sage francis - needle lyrics
it’s the b-boy, its the mc, they cant read the grafitti
it’s the b-boy, it’s the mj, its the vj they cant read
the grafitti on the walls
[chorus:]
throw away my tools, scr-pe with my hands make as much
noise as i can banging on sand
i used to play in a band but those people are gone
now the turntable got a needle in it’s arm
i’m in a van flying without parachutes, wifey didn’t
plan to have marriage disputes
everytime i stand at the door to say goodbye, its like
shes watching her man go to die.
i packed in a rush but it was too fast for us, handed
me an ultimatum as i grabbed all my stuff
put a pillow in my briefcase i come with no rebates a
gaurantee of return when i leave state
i make mix tapes, but they’re cd-r’s
diggin in crates, do you see these scars?
they’re from big breaks that i stripped from a song,
now the turntable got a needle in its arm
flame on like burnin’, i’m burnin’, i’m burnin’, i’m
burnin’ but wait…
i fill up the milk crates, collect the lp’s
eric b laughin’ at me c-c-check out my melody
dj polo doin’ p-wn, terminator x on an ostrich farm
jam master j is gone and that’s a shame
they say its better to burn out quick than faddddeee
i toured the states with a guy named cr, he had nothin
but a tube of toothpaste and guitar
he was a soul brother, a baby mama back at home brother
a good reminder what it is to rock and roll brother.
mashed potatoes every meal and if it ain’t served outa
greasy spoon he don’t deal
real as it gets with a puff that don’t quit put him at
a piano and he smokes it
a blues man, to old to go back to school man, still
grinding it out but he already payed his dues man
i could see it in his face when he said sage brother i
gotta get out of this place
embar-ssed, he knocked me off balance truth of the
matter is you can’t live off raw talent
perhaps you could at one point but those days seem gone
now the turntable got a needle in its arm.
