Old Friends

I got lots of old friends.
People I never See.
Folks I wish that I could catch up with
and others gone. Rest in peace.
I really miss you.
ya you are the reason I hope heaven’s real.
Text message telling me your gone, I don’t know how to deal
I'll tell you how it feels
Freight train to the chest,
Blindsided knuckle sandwich
got a jaw that's made of glass.
sucker punched by memories, I never even knew I had.
It's been a couple years, They said that Time would make it fade away,
Simple math. Really, the more you know the more your bound to lose.
people come and people go, that’s nature that's what people do.
love can turn to hate
and hate it tends to spread like wildfire.
quickly uncontainable,
highly uncontrollable.
try to take the highroad but it's hard to when you're feeling low.
Sometimes I look back and wonder where the hell my feelings go.
but lately Ive been feeling numb Feeling dumb struck.
And these emotions way too heavy for this dump truck.
I get these vivid recollections,
Seconds that I cherish, then they vanish I'm just lost in my reflection
until I find it.
I remember everything.
and it's amazing how your memory can calm and bring serenity
If your out there and you hear me. Let me say it clearly.
hope that your still with me you should know I miss you dearly.
Everybody’s doing fine, talk about you all the time.
wonder why the world is taking all the good ones prematurely.
I just hope it happens when Im ready to go
Fall asleep and never wake up ninety seven years old.
Last dream I ever have will take me way back when
go through Every single second live a lifetime again.
All I hope it happens when I've done all I can.
Tell me what's it gonna take before I say Im Content.
and tell me what I need to do before I get to the end
I give a hundred percent never holding anything back. Amen
Whatever non-word Jim Henson meant,
we were old friends when we had just met
and we stayed old, up to and today
You were just visiting, but I plan to stay
So when the well-dressed, small bird, comes for me
to tell me I’m about to die uncomfortably
I hope I spit upon his face and curse god
even if I could have been worse off.
I will not go quietly.
I heard that when you died, it was a violent scene
for which nobody gave you proper credit
it was copacetic, and you should know that I will not forget it
and Your folks didn’t approve at all
of my jokes at your funeral
you know, because I hide behind humour
I told them that I thought you’d die sooner
and that I deleted the history on your computer
like you asked me to. You sick motherfucker.

End of the Block

We chased a dream to the end of our block
Where. We. got. tired. and stopped
But the’ll be other dreams, the’ll be other blocks
...The’ll be lots
chased a dream to the end of our block
Where. We. got. tired. and stopped
But the’ll be other dreams, the’ll be other blocks
Lots
so if everyday’s a miracle,
the world been proven spherical
Empirical place we live in,
science versus spiritual
what’s a kid to do when holding your tongue is unbearable
we still inside the dark ages minus Ivan the terrible
money’s motivation so we living by the decimal
freedom is a word that we confusion with expendable
beauty is something that we don't really understand
cuz the man's only goal’s to fuck a centrefold
all we know is
life is moving faster than the cherry on your cigarette
I remember ripping off the best songs onto tape cassette
and I remember thinking one day it would be amazing
if some kids would steal my music off the radio
cuz I'm a visionary, My dreams are hella scary
I put myself in a position to be legendary
do what I want and I don't mean no disrespect
Listen I control the distance of my ripple effect
The lessons they drew, in elementary school
Were to follow rules, like it’s the best we can do
In high school, though, it was the same bamboozle
same poorly planned out stance you know
Even in college, with all the knowledge it brought us
Still just surrounded by shit being polished
The incompetent just carry on with it
And pass a new rule for the schools to tell us to follow it
So, Isn’t this fantastic?
Going to hell in a handbasket
We can imagine a better world, but can’t have it.
It’s hell in a handbasket
But it’s a shitty basket
Not even average
Or with a pretty package
As you can imagine
It’s a big advantage
To know the rules and when to break them
In a fit of passion
Isn’t this fantastic?
Going to hell in a handbasket
We can imagine a better world, but can’t have it.

Nice

You make-believe that you’re a nice guy
But that’s not how things work, despite tries
Your views on niceness need to be set aside
If that’s what chivalry is, then let it die
Let me guess,
your the type to pick out other people's flaws
ready to throw it in their face if they don’t play along.
With you, bitch you just a bully are your really so silly
don’t understand that maybe it's you that's the issue.
Too busy chasing a make-believe ecstacy
you never saw the person you were meant to see
you thought you were feeding compliments into a sex machine
and when it didn’t give you sex, you were extra mean.
Your stupid pickup lines are pissing me off.
Your whole demeanour got me praying that pianos could fall.
You’re disrespectful, ya
the way you tick it makes me sick
I'd tip this waitress fifty dollars just to punch you in the dick
You wanted to be nice and trade it in for sex,
which isn’t very nice, it didn’t show respect
listen bro, she doesn’t owe you shit
even under mistle-toe, ya, she doesn’t owe you shit
Listen buddy, and I don’t mean we're buddies.
I mean, I hate it when you talk but your mouth keeps on running
I know you think your funny when your speaking bout these bitches from the weekend
but thats girls a friend of mine, so tell me are you feeling lucky?
Don’t be a nice guy, just be polite
and leave her alone for the rest of the night
respect her boundaries and personhood
show her her social cues are working good
Now I’m not saying I’m a knight in shining armor
I can see that you’re a charmer
look, I’ll hurt you if you harm her
I might take you to the harbour
hold your head under the water
don’t you worry, I won’t kill you,
but, I swear I’ll leave you breathless
Hey diddle diddle, you just play fickle
Even if the grape’s sour, you wanted to take nibbles
Girls never admit that they single
They’re taught speak soft and carry a rape whistle
Nice. It doesn’t sound like you’re acting
Nice. It doesn’t sound like you’re actually
Nice. I don’t have to think
Twice. It sounds like you suck
Can’t you see, she’s outta your league, she’s outta your reach.
and telling you to "fuck off" ain’t a figure of speech.
I know that assholes finish last always,
always takes a little longer than I hoped but hey now we all go the wrong way.
Why can’t the people I dislike just die?
How could a god sit by and let them live life?
(I hate you, you suck). You are the worst person
I’m Giving you advice, all you hear is the birds chirping
When She Says no, where do you go?
Go a lil crazy or take the high Road
Do you get violent or should you go home?
text her ten times in a row brother put down that phone
Nice. It doesn’t sound like you’re acting
Nice. It doesn’t sound like you’re actually
Nice. I don’t have to think
Twice. It sounds like you suck

We all wanna be Robin Hood
and fight for the common good
but when it’s heavy, we put down what we’re carryin
I’m sorry Maid Marian
I'm stuck on my tendencies,
I have trouble with memories
I was drinking too heavily already be dead if this was Beverly Hills
Pray for a hundred but aiming for seventy.
I Wanna live longer than Kennedy
I like the way pandas been living cuz they chilling and eating without any enemies
don’t you depend on me steadily letting the people surrounding me down
(True)
but not everybody around me got my best intentions , I need em they bounce.
I'm down with the rhythm, I'm down with precision, I'm down with the timing,
I'm down with the work that I gotta put into this shit, if I don’t it’s forever a vision.
Done with the hoping and praying n wishing, Im hyper Efficient, Im quick with decisions, I'm already driven I’m nuclear fission my battery charging forever, cant run out of juice
Energy, Channel it, pack it and send it to management.
turn off your cameras I’m nothing glamorous
I'm not extravagant,but these inadequate feelings I’m having they got me inside of a world
where I'm reaching for help but nobody can hear me or see me or feel me alone in this place I'm the only inhabitant.
Help.
I’m stuck on my old flaws, that I should have outgrown in ‘03
Stuck on my own gods, jealousy and envy
Hung up on a faux pas that no one saw except me
They’re coming with robots for your jobs - for less fees
Still got my old flaws, and some new in ‘13
Still worship my own gods, jealousy and envy
Hung up on a faux pas that no one saw except me
They’re coming with robots for your jobs - for less fees
I guess we Need a second job or, yes, three
They’ll give us clothes to wear, we’ll be the best dressed team.
Or let’s just leave. Get unstuck from this rut
There’s a couple of us who believe enough is enough
Burn the whole thing down. and try again
Get the wisest men and women from the lowest to the highest ends
Of the earth.
Why pretend it won’t work?
The robots will built it for us
Cue the chorus...
(Filth's verse yet to come)

Don’t believe in shit, but still wonder what happens when I'm dead.
I wish I did, it’s complicated up there in. my. head.
No Casket for me, cuz Im hella Claustrophobic
cook me up and when it’s over launch my ashes in a rocketship.
the ends inevitable, so why you settling early,
such a rush to live securely, homie I ain't in no hurry.
Im a , Gentleman, but I can’t say I'm living purely.
do it bigger for my homies that already dead and buried.
cmon,
I aint looking for the glitter and gold.
I got the, Heart of a Lion but no yellow brick road.
I built a castle out of cardboard but its not up to code.
I'm just the Mini Supernova you left out in the cold.
it goes,
My imagination got me feeling like a movie star
if this a simulation I could use a cooler car.
If Reincarnation is real I hope you feeling lucky,
Some of us deserve to be the goldfish stuck inside the jar.
WHOA,
It’s loud inside my head all of the time.
No Sleep for the man with the busy mind.
this a race to be content before you say goodbye.
how do you define a person's life with a single line.
That's the ending tell me how the rest your story go.
Catch a plane just to ride the train in tokyo
Rain falling joy ride in the convertible.
conquering my world before the unexpected curtain close.
When you’re unconscious, do you miss your consciousness? (No)
Non-existence is no different, it’s just obvious. (So…)
When I die, it’ll be just like 1982
before I was born, before I even had a clue
that I was missing out
that I didn’t have a life to reminisce about
The road isn’t yellow brick
or paved in a fellowship
So to hell with it
There’s nothing more human than dying while praying not to
We’re like forgotten food expiring, but think we’re not food
The arrogance of denying that we’re on the food chain
Just drop my rotting body in the woods a few days
Donate your body to nature
Gain perspective. Lose faith
You can find me on the street yelling “fuck religion”
cause it’s used to justify a world that’s tough to live in
From what we’re given, I don't’ have a doubt
that when we die, it’s the same as when we pass out.

Jesus what an absolutely stunning collection of hip-hop. If I have to be a dick, this album is more of a mix tape in style, the aesthetics of each song is just so different, there's a certain level of narrative disconnect. That said, the actual songs themselves are fucking ill. Packed with dope features, each one matched with Scott's production makes for a genuinely rewarding listen. Rest easy man, you'll be missed.
