Lie Low

Author: Beat by Anno Domini Beats.

what makes a person tick
what makes them feel what they feel?
is it their experiences that teach a human to steal?
or is it in the genes
predisposed to being fiends
angry teens
routines of acting mean
beatings in the canteen
get the student body ranting
but when the jury asks nobody says a damn thing
cuz now they're suddenly scared
that when he gets out, he'll murder them and come for their parents
this is the birth of a psycho
- who knows where he might go?
if life is a computer then this man is a typo
control-A delete
next week the whole fleet is flyin out to the east
to drop bombs on the weak in the name of the peace
that the natives received when all their nations were seized
don't speak to me about my civic duty
I'm tryin to figure out the real truth and not just what you spoon to me




this is, the way that life goes
I miss it, the days of light load
and now we're, we're forced to lie low
i guess this is, the way life goes


I've been cynical since cynicals made appearances in dictionaries
played pictionary with a visionary missionary
he told me that he'd seen my future
then scribbled on the white board
and pointed at the luffa
said to cleanse my soul of any evils that i harbor in deep
and if i get plenty of sleep then i'll be on in a week
he meant the talent was the base core
but if i work on my face more then all the pretty women will develop a taste for it
and then my shows my sell out
and then my album's double platinum and the bros out yell out
every line of every verse i wrote and h*** spell out
my name on colored shirts, one letter per h*** no doubt
this is the life that many dream of, but not me
i want the money sure, yeah i do, but not fame
so insecure with everything that I should probably quit
and take a slit to the wrist n go to sleep as i drift


this is, the way that life goes
I miss it, the days of light load
and now we're, we're forced to lie low
i guess this is, the way life goes


my father told me that you gotta play the game to get ahead of it
too many people think it's easy when i pen this sh**
well, maybe i do my job right
maybe in a couple of years i'll be in the spotlight
but maybe just a small one cuz all i want's an indie career
wanna press myself an album not too many will hear
crowds of 50 people louder than a stadium's cheer
pumpin - fists in the air, gettin wasted on beer
this is the way the music should be
it's not a business venture or cash comin out of the ass
but it could be
cuz thats the way that people seem to want it
it seems to me that if you got it then you need to flaunt it
and all these white kids, that feel the need to speak ebonics
actually, i don't think i'm even speakin on it
cuz i know what it's gonna come to
but sooner or later you kids,
i'll be the one that you look up to


this is, the way that life goes
I miss it, the days of light load
and now we're, we're forced to lie low
i guess this is, the way life goes
