dj cummerbund - basketflies lyrics

[intro]
(dj c-mmerbund)
tell me!

[verse]
do you have the time to listen to me whine
about nothing and everything all at once
i am one of those
melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bone
no doubt about it

[chorus]
sometimes i give myself the creeps
sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
it all keeps adding up
i think i’m cracking up
because my dreams are bursting at the seams

[verse]
as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death
i take a look at my life and realize there’s nothin’ left
’cause i’ve been blasting and laughing so long
that even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
but i ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
me be treated like a punk you know that’s unheard of
you better watch how you’re talking and where you’re walking
or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
i really hate to trip but i gotta loc

[chorus]
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta’s paradise
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta’s paradise
keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta’s paradise
keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta’s paradise

[verse]
i went to a shrink
to -n-lyze my dreams
(to -n-lyze all my dreams)
she says it’s lack of s-x that’s bringing me down
i went to a wh0r-
he said my life’s a bore
(he said that my life’s a bore)
so quit my whining cause it’s bringing her down
i’m an educated fool with money on my mind
got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
i’m a loc’d out gangsta set trippin’ banger
and my homies is down so don’t arouse my anger, fool
death ain’t nothing but a heartbeat away
i’m living life, do or die, what can i say
i’m 23 now, but will i live to see 24
the way things are going i don’t know

tell me

[chorus]
sometimes i give myself the creeps
(sometimes i give myself the creeps)
sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
(sometimes my mind plays tricks on me)
it all keeps adding up
i think i’m cracking up
(i think i’m cracking up)
’cause everything is never as it seems
(when i fall asleep)

[bridge]
(tell me)
why are we so blind to see
that the ones we hurt are you and me
(it’s hard to say that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep)
tell me why are we so blind to see
that the ones we hurt are you and me
’cause everything is never as it seems
(when i fall asleep)

[verse]
i’d like to make myself believe
(sometimes i give myself the creeps)
that planet earth turns slowly
(sometimes my mind plays tricks on me)
it’s hard to say that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep
(it all keeps adding up, i think i’m cracking up)
because my dreams are bursting at the seams

[verse]
(oh, yeah!)
’cause i’d get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
a foxtrot above my head
a sock hop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread

[chorus]
i’d like to make myself believe
(power and the money, money and the power)
that planet earth turns slowly
it’s hard to say that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep
’cause everything is never as it seems

[verse]
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta’s paradise
(when i fall asleep)
(power and the money, money and the power)
’cause everything is never as it seems

[chorus]
keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta’s paradise
(i fall asleep)
minute after minute, hour after hour

[outro]
it’s hard to say that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep
’cause everything is never as it seems
