Temper Anthem

(专辑： This And Of That - 2006)

I told you something different
And you didn't listen
But when it's something of your interest
You found ways to make it your business
Now I'm missing the sentence you lent with your essence
And you believed that your presence
Would over ride mine with a lesson
Leaving an impression
But instead I ignored you
Like I was bored and it floored you
Hurting worse than a sore tooth
Your core grew blue and black
And you threw attacks as the concrete with your feet thinking
It would make it better at least
Settle your rage cause I didn't give full attention
To the topic engaged
Mentally you would have enslaved my brave heart
And engraved from the start
Of the conversation
Was intuition telling me
Yelling in fact
That I should turn around now cause this shit could get
Wack

When you conversate you either walk away
With more concentrated energy than you came
Or exhausted and not quite feeling the same

When you conversate you either walk away
With more concentrated energy than you came
Or exhausted and not quite feeling the same

A penny for a thought
A thousand dollars for 30 seconds of meditation
Hey yo guess what I bought (what?)
Three grand in patience and a million pages
To say shit to
Instead of you
Who would waste the information I grew
Tasteless space heads making living faces look dead
You critical cynical bit the bate the the hooks red
Interrogate what the book said
Cause the pages eradicated what you learned instead
Perfection is gained through where you're at
And where you want to be
I'm my own psychiatrist
Cause talking to myself is free
You're walking like an elf that's three feet high
And more mighty than his size
You'll be finding a prize in a world called compromise
Instead your off in skies of your own
Signal on rome no intentions of going home
While I'm showing you this poem
If it's distractions that keep satisfaction in self
Than keep attracting that
But don't get mad at no one else

When you conversate you either walk away
With more concentrated energy than you came
Or exhausted and not quite feeling the same

When you conversate you either walk away
With more concentrated energy than you came
Or exhausted and not quite feeling the same

How come you always pull that stupid shit in front of me
You're embarrassing and no one cares to see where you be
I hate it when you even think about speaking
Well when you speak on what you're thinking I laugh and
Watch you weaken

Well well going off the deep end must be an every day
Thing
Woah, woah, woah, what you sayin?'
I'm saying you and me can't hang
Aww, that's too bad
Why?
Cause I could have shared something
What could you possibly
Teach me?
The power of killing assumption

See, this compilation of words doesn't have to be negative
The conversation preferred is conducted with
Proper etiquette
Like I speak? Then I speak
Each energizing in due timing
I'm glad you're getting it now lets settle it with some rhyming

We like the confidence of talking sense without the Negligence
We now have more respect and less regret to what we said if we
Checked our step and every breath before we spoke
This world would be swirled in a gallery of hope
