lyrics
2010 aint a damn thing changed
i still front and hang out all day
still want money, it aint bought happiness yet
i still chase and succumb to debt and at the pace i spend
im bracing for the end of the race, then
pretend to love the one im embracing
still too real, give up too much information
pledge allegiance to the corporation
no grievance, im back room grumbling
taking the medicine begrudgingly
its humbling when the buzzer rings and my mouth waters
the pavloved us with ad slaughters of bad daughters
its odd aint it, dont aspire to sainthood
but sports and entertainment, local boy makes good
and you could say its a matter of taste
im just living in the system, i guess im keeping the faith
and i still got cable, i still subscribe
pay a bill for the swill meant to fill my mind
whos off survivor, i gots to know
i cant watch the hills cant sink that low
i dont watch the news, dont like that show
its depressing as shit, so i press
the remote controls mute, post some old news
from online rumors you can poke some holes through
still, eat fast food
salt the fries to outlast you
made the deal and its past due
but ask myself did i have to?
still sip aspertame, before and after
master my domain? i beg to differ
kid myself to think i make a difference
with the words, reveal a major cycnic
constructive critic, claim im with it
as i listen to the smiths, still ill what decade is it
am i living in the past, or maybe im distracted
i must be keeping the faith

I think this might be the hardest album Buck 65 has ever made. Not an ounce of fat on it. Every single thing about it is dope. But then every single thing about King of Drums and Super Dope is dope too. Still this might be my favourite of the bunch. I'm just happy Buck is back and making all this dope ass hip hop for us. Arrrgghh it makes me so happy. beatjesus
