lyrics
2. GOOD TO BE BACK first time i
ever touched the mic, it was like/
something was right on right on
right on, right on/ barely above
knee high to a dove, fairly pale
and but beastly tough/ made
a million in songs in my head
so rough/ lunchtable banging
but it’s never enough/ snuff a
motherucker going off the cuff/
i would huff and puff and and
rough them up for lunch, money/
you dumb funny, you ain’t taking
nothing from me/ we rule, right,
the fair fight, gonna be mine if
it goes down/ but these toys
bout to get drowned, if they think
they can walk around/ in my
hometown, but hey, you get far,
with a loud sound and a banged
up car/ rattling throughout the
trunk and the window/ white
trash thug with a brain so
simple/ y’all can’t rap/ and y’all
can’t shoot/ speak that with
truth with my timba boot/ get
that paper, stoke that fire/ what’s
mine is mine and what’s yours is
ours/
(chorus)
I’ve been gone for too damn long/
whatever doesn’t kill me, gonna
make me strong/ feels good to be
back, feels good to be back/ We
just keep it moving keep moving
it on/ I’ve been hustling through
cold and the storms/ pushing
that fire, i’ve been keeping it
warm/ feels good to be back/ We
just keep moving it on/
They say that i ain’t ready, i
said my head just heavy/ i’m
constantly complicating so get
on with it already/ steady as i
go, keep y’all on your tippy toes/
cause the hollow gonna burrow
inside ventricles/ ain’t nobody
gonna body nobody with smoke
/ I’m taking a minute to be
blunt but never to toke/ Keep
em on the heat, ugh too cold to
approach/ beat em on the beat,
but never swallow pride, you
could choke/ i’m a invoke the
spirit when i break these blokes
lyrics/ every quote i got is twice
as dope, but y’al know me when
y’all hear it/ bigger than an oak,
or the on me joke/ i’m gonna
pull the yolk and give the biggest
bull a fruckin stroke/ merk out
all these folks, an avenger with
a force field cloke/ provoke and
y’all gonna get broke then meet
the god that y’all awoke /
(chorus)

I'm not really sure why I slept on this album for so long. Oh that's right, I prefer the blue pill to the stark reality of our morally defunct society as presented in this brilliant piece of work. This album is a poignant combination of rage, desperation, and just enough hope to force my eyes open. Jay-Radd

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment. Goodwill Hunter

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
