A Kid Again

I wish I was a kid again
I met some friends, they’re in my head
Dad was pissed when I wet the bed
Ryan Nyquist bike in the shed
6 piece chicken only $5 buckaroos
Potato wedges and that Mountain Dew
NBA live 2002
Some were getting by, I was getting through
Rooted for Houston cos I liked Yao Ming
He was tall like me and didn’t fit in
LG phones you could hit me on my flip
Too afraid to talk to the honey dips
Never was myself cos I thought I wasn’t cool
Turned 27 now I’m going back to school
Rap game’s been bad to me
Messed up my anatomy
Now my perspective’s skewed
Judging by the news, we’re all screwed
Used to go to Foot Locker just to look
I read spark notes, not the book
Chopped not slopped, every hook
Before Lil B even learned to cook
Harsh realities of life got me down
Reminiscing on lost friends hometowns
Used to skateboard like Rodney Mullen
Then I got an Xbox, now I’m cooling
Before I transformed into the super
Had a friend who rode motorized scooters
Plus he’s nice on the computers
Hooked us up with lime wire, now we’re living in the future
If I had a tumor I’d name it after a gym teacher
Always came in last, blamed it on my damn sneakers
Throw Some D’s, that was the heater
In science class measuring the beakers
We ruled the Oxford valley mall
Sorta like Jeter and baseball
Got kicked out of FYE
No one to kiss on New Years Eve
Sometimes I didn’t wanna be me
Put in a cd and zone out to the Beasties
We were all learning at our own pace
Now it feels like I’m trapped in the rat race
Back in the days when I was young
MTV Jams, soaking up sun
Remember loving snow days?
Now you gotta hope the roads paved
We’re all chasing our tails
One day we’ll prevail
But I like to think
Back when Capri Sun was my favorite drink
Sinking in my seat
Nowadays would that kid be proud of me?

Take me to my happy place
YMCA Saturday’s
Playing basketball
Listening to Mac Mall, C-Bo
And other rappers you don’t know
Played my first show at a college in Lancaster
Cleared the dance floor
Made $47 bucks
But I still needed more
Couple hundred views on YouTube and I’m still hungry
The pursuit of happiness, saw a little money
Sold my first download
Giving out cd’s at my shows
Switch to freak mode
I got records to unload
Networking with superhero’s
Jet jaguar, solving mysteries like Darryl Zero
That’s the cause and effect
Of giving it all till ya had nothing left
My girlfriend help me get my first vinyl pressed
I’ll love her forever
One day we’ll get married, ain’t it clever
They switched the lever on Lance Hunt
Remember playing Man Hunt
Used to be in a band once
Doom lost his fronts
Well I had braces
Back when the world was filled with strange faces
Crawling up the stairs at my grandmas
Playing tech decks
Now I see a psychiatrist cos I’m so depressed
My fists full of stress
Wishing I was Batman, a vigilante billionaire
If love conquers fear, how come I’m still scared
They walk through me, talk as if I wasn’t there
Invisible man
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Maybe I’m in too deep like Sum 41
Can’t back out now, the album ain’t done
I ain’t got none, but Jesus had dreads, so shake em
Peanut butter Elvis, with the candied bacon
That’s amazing, talk silly
Won the super bowl and brought it back to Philly
You can’t kill me, I’ll live on through my LP’s
All because somebody helped me
And I’ll help you too
Immortality ain’t that hard to do
Darko’s anthem, extra mannish
Over their heads, like I was speaking Spanish
They act like I talk in codes
But maybe you just to listen too slow

Don't Stray

When they read you your rights
My dead head took flight
I took the night off and felt guilty about it
On the drive home I shouted
Fuck
Down and outta luck
Stuck
Trying to trust my gut
Lit a fire under my ass
But I only sat and burned
Waiting for my turn
Insanity defined
My best friend dropped a gem
That stays on my mind
Life is just a ride
Lost in America, trying to survive
Capitalism wants to kill everyone I love
Happiness is a warm gun
A hole in your head
A call from the feds
The burden piles
They’re still in denial
And I’m still a child
100 miles and running
Comfortably numbing
Sun in and sun out
Life’s like boogie nights, if they took all the fun out
You’re strung up and hung up
The first cut is so deep
You end up living on the street
Asking me for cash but I’m broke
Your face showed no hope
Nasty habits got you down
The weight of a frown
The first time I saw a sad clown
In the Wawa parking lot
It was dark and cold but your hell was hot
You made me lie to your sister
Your family was worried
I thought the next time I see you, you’d be buried
Sprinkled with fairy dust
The king of dreams, life as a teen shouldn’t be so rough
You got a girlfriend and knocked her up
Tried the pennyroyal tea
Everything ain’t what it seems
Praying to a god you don’t believe in to get clean
In and out of rehabs
The same scene rehashed
Love’s gonna get ya
Wheeled off in a stretcher
And your son looks just like you
I was done wanting to fight you
And whatever demon was inside you
I was done being lied too
I had my own issues and vices
I was done being your sidekick
We grew up and went our separate ways
And I’m glad we both were saved

Sears Poncho

This ain’t another somber love song
About the things I’ve done wrong
Sometimes ya gotta shout, let it all out
Like Tears for Fears
I don’t know why I’m here
Feeling like an alien from outer space
It’s written all over your face
Maybe I’m the one with bad taste
A case of the yesterdays
My flesh is a cage
My home is a maze
I bend but won’t break
Your zen is so fake
Your vibes have just died
How do you fit a mind inside that little head of yours
Is that a real poncho, or a sears poncho?
Are those my thoughts or yours?
That’s not my beautiful wife
I don’t even know that girl
If I ever meet her, I’ll give her the world
Cos that’s the way the story goes
That’s all this fish bowl could hold today
Excuse me while I float away
Cos you got a funny way of looking at me
And I wanna know just what you see
This ain’t another teen angst
Coming of age track
This is a desperate man trying to get his brain back
Time lapsed and I melted off the wall
Let it go to voicemail next time death calls
There’s a difference between the dive and the fall
Laws are meant to evolve
The claws of the insane
Picked me a part on lover’s lane
Fanning old flames
I don’t play devil’s advocate, that’s a rigged game
Search your feelings and find
Your dead inside that little head of yours
Is that a real poncho or a sears poncho?
Is that my face or yours?
That’s not my beautiful life
I’m losing the fight
Shooting up at night before shows
Cos that’s the way the glory goes
That’s all this fish bowl could hold today
Excuse me while I float away
Cos you got a funny way of looking at me
And I wanna know just what you see
Cos you got me singing like Biz Markie
And I wanna know just what you see in me
When we hug these mics we get busy
Come and have a good time with G-O-D
Make you snap your fingers or wiggle
Scream, shout, laugh and just giggle
Shake that body, party that body
Don't fuck with Darko you'll feel sorry
That's word, I'm not the herb
Understand what I'm sayin'

Sentimental Rap

What else do I gotta say?
Burning down the trailer park made me this way
The beastie boys and even third base
Since they gave us the gas face
Playing pinball with Zev love X, he was a wizard
Remember the lizards from Holes
The Truman show touched our souls
It was all a dream, hazy and new
Back when I was crazy for you
Now you make my stomachache
Like a punch in the face
Love got me caught in the chase
I’m wide awake when I should be sleeping
Working for the weekend
They tossed me in the deep end
Too late to save a drowning witch
My nervous twitch
You make me sick
I cried to the point of suicide
Called up the hotline, couldn’t get through
My head spun, back when everything was true
A light shined through
But I didn’t have a clue
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
Take me back, before it fades to black
I’m a sentimental fool with a sentimental rap
What else do I gotta do?
Some days I rue the maze that grew
Inside my heart
It’s like trying to find a place to park
The only humans on Noah’s ark
A poet and his muse
A poor man singing the blues
A broken heart and you were the glue
A pimp and his golden tooth
The man who sold the moon
Just to buy the world
To give it to a girl
Unrequited love makes me wanna hurl
All the butterflies and vanilla chocolate swirls
Diamonds and pearls
Going out of business sales
Postcards in the mail
Christmas cookies got stale
Now the cops are on my tail
Rotting in jail until you posted my bail
Who are the brain police?
Laser face with razor teeth
Jagged edges became rusted
Our friendship ain’t a dime a dozen
There’s nothing I could’ve done
The loneliest number is the number one

Go Harry
02:13
|

I used to know a guy named Harry
He carried on about needing an escape
I never did find him scary
But the fun loving guy kinda lost his way
See Harry was a friend of mine
Hearing voices in his mind
Telling him to kill his innocence
He turned deranged and villainous
Jumping off the roof into the abyss
Harry joined the army and found his bliss
Watching the fire turn green
He don’t use jelly, he uses magazines
A fiend for the red dot sight
Harry never slept at night
Causing more delirium
That’s when he started hearing em
Thoughts of murder, seeing bombers burn
Harry couldn’t wait to take his turn
Popping pills to stay awake
The war ended but he stayed in outer space
Harry didn’t care for dinner dates
He saw for himself a different fate
While I was turning 808’s to drum breaks
He was building bombs not seeing straight
Joined a local group at the VFW
Wherever we went, Harry and them knew
My fiancé was a politician
True to her beliefs unlike the rest
She wasn’t corrupt like Harry
His crew saw the government as a threat
Death weighed heavy on Harry’s head
Like a crown of thorns on a prince
He agreed to be the one to blow up the spot
And pop the good year blimp
Strapped with explosives ready to send a message
My fiancé and her colleagues ran towards the exit
.... But it was too late
One click of a detonator and he sealed their fates
Now I wander in depression, watching the daily news
One day I’ll get my revenge on the rest of Harry’s crew
