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/
