Open Mike Eagle – Self Medication Chant Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

I fucked around and left the gate open
Sometimes I'm on point and sometimes the brain's broken
Like a dolphin and a carp share the same ocean
Sometimes I'm Space Ghost and other times Beethoven
At least by the hairdo
My twin in Rocky naps that a comb can't tear through
Stocking cap? No but a skull and everybeards blue and orange
In fond memories all the stress gets absorbed
My homies all fresh but the press kids ignore
I stretch then I yawn and my legs hit the floor
Can't stress bullshit no more
The earth is a disco ball, so I just go...

La, la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la

If it ain't great then forget the shit
I make weird shit, my muse shakes her head at it
Never quit floating on my own ocean
No motion of the waves, won't cave to commotion
Bro, I'm unchained, not a slave but devoted though
Can't be contained, got a name and I know it yo
Maintain, not a claim but an action word
And forward force is the same as a pachyderm's
Keep it reserved so it came off taciturn
When in my head it's a chainsaw massacre
Sometimes I gotta sing so I'm not obscene
So I won't forget they're humans and not machines
Every moment is a yank on the slot machine
No matter who your god is, your rank or philosophy
The whole concept of laws is a prank
Make you think you can put it on pause but you can't, go...

La, la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la, la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la

Knee trouble, stomach pain, patchy face stubble
Kid snot bubble running again
Pretend everything's fine when I'm climbing the walls
Tylenol days, nights spent roaming the halls
Ain't no laws to the universe
Those have all been human birthed
Noted it all in web crawls over Google search
Google Earth, Jupiter spot, the blocks Lucifer hot
I'm not super sure who's a pure human or not
I buy shadows and dream about tobacco
When O.G. blacks that got choked with a lasso
And roped to a lamp pole, shown as examples
Of how easily a man's world can get cancelled
A handful of sun spins pass
Now the last of the oral storytellers know nothing but horror stories
No glorious warriors tales
No inspiring titans fighting monsters or conquering environments, no
Nothing but loss
Keep the baton pops, don't bother dusting it off
Cause there won't be no more running
Cause after this moment right here
Right now there'll be nothing at all
