about

Grippin' is a socially-conscious wake-up call to the currently dwindling middle class so often attached to illusions that divide portions of the population which might otherwise share political goals, and the rhymes are pretty sick. We are the 99%.

lyrics

Space is granted those who've landed sightlessly declared and branded. What about the ones left stranded? Made mistakes but never planned it. If you saw you'd help both handed, but out of sight we're much less candid. Divided by a fear unfounded selfless thoughts seem so ungrounded. Country split by self surrounded. Images reflect 'til drowndin'. Red state blue state who do you hate vote to keep the food on who's plate. Money talks you through a smooth date where debate is lost and too late. Voices purchased 'til they're worthless. What's the purpose in this circus?

Not your scene. Not your crowd. Dare to say it all out loud. I bet you can't I bet you won't. You feel it once but then you don't. Bustin' and bruisin' and fightin' and losin' and lightin' and usin' a titan of cruisin' the sight is abusin' cause it's a broken fusion of pro confusion. Rebel wrapped in self delusion brought about by brain contusions. Grip grip grip grip grip grip grip grip grippin' on illusions. Grip grip grip grip grip grip grip grip grippin' on illusions.

Educated only to player hate it, the truth gets faded to follow paths well worn 'til jilted and jaded. It's tilted and shaded like this game they created. So let's desecrate it like the graves of the hated. But who is that wearin' that ruler's hat with foolish stats. It's a thoughtless behemoth in numbers between us and screens that screen us. News cycle decrees us the king of ideas regurgitating what doesn't free us entertained 'til weakness. It's you and it's I, a voice that says mine, ignoring the facts upon which we dine. It favors the place in which you recline. Claiming in haste who should decline. So who should decline? So who should decline? So who should?

Not your scene. Not your crowd. Dare to say it all out loud. I bet you can I bet you won't. You feel it once but then you don't. Bustin' and bruisin' and fightin' and losin' and lightin' and usin' a titan of cruisin' the sight is abusin' cause it's a broken fusion of pro confusion. Rebel wrapped in self delusion brought about by brain contusions. Grip grip grip grip grippin' in in in on on illusions. Grip grip grip grip gripin' in in in on on illusions.

Money money makes us dance. If we got it, it's our chance to prove our value in a trance, slaves to paper's high finance, but values more than market need and feeding share holder's gross greed. It's recognizing people's needs and helping without proceeds or profits or lining our pockets. I swear it's not nonsense. Our value's our conscience. Our value's our conscience. Our value's our conscience.

So what's our scene? Where's our crowd? Dare to say it all out loud. I bet we can. I bet we will. Get it once 'til it's a skill. Bustin' and bruisin' and fightin' and choosin' to stop this illusion of divisive confusion and senseless occlusion. Cause it's a new collusion of no exclusion rebel wrapped in self tranfusion brought about by brain intrusions. Grip grip grip grip grippin' in in in on on illusions. Grip grip grip grip gripin' in in in on on a fusion. Grip grip grip grip gripin' in in in on on a fusion.
