Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 over:
This one is dedicated to the excitable ones
Not the possum playin' dead messin' with my head
X-amount of action, x-amount of game
Four years again and I'll tell you the same, ohooh
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Gone already to the bored of it all type, lingo that
I'm seeing every single night I'm out
Bustin' head for it, but your's gets busted right back
Lip split and
---> Play Riff 2 (muted) over:
I messed up, but I got back trying,
Don't bother lying about
Constant disappointment,
But the fun is in the hunt so quit acting on a front, yeah
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Unmotivated, sorta faded
But the remedy is not so get on with what you got
---> Play Riff 4 over:
Remember Lady of Guadalupe
The times my mother made mole
After mass we would get home, the girls running to the phone
In my bedroom, 45's on my record player was (scratches)
[We're in this love together...]
At the time I never realized how songs conjured up
The ones that I heard, I played it because I wanted
Drawing on my wall from time and time in coolin'
Making creatures come, live with no schoolin'
---> Play Riff 5 over:
When I'm on the microphone
The message that I'm make is much patience
The message that I'm make is much patience
I wait for the beat and then I make sense
I'm coming in hot forgot you definitley got no clue
I'm coming in hot you got you definitley got slow groove
Boy acting coy but you got nuts like Almond Joy
I tell ya this is a tribute
---> Play Riff 1 over:
No one looks as foolish as the excitable ones
But then again there is no one that has this much fun
X-amount of action, x-amount of game
For years again and I'll tell you the same, whoa oh oh
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Once I met a man who made nearly no mistakes
He would never bet on a longshot and he'd never been on a break and
He's condescending and talks gossip galore,
The dude was definitely such a bore, yeah
---> Play Riff 2 (muted) over:
I messed up, but I got back trying,
Don't bother lying about
Constant disappointment,
But the fun is in the hunt so quit acting on a front, yeah
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Unmotivated, sorta faded
But the real man is not the one hiding behind the gunshot
---> Play Riff 4 over:
Time traveling through my memory
There's a younger Doug, gazing at the galaxies
Space driven vato from the stars
Searching for UFO's from Neptune to Mars
Ode to an alien, I know you're out there
Cosmic lonely heart, tell me if you care
I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground
I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground
---> Play Riff 5 over:
When I'm on the microphone
The message that I'm make is much patience
The message that I'm make is much patience
I wait for the beat and then I make sense
I'm coming in hot forgot you definitley got no clue
I'm coming in hot you got you definitley got slow groove
Boy acting coy but you got nuts like Almond Joy
I tell ya this is a tribute
---> Play Riff 6 over:
I'm vexing many mofo's but I'm wishing you the best
I keep about half my lyrics and I throw out the rest but
Cause fly on by, you can if you want to
---> Play Ending (x1)
The method that makes sense is patience
