 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 Nick:
 I'm in a good way on a bad day thinking of a plan a way to stay
 On top of it, nailin' in I have a fit if I sit, sit doin' nothin'
 Which is what I done so far but I carve a niche with sits in
 My good things brain layin' the tracks like a loco mo spark the Jay
 ---> Play Verse 2 over:
 Table Rosa is my brain don't mean to bug or drive you insane
 Don't have to guess just what I'm sane (sayin')
 If I had a point, I'd say it plain
 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 Dammit my brain is blank and that's lame
 I would be a liar if I said I was inspired
 Nothin' to say but that's ok
 ---> Play Chorus over:
 Nod your head to this
 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 Messin' around, I'm not having it you bite the hand I put your head out
 I come to know a travesty and so sad to see
 The scene dictated by frustrated former musicians
 Switchin' the emphasis from art to money
 ---> Play Bridge over:
 But I demand autonomy what else I tell you what's wrong to me
 The industry's ability to manufacture stars
 They churn them out like Iwo Jima makes cars
 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 But the blame lies not with those suits for trying it's the sheep
 That keep on buying that souless crap whatever they put in front of ya
 The hysteria of America
 ---> Play Chorus over:
 Nod your head to this
 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 Well, stress is the enemy and not a friend to me
 One thing I see is to be easy goin' throwin' down sit back
 And watch my life flowin' and knowing life is but a dream
 ---> Play Bridge over:
 You can ask my home team, let me tell you how I seem
 My economy seems to be in words not action actually ya see yes
 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 I'm a tempest and I rarely rest but that's what you go to do
 If you want to be the best
 So I'm on a threshold so don't tell me no
 I just flow and know I can count on my bros
 ---> Play Verse 2 over:
 Table Rosa is my brain don't mean to bug or drive you insane
 Don't have to guess just what I'm sane (sayin')
 If I had a point, I'd say it plain
 ---> Play Intro/Verse 1 over:
 Dammit my brain is blank and that's lame
 I would be a liar if I said I was inspired
 Nothin' to say but that's ok
 ---> Play Chorus over:
 Nod your head to this, to this, to this
 ---> Play Fill 1 over:
 Don't you know that the devil he's in me and God she is too
 My Yin hates my Yang, but what the hell ya gonna do
 I choose a rocky ass path but that's how I like it
 Life's a bowl of punch go ahead and spike it
 ---> Play Ending (x1)
