lyrics

early morning
static channel
pretty pictures
in my camera
i been trippin
i been faded
pick your number
yelllow pages

when i'm down i been down
don't matter everything is plastic
when i'm trippin i been trippin
tryna capture life in the lens

Early morning smoking up
put it down, pen and pad
this gotta change
they all asleep that's tryptophan
ls, you trippin man
chased a wave just a crutch
fallin down a flight of stairs
couldn't see tried to touch
an life's a struggle every day's a price gouge
every city turnin all the lights out
an belts tighten up, hunger games and they watchin us
nsa, watchin us, plus hussein he been watchin us
i been on the bus, i dont drive
only gd a mine is, adonai
no messiah in my time
still survivin, blazin dimes
stay alive, stay an rise , eyes wide open scopin
an I bought an o, a subway token
lurk on the low, an they barely know
ladies man but I stay alone
I didnt mean to lead you on
but you'll still pick up when i call you tho
im lightin up, smokin out
foggy night im waved off
good weed, good lean leffe blonde and 8 shots

when i'm down i been down
don't matter everything is plastic
when i'm trippin i been trippin
tryna capture life in the lens
up in allston up on broad street
what you want girl just call me
things have changed but still the same
promise that i'll never be your friend

perfect day, lou reed
just let me know what you need
fuck if they judge how you eat
what you seen been true
lonesome highway, steel guitar
angel eyes, crashing cars
east texas, pa hard
bangin screw, sippin bar
up on a flight like a satellite
by the candle light what the phantom write
washington heights and i packed the pipe
i'm a pretty boy but no fashion type
walk wit a bop and a fancy watch
chop on the block wit a dancer broad
flow so sick cancer out
flow so sick passing out
ask about that els kid, he sells shit, peddle it
paperwork, settlement, dropped a rack, decadence
evidence get confiscated, wasting ink, always faded
what you want, pay to play, hallway plays
dropped a text and i'm on the way, an like vinyl she wanna play
fuck around wit that white girl, palin, john mccain
outsiders, artist types, comic books, dark nights
i look good, thats art right, all we are is sparks right
