People listen up don't stand to near I got something that you all should hear. All lies, all the lies she told to me make a little part of history. I was always taught that boy meets girl, fall in love get married and forget the world. Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way. Kiss 'em on the check and lifes ok. I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time to listen to conflicting points of view. It's a crazy world to live alone, a ball and chain I call my own People listen up don't stand to close I got something that you all should know Holy Matrimony is not for me. Rather die alone in misery. I was always taught that boy meets girl, fall in love get married and forget the world. Nine months later, the sweet babies on the way. Isn't that what they used to say? With a girl that you knew, and the bonds that we grew. Turned into a ball and chain. I step into the great unknown, a ball and chain I call my own. Crazy world to live alone With a girl that you knew, and the bonds that we grew, turned into a ball and chain. I step into the great unknown, with a ball and chain I call my own. Because marriage doesn't work in the world today It's an institution that is in decay. And if I have love I wish to portray, I will surely find another way. Because I was always taught boy meets girl, fall in love get married and forget the world. Nine months later the sweet babies on the way, Kiss 'em on the check and life’s ok. I don't feel no pain, I don't have no time to listen to conflicting points of view I step into the great unknown, with a ball and chain I call my own Badfish When you grab a hold of me Tell me that I'll never be set free I'm a parasite, creep and crawl I step into the night. Two pints of boose Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too? Ain't got no money to spend I know the night will never end Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef Baby your a big blue whale Grab the reef when all duck diving fails I swim but wish I never learned The water's too polluted with germs I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead Grab the reef underneath my bed Ain't got no quarrels with god Ain't got no time to grow old Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to grow old Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef Let's Go Get Stoned I swear sometimes you’re taking me for granted I swear sometime your a whore I swear but I know there ain't no reason 'Cause everything is such a bore Last night I had a dream, though it made me sick Saw you in your bedroom sucking someone else’s dick, (MY GOODNESS!) My friends all laughed, said it was my fault said it's time that it happened to me But I know that the show was much more than a low So I'm waiting for the tide to get low If I was an ant liven upon the wall tell me baby would it make any difference at all If I was a roach on a tree tell me would you smoke me? Bright lights put me in a trance But it ain't house music, makes me want to dance. (WORD) I don't gamble but I bet, I'm gonna die by my last cigarette Hold me close I always play the mack with this monkey on my back. New Thrash I got so much trouble on my mind, That I feel like I'm always sleeping with the enemy But I know the real world always gets the last word And that's why you gotta kick reality. So don't tease me and try to say I should care. I might as well go out for mine 'cause everybody's going out for their's. So don't tell me about a fake drug war Go cut education some more The people will one day learn and rise Cause not everyone is out to score. People always ask me why people are all fucked up At every corner liquor store. Scarlet Begonias As I was walkin down rubadub square Not a chill to the window a litte to the air From another direction she was caught in my eye It could be an illusion, but I might as well try ..might as well try She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes And I could tell without asking she was into the blues She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls I knew right away she was not like other girls Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong As everything works out the way it does in this song Cause once in a while you get shown in the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right (rap) It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above Because the women took the lovin over me And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus Because I sold off my personal property A tie-dyed dress , she was a psychedelic mess We toured to the north, south, east and west We sold some mushroom tea, Sold some ecstasy, Sold nitrous, opium, acid, heroin and PCP Now I hear the police coming after me Now I hear the police coming after me The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair, She's got the police coming after me Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves All scarlet begoinas and a touch of the blues And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass bye. Live at E's Yesterday I saw a whore looking out my door As she bends my body aches if she'd walk in I would say: I'm on the mic doin things you like The name is ras M.G. and I'm a treat you right Cause all the ladies and me we both agree that I'm going down in world history uh-uh elected, my rhymes will be perfected. the mighty MC's will be dissected and rejected I am the most impressive- aspective and progressive- motivating, innovating, chillin and digested Its obvious as ever it will be specialized Your trying to proclaim-uh- cant be compromised I am a fresh MC As you can plainly see You won't regret a DJ fresh Im sure you'll soon agree So take a seat n' feel the beat of coarse it is OK, Uh-Uh Oh she makes my body ache and you know I paid for more I won't flake or perpetrate, I won't front no funky whore Don't get me wrong I'm just singing my song I'm just like you I like to ball my freaks all night long Not only do I rhythm I also cut so nice they call me delight My name is Eric I have nothing to say because I am not a fucking d.j.

Right Back Sleepin by yourself at night can make you feel alone Your girl friend said so but I don't really know That don't mean we fucked around that night last week when you left town I was tweakin by myself one night that's when I wrote this tune Didn't have no need for that bed in my hotel room Sometimes right now since I've left the pen I feel like I'm right back in it again Sometimes I play, waiting waiting for some bright holiday So I got myself a gun and I'm right back right back where I'm from Sleepin by yourself at night can make you feel alone My girlfriend said so, she's a little ho That don't mean I fuck around, I like to keep that higher ground Sometimes I play, waiting waiting for some bright holiday So I got myself a gun and I'm right back right back where I'm from Don't tease me, don't tease me, don't tease Sometimes I play, waiting waiting for some bright holiday So I got myself a gun and I'm right back right back where I'm from What Happened?

What I'm I doing here Who is this girl in my bed What is this shit on my face My God, what is that awful smell (Chorus) She may be an angel She may be a queen She might be black, white, Amercian, Indian or Japanese Thru a bottle at a bouncer Didn't think that he was cool Pissed in someones drink And thru a bike into a pool Driven down the side walk Like a crazy possed fool I broke every single traffic rule. What happened? What happened? Let's go (Chorus) New Song I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch But I won't stress and I won't switch And I would not take my life Glory please, my God, the only thing on my mind Takes up all of my time, And I said, ooh!

Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown Hell. She heard a noise and she looked through the door. And saw a man she'd never seen before. Light skin, light blue eyes, a double-chin and a plastic smile. Well, her heart raced as he walked through the door And took an empty seat next to her at the bar. "My brand new car is parked right outside. How'd ya like to go for a ride?" And she said."Wait a minute I have to think." He said, "That's fine. May I please buy you a drink" One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his car and drove someplace real far. Now babe the time has come. How'd ya like to have a little fun? And she said." If we could only please be on our way, I will not run." That's when things got out of control. She didn't want to, he had his way. She said, "Let's Go" He said, "No Way!" Come on babe it's your lucky day. Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way. Come on baby don't be afraid, if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid. He finished up and he started the car He turned around and drove back to the bar. He said."Now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad." She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head ,now his got a big scar. Come on party people won't you listen to me. Date Rape Stylee. The next day she went to her drawer, look up her local attorney at law, went to the phone and filed the police report and then she took the guy's ass to court. Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed, " She lies that little slut!" The judge knew that he was full of shit and he gave him 25 years And now his hearted is filled with tears. That night in jail it was getting late. He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed. But the guards paid no attention to his cries. That's when things got out of control. The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny. But that's the way it had to be. They locked him up and threw away the key. Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind, even though he now takes it in the behind. DATE RAPE She didn't want to TAKE IT! Hope How can you say. "You torture me", when you're already thinking about someone else. When he comes home you'll be in his arms and I'll be gone. But I know my day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one. So now you wait for a spark, you now it will turn you on. He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel. When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there. My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one. Call me selfish, call it what you like I think it's right. To want someone for all your own and not to share their love. But I'll have my way. You don't stand a chance anyway. Cause I got to you, you don't stand a chance. So now you wait for his cock, you know it will turn you on. He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel. When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there. My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one. My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one. You say you want perfection, that's your self-destruction. You don't know what you want, it's gonna take you a year to find out. I am not givin up. And when you've had enough, you take your bruised little head and you'll come running back to me I know that I will be the only one.
