I came in with the wind and blew out with the dust I'd pro'ly quit if I only knew how to give up It ain't nothin to me to suffer defeat I was built for this it's a must I succeed I trust and believe in myself first and foremost I'm influenced by the music only 1994 knows And so I cherish the groove I sit and think of all the ways I could embarrass the moon I'm stuck between a cock and a heart ache A hard day plus rough night make for a long face And I'm expected to give a damn in a world so full of soccer moms and mini-vans Pretty glam, and celebrity news It's only thru the lies that they're telling me truth cuz When life's so bad it's satisfying It's... closing your eyes to practice dying Tomorrow's mess, today's frustration When my ass is dead I want my ashes spread at the bus station Enough waitin, I'm done playin So to say I'm taking over's just an understatement I'm not white bitch I'm pigment impaired Plus I'm unhappy unless I have me some children to scare Man I ain't part of this place I'm like a shark in a lake You say I'm talking out my ass then I'm gonna fart in your face I don't mind being the one who gave up on giving in It's Hell's heaven we're living in Committing sin I'm not the type to embellish The Lord I'm angelic and for death by umbilical cord While the world walked by I was virtually dead Caught a glimpse of reality snuck back in my head Sought after success, and to simply finish I'm just tryin to make an hour out of 15 minutes I came in with the wind and blew out with the dust I'd pro'ly quit if I only knew how to give up It ain't nothin to me to suffer defeat I was built for this it's a must I succeed

Chorus: I came to party (hey, ho) You came to party (hey, ho) We came to party (hey, ho) Ah yeah! Buck: When I step up in the jam I let my feet converse Cop a brew from the crew gotta feed my thirst We came here to party, spread love and have fun Get up and act dumb fresh with the action Surreal: Think ill drinks spill we still refill Mosh pittin in the kitchen kids listen please chill Act like monkeys gettin funky in the zoo Up chuckin chunks jungle juice with fruit Buck: Keep it movin consumin is what we doin if your buddy's party-poopin then flush him (nothin to it) It's all about gettin live, freestyle, no written rhymes It's your turn to roll, so let me throw the frickin dice Surreal: Tall boy to 40oz all brews united All races both sexes everyone's invited Carnival cruise big party small room Dancin on the ceiling tearing off the roof Chorus: I came to party (hey, ho) You came to party (hey, ho) We came to party (hey, ho) Ah yeah! Surreal: Cinderella dressed in yella Went up stairs to kiss a fella When she got there who'd she see? Buck Bowen! Surreal the MC! Buck: Pi-pizza box breakin bustin love seat moves For the women DJ spinning lusty grungy grooves Get rowdy hands up, this party is on Never mind the voices that's part of the song Yo this party's the bomb Well you gotta hand it to me cause I keep the 40 dressed with an Alabama Koozie Abalaba STOP, Are you sober? I'm not Gotta keep my glasses all the way to the top Alright chill, let me get the damned deal straight Get ill but keep your hands off my Big L tape Hit eject with respect then I threw in some Ren Party thru the morning then we do it again! Chorus: I came to party (hey, ho) You came to party (hey, ho) We came to party (hey, ho) Ah yeah!

My favorite past time is soft kisses in the rain I long to meet the man whose image is reflected in the window pane No options left, the answers didn't work So it leads me to believe that something else has been at work I've lost all control I'm so confused I'm gonna jump off the edge of this open wound I've been so consumed, with thoughts of death All I've managed to gain was a lost of breath it's like Where do you, move in life When the only house for sale is being sold by suicide They shut the doors, and changed the locks So I'm gonna find the exit with the safety off, nah I maybe wrong but, I maybe right All I know is that I'm dying trying to stay alive And I admire the hurt, but I'm tired of fighting the urge This time I let the silence be heard Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices The silent screams Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices The silent screams Who am I? Is the question I ask But the answer always leaves me second guessing my past So I guess that I'm back to step one but Better yet, I'm confident that I never left It's a forever quest And, clearly it's hard Trying to find a way around these insecurity guards I was here to be scarred My flesh consumes the truth of my past regrets, mistakes, and future blues So what do I do? I wish I had the recipe for all the trouble I brew I keep it humble, but it's a struggle to do Cause I don't want to get thru life just by stumbling thru It's the same old story, nothing is new I've cluttered my view, and so, my judgement is skewed I've had enough, of fighting to lose, I'm tired and bruised I'm gonna take the silence off mute Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices The silent screams Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices Your best choice is to succumb to the deaf voices The silent screams See I've came along way but I feel I'm still losing Cause I'm a dichotic caught up in this reallusion I'd love to say I'm out my mind But I've been steady drowning, I'm going down without a fight And I ain't giving up I'm just letting go, forget a boat This sea of thought beholds a depth I've never known it's better ohhhh The desire to sink, I'm tired of me, I'm gonna let the silence be free All I know, is I've accepted the pain I walk slow, when taking steps in the rain I wanna go, play a friendly game of hide and seek But the world I'm in is uninterested in finding me
