The Struggle
Scroobius Pip
4:14I saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "What did you expect? There's no water round here stupid, should've stayed where it was wet" Hello my name is Pip and I would like to speak some lyrics Into this microphone that's amplified so you can hear it This piece of diction is the intro to Distraction Pieces That's all the shit that flies around my head and keeps me sleepless Such little food for thought my fucking brain feels anorexic So many typos when I write, oh I'll claim I'm dyslexic I've got your poem here, I've put it in this envelope I'm setting fire to it, hope you all can read the smoke Most people where I live don't know me and I fucking like it Some people where I live don't like me and I fucking know it Some heads will know my name or give me a look since I flow kinda strange like Spina Bifida footprints Nothing's original, I stole this flow from the creator And from some others too, can't think right now I'll name them later If I say "fuck" a lot then I may gain more attention If I say "cunt" well then with some of you there will be tension I find this interesting 'cause in the end they are just words You give them power when you cower man, it's so absurd But all that was covered by Lenny Bruce back in the day Nothing's original, now I'm repeating what I say Paralysis through analysis could stop me here But that'd just be an excuse to run in fear So I'll brandish the blandest man's anguish with a rammed fist Directed at the throat of any man that can't withstand this I see these rappers that say things like "no homo" and such It always seems maybe the lady doth protest too much I'm really speechless but I speak less than you might imagine Sometimes I stutter and I sputter like the words are catching I'm known to write about the shit most people won't discuss Some find my muses too intrusive with their words and such You see a mousetrap, I see free cheese and a fucking challenge But you stay quiet for fear of tipping the balance When it's horses for courses my horse is distorted I bought it for four quid then forced it through horse shit We walk through these morbid remorseless discourses Then discuss these disgusting new sources I've seen the world, I've seen the good and the shitty bits And all I've gotta say is "Goddamn, y'all are fucking idiots" Some people heard my words and thought it meant they knew me Truth is I don't exist, I'm just a soundtrack to your movie Some background figure in a story that's already scripted And what I feel's just felt for you to hear me fucking spit it I jump in many different heads through these words and poems Always hoping maybe the next leap will be my leap home Ziggy says that if I keep writing this shit There's an 8% chance that Al can make it a pop hit But Al's an alcoholic and I'm a fucking schizophrenic
