lyrics
Analyrical:
I can say a lotta venom if i want to, and if I want to
I'll stain this track
Save an act, no let em drown, never step around
challenges abound,stress the sound best address 'em now,
I heard you talking all the way
How much cockiness can fit in one day?
How much energy is needed to be dealing with the feelings
you erased, better check the pace, leatherface
Rawhide, glamour, Glitz, ball size
The truth is in you, but we always see the false side
Small Cries, Big Cheers, hands up, braindead
Love that swagger, but never care what they said
Phingaz:
There's no such thing as a mirror.
Only windows, so take a look
at my soul.
Hook:
I hope that image shatters on the ground(shatters on the ground)
I hope that image turns you around (turns you around)
How many tales can the truebadours unveil
How many songs til a movement starts
You can make the lyrics crazy as hell
But when is it Garbage and when is it art?
Analyrical:
You a hard-ass huh?
A real ballbuster
Your way or the highway, watch your friends all suffer
Watch em plan a revolt, hands full of repulse
Final Frontier where the fear is a weak pulse
Please show a sense of your duty
Admit your mistakes and ditch the ingrate
Interlaced with inner traits that invade the innate
Intimate the inlaid that innovate the innerspace
We're all just living on a line
We're here together but you're on your one of a kind
Too needy, Too Greedy, Too Stubborn
The realness in you always hidden undercover
Hook
Phingaz:
It's a simple damn question, "How much are you respecting?"
Yourself? Your life? Or those who give you all your blessings.
Testing my patience, through self degradation.
A fundamental flaw in the human situation.
I'm asking for help, I can't do it by myself
Keep your mind greedy
This is not about wealth
Keep your mirror clean - it's everyday maintenance
Make it a habit on the steps to greatness
I'm not saying there's no way to cut loose,
It's all in moderation - less your lies become truth
If it hurts too much, then tell me who are you?
With nothing to hold onto, no parachute
Stop jumping - all these bridges
Stop digging - all these ditches
Cause if you're saying your the best, best remember your roots
There's always someone better than - you.
