Chin High

[Verse 1]

Fuel injection on a blank page: my mental splurges and emerges from nuttin'

I'm the forgotten

The mule that got caught with two keys in his bottom

We don't know him, we don't owe him

Poetic justice with no poem

I study my art 'til I'm blue in the face

No time to waste, my heart's on a plate

The soul and life force dancing on the timelines

These ain't rhymes no more, they're straight sermons

For urban, suburban Babylonian contours

Raw raw roll up raw, songs of war

To drown out the po-lice and they tracking device

Brehs better mind how they mangle their ice

'Cause they transmit and receive

Best know the beast will listen

Know they'll glisten as they strip your assets

How vexed thou art, but you are playing a part

In your own damn demise - you money-grips need to get more wise

[Chorus]

Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it

The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it

Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it

The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it

Chin high, puffed chest, we step right to it

The choice is there ain't no choice but to pursue it

Pursue it, pursue it

[Verse 2]

My ital views come from this ital brew

Something about these struggles and the things they do

The peace-bringers, quote-key-quote singers

Dead ringers for nothing in this marketplace

Could we target grace? A new-tical movement

Bringing improvement to mind and soul

Life's a bitch, we tired of the bitching

Them cheap escape routes got me here twitching

How much money must we waste 'til we see

Them self-made hells that we make for ourself

Goodbye old me, say hello to the new

Please Lord Jesus, help me get through

Can I be a man for my baby boo

What's a grown man supposedly to do

When the world at large be scared of the truth

I got good reason to be uncouth

Like a big wide hole in the top of your roof

And I really don't got much nice to say

When day-to-day is pure bills to pay

So how am I supposed to change my ways

When this world at large seems to lead me astray?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Transfixed by an apparent

Will and a way

To seize the day

Accept us to social fray

Most aware of what the media push

There goes the crooks who fiddle the books and

Run scot-free 'cause money reigns supreme

In the gene of the fiends

Chemical warfare

Biological warfare

That is never seen

Man and machine

Getting into things while

Some claim road and some claim blame

Oblivious to the time that we're living in

The misled mislead

Afflicted by the greed

Government man keep fighting down the weed

While they boost up the booze, the Prozac and methadone

Use the taxpayer's money to develop they clones

Misinformation

Mass sedation

Nations baited for spiritual rapings

[Chorus  x 2]
