about

"I didn't believe in ghosts, until I spoke to 5-0,
not talkin' 'bout the fuzz, just my bruhs from the Navajo
rez in Cortez; they said on a side road,
got they asses CHASED by a SHAPE-shiftin' lost SOUL!
They call 'em Skinwalkers; they can assume the shape of one animal; that's why the claw's on my arm yo...
when Mexicans would do the knowledge on the Chupacabras,
I showed interest, paid attention to the con-VO!"

The eerie references & political innuendos in Grizz's Outside of the Booth will make it a favorite of any true underground head. DJ Comatoast provides slick cuts on the track, juggling a GURU (RIP) sample on the hook in a call-and-response style with Grizz's lyrics. GURU was a huge influence on Grizz as a lyricist, and though the lyrics of Outside of the Booth doesn't directly mention his name, the samples chosen by Grizz are an intentional show of respect for GURU, and this song is dedicated to his memory.

lyrics

OUTSIDE OF THE BOOTH
featuring DJ COMATOAST
Produced by Isolated Mind
Verse 1
Outside of the booth, it’s bleak
Dudes is sleep-walkin, crews is WEAK,
That ain’t English they be teachin in schools, it’s NEWSPEAK,
New World don’t sing the blues, she just weep,
Treated like a leper, ‘cause I’m not the shepherd nor the sheep,
I’m just steppin on the street, and handlin my B-I,
You battlin the demons that just crept into ya sleep,
There’s depth to my scenes, good luck tryin to see mine,
Like Seven, you won’t get it till the message is complete,
I didn’t believe in ghosts until I spoke to 5-0,
Not talkin bout the fuzz, but my bruhs from the Navajo,
Rez in Cortez, they told me on a side road;
Got they asses chased by a shape-shiftin lost soul!
They call ‘em skinwalkers, they can assume the shape of one animal;
That’s why the claw’s on my arm, yo…
When Mexicans would do the knowledge on them Chupacabras,
I listened closed, paid attention to the convo,
As the years passed, I got on my geek, and realized shit is not what you think,
Feelin high, till the CrazyWorld got me, now I’m all on the brink,
Bizarre ride, and I’m swallowin drinks, follow the stink;
You gon’ find a prophet hidin under the sink,
I ain’t shook yo; I’m runnin from shrinks,
‘Cause it ain’t about psychology, start preachin ya philosophies,
And honestly, you’ll probably end up in the clink…ya heard?
HOOK
Ain’t no lovers no more, it’s just lust,
Everybody just tryin ta bust nuts,
Shit is changin so fast, I can’t adjust…
“Plus, there’s no justice, it’s just us.”
The world’s crazy, nuttin much to discuss,
Ain’t no word to describe it beside a cuss,
Ain’t no man tellin me who to trust,
“In fact, watchin your back, it be a must.”
VERSE 2
It’s startin to seem like the last days are here upon us,
So I ain’t got a lot to say, like Clarence Thomas,
Politicians know the deal, but wouldn’t dare acknowledge,
Beware impostors who be swearin shit is fair & honest,
You know that they don’t really care about us,
They only tolerate us ‘cause there wouldn’t be no billionaires without us,
Now my homies’ gettin laid off, the banks gettin paid off,
The judge went & through the book at Madoff…
I’m thinkin what about them cats that sponsored Adolf?
The rich that ate off the backs of the poor,
Then I finish my Old 8 off, & it’s back to the store,
And on the way, pick up an 8 Ball, it’s happened before,
I’m my own worst enemy, no hearse beddin me,
Stressed out; watch my dome burst like Kennedy,
My old old earth told me church be the remedy,
But nah Grandma, that don’t work for my energy.
Hook
VERSE 3
The universe is gettin bigger now,
Still we love to watch stars when they hit the ground,
Shit’s been sicker since the Gipper brought the trickle-down,
Now we barely know how 2 nickels clickin sounds,
While the kingmakers sippin crown, sniffin mounds,
Lightin spliffs with a Da Vinci frown; stick around,
That is, unless ya little feets can’t reach to the pedals,
Say my name & I pop up; speak of the devil,
Swing like a metal Louisville, how I beat instrumentals,
Even a sideshow freak couldn’t creep to my level,
Here in the belly of the beast, we don’t settle for the leash,
And nobody thinks you’re special in the least,
So be careful who you effin with, capiche?
You ain’t gotta be hard to learn a hard lesson in the street,
Don’t take Grizz for granted, and don’t bank on no next release,
Transmittin live from the planet till I rest in PEACE.
END
