Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x2)
--->
Play Intro over:
And I, I notice
the tapestries on the wall as well
And I, I stand up and hit my head on the mobile
And you, you look around too
And we, time passes easily
--->
Play Pre-Chorus (x2)
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
I've opened up my mind, So you can step
inside
You can expect to find, A
scenic ride
---> Play Chorus A (x1)
---> Play Chorus A
over:
Pointyhead pizzeria
perfect penetration
Mezcal cuts
off my brain communication
Belligerence, lost my intellegence
Talkin mess like shut up and listen to me
Because cuttin' through the crap is my
specialty
Like a bomb I'm
droppin yes a ton a lead
You're
tryin' to figure out the last thing I said
I'm a Redwood, I love to be a tree yes I'm a Druid
My words they're flowin' out like a
fluid
Never give in never
conform
I'll be bustin out
rhymes in a triplet form
---> Play Chorus B over:
Right Now, Right Now, Right Now
--->
Play Intro (x2)
---> Play Intro over:
In another room, I sit and contemplate
That winter night, my words were filled
with hate
In second sight, I should
have known my fate
But it's
allright, now we're in a different state
---> Play Pre-Chorus
(x2)
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
I've opened up my mind, So you can step inside
You can expect to find, A scenic ride
--->
Play Chorus A (x1)
---> Play Chorus A over:
Expiate, to make amends for
hostilities
It's easy to see
that for me, in reality
I'm not
one of those fools
With an
Ecclesiastical whitewash
To set
my ethical standards
You'll
never catch me lookin' to Ann Landers
Or Moses or the law or even Buddha
If there's one thing I know
It's always be true to myself
And learn from experience
Educated by nights of violence, trips to jail,
Broken knuckles and friendships
But that gives me the power to write a
groove that rips
---> Play Chorus B over:
Right Now, Right Now, Right Now
I Am, I Am, I Am
---> Play
