        D
Slap me Daft, we sat down in the back of the class

         Bm
To seize knowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass

        Am
But I'm early to a arrival beatbox, you got raps?

        Bm
Meet me on the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback

       D
No one clapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class

       Bm
But my flag got captured and I fell between the cracks

   Am
My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap

   Bm
No matter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps

      D
Those whipper snappers, they got trapped old chap

     Bm
They lost the way, they never had the right map

   Am
Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back

     Bm
So I picked for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle

        D
Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals

     Bm
I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels

        Am
Roaming through the high land, young bucks invincible

       Bm
Echoes in my brain, if kids report to the principle
Chorus:
C
Substance dulls the mind

         Am
Traife wine clouds the heart

          Bm
You can't sew a stitch with one hand

             D
While you're taking it apart

C
Bright lights might look nice

         Am
But they sure won't make you sharp

          Bm
You can't sew a stitch with one hand

             D
While you're taking it apart

            D
Yeah, misty morning and my mom's a mess

                Bm
To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed, life is a test

         Am
Make the grade or catch an F, now death is all that's left

    Bm
To ponder I wander off hoping to catch my breath

    D
And hold it, mold my memories from untold scripts

         Bm
And roll up in a tornado twist, now I'm certain

          Am
There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth

                        Bm
Seasons change in white plains, but we remain alert

                        D
When new school years appear fools fear for a failure and crawl away 

   Bm
In tears, I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach

Am 
  We walk the halls with a grimace

                    Bm
Yeah they gossip in groups, I try to mind my business and tell the truth

    D                                                    
For instance

                                           Bm
I listen, see it all with basketball court vision
Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
        Am
We lean back in the calmest position

                Bm
And embrace the honesty found within our tension, What's good?
Chorus Riff
Bm
Trapped in the elevator of your mind
Is it real, what will you find behind the door Your imaginations put you in a bind Around you there's a cloud of gloom Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room Can't see outside of your universe
D
 No more war, there won't be anymore hunger

Bm
 No jealousy, not even competition

    Am
Let go, release, you hold the keys

Bm
Time we evaporate into the breeze

D
We are nothing, we are something

    Bm
Let go, release, you hold the keys

     Am
It's time we evaporate into the breeze

   Bm
We are nothing, we'll be something

D
Welcome to the desert of my soul

        Bm
You can stay if you like, there's room for one more

Am                          Bm
  There's room for one more
