| And I bomb the room
|
| And I change the weather
|
| And I feel the pulse
|
| And I see results from these scattershot thoughts that I string together
|
| Better and better, but steady, the weather
|
| Is not so kind to a man who has got it together
|
| He is blind to believe he is better forever
|
| Realizing the rhyming is better than ever
|
| Knock on wood
|
| Please be good
|
| Take my girl out of the hood
|
| Make me rich
|
| Keep me cheap
|
| Buy my kid something to eat
|
| In my memory, got a little tendency for levity in grave situations, see
|
| I’m the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral and cries when my song’s on the
|
| radio playing
|
| And lately my vision’s been filtered through prisms, which I think is symbolism
|
| for indecision
|
| But I can’t tell
|
| And lately my nightmares the type where you wake and they with you,
|
| take it with you
|
| Make you wish you show got cancelled
|
| I tell you there’s no surprise, I look in your eyes and see that you believe in
|
| me
|
| Like a bigot believes in God
|
| Like I was assigned to be a model man
|
| A citizen
|
| A person
|
| I ran into the sinner man and fell into the gin again
|
| Kiss me, I’m beautiful
|
| Busy, and dutiful
|
| My world is new to you
|
| ‘Cause I walked a route or two
|
| To find a wall around the world
|
| I wanna curl up in a ball and wake up in the morning
|
| Back up in this office
|
| Muddling practice
|
| Suddenly action
|
| Never know traction ‘cept for my passion
|
| No possessions worth anything
|
| Can I ask my money back man?
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| When it ricochet, there won’t be shit to say
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| Shit to say
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| You pricks afraid?
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| You can look away, ‘til it blow up in ya face
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| In ya face
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| We win this race
|
| I’m not a bad man, I just look bad in leather
|
| But at least I got a band to put back together
|
| You never would’ve ever guessed
|
| That I would ever have to test
|
| The limits of my confidence so often, it’s just constant, like
|
| Just tell me what you want me to do
|
| No, they have to put me through
|
| Three more hoops and an interview
|
| Three more suits in the waiting room
|
| «If you were me and I was you
|
| Tell me why I’d hire you.»
|
| Fuck am I supposed to say?
|
| Bitch, they call me Ricochet
|
| Ladies and gentlemen, settle in while the veteran
|
| Elevate to the heavens and take you places you never been
|
| Filter it through my misery
|
| Package it in my humor and
|
| Digitally distribute it to key target consumers, it’s the
|
| Man with a mission: Immature Edition
|
| Telling everybody they can eat his shit and
|
| Doing what he want to do
|
| Really what he got to do
|
| And he got a thought or two to really change his attitude
|
| ‘Cause he knows he’s a winner now
|
| He can’t wait ‘til you find out
|
| Opportunity knocked him down
|
| He got up for another round
|
| So now it’s back to the drawing board, all he really wanted was a name
|
| But I’ll settle being
|
| No one to fuck with
|
| Got a flow but it’s so interrupted
|
| In the zone, but I’m stoned and reluctant
|
| Got a goal that I don’t know what’s up with
|
| All I know: take the status quo, disrupt it
|
| Beat down and pounded
|
| But the rebound is boundless
|
| And the resounding sound that you hear all around us
|
| Is the people that we found that found us coming ‘round on a
|
| Ricochet

|
| When it ricochet, there won’t be shit to say
|
| (Ricochet)
|
| Shit to say

|
| You pricks afraid?
