I Wish 03:52
uh, find a faster way to do this/ Han Solo with my blaster on laughing my way to Luke/ its in the sky, i know, i walk there..brown liquor but i talk clear/ brown skin and from them i inherited all this black hair/ nature vs nurture, dont kno my father either/ least not the one i look like, did he wish that he had took care?/ do i have my mothers eyes, does she ever try to look there?/ and see me reflected see me reflecting on this hook here/ i dare say, life aint fair play/ but the hand that i was dealt was the best in the worst case/ thank you mom and dad. thank you mother and father/ and if i ever find em will they wish that they had never been bothered?/ wish id never been offered, wish they never adopted/ we seen some barney rubble yes, but together we walked it/ crunching gravel underfoot in search of good and glory/ fighting the Nothing flying high a Never Ending Story... CHORUS find a faster road to recovery/ i had to push the boundaries to figure out if they loved me/ i acted ugly. i felt unwanted./ i turned my back on many cuz from the beginning i felt affronted/ felt like fuck it, i wish i was anywhere but here/ but i couldn't get what i wanted because all i wanted was not to be stuck there/ its unfair all the sides of me that my mama saw but in my head the voices said 'yayayaya'/ i raged, cursed the world, curled fists and shook mine/ hated the way i looked because i never knew who i looked like/ and when Peggy died, everything was changed/ a fractured family shaken after shattering from the pain/ her children grew closer, my mama had her heart broke/ something was lost in the shuffle and some people let their cards show/ we're healing still, wishing, feeling like i miss you/ still don't know my bloodline, sometimes i close my eyes and i...wish....

I'm a hawk when the sky glow/ sunrise, sunset, than I'm home/ alone like McCauley/ just me and the anger that made me a bully/ I'm better as a good guy i know/ can't read those lines with my eyes closed/ and i can't seem to find, where i go/ self conscious chin up but eyes low/ broad shoulders, one with the chip on/ probably the same el diablo's sitting on/ cuz me and Dios, we no hablo/ its like we know each other there, but we shy though/ I'm either livin in a glare or a shadow/ death is easy its life thats a battle/ some of us live life like cattle/ and some of us snakes i can tell cuz you rattled/ my mind is addled its my ego/ when we hang together the trouble goes where we go/ jumpin double dutch with these mic cords/ mind doin flips thinking what is life for/ tying up a noose with these mic cords/ so when you leave me here...leave the lights on... eyes downcast, die cast too/ Old Boy feel trapped like I'm Oh Dae Su/ i think the sky is blue/ if you had never looked up you wouldn't know i flew/ Superman is in a cape/ me im goin bananas on a Planet of the Apes/ i gotta get out soon/ take it back to my youth like Goodnight Moon/ find me Where the Sidewalk Ends/ call it hiphop hopscotch in high top vans/ she's in high heels when i walk in/ and no i don't make dollars but i talk sense/ her lashes are venus fly traps in disguise/ I'm in danger cuz I'm fly in her eyes/ i see through her disguise/ but I'm lost too so I'm fine with her lies/ sippin scotch with pops, which is rarely the deal/ mixed with disappointment which is barely concealed/ cuz I'm just a shiftless musician/ as if i can't heal with these stories I'm spittin/ stick to my principles stick to my story/ rub those sticks together til my heart flame roaring/ and i have done wrong in my life/ so i guess whats left, is to turn right/ take that inner flame, let it burn bright/ put me in the game i bet ima earn stripes/ and ive lived a good life/ if tomorrow get erased, what would you write...?

TeenSpirit 03:35
a mulatto an albino my libido a mosquito/ im a rhymer whipping product in the kitchen like a dealer/ sipping the tequila, following the worm/ living with this fever I'm just swallowing the burn/ hollow as an urn ash mixed in with the blood/ tattooing steps to fix a dying world with the Love/ load up on the guns, aim em at the mirror/ i am Alice in the rabbit hole slowly disappearing... got me feeling like... thank you to my parents, fuck you to my parents/ change my appearance when I'm feeling like a parrot/ gotta switch it up in this world of carbon copies/ I'm the knife for cutting bulbs when the farmer harvest poppies/ worse at what i do best, cursed yet I'm so blessed/ shotty painting sunsets, canvasing the northwest/ flip the flag on top of the pole/ I'm like Kurt I'm just lost in a Hole/ half a bottle and some pills for the kids since they blame us/ like 'here we are now and you better entertain us'/ looking up to entertainers/ never seen so many big heads and still so many brainless/ shh shik shik this should be quick and painless/ unless i miss and blow my ear off always aimless/ damaged. dammit im a man and a savage/ lived my whole life just a bit above average/ ask em, anything i touch turn to platinum/ at least in my mind thats what happens when i imagine/ they tell me thoughts build the world around us/ they tell me shots bring the girls around us/ they tell me plot and rewards is boundless/ work hard and hard work'll turn into thousands/ millions, but money don't make me happy/ so while i work hard can't forget about the balance/ work to get rid of my weight drop some ballast/ heal with my hands get rid of the weights callous...smooth... as i move through the motions/ crawl out of this ditch like a witch brewing potions/ bring alive the dead, zombies have no focus/ sutures in my lips pursed cursing Hocus Pocus/ hurt working through this opus/ magnum to my head transformed to telescope and/ zooming forward, moving from the hopeless/ still SeattleCaliFragilisticExtraHellaDopeness/ unbelievable history/ tatted on my arm cuz it was all that was lifting me/ our little tribe has always been/ and it will be til the end whether ending or begin/ in my dreams i am famous, stupid and contagious/ with the lights out its less dangerous/ said in my dreams i am famous, stupid, and contagious, with the lights out its less dangerous...

about

this is my first attempt at creating a project of my own vision, about me. after 6 years of creating with State Of The Artist (weareSOTA.com) it was both daunting and exciting. these are all rock songs from the 90s, rearranged by DJ Phinisey (djphinisey.com) out of Remedy Recording Studios, Tacoma, WA. i sincerely enjoyed seeing this project come together, Phinisey worked out of the kindness of his heart, please buy the album if you can so i can begin to compensate him for his efforts. ive included the lyrics for maximum enjoyment capacity....without further ado...Est. 19∞5.
