Launch
1. Welcome Aboard:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in preparation for takeoff, please make sure your seatbelt is fastened low and tight across your lap, and your seatback is positioned anyway you damn well please. Enjoy the ride, and thank you for flying Stick 'Em Up."
2. KBULL-TV:
Cannot pull out from hypnosis,
Just my television, my psychosis,
Sucked into this world I'm viewin',
Got no time to sort it out,
It's with my mind it's screwin'.
Talk show game host, Ginsu nation.
Here's how to order hits from the 80's collection.
Brave new country, new world order,
Flash before my eyes, eyewitness news reporter!
It don't mean nothin' to me,
Sit around all week long,
Watchin' my cable TV!
Unlimited channels it seems,
I'm goin' nuts here,
Can't get my eyes off the screen, woha!
I'm in love with everything that comes on my TV.
Yeah, it's all I really need.
Too much static so I switch it up to channel 3,
Just my remote control, my couch, and me.
Discovery Channel, public access, Nick at Night and MTV,
Yeah it's all I really need!
Holy rollers, line dancin' telethons with Jerry Lee,
Buy eight get one for free.
Well it don't mean nothin' to me,
Sit around all week long,
Watchin' my cable TV!
Unlimited channels it seems,
I'm goin' nuts here,
Can't get my eyes off the screen, woha!
Lalalala-Lalalala-Lalalalalala-Lalalala!
3. Coincidence:
3 A.M. in the morning,
My house, it's cold, it's dark, it's quiet and I'm lonely, yeah.
Body's achin' from the worry,
And all the heartache that you left me in. Ah!
Just don't feel right, reflection from the streetlight,
The last taxicab hustles home to bed.
So you run to the river 'cause the river won't dry up,
I need some space, a place to clear my head! Ohnonononononono.
Is this a coincidence that the world I'm livin' in
Has got me on the ground? Got me in a pinch?
Hell from above has left me all alone,
Could this be my fault? Did I stray when I roamed?
Watch out!
I'm devoid of feeling.
I wanna know, I wanna know how long will it last? Yeah.
Destiny, my life's in rhythm,
It leads away, it leads away, I gotta push 'em past.
So I say, so I say, so I say, so I say, I say:
"I've come a long way, Come a long way,
Come a long way, now you show some respect for this boy!"
"I've come a long way, Come a long way,
Come a long way, now you show some respect for this boy!"

4. Sweet Sally Crackhead:
Sweet Sally Crackhead said she wants to kill her daughter.
Found her down on her knees giving blowjobs in the parlor.
Back alley wino with a red nose said he is her father.
Last seen rubbing two nickels together, trying to get a quarter, and:
Doesn't this remind you of yourself?
Your life is hell.
With her welfare checks, her fake furs, her Rolex,
She hits the street, her beat is 100th and Lex.
Fishnet stockings, that dress: She's a mess.
She's the best at what she does, money for love, and:
Doesn't this remind you of your-
Any of this remind you of yourself?
Your life is hell.
The car pulls up to the curb,
She steps in and as the doors lock,
She says, "Let's drive to the warehouse,
It's out past the docks."
Where no one can see her, and no one really cares.
Won't go to hell, because she's already there.
Closes her eyes and life just isn't fair,
Down on her knees, and she just does it.
Any of this remind you of your-
Any of this remind you of yourself?
Your life is hell.
5. Answer Rhythm:
Me take a bus, Me take a car, Me take a boat, take a trip,
Me take it easy. Don't you know me try the best just to find you? Baby!
Me take a bus, Me take a car, Me take a boat, take a trip,
Me take it easy. Don't you know me try the best just to find you? Baby!
They kick and they fight over a parking space on Saturday night,
Put on their village face I believe it's alright to kick their ass out of town,
Born and bred white, poverty's so cool. Your parents who live on,
Madison Avenue while some of us just suffer to live.
It's me, my beeper, my car, my brand name. It's me, I'm a fashion punk with all the accessories.
Talk and they talk about the struggle and the price they pay,
Take up my space, what a waste of humanity!
You follow the trend you're a bolt on the treadmill,
You're giving them what they want they'll have control of you next year. (Right!)
Who's telling who you're any better then the next man?
You're giving them what they want they'll have control of you next year! Right!
Me take a bus, Me take a car, Me take a boat, take a trip,
Me take it easy. Don't you know me try the best just to find you? Baby!

Put on their village face I believe it's alright to kick their ass out of town,
Born and bred white, poverty's so cool. Your parents who live on,
Madison Avenue while some of us just suffer to live. Hear me now!
It's me, my beeper, my car, my brand name. It's me, I'm a fashion punk with all the accessories.

Ba!
6. No Time:
You say, we should be together again.
I know, I'd never let it be.
No way, I'll never let it happen again.
I learned my lesson the last time around.
(Hut hut hut hut hut hut hut hut, etc…)
I don't have the time time,
To be making up my mind mind mind mind mind mind mind.
Time to draw the line line,
For the time,
For my mind.
Say I come, say I come, say I come from the country,
Where nothing they can do or say,
Can ever touch me.
See I run, see I run, see I run and I try to get away now.
Everything that I've never done, I'll try to do today now.
(Hut hut hut hut hut hut hut hut, etc…)
Tttttitime,
Mmmmmimimimimimimind,
Llllliline,
For the time,
For my mind.
This is around but the wrong thing happened.
This is around about what she said.
This is around about the time that's passin'.
This is around about the wrong man dead.
This is around but the wrong thing happened.
This is around about what she said.
This is around about the time that's passin'.
This is around about the wrong man dead.
I don't have the time time,
To be making up my mind mind mind mind mind mind mind.
Time to draw the line line,
For the time,
For my mind.
7. Mechanically Inclined: (Instrumental)
8. SOS:
Thought I'd died and gone to heaven,
When I pulled up to that 7-11.
She had legs from the ground up to her shoulders.
My heart's so fast I grew 10 years older!
I knew that girl could never love me.
She could never care a bit.
She sees herself so far above me.
With legs like that, who gives a shit?!
Goin' through the same old shit,
Same old shit, but it's a different day!
Maybe soon I will learn,
That I'm just dreamin' my life away!
After I left I realized,
I'd forgotten the purpose of my trip.
I pulled a U-turn at the next red light.
When I got back to the store I had to bite my lip.
Goin' through the same old shit,
Same old shit, but it's a different day!
Maybe soon I will learn,
That I'm just dreamin' my life away!
At the door it had to be her sister.
She stood about 5 feet 6.
Needless to say, I wasted my day!
I made 14 trips just to get my kicks.
Goin' through the same old shit,
Same old shit, but it's a different day!
Maybe soon I will learn,
That I'm just dreamin' my life away!
9. Rambo Cop:
Hey pig, where are you?
What's up with all the trouble that you put me through?
I try so hard to be good, I just wish I could.
Police man, never let your hair down,
Goosestep and you're shakin' up the underground!
I've done no crime but still you follow me around.
Rambo cop, military goon squad, rollin' in the troops to the party down my block.
Wish so hard you'd go away and never come back pig pig pig piggie!
Oh lord, oh my god, why does everybody have to work so hard to make it in the world today? Pig pig pig pig pig piggie!
Oh lord, oh my god, why does everybody have to work so hard to make it in the world today? Pig pig pig pig pig piggie!
Hey cop, another cup of coffee for you to help you wash down some of that food
You use to feed your face, so you can go to the next donut place!
You line 'em up, take 'em to the precinct, stand in line,
Chained to the slop sink!
This time you've gone too far! Thank God I stashed my dope in your police car!
Rambo cop, takin' my fingerprints, snapshots and I'm up against a chain link fence!
This time you've gone too far, release me pig pig pig pig piggie!
Oh lord, oh my god, why does everybody have to work so hard to make it in the world today? Pig pig pig pig pig piggie!
Oh lord, oh my god, why does everybody have to work so hard to make it in the world today?
Break it down for me boys…
10. Swing Thing:
Well I'm thinkin' about the way you left me,
I'm thinkin' about the way you cared.
I'm thinkin' about the things that happened in between here and there.
Hey little baby, when it happened to you,
Did you feel the same as me?
Will you cry, or will you die,
Or will look up in the sky, will you get down on your knees? Hey!
Well I'm thinkin' about the way he left you,
I'm thinkin' about the way you cared.
I'm thinkin' about the things that happened in between here and there.
Hey little baby, when it happened to you,
Did you feel the same as me?
Did you cry, or did you die,
Or did look up in the sky, did you get down on your knees? Hey!
Well I'm thinkin' about the way he left you,
I'm thinkin' about the way you cared.
I'm thinkin' about the things that happened in between here and there.
Hey little baby, when it happened to you,
Did you feel the same as me?
Did you cry, or did you die,
Or did look up in the sky, did you get down on your knees? Hey! Watch out!
11. 29 Stalker (Dub Mix):
Strongly, I feel for everything,
Earth, trees and human beings.
But sometimes it seems,
You, don't look upon me,
With a bit of decency,
Question my integrity.
Long long time to get this state of mind:
Genuine in action with a sense of pride.
Reach for the diamonds and you come up with ice.
Pay for your actions as a sacrifice.
Say, this insane world, Say, this afraid world,
Not safe for the man, the woman, the boy nor girl.
Protect and prosper and obtain your goal.
Work in the daytime as you sweat and toil.
Said worldy, are all these boundaries.
So let the meek inherit me, but sometimes it seems,
You know, you don't look upon me,
With a lick of decency, question my integrity.
I see you when you're robbin' down the street somewhere.
Darkness over there,
Screamin: "Darlin'! Darlin'!
Darlin' won't you please come here!"
I see you when you're robbin' down the street somewhere.
Darkness over there,
Screamin: "Darlin'! Darlin'!
Darlin' won't you please come here!" Ba!

12. Every Now & Then:
Every now and then, I look into the light.
And every now and then, I do something right.
Every now and then, I say "I'm allright."
And every now and then, I say "This is outta sight."
Lonesome in the world, and I'm trying not to use.
Drugs are the things that I try not to abuse.
You are the one I can't afford to lose,
So hop on in with us and we'll take you for a cruise!
These are the rhymes that I keep inside my mind,
Everyday seems to bring more to the light.
Can you help? Can you help me make it right?
Can you help? Can you help me win the fight?
Do you see? Do you see inside of me?
Well there's me, another waste of breath by me.
Walkin' down the street, In a seat there seems to be,
A raccoon with a cow's head and he's looking back at me.
His drugs are the thing that I need to stop and do it.
Mr. Raccoon looks at me and then begins a-mooin'!
I think of all the times that I've been in this position,
A monkey on my back and my ass key is kickin'!
His drugs are the thing that I need to stop and do it.
So hop on in with us and we'll take you for a cruise!
These are the rhymes that I keep inside my mind,
Everyday seems to bring more to the light.
Can you help? Can you help me make it right?
Can you help? Can you help me win the fight?
Do you see? Do you see inside of me?
Well there's me, another waste of breath by me. Noah!
These are the rhymes that I keep inside my mind,

13. 40 Days:
All I want, 40 days, 40 days ago!
Same old show and I'm takin' tomorrow now! And,
I need another drink of that water now.
40 days, you know for 40 days!
I need another drink of that water now.
40 days, you know for 40 days!
That's allright, I got me a bottle of wine.
14. New Song:
2, 3:
I'm going to write myself a new song,
So I can play and sing it all night long.
I'm going to write myself a new song,
Because I'm ready to believe.
Enemy Enemy Enemy Enemy,
Please don't put your hands on me.
I'm trying not to grieve.
I believe I believe I believe I believe
In these things we cannot see,
I'm trying to receive.
I'm going to write myself a new song,
So I can play and sing it all night long.
I'm going to write myself a new song,
Because I'm ready to believe. Leave me…
Melody Melody Melody Melody,
Wrap yourself around me.
I'm trying to conceive.
I believe I believe I believe I believe
I'm going to write myself a new song,
So I can play and sing it all night long.
I'm going to write myself a new song,
Because I'm ready to believe.
I'm going to write myself a new song,
So I can play and sing it all night long.
I'm going to write myself a new song,
Because I'm ready to believe.
15. Black Lust:
Hey, ho, welcome to the real show,
Weed, wine, money, black lust, and nympho.
Non-stop action 'til we all go out on the town with your hands in pistol.
Mister, workin' in the yard,
Gotta work hard, gotta make a dime, make a dime somehow.
Money! Money in my hand, money come up, money come up,
Pressure pressure pressure gotta stop!
Forces underground, 6 feet underground.
I say money! Money! Money in my hands, money come up, money come up
Pressure gotta stop!
Pressure from the bottom and pressure up top!
Cold, grey is the cement, where I lay awatchin'
The pig in his uniform take a slug from his coffee
He bought with the money that he earns watchin',
Makin' sure that you and I stay on this cold grey cement,
Guilty am I, I sigh with a smile,
Of nothing more than being broke.
The crime with a punishment of a lifetime,
Except you can't stop the eternal denial of my freedom.
So I say: Hey, ho, welcome to the real show,
Weed, wine, money, black lust, and nympho.
Non-stop action 'til we all go out on the town with your hands in pistol.
Mister, workin' in the yard,
Gotta work hard, gotta make a dime, make a dime somehow.
Money! Money in my hand, money come up, money come up,
Pressure pressure pressure gotta drop!
Pressure from the bottom and pressure from the top!
All up in the air, wave your fist in the air.
Just another naked lady painted up somewhere.
Gotta work hard for the money in my hand.
Just another rude boy!

G-Funk:
Tall man, standing in the shadows,
My hand's, filling up the bags-o,
Ganja - smokin' till the sun goes down, I'm drowning in the water...
My friends, all keep telling me to
Stop that! Say wave bye-bye to the seeds who,
No Way! Right now I gotta get through,
Right now some of them want to kill you!
Don't Judge
Don't say it ain't the right way to get higher...

Stop that! Say wave bye-bye to the seeds who,
No Way! Right now I gotta get through,
Right now some of them want to kill you!
Don't Judge
Don't say it ain't the right way to get higher...
Some of them drink the wine, instead some of them drink the water
Some smoke the mace and some smoke the ganja
Some smoke the cracks and they do what they wanta!
Everybody doin' it say they want to get higher!
Some of them drink the wine, and some of them drink the water
Some smoke the mace and some smoke of them the ganja
Some sniff the cokes and they do what they wanta!
Everybody doin' it say they want to get higher!
Don't Judge
Don't say it ain't the right way to get higher...
Don't Judge
Don't say it ain't the right way to get higher...
