[Verse 1]
As the soles of his feet grip the grit of the concrete
His palms beat the psalms of the street's sweet heart's content
Can't shake how these days and times feel
He deals with the speakers strapped tight
Wrapped around his head
Too tough to break the bad from the good
Both gleamed f**ed up sides, and so he would
Push the dial up until his ears start to pound out
And all of the bad sh** from both got drown out
He found out all things thus, will follow suit
If he can keep himself locked in a beat so smooth
[Chorus]
When the music is so loud
It's hard to hear
All the muses of the proud
That try to steer
Your vessel when they're not the captain
You best go take this damn ship off the map, then
Land in amps and frequency scans man
Now you're seeing clear
And you can feel what the truth be
But be the truth lies?
Blinded, though you can see
[Verse 2]
As his head grew older, the phones got stuck
He shrugged his shoulders
Truly he could not give a f**
And you would see it in his eyes as he trot by
The music gave him truth he gave the music
“All my heart, not just part, but my full attention”
He said relentin' foolish tension in his mind the bent him
Up out of shape before
But no that's not the case no more
As he had found a place where he can safely save face and
Just ignore, what he felt he must ignore
Mystified, by the key and the time signature in his eyes
And be the lies truth
That's what he'd learned
Through his fruitless tries
And attempts to burn
Through the forest
Of coarse things a rubbin' him the wrong way
Along the street he sang his song upon the wrong day
Under a long tape, he didn't stop to read it
A man locked in the house from the polices had flee-ed
The sirens whining and po-nine screamin'
But he had never noticed cuz the melody would keep in
Tune and the boom when the hammer hit the casin'?
Same rhythm of the drum
But couldn't stand once they brought the ba** in
And the cop report stated;
One bystander completely disintegrated
Lead drove its hole into his head
Left those in awe, so it's said or the legend goes…
That his ears knew it couldn't be the end, no
His essence coalesced, and now he rests with the decrescendo
