Something Rough (feat. Casey Moo & Dick V)

My man asked for a dollar, claiming that he thirsty I told him, "Drink water," under his breath he cursed me We all gotta eat, gotta build, gotta cheat, gotta steal Gotta kill just to get by I smoke emcees to get high while perceivin the lies Sayin my drive is all wrong, but at least I can ride So I feast on ya mind, hungry for brain food Different ingredients boilin in the same stew I remain true to roots now decayed beneath me Never too proud to find out what an elder could teach me Till the dirt's on my face and my memory's erased I taste every single flavor that can reach me It's a cliche, but my big mouth always gets me in trouble Sometimes it gets me laid, but then the pain gets doubled Cuz one night turns into nine months Turns into: Why the fuck did you ever ask me out in the first place Worst-case scenario: I'm wrong about everything So I say I'm always right just to stay consistent See, my consistency is broken down into chemical compounds And sounds shrouded in mystery (Here's a mystery:) Is love just synapses misfiring A neurochemical conjob? Somebody messed with the wiring You could ask a thousand people, get a thousand different answers Some say it doesn't matter; some say it's all that does Meanwhile, my man's thirsty as fuck and no one cares So he's stuck beggin for change from Bedford Ave squares Or, if you're in my hometown, that's Calhoun Square Said he's stuck beggin for change to buy liquor and prayers Sometime you think you wanna play it easy Sometime you think you wanna play it safe Most days you gonna run from this reality And most of every night you gonna smoke it all away You hear it time and time again, well, here's another time, my friend Don't tell me times are hard and tough If you wanna be sharper than me You gotta rub against something rough It's been fifty-five in the right this nifty drive where I try To find my mind while tires glide on the ice I got a Violent guy who resides behind a smile and a vice If I don't find his demise I might just find that it's I Need to finally define this mighty line that I ride And siphon life from all the tears I cry for those who have died A sign that I should survive all I'm looking for Is more blinding beacons of light I'll be cooking for And if these feelings cease to exist I mean it I will dismiss Myself from being leave no reason to live I need to keep some shoes on my feet what I'm stepping for Respect every level of life need I mention more Never set the score limits are needless I'm just hoping every poor righteous teacher beats their demons Every question brings fact and if I stop believing that All my answers in tact will bring uncanny weakness And I can't have none of that I rip the map to pieces My path unplanned and it matches only these thirteens it's Not repeated and non-compete it's possibly Forever incomplete and it's up to me it's not for pleasing I thought I needed a cushy spot to lock the dream in Proud to be undoubtedly lost now I found my reason I got depleted from self and almost tossed the keys in Rubbed against the rough and sharpened up that's when I cut the leashes I'm not a leader savant and I don't fit your thesis Looking for a fictional god you better step to Jesus I'm meant to be this at peace with mental tweezers Dissecting every second to see what it is that I believe in My end will be when I'm ready I don't foresee nothing steady Please forget me when I've left and let's be friendly I've never seen something last and grown acceptant of that The only fact is death I'd like to leave it at that Sometime you think you wanna play it easy Sometime you think you wanna play it safe Most days you gonna run from this reality And most of every night you gonna smoke it all away You hear it time and time again, well, here's another time, my friend Don't tell me times are hard and tough If you wanna be sharper than me You gotta rub against something rough Sometime you think you wanna play it easy Sometime you think you wanna play it safe Most days you think you gonna play the master But most of every day you know you're gonna play the slave You hear it time and time again, well, here's another time, my friend Don't tell me times are hard and tough If you wanna be sharper than me You gotta rub against something rough I'm a lonely traveler, bones drip marrow in catheters Corroded livers smoke and quiver beneath the sounds of harrowing laughter Foment disaster, people shouting: Build that wall They must be plastered, we last for half the revolution Before asking Master, we figure it's faster Lips to the mastermind give service, nervous perpetrators' purpose Is to hurt this holy healing halo with harangues in cursive Sang from birth, kid, now we silent, deafened, blind, and wordless Like it's worthless to mix words with beats without guaranteed purchase Barkin lyrics like orders, don't give a fuck about borders Don't think for a sec this is objective-I ain't a reporter I work hard, I play god, don't tell me don't quit my day job I spit with the real rap gift like Christmas, yeah, so haters, take off This is the bloody version, cut up ya buddy version Bareback, uncensored, doggystyle, slutty version If you're offended, I guess that's fuckin tough You wanna be sharp, you gotta rub against something rough
