanna see, that's all that makes a hero Keep on fighting like Megaman and Zero Just don't get passed up like the Doppler effect Life is like a rail car ride that shit into the sunset (sample: 'The train will come again.' 'To be continued.')
