Introduction 01:01
Welcome to the 12 beats of Xmas last year I got a year full of Tetris building blocks, blocking out Smokey Rob and mirrors concave enslaved to a misdemeanor now I'm in doubt no I can't see clearer must have been the Kool-Aid I swapped for the window cleaner trust issues, no tissues and fish hooks broken van broken promises and misuse abuse coming from all corners feeling no support like a foreigner stuck at hope's border gone south to the north pole projects broken and the compass in the spin zone

Lot of Lotus 01:39
To open like a flower takes about an hour from penis to the penal gland I think they should rename your pussy the cannibal eat men up, spit them out then take a cold shower It was a long time ago It's not your fault it's also not mine I forgive you but know that there's a line I was inspired but the blockages yeah you can even be inspired by the blockages. I can stick a fork in the stock exchange or sit at a hostel desk in the dark and try to remember my own name. And ask... "Have I blocked out my own life?" "Do I search for trauma?" That's when I asked Morrigan, goddess of the forest. I stared out the window and she stared back. She said: "There was time when her world was shaped like a pear, her body was bare so willing to share." Will six months sober for me or six months single for her just give it some motherfucking air?

Working 01:29
Well what do you see in the camera's eye what do you feel when the crow flies a million miles from the home in the winter time or when you ditch the alligator with the salt and pepper shaker you become the movie maker of your own mind and with a bit of abundance you can be at a sun dance and there's a good chance that you can move through that's why I made myself a mirror for the honey bee keepers not the bees please Nic Cage we're working we're straining twisting and twerking we're shamelessly strong and we're dream murking my man Smokey Mirror told me straight up the spirit's strong when it's working

I think I went to outer space to find some fucking bass I was abducted and I felt a little obstructed the aliens asked what is this type of music I said motherfuckers this is drum and bass music they said you're a human so tell us wassup I showed them the two girls and one cup they said man this human's too wack we're going to have to send this motherfucker back

Binge Crosby 02:01
Where do ideas come from when the mind's numb? They don't they don't they freeze up, shiver and spoke un-eaten breakfast on a plate, a headache, lukewarm laughter into stared space, her phone number, but no sting, thank god every day I never caught a thing, but I was probably close to an std or death, was she really on the pill? did I really wake up on the train tracks? so when I see the ol draino staring right back at me I tell it go fuck itself infinity they say it works until it didn't, a nuclear power plant mixed with a bit of Rumpelstiltskin, that nice fat ass I'll never remember, sober October kicked it to hyper drive by mid December, and now I kill it on a Sunday I've got so much thanks, yo Jesus take the day off you don't need the blood bank, instead I'll hit church or hit work or even load up Christian Mingle for the big flirt I come back to who's sitting across from me? sifting teary-eyed through the medical dictionary I diagnose thee with a cocaine comedown, come here have a hug and you'll soon come around

I heard never run away from your problems solve them, but the fuck would you do? 5 years old, a door slam, a fuck you, I bet you'd probably run too, cause if that's love then it's misuse so I ran through the cold and the frosty debris, I'm still emotionally wiping my nose on my shirt sleeve, I guess it takes a whole lot of loving to abuse both your kids and leave them both with nothing and there-in lies the generational curse it ain't no voodoo magic, just the piss test to tell if things can get worse, crack cocaine from the Starbust The answers that I seek are so trivial I diagnose my mental house as stomach cancer, and back to the answers that I think are so trivial, please pour some milk inside my cereal, it water better, is beer better, it's the champagne of breakfast are the eggs benny ready Penny, come blow me pass the skillet off to Jenny, Henny, if you need me just holler, cause it's Canada y'all make 70 cents to my dollar, that's fucked up and straight trash when misogyny is baked into the blood bath I guess minus percentage use their brain synapse and I guess history is always just a relapse
7.
Grime 01:36
I'm the lyrical decathlete I jump and run and spit and squirm Did I tell you that shoot skeet? Put that shit on repeat I guess I'm just having a good old time I love DNB and RNB but now it's time to spit on grime Sounds more sweetly than a wind chime Yes I'm precious like metal More infectious than the ring you have in your ears More soothing than a flower petal I'm more of a laugh than a heckel More Hyde than a Jeckell If I ever start drinking again you'll know and I might I'm just another rebel the cause is an anachronism and a brain schism Did you know I'm a pebble? the first one cast in the Nile I came out with style There is no denial

Horse traffic down the street in front of me in every detail Mouths flapping teeth are tapping to the beat and rattling chain mail Orion sweet desire hey is that Renee, oh no Your sister walked past me We met by the dead tree For all to not see And fall so gracefully
10.
The Truth 01:11
The Truth Woke up under the covers Knight Sweats Thank god it's Friday on a Sunday It writes It deceives It prints Philly, July 5th, 1876 is a day that should forever live in infamy Lily lost her sunscreen (and her head) in Barcelona 2013 Coral Gables All day every day

Duh!? 02:03
hate the government we live and accept corruption like minority leaders growing up in a ghetto electing anyone new is conformity ignorance they're all jerking each other off like a high school dance wanting acceptance yet, uninvited it's taken this long for criminals to figure it the fuck out populate a district majority always wins Duh! are you stupid? Duh! don't understand language? Duh! just give up? Duh! are you a stupid fucker? Duh! can't get it up? congress and senate are under the influence of laid back fucks attack that can't remember their own reasons death to old systems don't let anyone, don't let anyone, don't let anyone, don't trust your... duh
