Free Or Dead
Atmosphere
So here I am,
Tryin' to be the man, right?
Using my gun to see at night,
Sleeping hurt my flashlight
In the afterlife, I hope the AC works
So while I wait, well I'ma pass out and taste this curb
And she attacked with flirts, smacked my nerves,
Wearin' that black skirt
Got my nature so hard, it made my back hurt
I cracked a smirk 'cause I was dumb and drunk
She gave a wink and a smile, and dropped a quarter in my cup
Man, people are kinda odd, so I keep my eyebrow raised
I only hear the words for what they mean, know what I mean?
And I do believe in god 'cause I keep comin' across
All these fine women with low self-esteem, you know what I mean
I've got attention deficit
I've got the bedroom eyes
I've got the storms in my head
I've got my telephone voice
I've got to make a decision if weather I live or die
I'd rather just run 'cause either way, it's one hell of a choice
Yo, yo,
[Chorus]
My car is like my own personal universe
She's my drug, and it only takes twelve bucks to fill her up
But in my galaxy, there ain't no room for Earth
So I'm leaving it 'cause I can feel the oil pressure building up
Turning over the ignition of my solar system
Check the gauges, push in the tape,
Put my foot on the brake
Shift existence, light my cigarette, and take it state to state
Until I crash into my fate
Now, giving back everything they gave me [not a damn thing]
It would take more than a good DJ to save me [I'm not dancing]
I can't seem to make up my bed, much less my mind,
So I'ma take another puff to my head and press rewind
I wish this car had cruise control so I could rest my legs
I've got this itch to prove my soul and test my fate
Doing hunny in a sixty-five, got stopped by a copper,
Caught, spotted and radared by a chopper
Wisconsin style: over the limit by forty miles
Why'd she smile? 'Cause I ain't been around here for a long while
Grabbed my paper, gave her thing, have a nice day
Yo, word of advice, trade the donuts in and get some rice cakes
Back to my travels, running from my shadows,
Some hitch-hikers and bikers, honkin' my horn, harassing the cattle
Bare back stickin' to the seat, sweat dripping from the heat
Diggin' through a cooler of gruel, I'm looking for something to eat
Yo, there's a Hardee's at the next spot
Don't wanna, but I need ta
'Cause I'm cravin' for something
To chase the taste of this tequila
[Talking]
Uh, Yeah yeah, you guys got the value meal?
Yeah can you guys put some barbecue sauce [I want french fries] I-I want a
[chocolate shake] I want onion bun yo I want the chicken pebbles Nah Nah, onion bun, onion bun [double cheeseburger]
Onion rings[extra pork] word up..
Can you super-size that? [Yeah]
[Yo girl] Yo, you got kind of a pretty voice
[Yo girl] Yo, what time you get off work? [Ey-yo girl]
Ninety east, towards Chicago
On my way to Cincinnati
And I will never let them catch me
And I will never make them happy
Hide your wives and your daughters when I'm passing through the hometown
Casting line into the water, catch goldfish out your bowl now
I'm as cool as the cat that came to school just for lunch
I'm the rebel, pissin' in to public pool just for fun
I speed in the sun
Everyone is speakin' in tongues
Find the talk radio station
Yo, turn it up so it bumps
Don't cry, girl, I'm out and I'ma make my way east
'Cause everyone in my world is taking my peace
I need release and I don't believe I'ma find it between your legs
Yo, I'm just joking, I'm only going to the corner to get some eggs
So while she starts makin' the coffee, I toss my bags in the back seat
And I can remember it all like it must'a happened last week
Sometimes I stop to think of all the money I've spent
How I'd rather live in a tent than bust my ass to pay the rent
But I'm eager to pay my dues, and I'm eager to pay the toll booth
And I've agreed to sing the blues ever since the day I broke loose
Just like a blind-folded child walkin' throw the toy store
Voice not even aware that the world is my oyster
[Chorus]x2
