I'm lookin' for an entry point
I'm lookin' for a vein
I'm lookin' for a tangible way
To send these chemicals to my brain

I can't really explain...

She knows it, I know it
****.. everybody knows it and I even show it

Something happened and something was triggered
I now am captain, it must be destiny I figured
Gettin' bigger and bigger, like the hole to your grave and I'm the digger

This is her life, my life, our life
This is your night, my night, our night

I know these might be words to just a silly beat,
Your thoughts freeze and others can't really compete
You feel it and know this poetry's deep
You steal it and know it's something you wanna keep, press play and just let the words repeat

I seldom see double,
but always been the type to welcome trouble
As I re-write my self from my own bubble

Got a split lip and a splinter in my hip, was tryin' not to fall but I slipped...
I skipped the most important step, so my direction got flipped and even if I get bad service I'll still tip

I do it for the small short living moments
Don't let time pass you by, find your calling and own it

This is her life, my life, our life
This is your night, my night, our night

-J.A.M

Addict, alcoholic, call it as you see it or call it how you want it, I have an old soul so I embrace it,
but don't flaunt it, cause I'm sure it's forever haunted

Exaggerations about time and changing of generations,
history will repeat itself,
but we all have our own destinations

If you remain on your own, I wish you luck while you look for a place to call home,
but please never hesitate to pick up the phone

Seems like were always in a search to put someone on a perch, a pedestal, when it doesn't happen
who feels like a fool? We both do...

It's all about that give and take, you'll only get out what you put in,
and if nobody makes any effort then what exactly is at stake? Nothin, for christ sake!,
but everybody must learn from their own mistakes.

This world is dark even in daylight
It gets even darker when night strikes
You'll have to win your own fights and
Adapt to more darkness when they cut the lights

Missiles flying, soldiers dying and family's are crying
Countries with guns in the air and countries using bombs cause they have no guns to bare,
all this will lead to is chemical warfare

Some people look for love, some people look for drugs,
some people give up all together and sweep life under a rug.
I don't mean to be smug, but have you been livin' under a rock? This is the only life you got,
there are no do overs, you only get this one shot!

Take what you want out of this life don't be a coward,  
the clock never stops ticking we get closer to death every hour
If you didn't.. now you know, this knowledge is power

This world is dark even in daylight
It gets even darker when night strikes
You'll have to win your own fights and
Adapt to more darkness when they cut the lights

If you ask me why I no longer believe in surprises
I'll say that I just got tired of rapidly blinking my eyelids

Life leaves scars and life is hard, but hey that's life
Your gonna have to fight to beat struggle and strife
Cause
This world is dark even in daylight
It gets even darker when night strikes
You'll have to win your own fights and
Adapt to more darkness when they cut the lights

Why does everything that makes sense
Get hung up on a fence?
And every thing that doesn't gets emergency delivery In an ambulance
So I'll just throw down lightning bolts like Zues while I'm in this booth
They tell me not to lie, but they can't handle the truth

A sinister minister lookin' for a simple cure
You can have my lady, cause she's just a lady and I don't call her baby, but maybe if it gets hot out you can give her back when I need it shady, cause she's a shady women she's a crazy lady

I'm kickin' down, tokin' up
Sipping down the fifth of jack in my cup
One night stands, smeared numbers on my hands, this wasn't my plan, but I'm takin' advantage while I can
Fall in lust for a perky bust, I can go forever before I bust
It's a must for me to leave you on the bus cause love won't get you into nothin' but a fuss
I know you feel like you trust, but I'm a rolling stone not your boss and don't you know the saying " a rolling stone gathers no moss"?

Why does everything that makes sense
Get hung up on a fence?
And every thing that doesn't gets emergency delivery In an ambulance
So I'll just throw down lightning bolts like Zues while I'm in this booth
They tell me not to lie, but they can't handle the truth

Strikingly frightening creating electricity with simplicity like lightning
And if you ain't heard this, it's worthless for me to be a wordsmith, you and your absurdness can go jump out a birds nest
Stay down when you hit the ground, go pound for pound
Or get on my level and go toe to toe with the devil
I'm hot as a tea kettle

Put me back on the stove,
watch me rise from the flame
and blossom like a rose!

Why does everything that makes sense
Get hung up on a fence?
And every thing that doesn't gets emergency delivery In an ambulance
So I'll just throw down lightning bolts like Zues while I'm in this booth
They tell me not to lie, but they can't handle the truth

There's a mad man beside of me

This man has done his best to destroy me

At one point he was almost successful

Had me rob and steal for him

I conformed to his request because he paid well

I will die and go to hell before I'm ever penniless again

So I carried out crimes that could've led to large amounts of jail time.

Luckily as mad as this man is, he is extremely intelligent

Always had all bases covered

The mad man planned things out to a "T"

I inform him I can no longer carry out these deeds

Seeds for my future have been planted

He picks my brain to see why he can no longer use me

The mad man now observes my talents being used for good instead of evil

He watches me change gradually

Unfortunately the truth is that this mad man was never actually beside me






This mad man is inside        This mad man is me...

-J.A.M

You say your broken, at least your repairable
I'm a broken man and the weight on my shoulders can be unbearable

But you know what ? **** it! Anyone who says we can't make it can **** it, the last thing were gonna do with our young age is kick the buck it!

Now I know your a strong girl and don't need to lean on a man
All it really is, is me sayin' I got your back forever when I reach down and hold your hand

I'd never call you my "*****" you'd be my "partner"
We could lie in this ditch together and share our artwork
Cause I know even if I was rich, the last thing you'd care about is my money or how much my cars worth

-J.A.M
