about

from the 'mixtape' "A Working Class Hero (Is Something To Be)"

lyrics

bullyfootwork like uprock improv
open invitation for you to get involved
battle roulette examination
placing skill at the mercy of opinion
killer of the king's dominion
Midas like digits
never heard if it ain't broke don't fix it
not blessed with invisible touch yet
crazy enough they might
rush come save me from myself
apparently I seem to ask for assistance with passing glances
chances are you lost me a long time ago
honestly, saving me is not a viable option
for personal upward development
I create my own element to stay relevant
innocent armor like Alphonse Elrich
my soul wrestles with an accidental vessel

stamp taxin'
maxin' and relaxin'
main attraction says it's time for some action
cut to the chase
or face the music
gaining momentum to avoid the acoustic onslaught
all and all a brick in the wall of sound
standing on the verge of getting down
no protection from my massive attack
told you before I'll take it all back
ball bats with nails
any sucka duck in the path can count shells in an orderly fashion
snap you out the daze
the haze you create
with you pills and powders and passion plays
temporary lovers with wandering eyes
nobody's certain where the interest lies at a time like this
a very unlikely chain of events for a crime like this
