Daddy never told me why
Says I'm better off if I just learn
He can see the red in my eyes
Silence kind of gives me the burn
If someone tells you something
How do you really know
You can't pick a 6 string
Just because you went to a show
There's something else that'll come around
It's all up to you to go and find out
Take what you believe
And I'll tell you it ain't true
You're missing some information
That can change its value
If someone tells you something
How do you really know
Take it all with a grain of salt
If I may be so bold
There's something else that'll come around
It's all up to you to go and find out

Spread Awareness

One guy's on the phone taking a video
While some other takes advantage of some poor young girl
Hey, he's got the proof, but what did he do?
He could have killed that son of a bitch, now the bastard runs loose
Let's go on the web and pass it around
We can spread awareness around this whole town
As I watch you scroll, you keep on scrolling down
Sounds like it's working, then it all got taken down
Some might say to you, she had it coming
Others might say, well, the guy did something
You can't have a gun, 'cause guns are just bad
Cops couldn't have come in time, they're busy killing the blacks
Let's go on the web and pass it around
We can spread awareness around this whole town
As I watch you scroll, you keep on scrolling down
Sounds like it's working, then it all got taken down
Let's defund the police, so the CHAZ can make history
Let's all spray paint Capitol Hill and destroy everything
We can all march and talk, that one girl was done so wrong
Show the world we made a change as someone dies on the sidewalk
Let's go on the web and pass it around
We can spread awareness around this whole town
As I watch you scroll, you keep on scrolling down
Sounds like it's working, then it all got taken down

Sinking Insecurity

I saw some girl take a photo of herself today
And she told everybody how her life is so great
Some guy told me that he owns his own truck
And I can't help but laugh with the pain in my gut
You can all lie to me, it's funny 'cause I know
Your life sucks as much as mine, you're faking what you show
Go along, put your makeup on, drop a thousand on that boat
Sinking insecurity, saying that you float
White girl gets her coffee from Starbucks or something like that
I see black men rolling in their Cadillacs
Mexicans got whole families, they're all splitting rent
But everybody's working hard for all them stimulus checks
You can all lie to me, it's funny 'cause I know
Your life sucks as much as mine, you're faking what you show
Go along, put your makeup on, drop a thousand on that boat
Sinking insecurity, saying that you float
Your garage is a storage unit, there ain't any room
Some work hard for nothing cleaning your house with a broom
That shopping car you left right there, it goes in the corral
Yet, you all seem distressed, so you all became pals
You can all lie to me, it's funny 'cause I know
Your life sucks as much as mine, you're faking what you show
Go along, put your makeup on, drop a thousand on that boat
Sinking insecurity, saying that you float

Painting My Way
03:19

Painting my way, my way through destruction
Someone's gotta get money somehow
Staying away, away from music
Someone's gotta get money somehow
The bars ain't open where I sleep
Can't get nothing, no tips for me
The whole worlds going crazy
And I keep walking down the street
Don't support revolutionaries
Music kind of lost some meaning
Rough times for the weakest minds
I'll sell you something you can't buy
What's the point of playing a tune?
When I think different then most of you
City slickers got the cold or the flu
Out on the edge I'm fine without you
Dreams don't come for the outlaw man
Who's breaking out of the bandwagon
Ya'll gotta follow the social norms
If you wanna get paid in a paperback form
I am here as a distraction
Living life can't get no traction
Sitting at home is the newest fashion
And I can see you lost your passion
Tell me I'm wrong, so you feel good
Metaphorically killing me like Fort Hood
Well I'll get lost in the mountainous woods
So say goodbye to me for good

Traveling Mind

I have seen my fair share of trouble in the world
I have been that trouble a few times before
But learning from the wise, you have to go out and find
What is not presented or planted in your mind
I have read some books and failed tests twice
Losing out on luck at the roll of the dice
One skateboard can give you rewards
I see the same in billiards
You learn how to fail before you tail
Those who have put in a little more time
Pack your bags and leave
Tell me how you feel, but what do you see?
I will always tell you, you can't judge me
You have never me someone like me
I can only show you what you need to know
But you are high and mighty and you won't even go
What if all these problems mean nothing at all
What if all you needed was some kind of call
Maybe for once to respect this land
Live on the road, sleep in a van
You learn how to fail before you tail
Those who have put in a little more time
Pack your bags and leave
Tell me how you feel, but what do you see?

Graveyard City

It's hard to live in Graveyard City
Zombies just be loafing all around
Dumping some couches or boxes by the road
I'm trying to find some other place that I can go
This country's turning ugly
Ugly I should know
What you find as beauty and man, it really shows
Stick me in Alaska
Put me in the mountain
Keep me from the desert
And city 'cause it hurts
It hurts to be around you
It's hard to be alone
Don't make me have neighbors
I'll never call that home
Fat boy can't stop eating
Skinny woman thinks she's him
I don't know that you're a woman 'cause you all turned to men
Everybody's racist, everybody's broke
China starts pandemics and that's the way she goes
Sometimes she goes, sometimes she don't
This time she did and that's the way she goes

Something You Can Learn
03:06

The sun never hides 'till a cloud comes by
And rains on parades or gives me some shade
Hot or humid, it don't really matter
It sucks no matter what, just something I gathered
Ho, well here you go
So, let's hear some more
No, you fear to know
There's something you can learn
The snow is too cold when you wear the wrong clothes
Try to find something more suitable
If an old man is full of wisdom
Why does it seem no one listens to him
Ho, well here you go
So, let's hear some more
No, you fear to know
There's something you can learn
The beer is cheap if you give it to me
You don't need nothing, no, this is for me
Here is my tip of 35 cents
I am broke and so are you, give to me and I'll pray for you
It's the least that I can do
Ho, well here you go
So, give me some more
No, you fear to know
There's nothing you have earned
Ho, well here you go
So, let's hear some more
No, you fear to know
There's something you can learn
