At All Songtext
von Scroobius Pip

Jazz man, this shit′s putting me to sleep
Let's liven things up a bit

Well I hope I die

Before I get sold
Keep my integrity

But then if I don′t

Then I'll make the most

Of what I get for me

What do you mean keep it real?
Can someone please explain

When reality's just light interpreted by your brain
And if mine and your perceptions ain′t one and the same

Which one of us is normal and which one is insane?


The skin never forgets a deep abrasion
Yet the brain often forgets deep conversations
This annoys me due to the nature of humanity
I remember the good not just the bad things that happen to me
And yet I understand the mind′s an intricate tapestry
But so is the skin and that still recalls damage
See this scar above my eyebrow from when I was a kid
And my skin has kept the record of the damage I did

Twenty-some years down the line from that very day
Documentation of carelessness and the price that you pay
Yet this over-complex brain that sits inside of my head
Can't remember the last thing to me my friend Jay said

I don′t wanna be just a void of desire
I don't wanna be another bird on the wire
I don′t wanna be just a log on the fire
I don't wanna be that at all

I′ve got a hobby that's erratic
It's complex like a schematic
I can′t hack it and I panic
And that makes it go pneumatic
Causing landfalls
Tearing up my inner thoughts

Screwed up poem don′t go too far

Song shouldn't be just blah blah blah
It′s screwed up poem don't go too far
Song shouldn′t be just blah blah blah
It's screwed up poem don′t go too far


Sometimes I think I'll live forever but I know I won't
And when I really should be working on my flow I don′t
I just sit here and read extracts from this note I wrote
Trying to find something that is worth a quote
Fixing up mad bitches like lobotomy stitches
When I find a tight rhyme you see my linkage riches
I ain′t into this game for the fame and riches
Came to write tight rhymes, street poems and scriptures
Don't know the point I′m making while I'm saying this out loud
Am I convincing myself or pandering to the crowd?

But you could hear every word and you would still never know me
Like Sean Penn could do ten Oscars and he′ll still be Spicoli

I don't wanna be just a void of desire
I don′t wanna be another bird on the wire
I don't wanna be just a log on the fire
I don't wanna be that at all

I don′t wanna be just a void of desire
I don′t wanna be another bird on the wire
I don't wanna be just a log on the fire
I don′t wanna be that at all

I don't wanna be just a void of desire
I don′t wanna be another bird on the wire
I don't wanna be just a log on the fire
I don′t wanna be that at all
I don't wanna be just a void of desire
I don't wanna be another bird on the wire
I don′t wanna be just a log on the fire
I don′t wanna be that at all

I don't wanna be that at all
I don′t wanna be that at all
I don't wanna be that at all
I don′t wanna be that at all
