about

Trying to find where I fit in the world, if there is such a place

lyrics

Hook: Yet and still I try to find my place but all I find is

People all up in my face tryna put me in my place in a case
in a cast/caste and it tastes like a past I don't wanna chase
what a waste just to praise paste? no thanks I'll pass
get crass for a lass when I'm mad and the lassos a hassle
it won't break fast so slow mo, no Flo Jo but dash and sprint
for the mint cause the pros do stash
no clink in a can, no mink in my hand make too little for the middle
but too stink to be linked with the damned
I want a castle no mo hobo trash won't show class for
rich folks kissin' assholes and dick wanna kick n crack domes
n glass doors of those that slow my cash flow cause I don't stack loans
I don't lack growth cause I chose back roads
I'm zoned out the house they throw bones I go bouts
they yell "don't shout" but doubt I'm about that route without clout
I'm drownt stout in my mouth no spouse to vouch or pout to
I mount the couch and crouch til droughts through
count my trouts and sprouts til accounts due

Hook

People all up in my face tryna take up all my space
in the race in the place where I place my brakes
from the waves of my brain to the ways of the grain I stay against
no crates no gates no fence protects what I make and get
from the rest who break heads not bread fed up I fled
couldn't catch up or catch breath I bled and sweat for the stead
instead I rent the scent, sublet the sense of residence
a nest to rest my flesh and bones for a home I quest
Intense I go for an abode I roam for room to be who (I want to)
(I want to) belong to more than me
not lost or altered to be fostered not conquered or leased
or bought er owned or spent I don't accept those I won't let close
I get left, but I'm blessed and hope to spread love
not fend off those with less or more or whore my best for said address

Raggedy &?

Formerly known as LMNOP; Raggedy &? is like the drama class drop out who never found a place in the made up, glossed over, airbrushed, costumed school of hard shots where everyone is sexy and famous. Not made of plastic, Raggedy &? is made of fabric (and yarn and buttons n what not); a real throw back that makes you wanna go back to the days when things felt less phony. ... more
