With 7 beer bottles in the back of my brain
I see clearly there be nothing but pain up on this path
There's blackberry hedges and crap
Hornets nests, spider webs, and well hidden bear traps
And damn dude there's rattlesnake traces and moose tracks
Turn around plants grow so fast; can't turn back
And if I can't turn around and I can't keep going
And I can't stay put and I can't get below it
And I can't get above it and I can't knock it down
Arrgh man open up my mouth and make a sound like
La-la-la-la-lalalalala la-la-la-la-lalalalala (Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh)
Hey, yo, there's nothing to lose there's no life after d**h
Believe in the here and the now and there's nothing left
Conceive with my mind it's the power of human breath
Achieve the sublime off the album and I confess
As I drop these rhymes with Optimus
My opticals are telling me secrets exposing MC's weaknesses
Peep this I'm making miracles like Jesus
The book of Genesis is an outline of what my thesis is
I can't sing, I can't even rap
So for now I'll throw some punch lines all over this track
And ask, where's the heat in Seattle underground?
Made a pact with Autobeats and we took on the town
Now I got a gang of Chinese on the feet
Telling me I'm the sh** while they bootleg my beats
Saw my first mix tape for sale on the street
Next to a FUBU t-shirt and some broccoli beef
Suddenly I'm the one committing crimes
Like selling mix tapes that happen to be mine
But that's fine at least my job is getting done
Expansion of the English language phase one
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
Hey yo I'm grounded more solid than the earth that be under ya
I could corner the market on mic cords and these music awards
And dope tours but I wouldn't give one to ya
In fact I heard smoking crack was quite fun to ya
Your flows be so dumb it's like you rappin' by numbers
And if you wanna hang among us bot I'll have something done to ya
Here's a first cla** ticket on space shuttle Columbia
Up next it's your solar plexus over Texas
I'll be the broken one as guilty as a smoking gun
Lyrics weighing a ton starting pandemonium
I used to flow for fun now it's paying bills
Still tripping off theses ill MC's and purple pills
Will they stop testing me? Hell no because my lyrics be
Making critics drop like leprosy
Peep game form the notorious Optimus team
About to make you stage dive into the northwest scene
Hey yo I wake up, I eat, I excrete
I take up space in the street then go to sleep
What's different? I think ya'll floatin' but it sink
It's kind of dirty down hill but I dig in and don't blink
Cause I'm all alone I'm never letting anybody in
I'm never going through that kind of torment again
Forget it consider that just water underneath the bridge
Deal with that, cope with that and we'll see how you live
I know I never talk to you about my life; its my pride I guess
My best friend has got me stressed it's a real mess
I've got a complex but maybe it's just too complex
The reason why English is feeling all these ill effects
My girl suspects but she don't know the half of it
I've already quit on living life, yo, I'm through with it
Always askin' what's up, why I'm so depressed
Try to tell her what's going on but it's useless
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
(I'm taking up space on this earth)
The population rises there's no surprises so what's it worth
