Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro/Verse 1
(x4)
---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
Nick:
I'm in a good way on a bad day thinking of
a plan a way to stay
On top of
it, nailin' in I have a fit if I sit, sit doin' nothin'
Which is what I done so far but I carve a
niche with sits in
My good
things brain layin' the tracks like a loco mo spark the Jay
---> Play
Verse 2 over:
Table Rosa is my
brain don't mean to bug or drive you insane
Don't have to guess just what I'm sane (sayin')
If I had a point, I'd say it plain
--->
Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
Dammit
my brain is blank and that's lame
I would be a liar if I said I was inspired
Nothin' to say but that's ok
--->
Play Chorus over:
Nod your head
to this
---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
Messin' around, I'm not having it you bite the hand I put your
head out
I come to know a
travesty and so sad to see
The
scene dictated by frustrated former musicians
Switchin' the emphasis from art to money
---> Play
Bridge over:
But I demand
autonomy what else I tell you what's wrong to me
The industry's ability to manufacture
stars
They churn them out like
Iwo Jima makes cars
---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
But the blame lies not with those suits for
trying it's the sheep
That keep
on buying that souless crap whatever they put in front of ya
The hysteria of America
---> Play
Chorus over:
Nod your head to
this
---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
Well, stress is the enemy and not a friend to me
One thing I see is to be easy goin'
throwin' down sit back
And watch
my life flowin' and knowing life is but a dream
---> Play Bridge
over:
You can ask my home team,
let me tell you how I seem
My
economy seems to be in words not action actually ya see yes
---> Play
Intro/Verse 1 over:
I'm a
tempest and I rarely rest but that's what you go to do
If you want to be the best
So I'm on a threshold so don't tell me
no
I just flow and know I can
count on my bros
---> Play Verse 2 over:
Table Rosa is my brain don't mean to bug or
drive you insane
Don't have to
guess just what I'm sane (sayin')
If I had a point, I'd say it plain
---> Play Intro/Verse 1
over:
Dammit my brain is blank
and that's lame
I would be a
liar if I said I was inspired
Nothin' to say but that's ok
---> Play Chorus over:
Nod your head to this, to this, to
this
---> Play Fill 1 over:
Don't you know that the devil he's in me and God she is too
My Yin hates my Yang, but what the hell ya
gonna do
I choose a rocky ass path
but that's how I like it
Life's
a bowl of punch go ahead and spike it
---> Play Ending (x1)
