Shrimp Fry

i don’t eat seafood fancy, i aint vigilant
i eat just like a fisherman
goin straight to the source,
cause the good shit usually aint at the stores
if i got too much of what i got then i’ll trade it for yours
all the problems of the world we created of course
down in florida i was eating alligators
hanging with weirdos, whistlers, caterers, waiters
i get along with people who wear overalls and waders
i don’t need no suit dummy, i’m a creator
come to think of it, i might need a lawyer later
i save my bacon fat for frying up tators
i hang with a blue eyed blonde bomb shell
she’s reading my wrinkles and stories that my palm tells
overcrowded heaven might lead to a calm hell
HOOK x2
only thing you can imply
summer days i’ll be at a shrimp fry
with a lazy and a limp eye
watchin blimps fly
i simply don’t do well with digital
i’m stuck in my ways, it’s habitual
when i eat something good it gets physical
my spine shivers and i see visuals
when my grandfather died i was cryin in the fetal
open casket in a cathedral
only time i ever saw him in a suit
ever since i was young he exposed me to the food
he owned a diner slinging livers and the onions
why you think i need to be carnivorous to function
my mind stops at the creek the river is runnin
every once in a while i let a sliver of sun in
every day i’m eating dirty stews,
somehow my waste size way under thirty twos
my diet’s a riot, i don’t suggest you try it
medical anomaly … health i defy it
HOOK x2
only thing you can imply
summer days i’ll be at a shrimp fry
with a lazy and a limp eye
watchin blimps fly
OUTRO
i found some bliss in the blue
i will not listen to you

shooting pool in a dive, watchin snowfalls,
sank a stripe on the break, but i’m pickin low balls
i don’t wear aprons i only wear overalls
spatula in the pocket, don’t knock it that’s the protocol
the amount of whiskeys big, but the soda’s small
didn’t just hang a picture, i rewrote the wall
matter fact, i bringin heart to a hopeless hall
breakfast was apricots and roasted almonds
if i’m eating eggs, then the yolks are crawlin across the plate
observing from all angles my heads off but it can oscillate
people bein honest get ostracized
dottin t’s … crossin i’s
if you try to find the truth
you gettin lost in lies, damn
kids made fun of all the stews in my thermous
but what made me strong made em squirmish
HOOK x2
we all got our
reasons
someones sunshine’s
someones rainy season
i’m on too much of a mission, i should take up fishin
i don’t think i’d sin if i wasn’t raised christian
a musician, but i’m into nutrition
every country got they’re own version of stew chicken
except america, i’m scared for america’s fate
cause immigrants make america great
steak and potatoes can be good but it gotta be done right
chimichurri with the lime for the sunlight
i used to be nervous askin who’s sick of this?
but inspiration’s everywhere it’s ubiquitous
now she tells me that she don’t do carbs
yeah she pretty but bitter like rhubarb
pullin up on the maj degan
oh my gosh with a osh kosh sellin posh mark panache vegan
i will admit she’s intriguing
but i need bacon for my day to begin
HOOK x2
we all got our
reasons
someones sunshine’s
someones rainy season

Back to Being Alone

i keep my stories to my self, now
our love was dope .. had to put it on a shelf, wow
back to being single, in river of wrinkles
toughen up, my skin turn into shingles
so the rain runs off and the tears drip
i’m tryin not to solve my problems with a beer sip
find a new lady maybe with some pierced nips
damn this life has been a weird trip
i thought it was disastrous .. it was a mere slip
bottom feeder eater but she was sweeter than syrup
that was new to me, a figment of my imagination,
i was wasted at graduation
rehashing my past,
we’re all fascinated with cash that is fast
my mustache is a mask shit
if you gotta question ask it, why?
cause tomorrow you might be in a casket
HOOK
back to being alone, i’m back
back to being alone, i’m back i’m back
back to being alone, i’m back
back to being alone, i’m back i’m back
i will remember you til the day i die
i shoulda asked you to marry me on a pretty day in may
you are so god damn pretty
the most beautiful woman in all of new york city
angel
breakfast was a bacon egg and cheese or a bagel
i would die holding your hand
together we could leave our skulls and souls in the sand
at low tide, then one wave
will come and save us from our grave
i know you like the way my mustache looks when i shave
so i’ll clean myself up before our final bathe
babe, i miss feedin you grapes
we had sex like apes
with the curtains open
but the carpets matched the drapes
when we made love it was escape
our love was worth all of the scars and the scrapes
HOOK
back to being alone, i’m back
back to being alone, i’m back i’m back
back to being alone, i’m back
back to being alone, i’m back i’m back

i’m a hard to reach hermit
bikin i don’t got a beach permit
turnin into florida man, more than sorta tan
insomnia beats takin a quarter xan
i flew south for the winter it was cold
i had splinters in my soul
you’re strong, no ones skin’s thinner than a trolls
i’ll be a beginner til i’m old
and i’m fine with it, life’s better with some wine wit it
if i make it i make it cause i ain’t tryna get it
thank god i ain’t allergic to shellfishes
don’t bother me, lemme relish this
okay i’m done it was delicious
we left on good terms sent her off with some well wishes
and not one part of it felt viscous
ever since i was a toddler
i want to be an otter
sun bathing on hot rock in the water
my friends call me Granatar
thinkin back there’s some shit i shoulda bought her
anything just to show her that i love her
just to get to know her was an honor
i can’t take it any longer,
she’s who i think about when i ponder
i know i didn’t but i can’t help but think that i pawned her
minds’ getting weak, wine to me beak
i eat it from the rind to the cheek
end cuts for the slow braise,
i want world peace, but i’ll settle for affordable co pays
and the government just continues to say no ways
they’re gonna hoard the money
and claim that they’re doing it for the country
besos
it’s up to you to redistribute your yen, dollars and pesos
i got friends who came from money, and came from nothing
but we all creating something
we all had a little bit of pain from the start
nothing harder than explaining your heart
i’m all for respecting my elders
i appreciate truckers, plumbers and welders
i was drinking beers, she was drinkin seltzers
didn’t really know real love til i felt hers
now i’m rambling
til i’m stuttering and stammering
luckily i never ever got into gambling
but when it comes to shootin pool i’m the champion
if i don’t sleep, i don’t sleep i don’t take ambien
i need all the nutrients lemme get ya salmon skin
started with a gram of gin, in a thimble
rockin a dirty stachebut i got dimples
keep it simple stupid, find a sample, loop it,
i got ample examples,
i got a sensitive soul it lacks enamel
after all i’m not a machine, i’m a mammal
