Side A

lyrics

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
