The Green Book

[Jamie Madrox]
Put me on public display and showcase
So there's an equal opportunity for everyone to hate me
I know you think it's a lie and it's a scam
Fuck the music, fuck the time, and fuck who I am
From where I stand
We digest shit like flies on trashcans
Overseers of the east revive wanting pentagrams
Time to open your mind
The possess by the rhymers eventually how they wind up
Damage, innocence isn't a friend
So it's hard to overlook and pretend where it all started
Half-hearted and semi-skilled
Still today unfuckwithable and unreal
Unbearable and unheard
Unmentioned and disrespected
I'm on levels and just worth
Subtract doesn't rob us of our confidence
But obstacles and booby traps are hateration nonsense

[Chorus]
Now on the other end of this microphone
Is the problems of a man whose mind is fucked up
And on the other side of the speaker spark
Is a nation that don't give a fuck!(You think we don't care?)
Now on the other end of the raps we spit
You can see that we don't give a shit (I think you don't care?)
And on the other side of the music we play
I question if you still relate (Can you, can you relate?)

[Monoxide Child]
Now I been both parted and spit on
Laughed at and hit on
You never had a clue that you were fucking with a time bomb
Now people see me on the streets and wanna talk
But when I lived right down the block though it was never worth the walk
And I ain't gotta talk, all I had to do was sit and listen
Home in the dark hile you hope that I diminish
And when I finish the judge will give me 20 years flat
Cause I went up in the studio and murdered the track
You got me pissed off and angry, you thought this would change me?
You gotta come better than that, I ain't afraid see
Your pitt bulls are dead and whe're the only dogs left instead
To rightfully guide the mis-lead
It's been 10 long years and all my blood, sweat, and tears
It's the reason I'm standing right here
Willing to die for mine, blinded by the shadows of crooks
Another day another page in the book

[Chorus]
Are you ready? (Ready)
See us for who we are we ain't have no worrie right here
Are you ready? (Ready)
Do you relate to the paint and what we're saying in the music that you claim to hear
Ready
See us for who we are we ain't have no worrie right here
Are you ready? (Ready)
Do you relate to the paint and what we're saying in the music that you claim to hear
Ready
See us for who we are we ain't have no worrie right here
Are you ready? (Ready)

[Chorus x2]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me

[Monoxide Child]
Now you can try to sedate me, assassinate or just hate me
But there's nothing that you can do to me lately
Now I'm greatly accepted in the mind so I'm confused and intertwined
From being rejected so many times, I wanna leave it all behind
So kind of you to pick up the album and give it a try for once
And run and tell your homies that these motherfuckers will die for us

So many questions, fingers pointing for answers
Suggesting that I'm the cancer that lingers inside the pasture
With green grass up to my neck, and situations that's too fast
To think about and most people can't dream about
A hundred million miles and every single second
And every time you hear this record I want you to feel me on every sentence
Reminisce from descendants of past treasures
We'll embark on a journey that'll stay alive forever
Plus I would stand over on my side of the fence
Regardless of the circumstances or the consequences

[Chorus x2]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me

[Jamie Madrox]
I am my own worst enemy
I'm not the smartest motherfucker and shit, I don't pretend to be
And why I am the way I am is not a mystery
My mind's not in proper working order or in therapy
The brain's confused and mentally abused
Life's been hanging on a string so what the fuck I got to loose?
And what the fuck I got to prove to you?
If you don't know me by now, you'll never know me
You can put that on my real homies
I got problems and they stack like bills
And I relate to the broken, bleeding heart love killed
And I awaited in the shadows, awake in the dark
Hoping to talk to the passed on, I'm falling apart
I'm such a mess and decisive, I'm fading away
I'm out of touch with society and living today
Never relying on my sanity, I through it away
To become the maniac that's got your attention today

[Chorus x2]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me

[Monoxide Child]
Can you keep a secret?
Well I'm afraid world because they want me to die, can you believe it?
But I'm still alive... and been floating since '95
With my chin held high but I'm so dead inside
Let the problems just roll and put them back into a pile
Because it's just a bunch of shit that I can't deal with right now
And I'm tired of always guessing and messing it up again
And the next day it's even deeper and I'm steady sinking in

[Jamie Madrox]
I took a look at myself and came to grips with what I found
It was a vision of a child, disturbed and broke down
No soul, no heart because I gave it away
No time for feeling sorry, I'll grieve another day
And all those tears are stored in storm clouds
That hover above me and cover the ugly
Continued to haunt me when I was feeling low
That's the same reason I hold on and never let go

[Chorus x4]
I'm so
Hidden and you're never gonna see
I'm cold
Forgiven all because of my beliefs
I'm no
Body that you ever wanna be
Cause I know that the world is afraid of me

Monoxide, blaze up a smoke!
Monoxide, blaze up a smoke!

I might smoke a Marlboro for the fuck of it
But I'ma keep it menthol till you all wanna puff on it
Rough and ragged, and my voice is all raspy
Teeth all rotten and yellow, my breath nasty
I smoke 3, 4, 5 packs a day
Just rotting my moustache away
It ain't no time to play, cause I get winded so quick
And when I spit it's so yellow and thick it'll probably make you sick
And wanna throw up
Now, baby, hold up
What you mean it ain't no smoking in there?
I'm about to blow up
I like my shit whenever, know what I mean?
And I can't help it if you can't appreciate my nicotine
I'm not a quitter
So laugh and give no love that patch
I'd rather smoke by the pack
Now where my mothafucking smokers at?
Now light it up and take a hit
You gotta admit that you addicted to my menthol, bitch

Monoxide, blaze up a smoke!
Monoxide, blaze up a smoke!
Monoxide, blaze up a smoke!
Monoxide, blaze up a smoke!

[Jamie Madrox]
Hey. What's up? Uhh, I just got out of the studio. I'm trying to give you a call and see if we're still on for tonight. So,
uhh, call me back and we can see if we can get things poppin. Alright call me. *click*

[Monoxide Child]
Hey. What's going on? Just calling to make sure that we're still doing that thing tonight. Make sure you ain't forgot about
me, you know what I'm saying? Make sure you give me a call? 8 o'clock give me a call. Peace. *click*

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
Hey. Sup? You told me to call you. We're supposed to do something or whatever. Aight well check this out. I'ma try calling
you back 3-4 more times before you answer, alright? But uhh, yea. We'll do something fresh tonight. *click*

[Monoxide Child]
Hey. What's going on? It's like quarter after 8, you know what I'm saying? I'm getting a little worried. Maybe you're about
to stand me up or some shit. You need to let me know what the fucks going on or something. God ble- it's freezing out here.
Give me a fucking call! Peace. *click*

[Jamie Madrox]
Hey. What's up? It's me again. It's 9:30. What the fucks going on? I thought we said we were fucking doing something. Call
me back. Aight, peace. Bye. Whatever the fuck. *click*

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
Hey. What the fucks going on over there? I called you 4-5-6 time's man. You ain't answering man. Where you at? Supposed to
be meeting up with me. I thought we were gonna go to the roller rink and shit tonight man. What the fucks going on? Call me.

[Jamie Madrox]
Hey look. If you don't wanna fucking hang out with me, that's fine. But at least have the fucking common decency to give
someone a call, alright? Just fucking call me. Alright, bye. Take care of your fucking fat ass. Bitch.

[Monoxide Child]
I should have knew she was a freak by the walked
And when I talked to her it was like she never got caught
To this day, she swear to God it wasn't shit
Unless she straight up just tripped and fell up on a fat dick
I know I been around the block a few times
So I really didn't mind that her mouth had some stretch lines
She had me thinking I'm a straight up Mack
When in fact, I'm just another who can hit it from the back
And attack her intestinal track and leave a puddle of spat
Down the middle of her pimpled ass crack
And then smack, I had to give that bitch a black eye
Because the pussy just don't feel right, don't know why
I thought I was the shit and had this all on lockdown
Come to find out that my girl's just a cockhound
I couldn't deal with it, I had to bail out quick
Because that bitch just love sucking strange dick

[Chorus x2]
She said I'm the only one
...Said I'm the only one
...Said I'm the only one
Fuck You!

[Shaggy 2 Dope]
What up young freaky freak tantalizing tender?
Ain't seen you in a week and you know I'm on the tether
Whatever. I'm free at 3:45, remember?
I'll call you around 8:00 and we can get together
Damn, now this bitch she should do a thing or two
Grabbed my meat and did the Electric Boogaloo
Awww shit! What the fuck she did?
Had my nuts kick stepping and my wang did the Jig
That ain't shit, check it out homie
Pull my wallet out my pocket and check my I.D.
For sure, just to make sure it's me
And I'm a Michiganny coming straight from the D
We dicked it up, we dicked it down
I hit it from the back, she gave me ridges around
But fuck all that, instead I have her a call
*fucking* PAUL!?

[Chorus x2]
She said I'm the only one
...Said I'm the only one
...Said I'm the only one
Fuck You!

[Jamie Madrox]
Son of a bitch
This bitch got big old hickies on her neck
And dick on her breathe
Trying to kiss me talking about "Hey boo..."
What the fucks wrong with you? (Dumb Bitch!)
You could have brushed your teeth after licking his balls
You could have had the decency to give me a call
I was worried like a motherfucka hoping you was straight
While you was sucking and fucking some strange trouser snake
I thought I was the only python in your thong, bitch
That's the same pussy that I put my fucking tongue onto it
Exactly how long that this been happening?
You going around and me just for action
What am I? Some kind of dumb lame fuck?
Or just another dick in your butt?
Say something
Were you trying to crush my heart just for fun?
It was my fault for thinking when I thought I was the only one

[Chorus x2]
She said I'm the only one
...Said I'm the only one
...Said I'm the only one
Fuck You!

How come this wasted time is such a loss expressed on minds side?
I'd give you everything if you just let me stand beside you
Your kind is so amused and still confused by what you live with
Your darkness just won't go away
Your light, it's time for you to shine on today
Nothing but darkness in me

[Chorus]
Darkness, night time
No moon in the sky tonight
Feeling like our lives been tucked away, today
Life is darkness, forever remain, and again

How come these things you say they always seem to grow and haunt me?
I'd give you everything if you just let me stand beside you
You seem to think that I would let things slide and have you change me
This darkness just won't go away
No light, inside for me to shine on today
Nothing but darkness in me

[Chorus x2]
Darkness, night time
No moon in the sky tonight
Feeling like our lives been tucked away, today
Life is darkness, forever remain, and again

And again [x15]

No light, inside for me to shine on today
Nothing but darkness in me

[Chorus]
Darkness, night time
No moon in the sky tonight
Feeling like our lives been tucked away, today
Life is darkness, forever remain, and again

Everybody dies
Everybody dies

[Jamie Madrox]
Patchwork, sewn together from dues to dirt
From earthgrown and weather conditions of the desert
And everyone's a part of it, some more then others
Sons, daughters, and brothers, laywers, accountants, and even grandmothers
New comers and old faces, people of any races, and familiar places
Parents and teachers, prostitutes and preachers
Throw ya hands to the sky and pray that he can see us
Living how we got to live, and doing what we got to do
Praying for another day so we can fight and make it through
Some of us are designed for crimes, some of us designed for rhymes
Still we congregate in unemployment lines
One of a kind, and still kinda strange, same book, same world
Just we on another page. (one more time)
One of a kind, and still kinda strange, same book, same world
Just we on another page...

[Chorus x2]
Come on, we on another page
(Everybody dies)
Come on, we on another page
(Everybody dies)

[Monoxide Child]
Once I lit a smoke off a bitch I fried
And I ashed it in her face when she died
Who you bitches you calling regular when you out of my zone?
Like a celluar phone that's stuck on roam, now get ya mind blown
That's me and my man at your door, and we looking for a reason to start the war
You should of never tried to take a stab at us
And you never should of rapped on us
We see the game from way the others hurried and rush
We broke them down, rolled them up, sparked the flame and smoked them all in the dust, what?
You couldn't touch me bitch, not even if you wanted when it's supposed to
Bitch I'll have your whole block haunted
Flaunt us like the beans in your chilli, we all know the really really
Monoxide slap your girlfriend silly
Big Willie get your throat cut and left bleeding
While my homeboy's banging your girl, while ya leaving

[Chorus x2]
Come on, we on another page
(Everybody dies)
Come on, we on another page
(Everybody dies)

[Bushwick Bill]
What ya looking at, where ya bitch at?
I'll make her bounce on till the back's up
Thinking you're something that your other playas tap off
Holes in your stomach, till your whole waist snap off
Pour on some 'nac, bite the bottle cap off
Hate it with a passion when a bitch nigga act off
Ride on ya hood everyday and never slack off
Never let it get squash, never let it slide
Die mothafucka, die mothafucka, die

[Anybody Killa]
Flip through a couple pages, looking into my background
All you see is the dead around
Daddy always said there'd be days like this
Now daddy's dead and gone cause he was granted his only wish
I can't believe all the drama when it comes to death
Ain't nothing you can do but pay respect
Slip into the afterlife, feeling light as a feather
Everybody dies, so quit acting like you livin' forever

[Chorus x2]
Come on, we on another page
(Everybody dies)
Come on, we on another page
(Everybody dies)

[Monoxide Child]
Speculation has it, that I'm the freakiest one
I like to rip out my tongue and spit the black magic
And I'm supposed to be fucking some crack addict without a rubber?
And I already got a baby by her mother?
They say I'm a sci-fi wizard of sorts
And my momma, she was a banshee, she was drowned by the courts
They say my little brother Jamie, he's dead and in a grave, and I'm all alone and afraid
And everything I gave has been so underestimated, I've been hated by generations
For having conversations with people who didn't make it
How could I fake it?
I'm a monster, remember me? The weirdo with the axe, from another galaxy
I keep a blender in my kitchen filled to rim with the blood
And spit suspicions of me drinking it up
So it's fucked, scatter stones, get out my Kool-Aid
I'm blasting away from all you haters
Hit me up on my two-way

[Chorus x4]
Besides some bullshit falling down
I'm okay

[Jamie Madrox]
Speculation has it that I'm a drunk and a drug addict
A shit talker, always trying to start static
A borderline faggot, with long fingernails
Either that or he's a coke head, but I don't think he cares
Speculation has it that I have already engaged in sexually fantasies with me and Gwen Stefani
A video taping, internet downloads
Speculations is called is the one who gets boned
I can't escape it, mistake it, or fake it out
Look you in the face as if I don't know what you talking about
Speculation, you heard I don't spit on no bodies shit, but no, don't hate me
Many mouths to feed, and many personalities, and me looking to get P.A.I.D
Is it a lie or is it true?
You can put that on our skills they stay snug like my Batman suit

[Chorus x4]
Besides some bullshit falling down
I'm okay

[E-40]
Smash the flash I have the plastic backing
Speculation, hateration, me and Twiztid don't give a ...
Mistaking, papered up, smashing independently
With a dedicated ass fanbase, and don't a mothafucka hear from me
Speculation, see they just don't know
I be rapping too fast, they be listening too slow
I be spitting sluggish
E-40 be spitting thuggish
E-40 be representing the bottery up in the cop, got the dirt popping
Ain't no stopping a pimp
Walk with a limp
Elbows on bimp
Flopping on hips
Sipping on sip, sipping on sip
Dipping and skating and bounce to this shit
Me and Twiztid be twisted
Me and Twiztid be gone
Me and Twiztid be blisted
Me and Twiztid be stoned
Gone on our head, dead, dead wrong
Smoking turtle, beating on our chest like King Kong
Conversating acting and poking, that's how it's hanging today
Trying to persuade this liquor into giving me brain

[Chorus x4]
Besides some bullshit falling down
I'm okay

[Jamie Madrox]
On the windows in my mind at night
There's some things going on, some of them are not right
I've been locked in this house, in this abusive home
No one is there on the couch and I'm alone
Inside of my head, things are unclear
I don't rely on the person I see in the mirror
And I don't die for the chance to be standing right here
Sometimes I'm a smart ass when being sincere

[Monoxide Child]
I see everything's flashing, I wish it would stop
There's just something that makes me so nervous about cops
All their pushing and shoving and macing my eyes
It will only keep burning this hate that's inside of me
Hitting me, kicking me just for the fun
And all I keep on thinking is "Go for the skull!"
To protect and to serve are the words you should heed
And if you don't, we're gonna watch you bleed

[Chorus]
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can break me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can make me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can save me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can change me

[Monoxide Child]
She loves me and hates me, it's all just the same
But I can hear her screaming and yelling my name
Now her face is all blue and her eyes are all red
From the drugs that she keeps on popping
Instead of me helping I'm learning and pushing away
The visions and memories of things she would say
They keep coming and flashing so I keep on laughing
Bitch, you never should've fucked my boy

[Jamie Madrox]
I'm in touch with my fear, that's why I stay afraid
And I'll stay that way until night turns to day
And them nice words you say will slowly mutate
And become the better part of you we all love to hate
And well, speaking of fate, I'm trying to relate
To the ever growing destiny and it's amazing shape
They tell me I'm straight and then diss me all day
There's a website debate, was it all a mistake?

[Chorus]
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can break me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can make me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can save me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can change me

[Monoxide Child]
It just keeps calling me, whispers my name
All alone I was sitting down in the darkness again
All my friends, they are dead but remain in my head
So I truly believe that they are all my enemy
Telling me why, and I'll tell the sky
That Hell is all real and that Heaven's a fantasy
Capture me mentally nothing substantially evident
Except that my head's a little fucked up

[Chorus x2]
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can break me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can make me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can save me
Wondering Why? (Why?)
Not giving up (No)
Nothing can change me

(feat. Colton Grundy)

Frankenstein!

[Chorus]
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!

[Madrox]
So what if I use jumper cables to kick start this retard
And his brother in this music game of street smarts?
Bitch, we been doing this since '93
10 years in this so called industry
What I see is so many stars sucking dick
What we be is something that's truly flipping the script
What ya'll know is only what they provide you with
A song is a song even if you call it a hit
My face is my property, painted up or not
Wearing a mask, whatever I have or have not
We come as an extension of who I be, ain't nobody writing raps for me
And basically we put in mad work for the little that we've obtained
Ain't no plaques covering my wall with my name
But my ever growing family is spreading in mass
Enough to scare the shit out of your playa hating ass
And you still wanna call me a clone?

[Electricity buzzing]

"We've finally done it..."

[Chorus x2]
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!

[Monoxide]
People, the panic's kinda wide spread
I'm shedding skins like chameleons just to keep up my disguises
Now I'm hearing that this is the only reason that the people play me
But they really hate me when my make-up's off
You sound soft, goo
And I'ma put it in the words of the B.I., then maybe you will realize
This ain't a game, and I ain't a clone, it ain't the fame it's the microphone
And all the family I've obtained over the years who representing for the same fears
You keep hating and disrespecting
Violent J put us up on the grind and said "You gotta keep an axe in your waist at all times, and it's a whole lot of people
that's just looking to side, so don't worry about the haters, you just bring it from withinside."
So this soul, this song, this rhyme, is the soul of your very own Frankenstein

[Chorus x2]
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!

"If it's blown up, you'll see that it's good, and multiplied! Good, but it's.."

Frankenstein

[Syn]
Frankenstein!

[Colton Grundy]
If they're both clones, what the fuck am I?
A painted dead body soaked in clone's formaldehyde?
Known to sway your eye and straight knock out teeth
And bring the heat to your zone, leaving ya to smoke in the street
Knocking the beats, knocking the throw, knocking your door off the hinges
Fuck you bitches and all you haters laying on the floor
Fuck what you know, I play a base for a haters domes and telephone poles because I'm out cold
Colton the undying, Blaze ya dead, you know the rest
And it's a mothafucking shame to catch a bullet in your chest
For some shit you said when you was high and thugging
Light a gas in your face, and look who ain't saying nothing
You's a fake yourself, and fuck your wealth
And fucking with a Frankenstein is bad for your health
And you can put it on my casket and my fan bases
This 40, these nuts, and our painted faces

[Chorus x2]
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!
