Forget the arguing, save me a laugh
Like ive been sweating hard all day
And need to take a bath
You cant press charges
If u can't locate the stash
So I cut up all my credit cards
And only pay with cash
And it's usually what ive saved
From the lemonade stand
Everyday lay out a plan
So this brandname stay in demand
Got you animaniacs
chasing space jam
The only way you'll catch me's
wit a live grenade in my hand
Or swallowing the drugs
Providing cover fire
for the hired help
Cuz it's all love
ya cant spell heart without art
Ya big lug
I linger in the loins of limbo
Come join me I'm Dren Doh
But I stay where the shadows
shoot each other down
Somewhere in between the horizon
and the underground
used to panic but to me it's nothin now
just come on down
Our newest contestant
The music suggests it
ITS TIME
Forget the fighting, the fussing, save me a drink
Like I been grinding, hustling
My way through the rink
All the kind i be Juggling
Might take u to the sink
Provide justice
Like im trying to parlay as a king
I've been slaving in the office
For crumbs and cab fare
might take off
At first sight of the sun
wont look back
Play your cards right
And The blame game plays all night
But we light years from here
with ideas to share
meet us halfway the path may reveal itself dear
U can sashay like it's Saturday
And not have to stay hella scared
Now put it in the air
the future couldn't care less if we met em there,
Who said it's fair?
Or that there's much of a fight
for real
I take it light and case the night
With no time to kill
Ride my bike through the sky
finding minds to rebuild
and drive a spike thru the eye
Of any hype in the fields
ITS TIME

no,we wasn't, wasn't raised like that
take it back. make it my matter
save-you rap, treehugging, saving bees.
love some fried chick,
but baby please.
please light a match,
try to catch my drift, shift shape,
swift ape shit on the hypocrisies,
there, where you wanna see,
dare if you dare scare, mama breathe
i'm a be swearing up and down
this underground railroad,
monopoly got me on the freeway
and im the deejay, the emcee
no he-say-she-say cliche replays,
beast by quince
now i'm 32, pray today's my birthday
and that's okay,
no way i'll let this moment go
even if i boot the ball or overthow
"got to do more"
and im trying to do enough
and not lose it plus
appear clearly doing too much, chuuch
what the blood lust mush spot got?
trust your instincts, queen bee
king your slots, adjust your thinking lots
itsy bitsy sniper up top keeping watch,
watch your noggin on the bottom floor
wanting more?
stop the war before you offer scorecards
burning crosses in your courtyards
turning cautious for the judges soaring hard
through the sky, stealth jet depth
live wire fire back nicest raps
lose your mind, yes
true to time, find yourself reach for echoes
dream of destro, do the line
see were special
assume the crime
or choose to shine
for your next dose,
keep up
dren doh.

Believe It

And that's the sound of tomorrow
like I'm way ahead of you,
housing hope and a carload
of stolen plutonium,
out on a trick pony run
wit no ammo loaded in my snub nose
come close, if you think i owe you one
see its a only a decoy
to set the plan in action
you know i go b-boy
in a grand master fashion
like i always do the last beat
feel it in your spine
like it smacked your asscheeks
the past speaks volumes
the present says give a politician room
future says, fuck off if you know what's good for you
but i love the smell of what your cooking, boo
and ya grown ass pussy too
the crystal ball im looking thru
says i'll scoop up a coupon for truth soon,
good for two, that means you and i
are never losing time
even while we waste away
fuck it my shoes are tied,
so why not chase the day
i can't believe what's ahead
i can feel it.
i can't believe what's been said
though i need it
i can't believe i seen red,
i can't keep it
i can't believe i'd be dead,
i believe it.
And the way you smile when you yell
i can tell it's love
you can try to post bail
just tell it to the judge
but nobody seen him for weeks in church or in court
heard his wife just filed a missing persons report
that means you're finally mine
all mine for the rest of time,
i'll tie you up, lock you down and let it fly
go random and no, i wont want no ransom
i know i've been bad, mama
but now i accept that karma
i can't believe what's ahead
i can feel it.
i can't believe what's been said
though i need it
i can't believe i seen red,
i can't keep it
i can't believe i'd be dead,
i believe it.
it's on.

Happens

just because you the last clam standing
don't mean you in command
or own the last laugh gasping
your successor may relieve you of the pressure
develop under your nose
hell of a way to say i suppose
this is why i stay on my toes
a bit like the black swan
shit happens,
don't forget the chance that you can land wrong
big action on the set today
your experience is limited in the field
live with it, forget a deal
do yourself a favor, darling
mean what you pray
and don't say that you're starving
or that you hate the shamen
in the game of life
we make an honest living
as a novice
double dog dare me to beg your promise
you barely exist on charm, in harm's way
mirror image for an entree
and to whom does god pray>
forgive me im not at liberty
i must not say
whether you wake up today or neigh
there's some things in that you can never have a say
whether it's action or the lack of, captain
react or turn your back,
but it happens
just because you researched it or planned it out
don't mean the scheme is working or panning out
these things are not always in our hands
we can only do our part to come together, understand?
value your time with pride and keep the beat
look alive, anything can jive, don't be surprised easily
and you shouldn't be shocked
take where your standing now and circle it, before you start to talk
view the world from as many different angles
you'll be soon sure how to get specific when you tango
with the hands of time
you can close your eyes and feel your spirit pantomime
with the actual divine
and yes you're on your own clock,
there's no last in line, only you can pass you by
and for this you'll know no name or label
some say good karma, like a reward, awaits you.
whether you wake up today or neigh
there's some things in that you can never have a say
whether it's action or the lack of, captain
react or turn your back,
but it happens

i can go off top all the way to the bottomfeed
i can play the fallguy or win you the lottery
i can get use to you before we ever got to meet
i grow on you long before you stop breathing in your sleep
i wont wear off, dren doh is no novelty
i wont share costs, if the show is lost in the street
but i'll keep it lit like shifts in the economy
leave a glitch in the matrix,
dayshift shopping sprees for round the way kids
that i found falling off the beat,
nightgown famous now, bound for college this week'
and if walls could weep, i'd conduct a funhouse
just to sound like a john williams symphony,
just simply toss the sheets
like its water under my feet
as i glide across the calm
disable the bomb in your speech
and go under the table to get paid properly
grateful for the brave
cradle to the grave
holler for me.
