Go Down with the Ship

      

Release Date: April 2, 2016

Released By: Independent

Oops I got way too loose
An easy thing to do when you break your own rules
Too much booze and now I’m standing on the roof
All my friends yell up to me “you got nothin’ to prove”

Oops I got way too loose
It only took an afternoon to end up on the news
Takin’ in the view, patiently waiting for a cue
The voices in my head tell me “you got nothin’ to lose”

If there’s a thing I know one it’s that I should never own a gun
Because the shit that protects you most is what you run from
All day long I stay numb and it’s no longer just for fun
Now that I’m older it’s become my own destruction
I bring home dirty clothes and anxiety from the road
When I’m ready to explode, it’s an eruption
It’s begun my own descent, got no money for the rent
Gonna be breaking where I bent, I’m coming undone

Oops I got way too loose
An easy thing to do when you break your own rules
Too much booze and now I’m standing on the roof
All my friends yell up to me “you got nothin’ to prove”

Oops I got way too loose
It only took an afternoon to end up on the news
Takin’ in the view, patiently waiting for a cue
The voices in my head tell me “you got nothin’ to lose”

I can’t sleep anymore, this guilt has shook me to the core
Don’t know if I’ll make it home from tour without a fist fight
You know me I succeed but all along the way I bleed
Even a quickie can get sticky like my hash pipe
So smoke up I had enough, call my mother, call my bluff
It ain’t got shit to do with luck when it comes to our type
Its’ too much I say goodbye as I step into the sky
Said I’ll be reppin’ til I die and that day has come

Bad cookie, I like the way you looky
She a bad mamma jamma, got a magnet in her pussy
Rolling up a fat doobie in the back of the schoolie
And when she light it up she like, “what you think I’m a rookie?”
Bad cookie, tell your boss you’re playin’ hooky
‘Cause your fathers in the pen and your mama likes to boogie
Yeah it’s a hung jury what the fun done to me
Bad cookie, you only want me for some nookie

Two blunts, three fortys later I’m faded man I feel invaded,
Sedated now I’m straight wasted I’m just tryna’ hang
This lady makes me feel crazy, now I’m not lazy,
But lately she got me thinkin’ that this all just might be over man
Never met a girl and thought maybe that I could give this up
But she got me thinkin’ that maybe we both could live it up
Whipping around downtown and I know that this chick don’t give a fuck
Think she can hang with us?
She got me throwin’ up a white flag
Baby please, I’m on my knees
And I can picture you and me we sippin’ fortys on an empty beach
Don’t mean to slur my speech, you know that I’m in need
Of sittin’ next to you gettin’ faded on this Ohio tree

Bad cookie, I like the way you looky
She a bad mamma jamma, got a magnet in her pussy
Rolling up a fat doobie in the back of the schoolie
And when she light it up she like, “what you think I’m a rookie?”
Bad cookie, tell your boss you’re playin’ hooky
‘Cause your fathers in the pen and your mama likes to boogie
Yeah it’s a hung jury what the fun done to me
Bad cookie, you only want me for some nookie

She probably thinks that I’m an imbecile, smokin’ out my window sill
Pick her up from work then pack a bowl up of medicinal
Maybe I’m in need of clinicals, not even kind of cynical
I’ll buy that bitch a box of chocolates and a tandem bicycle
Relax and kick back with her shoes off
Then buy a rack, throw ’em back till the booze gone
You don’t even worry about tomorrow you got work off
Won’t wake up ‘cause you know I turned the snooze on
Said I’d never stop like I’m runnin’ from the cops
And I’m a bad bad man or so you thought
And time and time again you’d hit me up
But you’d leave every time feelin’ less than enough
Said I didn’t care, at least not enough
But at the same time I thought you cared too much
We started out gold, turned to silver and bronze
Now I think that we are rust

Bad cookie, I like the way you looky
She a bad mamma jamma, got a magnet in her pussy
Rolling up a fat doobie in the back of the schoolie
And when she light it up she like, “what you think I’m a rookie?”
Bad cookie, tell your boss you’re playin’ hooky
‘Cause your fathers in the pen and your mama likes to boogie
Yeah it’s a hung jury what the fun done to me
Bad cookie, you only want me for some nookie

I’m throwing up a white flag too many drinks too many smokes
Cookie got it real bad, she wanna see how far this goes
But before she roll her eyes at it I’m out that open door
Until cookie realize that she won’t see me no more

It’s too much work, there’s too much wrong
I could never fit it all in a song
When solid ground ain’t holdin’ strong
You can only dig your heels in for so long
Did too much dirt to wash away
But that ain’t how I was raised
But since birth I’ve felt the same
Jaded and half sane

I’m detached and disenchanted with the fact
That my only recourse is a fuckin’ heart attack, love ya back
If I make it out with some happiness in tact
It’ll strictly be due to change of habitat, battle axe
Ready for war, can’t afford to be not
I never pay my insurance, can’t afford to get shot
When the whole city’s sweatin’ like the walls of the Grog
Make a motherfucker go and quit his day job, dog
Solemnly swear, solemnly swear
That’ll I’ll wear out these blues like the shoes that I wear
Solemnly swear, solemnly swear I’ll be that

It’s too much work, there’s too much wrong
I could never fit it all in a song
When solid ground ain’t holdin’ strong
You can only dig your heels in for so long
Did too much dirt to wash away
But that ain’t how I was raised
But since birth I’ve felt the same
Jaded and half sane

I’m on the road more than I’m at home
With a broken phone, and I smack my dome
Every time we hit a bump, and it’s cold, and it’s on to the next show,
On to the next show, let’s go
Can we take a step back? I don’t got a fall back
There ain’t nothin’ else to say, this brains been racked
No choice in the matter me and Tropidelic climbin’ up the social ladder
The homies from before, who got up and scattered
Wanna come back for tea like I’m the mad hatter
Livin’ the dream? I’m livin’ couch to couch
I’m just lookin’ for a place where I can lie down
This life style got baggage that you wouldn’t understand
I’m just tryna’ make it back to the east end, it depends

It’s too much work, there’s too much wrong
I could never fit it all in a song
When solid ground ain’t holdin’ strong
You can only dig your heels in for so long
Did too much dirt to wash away
But that ain’t how I was raised
But since birth I’ve felt the same
Jaded and half sane

In the alley way, when the river’s low
Keep ya pistol close, keep ya windows closed
Took a leap of faith, down a pigeonhole
But forgot to snip the umbilical
As a human race, being cynical
Ain’t nothin’ beautiful, yeah ain’t nothin useful so
What it’d really take is a miracle

Shit is so heavy
Graffiti in the levy, holdin’ up the corner deli
‘Cause the money makes the world go around
On the teli, explosions of confetti
If that’s what it’s like were all goin’ down
I once had a broken man tell me
About the vicious underbelly of us all
He said there ain’t no line to cross if it’s a line that we’ll never draw

Put into your place, plugged into your skull
Don’t get unruly it’s your duty to be usual
Suburban interlinks, urban terminals
Got a vendetta ‘gainst the whole neo-political
Children of a pace, pilgrims from a hole
First to feel miserable from reasons technological
What we really waste is a miracle

Shit is so heavy
Graffiti in the levy, holdin’ up the corner deli
‘Cause the money makes the world go around
On the teli, explosions of confetti
If that’s what it’s like were all goin’ down
I once had a broken man tell me
About the vicious underbelly of us all
He said there ain’t no line to cross if it’s a line that we’ll never draw

I feel panicked these erratic little habits will start to get the best of me,
Now that’s enough ’cause I can’t stand it yo who told you I’m the baddest?
I’m just tryin’ to get these words down coffee shop chillin’ I’m the villain chuggin’ dark brown
Run away without a sound, we’ll run your asses out of town
Money talks and bullshit walks so give me yours and back down
I work hard while you sleep, you’re all sheep, I’m Bo Peep
Best get to the market cause this piggy’s choppin’ off feet
Blast you back to Pre-K, I’ve been rappin’ all day
Everybody on your street knows me, look out your window pane
You probably think I fuckin’ lost it, I’m not going back to college
I’ll steal your sunglasses and your wallet
We can call it a fair trade ’cause these words that I spray
Can be explained maybe knock some sense into your brain
So don’t hate when you can’t relate,
I’m tryna’ skate “wanna bake?” sounds great, we on our way

Shit is so heavy
Graffiti in the levy, holdin’ up the corner deli
‘Cause the money makes the world go around
On the teli, explosions of confetti
If that’s what it’s like were all goin’ down
I once had a broken man tell me
About the vicious underbelly of us all
He said there ain’t no line to cross if it’s a line that we’ll never draw

Rollin down the street with my baseball bat
Can’t trust nothin’ on the TV, drink the water from the tap
I plant a flag for everybody who’s had enough crap
When I’m rollin’ down the street with my baseball bat

I said I’m rollin’ down the street with my baseball bat
I’m ’bout to step up on the scene and put my city on the map
I’m ready to rage and rampage, so take a step back
When I’m rollin’ down the street with my baseball bat

Yo I been kickin’ it with Lucifer ain’t nothin’ I won’t do for her
I done finished talkin’ so I hope you like the taste of dirt
I’mma put you fools to work so bail before I go berserk
you can’t even fuck with this enterprise, Captain Kirk
Fuck off, cause I don’t got a plan B
Swingin’ at curve balls ain’t nobody get the best of me
Me and my team we the dopest officially
They don’t teach you how to fuckin’ pack a show at Berklee

Rollin down the street with my baseball bat
Can’t trust nothin’ on the TV, drink the water from the tap
I plant a flag for everybody who’s had enough crap
When I’m rollin’ down the street with my baseball bat

I said I’m rollin’ down the street with my baseball bat
I’m ’bout to step up on the scene and put my city on the map
I’m ready to rage and rampage, so take a step back
When I’m rollin’ down the street with my baseball bat

There’s a pressure that’s been building up inside of me violently
Trying to hide it but fighting it is tiring
Product of my environment more sirens than violins
I’m higher than I’ve ever been, bad feelings compiling
A lot to be upset about, I’m lookin’ for a better route
Got no choice but let it out (Roads you better settle down)
Don’t turn your fuckin head around Batter Up
SWING POW I’m feelin’ better now

Peace Love & Unity
They flow together beautifully
Power to the community
The hours now for you and me

I have never witnessed a condition as contemptible and flawed as this
Half the world don’t even got a pot to piss in for the profit of the top percent
How are ya sleepin’? (Are you restin’ easy?) What’s your opinion?
Is it opposite of what makes sense?
We remember to forget, then we pretend to regret
Now that’s the way it is

Peace Love & Unity
They flow together beautifully
Power to the community
The hours now for you and me

I’m on the fence between peace, love, and straight hate
The angel and the devil on my shoulder can’t negotiate
Lead by example, up the river no paddle
And every time we all fall off we wanna blame the saddle
I think we’re all tired of these games we been playin’
I’m not tryna fix the world, but clean a corner worth savin’
If an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind that’s why I’m wearing glasses
The money’s climbin’ ladders skippin’ both the lower classes
The one percent has got us bent over a barrel when it should be the opposite
It’s common sense, no nonsense, give the power to the people and rebuild again
And cups up for real friends I’ll hold it down for my homies till the better end
They say that violence ain’t the answer I think it depends
I’ll justify a city burning if the system’s wrecked
Peace signs won’t save you when the door is kicked in at your residence
Guns in our face that we paid for so what’s that’s represent?

Peace Love & Unity
They flow together beautifully
Power to the community
The hours now for you and me

I have never protested or petitioned for the right to love the one I’m with
I could never fathom opposition from someone who calls them self Christian
What are we doin? (Heading for ruin) What’s your opinion? And does it make you a hypocrite?
The decisions that you make will reflect on the kids
The thing about it is

Peace Love & Unity
They flow together beautifully
Power to the community
The hours now for you and me

Turn up the volume, your head is bobbin, forget your problems
This is my request to build my coffin out the speaker column,
It costs you nothin’ to feel it bumpin’, call that a bargain (Excuse me did you say something?)
I SAID TURN UP THE VOLUME

Wrote a damn masterpiece with a sharpie lookin’ for my car keys found weed
Rolled a blunt, sparked it up, she hit it twice took a shot and I fell in love
Imma try and spit a verse before I black out
I’m seeing stars in an open bar so don’t even start
This shit has gone too far, goin’ 50 in a 35 flippin’ off a cop car
For real? Nah who the hell you think we are?
I’m just a guy with a blindfold and a puzzle tryna pick the right part
But alas, at last, I found the right piece
What’s in the trunk gives me a chance to breath
When I got what you need, we go at my speed
Cant keep up? Drop to your knees
I been rappin’ since I (sucked) I’ll keep rappin ‘til I (suck)
And I trust that you’ll boo me off stage if I’m not real enough
So go ahead hit the club, Imma blow a whole eighth
Getting stoned on my tour bus while you’re puking on your north face

Turn up the volume, your head is bobbin, forget your problems
This is my request to build my coffin out the speaker column,
It costs you nothin’ to feel it bumpin’, call that a bargain (Excuse me did you say something?)
I SAID TURN UP THE VOLUME

Kickin’ up dust in the Rust Belt nonstop
Froze so I’m wearing wool socks but we’re on top
It’s startin’ to feel quite a lot like a long shot
Like I blacked out being white on the wrong block
Ticky ticky tock goes the clock and the process
Obnoxious and out of options, I lost conscience
I feel like dog shit, I’ll start a fire in a mosh pit I’d rather be a liar than a convict (Congress)
Cop it, roll it, burn it, blunted, even ballin’ on a budget
Thats what they call that stoner love
The hard north’s just par for livin’ in a cardboard box by the harbor
Hardcore, like you’re on all fours catchin’ more holes than a dartboard
Cuttin’ more green than a golf course
Far more it’s evident the president is presently punked
If you’re breakin’ off a little bit, I’m takin me the chunk
You’re claiming that your innocent but covered in the blood
Everybody know your girl loves free drugs
All she ever dates is these deadbeat duds
And your girl wanna meet me because
She can’t enough of these deadbeat duds
Aw yeah, believe me, cuz

Turn up the volume, your head is bobbin, forget your problems
This is my request to build my coffin out the speaker column,
It costs you nothin’ to feel it bumpin’, call that a bargain (Excuse me did you say something?)
I SAID TURN UP THE VOLUME

She can never get enough of these deadbeat duds, believe me cuz!
