Lyrics

1. INTRO

Language is on fire that are launched, start here
The warning of the word goes out to all the
Above all the below and all who have been cast aside
For everyone who is re-energized, criticized or disguised
From the roof of the powerhouses
To the ground floor of your soul
To all who can fathom a subsidiary atmosphere
And to all who can listen to the sound of cyber fear

Chim Chim's Badass Revenge...
Equals the imaginative mind that enables us
To resist the strategies of containment brought on to us
By political thunder whores from on high
It's the coming of the digital freak swing Vs. ape kills master
If you try you will catch on...

Inhospitable cellular chain gangs
And the slaves speak of consumerism
And in the monsters of plastic that await
Behind the hidden corners of the new hype
The surrender of our dignities
And the disintegrate of the Wamo Frisbee
Within us all of the side effects of the emerging techno psychology

The push button landscape of the coming millennia
And it intellectual discriminations can't be avoided
They can only be down graded repudiated
And Afthroplacentrically renovated

The history distorting legislative heartbeat of the coming century
Aligns itself with weakness and over indulgence
Chim Chim's Badass Revenge
Suggests that you structure your acceptance of the frequencies
According to hope and man and a kick ass outlook
If you try you will catch on

The reinvention accelerates from this point
For it is with these words and the spirit of
Chim Chim's Badass theory of religiosity that we bring
you the only antidote that humanity will ever know

Fishbone


2. CHIM CHIM'S BADASS REVENGE

The ultimate in flip script deliverin' many blows
All that primate thinkin' broke off leg and elbow
A fruit bowl delight of power knockin' down any door
Chim Chim's laughin' at you and he's slammin' you to the floor

Chim Chim's Badass Revenge...

Wit one mega nut bomb you got blowin' up and away
With a bounty full of Kaboom terrorizn' keep yo' hair arizin'
And the sunshine reflects off ah dah moon
When you think it's over Chim Chim's scarface in the room

Chim Chim's Badass Revenge... (X2)

Takin' um hostage
Holdin' up the bank
Blockin' the sewer
Drainin' yo gas tank
Brakin' the rules
Ignorin' the signal
Runnin' the stop sign
To get your peace of mind


3. IN THE CUBE

Well let me pull myself up and out
Of this toilet that I'm in
It's liberating for a little while
But living in shit with shit
And bein' all about shit ain't my style
So up to the front I go
Past the ass rim where the sun and the snow
Melt into a river of sprinkly clear water

Chant :
Deep in the toilet
Doo Deep Doo
I'm in the cube, in the cube
Deep in the toilet
Deep Doo Doo
I'm in the cube, in the cube

Numb to the cold that I'm swimmin' in
I imagine a world without sin
Where there's mutual respect for every soul
With no question
And no testin' of no one's wits or individuality

(Chant)

Chorus :
I'm in the cube and I'm deep in the toilet
Way down deep where no good scent can spoil it
Where I can get respect from all the shit around me
As far a what comes down from above me

I'm in the cube and I'm deep in the toilet
Way down deep where no good scent can spoil it
It eventually turns into a degree of a flea
Down here I see the future of life to be

It's too crowded up here
Everybody's greedy and they just won't calm down
Their intentions are good
But they always get drowned by the ego overthrown
And the know-it-all hard-heads
That insist on running the show
The devil, the dookey that threatens my friends and me

(Chant X2)

Some get so caught up within the Whirlpool of bad
That while trying to reach the good they still end up bein' sad
From trying to rush into helping God's plan

(Chant & Chorus)

Back down I go to the toilet bowl roll
Where no one is and are afraid to go.
I can find peace and tranquility
Amongst the peanuts and shit
The smell is only a bluff

Just to make me leave
From in the cube
This fuckin' cube

In the cube where the the toilet
Where no good scent can spoil it
Let's be real with ourselves (X2)
From the dirt we came
And from the dirt we shall return
This is a lesson in life
We should all learn

(Chorus)

Cuzz no matter how much you stack it up high
It always goes down to the dirt where the shit fertilizes
Some don't realize we come from this dirt shit
The mineral pit

God made the devil
But the devil makes us weak sometimes
So are we fighting against a part of God
Or is a part of God's creation lying ?
Let some woman or man
Deem himself special
Cuzz when your label is gone your road is long
Back to the minerals and vitamins Where you belong


4. BEERGUT

My friend yousta be thin
He's get all the women
We'd go kick it at the bar
But his drinkin' went too far
He could see over his belt
The brotha was slim and svelte
But the gut snuck up while he wasn't lookin'
And the beer stood firm within

Beergut - Gettin' in the way of things
Beergut - No longer can he see his nuts
Beergut - He will keep drinkin' till he throws up

He's got the dunlap disease
His gut is troubled trapped
When his gut lap over his belt buckle
When he chuckle it pinch the belt buckle
My Hommie's arms and legs are thin
His Gut is filled with Heineken
40 ounce chug-a-lugs of Old English Saint Ides Budweiser

Beergut - Gettin' in the way of things
Beergut - No longer can he see his nuts
Beergut - He will keep drinkin' till he throws up

Then we leave from the bar
We go to the homestead
Get a six pack and turn on the TV
Roll a joint and toke it to the head
Then when the munchies take over
We will raid the convenience store
Grubbin' and scarfin' and fucked up
And the Beergut grows some more

Beergut - Gettin' in the way of things
Beergut - No longer can he see his nuts
Beergut - He will keep drinkin' till he throws up

(instrumental)


6. PSYCHOLOGICALLY OVERCAST

You ask me if I'm unhappy well no I'm not fine
I ask you the same question and now it's trivia time
Well I just turned in my players card Girl so here's my parting line
Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye, Good-bye

We traveled some rough seas
To get to the shore of sunshine
But the sun shines a brief time
Cause the clouds are in your mind
You got your own concepts well, baby I got mine
It's okay not seein' eye to eye but we have trouble bein' kind
Just like pourin' cool water in a got grease ya see we can't combine
You had your good man but you've taken for granted your rare find

We traveled some rough seas
To get to the shore of sunshine
But the sun shines a brief time
Cause the clouds are in your mind
Psychologically overcast (X3)

You got a selfish way that seems to be in your design
Well I'm too experienced to take kicks in my behind
Next time you find love adhere to the warning sign
Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye

We traveled some rough seas
To get to the shore of sunshine
But the sun shines a brief time
Cause the clouds are in your mind
Psychologically overcast (X3)

A doggi deegee dagee Doo goo
You selfish Nah


7. ALCOHOLIC

Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh real good liquor
Ohh make you throw up
Ohh make you clumsy

Well...
My Pop had a party at the house one night
On the last day of school and the food is all right
We had a speaker on the roof and a speaker on the hill
With four turntables and a reel to reel
All the pretty women came, no ugly chicks
All the stars came from the Ritz
The people eat the chicken and they drink up all the liquor
And they turn into a big screwdriver

Well...
My uncle is a 'Holic' and he down a pound of Whiskey !
With an Eight for a chaser
Spit it on the bouncer
Bouncer kicked his ass
And he lost a girlfriend with a big soul kitchen
Now he's layin' in the gutter like a skid row bum
Skid row bum style...

Ohh Alcoholic
Ohh Scotch and 800
Ohh make you scratch the record
Ohh burn the spaghetti

Well...
I came home from school on a monday
I missed the radio reggae show
I felt like a rude boy
I could have slammed me a poseur

Well...
My uncle called me a punk rocker in the doorway
As he dribbled on the table when he started to say
"You're not a rude boy, you're a lazy boy
You should make like a tree and leave
Make like a library and book
Make like a roach and bug off"

Ohh Alcoholic you can't drive
Before you crash and go to jail


8. LOVE...HATE

Love... Hate

Love is deep within your gut
Struck with fire to the touch
Hate is when you can't relate
In a different state to hate
Revenge...
Execute pain to the thief of Love

Filled with Hate I won't mistake
Inside out pin Love is grand
Outside in pain Hate awaits

Ain't love grand it saves the human
Sometimes Love is never finished
Some times Hate is never ending
Love & Hate too close for most but revenge can make it even

Love... Hate

Love to Hate to Love to Kill
By the will of loving to Hate
Kill the Love with your fear and then
The Revenge will set in

Revenge...
Quench the Hate in the mean time but
In the end your soul will end
Like a junkie that needs his shott
Hate Revenge the brotha's twins

Love is solid and won't go nowhere
Love will stay as sure as Life lives
Love will stay it's crept in everywhere
Love, Hate, too close for most but revenge can make it even

Revenge is gained when Hate kills Love
Love rises above because Love is the dove
Love and Hate both are the same
Causing the extreme opposites of the same pain

When we meet on the Fields of Onions
To make war brings tears to my eyes...
Love & Hate Brings tears to my eyes
When Love dies Hate will arise

It's a loving hate for the hate that loves
Love's to hate
For a loveless hate
For a hateless love
Rather than the hate filled hate

But no love ? Man !
That's impossible
That's preposterous
That's polukaism
Halt !

If hate was a hat holding back the hoovering hateless hate
Unhate yourself
Of this hate hat
And let the hateless love
Lift loud and lovelable
That's been looming
Under your hate hat
Of helter skelter !

Love don't loath
Live and love
Happy not hate
Happy joy love and happyness cool no heat
Hate is the enemy

Hate will arise for you to despise
Hate is laughing at your fate
Love is beautiful and it is potent
Love inhibits the inhabitant of Love
Love is the permanent state
Hate is for the late freight.

Peace, Love and Hate can definitely relate

Smelling monkey nutts boy the odors strong

12. SOURPUSS

I said yes but she kept sayin' no
Yeah the scent was in the air
Was it a rose
I said excuse me ma'am
But you tweekin' my nose
She slapped him in the face
With a terrible blow...

Ohh what a Sourpuss...

Mug all twisted (like a licorice chew)
Make a puss like that (it's gonna stay on you)
Gasoline stang (if you know what I mean)

Ohh what a Sourpuss...
Nothin' but a Sourpuss

Sour (P-u-s-s) Sour (P-u-s-s)...

I step to the rear guess what did I see
A big pumpin bump (just a lookin' at he)
Bootie licious nutritious for the (doodle e dee)
I tapped her on the shoulder (and what did you see)

Nothin' but a Sourpuss...
Squirt juicy Bootie (but the muga was pushed)
I got a knife full of butta (to spread the butush)
Would you like to hit that (oh how I woosh)
It made my face turn green (from her fuming bush)

Ohh what a Sourpuss...
Nothin' but a Sourpuss

Sour (P-u-s-s) Sour (P-u-s-s)...

Do you know of the many mangling ways there are to twist your puss
It sho get sour sometime down there by the mission
let me get a piece of sum a dat chicken, Hell Yeah...

You've got that clench jaw scrunched snawz look
You've got the frown wrinkled flex lip look
You got the ring around the collar pulsin' all red
You got the prune face mental case punch munch mug
Looks like you got a frown like a crazy clown wit mud fallin' down
You got mustard nostrils and barnacles all up under your chin
You got da sloppy skin decomposing grin

Yo head is flat wit stringy napps and happy nap sack
You got the looky loo mouth piarea crew
You got the don't hurt me please limburger cheese look
When you took a photo shot the lens broke cause ya ugly folk
Looks like your nose got caught up and twisted in a bicycle spoke
Yo face can pass for a orangutan's ass
Yo pussy smell so bad I had to move back to Baghdad
You got the Marion Berry Rockhead look
You got the Al Green hot grits look
You grill is made of steel and can't be real
You got that Spiderman brace face been
Hit in the face by the Frankenstein bass

Yo mug is covered with chili lookin' silly
Workin' at 7-11 thinkin' everything is heaven

Ohh what a Sourpuss...
Nothin' but a sourpuss...


13. ROCK STAR

When I was a kid I would go to the show and see the rock star
I'd play my records and look at the album cover at the rock star
Sometimes I'd check out the R&B
But the polka, salsa classical scene just was not me
I wanted to be like Bootsy, Dr. Funkenstein or Jimi the rock star

Color meant nothing to me
Everything was equal as far as I could see
Ignorant to the racist music industry music industry music industry

Music industry... White rock star
Everywhere I look... White rock star
Read it in the paper... White rock star
Watch it on TV... White rock star

Only just a little... Black rock star
Only for a token... Black rock star
Sing no controversy... Black rock star

Sometimes for the flavor of Japanese
No communication but it's overseas

Unaware of how propaganda works
I soon became a victim, a trick at work
With my black brotha's playin' rock & roll
Signed and ho'in for a major label
Selling my soul as a rock star

Do the rock star ohh
Do the rock star yeah

Break a window, smash a TV
We're some hott mother fucka's it's no doubt about
We do the rock star Ohh
Do the rock star, yeah

Get real drunk, fuck, fuck, fuck
Kick in the radio, smash up a chair
Do the rock star, wooh
Do the rock star, yeah

Wreck your hotel room, catch a Lear jet
Stay in debt, manic depressed
Sweat & jerk to the best
Smoke a cig, fuck, fuck, fuck
Lie fry loosin' your mind like a rock star

I got supposed fortune & fame
With existential potential Of runnin' the game
But it the greedy of the whitey at the top of my frame that's

Blurrin' my art piece
Makin' it weak see
Makin' it watered down
Dilutin' my funky sound
But it's all you need to be
In this weak society
Powder puffy rock star dumb
Keepin' people stupid and dumb

Do the rock star ooh
Do the rock star hey

Shoot up some heroin
Snort some cocaine
Smash your guitar
Wreck a jet plane
With a short gun to your brain
For the price of fame
Losers !!!

?????

Kurt Cobain meant nothing to me
But now I just can't escape from the rains that drive me ape
Of their white fear
Through the television in my eyes in my ears
Racism ! Separation ! Media !
So I guess you can say I'm an angry brotha
Can't play my music 'cause of barrier of color
Deep in debt with a seven record set
Videos and funky shows but no one knows
The major pain and misery of bein' radical
Speakin' of what you feel in a world that's sad and dull
But the rock star got the money and the fuck fuck right
Action lights and plane flights
Drugs and press but in reality
it's a lot less when you're the rock star oooh


14. PRE NUT

(instrumental)


15. NUTMEG
Never givin' up, got to go fuck up
Want to locc up, before I smoke up

I need time, he need time
They need time to free a mind

Listen to the messages and release
The time is now for you to be the beast

I need time, he need time
They need time to free a mind
Fight for Nutmeg If it's the last thing
You ever do Fight for Nutmeg
It's all between you and you
Fight for Nutmeg To get your shit thur

You want peace, I need peace
He need peace, we need peace

Can't let it go, know where to go
See how to go, fight before you have to go

Is your brain bubblin' and troublin' ?
Take the medication and heal the problem

You want peace, I need peace
He need peace, we need peace
Fight for Nutmeg
If it's the last thing
You ever do
Fight for Nutmeg
It's all between you and you
Fight for Nutmeg

Fight, fight, for self
Fight, fight, with stealth
Fight, fight, for self
Fight, for proper def
