The Heavy After Hours
03:05
|
|||
[RAP VERSE]
Play with the torture
The voice in my head, I dread, yet sayin' ignore ya'
The cost to be, the boss to be
Maybe a fortune
Cookie crumbled, humble pie taking a portion
Whispers heard a bit disturbed
Maybe distortion
Muffled the words, troubled is heard
Lately consortin'
With consultants, haunted by it able to force in
A way to try make it work,
before they take it all and fix it, claimin' how they break it first
[Chorus]
Don’t call me when we’re after hours
Don’t ask me to feed your cat
I’m tryna keep things professional
I don’t know you like that
[RAP VERSE]
Coolin' my temper
Cant lose it all involved I gotta remember
They gonna wanna chop me down, never yell timber
Fall becomes spring in the summer not my winter
Begin the games again I guess I'll be the ender
Kicking down the doors sayin' do not enter
Pushing back the letters sayin' return to sender
Injured like a fender bender with pretenders who wanna say they always wanna be contenders
[Chorus]
Don’t call me when we’re after hours
Don’t ask me to feed your cat
I’m tryna keep things professional
I don’t know you like that
[Vocal bridge]
The cat has learned to bite, what a fright
Isn’t docile anymore, doesn’t know what play vs. fight
The cat has learned to bite, what a fright
Isn’t docile anymore, doesn’t know what play vs. fight
[Chorus]
Don’t call me when we’re after hours
Don’t ask me to feed your cat
I’m tryna keep things professional
I don’t know you like that
Don’t call me when we’re after hours
Don’t ask me to feed your cat
I’m tryna keep things professional
I don’t know you like that

Unstoppable
03:52
|

[Chorus]
The vibe in this room is palpable the message is unstoppable
Don’t you know that we all die, so we might as well be kind (I’ll say it again)
The vibe in this room is palpable the message is unstoppable
Don’t you know that we all die, so we might as well be kind (take it away)
[VERSE]
….Mark Ruffalo becomes Bill Bixby
Blood boiling with my temper gettin’ iffy
Crossing burning bridging gaps we had between us
Ignoring mediators claim that they had to see us
What you talk about, im walkin’ out, step with all these steppas
Pressed with all these measure and we mess with all these lessors
Measure up to no one, to a candle I hold none
Standard that I earn for this metal, not a gold one
[Chorus]
The vibe in this room is palpable the message is unstoppable
Don’t you know that we all die, so we might as well be kind (that’s what we said now)
The vibe in this room is palpable the message is unstoppable
Don’t you know that we all die, so we might as well be kind (listen up)
[VERSE]
…Corner flashed another towel shown
…Make you catch these words with a vowel thrown
waterdown nothin’ with this style grown
Saul Williams with a new found poem
See below, like webelow, you earn the badge
Play a game of walk on lava then we watch you burn to ash
Increasing all your chances…coins in the pot
Background actors mad they can’t join in the plot
[Chorus]
The vibe in this room is palpable the message is unstoppable
Don’t you know that we all die, so we might as well be kind (I’m gonna switch it up now)
Centuries of wrongs can’t be undone in one night
How can they be done, haven’t you heard of our organized, sweet, steady fight
Centuries of wrongs can’t be undone in one night
How can they be done, haven’t you heard about that organized, sweet, steady fight
[Chorus]
The vibe in this room is palpable the message is unstoppable
Don’t you know that we all die, so we might as well be kind
Heaven is a place on earth when we make it, we can’t fake it
Heaven is a place on earth when we claim it, I know we’ll make it
Heaven is a place on earth when we make it, we gotta make it
Heaven is a place on earth when we change it, I know we’ll make it

Throw That Weight Around
04:27
|
|||
[Rap verse]
We got the goons sittin’ down with the rawhides
The fed and starved won’t judge viewing court side
Meeting of the minds can’t blow our brains out
Expensive cheap rug, we can’t get the stains out
Late in fashion stares on the run way
Serious biz, work hard, no one plays
Took a lot of chances, got advances
Devils on the prom night, stopped all the dances
….Street science human chemistry
…the capital alone it could ruin industries
….here’s the research try and see
…Higher education tainted poison Ivy Leagues
The table, the harvest
unstable, the smartest
…who’s the hunter or the hunted
hogging that attention to speak at the summit
The table, the harvest
unstable, the smartest
…who’s the hunter or the hunted
hogging that attention to speak at the summit
[Vocal verse]
They sit behind closed doors
Plottin’ and plannin’ for more more more
Powerful people, connivin’, schemin’
Of how to get their goals to be our dreams and
It’s up to us to notice the power we possess
Lies in the time that we take
Cuz when we stall the system breaks so
[Chorus]
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!)
[Rap verse]
Shake babies, kiss hands
don’t look back, switch plans
No life left seeing heads jolt
Fingers on the pulse locked in, no dead bolt
Paint the town red rob a Red Cross
Or from the dead of the heads tossed
No consequence, contribution
Cutting on the TV to cause more confusion
A factoid as well, bad boys in hell
got tabloids for sell
Of what they teach, stress all the classes
They do stress, all the masses
[Vocal verse]
They perch on golden thrones
Laughing while we’re throwin’ stones
Distractin’ us from what matters most
We’re all made from water, air and bones
Electricity from our head down to our toes
Gives us the power we need
To hack the system, so repeat now!
[Chorus]
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!) Wait Around (gotcha!)
Throw! (Throw) That! (That!) Weight! (Weight!)...(gotcha!)

[rap verse]
I never know what to say, just to get close to you
Yeah We could just sit on down, our stand up’s overdue
We can breakaway our mold, I’m never own in’ you
I know I’m a different man but might be a clone to you
But wait…wait….
….let’s challenge ourselves with thoughts and hope that we keep the faith
….make sure that we talk and acknowledge and seek our fate
….I know how you are so, concerned enraged
…chapter done…turn the page
[Chorus]
It’s not about the things you say
You can spin words infinite
It’s about the things you do
That’ll bring me close to you
Ooooooh
[rap verse]
I never know what to say, just to get close to you
We should sit on down, our stand up’s overdue
We can breakaway our mold, I’m never own in’ you
I know I’m a different man but I might be a clone to you
But wait…wait….
….what you see in me is not a mirage or fake
….that you blend together with another collage mistake
…rather walk away knowing that I could be the one
…just set with the sun…stressin’ none, I’m done
[Chorus]
It’s not about the things you say
You can spin words infinite
‘S’all about the things you do
That’ll bring me close to you
Ooooooh
[Post Chrous]
….to get to close you (4x)

Magic mushrooms at the mall
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Got these blue eyes freeze, surprise
Didn’t pick ‘em but I’ll keep ‘em my disguise
[rap verse]
Tomorrow is today, today is tomorrow
Scrounge for a minute with a day I could borrow
So…I Crash the Delorean
Smashed an historian
Actin’ important when…
The Leap year got him froggy
Jumped in…hit him, i guess it was his hobby
…looking at the hourglass still
I wonder if the glass spilled…yelling…
[chorus]
Magic mushrooms at the mall
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Got these green eyes freeze surprise
Didn’t pick ‘em but I’ll keep ‘em my disguise
[rap verse]
Had a pendulum, threw it in the furnace
Bought a sun dial pissed I can’t turn it
…Argue, assure the facts with a bureaucrat that can’t cure the acts
legislation of my sanity
Registration of my vanity
Trapped more than a can of peas
Straight jacket still on backwards as they take me away as I keep on ranting pleas
[chorus]
Magic mushrooms at the mall
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Got these brown eyes freeze surprise
Didn’t pick ‘em but I’ll keep ‘em my disguise
Magic mushrooms at the mall
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Got these gray eyes freeze surprise
Didn’t pick ‘em but I’ll keep ‘em my disguise
Magic mushrooms at the mall
Magic mushrooms at the mall
Don’t do magic mushrooms at the mall
At the mall at the mall at the mall
Get yourself some nature folks

Make A Call
03:56
|
|||
Feel like nothing in life really matters at all
Sorry to bother you, miss, but could you please make a call?
Feels like I been on this porch bench swingin’ for far to long
Think it’s time to start tryin’ to sing a brand new song
[rap verse]
You love concrete pillows
Erase background, incomplete riddle
Broken toys in your broken homes
Get to witness, your own Mr. Fix It...now is a rollin' stone
Brag about your elevation
To fall off the wagon, made a reservation
You want Forbes lists, end up on ignored lists
All in the game to the end with high score hits
Feel like nothing in life really matters at all
Sorry to bother you, miss, but could you please make a call?
Feels like I been on this porch bench swingin’ for far to long
Think it’s time to start tryin’ to sing a brand new song
[rap verse]
My shouldve was I couldve, my couldve was I wanna
Wouldve helped you out, i look and youre a gona
Flip a trick more than skaters with a benihana
Reappear from a distance smell the henny on ya
Cover up your arms the tracks run your veins
Bad memories numb your brain
Disconnected wanna make a call
You take a piss at me, well then take a stall
[Chant(s)]
Go ahead…go ahead and make a call (4x)
Understanding kind eyes disarm us both despite dark skies
Thanks for your help; you’ve gone above and beyond
I understand it’s time for you to move on
Feel like nothing in life really matters at all
Sorry to bother you, sir, but could you please make a call?
Feels like I been on this porch bench swingin’ for far to long
Think it’s time to start tryin’ to sing a brand new song
[post chorus (2x)]
Did I feed your addiction…
Did you need a prescription…

Love Disdain
05:07
|
|||
Love disdain; love disdain
Part of our foundation
Love disdain; love disdain
Said I fill you with disdain
When you took what you wanted, I froze up like a clam
Then I gave you the power to make that moment who I am
[rap verse]
Edible arrangements
Fresh produce thats been stained with
Poison to grab you back, then snatch you up
I can stitch you down, so I can patch you up
The pace seeming tired
dragon chasin', breathing fire
leave me burnt to a crisp
My friends look goin' tsk tsk tsk
Say you don’t want this, just admit it please
I need that sweet release
Tell me you love me forever; don’t say you love me
‘Cause I remember
The cruel words you said
Play over in my head
Love disdain love disdain
Where are we on this plain
Love disdain love disdain
Today in love tomorrow in hate
Beaten myself up put on the grin again, pretended my heart wasn’t stolen
Glimmers of hope, your paradoxes, cast ‘gainst shadows of your consciousness
[rap verse]
Adults unadulturated
Act childish, being grown's overrated
Rip photos, wont make it back
Looks awkward on the dating app
Shots fired off with the aim at that
Sleep with the enemy and break ya back
Its in my nature no Ric Flair
Your eyes go black with the quick stares
Say you don’t want this, just admit it please
I need that sweet release
Tell me you love me forever; don’t say you love me
‘Cause I remember
The cruel words you said
Play over in my head
[sax solo]
Say you don’t want this, just admit it please
I need that sweet release
Tell me you love me forever; don’t say you love me
‘Cause I remember
The cruel words you said
Play over in my head

Gamblin' Man
03:04
|

[rap verse]
Are you gambling man?
Chips up your sleeve got you scrambling, man
Count cards, you’re anti-hero
Surprise you’re ocean’s zero
Gotta make up the fees
Cause they saw with an ace up your sleeve
Coated lies with the diamond rings
As you bet your whole life for the shiny things
So you blow on the dice
Roll it once then you’re rollin it twice
You the roll the ball and you hope it lands
On the red or the black and you’re yelllin out
hot damn
I’m gonna hold you
And I’m gonna hurt you
And I’m gonna milk you
For every cent that you have
[rap verse]
Are you Gamblin’ right?
Having bad luck on Gamblin’ night?
Slot machines won’t give you three Cherries
…results indeed vary
need a new pair of shoes
Up the blackjack with 21 to 22
Made a new debut
And you just paid more than a few
Now you stuck with the charm
You kinda mad while she clutch on your arm
There’s no refunds, it’s on the house
So you’re feeling so bad while you’re zoning out
Hot damn….
I’m gonna hold you
And I’m gonna hurt you
And I’m gonna milk you
For every cent that you have
[instrumental]
I’m gonna hold you
And I’m gonna hurt you
And I’m gonna milk you
For every cent that you have

Riffin' At The Disco

[rap verse]
Not 54
Tectonic shifting more
Asked the DJ to play my jam
Not knocked the drink right out my hand
Sweatin’, never did learn that lesson
With them looks they find contestants
They run that scandal
Buy them drinks they run and scramble
Nah not me I’m not these chumps
Yell out words to knock kneed punks
Who don’t know about that old school
I lie detect its so true
I’m so smooth, three piece suit
Kicks and jeans you don’t need proof
If you see us stand around, we don’t get down with the dancing clowns
Get those boots a movin’ on the dance floor
Stilettos come and prove it on the dance floor
Come and put your sexy body on display
Take that groove, express it it in your own way
[rap verse]
I lighten up…
vodka, Hawaiian Punch
Got me chill, eclectic vibe
Two step nice, electric slide
…no one’s hard as you
That’s why you’re not invited to the Bar B Wue
…Pat down at the door
Get in act wild on the floor
Bump! No line of cocaine
Newest moves that’s oh so strange
That’s what the kids do nowadays
Can’t really say I’m so amazed
New school and they seem so strange
But to me it’s just so lame
But for now I’ll just peep game
But you know to me it’s all the same
Get those boots a movin’ on the dance floor
Stilettos come and prove it on the dance floor
Come and put your sexy body on display
Take that groove, express it it in your own way
Get those boots a movin’ on the dance floor
Stilettos come and prove it on the dance floor
Come and put your sexy body on display
Take that groove, express it it in your own way
Get those boots a movin’ on the dance floor
Stilettos come and prove it on the dance floor
Come on, put your sexy body on display
Take that groove, express it it in your own way

Straight Goods

[rap verse]
My heads off my shoulders yet I’ve been thinking
To resign from your life, no inklings
I’ll pack up this old bag, then I ghost you
shell of my old life, it needs new hosts too
These bright lights don’t mean much but interrogate
I’ll find out if I’m gassed at a better rate
Pull strings, unraveling this web I’ve tangled
In business you make friends who aren’t those angels
You don’t know me; you don’t own me
Can’t hold me down
I’ll give it to you honestly
When I break it down
Ah-ooo woah woah
[rap verse]
Couch surf and find out if I’m built for this
Asking the jury would you kill for this
Bear on your soul as I leave this
Pledge your alliance and allegiance
I swear, I swear, I solemnly swear
I care, do care, won’t care, don’t care, won’t dare
Go down
At sunset that’s my showdown
See your hand and call your bluff
In my face, you’re all so tough
Peace and love with all that noise
Back to biz just fall back toys…yeeaah….
You don’t know me; you don’t own me
Can’t hold me down
I’ll tell it to you honestly
Lemme break it down
Ah-ooo woah woah
Ah-ooo woah woah
Ah-ooo woah woah
