* I took this photograph soaking wet
 
 After an 8-ball's cataract broke a jazz face threat
 
 The same touch to the chest of a young musician
 
 He wrote his own eulogy with cocaine hands
 
 Heroin arms, Novocain undies
 
 Long since dropped in the room for dead [animals]
 
 Off of the dome, sh*t I'm off of the phone
 
 Off of the couch, off track
 
 I've been OTB with a stub and a heart murmur
 
 A flask and a fanny pack
 
 A bastard on any track
 
 (C'mon) Daddy needs a new Megatron
 
 Cause the die cast was metal and blasted his left arm
 
 You should've viewed how it affected John
 
 He's an erected brother, choose to burst loose from the black panther
 
 Cannonballing from mattresses into puny little fragments
 
 Gleaming white under the black light
 
 Well that's a random journal entry from scissor-hand nostalgia
 
 Powers down to transfers
 
 To somewhat like the methodology of bare-knuckle compassion
 
 A train wreck waiting to happen
 
 Spelled out in refrigerator magnets
 
 G-R-O-W-N-A-S-S-M-A-N, Duckin' his own death threats
 
 We stay fresh (What?)
 
 You microscopic Sally Struthers with a lobster bib, munchin' on white platelets
 
 Epiphanies lead battle soprano
 
 Come back to dead friends, the hardest way to get sent
 
 You motherf**kers don't have grit, you're all teenage poetry, martyrs without causes
 
 Move onwards to the pin with this (test)
 
 Motherf**ker, did I sound abstract?
 
 I hope it sounded more confusing than that
 
 My priority was found under the arm of an economy-sized mousetrap 
 
 I dedicate this to Matt Doo (thank you)
 
 My name is El-P, I produce and I rap too
 
  
  You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
 
 You're not promised tomorrow
  
 
 Yo, yo
 
 A bottle [rocket], conflicted, I'll throw you a flaming [wingnick]
 
 Looking for a hero's stars, Looking for heart in the halls
 
 I swear, that lust monkey sweat soaks my balls 
 
 And this is one step from a junkie living, breakin in doors
 
 [My face low], for thermonucleus games
 
 Spill rain the open drain, who the f**k is down to steal me some pain
 
 I'm feeling ancient with this sh*t, on some capitalist order scripts
 
 I'm lit, trying to draw this figure eight with a twig
 
 As if the symmetry alone is the perscription to live
 
 The rusty touch throughout the tongs are working, plummeting in
 
 This is a far cry from the prevalential focus of things
 
 Another rally 'round the family 'til the quota complete
 
 My generation is beautiful, [all the rep hold the bliss]
 
 Wet ears, and adjust the mood 'til my final exit
 
 Plus we torture on the traumas in exact moon script
 
 Tuned Mass Damper baby, yeah, that's the sh*t
