lyrics

Time is money, money talks, but talk is cheap
If that’s correct, how much does it cost to sleep
I was gonna lock my lips, but then I lost the key
Died of thirst while drowning in a sea of irony
Sargent’s bout to get promoted in a major way
Suicide isn’t going to cut it, so put the razor blades away
I’ll take a pen and a tape of dre
It’s funny, you love money, but you’re afraid of change
If demons get scared, how come the ones in me don’t
I can’t decide if they’re powerful or a placebo
If I caught her, one of her friends would be like, where did she go
Don’t video tape her, tape her, then video

(yes) in this example, my demon’s she devil
(focus) them suffering – not me special
Been there, done that, claimed to hate everything
The problem is the demons convinced me that they better me
So here I sit, unchanged, don’t listen to a hater speak
I knew nothing and now my faith is wavoring
Must I have negativity to fake serenity
I blame my tendency to assume that you’re making sense to me
Problem is, you think I need to eat dinner
While you walk past a half naked homeless family in the middle of the winter
Weak case for a creator, please visit us
You’re going to hell, but we offer deliverance
You seem innocent and we don’t meant to be hypocrites
So we’ll take your salary in exchange for three memberships
As for the church, god wants it to be sinnerless
If your god wants to love you, bring him here, we’ll belittle him

Forget rap, this verse, and sixteen lines, its
All worthless if you’re never getting rewind-ed
Watch what you say, you will get assassinated
(snap) just like that – quit staring at the aspirin take it
If I can stay awake I’ll try and finish what I started
You’ll meet the surgeon if you ever disrespect the sergeant
You may have heard of him; the dead call him Beau Warren
You go against him he’ll introduce you to post mortem
It’s gonna take two whole prescriptions to be revitalized
Heart beating and heavy breathing reading the Bible twice
You’re not feeling this – you’re totally numb
Mouth shut; fans will decide on how rap is supposed to be done
I’m sick and tired of you amateur writers
Saying you set the booth on fire every time you’re inside of her
So next time you fall victim to the violins
Remember the tape and the value of rewinding it
4 years it took me to get anywhere close to what I’ve become
3 albums in and haven’t even remotely begun
2 albums coming so consider yourself warned
Just another LP for you to sell short

Say your prayers to the virgin mary, motion is granted
She’s my drug, I call her o.d. over dramatic
since I realized I could change lives with an ink pen
I take advantage of lines, don’t over think them
Normal’s either appreciated or coveted
You can bury the truth, time will uncover it
Life in peril if you’re living ritualistic
Come home, found, bound, covered in the mistresses lipstick
You and I are not alike
You couldn’t impress me if you stole the Mormon prophet’s Bike
Some feelings can’t be brought back after their dead
Can’t burn pages in the book of life once the last chapter is read

You think I’m even wondering what you consider me
I’ll still take the beat and beat it until its history
And so be it if you disagree
Time to say a prayer or eulogy and put the beat out of its misery.
