You can catch me rollin' down memory lane too many thoughts in my brain I can never retain the trauma never goes away, it forever remains we're never the same, look around, everything's changed everything's strange, nobody is playing no games, they comin' for blood, nobody is sayin' no names but in the end, I'm guessin this the way it's really gotta be that's why I'm sittin on this couch, puffin on this pottery never heard of modesty, but i've heard of honesty that's what sets your boy apart from all these other wannabes promise me, you'll take a couple moments to be kind today might save another person's life in some kinda way really aint no words that resemble what i say and that's probably why my hands always tremble when i pray I stay nimble every day, never know what's round the corner born to this world, but I'm feeling like a foreigner

Come into the mansion, welcome to the palace, /We're like a light from above, aurora borealis, / a style so callous, raise your pimp chalice, /mr. bright side, it's always sunny in Dallas, /if you really wanna dance, come on baby, let's tango, /You know I keep the beat like my name was Ringo, /one big smile, click-bam, where'd my brain go - /-everything we do is off the chain like Django, /can't defeat me, cheat me, or delete me, /cause God ain't dead, sorry Frederick Nietzsche, /livin in the new world, makin' up reality, /no more unified sense of morality, /lifetime lover, girl, doin' what I must, /we can live happy baby, have a little trust/ya never heard a mixed breed, spittin this mean, I hope you all liked my super sweet sixteen

Shit---I'm sick of bein broke, i got a show later, man, hope I don't choke, and if ya don't know, bro, I'm on a short rope, my Daddy left home so that he could snort coke, my life's no joke--the world's in trouble, a rich man, poor man, shit, man, we all just struggle, Ya heart's in my hands and you know I can't juggle, what do you make? well, I wanna make double, now keep it goin', mama didn't raise no fool, and I'ma stay rappin even when it's not cool, remember growin up, no heat, no power, pitch black house with the ice-cold shower, listen up closely, please understand me: when I make it big, it's goin' to my family; cheer up mama, keep ya head to the sunshine, gotta do it one time for my damn bloodline
7.	Paranoid Negroid 00:59	lyrics	buy track
the Beast comes out when you open that cage, /Young at heart, can’t act my age,/ read my mind, just turn that page,/ coming up fast like minimum wage,/Ain’t heard about me, I’m talk of the town /city on my back when I’m walkin around,/People love gossip, yep that’s true,/staring at me, I ain’t lookin at you,/eyes on the prize, feet to the road,/hands to my sides, clear my throat,/fans to the left, hoes to the right,/coulda lived wrong, but I chose to be right, /don’t be fooled by the jokes I tell,/shit gets real, man, I been through Hell,/can’t you tell? No? Oh well,/I guess I hide my demons well. (damn) my flow so money, I just struck oil, there will be blood on american soil, ya'll want beef, I cook flame-broiled, slum dog millionaire, call danny boyle
