Breaking Habits
02:09

No Gimmicks, No Disclaimers/
I'll save My explanations for later/
You can try to copy the flavor/
But an understudy role won't help you meet your maker/
I'm breaking all the habits I learned from my social status/
trying to find a balance between the passion and madness/
mindfulness meditation living in the practice/
doing what I can to avoid death and taxes/
turning pro, growing up and fighting the relapses/
Self destruction's seductive, a phoenix from the ashes/
and my discipline cracks, when I work for reactions/
I guess that's what happens when you tempt a book of matches/
This is a recreation of self, put my apathy on the shelf/
Shuffle the cards that I'm dealt, play a hand for good health/
Good time spent wasted in a battle of mind/
crush the minuets into grains to see what I can find/
I'll Pick apart the pieces, won't speak of what happened/
rearrange the fragments till they look like I imagine/
standing on the shoulders of Giants feeling like atlas/
carrying the weight of the works but I flipped it off its axis/
No Gimmicks, No Disclaimers/
I'll save My explanations for later/
You can try to copy the flavor/
But an understudy role won't help you meet your maker/
No Gimmicks, No Disclaimers/
I'll save My explanations for later/
You can try to copy the flavor/
But an understudy role won't help you meet your maker/

Top of the Barrel bottom of the heap
Top of the Barrel bottom of the heap
Top of the Barrel bottom of the heap
top shelf knock em out top shelf knock em out
Skobie acting rough in the cask republic/
cash is ducets, stacked in plastic buckets/
if you peeking tell the bastard duck it/
its me who acting crass in public, you weren't asked to love it/
you aint cute all upper half of muffins/
if a pro deuce veggies then i have to dump it/ keystrokes like i mastered puppets/
married to it, thick skin like my ass is dusted/ pirate, devil, I am a rebel /
Dr Jekyll when I hide, Mister Hyde when I heckle/
violence the last resort of a mind that'll tremble/
the type to shake the nerves off and smile til they settle/
its the S-K-O be afraid any week or day/
life's resting face got tells, I can read her face/ couldn't walk a mile in the path that my sneakers make/ time is more than money stop thinking like a meter maid
Top of the Barrel bottom of the heap
Top of the Barrel bottom of the heap
Top of the Barrel bottom of the heap
top shelf knock em out top shelf knock em out
If Skobie is your daddy you my damn niece/
Interpret that as me saying he's family/
It's like lechazo how you watching Lamb eat
If y'all only bout money then you're gangrene
Respect it, eclectic, electric buggaloo/
Hold the mic in a death grip, heck kid wouldn't you?/
Life's a pipe line that gets clogged, wooden shoes/
That's why I beat that ass and afterwards I wooden spoon/
Not the type, to showboat for a photo/
No handicap, when ET, that's a metaphor, you can phone home/
all started in Africa, it's my window, no Toto/
If that's a hard pill to swallow then no doz/
9 inches all carbon that's my logo/
Drunk in the mix like whiskey with some old crow/
cast a spell role play out that wizard sleeve/
hand on affiliates that shits a killer bee/

A Reason For Dissonance

fuck the government, Rogan for President.
legalize weed and correct the fucking deficit.
pussifie America making men so delicate
Skobie Won a pessimist represent connecticut.
I think it's funny how them dems failed/
we're getting high blowing lines of Chem trails/
lobbyist three sheets to the wind and set sail/
bureaucrats sit and watch it dove tail/
meet the new boss same as the old one/
social justice worrier, on the couch with a cold one/
these mealy mouthed mother fuckers spit with a split forked tongue
keyboard diplomacy until the wars won/
entitlement babies living off the dole/
a crisis of conscience, bought and sold/
some men do it for diamonds some for gold/
croney capitalisim, it never gets old/
No ugh no I don't buy it
Trendy is as trendy does
sell em tricks spare em love
No ugh no I don't buy it
Trendy is as trendy does
sell em tricks spare em love
the mislead youth jump off a building.
search for the truth but it comes up missing.
what's the true cost of getting lost in a split screen.
wash it all down with shots of listerine.
sick of the NIMBY's holding back progression/
stuck in a nanny state, with to much attention/
living in a main frame, where everything's a weapon/
back in the sand box full of aggression/
there's always a reason for dissonance/
deep seated ignorance and no one gives a shit/
a culture, a brand and provisions limitless/
we've got more than one pill to fill your impotence/
every dark cloud has a silver lining/
stop and look around, might catch Wilbur fly in'/
do we really care if the NASDAQ isn't climbin/
it's time for introspection, it's gotta be worth tryin'/

Style Over Substance
02:42
|

sick and tired of being sick and tired/
sick of waking up late, feeling uninspired/
my entire life like a fire fight, weaving in the dark of night/
looking for signs of wrong from right/
Time is perfection personified/
I'm steady bringing chaos in a life of strife/
a Heavy Handed ego isnt known to thrive/
fearing the fraud police, feels so contrived/
hack attack the art with a carbon knife/
all sauved up but cant learn to drive/
that's a feather in your cap, stand and watch it collapse/
we're all so busy living in the apps/
S.O.S. swimming in the stress/
drowning by any means to impress/
This is an S.O.S. please save our best/
we all know there ain't much left/
style over substance, you ain't saying nuthin/
rap ain't saving you, aiming for your function/
S.O.S., use it say somethin/
work over force distorts
style over substance, you ain't saying nuthin/
rap ain't saving you, aiming for your function/
S.O.S., use it say somethin/
work over force distorts, style over substance/
same shit, different rappers mouth/
living a life, you can't brag about/
the cabbage patch is truly sauerkraut/
overcompensate till they're backin'-out/
cultivated, from the golden age/
the new wave, makes you disengage/
no stage presence, no substance/
all wordplay, but no function/
no heart, and all the ego/
starve the art, love the placebo/
vocals peak, with a lo-fi buzz/
talk is cheap, saying you get shit done/
beats bang but the crowds all comatose/
lyrics mumble like you just over-dosed/
just a little something to get off my chest/
Got the whole crowd shouting out S.O.S./
style over substance, you ain't saying nuthin/
rap ain't saving you, aiming for your function/
S.O.S., use it say somethin/
work over force distorts
style over substance, you ain't saying nuthin/
rap ain't saving you, aiming for your function/
S.O.S., use it say somethin/
work over force distorts, style over substance/
