lyrics

I had a false start
I set some bad alliances
And everybody saw me walking
Head first into the lions den
No grudges
No remorse
I learned a lot from it
Lets all just move forth
Forward in force
Enforce a better mindset
Mind a modern marvel set in marble
Hard to dissect
Dropped out twice
Had to start teaching
Quit going to church
Had to start preaching
Part and parcel to being partial
To the full truth
Live love in praxis
To preach love's truth
I'm different
Check the differentials
At peace with the physical
And the existential
I'm mental. Mindful
Mind full of faith, too
Mind all the petty bits of evil
That I do

And I know and I know
That there's gotta be something more
There's just got to be something more
Just gotta be something
And I know and I know
That there's gotta be something more
There's just got to be something more
To you to me to us to all of it
You me us all of it
All of it all of it all of it

I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low
To some that's three strikes to me that's just life
Wait. Strike that. Struck out and struck down
Stuck on the staying alive and in the right now
Put this in to your pipe
and bite down
Hard pill to swallow
He's been smoking a lot now
I don't think he's coping
He's not really open
He's not really in a mind state that let's hope in
Hopefully he'll change
His hope isn't the same
Heart, head, lungs, and liver victims of
things he did to maintain
Hack the mainframe
Minds are like computers
With no planned obsolescence
Just ready for the future
Let them be Veblen
When wallowing and reveling
Rife with the struggle and strife
Of being better than
Friends on paper
Battle to the bitter end
And when it all ends
Well, it just ends

about

Brian is Ze Houston, Texas

Brian is Ze is a lyricist and producer from Houston, TX. Fearless, bereft of fucks, and always on some new shit, Ze pioneered an era of aggresively socially conscious art in Houston. With rap style ripped from the mouths of the hip hop pantheon brandished with a scythe of pure wit and production like 8 genres ate each other, it's like a record store had a brawl and Ze won. ... more
