lyrics

i'm kinda surprised you don't hate me yet
how long will it take
place your bets

.....we living life without the safety net
these types of speeds might break your neck

it's your favorite space cadet
i would take your head but frankly
i'd hate to break a sweat

the apron's wet
paint a breast
it's the pastry chef
scrunching your face up
and you ain't even taste it yet

rest in peace Jim Lahey
my scheme's cockamamie
my team blocked the main streets

what'a come is cool but yet
the best may be
lawnmower man got grass
dat Jeff Fahey

while i betrayed myself
you betrayed me
you wouldn't like me when i'm angry

who should take the blame when life strains out
strangely?
....now i gotta face me

next decisions cain't be too hasty
but now i'm
at the club with the girls with the pasties
looking at the money like the money don't change me
huh?
at least that's how i felt lately

tryna keep the reputation clean seen stately
might meditate when many things aggravate me

but i be reactin
it don't matter what happens
the temper is short
with long attention to abstractions

out of body experience
but it wasn't drug related
i wish i could explain wit that
the streets undulated

dissociative states
i'm crossin lines i didn't make
now i gotta finish what's on my plate
