".. shall be great tribulation..

and a time of trouble will hit the world

such as was not since the beginning of the world known

nor shall ever be again.."



[The Grouch]

I ATAK like P-Minus on the finest tracks I make

Activate my talents show the world how I escape

No wait for class to break I'm livin life around the clock

I might regret it in the end but you might end up gettin shot

on a walk to see your grandma in the park on quiet Sunday

and, one way or another, umm, life is unpredictable

My little brother's rich and Wolfhawk Tommy he's a father

Aesop's got a car and they say, armageddeon isn't far

But who are they?  I don't sweat 'em, even though, umm

deep in my heart I know that, TV's got some hella good shows

And oh the internet?  That shit's off the hook

I drop a book, in a second, being stuck with, techno-

-logical advancement, the shit we're all entranced with

that show little value for another human's life

Zoomin right past the point for a joint or some alcohol

and beatin on a loved one?  C'mon, waht's wrong with y'all



[Chorus x2: The Grouch]



The world is a crazy place

A smiling face may, or may not be friendly

Good things have side effects, bad things benefits

I wanna live until the endathis, universe



[The Grouch]

Universe [echoes and fades] ..

Fucked up tunes and verses, curses and drivebys

Unheard opinions, bad beef and greasy fries

Teachers who are unwise, preachers between young thighs

Guns knives and power in the wrong hands, landlords

crooked cops and those damn whores

Look at the shit we stand for

Plan for a perfect life, ended up gettin jerked and strife

lives in the family and, nobody understands me

when I speak about it (you too?)  I doubt it, doubt it

Nevertheless I struggle, try and get my bubble on

Stumble 'pon a little light I'm tryin to magnify

I'll be damned if I don't fit into the plan up in this lost land

I paid my cost and a, little bit of extra

Only fresh effects I saw came from ?? and Corey Shaw

Life has me in awe, a little wild and too raw

It's true y'all.. I'm scared, and unprepared

But know in life you motherfuckers, just don't care



[Chorus]
