lyrics

It’s just a room / Four walls and a floor / Yeah it’s a venue / To us it’s a menu / Men who genuinely aren’t gentle / Play an instrumental / It turns to a temple / Just you wait / Adjust your fate / It fluctuates when I waltz in the door / I once was ignored / But that was just once / And I winced a little bit but now there’s jaws on the floor / When I spit a little shit I’m like The Riddler on Ritalin / No fiddling with middlemen / It’s four times four / Bars / Clubs, bars, pubs / I fill them up like jars, jugs / Chew em / Spit em / Cigar stubs / But the music isn’t mine / It’s ours, us / We is the pronoun / Cuz the scene that I’ve seen is obscenely serene how it goes down / Hey yo / Look around you / Look at what surrounds you / All the faces / And the place is / So amazing /Good gracious / Whatchu all about? / The scene / Whatchu call it now? / The scene / Whatchu all about? / The scene / Whatchu call it now? / The scene / I go to different shows / And hear em kickin flows / And in an instant go from miserable to ‘this is dope’ / The way an infant grows from the chin to the toes / From the stem to the rose, I’ve seen it all / From biblical to minimal / Fictional syllable are criminal but typical / Still I ain’t cynical / And when you hand me a flyer / Prepare to acquire one back when I unpack / Every show I’m at there’s 140 characters / Tryin to write a book with 140 characters / Tweetin on their cell phone 140 characters / Put your phone down you are witnessing a massacre / Yeah you ignore me in person but / You show me love on the internet / I hear you preachin them sermons, huh / Keep burnin that intellect / Hey yo / Look around you / Look at what surrounds you / All the faces / And the place is / So amazing /Good gracious / Whatchu all about? / The scene / Whatchu call it now? / The scene / Whatchu all about? / The scene / Whatchu call it now? / The scene / Take heed, y’all / This is for the NYC, y’all / Jersey, CT / I see y’all / Down south, west coast and between, y’all / All people / Get free, y’all / Be whatever you wanna be, y’all / Eyes closed, lean back, just freefall / I know it seems wack as can be, y’all / But be all that you can be / Whether you’re Bambi or Candide / A Camry or Lamborghini, yep / Play it however you wanna play it / My vowels are on the pavement / My fouls are always flagrant / My bowels are never fragrant / I scowl at every agent / Who’s sayin we’ll never make it / We’re makin it in a basement / So blatant never complacent / Impatient my generation / Is achin for deviation / With ancient articulation / It’s radiant so we’re sayin / Hey yo / Look around you / Look at what surrounds you / All the faces / And the place is / So amazing /Good gracious / Whatchu all about? / The scene / Whatchu call it now? / The scene / Whatchu all about? / The scene / Whatchu call it now? / The scene.
