Shake Us Off

T-minus ten sixteen and counting
twenty sixty and it keeps on mounting
it seems we’re counting up
the world is clicking down
we keep spinning in circles
revolving round and round
nobody knows why
but Dr. Seuss was right
If Horton Hears a Who
then what did you hear tonight
if green eggs and ham
were my favorite dish
would i count 1,2,3, blue fish
but it doesn’t matter anymore
it’s not been written in stone
those books will just be burned
and they’ll erase all these tomes
and digital is just a facade
for what you think is true
and permanently etched
inside the storied stigma who
could always erase the facts
change the history books
and change the way your names pronounced
and change the way you look
and hide the photos of
your family and your loves
and destroy all the things
of the ones who really love
show how they really love
they show how they really love
and I’m one to talk
I want to take a walk
sleeping through the days
feel it in my heart
a real person beating
a shell of who I was
Just jaded by the world
Afraid of what to come
But I say no, I believe it all
I look straight ahead, I’ll never fall
But that’s just wishful thinking hun
But that’s just wishful thinking girl
But that’s just wishful thinking boy
But that’s just wishful thinking world
it’s the world that’s ashamed
of what we’ve all become
she’ll shake us off like fleas
As if it never has begun
A bigger kind of universe
A lifetime of our own
Whose to say it really matters
it’s not written in stone
Shell said it best
Where’s the sidewalk end?
There is no beginning
And there is a whole new edge
And beyond our eyes
A football shaped sky
I welcome all of you
to try and compromise
Til they come and go
On the knees they’ll know
They reveal their secrets
For others who never show
They don’t want the instance
They don’t want the truth
They don’t want to hear it from the man they persecute.
What you want, you want for yourself
He who loves more than himself, really just loves himself

You Can't Stop Me

echo through the halls of a little mind
know it all when I said I can recline
Smoke another joint and I lose myself
Even though I know I could never understand self
Til I recognize you, kinda like that effect you do
Kinda wanna back just a little bit, then you monitor and the switches
But I know that it feels the same, only trips me out in my brain
And I try to remember it’s a game, and I’m living my life without shame
And it comes to me in a dream, like a holocaust so obscene
I’ve been waking up thinking it’s friday, every fucking day every fuckin day
I’ve been waking up thinking it’s friday, every fucking day every fuckin day
I’ve been waking up thinking it’s friday, every fucking day every fuckin day...

uh, uh, bring me that, we dont care, we straight dont need shit
I'm about to grab another guitar and get right to it, dont get through with it, just keep that rhythm rockin and y'alll know that I'll be true with it, I come back with a vengence, I try to get repentence, from all those wounds I've mended, from all these fools I've sentenced, It's about time they recognize all these rules that I despise will compromise and they're not trillin', and now it's time to bring em to the alter of decision, and try to make an incision on how mental religions they have no place for superstitions, oh, bout to grab that flow, bout to grab my axe, bout to let it go, so keep that beat on moving, don't you ever stop from choosin' you to, keep it alive, keep it alive, keep it alive, keep it alive
Yo, we almost there, I can't compare, I just can't swear, I somewhat stare, into the mind of my SG, and then I know before I care, the strap lock is not quite working, but I think that I can jerk it, and berserk it, and I know that somewhere I will always work it, and It's not that hard, it's not like Scotland Yard, it's not like Jean Luc or Captain Picard, it's not like a question, a question mark, that only the riddler or the batman can solve, I just need another robin, to explain what while on it, and everytime I rock the hood you know that's why I'm followin', a different kind of reason, a different kind of season, and I don't want to do it just because if feels like treason, so what.

Comes through in lyrics
or something racist make me bite my lip
But I done it I done done dooze it
I done been true with it I done been trues its
I eat cheeze its I like to beats it
I like to do when I eat reeses pieces
I chew em not screw em I rip open the bag
pour em in my hand and I share with the whole fam
Just like you should, just like I would
Just like any motherfuckin would if they could
But that’s not how some people be
Selfish motherfuckers in society
Wont share that kit kat, share that snickers
Motherfuckers got their hands on the trigger
Waiting for you to fuck up just once
Blow your engine up or make you a dunce
One underneath six feet of soil
Just for their fuckin profits and oil
And it all boils down to matter of factly
Money is the power that we all lack see
A long paper chase that just never ends
Just like the sidewalk where does it begin
Oh, and the root of the problem
I don’t really know all the ways we can solve them
But I’ll tell you do it when it comes from the truest
It’s the top percent that just watch us do shit
Keep us locked down and oppressed
And make it all just good cuz what did you expect
If you were up there you would probably do
The same things that all they do
And who really knows if they’re really real
Or if it’s just some fucked up mass appeal
Keeps us running
Keeps us spinning
Is this life?
Are humans winning?
Hell no, we’re losing this game
We’re losing this race, with no sense of shame
Shout at the core, to do something more
They hold that shit knocking at your door
While you wait, why you share
Why are we separated in here
We’re all just locked up in this mess
Human privilege planet in excess
It could be, seek blindly
A civilization unwinding
And I don’t see time rewinding
Keeps fast forwarding and it’s lightning blinding
Speed, just get what I need
I can see the future and not one once of green
And the power control equals all
The money the funny the world spins off
The world
The world
The water is rising
The water is rising
The water is rising
The water is rising
The water is rising
The water is rising
The water is rising
The water is rising

ACT I
In the summer
They know the words
To the all the hum drum
Songs you’ve never heard
And in the winter
They locked in the silo
And plot their next move
Try to find a way to get away
Gotta harvest your crops
Gotta freeze what you got
Gotta hibernate a lot
Gotta save your energy for when it’s not
Cold outside
It’s gonna get hot
Cuz when it’s cold outside
You know it’s gonna get hot
And it wasn’t me
Who said it was all gone
And it wasn’t me
Who said it was all gone
If you loved someone
Like you loved yourself
Then the truth could be found
In a mirror instead
Then your life becomes
More than you are
And the world that’s numb
To the sound of bombs falling from afar
And the world becomes
A useless door
And the world becomes
A useless sore
And I love you
But you’ve got a lot to learn
And I’m hear to teach you
If you could fight the urge
To break it down
And listen for a while
To make you understand
That I’m only here for a little while
So make the best of what you’ve got
So make the best of what you feel
Make the best of what you’ve got
Make the most of what you feel
ACT II
When it’s loud out here
It’s time to go
When it’s loud out here
Til it’s gone
Through there’s truth be told
All we’ve got
Though theres truth be told
And it’ll all be gone
And this truth be told
And it’ll all be gone
He has all but been your savior
He has all but been yourself
He has all but been your savior
He has no one but yourself
Re-energized by the state of the world
Wanna see it all fall down
Well here’s your chance girl
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
He who wants it all (is bound to fail)
