Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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

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

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

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

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

 But my flag got captured and I fell between the cracks

 My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap

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

 Those whipper snappers, they got trapped old chap

 They lost the way, they never had the right map

 Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back

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

 Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals

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

 Roaming through the high land, young bucks invincible

 Echoes in my brain, if kids report to the principle

Chorus

Substance dulls the mind

 Traife wine clouds the heart

 You can't sew a stitch with one hand

 While you're taking it apart

Bright lights might look nice

 But they sure won't make you sharp

 You can't sew a stitch with one hand

 While you're taking it apart

 Yeah, misty morning and my mom's a mess

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

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

 To ponder I wander off hoping to catch my breath

 And hold it, mold my memories from untold scripts

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

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

 Seasons change in white plains, but we remain alert

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

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

We walk the halls with a grimace

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

 For instance

 I listen, see it all with basketball court vision

Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction

 We lean back in the calmest position

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

Chorus

Riff

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

No more war, there won't be anymore hunger

No jealousy, not even competition

 Let go, release, you hold the keys

Time we evaporate into the breeze

We are nothing, we are something

 Let go, release, you hold the keys

 It's time we evaporate into the breeze

 We are nothing, we'll be something

Welcome to the desert of my soul

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

There's room for one more
