CAUSE I SAID SO


Each quip skips needles over the record of chaos
I stay deep, nightmares creep in regret’s breadth of a seance
Hibernate to wide awake, a rime array is spoken
I nod to the next god, hide away the token
I’m moving at the speed of ink with the sound of thought
Reflecting off of satellites when I’m sounding off
This is for the people I began with who gave up
But these are the dreams that my lyrics are made of
Too many make the music that is numbing your brain
You’ve burned long enough, I shall summon the rain
Dripping with ridiculous prose, flow’s thick
Rhythm discipline, I’m gripping the road, it’s so sick
That I’m given to deliver commodes, strip and corrode
Redefining the limits of dope, ripping a show
When I’m riming, crooked cadet whooping your set
Said a wise king, put it to rest, good as it gets

It’s S for the secrets that die of old age
AN for the answers making this soul blaze
KO for the pugilism, brewed with the rhythm
FA, why? Cause I Said So

Penelope Cruz equals Salma Hayek minus
Talent, body, and sensuality .words dent the galaxy
Stems coral planets for the tip of a pen
Then the flow pours, bringing listeners zen
No war, so fourth and fifth stitches build to the ninth
Faded hopes stay jagged, still in the mind
I pray to fall asleep so I can dream of limits
But the words won’t stop and the demons grimace
I need exhibit happiness, but evil is easy to write
Medium sized meteorites, media hype
Seems those happy meals aren’t feeding you right
Let’s sell the movement complete with no CD inside
I mean, does it really matter if there’s any substance?
Let’s play lemmings, watch out buddies jump in
Lumped in a game of whack a molehill to mountaintop
The other shoe is bound to drop

It’s S for the secrets that die of old age
AN for the answers making this soul blaze
KO for the pugilism, brewed with the rhythm
FA, why? Cause I Said So
