[Intro]

Don't make politics out of what I say

It's just a something that you hear

It used to be what kept us goin'


[Sample]

What can you do?


[Verse 1]

Yo, yo, yo

Culminated case city limits to murky acreage

Johnny Carter infected commands all for some basic nit

Advanced style's slit deep into the custom mods

New York state of emergency: perilous politics and lies

Cling to the 'toon world, barren to the amateur

Cater to the linoleum motion and text damagers

I burn backlands back from playin' path war

Mushrooms in the blood while they're mega-pluggin some bad thought

I've come across laws fillin' stop, mind blinded

Might wake up naked at the fuck factory

Where the crabs are (woop! woop!)

Eyes up, blue people, tiptoe in your area

Quick with a long arm, wasn't designed to carry ya

More like the child act, cool in the schoolyard

3 o'clock my life bruises for which their jail loses

For nights you get import brass spillage

Black lung exhaust drunk thug love in a village

Not to get left is dust and bad X

Little girl trapped in a cage copying suicide threat

For us, actin our age means talkin' like sex

And the weatherman's too drugged out to tell you where the sun sets

Label rock that man sold out with street props

For grabbin' together old freestyles and radio drops

But when they pick up the album when a dead man walk

In fact A&Rs love it when the artist can't talk

People like us may confuse drugs crew

And revel in the static electric pain of paid dues

Who breath some pro blood and unrelated

I hover above the scrap trying to analyze and debate shit

But face the actual matter, your talk supported

Lay in the crease like evil in Steven Segal's forehead

This Sunday with my lazerface ways

Will stab a germ right in the heart of his motherfucking malaise like

[Hook: Sample & El-P]

Lazerface lazerface lazerface lazerface

Lazerface lazerface lazerface nights

Lazerface lazerface lazerface lazerface

Lazerface lazerface feelin all right

Lazerface lazerface lazerface lazerface

Lazerface lazerface lazerface days

Lazerface lazerface lazerface lazerface

Lazerface lazerface New York


[Bridge]

I got a born again lust for the neon funk

Bright lights burning my mind tonight

I got a fly ass crew with a taste for fame

Bright lights burning my mind tonight

I got a wizard on the break mutilate your cut

Bright lights burning my mind tonight

I got a hundred thousand kids who respect the game

Bright lights! Bright lights! ah!


[Interlude]

(Yo my name's Steve!

You're joining Spring Break, live from Beta Kappa Alpha...

I wanna hear El-P, he's really the best! YEAH!)


[Interlude: El-P]

You know what though

I been wonderin'

See I- I've come to realize me and you girl

We been holdin' onto this thing too tight see

Those blinking lights that we been staring at

I think they might be broken

I think we been waiting for something that isn't gonna come

And if that's the case... I'd rather cut my losses right now

Guess I'm afraid, afraid that if we don't stop

I think these lasers in my head might just spill out and fuckin' melt something

And when there's nothing left but smoldering rubble and glass

When everything is silent like a hovercraft filled with dead actors in zip lock bags

When nothing left but a faint echo of our own beautiful busted legs

Well all I can say is that I tried to warn you..

I tried to warn you..


[Sample]

What can you do?


[Verse 2]

Picture a virus of frat-o-matic with sponsors

Little girl better flash nipples or the cameras might wander

This is your shot, close-up moment (slash) facial splat

Thanks a lot, be safe, be young, be sex

Be at Woodstock, Kumbaya, be wet, belong, be raped

Be quiet bitch, oh my God controversy, MTV's concerned now

Big debate, ratings drop, thanks a lot

Back to spring break baby ratings hit top!

Ratings hit top!

Ratings hit top!

Ratings hit top!


[Outro]

Yo, it's your... centerfold dream

These lights can unfold to show you such a beautiful thing

Such a beautiful thing, such a beautiful thing

Centerfold dream

These lights can unfold to show you such a beautiful thing

Beautiful thing, such a beautiful thing
