Retribution Records was formed in 1998. The rappers have changed over time. J. Keenan and Ant $ redesigned, and rethought midwest rap music and are knockin down
Verse One
first verse goes out to garret goetz
we aint sweatin the past
nor the da's threats
just keep ya head up
and hope for the best
in time things will change
its no picture perfect world
but, put your goals in range
and your priorities striaght,
dont give a damn about who hate,
make the terrible great
and opportunity please dont wait
and inside were both screamin fuck the world
as im drinkin got the room spinnin
think im gonna herl,
i think about em puttin you away for 8 months
but i wish you was with us
drinkin 40's smokin blunts
i sit back i rhyme and i waste time
but i will never forget i will remember the times
Chorus
remember the times
we wasn't gettin into trouble
wasn't covered with ruble
we had the peices to the puzzle
but now they missin
two lost souls will never listen
and the original six just keep on forgettin
repeat
Verse Two
day ones still around
but its different now
and yes id like to go back
but i just dont know how
do you remember every single sunny summer day
me and garret couldn't stay
we were snortin too much yay
od from cocaine
and thats enough to make me quit
but im still a misfit screamin
fuck the bullshit
im tryin to meet ends
and yes i miss my friends
but we all still suffering for mistakes and sins
and i dont even got your picture
i just got this verbal scripture
ryme ripsta
with the mixture from my mixer
my intention is to get richer
im doin what i can to put a dollar in my hand
now follow me down the road again
and lets demand a different plan
the way ya standin
ill be watchin
all the enimies who be plottin
and we took care of that shit
topped it and moved on
Chorus 2X
Verse Three
and to my friends this is your world
do what you want
you can fuck dumb cunts
and you can smoke fat blunts
and you can soak up game
from the others who have witnessed both
pleasure and pain
the bright day turns to rain
keep ya mind on whats most important
sorted out what is distorted
new perspective, i explored it
i regreted what i snorted
why to spend another 20 on it
only for the moment homie
i was lucky to wake up in the mornin
and im yawnin and depressed
but nevertheless my families stressed
because Mark Keenan is a fuckin mess
but never compared to all the rest
