…I'll try to get your attention so I can clear my name
(I know you don't care) because I've seen my picture on your dartboard…
Bleed without pain
You're always so violent...blah, blah...to spite your face
I'll try to understand the words you yell at me
I've…
…the same as it's always been
I've lost my will for anything
It's not rational why you'll go
Hear it in her voice
She regrets her choice…

…? And you say you write my shit? Yeah right
I can't even show my raps to Jeff
Shit I be telling him one of my new lines…
…and railing that white shit
You sniff coke through the pen that you write with
So your lines are just a story on how pathetic your life…
…could you be east coast and show Scotian pride
I know you lie so I'll stick needles in both your eyes
Stab you in the chest with…

…it
In attempts to moderate they ask why we don't write love songs
What is it that we sing then?
Our love of life is total, everything…
…we do is an expression of that
Everything that we write is a love song
We look for alternatives
But the enormous power…
…breakfast teas to the sound of Space Invaders
Television is today's Nuremberg
Bowing to its authority, they become it
I've seen four…
By Buck 65 (2002)
On album Square (2002)

Through thick steeled forests and over scorched earth
Always just out of reach
A murder of crows judged my every footstep
My bones…
But through it all the real stick in my spokes
Was the torment of my dreams
I fought of sleep with both fists and sometimes fire
With…
…that never came true
Apparitions of angels with angry eyes
Appeared at each new moon
My own ghost be gain whispering
Trees died…

EVEN HAVE A CHOICE,-
ALWAYS TOLD WHAT TO DO BUT NOONE LISTENED TO ME IT WAS LIKE I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A VOICE,-
I've always felt…
…it's like my sight is blind,-
I'm all alone,-goin' down this road of life on my own,-
With no other path to follow lost forgotten…
…-
I've lost almost all my faith in you but you can redeem yourself to me by respondin' to this for my sake 'n THEN maybe i'll trust…

…poor
Which I guess made me appreciate everything more
For I've had a chance in a way to decide
To mix with people from all…
…life trying to illuminate my gloom
Now I'll spend the rest of mine trying to do the same for you
You supported me in everything
I…
…that's why I do the same
Now I've found a voice to try to make it change
You saw through all the bullshit
I've had my eyes open…

…to
[Verse]
Now
I never been rich and I never been poor
Which I guess made me appreciate everything more
For I've had a chance in a way to decide
To mix with…
…done and for everything to come
You spent your life trying to illuminate my gloom
Now I'll spend the rest of mine trying…
…through all the bullsh*t
I've had my eyes open ever since
I don't believe it just because they call it evidence
I've seen…

…die I'll smile, cause i did it my way
take a run here's your chance come and get me, I've been beaten
but you'll never beat me…
…a part
of me
no, it's not a part of me. I've tried so many times to leave this
place this town my life, the same problems always come my way,
it's getting harder…
…&
go home, I'll do it on my own
the years go by and the names, they change yet teenage rebellion
remains the same, just pissed…

…on and on really
There's something that's seriously wrong with y'all
I'll write my way out before I fall
And bury you in my rhymes
It's all I…
…just how smart I am
Without an IQ meter
I've never been a sleeper
Always writing and sketching and betting on my chances…
…of focusing on priorities
Two eyes
One chance
To write a song by myself
If you don't believe I wrote this on my own
Just check my Up
Word…

…trouble handling all these pictures I see online
So I close my eyes and drift away and just wish that I was blind
It might have work…
…if we had met at a different time
But we'll never know
I've stopped looking for things I'll never find
I'm giving this my all…
…was simple
No responsibilities
And now it's nothing but drama and honestly it is killing me
Silent screams turn into Survivor dreams
I always share my…

…that/
Bite my tongue in half as an example of how to fight back/
Write raps and raise a family. Build with the like-minded/
Honor…
…sadness, and now my heart is blinking tears/
Take these necessary steps to my art can reach my peers/
I've abused my voice so much…
…that it's hard to sing this year/
And my own songs can't echo in my set of ringing ears/
Pages filled top to bottom with…
