Verse 1
I do not live for drama but they always cast me
No roll in trauma units nurses run past me
Lights Sirens Cameras and the blinding action
You can only take it whole not as a fraction
Mashing smashing at a high velocity
Crashing half empty akin to my philosophy
The rates framed by cinematography
Not down with women that focus on cosmetology
The way it looks if you've been through the half
You'd understand that there is no stopping my path
Action is called yet everyone remains silent
Quiet on the set and I'm the only one wilin'
To hear complaints and the wine of a violin
Laced with a way to raise up all the violence
Have your defenses played down to a science
Alliances built for one to defy compliance
Chorus 2x
Been through a whole lot of negative
So in my lyrics I'm supposed to let it live
"El Veterano You could only pray to learn what I know"
And what I know there may not ever be tomorrow
Verse 2
Some choices leave you in pieces taken apart and torn
I will literally take the bull by its horns
And Drag it through the mud so be forewarned
Thorns don't stop me that is word to my unborn
Scores of my pain can never be ignored
Came in the same vein for exchange of more
My music equals reels of Motion Pictures adorned
Watching my movie live can't catch the flicks in stores
Never it's not commercially accepted
And if you speak the truth you won't be selected
But I'm happy with what the reflection projected
And I'm snappin' against anyone who doesn't respect it
And I have to say that it's the rawest of intentions
I read through thoughts and will complete any sentence
Place punctuation citations must be mentioned
Just so I know it's within proper comprehension
Chorus 2x
Been through a whole lot of negative
So in my lyrics I don't let it live
"El Veterano You could only pray to learn what I know"
And what I know there may not ever be tomorrow
Verse 3
Can you still hear when a trees fall in a forest no one is near
I don't speak on much of any tribulation but it still happened
A round of applause are when the guns start clappin'
To put down a man's ovation when he's standing
In the foreground shows a red nosed clown to be laughing
Chuckling like it's a joke
But he too is trapped hiding behind the smoke
Of what he knew which had him
And now he's broke for his actions
Always spoke Louder than him trying to get traction
In so many forms he's a distractor
Not an actor of real life
A sinister character of the like
Of the mark of a beast
Or a mark in the fat boy in his feast
Greedy and obese not sharing eyes glaring
Wearing that of what can't fit
So I stand here declaring
Chorus 2x
Been through a whole lot of negative
So in my lyrics I don't let it live
"El Veterano You could only pray to learn what I know"
And what I know there may not ever be tomorrow
