Intro:
Mike Marshall: Who's that screamin'?
Grouch: Straight from the heart/
That's how I write man/
Basic is smart/
And that's how I live.
I wanna be that so/
I gotta say this now.
It's part of me/callin' me/follow me in...
Mike Marshall:Watch watch watch watch what you ask for - you just just just might get it.
You act act act like you want more/Grouch is that yes he is.
Verse:
Grouch:
They say that it never rains/
In Southern California - they lied/
I'm in my studio paintin'/
Lot of people died/
The big wave came and/
Gotta love the life I lead and how it keeps changin'/
Age and wisdom come together like a couple who love well/
I bust another nut - then I'll buckle up my belt/
If I could sell the world my story I wouldn't be broke/
The world has got enough for all/
Go on and need folks!/
But I don't mean meals at a square/
I see myself greater than that - man I'm a player/
And that's the old-school clean kind an adolescent a adolescent teen kind/
You should know what I mean - right there/
Instant vantage can you manage I'm in it to break limits/
Make 'em smile not a grimace/
Twelves woofin' not ten-inch/
Thoughts endless/
Talk to build men/
It's all too relevant/
Raw yet eloquent...quent...quent

Verse:
Grouch: They say that people are strange/
When you're a stranger - that's true/
I'm out in cyberspace lurkin'/
Lotta' people know/
I did too much perkin'/
Had to put the bottle down to keep on workin'/
Search and find who you are and then decide who you gonna' be/
They don't go together - you'll forever just wannabe/
If you could see the future right now/
You wouldn't be lost/
But you can shape tomorrow today/
That tip is free boss/
I do mean without restraint/
I see this world as a canvas - get the paint/
And that's the candy flakes/
Not that Earl Chai cheap coat you try to compete with/
That you cain't/
Listen fella' can you follow no yella' I rock hella' level-head don't swell up/
There's more good develops/
Thoughts endless/
Talk to build men/
It's all too relevant/
Raw yet eloquent...quent...quent
