Lyrics/Song Structure:
Not I'm not the type to just act like I know
Puttin on an angle putting on a show
Speaking on nothing makes you a stunt
I'll tell you right here yo I don't front
I cross the t's and skip nonlegitimacies
Or else please
I cannont handle all the negative vibe merchants
Is that all you have in you per chance
So much angst and pain it's so wack
You should take a tip from the one Frank Black
Play some pachinko play some parcheesi
Cause all the angst sh*t is just cheesy
It's the 311 bliss too smooth for p**sed
Lyrics talkin loud again
Yeah we are the party men
Cosmetics that you fretted
We sport the high asthetic
Here go rap kickin the dazzled crazy mathematic
I am what I am mix some old school jams onto tape cuz the
Party's in the crates I scan step into the realm
What you gonna do
Give the party people something funky to listen to
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got
Bodyrock pop and lock here's an example
Boulevard chrome beats always ampin' your temple
Punks get got in the age of hip hop
It's just begun like stolen bikes on the blacktop
Born to sing a lyric immaculately concepted
No strain in your game if your game is respected
Come as you are radio star
Drown out the hatred with a rhyme
An electric guitar
Dispatched when rap shattered the glass of radio access
May we turn some soul on their rythmless dances
You know the time and they'l know the scoop
They'l say it was a rhyme and a beat of a rap group
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
Your rhymes have been outmoded
So just quityourbellyachin'
You're saying that your tortured
Give me a f**kin break and
Maybe take out the source
Of your disparing what do I mean
Kick the f**kin' heroin
I speak from experience
Because I didn't see clearly once
Acting like I dunce
In 1989 I was cocaine and Jim Beam
But now it's 95 and I'm ginseng
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got see
Misdirected hostility, that's what you got
