Beat Rixe, Lyrics The Elegant Eccentric

lyrics

Hook:

When I look back I can say that I tried
When the road was rough I enjoyed the ride
Made some mistakes but I took em in stride
I mean what was supposed to do roll over and die

1st Verse

My elders and betters said I'd never go to college
matriculated graduated now I got the knowledge
My ex-girlfriends said I was headed to prison
but I'm still in wool pants feeding bread pigeons

An old room mate said I'd probably die from doing drugs
hate to disappoint you but there's air lungs
a cop once said that I need to grow up
I should be like him but I don't drink that much

I once got fired called a thief and a liar
but the man was just a boy and I call no one sire
I took the road less traveled and then covered my tracks
so I won't let the weight get heavy on my back

Had an old room mate say I abuse women
while he wears his girl like a medal that he's winning
If you wanna beat my ass because of my rhymes
That's fine pack a lunch and go to the back of the line.

2nd Verse

Buckle down get a job that's how it is
But why work for you when I'm good at doing this
So i spit puns, then sit and hope for income
with my boys at my back I know Imma get some

I'm on the run but I don't know what I'm running from
Writing down my stories and all the things I woulda done
If I'd only listened and then put it in park
Coulda been another fish in a tank full of sharks

Wanna prove my worth by claiming some greatness
I don't make it complex I keep to the basics
But face it the faceless wanna erase it
take it sedate it make it something shapeless


I wasted some time so I'm picking up the slack
and I tasted victory and I liked the snack
and I worked to hard just to lie down and crack
I'm the Elegant Eccentric the cause of the blow back

3rd
I'm only 23 and I'm already tired
yet restive congestive and mentally wired
one day at a time I watch my life go by
yeah the heads and the tails conjoined by the dime

Musics a coin toss but like an albatross
I'll be ahead of the ship by the time the storms cross
and regain my bearings if I ever get lost
and proceed into the future no matter the cost

Cats claim crew and then turn tail and run
If I catch an ass whooping I'll just laugh when it's done
My name's Dub-E gotta spitfire tongue
walk along a knife, not a round in a gun

If you think this songs about you it probably is
it's also an anthem for the hip-hop kids
a song to smoke weed to and raise your fist
and say fuck cops gangs and the establishment.
