Scapegoat Wax

Sleeping on the steps
Waiting for the day to begin
Cause I know where you're at
But I swear one day you're coming back, my friend
I hope we meet in the end
And I've been thinking 'bout
What I'm gonna do with today
Cause you took the long way home
But I can't foresee me going anyplace, anyplace

Move along is all you heard
I'm sure you're fine right there
But if you're bad with words
We have a space to share, a space to share

Waiting on the porch
Watching ugly children go by
Remember the broken shit we used to fix
I wish that you could write me a letter tonight
And all I wanna do is see you for a minute or two

Move along is all you heard
I'm sure you're fine right there
But if you're bad with words
We have a space to share, a space to share
To share, oh yeah

And making all the sense is everything I don't believe
I can't compete with this absence
My chest has found it hard to breathe
Since you decided to leave
And I've been thinking 'bout
What I'm gonna do with this day
Cause you took the long way home
And now it seems you're not even on your way, on your way

Move along is all you heard
I'm sure you're fine right there
But if you're bad with words
We have a space to share, a space to share

{And all I wanna do}
Move along is all you heard
{Is see you for a minute or two}
I'm sure you're fine right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We have a space to share
And I've been thinking 'bout what I'm gonna do with today

[you dont like me
well i don't like you either
but we could go home]
she talks in paragraph
rambling paragraphs
about her work on a sunday
she wants my autograph
but she dont wanna ask
she's gonna get it one day
faces faces faces
i didnt want it to happen this way
everything you die for
i wouldnt live for
but thats ok

chorus-
i rained on the princess parade
she's just a beautiful girl
who was raised in the shade
freash meat and the blood is so sweet
and she knows, she knows

i cant recall
a word she said at all
i just wanted to make her feel like something
that she wasnt [she never was]
i cant recall
a move she made at all
i just wanted to make her feel like something
that she wasnt [she never was]

chorus

braggadocio baby doll
standing against a wall
she used to model for mervyns
i think she's a counterfeit
but i'd be on top of it
if she thought that i deserved it
wasted wasted wasted
poisonous games she loves to play
everything you die for
i wouldnt live for
but thats ok

chorus

He was a kid,
who lived in a box
Stuck inbetween
a win and a loss
He made up his mind,
he wanted to rock
He sweat 'til he bled,
the city was hot

Off of the page,
he wrote in his head
Awfully strange,
the things that he said
No time to waste,
he's rotting in bed
But all through his pain,
he was laughing instead

7,8, 9, 10, 11 P.M.
He's bumpin' to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop until he sees the stars
12, 1, 2, 3, 4 A.M.
And when the night's over, he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop 'til he sees the stars
He's a lost cause

He was a kid,
who lived by the wheat
Who laid while awake,
but slept on his feet
He put on a show,
his stage was the street
He walked like a dog,
the city would see

Off of the page,
he wrote in his head
Awfully strange,
the things that he said
No time to waste,
he's rotting in bed
But all through his rage,
he was laughing instead

7,8, 9, 10, 11 P.M.
He's bumpin' to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop until he sees the stars
12, 1, 2, 3, 4 A.M.
And when the night's over, he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop 'til he sees the stars
He's a lost cause

Can't find out find out from someone else
The moves you make don't move themselves
You can't have everything tomorrrow, no, no, no
So when you wake up with the shakes
And hold your breath for your big break
Think you've finally lost your place,
It's just waitng for you.

'Come on
7,8, 9, 10, 11 P.M.
He's bumpin' to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop until he sees the stars
12, 1, 2, 3, 4 A.M.
And when the night's over, gonna do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop
He's a lost cause

'Come on
7,8, 9, 10, 11 P.M.
He's bumpin' to the beat without a single friend
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop until he sees the stars
12, 1, 2, 3, 4 A.M.
And when the night's over, he will do it again
Solo on the floor and it just don't stop 'til he sees the stars
He's a lost cause

Lost cause (4x)
That boy's a lost cause
Lost cause (3x clear and then fades)

Yeah, yeah,
9, 10, 11, 12,
Yo, usually,
We do it like this,
The Suspects
Scapegoat Wax
Uh, coming through like a T-Rex,
Check, check,
Yo yo

MCs smack their heads on brick
And publicly pelt themselves with rocks
And put their feet on dry ice blocks
This one's the knock, knock knocking
On your nose bridge
Poking at your eyelids
With the soul kids from where I live
Everybody's smiling big as Regis
And time froze like fetus
A guitarist took a time machine and cloned baby Jesus
And made an MC like me (what, what?)
Who came to conquer everything
Within the breeze, man, woman, disease - please,
You looking at me in a dumb and funny way
But come to find out your crew
Was some 12-year-old runaways
Mentally I am of the 23rd Century
Technically microphones and drums are my specialty
Cloud 9 to catch the scent of my rhymes
I'm stomping through the streets rapping (Ooh, ah, ooh, ah)
While you're marching for dimes
It's like a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon
Sports trivia: Who's head coach is Bobby Cremins?
Georgia Tech Yellowjackets
Iller by the millisecond
I be kicking like Tekken
Check out my record collection
It's kind of fat
This is why I rap like that
I be oozing out the funk
Like a case of the clap

CHORUS:
{Here is something you can't run from
So stop look and listen
You take your position
We do it like this son
The illest prescription
A lyric incision
Into you eardrum} -- X2

THE SUSPECTS:
Natural mystic blowing through the air
Hey is you smoking something there?
Contraire, mon frere
Cause in my verbal contract to give niggas instant convulsions
Experience eternal seizures
Tongue got you chokin'
Rollin' down your throat, and...
And leaving you to believe
That planet Earth gave birth to a deadly disease
We'll never freeze
Even at the point of a handgun
Swallow the bullets and spit 'em back random
Holdin' motherfuckers for ransom
Thinkin' they handsome
Stick they family for all they own
And some
My life is based on tantrum
Is that why yo ass be steady rappin'?
You know
Fuck a platinum
Finagler philosophy
Y'all player haters
Ain't understanding my verbocity
Constantly
Off lots of weed
It costs to be
The boss don't take a loss
No double-cross hater back off of me
Feel animosity
In high velocity
Both prodigies

CHORUS

Your ears are rung
My noise is like a thousand voices
Until I'm done
My words will shine through all distortion
I'm here intact
We're gonna get this thing together
And when it cracks
I'm gonna bet you that
You and everybody else surrenders

CHORUS

Take all our friends
Take the life we're growing used to
And just send us away
As the clock ticks slowly
Moves through every hour of every day
Are we okay
Are we alive
Oh, maybe it's just fine
And we need nothing to survive

Oo, whoa, oh

Chorus:
I'm feeling us breath in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence
And we're gone

Take all the things that made inclomplete back there
And we'll throw them to the wind
And only count what lies ahead
See it's not the way I planned
Where do we stand
Are we alone
Oh, maybe it's just fine
And we have no where left to go

Oo, whoa, oh

Chorus

I'm feeling us breathing in perfect balance again
Oh, so much is said in this perfect silence

I hear your last breath, Bobby
With both eyes closed, come quietly
I hear your last breath, Bobby
Yeah

Chorus 2x

And we're gone

Uh, things could get better,
i guess
what do you think
you to
uh huh yeah yeah yeah
oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
uh huh
check this out
heres how i did it
spend my last 5 dollars at burger king
i have no money have no nothing
which makes it impossible for me
to take care of my dog properly (domino)
i played in a game of basket ball
at the park with some guys and my man johnny zee
at fat older man jumped on my back
and flaired up an old high school injury
im still tripping off my ex-girlfriend
we broke up three years ago last week
i still write songs about that girl
but she has moved on very nicely
i wreked my car i ride my bike
but some asshold came and stole my seat
he didnt give a damn about my life
so now i only travel by my feet

everything is almost fine
ive just got a few of these frustrations
and they are weighing on my mind
everything is almost fine
ive just got a few of these frustrations
and they are weighing on my mind

the mets aint won since eighty-six
the dolphins lost by fifty-five
i had to go to mario
my little sister had to drive
i give myself these wack haircuts
so its all uneven in the back
i cant afford a barbershop
so now i only wear a hat
my label president says im fat
and i need to lose like fourty pounds
and get some style in my wardrobe
and maybe audition for o-town

its getting close to being almost fine
but when i think i pull ahead im really falling way behind
what was the straight line turned into a fork in a road
and i took the wrong route and i though you should know

everything is almost fine
ive just got a few of these frustrations
and they are weighing on my mind
everything is almost fine
ive just got a few of these frustrations
and they are weighing on my mind

but at least i dont have lobster hands like those people i saw on jerry springer
and at least i can still drink gusto with true liners
yo
my name is marty james alais scapegoat willie
yeah
here we go
here we go
yo
mario

everything is almost fine
ive just got a few of these frustrations
and they are weighing on my mind
but its almost fine
everything is almost fine
ive just got a few of these frustrations
and they are weighing on my mind

My autograph isn't worth a paper bag.
It's not me you're looking for.
It's nothing more.

Do you ever smile in pain?
Like when a needle breaks your vain.
When everything is rushing to the shore.

All I have is my radio.
And both my friends are scared.
All I have are these mirrors that just stare.

I made you sing.
Like you never thought you'd scream.
Everything is in key now let me soar.

Do you ever smile in pain?
Like when a razor breaks your vain.
When everything is rushing to the floor.

All I have is my radio.
And both my friends are scared.
All I have are these mirrors that just stare.

You said you loved everything.
You said the blue skies would sing.
You said I made you complete.
But baby theres only half of me.

All I have is my radio.
And both my friends are scared.
All I have are these mirrors that just stare.

All I have is my radio.
And both my friends are scared.
All I have are these mirrors that just stare.

Do you ever smile in pain?
Do you ever smile in pain?
