[Brother Ali]
Damage, uh, damage, uh (4x)
Y'all know good and goddamn well
You're f**ing with a brother who ain't never had his hand held
and never seemed pa**ed out
Rolling baby strollers over broken floating bottles
In a frozen forest with a dying shred of hope inside you
For this respect, I sweated and bled
and have yet to be discredited by what a critic ever said
"We're unaware of his racial make-up
we know he's an albino but can't science the face up!"
Never question what I am
G-O-D knows if you don't, you can never understand
so you need only know that I'm unrelenting
Nothing breaking, never ending, seldom bending
Cast shadows like light descending
Must not discuss divorce with the case still pending, but
I got some sh** to tell you on my next record
for now, we and Sage Francis connected and did--
(*whispers*)
Damage, uh (repeated)
[Slug]
Wrote this one a couple days after Christmas
'Hope' is one struggled game thats persistent
0 plus 1 2, for Self, no a**istance
Pistol clear before this new year existed
Somebody get the door
f** it, let 'em snore
It's all been said before
buried in a metaphor
Lucy is hip-hop, and Jacob's a prince
Sean is an old man, and Slug is a PIMP now
They say I'm buggin, cause of the way I love 'em
Nervous, cause I know I'll never make the perfect husband
What, they treat me like LL for art f**s
They hang out and argue about my clown thought and *snort rocks*
<---(reversed)
From the twin cities, call it the deuce
Skinny grizzly-bear alcoholic on the loose
Sing with me, show your love, give me proof
Flip the switch to damage and make this planet move
