lyrics

Daily on the train you see so much different stuff
The steamy smell on that homeless dude shit's drifting up
Millennial hipsters sipping liquor from sippy cups
Hetero males pole dancing for just sixteen bucks

Armed preteens half my height yelling stick em up
Two dudes discussing the crux of last nights nip & tuck
A woman smack the wrong guy she thought pinched her butta
A man lost to his hallucination in fisticuffs

Welcome to the everyday of the MTA
I wonder what madness we see again today
Such a small price to pay
For the show of a lifetime… lets play
x2

A beautiful bouquet in a pool of puke
two women in miniskirts and heels playing hula hoops
tourists reading maps looking too confused
a scary looking biker dude helping them choose their route

a group of commuters clones in their blue suits
A woman with a bag over her head protecting her newest do
A dude sneaking a pic of some cuties boobs
And her punching him hard screaming "i know what youre doing dude"

Welcome to the everyday of the MTA
I wonder what madness we see again today
Such a small price to pay
For the show of a lifetime… lets play
x2

drunk dudes
punk crews
afros
flat tops
newspapers
ipads
dance shows
mad cops
stank eye
stink face
cold stare
pink lace
churro girl
platform
pizza crust
rat swarm

watch those
closing doors
cover your
open sores
train delay
alter course
bull horn
orators

turn styles
metro cards
some times
movie stars
skip those
super charged Uber cars
right?
boring in comparison
to subway nights
embrace the savageness
and love this life
theres no comparison
to subway life
embrace the savageness
and love this right?
And love this right?
And love this right?
I love this right
I love this right
And hate it

Beyond Human Comprehension EP

I stumbled onto this album in the early 2000's and it completely redefined my categorization of sick. You see, I'm from South Africa and at the time, there was nothing like this - This album elevated contemporaries, enemies and I. After a few years with this and a few others, Soweto became something of a hotbed for abstract and alternative hip hop. All the heads that came from my generation became monstrous juggernauts truely beyond human comprehension. Thank you, Cryptic and The Atoms Fam! shrineovhate
