Somehow I always find my way back to this track, even years sober from, IT. there's something deep I still connect with intuitively, I think it's the raw, aggressive & passionate tone, a confident knowing in words being spoken.. alot of trouble for a little bit of win. Dang, SLAM.

Something about the whole vibe of the 2nd song makes me emotional. Connects with my soul. Interesting fact, the entire last verse was previously used in one of his megamixx albums which is also a great song.

Listening to this on the same day that the US records 200k new infections in a single day, while pro-life politicians receive $150k stem cell injections. I am one of the essential workers that works on site, putting my health at risk while all my managers tell me what to do from home. I've saved lives with the work that I do, while self medicating with strong narcotics as a way of staying positive while I rent a house which has a leak in every room, asbestos galore, and my only heater poisons me with carbon monoxide. Even though I haven't been on a holiday since I left uni to work full time a decade ago, I can't afford anything better and I know I am one of the lucky ones. When I am at the supermarket doing self checkout, I am asked by a multibillion dollar company to donate to a charity, so that this company can use my donation for tax avoidance. All the while the decision makers keep us distracted by telling us to be upset that the most vulnerable people in our society are asking us to help them, a refugee, a transsexual, someone wearing a head scarf, someone who has a different skin colour, someone who is choosing not to eat so that they can afford to pay rent. They target the people that can't defend themselves because they have no power or social standing, so that we don't all realize that together we could easily over throw the people holding the carrot on the stick. "There's nothing they would do for you, differently They're not even listening They don't even gleam that we're existing There's nothing here but love and you" As lame as this sounds, I've realized the love we have for one another is far more powerful than that carrot on the stick. And I think I am not the only one that's realized. Change is coming, we just need to remember to love one another and build strong communities that can't be divided and conquered.

PART ONE: "$4 VIC" [Verse 1] Still in Brooklyn Lullabies chime crooked For the harrowed and the shook-en Back to dose me Back to hold the high closely For the sparrows and the butchers See the blood moon hunters moon hear the howling For the habit and the hammered and the cowering In the magic with the haunted and the doubted There were ghosts here There's a presence there's a power It's a tightrope over tank with the piranhas For the frazzled it's a moment it's a promise To be broke down to be lowdown to be honest Another showdown with the woozy and the conscious For the aggy with the baggy with the bottle With a smile with a sip with a swallow And don't you ever try to say that you're not one of us, my love We are the touched We are entrusted with the same tomorrow [Hook] (Till I get there) I'm still living like a four dollar vic. (Jumping off the world) (Till I get there) A lot of trouble for a little bit of win. (Jumping off the world) (Until I get there) In the gasoline and sulfur in the sin. (Jumping off the world) (Until I get there) You cannot throw me in the briar patch, bitch That is where I live (Jumping off the world) This album is dedicated to Camu Tao [Verse 2] And this goes out to the... To the maniacs And aristocrat grifters To the zealots To the monarchs What up brainiacs? Compulsively acidic rainiacs Repulsively predictable painiacs To the liars For the devil's night fires Same to you too town crier Top o'the morning morbid Quite a day we're having gorgeous Salutations unimportant Hello uninspired I thought I'd drop on by and wish you all the luck desired I wish you all the souls your little mouth can tuck inside You'll always be that special part of me That loves to dine on grinning void So flirty touches dizzy lust I must imbibe And what a team we made There's nothing we can't justify But I am the son disgust entrusted with the undefined And I can no longer contain whats under my disguise I've always had the cancer for the cure That's what the fuck am I [Hook] (Till I get there) I'm still living like a four dollar vic. (Jumping off the world) (Till I get there) A lot of trouble for a little bit of win. (Jumping off the world) (Until I get there) In the gasoline and sulfur in the sin. (Jumping off the world) (Until I get there) You cannot throw me in the briar patch, bitch That is where I live (Jumping off the world) PART TWO: "NOTHING BUT ME AND YOU" I know there's Something good that I'd die here for Something great that I'd live here for Something fly that I'd write for you Something wrong that I'd bite you for Something sick that you'd cure me of Something said to make sure you're loved Some of us cannot trust no one Some of us don't deserve no trust Nothing wrong with not being strong Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of Nothing that they can take from you Nothing that they can do to me Nothing I wouldn't do for you Nothing left here but you and me There's nothing they would do for you, differently They're not even listening They don't even glean what we're existing in There's nothing here but love and you Groveling, look what they're accomplishing The systematic gods have all demolished it But I've never felt so brave As when I'm looking at your face They can decimate my body But my heart will not disgrace They can torture and interrogate And shackle to my boot I will gnaw off my own leg And hop the fuck right back to you Something good that I'd die here for Something great that I'd live here for Something fly that I'd write for you Something wrong that I'd bite you for Something sick that you'd cure me of Something said to make sure you're loved Some of us cannot trust no one There's nothing left here but you and me Nothing left here but you and me Nothing left here but you and me Nothing left here but you and me Nothing left here but you and me Nothing left here but you and me
