Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x2)
---> Play Intro over:
   And I, I notice the tapestries on the wall as well
   And I, I stand up and hit my head on the mobile
   And you, you look around too
   And we, time passes easily
---> Play Pre-Chorus (x2)
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
   I've opened up my mind, So you can step inside
   You can expect to find, A scenic ride
---> Play Chorus A (x1)
---> Play Chorus A over:
   Pointyhead pizzeria perfect penetration
   Mezcal cuts off my brain communication
   Belligerence, lost my intellegence
   Talkin mess like shut up and listen to me
   Because cuttin' through the crap is my specialty
   Like a bomb I'm droppin yes a ton a lead
   You're tryin' to figure out the last thing I said
   I'm a Redwood, I love to be a tree yes I'm a Druid
   My words they're flowin' out like a fluid
   Never give in never conform
   I'll be bustin out rhymes in a triplet form
---> Play Chorus B over:
   Right Now, Right Now, Right Now
---> Play Intro (x2)
---> Play Intro over:
   In another room, I sit and contemplate
   That winter night, my words were filled with hate
   In second sight, I should have known my fate
   But it's allright, now we're in a different state
---> Play Pre-Chorus (x2)
---> Play Pre-Chorus over:
   I've opened up my mind, So you can step inside
   You can expect to find, A scenic ride
---> Play Chorus A (x1)
---> Play Chorus A over:
   Expiate, to make amends for hostilities
   It's easy to see that for me, in reality
   I'm not one of those fools
   With an Ecclesiastical whitewash
   To set my ethical standards
   You'll never catch me lookin' to Ann Landers
   Or Moses or the law or even Buddha
   If there's one thing I know
   It's always be true to myself
   And learn from experience
   Educated by nights of violence, trips to jail,
   Broken knuckles and friendships
   But that gives me the power to write a groove that rips
---> Play Chorus B over:
   Right Now, Right Now, Right Now
   I Am, I Am, I Am
---> Play Ending
