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 death 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 shit 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 class 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
