Bad Habits 02:53
Stop, ya done locked up now Took a wrong turn somewhere go back around Now I'm shakin', my hearts racin' I got a couple bad habits locked up in the basement Took a Tesla for a quick joy ride We didn't stop for hours now we kickin' it in overdrive Empathetic, numb, electric Seems to me that we are always Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Feels good to be bad But we been there and we done that Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Let's talk, baby I don't bite Claim to be alright despite internal moral fist fights Deviate, start with a clean slate, Better get it straight, moderate, or else Checkmate! Stop, and unclench our jaws There's a monster in the mirror with some big sharp claws Got us wrong, we're not outlaws Ya can't perform a search without a probable cause Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Feels good to be bad But we been there and we done that Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Feels good to be bad But we been there and we done that Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits Always lettin' our sins turn into bad habits

Rat Fight 03:54
Feel like I been hibernating I been waiting and watching And listening, stop talking, start walking We got somewhere to be Places to see and brand new faces to meet Yeah, there's a place down the street Couple blocks and a mind frame away where my homeboy stays Introduced me to the groove, unglued me, renewed me, improved me I think I've been enlightened Yeah, I might have Cuz this melody is tight and it goes (Na na na na) I got to go Where the wind blew, yesterday I got to go Wherever, now or never, yeah whatever I got to go To Jupiter on Mother's Day I got to go To battle with a manta ray I got to go To blue skies and hazel eyes and Sunday mornings I got to go Where music feeds the honey bees I got to go Where the sun sets out in the east I got to go Wherever this feather carries me It's days like these, make me believe There's magic everywhere around me It's underneath my skin and leaves me when I breathe And in my dreams I'm made of music, so I use it Spread my message, tell my truth It's just for you, wrapped up in ribbons In a gift box filled with rhythm Can you dig it? Can't you feel it in your bones? It feels like home, so cozy, warm and toasty Yeah this bass controls me, yeah our flow be Building slowly, listen closely I got a lot to say, sometimes I write it into poetry And then we write a beat to tell the story like it's meant to be The music's like a friend to me, it's energy that takes me where I got to go I got to go Where the skyline's a painted picture I got to go Where it's Saturday night all the time I got to go To Neverland every other weekend I got to go Cuz I got payed vacation time I got to go Where the rhythm drips like syrup down my fingertips I got to go Where ideas shine like diamonds, every single one I got to go Next Tuesday, see a show with Lucy I got to go Yeah I just payed rent yesterday I got to go To the party, it's at Marty's, starts at 7 I got to go Where tomorrow never is today I got to go Where the streets are paved with happy endings I got to go Where angels take their summer break I got to go To meet this guy I know down by the redline I got to go And chase that salty summer breeze I got to go Where heartbreak tastes like cotton candy I got to go Where the beat feels like it's taking me

Was a time when the grass was greener And a place where the streets were cleaner somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention remember when I crashed the Monte Carlo? Down the shoulder so slow to Cicero Met a couple fellow fiends in the ghetto (can you fix this?) fixed us right up for a debt that we still owe (pay you right back) somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention somewhere out in another dimension we were never really paying attention

Light up a cigarette, yeah I’m a ticking time bomb Red flags going up, yeah police on my front lawn Hey jack, get off my back What is it I have that you want? Stray cats chasing rats off Pulaski and Belmont Homemade Hand Grenades, just run away to San Juan Sunbathed, lost in space, I’ll board a train and then I’m gone Self made, let’s play charades and let me guess where you come from, Broken glass, sassafras, if no one asks just play along Homemade hand grenades, just run away to San Juan Sunbathed, lost in space, I’ll board a train and then I’m gone Light up a cigarette, yeah I’m a ticking time bomb Red flags going up, yeah police on my front lawn Hey jack, get off my back What is it I have that you want? Stray cats chasing rats off Pulaski and Belmont Homemade Hand Grenades, just run away to San Juan Sunbathed, lost in space, I’ll board a train and then I’m gone Self made, let’s play charades and let me guess where you come from, Broken glass, sassafras, if no one asks just play along Homemade hand grenades, just run away to San Juan Sunbathed, lost in space, I’ll board a train and then I’m gone

Hallways 03:43
The judges fall deaf and the leaders, they're all blind That god of yours ain't no father of mine, Hear no, see no, speak no truth Ya better start runnin' cuz they're comin' for you We kicked, we screamed, we cried, we bled, Didn't hear what I thought you said, Did you ever say their names out loud? Did you ever say their Did you ever Did you ever Did you ever say their names out loud? Did you ever say their Did you ever Did you ever Just like gypsies, sold our souls for dimes Funny how that was twice their value at the time Hear no, see no, speak no lies Lowest of the low and the highest of the high We ran, we hid, until sunrise And didn't really care if we lived or died Did you ever say their names out loud? Did you ever say their Did you ever Did you ever Did you ever say their names out loud? Did you ever say their Did you ever Did you ever Did you ever Did you ever ever Hear, no, see no, speak no negativity 'Horror Show's a nice way too describe what we were livin' We hit the track, play back, rewind Can't take it back but we can do it right this time Did you ever say their names out loud? Did you ever say their Did you ever Did you ever Did you ever say their names out loud? Did you ever say their Did you ever Did you ever

Here in the city it's graveyard season Woke up late and I'm stressed for no reason Don't let the dark in it's so deceiving Open the windows let's let the breeze in! Easy to get stuck in graveyard season To get stuck in graveyard season To get stuck in graveyard season To get stuck in this graveyard Things could be much worse, yeah they really could Cardboard cut outs, we were livin' gritty Beggars in the streets yeah, sittin' pretty Warriors in the depths of the city (x2) Easy to get stuck in graveyard season To get stuck in graveyard season To get stuck in graveyard season To get stuck in this graveyard

Alright, alright, hello. We're a city block's worth of news and a dollars worth of sense. What do you think you'd find in Satan's lunchbox? Who wrote the story that we're all a little part of? Do we have a purpose, or are we just here for fun? Satan's got a lunchbox, inside he's got a handgun. We ran, he walked The door's unlocked He aimed and cocked Bullseye, good shot! (x4) What do you think you'd find at the center of the sun? Could be molten lava or a world we'd only dreamed of. So is it all a game? Because I feel like you been playin' dumb. I'll just throw some punches - not allowed to own a handgun. Doesn't matter - could be anybody. What's the matter? Don't you find it funny? Look, they've scattered - everybody's running. Hurry, faster, can't fight back so We ran, he walked The door's unlocked He aimed and cocked Bullseye, good shot! (x4)
