lyrics

fear & loathing like I'm coasting through the desert fast
shredding all the evidence of coping with a sketchy past
eating all the vitamins and minerals,
defeating all the vilest of criminals
retreating into nihilistic principles
"how alive? too alive" maneuvering
a cell phone interview to prove that I'm good at computering
I'm good at everything! just put that on my resume
book me for the festival, the rest'll lend itself to fate
I'm seldom getting baited into healthy debates
I'd rather tell 'em how I made it in compelling new ways
5% knowledge of self, with no guru
lone wolf circling the masons and the Zulu
drones took photos - my face is pasted up in every temple
showing every new recruit they've got potential
and I'm not just making words up as I go along
I'm showing how to find enlightenment through hip-hop songs

so peep how deep my technique freaks and how my shit sounds
so peep how deep my technique freaks and how my shit sounds

that's kinda what it was about before the vultures got it
re-appropriation of another culture's not it
part-time emulation is the new sensation
this thing called hip-hop's only one of many cable stations
take it or leave it, just choose the best accessory
consume the main ingredient, while altering the recipe
assume once it's eaten, you exhume a new demon
so the focus group is growing in reverse of its true meaning
this ain't clue, mr. green in the study
but it is a pipe/wrench/rope to rescue everybody
bring it back to the best of your aspects
since the Africans, Persians and Aztecs
since your casket is certain and your soul's not
probably should put a down-payment on the whole plot
don't mind me, I was never really here
but you'll probably never cease to hear me whisper in your ear
