     C majorC
Slap me Daft, we sat down in the back of the class

     E minorEm
To seize knowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass

     DmDm
But I'm early to a arrival beatbox, you got raps'

     E minorEm
Meet me on the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback

    C majorC
No one clapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class

    E minorEm
But my flag got captured and I fell between the cracks

  DmDm
My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap

  E minorEm
No matter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps

    C majorC
Those whipper snappers, they got trapped old chap

   E minorEm
They lost the way, they never had the right map

  DmDm
Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back

   E minorEm
So I picked for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle

     C majorC
Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals

   E minorEm
I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels

     DmDm
Roaming through the high land, young bucks invincible

    E minorEm
Echoes in my brain, if kids report to the principle

Chorus:
 FF
Substance dulls the mind

     DmDm
Traife wine clouds the heart

      A minorAm
You can't sew a stitch with one hand

       G+G
While you're taking it apart

 FF
Bright lights might look nice

     DmDm
But they sure won't make you sharp

      A minorAm
You can't sew a stitch with one hand

       G+G
While you're taking it apart


       C majorC
Yeah, misty morning and my mom's a mess

         E minorEm
To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed, life is a test

     DmDm
Make the grade or catch an F, now death is all that's left

   E minorEm
To ponder I wander off hoping to catch my breath

   C majorC
And hold it, mold my memories from untold scripts

     E minorEm
And roll up in a tornado twist, now I'm certain

      DmDm
There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth

             E minorEm
Seasons change in white plains, but we remain alert

             C majorC
When new school years appear fools fear for a failure and crawl away

  E minorEm
In tears, I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach

 DmDm
 We walk the halls with a grimace

           E minorEm
Yeah they gossip in groups, I try to mind my business and tell the truth

   C majorC
For instance

                      E minorEm
I listen, see it all with basketball court vision


Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
     DmDm
We lean back in the calmest position

         E minorEm
And embrace the honesty found within our tension, What's good'


Chorus

Riff

 A minorAm
Trapped in the elevator of your mind

Is it real, what will you find behind the door
Your imaginations put you in a bind
Around you there's a cloud of gloom
Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room
Can't see outside of your universe

 C majorC
 No more war, there won't be anymore hunger

 E minorEm
 No jealousy, not even competition


   DmDm
Let go, release, you hold the keys

 E minorEm
Time we evaporate into the breeze

 C majorC
We are nothing, we are something

   E minorEm
Let go, release, you hold the keys

   DmDm
It's time we evaporate into the breeze

  E minorEm
We are nothing, we'll be something

 C majorC
Welcome to the desert of my soul

     E minorEm
You can stay if you like, there's room for one more

 DmDm               E minorEm
 There's room for one more
