University of Dope

University of Dope
I hope I hope
that you don't give in
to dope to dope

it's a joke
it's summer
but it snows
it snows

sniff sniff

put on their make up
after they wake up
after they passed out
cause they blacked out

black
     black
           black
forget it all
   forget the pain
they feel cause they're plain
in actuality 
there's no personality

forget the pain

alcohol dumbs the brain
glassy eyed
better than what they used to
eyes cried 
    eyes cried
crying eyes

tears and lies 
lies 
    lies
fake it 
till you make it
put on the disguise
guise 
    guise
to get the girls
to get the guys
guys 
     guys



put on the disguise
UDope
Incomplete
Drop Out
Withdraw
Pick up a class
    Pick up an ounce
        Pick up an eight ball
More Dope You Dope
Intake till you fall

You Dope 
     You Dope
More Money 
than you could hope
so empty
   so incomplete
finish it up next semester

spring term rolls around
eyes roll back
U Dope is whack
smoke it up
books stack
smoke stacks smoke stacks
rack it up, stack it up

work hard play harder
cooling off like carter / vince that is


remember him?
drop the drugs
your smarter

work hard play hard
drop the drugs
do it harder
do it smarter

be a baller
no joke
UDope

Rolling Eyes
Rolling Eyes
like sheeps in disguise
follow follow
follow me
with their gazing eyes
critical
critic
critique all my antics

so easy
so easy to look
so easy to see
so hard to see in inside
so hard to dig deep
so weak so weak
critical critic critique

yourself all these sheep
all these sheep

herding around
hearing what to do
same shit everyday
left then right shoe

step by step
robotic
pattern
prototypical
typically following protocol
calling me crazy
fuck you
does that make me crazy

you make me crazy
i'm sane
i'm pinky and the brain
doing what i do every night

taking over the world
one step closer

zoom out
look down
like im flying on a kite
but now i'm solo
no mary jane
no enhancer
stay sane

you can live life plain
or go for the fame,
use, abuse, misuse
medicate the emotional pain
looking for a reason for people to remember my name
am i just looking?

remember my name?
i'm etching it onto the globe
too bad this shit's etch a sketch
shaky shaky
beware of faulty structures

all the strucutres that surround
institutions make the world go round
society paints a picture
and I look like a clown
call me bo zo
I don't care

just don't touch me
that's a no no
sometimes i feel like santa
surrounded by ho ho's
get dough
avoid the ho ho's

used to be so proper
so clean and so nice
this world is so cold
it turned me into ice
sometimes i'm an asshole
but i'm really very nice

seek up an emotion
but my well's dry
seek up an emotion
and my cup is overflowing

as I flow flow flow
ebb and flow
as I go I glow
you just don't know
that as I go I glow
you just don't know
you don't know me
and you never will
too bad
cause everyday a part of me gets
killed
killed
killed

but i go
i grow stronger
"am i not afraid to keep on living"
"I am not afraid to walk this world alone"

everyday i live
my life gets longer
my body gets stronger
older better faster stronger

people say what doesn't kill me gets me stronger
but all i do is change
surrounded by the deranged
i'm insane but im the sanest
fuck this shit
let the beat build
let the beat build
build a bear
build a pot
throw in the ante
straddle the blind
ankling
the blind leads the blind
no destination
so i can't read the sign
so i live my life
be merry and dine

Roses in the City

I mold my sculpture (my masterpiece)
in this mixed up world and I
play my role

be a player like Hamlet
Shakespearean action / inaction
anyone?
bueler? bueler?
"anyone
tyson, jordon, jackson, action
i pack..."
books
I'm ridiculous
and I'm quick to bust
if in two pair I trust

15 minutes of fame
for who? for you?
for the tame and the lame?
just comfortably numb
avoiding their emotional pain

drugged up
all the same, but oh so different
what's your cocktail?
what's your fix
what your mix that fixes you up for your fix

best on the B-Team
but I'm pocket Aces
looking at the wasted
pacing around this world

"looking for a substance to drown in"
like Cudi
this world can drown me
but my world is my world
and my world will astound me

as I stand comfortably
strong here
in this place
know my pace
even though this isn't a race
I taste the taste
and I want it all
but I gotta relax
kick back and just ball
bball everyday
music life
art and reality

just be me
smell the roses
smell the roses in the city
my oasis in concrete
trick or treat
obvious or discrete
to each their own
but everybody is just looking down
looking down
everybody is just looking down

at their damn cell phone

to each their own
but
i wish they knew
i wish they knew
i wish I knew
