Bill Hicks sample

lyrics

Teens idolize actions
Acted out, by the contracted
Bands of the passionateless
But the fact of it is, when you really shit
That drum kit could split, and the audience is prone
To, rock the fuck out to unwritten guitar lick
Front row covered in they sweat and they spit
Back row pushing just to feel in the mix
Living in the minutes after the song starts
Everything outside of that, tends to fall apart
So when they feel alive, they play it from the heart
Cause if they don’t they’d rather die just to pull you out the dark
So when they feel alive, they play it from the heart
Cause if they don’t they’d rather die just to pull you out the dark
So the most intimate moment, that you’ll ever experience
Was watching them die, and not just hearing it

This is definitely different than my normal stop
More like metal and rock, than hiphop
With a special guest, pulling on the slip not
Lay you on the ground, plant a foot like rock
Pulling up now with the strength of a god
Snapping the ignition that your lamorgini got
Cause ticket sales never indicated you were hot
And saying that you’re hard never made me think you are
Nobody with that car, is really playing from they heart
And even if you were sometime at the start now
A galaxy away that’s why they labeled you a star
Burning in the sky, you’re dead and you don’t know it
But realistic living is the potion of a poet
Or artist with a focus broken open by the notion
That he’s dead and doesn’t know it…took a moment….
Then exploded into passionate music just to SHOW IT
