Lyrics

Adjust

[Verse 1 : Slug]

I woke up on the wrong side of my head

Converts the day into search for awake until I go to bed

I drove up, but misplaced the directions they learned

Ignored the arrows and the signs

Just follow the sense

I don't know whether or not you can comprehend

Levers and knobs got stripped and that was just within the launch of it

They found me in up to my neck

All they saw was this head floatin' on top the ocean

It didn't stop the motion

They kept goin'

Perfect, didn't recognize Slug

Or the effects he'd have when he disrupts the class

Mission bound, twisting around my realm of lost

Cash is expensive, I think I can smell the cost

Decomposion, something died right behind that wall

TV gave me all I needed

It only took a phone call

Pay by the minute

85 percents a second coming

All over the breasts of she who left the water running

Flood the basement, drown the MCs and centipedes

Filed complaints, civil suits and try to sue the sidle tendencies

Energy drained, drain plugged -- hence the flood

Find the fault line, shift plate, take blame off of Slug

[Hook: Beyond]

[Verse 2 : Slug]

Ayo Money let's sit down if you've got the time

Cause if you can take the time, I've got some substance on my mind

No I don't really know you, but I know who you are

We've spoke a few times, joked a few times

We even toked a few times

I can remember one time purchasing weed from you once

Yeah, it was worth it

One time we even discussed maybe hooking up and workin'

It didn't happen, but that's not the reason for this

I know I should just get to the point

So let's all get to the point

But let's all get to the point

You may get pissed at what I'm about to spit

Bottom line is mad or not, somebody needs to say this shit

When I'm finished, you might wanna fight

But I don't wanna fight, I've seen you fight

Go ahead, get wild, and I'll still smile for bein' right

See me and mics are like marriage: makes life complete

And you've been fuckin' with nasal drugs, renders love obsolete

I dare to speak upon you, not to front on you

But I'd rather address this here matter

Than have to duck and shun you

It's getting close to harvest, time to count your livestock

All I've got for a hype is five spots to shovel my sidewalk

It's still within you, I can see it, I think it froze

Cause you keep cooling it off, putting winter in your nose

[Beyond (spoken)]

Man, I don't know about you no more kid

I mean look at your shit, I mean your shit's all off balance

I mean I don't know, you're fucking with these drugs and shit

I just don't know, I don't know

[Hook: Beyond]

Adjustments - they need to be constructed

[Verse 3: Slug]

Adjustments, they were made, but not just for the purpose of adaption

Cause that's natural, I'm trying to stay alert to actions

Surroundings became more dangerous

The more familar I became with strangers

And the more I focused on they strangeness

Strain with this, but I guess that's out of choice

He pinned me down, gave me the right to shut up after I used my voice

Well guess what? Fuck You

And that's all I wanted to say

Go tell your kids about my crew and the next venue we're gonna play

Stressed out, but that's nothing new, everyone is

And it's gonna stay that way cause nowadays that's how we're runnin' shit

Punishment: that's just another fancy way to say it's time to wake up

Fuck your fame, I'm trying to build some game for my man Jacob

That's my son

Some say spittin' image

Same smile, different grimace

When grown, I hope he's never prone to heed the limits

Of life. Life: probably the biggest word I've ever said

That says a lot, cause there's a whole lot of words inside my head

Death almost a quarter deep, still ain't learned to cope

I struggle to see the horizon while I'm hanging from this rope
