Listen Close

MC Frontalot

mc frontalot is on appointment

to rock the microphone with the style that's got disjointment

some point went out the window, got lost

this mc is unwilling to absorb the cost. I foster indignation

don't care if my lyrics are obtuse and yo I'm losing my hair

you don't stare at the man on the bus with the voices in his head

if he led a life of reason this is what he would have said



listen close, listen close, listen close to the sound

I don't wanna be down, I don't wanna be down



I know what you're thinking, you could sink into this state

I suggest you plug yes your ears and concentrate

the fate of the man who paid attention was the depths he plumbed

some dumb fate it was too, the way he succumbed

he might have imagined a world without despair

and for that matter I could keep my hair, but beware

some thoughts are fantasies and others cold hard facts

once you've given your attention yo you can't take it back



mc frontalot is talking in the oddest of ways,

on the record that plays

I didn't mean to order stays of execution

for the speedily dispatched

now the man on the bus repeating like the record with a scratch

his name and number number name and number number name

if you ask him again he'll t-t-tell ya the same

to the casual ear the words I say and sense

do not endure an intersection

to such a sentiment I stake objection
