Decadence |
| When my lines get punched it gives you cauliflower ear, sorry |
| I’m so glad you finally got the chance to blow up |
| Except for the fact that it was only in your face, you’ll get over it |
| I think it’s fantastic that you’re out here rapping |
| It’s like you’re a really funny joke, but without all the laughing |
| I seem to be sprinkling chocolate gem-drop jewels over gold fronted fools |
| Carrying the heaviest of styles with the most handsome of pack mules |
| I’m talking about cement feathers, and tiny rhinoceros bull elephants |
| Like a non-matriculated student freaking rap robot factory starter kits |
| Pushing, iron butterflies through an obviously easy maze |
| And getting self conscious almost sick sitting through your kinds of praise |
| I’m chained and it’s upsetting. |
| You’re brain dead and I’m regretting |
| That I’ve even chose to take this much artistic license by wetting |
| Your appetite and letting us get this far along without trying to teach you |
| something |
| Painting purple and blue circles around your itchy head thoughts snapping like, |
| trees |
| I sit with a smile, you stand with a blank look |
| Lets all sing and dance and bake cookies for 3rd world countries |
| And then go & write a book about how we went and conquered all |
| And didn’t even have a chance to try and fall |
| And then decided to tear down a bunch of walls, and blah-blah-blah |
| It’s silly to me to have all the smoke and mirror puppet agendas |
| I really am free see I no longer have a need for your quasi-safe haven placenta |
| You’ve got something to say, that’s great let’s get up and say it |
| You’ve got something to listen to, that’s right because I made it |
| We’ll say raps, and then you’ll listen to them |
| It’s nothing new really, we’re not trying to start trends |
| We’ll speak what’s on our mind, maybe gain a few friends |
| Running around your pool, swimming in decadence |
| We’ll say raps, and then you’ll listen to them |
| It’s nothing new really, we’re not trying to start trends |
| We’ll speak what’s on our mind, maybe gain a few friends |
| Running around your pool, swimming in decadence |
| Let’s print flyers about our dislikes and random outlooks |
| And canvas bookstores and coffee shops, all the cars in the parking lot |
| Rant about who’s calling shots |
| The cops making bad decisions |
| Challenge fact and fiction |
| Basically mask it as activism |
| And on the backside of that full-color laminated cloud of smoke |
| We’ll promote the malt-liquor-flavored cigarettes down your throat |
| The ground is broken, slip into the cracks and take a breather |
| Pull the toxins in |
| Then go buy a round of flavored oxygen |
| Fill your lips with collagen |
| See we’ve surveyed lots of me |
| And they prefer their women to look like the anorexics that are modeling |
| Their skin and bones |
| So alter your ego, don’t end up alone |
| Perfection’s just a call away, pick up your mobile phone |
| We’ve outgrown morality, as most traditions hold it |
| So it’s okay to beat our women as long as we don’t use a closed fist |
| You know this |
| America, you’re 3 paces from hopeless |
| Haven’t you indulged yourself enough? |
| I mean, you’re looking a little bloated |
| We’ll say raps, and then you’ll listen to them |
| It’s nothing new really, we’re not trying to start trends |
| We’ll speak what’s on our mind, maybe gain a few friends |
| Running around your pool, swimming in decadence |
| We’ll say raps, and then you’ll listen to them |
| It’s nothing new really, we’re not trying to start trends |
| We’ll speak what’s on our mind, maybe gain a few friends |
| Running around your pool, swimming in decadence |
| Most of the time I’m just content to sit around and rhyme |
| But then other times I feel I should do something more responsible with my most |
| of the times |
| I really do need to get a new hobby and stop trying to waste your precious… |
| blank |
| Mostly because of the sweat that stings my eyes when I work too hard |
| But I know it’s the stress that leaves me breathless |
| Your a true statue and I’m not talking about a rock that doesn’t move |
| Your like a rock that someone else made that tries to look like something that |
| doesn’t move |
| And I feel like I should be embarrassed, but then I know that others are for me |
| I know that there are others that are forming a carefrontational group for me |
| But let’s just take this time to give a deepspace5 to all the people who ignore |
| me |
| But then if they did that, then I would feel like they’ve turned their backs on |
| me |
| And obviously they have |
| Most of the time I’m just content to sit around and rhyme |
| But then other times I feel like doing something more fun than just boring raps |
| Like I should be playing with the other kids swinging and being outside |
| But with these allergic reactions to people I have to be happy with living |
| inside |
| I need to go and get that checked, have it looked at really soon |
| Because the infection I’ve got going is starting to hurt and fester |
| See I’m home schooled and gullible wearing my name on a brass belt buckle |
| My mom calls me Dan but my shiny buckle says my name’s Lester |
| Most of the time I’m just content to sit around and rhyme |
| But then again I never really do just sit around and rhyme |
| That’s a falsity on my part and I apologize |
| We’ll say raps, and then you’ll listen to them |
| It’s nothing new really, we’re not trying to start trends |
| We’ll speak what’s on our mind, maybe gain a few friends |
| Running around your pool, swimming in decadence |
| We’ll say raps, and then you’ll listen to them |
| It’s nothing new really, we’re not trying to start trends |
| We’ll speak what’s on our mind, maybe gain a few friends |
| Running around your pool, swimming in decadence |
