lyrics

I was cleaning out the basement
Trying to make the studio space more sacred
Opened up a box, inside was a psychological evaluation
From back when I was three, already on the road to medication
And they wonder why I like the libations
Maybe it’s the way I was raised up to deal with my nature
Wait
It’s not worth having the debate
I just hope that I can pay
Attention long enough to finish up the mix tape
Cuz the herb and Concerta mix great
Stick to the cerveza and the bourbon or I’m sick the next day
Spit the best way I know how
Straight from the soul, so right now
Go write how you got a flow tighter
Than the next schmo in the crowd
I’m happy just to float on my cloud
And I won’t come down
Taking comfort in self loathing and doubt
Attached to both the bad and the good
Aspects of my childhood
My smile shouldn’t confuse you
If I love you then I’ll prob’ly abuse you
But only in the ways that I’m used to

Conditioning

And you can take a pill to change it
Anafranil to Xanax but it still stays buried in the basement
Deep down underneath the faces
Of cartoon characters and traces of top 40 playlists
Ronald Reagan
Exploding spaceships
Adults with eroding patience
This is when you chose to say shit
About yourself that you put up on your shelf
With your photo pages
Stowed away in this digital age of invisible cages
Enslaved individuals crave validation
Derived from a child’s deprivation
And it takes elevation
To see it’s all founded upon a foundation
Of conditioning
