[Verse 1]

As I walk through this cluster

Of people that I look upon as buster

I continue to keep one of my feet in this gutter

Maybe that's my way of puttin' the day in place

Ain't too much okay, you can tell by how I wear this face

But don't you worry, this is my journey

Fellas keep your fists up, women keep it dirty

Fly little birdy as I walk through this puzzle

Puttin' it together makin' sure the laugh stays muffled

They congregated on the corner of the block

Tryin' to come up with the plan so they can close down the shop

Unsuccessfully all attempts oppressin' we

Testing we, bringing we one closer to the destiny

Yes it be the fool that burnt down the school

Tryin' to turn around the frown and make everything seem cool

Sittin' on my stool showing off my muscles

Caught between a chuckle and a "Fuck you" and "I love you"

They buckle and bend when I start up the binge

This structure can't handle the whole weight

They struggle 'cause they pride won't let 'em give in

So I'ma let 'em cuddle with they own self hate

[Chorus]

Come on, mash that dream into a telephone pole

Catch that beam, let it caress the soul

She don't need me, he don't need love

They won't see through, they caught a bad dub

I walk down the street in search of a home

A virtual me inside my head roams

Way too buzzed and the ride's too rough

Can't read what I wrote last night on the Bus

[Verse 2]

I put footprints across each inch

I've left fingerprints on the way that you listen

The women distract me, I give in, gladly

Stayed Vision, try not to stray from the mission

Holy cough drops, am I the next to get knocked off?

Played a game of hop-scotch and stepped on a soft spot

Can't fall off if you don't reach for the top

So I'm a stay below the radar and keep what I got

I don't sleep a lot. I don't like to dream

Shoved my thoughts in your mouth just to stifle your screams

If the light was green I'd put the Pedal to the metal

Put the flame to the kettle tryin' to keep the pain settled

Change up the level, turn the treble down

Dosey doe with the Angel and spin the Devil round

Gotta get a better sound out of this mis-matched system

Got a city full of heads, can't none catch the rhythm

So let me run through these motions some more

We Gon' see the light once I kick open this door

We Gon' be alright, DJ spin the breaks

So I can make Everybody embrace they self hate

[Chorus]

You can mash that dream into a telephone pole

Catch that beam let it caress the soul

She don't need me, he don't need love

They won't see through, they caught a bad dub
