this is a song i did awhile ago, meant to be rapped. Some parts flow, some don't
Cough it up your infected with bubonic what?
Meteor showers locked and protective ducts
Dead children are always innocent left first
Humanity owes itself to alignment with sun bursts
A father laughs as his soul has gotta get burned
A watered down existence, with subtle verse
We’re in shambles, present, but hardly even there
Pumping out children straight to daycare
Karma existence doesn’t exist so you’ll just die here
Common cold kills humanity cause we’re weak eared
Bullshit lives, don’t know why I failed
The threads cut thin and we never grew up
Apparently needed dependence to reach what?
Stop watch, we’re done, the race got cut
Or maybe it’s just you and your teams ****ed
Like a persons mind poured out in social cups
Listen to the cosmos, they listenin’ back
Picking up devilish slack
Waves are outa wack
And deaths calling a draft
For every people that
And every person who’s fact
On the attack
Wrong place now, not supposed to die
Selfish reasons, the diminished sky
We’re in water like a rat trapped in a maze
Alone now, caught by the vastness of space
Out here, screams go unheard
Straight into the sun, knowledge is thirst
Picking up from where I was first
Like god enlightening Noah, we got cursed
Like Moses picking up the tablets
With only 1 commandment
We’re only 1 race on 1 planet
But we’re messing up, screw us goddamnit
We need a compass, the suns not in alignment
Stop {pause}
The silence, it devours me
I love life, but hate man, that’s who I be
I’m a lost soul waging war on heaven
I stopped to think, and it’s me verses the human
I need an infantry,
that’ll dispose of thee
And hold lightning rods to the throat of he
Thoughts escape the waves
4th dimensional caves
And you can find yourself in a spaced out daze
It’s not that you get high
It’s that you’re never high enough
Stopping the rats from overthrowing your touch
And i pulled the sword out of the rock called Excalibur
Raise hell and gain the armies of Lucifer
Tool -- The Grudge
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.
Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end.
Saturn ascends, comes round again.
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.
Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity.
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.
Defining, confining, controlling, and we're sinking deeper.
Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.
Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go.
Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go.

WOAH!!!
WHAT FKN GREAT LYRICZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song always gets me fired up! its just a partay song!
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
We're the renegades in this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades in this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Since the prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then the renaisance came
And times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Payne
Doctor Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades
We're the Renegades of Funk
From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singing electonic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelation
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations
Now renegades are people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We’re the renegades, we’re the people with our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me c'mon!
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're Poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', an' sockin', an' rockin', an puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because we're, Poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're the Renegades of Funk
We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the Force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble
The horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime we pop into the beat we get fresh
C'mon x2
There was a time when our music
Was something called the big street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade those days
To take command of the dance floor
Say jam sucka (Dance) (x2)
Say groove, sucka (move)
Now groove, sucka (move)
Say dance, sucka (Dance) (x2)
Now move, sucka (move)
Now move, sucka (move)
Say jam sucka (Dance) x2
Say groove, sucka (move)
Now groove, sucka (move)
Say dance, sucka (Dance) (x2)
Now move, sucka (move)
Now move, sucka (move)
We're the Renegades of Funk (x7)
The smell was unbearable
As I unburied her
I cum blood from my erection
I feel it run
down her throat, swallow
Eyes glassy and vacant
body dug up to play with
Skin greasy and naked
tounguing her rotted anus
I need a live woman
to fill with my fluid
A delicate girl, to mutilate, **** and kill
her body exceptional
she thought I was normal
but I wanted more
I came blood inside of her
chocking on the clot
gagging on the snot
gushing blood, from her mouth
bloody gel leaking out
Body buried in a shallow grave
Unmarked for none to find
The sickness I have left behind
Undetected go my crimes
The greatest thrill of my life
To slit my own cock with a knife
What's awesome about that? It sounds like the South Park writers making fun of death metal...
Anyway, lets get back to some real lyrics, and in keeping with Koolruningz theme of hellish visions of a not-so-distant future, through the eyes of the Def Juxies. I love how bitter this is. This is why I worship El-P, only he could make something as oddly structured as this flow:
El-P - Stepfather Factory
[Hook]
I'm gonna build a Stepfather Factory
The latest in technology
Stepfather Factory
Jobs for the community
A Stepfather Factory
The age of familial industry
A Stepfather Factory
Building tomorrow's fathers today
A Stepfather Factory
The latest in technology
Stepfather Factory
Jobs for the community
A Stepfather Factory
The age of familial industry
Building tomorrow's fathers today...
Spilling the leftovers of creational clay,
We grew with the concept now we're ready to go public.
Today's a big day for the company
A big step for the little-steppers who slept for years uncomfortably
Little man, little lady, cute little baby,
Reach your hand out to the future of automated robotics
On display here for the first time in "enter year here",
At the World's fair - but is it really?
Ladies and Gentlemen I propose that the market is sinking
Under the weight of useless contraptions added to the shopping carts of all hard-working families,
Electric doodads and wizar haps and such to keep the munchkins entertained
But get replaced by newer versions or just breakdown systematically
Mothers - how many times have you debated self-euthanasia tablets for breakfast snacks?
When restlessness attacks seemingly at random?
With an emptiness inside that's hard to identify, maybe,
Pursuing obvious like pill-popping and constant over-eating?
Chances are you've been abandoned,
Well I'm no scientist, that's not what I went to school for
And I'm not a doctor, so I don't know much about medicine
But I'm willing to bet that you, yes you little...
What's your name sweetheart? (dada!?) yeah, whatever.
Get a funny feeling in your tummy when your mommy cries?
Something between woozy and confusion?
And you spend your thoughts on how the sadness
In your mommy can be rooted out, burned, scorned, turned out, forgotten,
So you can concentrate on candy and little baby dolls
Or whatever it is that normal kids get to think about
Well I can honestly say that this invention is,
Let me start by saying we've grafted only the finest of,
Inserted the most high tech, state of the art, with brain charted for authentic
True to human emotion and trained to be domestic.
Made from the most easily available materials and, uh, loosely inspected,
Guaranteed to revolutionize
Perfectly realistic and even somewhat institutionally respected
Robotic relative.
[Hook]
So you purchased a paternal unit, class A type 1,
A new addition to your living room space, watch it go.
Under warranty for at least 90 days, so have fun
If in that time frame there's a problem, please let us know.
Before you start there's a few details that you must learn
Technical specs about your unit to make things run smooth,
In an effort to find an energy source our company's learned
The cheapest way to keep his battery running is with booze,
Plug it in, give it a name, man of the house, help sustain
Wear the pants, you can relax, one of the pack, nuculear fam (literally nuclear)
Brings us to the safety chapter,
Section 87 in your handbook subsection 16 entitled:
Troubleshooting
Fuel sources are at a slight risk of mixing,
With the crispy plutonium center
Of your automated new spouse and then driven,
Possibly leading to the unpredicted stimulation of its artificial emotion circuits.
And in a few unsubstantiated clinical trials this condition
Has led to simulated feelings of resentment and worthlessness
Manifested in the highly unlikely but still possible act
Of physical aggression towards you and your loved ones fleshy surfaces.
Remember, no cash returns.
Only credits towards future purchases.
''Why are you making me hurt you?
I love you.''
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but
someone else
I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's
gone away
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my
dying day
[Chorus:]
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say it's hard to
make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my
hands up to the sky
[Chorus:]
7. Can I Play With Madness
[Smith / Dickinson / Harris]
Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place
[Chorus:]
Can I play with madness - the prophet started at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laught at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see
I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son
- I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire
- Wasted Years ~ Iron Maiden
I really feel for them and the life they endured (being away from there loved ones) to do something they love, and what others love also.
Aesop Rock - Bent Life Lyrics
{Aesop Rock}
Yo
I take 10 steps with a bedlamped vision
Study the disorders we've absorbed inside the village
I understand the plagues and shake hands with my grimace that
remain up in
my face like top to bottom train car feelings
Lets question the ascension of a broken social icon in various
domino affect
I'm blow this hex over the mission
Just to administer the indoor sucker punch toward its pitiful
condition
{C-Rayz Walz}
With no alibi love is used as a guide by the civilized
Some see it as the body heat you feel when you close your eyes
That's so much of a lie, you can leave your hair dyed and scorch
your roots
As the truth hits your ears begin to cry
"Why Is It Like This!" Why the **** do I care?
I don't have the answers, or at least the ones you want to hear
City lights look like bright groups of fire flies
Many see the truth (the proof) only when the liar dies
Tires screech to a halt, the ground cries
Spit sparks speak to the streets
The skid marks are replies
Read discussions of what we rode through entrenched in the
vocals]
The hopeless stay hopeful (the toxic fumes choke you)
As I walk out my door, step into the pollution
(I breathe in the problems) exhale solutions
Physically the situation's hard to stop
I had a wicked jump shot and sold crack rock on back blocks
Casualties in this apocalypse (street chronicle)
abnormal abdominals (push-ups phenomenal)
Relaxin drinking my 6-pack maxing
faxing my thoughts on the satellite, via Donahue (push it)
Table talk, salt and pepper conversation
Integrated sectors, metropolis and mecca
It's a conspiracy (you know), I can't lie dukes
Sometimes I feel the rats got a better deal than I do
{Aesop Rock}(Chorus)
It goes thieves, bandits, low lives, scum
Punks that buckle under the rumble of my drum
Steadily searching for something new under the sun
But its stagnant, act of development burst of madness
Thieves, bandits, low lives, scum
Punks that buckle under the rumble of my drum
Steadily searching for something new under the sun
But its hurtin, act of development first diversion
{C-Rayz Walz}
A new universe in ancient, so I stay patient
In a gravel pit, travelin thoughts and ravelin, pacing
Embracing light of America, and found a shade of darkness
(underground)
The traincar used to be my apartment
Sick of people rushin in the doors before I get out
Conductors closing the doors before I get in, I shout
"The Biz is Coming, The Biz is Coming!"
Don't get worried now (We've been in a cold world!)
We just getting flurries now?
{Aesop Rock}
Yeah, its like slowww dooowwwn,
You're movin much to fast to bust through the finale fashioned
glass
Its delicate demeanor and I teach you how to hang
But we like 19 7 something 20 clicks outside Danang (dear
obedience)
I apologize for the faulty academics
but they placed us in a miserable stasis
I let bygones be bygones
But tryin to see eye to eye with the faceless
just aint working the way the manual paints it
See I soak in a blue note factory
While most cats hassle bandits lamping solo
And when the last red brick topples over the earth
to intercept your crooked little mess
I can be found in a social coma directly to your left
Engaged in a conversation, a marvel with my breath
Regarding how to document the shady baby steps
I bounce checks like a modern man
Sleep with one eye open while the other two drift
together specimens from the promise land
This for the thinkers
This for the urchins allergic to they own stingers
This for the absurd verdict linkers
This for that cat at my shows that's always got prophetic
opinions
but cant remember where his drink is
I'm wallowing, shrugging I'm plugging your corporation
Cause we alley cats addicted to the sickly warped sensation
Answer this: when all that's said and done
are you a memorable troop or just a lab rat on the run
Choose one
{Chorus}
One of my top 3 songs of all time
TOOL - Aenima Lyrics
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car.
It's a
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks
Here in this hopeless f**king hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f**king time. Any f**king day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.
Some say a comet will fall from the sky.
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will cuz
I sure could use a vacation from this
Silly shit, stupid shit...
One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
Learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon.
Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Learn to swim.
F**k L Ron Hubbard and
F**k all his clones.
F**k all those gun-toting
Hip gangster wannabes.
Learn to swim.
F**k retro anything.
F**k your tattoos.
F**k all you junkies and
F**k your short memory.
Learn to swim.
F**k smiley glad-hands
With hidden agendas.
F**k these dysfunctional,
Insecure actresses.
Learn to swim.
Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.
I wanna watch it go right in.
Watch you flush it all away.
Time to bring it down again.
Don't just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
Welcome any change, my friend.
I wanna see it all come down.
suck it down.
flush it down.

Renegades of Funk isn't a party song. It's a "let's-go-burn-suburbia-and-kill-cops" song. It's fun to listen to, but there is a rather serious subject matter under there. Besides which, I can't imagine why you would post a "partay song" in a thread about lyrics with meaning.
