kenny's dilemma
02:36
|
|||
|
Kenny needs to change/
He's been skating away his pain/
talking to his buddy IZ/
about his existential crisis/
but what he doesn't know (Kenny doesn't know)/
IZ's been talking to the po-po (to the po-po)/
Bustin' Ken's buddies up for drugs (Not for drugs? oh my..)/
IZ turning into such a snob (Preppy snob)/
Kenny finds out and he's all alone now/
all his good friends are in jail/
he'd call his mama, but he screwed that up/
if IZ wasn't 6'5" he'd make him pay/
Kenny's roaming the streets/
trying to get on his feet/
already felt out of place/
'cause he only likes to vape/
but what he doesn't know (Kenny doesn't know)/
Someones been watching from their home (from their home)/
he knows that theres some good in Kenny (there's some good in there)/
Poor Kenny's misunderstood (Poor boy)/
That someone calls him, kenny's phones dead/
all he had to do was pick up/
kennys so sad, but he's too tired to try/
to get out of this 10 year slump/
Kenny might as well be dust/

pitiful pip
02:19
|
|||
|
Pitiful Pip is sitting on the lip/
that divides sanity and being insane/
he wishes that he could go back in time/
and rewind to a time where he'd do what he loved/
Give away his money and time/
deciding that he's made up his mind/
he's begging at the corner for dimes/
"Help because i'm falling behind"/
He finds, he's unhappy and selfish/
he needs to buy a new kit/
Pip's new boss I-Z just arrived/
to find Pip saying he wants to resign/
I-Z thinks its because of him/
He's mad, fires pip and ruins his resume/
Pip gives away his money and time/
deciding there's no reason or rhyme/
to this life that feels unfulfilled/
He cant believe he missed the tip/
He finds, he's unhappy and selfish/
he needs to buy a new kit/

big Al
02:57
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
Big Al didn’t used to be so big/
all throughout high school he was the little kid/
people didn’t like him unless he took his meds/
Al wasn’t comfortable at first/
he’d always been the good kid, IZ the worst/
but none of the good kids came to his aid/
that’s how Al got into such foul play/
CHORUS1
Now Al’s dealing on the streets/
hallucinogenics, disguised as sweets/
If IZ hadn’t picked him up when he was down/
told him to turn his life around/
VERSE 2
Al’s living the high life, Kid/
He’s got a pimped ride, living big/
He’s never got more respect/
He’s feeling lucky, has a wife/
Got two kiddos, loving life/
He never thought what he did was wrong/
CHORUS2
Now Al’s ruling the streets/
He’s getting old, he’s never been so bold/
So, when the cops busted in, “Its a raid!”/
Al quickly hit the ground, just like when he was down/
Al finds out he’s been framed/
IZ’s on some insane crusade/
“I’m cleansing the streets from you scum!”/
But Al says, “We were just kids!”/
“You made us this way!”/
“Why IZ, why?”/
Other:
You see, this took Al by surprise/
it eventually leads to his/
demise/
cause, IZ was one big/
idol in his eyes/
Big Al dies/

andy loves her
02:55
|
|||
|
VERSE1:
Andy's in love with a girl/
if only he could tell her how he really feels/
What if she loves IZ instead/
He's buff and masculine, but Andy's to scared to try/
Chorus1:
Andy loves her more than the world, if only he'd get the nerve/
wants to ask her out to a meal/
He doesn't know she's crushing on him, she loves him so/
but poor Andy doesn't know/
Verse2:
Andy's been saying she's too good for him/
he'll wait for the right time, has no timeline to win her heart/
He knows he's competing with IZ/
He's waiting for something, much uncertainty, but he's waiting for too long/
Chorus2:
Girl-crush, she's accepted IZ's invite for a date on the lake/
and it went so well/
Andy he's run out of time, IZ's gonna make the seal/
the sad part is, Girl-crush isn't even happy/
Outro:
What if it was your destiny?/
What if you ruined your fate?/
Now neither of you will be happy/
shoulda asked her out on a date/
Andy loves her/
Oh Andy you still love her/

poor sally
03:20
|
|||
|
VERSE1:
Sally got thrown under the bus/
Muddied up her new white Chucks/
She's mired in guilt that she shouldn't feel/
It's not her fault he broke the seal/
Chorus1:
IZ never was intentional/
He was with her for the wrong reasons/
Wanted to prove to his mom and pop/
That he was growing up real fast/
Verse2:
Sally, she's down, over her head/
paying for school, she thought he left/
money to get her through the year/
but no, its bad as it appears/
Chorus2:
Turns out IZ really just got scared/
Maybe he loves her, but he's impaired/
Got an issue with his heart/
The nerves don't communicate in full part/
Sally, poor girl, will she go with her moral?/
Can she find the strength to forgive?/
Maybe IZ's doing the best he can/
Under some trying circumstance/
If he was raised this way is it his fault he did wrong?/

IZ's life
03:07
|
|||
|
VERSE1:
IZ's gonna make it hard/
He'll be leaving mental scars/
doesn't matter if he tries/
there'll be trouble till you die/
PreChorus1:
IZ can't stand himself/
He hates what he does to other people/
He wishes he was someone else/
Seems like he's just made this way/
CHORUS1:
IZ's life, he's born with a mission/
Its sad, it's human life/
{His} Purpose to bring people down/
Talk about "dead inside"/
VERSE2:
Never had the choice of life/
since he was born he knew it wasn't right/
"why am I only here to bring/
other people away with me?"/
Prechorus2:
Wondering, "What is my purpose?"/
"Will I ever die?"/
Not till the end of time he fears/
He has no chance for life/
Chorus2:
IZ's life, he's granted a commission/
and he's paid by the devil himself/
all he wants though, is a chance for repentance/
too bad his fate is a thousand years old/

what a mess!
03:03
|
|||
|
Verse1:
Kenny finds himself in a cell/
got convicted of something or another/
he lost his mind/
so he'll be serving some time/
His bunkmate, Al, is staring at a wall/
hasn't uttered a single word/
Kenny wonders if he should reach out/
or just leave him alone/
Chorus1:
They went off the rails/
They couldn't deal with their circumstance/
Well, now they lost the chance/
to change their fate, what incompetence!/
Verse2:
Across the hall, Pip wakes up from a dream/
only to find its reality/
tattoos up to his face/
the other inmates give him his space/
because he's earned the nickname, "crazy guy"/
we won't go into the details of why/
but he sure lost his mind/
when all his applications were denied/
Chorus2:
They went off the rails/
couldn't deal with their circumstance/
Well, now they lost the chance/
to change their fate, what incompetence!/
Outro:
Kenny still wants revenge/
Al is still dead inside/
the inmates are scared to look Pip in his eyes/
Sally hasn't forgiven IZ yet, what a mess!/
Oh!
