[Scratches]

[Verse 1]

Welcome to a piece of brain tissue, my brain's lungs

Filled with octane like liquid it came from

Some silly, said her tits sellin illy

Really? By the jar? Pump the car full of grey jelly

Called her Ronda, after I shit on the dash

Cause I can't stand hooked up on dust

The three manuveur so swiftly in and out of looters

Through checkpoints with juice in stashed coolers

2002, my album's played through

ID on the window like it's fucking Beirut

Too bad no planes flew into MTV

I'll never get a platinum plaque for MP3

Being blackballed by a white MC - Pause

I guess that faggot found the right MD

And I'm twisted but not like faggots that suck fame

This clown is saying I'm sicker with metal than mudvayne

I train my following like a bitch modelin

H is like a God and it won't stop hollerin

Fuck needing a TV to be a rockstar

Punch a hole through Mark Wahlbergs chest and dent a copcar

Put my brain in it, I wouldn't last a minute

Scribble some shit in 30, I'm love like gimmicks

Sluts, cynics, ducks with dipped spinnage

Fuckin you up in the front row's good for image

[Scratches]

[Verse 2]

I gotta walk on, half feet in Harlem for a gorilla

That lost his family and want revenge on his killer

Clapped the poacher, fled the stomach of rap through and ulcer

Covered in blood, eating with vultures

Off the chain and got a hook in his backskull to my feet

Breastfeeding, moms was cooking up crack

Drop me in a pot, cop in the spot, pistols gleaming in the sun

Look son - I'm fistal fiendin

Nine to script with leading any malicious beatings

Specially if feeled if the couples bitch is breedin

Six is reading, bitterly gritty

Caught a GTA charge before Liberty City

Too bad no brains blew out no heads plenty

I'll prolly die after I Blow like Ted Demme

There's no conspiracy, your bitch is a forced fit

In the telly yelling "Behold the pale horse dick"

Fuck the Taliban, I'm back to Ballys, and

Keep your little faggot brother off her Sally, man

I can explain this "do not cross this line" in my brain

Feds in the crib, but they're not finding the cane

Cause time in the game, New York is trife

My boy T on the lamb like a fork and knife

The corporate life, too fond of the blonde talker

So I grew a beard and switched sides like John Walker
