Arrested Development
Inspired & Jaded
Put it up

Hey

Put it up

For real

Put it up
For real

Ha ha ha

Lets go

I started with shell toes, the Adidas sneakers

My group A-Tack we would pack clubs in Milwaukee inspired by the group called the Schemers

We were young dreamers

Hip-hop evangelism to the non-believers

Planet Patrol Afrika Bambaataa and Soul
Sonic Force
Of course the course
Of hip-hop would force
The worlds jaws to drop
And its not
A coincidence I’ve been here ever sincе

And since Prince was singing bout when Dovеs Cry
I was on the front lines
Making sure Hip-Hop would never
Die

Now I sorta wish it did
Cuz it is a monstrosity
That’s filled with so much animosity

And hypocrisy
Since we dropped Tennessee
I’ve been amazed at where I’ve been and what I’ve seen

I lived my childhood dreams of being seen on MTV
And having an impact on H.I.P
H. O. P
OMG
Look at me

It’s a thin line between inspired and jaded

Both of them at times I’ve dated
Its so dysfunctional
Cuz both are related
So if you ask me now
I’m inspired and proud

If you ask me tomorrow
I’m retiring I’m out

I hate this
And I love this
It takes patience
To get above this
Life


I chose this I supposed
So it’s sposed to go this slow

So it’s

Bliss
Blissful as it gets (hey)
Without total submission to ignorance

Yes

Bits of dirty ish and glitz
They got 5 star fans loving 2 star hits
Rich

Enough to get jealous fits

Wishing you got the slots the other dudes
Get

So I can pout my mouth or I can go out there and live

I chose to dream
Rhyme with AD
Sing some melodies that mean something to me

Regardless of the acceptance of the rap community

Cuz y’all was with me in the 90’s

I was with me since birth still trying to find me

For what it’s worth

I’m proud of myself
I’m still filled with good thirst


It’s a thin line between inspired and jaded
Both of them at times I’ve dated
Its so dysfunctional
Cuz both are related

So if you ask me now
I’m inspired and proud
If you ask me tomorrow
I’m retiring I’m out

I hate this (hey)

And I love this (hey)

It takes patience (hey)

To get above this
Life

Hip Hop Yep

I wanna than everybody for tuning into the new album

Thanks y’all
Thanks y’all
Thanks y’all

Thine eyes have seen the glory
I’ve been in 5 star hotels with hard wood flooring

Like I’m royalty
Made millions off of royalties

I’ve seen scenes in my life so incredible they deserve scoring

Castles in the hills of Ireland
Constant touring
5 out of 7 continents
I’m gaining confidence
It’s reassuring
And that was this year
I’m not recollecting the golden days
Yet we can’t get a record deal they tell us to go away

Uh

Theres a thin line between inspired and jaded
Both of them at times I’ve dated

Its so dysfunctional
Cuz both are related

So if you ask me now
I’m inspired and proud
If you ask me tomorrow
I’m retiring I’m out
I hate this (hey)
And I love this (hey)
It takes patience (hey)
To get above this life
