You send me round the corner just my talking to me Yeah, I like it, do you mind if I mic it? How do you get your words split and reversed like everything you say is perverse? You’re not making any sense I can’t stand it when you’re giving — Mixed Messages And I have no interest when you’re spitting — Mixed Messages I can’t believe it when you’re yelling — Mixed Messages And I”m not buying what you’re selling — Mixed Messages You best believe that I’ve heard it before, Already know the score, don’t want to hear it anymore Sneaky when you’re flipping the script, when you’re tripping Everything is simply dripping with bullshhhhh Chorus Can I get just one more second to breathe and maybe then I’ll leave? Cuz I believe you just want to deceive These subtle rebuttals are placing weight on my slate Yeah maybe I just need a break

Strong Coffee 02:57

Monday when the sun comes up, I take a bite, take a bite of my coffee Gotta shake a little bit of that fog up off me Jolt to the veins, kickstart the brain I need satisfaction from that caffeine reaction I got a plan, want action motivation and traction CHORUS Everything I gotta do I’ll start it with a cup or two of elevated, caffeinated brew Hey — it’s like I just woke up Yeah — I know it’s time I grow up But I don't know if I could live without joe I just don't know A new day in the prime of youth is beautiful — Yea that’s the truth But if i’m going to get anything done i’m going to need another cup, yep, more than one Feels good when it hits the lips Energized by the first sip But can I get that joe to go? Because we've got so far to go Chorus Gonna get that cup and light it up Light that fuse like dynamite Am I mic’d enough? Yeah, get dangerous Ignite a little truth like youth on mission Not a thing to lose, now listen At least act like you know and when I get that joe, then here we go Chorus

I Only Dub Once a Week 04:15

I go a little crazy every day Every hour, every minute I’d like to get to a place where I only go once a week Wake up and I’m already tripping feels like I might be slipping Sometimes I get so fed up, Can’t get this stress to let up Corruption Destruction Frustration FRUSTRATION I wonder is it all over? Chorus I bet you feel it too, I bet it’s true I want to find some solace All this conflict’s causing mental menace What if we just change our ways? we broke the chains — this little phase? And only sunny days remained? Chorus Yea, I’m better, thanks Just a little bit mad at the banks The gun, the deaths and the rolling tanks It’s more than I can take A little pissed at the grocery stores The riots, murder and yeah the wars And feeling like a corporate whore I can’t escape the dread It's swimming in my head Maybe I’ll go back to bed Before I lose my mind Yea, I'm better thanks

Lost in my Thoughts 02:51
lyrics

I sat down in the middle of the street Just simply drifting, my brain was riffing I just want a little lift but the rift is evil — splitting the people Hey — I say power to the kids The current ones, the ones that already did And can we get back to the love in our heart? We’ll never get it finished if we don’t start

Natural Stupidity 03:30
lyrics

Listen up now, here we go I’ll pick simple words and I’ll say ‘em slow Sometimes I just don’t know Why we live in a shit show We could live much better than this And we know what we’re dealing with It seems so obvious That our brains are out to get us Natural intelligence — it’s really hated Natural stupidity — its celebrated We have solutions We have demands Want revolution But they don’t understand And we get so tired of this Getting mad at a system, listen, so Many things wrong, just wish we could fix ‘em Because we’ve got that vision But the ones up top don’t want to stop Going to let it rot Going to take what little we’ve got Because they've lost the plot Chorus It’s like a sabotage, these self-destructive tendencies Our stupidity — we are our own worst enemies Lighten up, this righteous is killing us, it’s villainous We only have one brain between us — that’s how it seems Chorus

All Right All Right OK 02:53

Can I get that microphone? Let me check my tone when I’m on my own It’s a beautiful day — ain’t nothing going to get in my way You’re going to listen to the words that I say I didn’t come here to play — All right all right ok I’m just a child, all grown up, still I’ve got no style The jokes that make me smile are mostly juvenile, now listen I’m never going to be that young again, going to be that hooligan "Do you remember when?" Can’t make it new again Got to keep on moving on with a brand song — y’all sing along Don’t care if you sing it wrong until the break of dawn And everything is gone Then we’ll know that we did it right, Unplug my microphone and say good night I know you love me so I don't understand why you would leave me — All right, all right ok Sometimes we wonder if the thunder that rumbles is worth the struggle and trouble it brings …. uh huh We don’t like that stress, don’t like the mess and depression like every minor obsession is an offensive confession, ok? See now what I’m getting at? When I wrote this verse it was not the first, whole lotta words and I think I’m cursed But it’s not the worst, I’ll keep nursing verses in the hearse Notebook in a canvas bag, I don’t mean to brag, but I write it down or become a drag And I know you’re not really gone, Weren’t even gone that long but it fit the song, like "ooh wee, woe is me — check out my poetry" I’m still that kid that scribbled rage in '86 Can I get that microphone? Let me check my tone when I’m on my own? Chorus What do you want now? Cuz what you see is what you get
