the way downhill, is easier 2 ride than it seems
matter of fact , a pattern develops by the 3rd strike
along the line sinkin in despondency,
taking notes, for future reference needs
-
entropic, psychotropic
a little paranoid, & misanthropic
=
uneasy on the i's, formless funktion on dissplay
convolution in the air, uneven surface 2 survey
alternating strokes, 4 nitpicking folk
played in style, under the thumb
-
in closing remarks, given signal 2 comply
end credits, dragging like a flat tire
major spin, deceptive bends 4 a stint
losing sight , just in time 2 miss the call.

EM3W - Down Low
03:10
|
|||
|
busting @ the seams, pushing str8 ahead
playing the #'s, @ home on the range
right here, wandering mind
looking around, 4 the way out
-
swing & shout b4 the music stops
glass half empty , fooled by the last call
no more nice time, got 2 move on
trying 2 get a grip, on the down low
=
weak ends @ a lost 4 words
wouldn't wish this on ur worst frenemy
coming undone, inside information
sticking to your gums, nobody knows
-
lose the... , fugly shelf
no 1 likes it, even 4 a minute
sober up,
or cover us
=
don't tell, who cares 2 know
if u stay, fair enuff
2 keep it up, just let it go
holding on 2 stand the toll

mining on the classics,
paying due respect,
2 the not so distant past.
connecting some loose ends.
-
street rhymes,
ringing in my ears,
back 2 where it all began
from the top sinking in…
=
everything you’ll ever need
make ur move & seal the deal
mastermind the br8kout strike
check the decks, don’t let it slide
-
nothing’s safe,
2 many choices on dissplay
letting loose, ready 2 unwind
ez target out 4 a run, on the brink

@ a glance, not a pretty sight
silent treatment driving me nuts
quit beating around the bush?
set me str8 and br8k it through !
-
the other remains blameless
so as not 2 b so xtreme
head down, i’s closed
wake up call, off the grid
=
useless advice,
ez does it wishing well
picking up the pieces, on the fence
pay the tax, 2 care less
-
feel the heat, ( when it hits )
interfacing on demand
boy toys with the girl
say no more, i won’t tell - b my guest!
=
on a daze, under that guise
many ways 2 x the line
can’t stand the pressure,
out of steem 2 take it back
-
through the hoops with the linx,
off the stage & on the brink
2 late… 2 run 4 cover
c it c oming 4 a price,

show me the way
through some common sense
@ the top voicing concern
not just, another turn
-
changing the subject,
given the 3rd degree
fallin’ flat on your on ur feet
7th heaven under the skin
=
question the answers
b4 ending on a sour note
what’s the point of the tale
if there’s 3 ways 2 unfold.
-
on shaky ground
after taking a closer look
always on the hook
substitutions, 2 keep it cool
=
going the distance
disrupting the state of affairs
1 time 2 many by choice
taking away the chance
-
2 late 2 stop the scheme
is hard 2 4get how we got here
minor oversight major compromise
nothing left …2 say
=
leading by example
whatever it takes
setting the bar 2 high
2 steps behind what’s next
-
going with the flow
there’s no turning back the page
missing the call @ play
hit & run way off base

EM3W - Chill Pills
03:34
|
|||
|
let’s go, turn that ringer off
monday mourning, crack of dawn
shave the hair, draw the line
let’s get reeling, is that bad!
-
talk is cheap
out 4 a stroll
something’s missing
yet who cares 2 know!
=
popping the chill pills, 2 drift 4 awhile
sell me all the flavors money can buy
popping the chill pills, as prescribed
help me make it through this time lapse
-
give it up, screens off
tuesday 4play, on short supply
running low, painting’s peeling dry,
hanging tight, main drag on the draft
=
best shot,
on the down low
can’t get enuff
when the heat is on
-
pop, pop; popping the chill pills ( 2 )
stock & stuff, the price is right
cold sweat, tingling the spine

loop's qool - Lucky 13
03:45
|
|||
|
sublime xcursions, truth or dare 2 dig in
on the stream, leading me, let’s trace the wave 2 infinity
-
striving 2 keep the pace, up & down or sideways
x-ing the line, just 2 taste, short & sweet maiden lane.
=
lucky 13, give it a shot; then wait & c
360 d’grees, everything counts; 2 make ends meet
-
smooth operator, transition in style
getting a grip on the groove, precise move 2 fill the gap
xhausting the options, drenched in cold sweat
winding down after the ride, wake up! right on time 2 get by
=
bits & pieces fallin’ apart, sortin’ out the mix 2 match how 2 make sense of this collusion course, shapin’ up without a plot.

u can’t hardly wait …2 step away
& i don’t really know what 2 say
how bad could it possibly get?
-
feeling so sick and run down
is ez 2 tell u no longer want 2 b around
=
co-dependent, far 2 long
it’s hard 2 face it, 4 what is worth
there’s no need, we had enuff
-
let’s find some way out of here
how many more lies will it take 2 get ur fill
=
uneven split, call it quits
seems fair enuff, since the thrill is gone
just seal the deal
-
what’s the point in turning back?
with nothing left behind!
the answer is hiding in plain sight
=
the flood is coming, across the fence
the escape clause is there 2 bail
this is not the time… 2 let it slip again

|
as long as they pull the strings, in 7th heaven
nothing 2 fret about, only good vibrations
shakin’ the 3, going through insertions
fever pitch, on 5th gear … fun da mental
-
in disregard, 4 common sense
faking it 2 keep the window dressed
across the fence, lost in the maze
restraining order, all the way
=
silent witless, on uneven plane
giving what it takes, up 2 the neck
missing pieces, rated fail safe
1 last try, b4 the bail
=
figures and #’s, playing tricks
taking sides, on a flip of the switch
hitting the stride, without missing a bit
working ur way out, on 2 another trip.

EM3W - Keep Ur Distance
04:04
|
|||
|
wrong turns from the get go
waking up always takes a toll
could be worse
plain 2 c, can barely stand it
coming out
across the board
-
won’t br8k the bank
trading places, moving along
the line will crawl, send a postcard
ladies in waiting 4 ur shot
who’s 2 tell when is enuff!
=
keep ur distance
from the center, of the storm
1st dib scratch under the surface
time is running out, nonstop
-
not a pretty sight compared 2 last nite
i’ll remember not 2
push it through
get away b4 given take
off the beaten path
up 2 some other game
cc 2016 state of denial songs - ascap

12. |
||||
|
slowly taking shape, disfunction in2 form
ticking time, present tense through it all
ready 2 meet ur maker, or do u wish not 2 know
sometimes the mystery, reveals itself uncut.
-
pieces of 8, have it ur way
slice or dice… bits of the pie
c who gets …
2 take the cake.
=
fearless freaktion fit, out of hand without a hint
lacking restrain, hi 5’vers in a nut shell
quiet discontent, willingly able 2 show & tell
deceptively simple scheme, blurring the lines through ur fears
-
aware of the fact, split team playing tag
biting ur nails, 4gotten mistakes,
screaming match then silent patch
2 keep it real, given the case, take the chance.

|
keep ur counsel & know ur place
2 stay in denial, won’t br8k the spell
4 coming 2 terms, is not 2 late
why stand still ?, waiting 4 another spin
-
trying 2 stay afloat , minding the undertow
is there a difference?, only time will tell
=
empty pages, 4 others 2 write
about the things 2 come, that’ll never pass
look the other way, 2 miss the spot
flat tire , & no 1 around
-
lacking in perspective, talking a good game
is there a difference?, only time will tell.
=
uninvited guess, in consensual nonsense
into the void, rushing 2 get in
pointless process, through the motions
pissed & quiet, throbbing with contempt
-
our lips r sealed, keeping up the plot; the show must go on
is there a difference? only time will tell
=
across the wire, loud & clear
2 fast 2 think it over, some fine print
sudden stop, 4 change of direction
uneven response, 2 the siren’s call
-
soon 2 realize, u r always the 1, 2 let it slide
does it make a difference? only time will tell.
