[Slug]
Atmosphere... Atmosphere.... Atmosphere [Slug] Atmosphere and maybe you don't like us But of all the stars in the sky believe we're one of the brightest My life is as tright as your favorite rap record And I'm possed with that insight that enables me to laugh better From the last letter back to the A come around my way Out of the wrapping paper with out the f**king holiday Can't never be captured they can toy with my shell But only after they walk on my backwards through b-boy hell From hear on out the sun rises at noon thirty And didn't quit pressing till the whole f-ing room heard me Soon the birdy will fly with or with out the wings As strange as the equator, as nosy as the outscenes Let the poppers pop let the breakers break Make the dj's and the assholes and all the rappers snakes Well most graph writers are wierdos now a days So I hang out with myself and a rafter and a belt Every chapter that I happen to skim Appears if it must of been written by me or the brothers grim And the moral to the story comes equipped with a sting Once again I'm picked for the wrong f**king scene (f**king scene) [Slug] Now I'm sleeping on floors of temporary friends But I'm keeping the store front as clean as I can And I'm sweeping the sky for today's revelation And I'm needing some time and some proper ventillation And I'm building a house for everyone to hold And I'm filling your mouth with the keys to my soul And your spitting me out piece together the puzzle You got to get it all out while your learning how to juggle And the bricks weigh more then they led you to believe Remember never let nobody leave you to believe September was the first time I had to breathe So I learned to hate harvest, started at a trick up it's sleave Not f**king with the jones'es, I guess that I been jones'en so much nothing gets noticed but the mess And I've spoken my stress through and empty beer can And it goes one Minnesota, two Minnesota, three And Atmosphere..... |

I'm a slow typer, a so-so writer
Been the shit ever since I was an infant in diapers And Imma be dope all the way to the end From the cradle to the grave, the pampers to the depends Get enough love, got enough friends But on a regular basis, it's safe to say I got the bends And I didn't mean to ignore that vibe you sent I guess my mind was probably on my rent I got my mind on my tummy and my tummy on my mind Some assembly required, let me run it down the line The factory is open, time card punched Until lunchtime, it's crunch time Back to work fool. First rule is to keep the verse true, even if it hurts you You gotta wear the pain like a stain Respect the listener, respect the game Because there's more to gain than just some dinner and fame Gimme the money, but don't you dare stop there Gimme the mic, that's the tool, and I play it cool Gimme the life, I seen things that used to be dreams Gimme the love, my name's Slug, gimme a pound or a hug And I'mma play this game I just wanna say all I really want is for you to remember my name And Imma run for as long as I'm allowed Hope to god I inspire some of yall See I'm that cat that used to sit in the back and study Looking for some proof that god loves ugly Flash forward a decade later in your town Somehow a good number of yall got down And it's solid, fresh, dope, whatever you wanna call it Not bad for an aspiring sociopathic alcoholic Aw shit, look at Slug, still rockin the same outfit Tryin' to make the belly grow bigger than the wallet Hey yo man, how you doin, how you been Just makin it cool to rap about love again Not the hippie stuff, I'm talkin bout that bitch that gets you nuts (Did he say bitch?) Yo I'm sorry, don't tell my baby's mommy Speakin of baby, There'll be a crateful of albums for my son to page through Thinkin daddy was a gun With a handful of heads that put me up til they had some samples from Ant and fake them what the f**k I said Still goin, still maintainin, still standin in the land of snow and purple rain And I'm still waitin for my date to kiss me or slap me Cause there ain't no way that I can be happy when I'm happy Gimme the money, but don't you dare stop there Gimme the mic, that's the tool, and I play it cool Gimme the life, I've seen things that used to be dreams Gimme the love, my name's Slug, gimme a pound or a hug And I'mma play this game I just wanna say all I really want is for you to remember my name And Imma run for as long as I'm allowed Hope to god I inspire some of yall I've had the pleasure of speaking with some of you ( yeah you) Come on now, don't act like you don't know who I'm talkin to After that show, when you approached me like you know me The cd I sold you, the secrets that you told me On that world you vision, through the layers of tears The ones you choke and keep hidden when the players are near I watch you chase it with beers and frustration and fear Try to figure out why the hell I came here Well I don't know either, and I'm not ready to take a breather neither All I know is I'm still a believer So you can beat me up, or you can beat me off Pick a side, any side, and let me do my job If you've got a lot of love to give, but you don't know who to give it to Imma turn out the lights and light this cigarette And write a song about you (this one's for you) Gimme the money, but don't you dare stop there Gimme the mic, that's the tool, and I play it cool Gimme the life, I've seen things that used to be dreams Gimme the love, my name's Slug, gimme a pound or a hug And I'mma play this game I just wanna say all I really want is for you to remember my name And Imma run for as long as I'm allowed Hope to god I inspire some of yall Please god (but don't you dare stop there) that's the tool and I play it cool I've seen things that used to be dreams The name's Slug, girl, gimme a hug |

I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
난 마치 포주의 피어싱 링처럼 흉터를 지니고 I live life like the captain of a sinking ship 침몰하는 배의 선장처럼 삶을 살지 The one thing that i can guarantee 내가 보장할 수 있는 한가지는 I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me 난 마치 면도날 같단 것, 그러니 날 잘 대하길 바래 Been payin dues for a decade plus, 10년 이상을 빚을 치러왔지 Before that i was just another face on the bus 그 전에 나는 그저 버스를 탄 수많은 얼굴 중 하나로 Tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio 라디오에서 나오는 음악에 맞춰 발을 두드리며 Dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies 마이크와 돈과 여자들에 대해 꿈을 꾸던 사내 Oh mom, i promise im gonna be large 오 엄마, 진짜 저 잘 될거라고 약속해요 Someday im gonna stop tryin to borrow your car 언젠간 엄마 차도 그만 빌릴 때가 올 거에요 Gonna go far, with charisma and skill 카리스마와 스킬로, 최대한 멀리 가야지 Until they put my face on a million dollar bill 100만 달러 지폐에 내 얼굴이 나올 때까지 Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word Atmosphere, 그저 10글자로 이루어진 단어 Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird 신중함은 내 시멘트 깃털 새의 이름 And if you didnt hear, fuck whatevers heard 만약 듣지 못했다면, 뭘 들었건 상관 없어 I think you got the sickness i suggest you get it cured 너한텐 병이 있는거 같아, 어서 고치지 그래 Caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix 흥분제가 가득찬 술병 속에 묻힌 채로 Im gonna hobble down the street 'til i reach knob creek 난 문고리를 잡을 때까지 거리를 절뚝거리며 걸어갈거야 Its not that i dont like you, i just dont wanna speak 널 싫어하는게 아냐, 그냥 말하기 싫을 뿐이라고 You fuckin freak 이 정신병자야 Now keep your days out my week 이제 내 주(week)에서 네 일(day)들을 빼길 The world keeps a balance, through mathematics 세상은 수학을 통해서, 균형을 유지하고 Defined by whatever youve added and subtracted 네가 더하고 빼는 것에 의해서 만들어져 Im pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain 난 총을 가지고 밀어붙여, 뇌의 방아쇠를 당기기 위해 Embrace how i live it, god loves ugly 그냥 내 삶을 포용해주길, 신은 추함을 사랑하니까 [chorus] God loves ugly... 신은 추함을 사랑해... Once upon a time in minneapolis, yo 옛날옛적 Minneapolis에서, yo I damn near had to steal the show 난 거의 쇼를 훔쳐야했었지 I stepped on the stage, who is it? 무대 위로 올라갔어, 누구야? My names slug ive come to kill a couple minutes 이름은 Slug, 2-3분쯤 죽이려고 왔어 Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other 모두가 서로의 소리를 훔치기 위해 서로를 So they can steal each others sound 감싸는 모습, 대체 어떻게 된거야 If its all about gettin down with the get down 만약 이게 그저 함께하는 거에 관련된 일이라면 How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down? 얼마나 오랫동안 바보들이 앉기를 기다려야 하는지? Appears more clear in its simplest form 단순한 형태를 띈 것은 더 확실하게 보이지 Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm 아무도 폭풍 속에서는 눈물을 보아주지 않아 Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest 나는 기준을 버리고, 수확물을 거두고 Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships 고난의 깊이에 따라서 가치를 측정하지 I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name 내 이름을 향해 보내는 모든 증오를 환영해 I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game 이 게임을 하는 신성한 방법에 집착했지 When the soldiers started runnin short on rations 식량을 잃은 군대가 도망치기 시작할 때 I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin 난 달걀을 두드려, 부화를 촉진시키고 Make it happen 성공했지 And take this captain to the gallows 이 선장은 교수대로 데려가게나 I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow 난 여전히 우릴 얕은 곳으로 이끌어가 Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry 그림자와 얘기했더니, 걱정하지 말라고 충고해주네 He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury 그는 내가 나무를 심어 분노보다 높은 크기로 자라나게 하라고 했지 So give me some light, a little love and some liquid 그러니 약간의 빛과, 사랑과 물을 줘 Im gonna creep through the night 이 밤을 헤치고 기어가 And put a plug in the spigot 수도꼭지 구멍에 플러그를 꼽아야지 And when the water grows 만약 물이 쌓이고 And the dam starts to overflow 댐을 넘쳐흐르기 시작하거든 Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly 난 그 물 위에 떠있을게, 이 추한 모습을 가지고 [chorus] Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen 왜 소릴 질러, 와이드 스크린에 자신을 바칠 수 있는데 Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream 삶을 녹은 아이스크림이 담긴 접시 혹은 Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams 내 조준에 걸려든 사슴이 되게 만들어봐 Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff 전조등을 키고 달려, 두려움에 몸이 굳은채 Reality is just too much to bear with 현실은 견디기엔 너무 힘든 것 Paranoid, walkin around careless 편집증을 보이면서, 주의없이 걸어다니지 No wonder youre in love with your therapist 그러니 당연히 넌 주치의와 사랑에 빠진거겠지 Go to sleep my little time bomb 이제 잘 자렴, 내 귀여운 시한폭탄아 |

Slug: 'I didn't say nothin'.'
Girl: 'What?' Slug: 'I didn't say nothin'.'' Girl: 'Yes you did.' Slug: 'No I didn't.' Girl: 'No you didn't say anything, you just looked at me funny like I'm some sort of f**king freak.' Slug: 'I didn't look at you.' Girl: 'Yeah, you looked at me.' Slug: 'No.' Girl: 'Yeah, you f**king did.' Slug: 'What do you mean freak?' Who's this one about? Who's this one about?... [Slug] These headphones keep me from rememberin' (rememberin') Also guilty of letting me not forget (also guilty) What type of harvest will September bring? (beckoning) Everyone to put him to that test (Somebody please kill me) I've got a sickness, it feels like love It's not contagious, take off the gloves Drop your defenses, apply a coat of perfect I'll form the sentences you try to interpret It'd all be so simple if I was rich (But I'm not) But I'm not so I compensate with thought (I got a lot) I got a lot of nothin' that you need to know (Ay yo) You would think he wasn't aware of the glow (Where'd you go?) Swimmin' in a bottle of imposters Losin' my ground in the name of takin' it farther We can thumb wrestle or we can make a daughter I thought it was supposed to get easier when you worked harder Stole the city, I still feel helpless Baited the hook and caught me a shellfish (?selfish?) I'm gonna gut it, clean it, cook it, feed it to a she(?) And see if I can get her to need me [Chorus x2] And now I'm standin' at the bottom of the steps And if I tilt my head a little I can look up her dress And I'm willin' to bet that she'd move if she knew So I'ma tap her on the shoulder, I'ma give her a clue [Slug] All it takes is a stroll down the street A pro and he greets and he sold the life to me Showed you the meaning of the artery he keeps on the end of his sleeve As he pretends he can breathe Lend me a piece of your superiority I feel alone on this mission, I'm wishin' there was more of me A pair of me, apparently I'm a parasite caught inside a paradox A paradise, a parody, the hair police have got what you need For you to get over me and move on with Godspeed I'd let it all go and break eggs for a livin' If I wasn't so conditioned to just take what I'm given Get it, got it, catch it, caught it, and lost it Yet I can't stop it, it's embedded in my optics Plus the frustration is a product of the gossip If you can't walk away can you at least change the topic? Overextended the amount of time allotted Broke the engine, I don't know, cracked the block Now I'm standin' at this gravel roadside festival And I ain't tryin' to move cause this view is incredible [Chorus x2] Standin' at the bottom of the steps And if I tilt my head a little I can look up her dress And I'm willin' to bet that she'd move if she knew So I'ma tap her on the shoulder, I'ma give her a clue [Slug] Fall in love with all of she (Fall in love with all of she) Hasn't stopped callin' me (Hasn't stopped callin' me) Message in a bottle (There's a message in a bottle) And I stepped inside a pothole (I stepped inside a pothole) Somehow forgot my name (Somehow forgot my name) Blew out the flame (She blew out the flame) A means to an end (A means to an end) Can't even be friends, it's a song about a friend She's still in my dreams (She steals all my dreams) Angel spread your wings (Angel spread your wings) Tryin' to comprehend (I'm still tryin' to comprehend) Can't even be friends, it's a song about a friend [Slug talking] All together...(Crowd: WHOOO!) Smile while you do that shit, you know what I'm saying? Cause like some of ya'll, if you ain't smilin' you're ugly I swear to God Alright, some neat ones (?Shaniquas?) Alright, on the count of three. 1. 2. |

From the fifth floor, I schedule my meeting with the moon,
Stress, let it go, so it don't completely consume. When the vegetables fight back, and the grass starts to sting, I yell up to Heaven to get me the hell out of this dream. I fell out of my stream of self-consciousness, and I've got welts on my mind to signify all my accomplishments. No matter whose math you use to count to ten, progress will never rest in the hand that has no head. Bought my brain a cane, asked it to be my pimp You know, to make sure I don't stuck up in my f**k-ups. A little over anxious I was to bust nuts, and find the answers making love, out of a canvas full of touch-ups. I dipped my brush into the what, I've wept for, and wonder out loud as I can, how long I've slept for. I should rob a pet store, let the dogs wild, I should close all the schools just to make the kids smile. Seize the limit, let the sky be the moment, but the key to the ignition I'm a ride these doughnuts. And when it breaks, lock the door, walk away, won't be nothing else to talk about, nothing else to say. Chorus: See I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. See I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away... Let's stand on the corner, throw rocks at people, so there's no surprises, written off as evil. I sleep next to women that I don't deserve, they like to hurt my pride, while I work their nerves. Once upon a time it was worth it when the urges get fed, and the purpose finds a path to the surface. Is respect considered a breakfast food, I'm guilty of the type of attitude that wrecks your mood. The truth can be pain, and I hate to do it, either face the music, or get away from me stupid. Super glue it down, now it better not move, See I'm not the best, but I'm in the top two. And I'm not that friendly when this cup is empty, It's a side effect from trying to find the f**ks that sent me. See I didn't just tap it, I was made this way, by the same egomaniac that paved this way. See I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. I'm just waiting for the moment I can break away, the only reason that I stay so I can save the day. See I gave up lying, but I still tip-toe, I'm as stubborn as they come, and I'm known to hit low. If I had a chisel, I would carve out a hole for me to hide in every time the mighty wind blows. Since no one knows, where the hell we gonna go, I'm a stand right here, until the end of the show. I'm a clap my hands, so don't pass the chance, to unsnap my pants, get on my lap and dance. No longer am I mad about the things I don't have, all I'm living for is love and laughs. The last star fighters weapons were rendered useless, So we pulled the scissors. and cut the chord to end this music. |

Individually wrapped, placed in neat little rows
Becoming A piece, of everything that grows Some numbers, A name, to indicate you played the game Came empty handed and left the same A soul is A soul and A shell is A shell The border in between is full of everything you felt Some cling to A cross because they're tired and lost They leave it up to the weather to measure the cost And everytime I look within I recognize the darkness Familiar to the image of the artist Staring at the bathroom mirror in A strangers apartment Can't remember her name, don't remember how I got here But here I am, thinking about death again Humbles out the stress, helps the breath get in I need to check my friends as well as my next of kin To let them know I love them all to the end And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a few last words I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream 'Love your life!' Love your life, quite cliche but I guess thats me A ball of pop culture with some arms and feet As discrete as I've tried to keep the drama and cancer It's no secret I hunger for someone to feed the answers I never expected a bowl of cherries I'm just a virgo trying to find my own version of the virgin mary And when I let them carry me to a cemetary I wanna be buried with a pocket full of clarity (Chorus) Now, how many times must you prove you're an angel How many more demons do you have to strangle How much longer must you remain in this dream Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius How many times must you prove you're an angel How many more demons do you have to strangle How much longer must you remain in this dream Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius Let no tears to fall from none of y'all Just remember it all, the beauty as well as the flaws L-O-V-E L-I-F-E Here lies Sean, finally free And as I look across the sea I smile at the sun While it feeds the weeds the nutrition they need The people still breathe, the city still bleeds I'm going to love it to death and keep planting my seeds I'm going to love it to death and keep an eye on the seeds I'll be in love till im dead, I keep reaching the seeds I'll give all I got left just to teach you to read Love life to the death and keep planting my seeds And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes And if she has the nerve, to let me dump a couple last words I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream (Love your life) (Chorus) LOVELIFE (x16) |

"Take a deep breath relax, don't push it on out."(x2)
Somebody please explain to them what it be about "Take a deep breath relax, don't push it on out."(x2) Somebody please explain to them what it be about They can't sleep yet, too many re-grets Got em running round in circles for the re-spect They need the gossip, but where's the logic? Voices in the box guarantee a better product So here I sit now, and watch em trip out Trying to pick a finger to put upon what its about But if there was a point, you would still avoid You should've taught the boys and girls how to take apart their toys I stay up-set,with all the pup-pets submerged in the drama cuz they love it That if they can hold the pain, and then they complain Why would you chase away the sun if you don't want the rain? I never asked for the world, just a portion Tryin to make a good soldier out of daddy's little orphan But management called down, demanded that we turned the sound down And with that, I suggest we start the count-down Simplistic spiral and work your way backwards 'Til the bastards collapse and choke on their last words And I'll be back when its happy hour So just pour me another and ignore me my brother [Chorus] Breathe in, breathe out, the sign says "keep out" Breathe in, breathe out, somebody please explain to them what it be about Breathe in, breathe out, the sign says "keep out" Somebody fill up my gut before I freak out Low profile, no more smiles, til all of y'all quit acting so damn wild Slow down child, you're gonna lose balance, too overanxious, the goods will get damaged Girl, how many stories can you fit into a tanktop? How many wishes get spent on what you ain't got? The youth want truth, well thank god Tryin to keep it movin, while you're sittin in the same spot Been in this cage for a long time (long time) Been coverin this page with the wrong rhymes (wrong rhymes) Got a strong mind, I got a weak will I've got bad nerves and I can't keep still But I stay humble, so when the meek take the planet I can get a little piece with my name on it The only problem is by then I won't want it I'm in the backyard praying and hoping for the comet Are you lookin to remember or searchin for adventure? I guess it all depends on the agenda Do you carry a grudge? Do you carry a gun? I guess it all depends on where you come from Surroundings are gonna dictate the needs I'm out, I wanna live around lakes and trees And I'll be back when its happy hour So just pour me another and ignore me my brother [Chorus] Breathe in... |

I do believe in monsters, I call them officers I know enough to know to keep an eye on how I talk to them Some of ya'll are peace, but even one two many Is still a decent number for the breeding of a beast With no release, she keeps and teaches no remorse More resembling of a thief than a horse Plans long range, attached to some fangs And an arm that's strong, watch the song when they change Nothing's strange, cause you know before you saw it It's all the same, there ain't no such thing as flawless But all I want is a little more security A little more safety, a lot less uncertainty Override the circuitry, the sun is your god(?) Recognize the urgency, uncover your eyes When I turn on the lights, she vanishes, hides But I can feel here essence in the air Acknowledge the night stalker and regard her as a hunter Count the amount she takes from the slumber Summer ain't as hot as you would think Martyr(?) the child that wears the target for the teeth to sink [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This country's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This city's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge [Slug] She lurks in the alleys with the wrong reality Allegiance, honor, keep it all in the family Consumes the young, blind, deaf, and the dumb Drains the vein and puts them under the thumb She's on the television, celebrate status quo Energy, push mute on the remote control Break the beats, shatter the measure to pieces All I've left is the breath and the will to prove the thesis It's difficult to figure out who to fear Gettin' older by the minute, younger by the year Will the hunger disappear, metabolism slow World domination is the goal Now let's gather the kids, and take em' out to the sticks Teach em' all how to live, come take my hand and walk with me Before the vampires lock down the Twin Cities [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This country's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This city's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge [Slug] Through the mud of the evening she trudges The name, the blood is tainted with traces of loveless From up above, truth watches in bewilderment Contemplating how he really isn't feeling it Just another chapter of another moving picture Another after thought looking for a new elixir But if she goes even when she has to climb Out the window, out of sight, out of mind Look out for me below because I've never been on top of nothin' Other than a stove inside a pot of water bubblin' And boilin' between a puzzle and poison Two games in the same toy bin But when my times comes you better beat the drums And aim the guns at the ones that eat the young If we let her, she'll do whatever it takes to survive You don't stop till you take her life [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This country's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This city's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge [Little Girl's Voice] I don't wanna to go (???) And she's really ugly Check the orphanage... [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge All of ya'll are vampires, you eat your kids |

*whispers* Come on, let's go She abandoned me, left me out in the cold No surprises, I guess that's how it goes Sits across from me, at a booth in this dive(?) I contemplate how much more I can survive But I'm alive, so I should be content Then tell why the hell my whole world is bent I was sentiment can frustrate the population In-between the alcohol and the copulation What you call it, if you build it I will break it What's wrong? How you doin'? Nah, save it Gave it(?her?) a fraction of all I had to give I guess I hold a grudge, cause you still got my rib With your beautiful eyes, unscrupulous lies Now watch the circus clown run around in circles and try Seems like all I get to eat is hope Girl, if we got along better we'd be dope [Sample] Oh walls, they surround me Loneliness, has found me [Slug] And for as much as I complain, I'm lovin' it And I only mention it so that I can rub it in Wake up to the sunlight, shake off last night Check what's left and try to get the rest right Decision, splitting headache lifting Symptoms matching, mama was afraid of it Knowledge of self ain't as evil as they made it Call it what you want, if you build it they will break it The plain truth, there's no substitute But sometimes she bares the disguise (yes you do) A story teller kills(?) with life not hope Girl, if we got along better we'd be dope And that's the sound that a dog will make when he's just been hit by a car And that's the tone that hits close to home, when the cocaine outlives the star And that's the noise that disrupts the boys when the cue ball smacks it goal(?) And these are the words that disturb your earth when I walk away with your hope |

[Slug talking to crowd]
I'm different because I respect my audience and I don't yell at them... And I'm special because I respect my audience... (Guy in crowd: YA!) SHUT THE F**K UP! [Slug] The way she listen to what the MC said She might as well plug the RCA cords into her head Taking that into consideration, at the center of creation Cats still criticize my frustration raps Well off he goes, come and cop some flows Cross your toes in hopes that I don't climb you like an obstacle Mission Impossible, fishin' in the kitchen sink Ya'll'll fall for anything so what you think this kid'll bring? Poker face, let me hold my place, the name's sake(?) Slug But you? You can call me so(?) grace Open invitation to catch today's ejaculation All across the front of your pretty little apron (Bitch) This goes to those that wanna mouthful of Sean's load Thanks for startin' now you're barkin' down the wrong road Sacrifice plays a part in grabbin' mics from now till the afterlife I'll continue, pass(?) it like I love this f**kin' whore with all my heart And ain't nobody gonna stop me from doin' my part It gave me life, it saved me life, it raised me right So slideshow decide (slide shoulder side), and please hand over that mic [Chorus x2] Who am I? [2nd: What is this?] One of a kind Send em' one at time You're all the same Only separate by kick snares and names Some of ya'll even share the same names So f**k you and your lies baby show no shame [Slug] So point a finger at the sucker that's havin' a good summer Ain't got no bread, no wheat, no Wonder But I got the phone number to this weakness I know Who can put me back together, make me feel whole So take me apart, try to break me down And spend all you got just to hate the clown You can fake the frown, imitate the sound Underworld, worldwide, wide world of underground It goes one little, two little, three little indie rap Headphones, backpack, watch em' all piggy back Switch up my styles, they all complain but see Which kids next year sound the same as me! The same shit, yesterday was like today Only difference is I trust even less of what you say But all in all, I still make the noise I still break the toys, I still hate your voice I still say, 'F**k a major label till it limps!' Put your deal upon our table and we'll show you who's the pimp There is no sympathy for the careless F**k the extra credit, and f**k the demerits Class dismissed [Chorus x2] One of a kind Send em' one at time You're all the same Only separate by kick snares and names Some of ya'll even share the same names So f**k you and your lies baby show no shame What is this? Who am I? One of a kind, one at a time... So f**k you and your lies baby show no shame |

Shrapnel... I can't remember who asked me, but someone asked me How long I thought that I would be allowed atop this trash heap I didn't answer cause I'm tired of criticizing the masses Inspired the support the devouring of the self All the power to the people who dig potholes Placed me in a glass case full of lost treasures and fossils Got a right to be hostile, my love is gettin' gang raped By an army full money hungry crocodiles Quantity is up, market in a flood But the party over here has never steered through this much love I'll take the laughter, but I'd rather have the women Who am I kiddin'? I'll be content with whatever I'm givin' Work for food, rent, sex, money, or water I don't know what else that you have to offer Your first born daughter? No need, already got her She came to the set hungry and left hot and bothered My posse's full of women, computer nerds, and thugs Much to my dismay, I'm none of the above. Someday I'ma be the mack of the minute And you were so damn good I'ma have to forget it Listen to the mimic, it's almost on Drink, tigga(?) hit me with a tall potion(?) Think quick, how much more insult Will it take for me to break your light bulb Shrapnel... [Chorus x2] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?) Of course I've came to show you shrapnel [Slug] Check your mail, climb your ladder Count the pieces you've managed to gather Does it matter? What are you trying to achieve? Let go of your throat if you're dying to breathe And finally we've begun to make a little progress Ain't a single dock in this river that can stop us Lost in the mix like a feeble(?) over dub Got me screaming at these shippin' till these people know what's up Yeah Slug's back, but his collection of hub caps Caught a buzzin' brought a notebook full of love raps Open the pipes and tuck that voice in I'ma sit on this corner and nibble on my poison Baby once in awhile I find a reason to smile But most the time it's spent deep in denial It's all make believe, I want the cake to eat But this lake's too deep, tryin' to stand on two feet Wonderin' about the thunder runnin' through this blood I try to keep my cool, but the hat fits too snug Study the love, took my degree Shoved it into a bottle, chucked it into the sea Shrapnel... [Chorus x2] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?) Of course I've came to show you shrapnel Shrapnel... [Chorus x4] Shards of pull cards scattered on the carpet It's hard to breathe cause you wear a fitted target Tug upon a choke chain, travel the code rain(?) Of course I've came to show you shrapnel Shrapnel...(repeated to end) I am not ugly (reversed) |
