"Files"

I won't lie to you doctor
I can't make that change
don't wanna lie to you
just make a smile for you
you got a file on me
I got a file on you
so we can worship at the end of the day (now lets pray)
not gonna play with you teacher
I can make that grade
not gonna play the fool
I'm fuckin way too cool
you got a file on me
I got a file on you
so we can worship at the end of the day (now lets pray)
I wasn't scared of the monster
just a little afraid
I wasn't scared of you
cuz fear can never rule
you got a file on me
I got a file on you
so we can worship at the end of the day (now lets pray)
Don't wanna fight with you stranger
I just want to behave
don't want to fight with you
we got a right to move
you got no file on me
I got no file on you
so we can never see each other again (well my friend now!)

"Yellow Bellies"
01:48
|

I have a really heavy occupation
its called...... life
it makes face some funny situations
especially at................ night
so lucky to be based in this location
the air is just............... right
got a woman who just.................... might
nothing but wind under my.................. kite
and the yellow bellies scream with dee......... light
if ever you can spare a little patience
then let it be................................ done
happiness and love are quite contagious
like hot cross............. buns
I tip my bowler cap to the courageous
for reaching the.......... sun
for even when they stifled art for ages
you still stuck to your................ guns
made the community................ one
helping babies university.................. fund
when the brothers all decided to............... run

"Memorable"
02:11
|
|||
Escaped and made a tape
for the sole purpose of living forever and being great
we're being memorable
(So we started being memorable)
And dressing up with flash
was thinking of coming over
but I didn't have cash
but I be memorable
(So we started being memorable)
I'm banking on my dreams
got a new kind of flavor for you cats on the scene
I'm being memorable
(So we started being memorable)
Playing my instrument well
not worried about another motherfucker in hell
I'm being memorable
(So we started being memorable)

"Just Kill The Kid"
02:03
|

Just kill the kid
cuz he's gone hog wild
He walks the streets
and never fuckin' smiles
he's got a chip on his shoulder and tooth
beat a sex assault charge
they didn't have enough proof
Just kill him!
Just kill the kid
he doesn't make any sense
had his eyes closed
and shot a 3 year old in the chest
couldn't even pass the drivers license test
Just kill the kid
(He wants to die anyway
that's why he lives his life this way
and so it goes you have to pay
and maybe next we have to kill you too)
Just kill the kid
mister, don't be cruel
he'll be worthless anyway
sir we just closed down his school
do unto others as they do unto you
what happened to that boy
he's got a missing screw
just kill the kid
Just kill the kid
he's selling hell of crack
signed to the NFL
he's got a huge contract
grew up amongst the poor
not giving nothing back
Just kill the kid
(He wants to die anyway
that's why he lives his life this way
and so it goes you have to pay
and maybe next we have to kill you too)

"The Darger Method"
02:58
|
|||
Knew I was wrong when I made that change
but I was set to do it anyway
for salvation you jus have to ask the lord of lords
and take stock in what you need it for
if not for that, then there wouldn't be this
no need to make our nipples bleed over a kiss
cuz of the passion we both went a little over board
and took a loan on what we couldn't afford
For no reason you can hold my hand
and take a trip back to the promised land
never made you feel anything but wonderful
I pulled a tooth you weren't ready to pull
wrote you a letter
saved a place in my soul
I loved you better than the star of the show
great weather
on my little walk to the store
need to pretty up my open doors

"I Missed"
02:01
|
|||
the streets of logan square
have lost their flare
since the little baby moved away
and yeah,
I was there
acting like I didn't care
just sent baby on her good ole way
didn't even ask the baby to stay
boy I should have asked the baby to stay
I missed+
The theaters and the parks
have lost their sparks
since the little baby had to depart
and yeah,
I was said
acting like I was glad
Telling baby bought a brand new start
didn't even ask the baby to park
boy I should have asked the baby to park
I missed+

"Battle Of The Buldge"
02:03
|
|||
Thought unique was gonna hurt me again
but it seems I have underestimated my friends
yes it feels like a treat to see the shackles are gone
and my heart at least will beat until the end of this song (this song)
Theres a place around the corner we meet
if you dont like that place
we can walk down the street
and maybe have a drink
if you would like to indulge
your in my history class
we'll talk the battle of the bulge (the bulge)
look at the street walker
walking the street
if the street talked it tell ya
their just like you and me
so you like to judge a person for the way that they stand
you should use your higher moral ground
and give them a hand (a hand)
little baby wants to kiss me goodnight
but I have to go to work
so we can keep on the lights
and read about our fathers unconditional love
your in my history class
we'll talk the battle of the bulge (the bulge)

"851 W. Webster Ave."
01:52
|

I know something that you wont tell
if darkness pays
thats what you'll sell
and your dreams
I got an angle that'll never fail
if darkness pays
thats what you'll sell
and your dreams
I keep
I keep
I keep
I keep to myself
after the walk off stage all of my energy left
in my dreams
I gotta
gotta
gotta
gotta unwind
creating limitless art
with my beautiful mind
in my dreams
And if I
If I
If I
If I was rude
it'd be a pitiful waste
of such a wonderful dude
in my dreams
I know something that you wont tell
if darkness pays
thats what you'll sell
and your dreams

"A Nigga Outside"
02:31
|
|||
Theres not a nigga outside that I could hate
too many niggas outside
I need a break
I'm just a nigga outside
trying to groew
theres not a nigga outside I want to know
if you a nigga outside
you should go home
if you a nigga outside
they took your throne
don't be a nigga outside
they won't let you in
still all the niggas outside
wanna be their friends
your mystery and hidden nature
touched my broken soul
so I submit to you a stranger that this world has never known
your stories defy logic
but turn the biggest profit
such emotions keep a nigga stuck and cold.
