here it is, your goddamn intro
like a one celled organism i'll try to keep it simple
the blimps full of hydrogen, hindenburg, ice berg
accidents inevitable, bullshit, i say preventable
it's the same old story starting to get boring
exploring the same four themes
money, drugs, women, and self crowning kings
destroy the ring
what do fiends for bling bring to the table but fables
conquistadors that don't explore anymore
i implore you to ignore what i'm saying, it's all just statements
opinions, decisions you make on your own... at least i hope you think
my shit is dope
try my best not to swing my dick like a rope
it's all a joke, it's all serious
contradict myself, delirious, it's all a mess anyways
so fuck it, i'll say what i say
so bare with me

it's the Hitterbox
come to knock your block off
so put away your sawed off, accumulate some sawdust
'cause i'm bust building an ark for all lifeforms
'cause the storm is coming and we've got something to fight for
unify under no flag
congregation of creatures
wash away with the wave or get your ass off the bleachers
fuck the bonus features, it's the main event
we say we can change but only dollars make sense
not two of each, every single creatch is welcome
even the the ill and the ignorant
we'll heal them and help them
wealth is some peoples word to describe how their pockets are deep
don't like your vibe, wave goodbye to the rocket and starfleet
let 'em keep this planet, we've got species to meet
i didn't like the way they ran it
man, those speeches got weak
so let 'em preach while we teach
let 'em pray, while we pave our own way
create the tools to escape
it's the modern day noah come to show ya that we don't know shit
but killin' planets, goddamnit, you gotta hand it to us..
in god we trust but not in the populous
steers, queers, architects and engineers, let's get the heck out of here
no rest for us, we've gotta plan our exodus
the best of us have left you with the mess
so clean it up, motherfucks, cuz we'll return when it's fresh

SPRUNG

i love the first hint of spring
everything seems to gleam, shining
all the skirts come out from hiding
yea, reminding me that behinds are the key to the rhyme and the beat
once the heat starts to show
out steps the freakshow
ice breaks, outbreak of twitterpating people yo
i don't know why when things start to grow instinct takes control
bloom is coming in full
grey turns to green, it's a new beginning
when the birds start to sing and i see your bee stings
that's right, honey, i know what you do..
you wear a low cut shirt so i look at your shoes
i wanna bring your thick sticks on a picnic
then i'll spring load you like a bic
flings are quick but you enrich like the soil
you bring my heart to a boil
as we grow closer to the sun, i feel the warmth that you have brung
i'm sprung, and strung out on you like fresh shoes
hello, i don't know if you know me my name is Donovan Pierogi
alter alias of Hitterbox
day and night, i be hittin' box
check the stocks, you're getting top notch crotch
in like a lion and out like a lamb, thank you ma'am
ooo, make me say "goddamn"
you wear a halo, but tear it up like a tornado
an age old story of women causing euphoria
glorious, i want some more of ya
please rain women from the sky 'cause i see no reason why not
season's got your spot hot
whether you like it or not, stop, drop, and roll
when i stroll down the sidewalk my jaw drops like a looney toon
you're making me howl at the moon
'cause i'm not immune to your poon, make me croon 'til my tomb
pheromones filling the air, it isn't fair
why's it inappropriate to sit and stare?
i'm paying you compliment, i'm just smitten
give me the time of day, i'll play with your kitten

indie, punk, folk
these are the terms misused
to get you in a nice new outfit and a new pair of shoes
i'm talking about music
groove it, and when life gives you lemons now you can use it
let me prove it
whether you're up or down, profound sounds can astound
or pound you to the ground, round one, fight!
sight verse sound is seeing verses feeling without touching
it's so touching
there's no such things as a person that's like
"nah, i don't like music"
it's dispersal is universal
as easy as whistling or humming
i'm cumming out my eardrums to rhythms
i think i'm in heaven
good vibrations take you on a vacation
but there's so many classifications i can't choose a destination
the veracity that i see..
is we have the voracity to board a bandwagon well beyond capacity
so have a nice flight, you'll crash and burn, never learn
life long unpaid intern at the advertising firm
it makes me squirm ..this soulless shit passed off as hip
the industry acts like they're as smart as a whip
yet, the internet slit your throat in a quarter note
it's over yo, pack your bags and hit the road
it's okay to make money but you're just making garbage tracks
and that's a fact, not opinion
i hope you're losing billions
hip hop, gangster rap
these are the terms misused
to get you in a nice new outfit and a new pair of shoes
the truth..
that rap has turned fashion show, the passion is lackin' bro
invest your mind into rhyming and less time in bad acting roles
you've got the voice to change the world..
but your choice is to change clothes
that's okay, though
ignore the memo
'cause your end is coming in the form of a storm made up of demos
we spittin', you coughin' phlegm, ooohhh
this song goes out to the underground
your sounds the foundation
your demo-litions got the whole building shaking
burst the bubble, reduce to rubble and leave the lot vacant
than start making a bass line..
become one with the space time continuum's continuous rhythm
good riddance, i'm finished with 'em
what's the point of keeping score if you don't give a fuck who's winning?

Hitterbox, spreading lyrical chicken pox
no cock rock, no value in shock or a plot
i'm not silver spoon white folk, i'm broke
choke on weed smoke to cope,
elope with rhythms written before language was spoke
a yolk protected by a shell that's been through hell, oh well
i dwell in my batcave and try to behave..
'cause i may just save the day
but i've gotta be brave
and lay my fears to waste and make haste before i lose my taste
set a pace to outer space
i wanna say something relevant, overthrow the government
expose convents as convicts, put an end it all conflicts
but nobody is perfect so you've just got to be honest
we do our best to accomplish actions consistently conscious
aw, please
mcs need to cease spitting feces
get on their knees and use the elbow grease
'cause i bring that fuckin' shit like pizza hut
spraying your guts out your butt
take hits while i make hits
i'm breaking beats while you beat dicks

Matinee for Manatee
01:21
|

i'm smoking weed like tony montana sniffs the yayo, all day-o
all the time i've got money on my mind like fannie mae-o
make no mistake though we don't go to church to worship
we go to movie screens, sold dreams
told when to scream and what to cream at
i mean that, maybe this fantasy fattens us up like a manatee
look at me for example, man i love the movies
all these guns and boobies used to stun me now they soothe me
groovy baby, shitty catch phrases incorporated in our language
who wants to vanquish?
it's art, it's entertainment
thinking like cavemen
brain smeared on the pavement
wondering where the days went
i'm thrilled when bruce willis kills us another bad guy
but when i hear michael bay still makes movies i'm thinking "GOD. WHY?"
LOOK AT OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE...THIS PIECE OF SHIT STILL HAS A JOB

ass to mouth
i spit shit turds, it's absurd
the words i'm saying, slurred but verbally slaying
i'm playing with vernacular
spectacular writer-man
i speak to defeat the fear of being unique
the meek inherit the earth one week after the plague hits
no movement like fake tits
switch subjects like politicians do in interviews
'til i get my papers through i'll vaporize to previews of pay-per-view
it's a staple to show a little ego, before we go down that road..
just know that i'm a regular joe, like tom joad trying to make ends meet
but apparently the giving tree is stumped
broke as fuck but still asking for keep bumps
these chumps better listen up
had enough? i hope not
we're plotting robin hood robberies while they rob the hood of it's property
gentrify. semper fi, united we'll fight back
the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Hitterbox, like the 1919 white sox;
underpaid but at the end of the day, i make my own wage
another stained page of history depends on your perception
society's selection of the truth..
is a reflection of our roots in blind faith with no proof
raise the roof, or raise awareness
are you hearing this?
the baron is about to be dethroned by a microphone
the tone of my frequency subliminally spreading decency
casual animals, vegetarian cannibals
in sneakers or sandals can your speakers handle two vandals?
one pedals, the other's spraying from handlebars
can you handle these bars?
like lando, take it to the stars
and leave you floating in space
bold but aimlessly flowing place to place
exploring banal worlds in search of a new race
trying to get that ass in to gear
we need a paradigm shift to get to the final frontier

date knight, trying to play my stakes right
no mistakes and we might take it to late night
i've had my eyes on you for a while now
moment of truth.. i pick you up at a quarter to
order us two imported brews, then start courting you
i wanna know what's important to you..
so let's get this interview over with so you can bend over, bitch
i'm a gentleman, but i get nowhere when i'm gentle, man
i'm just trying to be genuine
but that's not what you're into
you want the hard throb, not the heart throb
i just got my heart robbed, it's a hard job..
trying to keep you interested
we have no common interest but we bond on our indifferences
baby, you're more beautiful than double rainbows
and the pain goes away like a shotgun suicide
do or die, you and i need to seal the deal
fuck what you think, what do you feel?
if you wanna take it to the next level
i live on the third floor, third door down the hall
ghostbuster posters and all
nature's calling me
grab my wallet, check please
haul it back to my place and you can come correctly

this is a bare beat
walking over hot coals with bare feet
bringing the ill like rare meat
i've barely got my foot in the door
i'll take the stairs, g
did you learn nothing from tortoise and the hare, b?
slow and steadily, my flow and melody
bring souls together like ulysses and penelope
but honestly, this odyssey is still developing
call me hot dog, but it's the top dog i'm relishing
i talk a lot of shit about selling out like i'm above it
but commandments command mad men to command men to covet
i don't love it but that's the way it is
show biz or no biz, you want someone to notice
know this, integrity will not get the rent paid
you figured it out it only took a decade
before you call a checkmate..
ask yourself if life's worth living if your self respect fades
how can i judge? have you ever tried to be a musician?
do you know how hard it is to make a living giving listens?
find me any rich rapper and we could switch positions
but the acquisition of riches is not my mission
i'm here to rub you wrong until you glisten
persistent like your groupie-given herpes has got you itching
my mind's glitching
the coins flipping
torn between my ideology and wanting more than just a pot to piss in
i guess what i'm saying is you owe no one an explanation
it's not like selling out's selling your soul to satan
but i hate when an artist gets signed and they pass their prime..
quality in steady decline, no craftsmanship in the assembly line
because music without struggle lacks the magic like muggles
i'm taking sips while you guzzle
you're in a temporary monetary snuggle
while i'm exploring like hubble
learning lessons like a huxtable
lesson number one:
integrity will not get the rent paid
you figured it out it only took a decade
before you call a checkmate..
ask yourself if life's worth living if your self respect fades

FutureBoy vs PastMan
05:47
|
|||
i was born in the middle of a digital age
raised in a wake of progress someone else has made
all my boredoms amused
attitude's apathetic
i will complain about the mess but i don't want to get it
hands are smooth 'cause i'm used to doing nothing
working out my thumbs on playstation, texting dumdums all day
like landfills i'm wasting away
meeting friends on the internets parks to play
haven't been outside for days, i'm at www.
addicted to the equivalent of digital rock
pornographic pacifier gets you higher than you've ever been
steady diet of frozen pizza and vitamins
yea it's like that now..
fat cows, pussies pissing time away queef speaking in cat's meow
here it is at last
future vs. past
one's smoking kush and the other's toking grass
it's a laser gun blast vs. a swinging axe
fast forward skip back kind of attack, jack
futureboy, pastman, match and a gas can
up against an ionic plasma cannon
bare-knuckle, by hand
animatronics get it done
it's a fucking battle for the space time continuum
i was born in them roaring 20's
we had good and plenty
mass production's introduction made me hungry..
although i'm full already
u.s.a on it's way to getting heavy..
too much weight, levy breaks
feeling great, feeling lucky..call the banks
invest in infrastructure
rhetoric infesting like polio
holy mackerel, the flapper dance is here to stay
relax and count your stacks 'cause tomorrow's black tuesday
oh great, now i'm depressed as fuck..
living in a pickup truck, down and running outta luck
uphill.. both ways. foxhole.. pray, pray
f.d.r.. stay, stay. new deals, old ways
lack of tech gave us a strong work ethic
respect, patriotism, religion, alcoholism
golen era, wearing a mask over scars
we've got class but we are just a mass of retards
