2.Better Days
85 miles out of nashville, thinkin' bout the way things change
Try an keep it by the reigns
I'm a lone drifter, big money flipper
Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter
I missed her in kentucky, went down to lousiana
I never had no lovin' like i had in alabama
A man of my word ain't out to hurt nobody
I'm jus a m c to keep the boogie in the party
Been singin' lodi dodi since 84 and
I'll be singin' lodi dodi 'til i'm 84
I couldn't ask for more, life's been sweet
So you can save the planet, i'll save your seat
Bridge：
I been gone for weeks, i ain't slept in days
I can't find myself in this self made maze
It's been so long since i've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
Chorus：
And i know i'll see better days
Well i know you'll see things my way
I never thought about change until
Spend a little time where time stood still
Been lookin' for a mill but i keep comin' up shy
I been broke fool, i ain't tryin' to be that guy
Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
I'm tryin' to get some money, i ain't getting any younger
At times i wonder, at times i won't
Sometimes i give a fuck but most times i don't
...even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare
I try to stay straight but it's kickin' my ass
Everytime i look ahead i get a glimpse of the past
I sit half mass like a sholdier's flag
That's why my left leg limps and my dickies sag
It's been so long sicne i've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
(chorus)
Well i been all around this crooked land
I come across all walks, i shook jim beam's hand
I got no plans and no place to go
It keeps getting harder to just say no
I see people laugh and people cry
That's how some live and that's how some die
Well me myself i'm gonna sit right here
And i'm a watch this world break down in tears
All my fears and dark gray skies
Couldn't crack my smile or break my stride
Got too much pride, i got too much shout
I might be down but i still ain't out
Got too much time and that's all i have
When i leave this world i'll still be sad
It's been so long since i've been fine
I'm just tryin' to see the bottom of this bottle of wine
(chorus)
3.What'chu Lookin' At
747 come 11 to bust
Somebody take me home i wanna live in lust
When trust is low and stakes are high
Thta's all i ever did in denver was die
(that's all i ever did in new york was die,
That's all i ever did in la was die)
So put em' up, put em' up to the sky
And wave goodbye to miss american pie
Cuz you been tellin' lies, you took it all and abused it
Whatever happened to the feel good music？
Somewhere, somehow, some way somebody pulled the plug
And left me sittin' in a dirty little pub
Chorus：
I gotta tell you baby life's been good to me
And i know that makes you mad
Cuz that's something you can't see
I got everything i ever wanted
And i'll never give that back
Oh i know you hate that fact
But you ain't gotta look at me like that
I said you ain't gotta look at me like that
(what'chu lookin' at...
What'chu lookin' at...
What'chu lookin' at...
What'chu lookin' at...
What'chu lookin' at？)
You run around pullin' stunds like that
See never in my life could i front like that
I ain't cut like that, i couldn't run like that
I'm a keep it non fiction and take my hat...uh
Remember back when things looked grim
I spent a lot of time and money on whims
I remember the crew, remember the good times
Remember the orange and i remember the sunshine
It's all gone that's a thing of the past
The fact remains that it moves real fast
So why you sit around hopin' things might change
I'll be sittin' pretty singin' hey pockey way!
(chorus)
You'll hear me comin' hummin' songs of redemption...huh
I'e been oppressed for less than attention
I got your extension but i'll probably never call
Cuz this time last year you ain't seen me in your crystal ball
And i'm uphauled by the things you've done
Left a trail of wrongs and can't account for one
Now you're done and i'm glad but it's a shame you'd waste it
You want this so bad you can taste it
Detroit love can you feel that (feel that)
That's stick an move can you feel that (feel that)
I'm on the rack for the two triple zero
Full failure all american hero
(chorus)
4.Follow Me
you don't know how you met me
You don't know why, you cant turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when im with you i make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singing....
Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear
Cause as long as no one knows
Than nobody can care
Your feelin guilty
And i'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed
And baby i'm not scared
Im singin...
Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
Solo
Won't give you money
I can't give you the sky
It better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go a stray and
We'll be alright if you don't ask me to stay
Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
You don't know how you met me
You don't know why, you cant turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when im with you i make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singing....
Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
Follow me
Everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave
I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me.
5.Heaven
Chorus：
If heaven ain't a lot like detroit
I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like detroit
I'd just a soon stay home
If they ain't got no 8 mile
Like they do up in the d
Just send me to hell or salt lake city
It would be about the same to me...
It would be about the same to me
Detroit city from aretha to aaliyah to bob seger to
Joe louis n' his arena an now me
Paradime the mice of over achievers
Smokin' sewer caps bottom feeders and parking meters
A bunch of bad dudes in the mad brew and tattoos
So think twice before you pass thru
Or get clapped through wack crews get hurt
We can take you for a ride or take you for your shirt
I did it in the bronx, i did it in queens
And you can see me do it, do it down in new orleans
Fat backs n greens i'm a scene of amazement
You'll be picking all your teeth up off the fucking pavement
Is that kracker with a c？
Naw kracker with a k!
Kracker mother fucker all god damn day
You could take gratiot south but that's a real rough route
You'll get found face down with your pockets hangin' out
(chorus)
Back in the mother fuckin' saddle
Wanna battle kid rock bitch your up shit's creek with out a
paddle
I'm no tattle cause i do not snitch
I lick clits n' drop cock n' twats that spit
I spit like hick's n' mix hits for flom
And thats' what you call droppin' bombs
Got a bullet head dick with a 30 odd 6
And from a thousand yards i'll hit ya right in the lips...shit
Motherfuckers wanna talk about shinin'
Here's four fingers, kiss my fuckin' diamonds
I keep climbin' but these charts ain't shit
I'm a whinin', linin', rhymin' son of a bitch
I'm the son of a shotguns unsung cry
And i'm the only mc that'll never die
'cause if it's real you'll feel it, so check for the name
Or look for the dog with the fade in the chain...yeah!
(chorus)
Kracker's the name double x in size
An i reside on the side where the sun rise
See i'll never be touched cuz i'm outta reach
Call me kracker just be fuckin' up spots like bleach
Worst in my division, i got bitches on file
From the mississippi river on back to belle isle
I got style but it doesn't show
I got more love for detroit than you'll ever know
I know cats that sling crack n cats that scrap
Cats that bust beer bottles over baseball caps
Cats that get drunk and like to spark up skull cats
They keep sawed offs chillin' up in their trunks
Whores an 44's, scoops n blow an fuck faygo bitch
We poud cans of stroh's
We run the mitten from the river way up to the farms
That's why we got these fuckin' d's tattooed on our arms
(chorus)
6.Steaks ＆ Shrimp
Clap your hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
C'mon clap your hands to the beat, i said clap you hands to the
beat
Uh huh and you don't stop, uh-huh and you don't stop
Uh huh and you don't stop, uh-huh and you don't stop
We in this great lakes state eatin' steaks n shrimp
It's kinds hard to miss the crew cause' we all got limps
We come equipped with new kicks and stetsons
The super saggy bags and the white trash connection
No flexin', huh, know what i mean
You can feel us fool, we don't need to be seen
It's all about the green, not the drugs we be takin'
That shits free with an lp in circulation, and we be wastin'
time
Got them all state, all county, all hood rhymes
It's all good times, thank the lord
For dumb fuckin' people and credit card fraud
Were tearin' up your lawn, we got herds of lincolns
Step into your crib and have your whole house stinkin'
Don't blink and don't think were soft
Hide your money and your gold and don't express your thoughts
We get mad props, wreck all shops
Puttin' stops on crews they get confused and lose, that's what
we do
Styles tem from pioneers
Leavin' suckers in awe you get jawed for lookin' queer
Can you hear me or am i talkin to the wall
That's top dog callin' out each and everyone of y'all
You get balls you come and talk that shit
But top dogs camp ain't nothing to fuck with
And don't say we didn't warn ya
I got this detroit thing with more love than california
Drunk dj smokin' cognac dips
Call me the sidekick thug boy kid with the limp
I rip through rhymes like a bullet in the breeze
And i float through tracks like a shark in the sea
A we bit shy but i comply by me
And i'm a mean motherfucker when i have to be
Got young g's with sleeves and thieves on hold
Strategically placed in case somebody feels bold, i told
You ho's you can't fuck with these cuz
I make more papers then trees
See we believe in brotherhood forever is criteria
You fuckin' with top dog your fuckin' with familia
No i ain't feelin' ya, got all that i can do to hear
Anytime you see me you should stand clear
You see me in my lincoln, in the clubs drinkin'
Who you gonna check bitch, what the fuck you thinkin'
You can check me but that shit don't slide
You can get your life took tryin' to take my pride
You ride with who？ man that shit ain't big
I roll with dogs that'll rock your wig
And got gigs all money, detroit to portland
Cellular receivers and beepers is what were sportin'
Your nothin' of importance, i don't sweat you
Yeah the drinks on me but the jokes on you
I'm all about the everyday nothin' at all
See i'm not doin very much i'm just havin' a ball
I'm in bed by four i'm up by noon
I might sit around, i might write me a tune
I might go fishin' and again i might not
I might get me a 40 or pour me some scotch
The watch on my wrist that don't even exist
A lot of pissed people from appointments that i've missed
I dissed everybody and their mom for spite
Cuz everybody's barkin' but nobody ever bites
Your talkin' loud, sayin' nothin'
Get you dad, get your cousin
Go and get your boy cuz he's as big as a house
Now take your pussy ass click and get the fuck out
I'm the estranged, deranged, got domains like states
I live in plush hotels with them hourly rates
I do big plates 8 times a day
The crew be livin' large at the seafood bay
Got a way with the world and now i'm lookin' to scramble
Ain't about to ass out on a no good gamble
I could handle anything but i ain't down for broke
So before somebody slides somebody's getting' choked
I'm a no good freak, i tweak skin like rashes
I lose a little love with every day that passes
Ain't a masochistic, rock, statistics, vocabulary i'm a very shy
simplitic
And get this, some people say i changed
I'm the same mother fucker with the same old name
A little extra game and extra cash see
You could fuck me but don't put it past me
You wanna bash me and got no reason
I can lay up in the caymans for 4 straight seasons
I ain't a pnk, i refuse to be
I live for what is not what used to be
Your all up in the past that's ass
Hear what i say
I'm all about today and i'm a die that way... bitch
7.Who's Your Uncle
I laid cuts with jay and rocked rhymes with run
A couple mill in the back and i' ain't even done
I got platinum plaques, i write platinum tracks
I got it all from raps and that's the platinum facts...uhh
All that and there ain't nothing i fear yet
Sippin' champagne up in company leer jets
5 star meals, caribean vactions
Everything's pluxh delux accommodations
Nationwide the stations vibe
To the cat who covers tracks like the lace on thighs
My ace is high there ain't gonna be no guessin'
And i'm the illest mother fucker on the block no question
I ain't destined i don't fuck with fate
Self made millionaire while your bussin' plates
You see i've already done everything you wanna do
So what makes you think i give a fuck about you
Chorus：
Detroit to texas, texas to la
Who brings it to you, who ooh ooh ooh, who's your uncle？
Brooklyn to the bayou, across the southern plains
Who brigns it to you, who ooh ooh ooh, who's your uncle？
I shot dice with the devil on many occasion
Drank shots with god in an old gas station
A couple accountants that count my statements
Cribs all paid for, no car payments
Rocked in basements for gas and beer
And now i get all that and big loot to appear
I couldn't steer so i got me a chauffeur
Hired a chef cuz i was tired of stouffers
I got over and people showed envy
Cuz i couldn't choose between a lincoln and a benzy
Fendi shades and topless maids
I don't worry about clothes cuz their custom made
I drink crushed up grapes that have been aged for years
Your smokin' op's drinkin' 32 beers
I've alread done everything you wanna do
So what makes you think i give a fuck about you
(chorus)
8.Whiskey ＆ Water
Chorus：
You put some whiskey in the water
Gonna run off with your daughter
And if i make it to the border
I'm gonna be alright
You put some whiskey in the water
Gonna run off with your daughter
And if i make it to the border
I'm gonna be alright
I'm on the run the devil's tryin' to get me
Says i met him at a pawn shop down in mississippi
I was an angel lookin' for another face
I must a bumped my fuckin' head when i fell from grace
I found a place in the sun like stevie
And now i gotta wonder cause the rain don't believe me
I need to breath, take the money and run
I put my faith int he one place and now i'm fuckin' done
(chorus)
I could a been a sain't but i chose the wrong path
I ain't no dummy take the money and laugh
I got the cash, did the dahs for the door
Now i'm sittin' on my stash and i'm feelin' like a whore
I'm torn but can't think, i blink so i miss
I move in strange ways, i move to dismiss
I'll leave this place and when i do that's it
I don't need to conclude so you can keep that shit
(chorus)
I'm headin' south on old whiskey road
Livin' life like a story that doesn't need to be told
It's getting' old always runnin' from the past
I'm lookin' at myself in the bottom of a glass
I won't last, my lights too dim
I seen the future and it's lookin' pretty grim
I'm gonna win but not like that
So i'm takin' what i got and i ain't never comin' back
(chorus)
9.Yeah Yeah Yeah
I might walk a little funny but my walk is me
I might stutter when i talk but i say what i see
I don't agree with every other little thing that's proven
I do a lot of things that i shouldn't be doin'
I'll ruin everything you might have had in mind
I'm a consistent, belligerent, solidified find
Rhinestone freak, suburban star
I ain't got no money and i got no car
I might make par if it don't take much
See i don't ride very far cuz i ride on luck
I stay pretty stuck in a rut like i should
And i do it for the love of everything that's still good
Chorus：
I don't know why i come here
But i know i'll never leave
It's the only place i wanna be yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know why i come here
But i know i'll never leave
It's the only place i wanna be yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a long way gone but i ain't short lived
I got deep deep pockets that leak like a civ
I give 110 throughout the course of a night
And if i don't go home then i did things right
I'd like to settle down but i ain't that guy
Cuz everything i ever did i always did on the fly
I like to ride the wave til' the tide don't swell
I don't like cocaine but i like the smell
I dwell in the place you might see unfit
But there aint noghint you can every say to make me give a shit
I stay pretty stuck in a rut like i should
And do it for the love of everything that's still good
(chorus)
I'd like to say that i don't do them bars
But my street called straight don't stretch too far uh huh
I'm on the move goin' nowhere fast
And you can tell the whole world they can kiss my ass
I'll take a pass be the last in line
And if it takes 10 years then i'm a be just fine
I saw the signs in the grass ain't green
I found love at the bottom of a bottle of beam
See comin' clean just seemed so jaded
And bein' underrated is underrated but i don't hate it
I stay stuck in a rut like i should
You know i do it for the love of everything that's still good
(chorus),
10.Aces ＆ Eights
Walked up in the bar sat down on the stool
And got the low down from the guy with the jewel
He was playin' pool and he thought he was good
Cuz he bet me 5 dimes he could sink em with his foot
He grabbed a stick tried to kick it with his heel
Did a sic back flip and ended up full kneel
He didn't squeal but it looked like it hurt
And it did cuz he took me for my cash and my shirt
I got worked but what's worse than that
Just as he was leaving he tipped his hat
Then he laughed and said 'i'm sorry 'bout your luck'
When he walked out the door he got hit by a truck
Chorus：
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
That's a dead mands hand
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
That's a dead mands hand
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
That's a dead mands hand
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
How about the guy used to hang in the clubs
Getting all the numbers and getting all the love
He didn't wear gloves he was too hard core
May he rest in peace we don't see him anymore
Lots of stories and old cliches
Small town girl tryin' to make her way
She moved to the city all she wanted was a job
Now she's underneath the desk tryin' to move to the top
It won't stop cuz the circle won't let it
Be careful what you wish for
You might get it
You know the cat got macked by the bees
He was messin' with the honey and the mouse and the cheese
(chorus)
You could beat the system you could beat your girl
But who ya gonna beat come the end of the world
(imagine) everything you ever worked for (strived for)
Suddenly becomin' everything your gonna die for
Now what'd ya live for？ nothing anymore right
How could you live your life uptight？
See everything you did and everything you seen
Rolled around in the mud but you couldn't come clean
And that makes you dirty now how does that feel？
Living life like an open cut that won't heal
Sore at the world and you don't know why
You boucned like a ball and that's how you'll die
(chorus)
11.You Can't Take Me
I've been wasting all my time
And i've been drinkin' all that wine
And i've been drinkin' all that beer
And i've been sheddin' all these tears
I can't go but you can't stay
Your not gonna take me out that way
Chorus：
Because you can't take me
I said you can't take me
No you can't take me anywhere i don't wanna go
I've been down this road before
And i just can not care no more
I can't see what you can see
I'm too busy bein' me
See i can't go and you can't stay
Your not gonna take me out that way
(chorus)
I don't need to save no face
I can't wait to leave this place
I've been fooled by lesser things
And i don't care what tomorrow brings
See i can go but you can't stay
Your not gonna take me out that way
(chorus)
