My Surprise 05:28
My surprise, my surprise Fiber burns and bad advice But I'm alive, I'm alive I'm afraid and I'm a fool I will always be your ghoul Touché, I've been weighed It wants everything, everything I swore It wants everything, everything I swore Die tonight, die tonight Blessed be the ties that bind But I'm alive, I'm alive I'm a slob and I'm a flake Trading heartache for heart pain Touché, I've been weighed It wants everything, everything I swore It wants everything, everything I swore I feel like everything’s alright I snapped but baby I'm just fine My feet will finally hit the floor Left over by the leftovers from what fed me before My head turned and there's no way back My name is shame hitting me with the LBS Just when I thought I was losing that It's cool, I'm intact Swing for the fences 'cause I'm cool like that Can't move right back Dark comedy but who writes that? Man I faced down a bitter evil Pride implies a Desert Eagle But there's no sequel, there's no sequel I knew the truth before I burned my neck The proof is knots crowded 'round my head At crossroads I chose the cross instead Or it chose me, else I'd be dead I grasped at death as if it was glory A final swing for my attention whoring 'Cause I'm so boring I wanted you to notice I didn't mean it, I was posing God meant it, I couldn't do it But it snapped, yeah I blew it These days everybody hurts Everybody wants to talk about the passion I'm second guessing All the shiny, happy people that will scatter my ashes Used to have all the right friends I took your name like you took mine then And I won't be losing my religion again Someone has to pay even though Stipe ends Paralyzed though my whole state is REM One thought crept back Two shots step back Three crosses I accept that For myself I correct that Five times with no hint Down to my sixth sense Seven times seventy I repent Hate my sin but do you forgiven Nine went on but one was grateful Ten couldn’t take it but two were faithful Unleavened bread was my surprise Grafted into the twelfth tribe One thought crept back Two shots step back Three crosses I accept that For myself I correct that Five times with no hint Down to my sixth sense Seven times seventy I repent Hate my sin but do you forgiven Nine went on but one was grateful Ten couldn’t take it but two were faithful Unleavened bread was my surprise Grafted into the twelfth tribe

Still Dead 04:21
It’s no lie When you pulled out the nine I had more reason to shoot Than you had to survive Pulled out the wallet There was nothing to bribe Still more reason to shoot/ Than you had to stay alive And I'm still dead If my struggles taught me I was not to run If my feelings taught me it was all for blood These feelings are so bad This scheming cost me my kingdom come This trouble brought me a love, once These feelings are so bad Your feelings are so bad It’s no lie When you pulled out the nine I had more reason to shoot Than you had to survive Pulled out the wallet There was nothing to bribe Still more reason to shoot Than you had to stay alive And I'm still dead My family wished me a pulpit soon They'd have shouted if they knew My feelings are so bad Prophet swore we'd fulfill it soon But I was late that, that afternoon These feelings are so bad Your feelings are so bad It’s no lie When you pulled out the nine I had more reason to shoot Than you had to survive Pulled out the wallet There was nothing to bribe Still more reason to shoot Than you had to stay alive And I'm still dead Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) Still dead (BEEN DEAD) In the rehearsed verses the purpose is to trap behind bars On the surface it’s worthless, but this is art I break bad like Aaron Paul Spray the can like an aerosol It’s an air assault, I’m airing the error ’til you throw shade like a parasol It’s apparent ya’ll, this gift was underneath my skin But made for the pulpit, a fool’s gift Like I pull triggers, as if I’m with bars, a barbarian Bring the pallbearers in Long nose goes in the body like carrion Straight edge like a cesarean Arrogant but prove relevant Pop and spray like an elephant These words are fire This token smoking like weed in Boulder I’m Urkel, a nerd with glasses blasting from two straps over his shoulders The journey to become authentic Said it before but I never meant it White man in a black mask, suburban rap with another gimmick Who am I? Am I street enough for these white guys I’m a black one I’m a black son Can I be more than black once? It’s no lie When you pulled out the nine I had more reason to shoot Than you had to survive Pulled out the wallet There was nothing to bribe Still more reason to shoot Than you had to stay alive And I'm still dead STILL DEAD BEEN DEAD STILL DEAD BORN, BRED STILL DEAD BEEN DEAD STILL DEAD BORN, BRED STILL DEAD BEEN DEAD STILL DEAD BORN, BRED STILL DEAD BEEN DEAD STILL DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD Still
