Happiness ('s Unit of Measurement) |
Well you burst on the scene |
Already a legend |
The unwashed phenomenon |
The original vagabond |
You strayed into my arms |
Yeah I told this one guy that my record’s name is Fear of a Black Tangent |
And he was kind of offended and he was like |
What like I can’t be down cause I’m not a black guy |
I was like no it’s not really like that it’s just |
Hit the switch, the DJ plays the fine dish and adjusts the high-pitch level |
Hint to miss, hand your girl the wine list, she smells of hibiscus pedals |
Whiff the grit, I show up with my rhyme clique, not in designer fit dress codes |
Get a wince, and they think we’re timeless and starting singing along to our |
pirated down loads |
Admit the shit, I’ve never really been that social, most the times I’m |
disheveled |
Is this it?, since it’s Fear of a Black Tangent, do I got to call white kids |
devils? |
It’s the pits, or do I got to say nature’s ovaries are bleeding at a poetry |
reading |
The kids are pissed, because the thoughts of an underground rap guy don’t |
really go that way |
The kids are pissed, I think the mainstream vs. independent argument is so passé |
Pick my disc, thanks to my 10 stack-high cd duper, I’m an uneasy sleeper |
Get this, but a pacified TV viewer, read about me in a weekly reader |
Fix the myth, and he said I’m a hip-hop treaty breacher with my vivid tales |
I spend less time alienating my audience then I do trying to solicit sales |
So lick the dick, because the scene is more than bitches, brew, and stinky |
reefer |
It’s a trip, all the pee-wee leaguers kiss rings on our pinky fingers |
We spit the hits, but why? |
I am meaningless product on a crowded shelf |
A shout for help, I simmer in my dilapidated glee |
Oh get an account with a popular hip-hop crew, pay the activation fee |
And buy a shirt, a hat, a pair of underwear, cuz that’s your favorite emcee |
And I’m a spacey shoegazer who stares at Pluto, but I’ll be a jiggy jigaboo |
Who goes through laser hair removal if it means that I could pay my rent and |
other bills |
I’ve got a point system that determines my happiness |
Its unit of measurement is your interest in my crappy shit |
Because I’m not dope, I’m not fresh, ideas are overshot and undersung |
What a dumb verse that is, I’m definitely not number one |
A verse drowning deep within my flooded lung |
A song dying deep in a pit of my blood and cum |
The kids don’t want to listen, they just want to have some fucking fun |
Fit the niche, a Hollywood entertainer will take a Xanax like a chewing gum |
Hit and miss, they’re in outlandish debt and their planned text is crude and |
dumb |
A business risk, you know having a quality end product should be the rule of |
thumb |
Fix the shit, but it’s obvious the culture’s been raped, it lies in a pool of |
cum |
Quit your shift, so I’m up early working while you’re squatting in Pilates class |
Listening to Morning Becomes Eclectic and nodding to Johnny Cash |
A nigga’s pissed, but I don’t have the same reservations that a closet Nazi has |
But I’m as angst-ridden on Thanksgiving as you are |
When your favorite rapper gets dissed on an opinion-based site |
You’re a hippie who don’t know what chicken tastes like |
Telling me who to pattern my career after and who I’m sounding like |
Hey why don’t take your self-absorbed ass and hop on your mountain bike |
And go start a cipher at your parent’s summer home on the veranda |
Because you bite about 20 styles per stanza, but who cares |
Because I’m frustrated, my records don’t sell, and I can’t seem to book a |
decent gig |
And my indie label is understaffed, and these midi cables won’t connect the |
drum pads |
To the PA system, and my deejay’s missing, and I’m barely able to feed my kid |
And I hate my pad, I don’t want to visit, I need to put new brake pads on my |
Honda Civic |
I need an office visit from a known producer to do a remix |
But it’s hard to recoup when he’s paid |
And I’m starting to shoot my screenplay on Martin Luther King Day |
So I’m basically over budget and quite screwed |
I’ve got a point system that determines my happiness |
Its unit of measurement is your interest in my crappy shit |
Because I’m not dope, I’m not fresh, ideas are overshot and undersung |
What a dumb verse that is, I’m definitely not number one |
A verse drowning deep within my flooded lung |
A song dying deep in a pit of my blood and cum |
The kids don’t want to listen, they just want to have some fucking fun |
