Lightning Strikes Twice

{Excerpt from American Beauty} I fantasize about a life that doesn’t so closely resemble hell.

You obviously have no interest in saving yourself.


S.U.N.
Spiritually unified nation
Lightning strikes twice

Lightning strikes twice and it ain’t nothing nice
Lightning strikes twice and you might pay the price
Lightning strikes twice and it ain’t nothing nice
Lightning strikes twice and it can take your life X 2

Bombs bring disaster
The world is spinning faster
Has to be out of control
Yo who’s got the wheel?
Slow down don’t crash
Don’t drown you can last
Put a pound through the glass so ignorance will not last
I’m tired of the past yo
I’m lookin’ at the future
Inspired by the fact that rich people wanna’ boot ya’
Back down the social scale
But I will not fail
I will not fail
Repeat I WILL NOT FAIL
Inhale to exhale and analyze detail
Because they’re big on blackmail
And thrive on betrayal
Like so many females leave my heart so frail
Relationships fail when the womb is jail
High tail, set sail
It’s a brand new day
And we can blaze new trail in a brand new way
My word play is like a screen play
A good team play
And when I get up in his face he parle Anglais
But that’s okay
Alotta’ cats straight have to fold under pressure
They past away like cast away this world is gonna test ya’
So it’s probably best you keep a vest on your chest
But I’m investing in sess because I’m really impressed
At the drop in my stress
I’m like ex girl to next and not feeling so vexed
I’m not feeling so vexed
But it’s mundane again
My plain seem the same
My shame is not in vain and it will not change
Though it all seems so strange now it’s outta’ my range
Hip hop runs through my body like the blood through my veins
Your love is like chains on my arms
Razor blades to my palms
The calm before the storm and now the lights not on
First thunder and then lightning
The outcome’s frightening
It might bring a fire, flames of desire
I walk the high wire so I can fall and inspire
Just to take us much higher…

Lightning strikes twice and it ain’t nothing nice
Lightning strikes twice and you might pay the price
Lightning strikes twice and it ain’t nothing nice
Lightning strikes twice and it can take your life X 2

{Excerpt from American Beauty}
My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge. I fantasize about a life that doesn’t so closely resemble hell.

Man you are one twisted fuck!

Nope. I’m just an ordinary guy with nothing to lose.


Pollution chokes the earth and my lungs they hurt
I work to put food on the table now I’m covered in dirt
Give the shirt off my back if I could write one track
To touch a million different heads and make them all look back
At the songs I’ve made, dues paid, shows played
I’ve prayed so many times my faith is startin’ to fade
Where’s god when we need him?
To stop internal bleeding
In this inferno pleading
Eternally I’m weeding out the weakest link
I think I need to seek some guidance
Build alliance, show defiance
Through fights riots and violence
Or maybe we could talk it out?
It hurts? Walk it out
Rock about a thousand shows just to mock these hoes
Who always chose to brown nose
Y’all pose like you got flows
Your music just blows and shows when you talk
Please stop sucking corporate cock
Soar like a hawk
Attract women by the flock
Stalk my prey
But afraid to get played or involved
Yo the problem’s been solved and I evolved
To bang my head against the wall a few more times
While y’all commit war crimes
But wanna’ crucify us for the puff puff pass
Them bluffs won’t last
Surpass we too vast
Y’all even got less class than my broke ass
And that’s just a sickening thought
For this thickening plot
And this quickening rot of civilization
My visualization
Is an equalization
Of power throughout humanity
Because we all family
Now how can it be?
How can it be?
Redemption ascending through this life full speed
So that when lightning strike twice yo it don’t hit me
Yo it don’t get me so that my eyes can’t see
Might be lost in stormy weather but I’m a wise emcee
The wise emcee that these cats wanna’ be

Lightning strikes twice and it ain’t nothing nice
Lightning strikes twice and you might pay the price
Lightning strikes twice and it ain’t nothing nice
Lightning strikes twice and it can take your life X 2
