interlude
(jasper vox)
You know its rough had enough of holding a
cup full of spare change
doctors diagnosed me as a
dome full of bad brains.
So, toe to toe with employers
cos they're telling me no.
Hooked on prescription drugs
so i stay broke-ah, I'd run away
but you cant run away from
yourself or your health so
I deal with the cards that I'm dealt
tweetle-leet-leet, the morning bird's sounding sweet
though I sleep on the streets
I have a feeling I'm free of societies'
hand picked hypocricy
mercy mercy-- dont give a damn for me
mercy mercy-- now what am i gonna eat?
peek through the window of a restaurant,
people eating caviar, fifty bucks on lunch,
a hand me down meal full of God knows what
put it away in my gut
quick and then I wonder why I'm sick
brick for brick I know the city like my handprint
just a pit in the gutter
of a skid row ditch but I'll survive
the pain lets me know that I'm alive
but I still feel that
this aint livin'
(g. love and jasper)
check my beat, dig my rhythm,
me belly full, but me hungry so me fill it.
once I start gaining the taxes start taking,
cos the government's perfected funk-fakin'
breaking me down striking me down
what goes around comes around but
I keep rising, see'n through the lies and
the surprise comes when I see myself, the music I felt, I'm on
this aint livin
this aint livin
oh no
