Drag queens and porno magazines Dogs in leather Mix the business with the pleasure Tiny dancer in the palm of my hand Like grains of sand Studio tans and nightmare bogus poetry Holy Moses woe is me MTV makes me wanna smoke crack Jumping out a window and I’m never coming back It’s like clockwork Agent orange and anthrax When words hurt I write the original soundtrack Motion pictures Bible scriptures In the basement mixing medicine Dread setting in slowly morose and bare Tiny dancer hold me closer, I’m scared Something in the air tonight Smelling like a boiled rose Spoiled dairy, burnt cherry pies, through your oily nose Young men carry the nooses Kings get berries and juices The rich get richer, poor get stressed Anxious and depressed til death more or less Festering fear Meandering near The edge The ledge The pillow filled with tears Dear god, we could use a little help down here Oh man just look at my life Filled with strife anguish covered nights And the days look black and white What happened to my American dream of color TV’s and magical wives Back full of knives like a dartboard I’m hardcore, just give me a chance I got angst in my pants Grief in my sheets, I don’t sleep, I dance Give Darko a Grammy and kick it in Miami

I done came down swanging slanging muthafucker Tried to slap you five but you left me hanging muthafucker My man got the beats stay banging on you busters Switching lanes in my bucket hoopty duster Sucker MC’s wanna battle me Ladies wanna sleepless in Seattle me But I leave these chickens clucking to the Applebees Cos the scenes washed up like acid jeans Big apple scheming in NYC But it’s hard to dream when the city never sleeps So they hold their hope close like soap on a rope Where you could make it big if you sold dope Got on SNL and told jokes Dookie chains and gold ropes Listening to the Doo Doo man And the Wu Tang Clan Biz Markie with the dapper dan’s 40 Water that’s my favorite rapper man Lamping, laid back, literally lounging You think you walk on water but you’re drowning You got a savior complex, that’s astounding We got your record label surrounded Thought I lost my mind but I found it Father to your style and you’re grounded I pounded my fists on the concrete Geto Boys on Elm Street Halloween for you actors Wack ass rappers never even left Nebraska Someone please shut off his internet They like to call up Chinese restaurants and make bomb threats Looking like Frank Sinatra at the opera Who you gonna pick, Spin Doctors? 2 princes, Vance or Towers Catch me watching Carrie at your baby shower I’m the mother fucking man of the year
Your in a cell with tattoo tears There’s only one beer left, you can have it I’m drinking Sunkist, making myself a sandwich Banana peppers, on the couch watching Heathers It’s whatever’s clever, have you ever In your long legged life had a bald headed bitch for your bald headed wife Live LIVE, socialize, doing 25 to life One love, in jail, out on bail Space suit crackhead stole your mail Donuts, federal, infinite Get a job, medical benefits And the list goes on and on To do some right, you gotta write a song Sell it on the web, let it go to your head until it’s just noise Cos dissing MC’s ain’t my vice of choice Unsolicited advice, put some light in the void Put some hair on your chest and some bass in your voice

Flying Away 03:16
Ever since a shorty I wanted to be a rebel Must’ve been the Red 40 in my fruity pebbles The scientific lovers didn’t get my fiction The Jesus Christ brothers never caught my diction I was all lost in sea world talking to the fishes When a genie in a bottle granted me my wishes All I want is bitches, big booty bitches Used to sell bootleg DVD’s for Christmas Misfits blaring as I’m driving in my bucket Turn it up cos my clan in the front want it When the MC’s came… To spine tingle, mind boggle Twist the metal, full throttle Bottles of the martinelli’s Nothing you could tell me I’m at where your sister went And your cousin, thought I wasn’t Buzzing like a killer bee With an ill soliloquy Now I’m flying away on a jet plane Fell in love with Pina colada’s and changed my last name You don’t wanna know where I’m going so I won’t tell Cos the air conditioner’s always broke when you’re living in hell Paul McCartney was a walrus David Bowie was an alligator I’m an elephant man Been doing this since you were knee high to a grasshopper You can’t stop my uniqueness My moonage dreamness The people need this, an every man With the green eggs and ham Cosby sweater pudding pops Strawberry letter Robocops Watch for the drop Like cartoons and anvils As the hourglass sand spills Now I’m flying away on a jet plane Fell in love with Pina colada’s and changed my last name You don’t wanna know where I’m going so I won’t tell Cos the air conditioner’s always broke when you’re living in hell

Darko verse: Cyanide smoothie I loved licking Lucy in the sky till she sued me J Edgar Hoovie in the movie feeling groovy as Lee Harvey playing doctor Gynecologist to Barbie Eating Swedish fish with a pimp named Garvey Pulp Fiction gimps and Harleys It was just 
Zed’s dead Never got to see the world After the army he thought he’d meet a girl
Settle down in Arkansas But it’s hard when your arms cut off from falling helicopter blades Shades of blue and hues of grey Going back home in Monochrome Twilight Zones Choking on a chicken bone and you thought it couldn’t get sadder Drank away the pain till it ruined your gallbladder Blackened like the soul of a cancerous demon Ignoramus in Paramus with both nostrils bleeding And you got a migraine the size of Kansas Clicking your shoes together for a color TV ended up covered in tree branches Three days on the search Till they found your remains and a blood stained T shirt It had Bugs Bunny holding a wad of cash And we were just trying to make the good times last
6.
Punks 03:32
Punks jump up to get beat down Punks jump up to get beat down Save me now Three pound bullet in the sky and I’m high as fuck I don’t wanna die tonight, I’ve died enough Fry my brain and hide inside my mind Tying up my arm just to unwind Drugs make a man feel happy Just like a crush The emotional prosthetic became a crutch Now everything just ain’t enough Chasing a feeling you had once As a child in the sea Lying on the beach You’re washed up Punks jump up to get beat down Punks jump up to get beat down Save me now Tears of a sad clown paint my sky Now I stare and wait for the paint to dry Time and time again you left an emptiness in my heart The tears of a clown now look like a work of art And I turned into a perfect smile But your head was twisted off all the while Miles and miles we must’ve walked Across the people outlined in chalk The smog of the city had gripped your lungs That’s when I could tell that rock and roll was done Punks jump up to get beat down Punks jump up to get beat down Save me now

Only poets live in song To do some right, you gotta do some wrong Learn from your mistakes we all make em Some risks you gotta take em Let the music be your warmth Let god open the door And break on through to the other side Where the grass is green Bubbalicious bubble gum and jolly rancher jelly beans On the scene with a gangster lean My rap rein supreme teams Keep your gleam glow and glitter Phone home to the Big Dipper Wish upon a lightning bolt And realize that it’s not your fault I never asked to be born I don’t owe nobody nothing When the sharks come collect hold your cards don’t show your bluffing Unless you wanna ruin Thanksgiving stuffing All that grief Made me lose my belief I’m deep in the ocean But at least I’m still floating Only poets live in song To do some right, you gotta do some wrong While you were player hating I was radiating Illuminating, ruminating on the subject My bugged text written in code Scribbled in scrolls for those who broke the mold of all that glitter and gold Squares in their invisible cloaks I don’t care about your driveling soap opera Heart chakras and chart toppers Smart coppers wanna play the fool Rockers wanna sniff glue and drool Like it’s still all cool Falling off the stool and they’re kicking you out Couldn’t bow out gracefully Had to go the belligerent route all hastily Macing me with pepper spray There had to be a better way Even if you pulled the pin from your hand grenade I still wouldn’t be afraid Dazed and confessed My face is a mess Big disgrace in the cuffs Another one bites the dust Only poets live in song To do some right, you gotta do some wrong

5 AM, Gilbert Gottfried on your stereo I can’t sleep, I’m a dream like Fabio Snotty nose rappers wanna diss the kid But I’m Mister Big Been around since Adam’s rib Strange Days data disc Other people’s memories are bliss But I ain’t got time for that Too busy pitching like a diamond back Everything’s a copy of a copy, I’m an insomniac Cowboys cheerleaders, donuts and bomb tracks That I’m rhyming on With Jay Electron, proton, the nucleus Going on a ego trip Green M&M’s and Swedish fish Beep beep who got the keys to my Beamer We live inside a dream but who is the dreamer See me in my old school Mobbing like 40 water Used to act a fool Kidnapped the president’s daughter And his secretary too Now I’m drinking blue raspberry juice Out the kool aid bottle I fell in love at the rock show Monks in the mosh pit Swimming in my optics Scene switched to stop motion Milkshakes full of number 9 potion Singing to me Put the lotion on the skin Hoes just wanna lust for sin And have fun On the run from demon people I’m trying to be the man but they’re crazy evil They want my soul and my Slick Rick autographed cheeseburger That’s when I saw the dream merchant getting dusted with a sheep herder Thought I was saved till I saw the meat cleaver Now I’m decapitated in the freezer The blues blood bleeder, call me mind reader It costs 2 grand for a Kool Keith feature But I’m broke as a crow with no bird feeder Beep beep who got the keys to my Beamer We live inside a dream but who is the dreamer

Freaks 04:50
Mutant martians can’t get no satisfaction In the city, windows down with the system blasting Looking for some action in the kitchen cabinet with the Raisin Bran That’s when I saw your chopped off hand It wasn’t even Halloween or April fools They used to like to staple fools to dartboards And pray to the dark lord Pricking at the voodoo Sipping on a Yoo-hoo Turned on the evening news, saw Mars Attack and nearly had a heart attack Pseudo smart rappers never ate scrapple or a poison apple Thinking they’re impregnable Brush your teeth, wash your hands, and eat your vegetables Always do what your mom and dad say Hit the studio and get paid Hide the tapes if they raid like water bugs Power hungry coppers wanna slaughter thugs It’s bugged, its bugged, its bugged out Dunking on fools with their tongue out Like MJ And that’s what me and my friends say The voices in your head keep stirring till your dead That’s the recipe MC’s wanna step to me (Mystery Men sample Big Mistake!) Trick or Treat Gimme something good to eat If you don’t, I don’t care I’ll pull out my hair and howl at the moon Like a mummy out his tomb I never leave my casket during daylight Cos the freaks come out at night What’s a goblin to a devil A god to a bomb squad rebel Another statue to dismantle A voice to sample Human vs baboon, I’m taking the ape And if your husband comes home I’m taking the fire escape Liars wanna shake their 8 balls thinking that’ll help their cause But I got the ironclad lion paws Shark jaws in a gumbo Cosmic mumbo jumbo Pinocchio with a nose the size of Mutombo Rappers wanna diss him Ladies wanna kiss him Warlocks wanna wish him of existence My crisis existential The nicest on an instrumental Used to be a pen and pixel man With the pistol in my hand Tanks and bank robbers Big thanks to the hob nobbers Mobbing in my coup de ville Who you gotta kill to get some validation? Cos I’m losing patience like a malpractice Red headed, large breasted, pale actress Back to the lecture All these bozos want is brains like Hannibal Lector Pleasures from photos Leather and no doz Bennie’s gone extinct like the dodo The 80’s were crazy, I saw it on the silver screen Now they’re leaping at me like 3D Wolverine Trick or Treat Gimme something good to eat If you don’t, I don’t care I’ll pull out my hair and howl at the moon Like a mummy out his tomb I never leave my casket during daylight Cos the freaks come out at night I wanna be your freak

1999 suey Subdued and looney Since Mayor Rudy snuck an uzi on the mothership I never liked the government Tax man Rap fans going silly for a milli Freestyles, MySpace My mind state No limit knock off mixtape covers You’ll get it when your younger Brother’s flipping chicken at the mall I’m running into brick walls Like Michael Rappaport Girls in biker shorts Super powers, special pills Cos depression kills Got a license to ill and I ain’t afraid to use it Teenager’s newest Suicidal idol Midas touched the sky Now I cry rainbows Cupid arrows Heart of a scarecrow Stare at the freak show Freak show stares back Now you’re aware of the fact you’re a scaredy cat putting on an act Reality is for the brave And I got a taste For self destruction Facial reconstruction Who would I be
If I wasn’t me? Somethings never change Somethings never stay the same
11.
I wanna kill you Wayne I wanna kill you You look like a 1970’s Greenwich village wannabe Joni Mitchell loving ass I hope you’re eaten alive by rats I wanna kill you Wayne I wanna kill you You work at super cuts They call you numb nuts Straight from the 1960’s Art snobs and bogus poetry Your shirts 3 sizes too tight I hope you eat a lit stick of dynamite You got a funny hat Lollipop licking barber maniac I wanna kill you Wayne I wanna kill you You got two left hands You play drums in a jazz band Or at least that’s what you project That’s what your outfit suggests You came here in a Time Machine You got the brain of a Lima bean You’re so stupid it’s almost sad But not as bad as my ugly ass haircut I look like Travis Bickle I need to buy a gun I look like a space monkey I joined the fight club Could be in Trainspotting Premeditated plotting Turned the big apple rotten Rainy day parades and balloons popping I’m a q ball In the pool hall I wanna kill you Wayne the hairdresser I wanna kill you Wayne the hairdresser I wanna kill you Wayne the hairdresser I wanna kill you Wayne the hairdresser Murder meticulous Got me out here looking ridiculous Soft horror core rap Cult leaders, mind the gap Time lapse when your bloods draining End of Evil Dead and bloods raining You put a stain on my name You got me looking insane Throw you out the window hanging from your own intestines They call me Machete, they call you halitosis cos you need a breath mint Test me end up in your excrement, exoskeleton Skull in gelatin In hell with them gas drawls Hell in a cell with the mask on I’m like Spider-Man You throw rocks and hide your hand I read your poker face Chipping paint off your hoopty from 88 You better stay in your lane, don’t go against the grain I’m major pain Look in the mirror and say my name 3 times Rewind my killer tape Decide your fate Here’s something you can’t understand How I could just kill a man Fill a man’s mouth with bees Then drop him off in the high seas Sipping a Hi C juice box Playing I ain’t mad atcha by 2pac Putting on lipstick, singing doo wop As your brain particles percolate in the heat and prune Cut in half blues, and crescent moons Spoonful of sugar Wipe off my eye boogers Sleep’s my cousin In the jeep getting dusted Busted for narcota, never that You’re a piñata, I’m a barbed wire baseball bat
12.
Darko verse: Pretty Toney in the goalie mask Malice at the palace homie hold me back Watch me Dolly dick em Monkey on his back, brass monkey in his system Funky like the Biz Mark Blue and Cream Wallaby Clark’s Approaching a wack MC who can’t spit his darts Rappers need chapstick Cos the world’s gone plastic Big microphone hippy Eating chicken gizzard with a honey dip named Lizzie Wizardry in the cauldron when we drop heat Wrote this lamping at the Slauson swap meat Cauliflower hurting when I dump the chicken At the movies finger licking Still tipping when the ends don’t meet Claustrophobia making it hard to breathe Just cos I ain’t paranoid, don’t mean they ain’t after me Batteries sold separately For toy soldiers holding boulders and money folders Colder than Philly snow and Bruce Lee death blows Breath control make em ditch the pack of smokes and matches No more Johnny Blaze, Johnny Mathis Chances are Cos I wear a silly grin The moment you come into view Chances are You think I'm in love with you

Tantilizing 03:18
Loving you has been a joy You make my Christmas morning filled with toys I feel just like a little boy With a crush on our girl in his class Every time I see that Look in your eyes My fantastical demise Tantalizing surprise Waiting for me In the land of milk and make belief You take my grief and twist my arm You make a mean chicken parm The stars in the sky show that the light has won You took away the dark and showed me the sun Mackin on the ave, cold chillin Let’s get a soda girl I got my shot of penicillin Villain with a genius plan And you got me fiendish man Hook me up with dopamine I ain’t feeling soapy clean Down and dirty Waters murky, muddy too De la soul Buddy 2 Attack of the clones If I did a bid I’d still rap through the phone And you could kiss me at the dial tone Miles and miles we drove Call me sir mix a lot In the empty parking lots Till my heart stops keeping beat Clapping on the 1 and 3 I’m a grow this money tree and represent Hell bent and heaven sent Loving you has been a joy You make my Christmas morning filled with toys I feel just like a little boy With a crush on our girl in his class Every time I see that Look in your eyes My fantastical demise Tantalizin

Sometimes 04:06
Sometimes The sun shines brighter On those who believe in god One day David beat Goliath With just his slingshot So baby don’t be afraid of the unknown Even though he hung from a cross he still got stoned God is everywhere Even in your hair So grow your dreads and shake em Junior deluxe with bacon Take me home I wanna sleep on it I want forgiveness For the sins that litter my soul Cos I don’t wanna grow bitter and old No, no No way Jose But what if’s and how do you knows How can you see what can’t be shown Its something you feel in your heart and soul Don’t worry about your future woes There’s only right now so take my hand Cos heaven is a place the living can’t understand And that’s okay we’ll be there someday Matter of fact we’re all on our way In the Tibetan philosophy Of life’s great mystery Like the magic in your eyes You cry tears of wine A thousand years go by And they’ll still wonder why What’s our purpose? You don’t need Sunday service To find a place to worship I know it makes you nervous Sometimes The sun shines brighter On those who believe in god One day David beat Goliath With just his slingshot So baby don’t be afraid of the unknown Even though he hung from a cross he still got stoned God is everywhere Even in your hair So grow your dreads and shake em Junior deluxe with bacon Take me home I wanna sleep on it I want forgiveness For the sins that litter my soul Cos I don’t wanna grow bitter and old No, no No way Jose

Mushy 04:10
Mushy baby food 1982 Take me to the dream That we always knew You were there for me I was there for you No one knew the scene That we were going through All night, all day Our love, always 1993 Lost upon the sea Take my hand, we’ll float Flying gingerly Butterflies in bloom And my golden tooth Rain is angel tears Start your day a new 
Tender age in green Trees of golden leaves I took care of you You took care of me Merrily down the drain Life is but a stain Shamelessly I wrote Hopelessly devote Notes I left for you When our brains were glued On a love so new On a love so true Take it as it is Mixtapes burnt to disc Heaven’s as it seems You showed up in my dreams Woke up with a frown Wine on your wedding gown Towns of places past Who’d wanna race a rat? All night, all day Our love, always

Have you ever met a girl you tried to date But her hair and personality was all fake Let me tell you story of my situation I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation I met her on tour, at one of my concerts She had on a long sleeve John Lennon shirt I just got off stage, drippin', pourin' with sweat I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met I whispered in her ear, come to the merch table So I could sell you a record to spin like dreidels I asked her her name she said blah blah blah She had on tight leggings and a very big bra I signed a couple CD’s and she was enthused I asked “How’d you like the show?" She said she was amused I started throwing bass, she started throwing back midrange But when I sprung the question, she acted kinda strange I asked her if she had a man? And she tried to pretend She told me no, I only have a friend Come on! I'm not even goin' for it, this is what I'm goin' sing You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend So I took blah-blah's word at this time I thought havin' a friend couldn't be no crime Cos I have friends and that’s the truth Like Jason, Donovan, Debbie and Andrew Forget all that, let's get into the story About a girl named blah blah blah that adored me We started talking, getting real close Spending lots of time eating avocado toast Met her folks and her little brother Brought a brioche over for her mother Everything sounded so dandy and sweet I had no idea I was in for a treat After dinner we had some O’Douls The tour was over and she went back to school I called every day just to see how she was doing Every time I called, it seemed like something was brewing I called her room and a guy picked up, so I called again I said, “Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend" Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that! Just bust this You, you got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You got what I need But you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend So, I went to her college for a surprise visit To see my girl, that was so exquisite She had a class, so I knew she’d be there The first semester of the school year I went to the gate and asked about her dorm This guy made me fill out a visitor's form He told me where it was and I was on my way To see my sweetie pie, I was happy to say I arrived in front of the dormitory "Yo, could you tell me where is door three?" They showed me where it was and for the moment I didn't know I was in for such an event I came to her room and opened the door Oh, snap! Guess what I saw? My girl in lingerie with a rose in her mouth I was so in shock, my blood went down south So please, listen to the message that I send Don't get paranoid when she says she just has a friend
