Lyrics

Speak Volumes

[Hook]

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile...

[Verse 1]

Essence erodes into mess you believed to be real

Listen to Hendrix played backwards on reel to reel

This world lost its feel when art lost its grasp

Should have paid attention in class kid

Fed off tit of deceased and still a bastard

Asked for it all and received a swift nil

Built on the ashes you burned

Placed in urns

Along with the lessons I've learned

Amount to paradox

I am where you were

Before you was my victim

Breath clorox while I rock social unconscious like Shirley Chisholm

[Hook]

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile...

[Verse 2]

Lost my rhythm within context of diseased cortex

Search for more sex and violence

Was met with ill silence

Childhood idols fell hard like third world tyrants

Reviving center core

Who these you adore?

Lost in urban lore

Cleanse perception's doors

Respect that film noir

Existence?

I enter/exit poor

[Hook]

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile, speak volumes on this child

False facades grin upon my last smile

Spit concrete bile...

[Bridge]

Voyeur's voyage considers six the blessed

Minus 55 in thousands

Two scream for fiction as they laughing

33rd degree, new continents we mapping

Ask what happened as I bleed my vocal orifice

We breathe too much nonsense

We breathe too much nonsense

[Outro]

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo I'm asking what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo I'm asking what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo what the fuck happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo I'm asking what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

MC's, what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

DJ's, What happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

B-Boys, what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Graph artists, what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo my culture, what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo what the fuck happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo I'm asking what happened?

33rd degree, new continents I'm mapping

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

Yo what happened?

The fuck happened?
