Nawc

I’m 26, I’m still not rich
I’m come from Pitt
I must admit, I like the city where I live
So don’t give me that double standard boy
Cause me, I double dip, the trouble is
In your bubble you will struggle to admit
I’m the kid that gave you everything
And I can be a dick
But at least I got that mental fortitude to tell it like it is
I consider it a gift even just a little bit
Tell me what’s the matter with ya

You don’t matter as the 1% gets fatter
I used to be that rascal
Now the builder’s the king of the castle

It’s that new age workman’s concept
So cut your losses but not for profits
Wanna see what I can accomplish before the apocalypse

Hey Petey Pete
I came to eat and get some tree
‘Cause I’ve been riding half asleep from Brady’s Leap to C-L-E
They presently pretend to be a friend to me
Instead they’ll ever be an enemy
You ready for a penalty?
You better be
So I stay right under their noses like halitosis
I keep ’em close like I’m suppose to
Like mi hermosa
I’ll probably work until I’m broken, son of a solider
Until I make it to the ocean, feel the culture

You don’t matter as the 1% gets fatter
I used to be that rascal
Now the builder’s the king of the castle

It’s that new age workman’s concept
So cut your losses but not for profits
Wanna see what I can accomplish before the apocalypse

I feel like a shell of a man dealt a hell of a hand
I’d join a metal band just to get the hell out the Land
Do what a rebel can, ‘all without a medical plan
Feel like I wouldn’t catch a look if I was elephant man
I kind of am
Take my music from my cold dead hand
The last stand like atomic bombs over Japan
If I end up by the river in the back of a van
I’ll tell my mama she could only do as much as she can
I’m miserable criminal at my pinnacle
Live in cynical city with a biblical name
And invisible individual waiting for a miracle
Never paper or digital it’s all in my brain
I don’t write down
Who’s got time when you work that 9 to 5

It’s that new age workman’s concept
So cut your losses but not for profits
Wanna see what I can accomplish before the apocalypse

Only Rider

(Stephen Fowler of Echo Movement)
The winds began to shift
He fell into the storm
His mind began to drift
An unfamiliar form
And now he’s an insider
To his own winds as they swarm
The only rider

(Roads)
He couldn’t remember his own name, let alone dream
Seemed he never learned from his mistakes so they repeat
He would always rather spend some money than to lose sleep
So he’s in Lorain on a late night creep
Sick with this disease cost him mostly
Six broken windows and a nose bleed, cold feet
Is something you just get when you step into that concrete jungle
Struggle up on humble road, it’s a long street
Got me stuck here in the basement doing laundry
Instead of smoking weed under a palm tree
God please, I’m just a bad day from selling all my belongings
And walking through the streets like a zombie, honestly

(Stephen Fowler)
The winds began to shift
He fell into the storm
His mind began to drift
An unfamiliar form
And now he’s an insider
To his own winds as they swarm
The only rider

(Roads)
He thought he had nowhere else to turn so he turned cheap
No one ever showed him no concern they assumed he
Always had it well under control like a turnkey
But up in his head it was anarchy
Live with this misery since he was fifteen
Another broken spirit with a big dream, kids seem
To never understand that everyone must come clean
Wish I could erase all the mistakes and things I’ve done seen
Hungry for my piece of the pie in this country
Where nobody seems to care unless it comes free
Something is in the water it’s not hard to put it bluntly
That everyone around me’s turning ugly

Sometimes it’s hard
But I ignore it all
Sometimes it’s hard
With your back against the wall
Sometimes it’s so hard
But I ignore it all, ignore it all

(Stephen Fowler)
The winds began to shift
He fell into the storm
His mind began to drift
An unfamiliar form
And now he’s an insider
To his own winds as they swarm
The only rider

Ain't No Game

(Check, check, check, check)

Said she never felt anything like this before
Then spent the next few hours on the cold bathroom floor
Now I reached that age, I understand much more
I feel it burn the same,
I just never touched the sword

I sat watch alone it seemed nobody else would care
With one hand on my phone I dragged my fingers through her hair
Now I’ve reached that age, I can’t decide what’s fair
There’s no one else to blame as for why she’s lying there

Take a walk in the rain
If it helps you to know
What it’s like in her brain
This thousand-piece puzzle
Ain’t no game

And she said herself, she’s had it rough along the way
Now she seeks some help
Up to 3-4 times per day
Now I turned the page, it’s hard to keep away
‘Cause I can’t forget the expression on her face

Take a walk in the rain
If it helps you to know
What it’s like in her brain
This thousand-piece puzzle
Ain’t no game

Don’t wanna be seeing her stick that needle in her arm
Don’t mean no harm, no need to ring the alarm
‘Cause while you been sleeping someone found her on the lawn
Right in your yard, it tore the family apart
Some suspect that it’s best if it heals right
And you come prepared
Ain’t not game when your clock goes still like

Take a walk in the rain
If it helps you to know
What it’s like in her brain
This thousand-piece puzzle
Ain’t no game

Cahones

I can see that people will arise.
Or be arised
If you try to come with a disguise,
You’ll be penalized
You could catch a wallop to your skull
That is if you’re not original
It would take a fire in the sky for you to see the light

Don’t come at me like you got some cohones
‘Cause for me it’s a long way home
To the streets of Verona
All this time I’ve been on my own

Like you got some cohones
‘Cause for me it’s a long way home
To the streets of Verona
All this time I’ve been on my own

I can see the evil in your eye,
The evil eye
If you try to see between the lines,
You’ll be minimized
If you’d like to try to make a move
I suggest that you follow through
It’s clear to me that you will never find, the key to life

Don’t come at me like you got some cohones
‘Cause for me it’s a long way home
To the streets of Verona
All this time I’ve been on my own

Like you got some cohones
‘Cause for me it’s a long way home
To the streets of Verona
All this time I’ve been on my own

Landlord

I’m not gonna fight your landlord
I’m on his side
Maybe if he wasn’t your dealer
He’d believe your lies
Girl you gotta get a real job
‘Cause I got mine
You could even work that body
I would not mind

We could celebrate this way
All through the night
But when the morning comes
It’s the assembly line

In your fictitious state
You lost your mind
Girl you gotta get yourself paid
‘Cause these aren’t easy times

And the thing you always say
Is it’ll be just fine
But I ain’t seen your ass in the check cashing line
I feel like I’ve seen a few laugh
And even more cry
Girl you gotta make that cash
‘Cause these aren’t easy times

You won’t pick up a dime
So I won’t give you no ride
Can’t turn water into wine
It’s not personal but why
Won’t you get some control
Before you lose it all
You could get on a pole

Headphones

When I put my headphones on my skeleton
Ah me? Never got no reason to be scared of anyone
So many come, so many try, so many run
All I ever got to do is walk into the setting sun

(Jul Big Green)
Powered up, I put my crown on
They gave me life, but then they turned my sound off
Audibly bound a slave to the silence
Muted soul just looking for some guidance
Joined the musical military, it was scary had no place to go
Sound system sergeant, place and stationed at the radio
Issued some misused fuses, that I had to used for ammo
Looking like the lost Hansel, breadcrumbs and a candle
Then I found a key to life, with my finger on the piano
A voice was disguised under this music just like camo
The beat gave me insight that always came in handy
Sweet music to my head, I just called it the skull candy (became a)
Suburban surfer soul surfing upon these sound waves
Skating on these streets, hoping that all the roads of life are paved
Better beat it, cus ain’t no stopping now
Aim’n for the middle, of the red zones
Killing this system, so listen open
We are plugging into your headphones

When I put my headphones on my skeleton
Ah me? Never got no reason to be scared of anyone
So many come, so many try, so many run
All I ever got to do is walk into the setting sun

(Roads)
In the garden behind my apartment
Looking like a martian waiting for his starship
Eyes like Scott Farcus surround me in the darkness
It feels like I’m Alice in Wonderland of the Heartless
‘Pon the sunrise skip a mile to the market
See the mad hatter freak a Philly on the park bench
Even as the dew drops on grass look like carpet
I’m starving, chewing a guitar pic
I been on a VCR tip so I picked up a box out of somebody’s garbage
Then threw it off the Abbey car bridge
Then stood there looking just as if I was a small kid
Ooh there’s those bridge trolls looks like the whole posse
Best be lost ‘for you get Cleveland accosted
My mama always told me it was better to be cautious
Never made it the market but instead I met the prophet

When I put my headphones on my skeleton
Ah me? Never got no reason to be scared of anyone
So many come, so many try, so many run
All I ever got to do is walk into the setting sun

(Jay Shrub)
Stolen out the liquor store I see their reflections
The vultures, the vampires, real bad intentions
I never leave home without my personal protection
Crank the levels up yep and chill for a second
Look up to the sky and see pinholes
Poked in miles of black paper lighting the shithole
Make a quick dash and swing by a Citgo
Snag some quick cash and a bottle of Pepto
My stomach’s in knots gosh I’m wishin’ it would stop
Drop down on my knees as I twist off the top
Slam the whole bottle then I reach into my sock
Grab some White Widow, light it up and then it stops
I duck dive and dip out ‘cause it’s bout to get out of control
It’s night out and I’m the only white out, a night owl
Always twisting white grapes and white owls
Go south towards the skatepark to smoke until it’s light out

When I put my headphones on my skeleton
A me? Never got no reason to be scared of anyone
So many come, so many try, so many run
All I ever got to do is walk into the setting sun

Do Right

(Roads)
I’ve done the best I can to become responsible
I know your mom hates my new tattoo
I try to keep you pleased but it seems impossible
You find the wrong in everything I do

T-A-L-K-I-N-G is how we spend all our time it seems
We might need some professional help
Now you should not expect anything but the best
But I must try to be myself

I don’t wanna be like everybody I see
I just wanna do right by somebody like you
If that’s what it’s gonna be like
Then I gotta be free
Wish I could rewind, I’d try to see from that view

(Alex Fagan)
I’ve seen all your friends fall down like dominos
If it weren’t for me I think you’d be one too
You go raise your hell while I pay all the bills
If I know one thing it’s all that’s through
R-E-S-P-E-C-T you better pay that and more to me ‘cause
I been puttin’ work in for way too long
Don’t know what sense it makes or how much more I can take but
I can’t keep watching you fall down

I don’t wanna be like everybody I see
I just wanna do right by somebody like you
If that’s what it’s gonna be like
Then I gotta be free
Wish I could rewind, I’d try to see from that view

You been up to your game
I ain’t up to no game

I don’t wanna be like everybody I see
I just wanna do right by somebody like you
If that’s what it’s gonna be like
Then I gotta be free
Wish I could rewind, I’d try to see from that view

Do right, do right, do right

Gritz

Good mornin’
Like you gotta motive

Do you like that honey, honey?
How ‘bout that cheddar cheese?
Do you like things greasy baby?
Like them onion rings
Heard you like that lettuce better
Let, let me tell you this
I bring home that bacon girl but
Lay off my gritz bitch

How ‘bout that soul food?
Cornbread and collard greens
Do you put salt and peppa (peppa)
On your mac ‘n’ cheese?
Heard you like that gravy baby
Let, let me tell you this
I bring home that bacon girl but
Lay off my gritz bitch

Woke up this morning
I gotta thank God
You wasn’t in my bedroom
Things don’t seem so odd

Sat down for breakfast
Then onto lunch
I had some supper girl
I had a hunch

Sat down for breakfast
Then onto lunch
There will be no supper girl

Without a warning
You were just gone
You wasn’t in my headroom
Get to keep my dough Lord

Sat down for breakfast
Then onto lunch
I had some supper girl
I had a hunch

Sat down for breakfast
Then onto lunch
There will be no supper girl

Ain’t got no reason or appetite tonight
These hunger games come as no surprise

Do you just want money, honey?
Do you like me for me?
I know your mama told you
Since you were seventeen
Gotta find a wealthy husband
One that is well equipped
Hate to burst your bubble girl but
I ain’t that rich bitch

How ‘bout that soul food?
Corn bread and collard greens
Do you put salt and peppa (peppa)
On your mac ‘n’ cheese?
Heard you like that gravy baby
Let, let me tell you this
I bring home that bacon girl but
Lay off my gritz bitch

Old Sounds

And I might’ve talked some shit in my day
But I always knew better
And I might’ve learned it all the hard way
Only know in due time

And I might’ve talked some shit in my day
But I always knew better
And I might’ve learned it all the hard way

Come correctly I’ll resurrect the
Old sounds we use know
Though its cold to the bone
This love’s a fire 12 foot high

Here’s for standing
Build on your family
Life’s too short to move slow
So let’s burn this motherfucker down

All Heads Unite

(Roads)
Pete can’t find a job
But got kid’s to feed
Bad economy means uncertainty
So he’s selling weed with a felony
Avoid poverty plus he smokes for free
Mama this ain’t how it oughta be
We can do better
What will it take to turn I to we
A right to assemble

All Heads Unite

(Carlos Jones)
As I open my eyes
And see all of the lies
We’ve been told in the course of our lives
It should be no surprise
Consciousness on the rise
From the truth we can no longer hide
What more will it take
Choices are to make
Here in these final hours
Can we live up and learn
Or just crash and burn
Call on our higher powers

All Heads Unite

Tear off the blinds
No more sleeping
Time to wake up ‘cause we know who we are
Dawn of a new day is creeping
We’ve got the power to shine like a star

All Heads Unite
