Broken Records

(album: All to the Bueno - 2023)

So many broken records all around me
So many broken records all around me

I'll do my best to explain
I got so much on the brain that it's lame
Wanna take it back make it the same
But I know that I can't cause time goes on it doesn't stop
Not even when the batteries go dead on the clock
Time marches on and time waits for no man
Life is cold like a snowman
Life is cold like a blizzard
Fuckin up my vision and shit
Fuckin up my living and shit
I'm going coo coo like the clock up on the wall
Mirror on the wall who's the baddest homeboy of them all
My mirror replied
Why you are lil Rob I said mirror you never lie
But I'm getting kind of sick of this life
That I'm living in a world where no one listens
And the decisions that I make
I make em all to make you happy
Handing you the knife to backstab me

So many broken records all around me
So many broken records all around me

Hey there's a lot of disrespect now days and I don't get it
Talk a lot of shit, I can't respect it
You could expect that from them don't you expect that from me
Cause that shit is that happenin
It's not the way that I do things
It's not the way it should be done
I wish I could talk sense into each and everyone
But you never listen anyways
You claim to know it all but anyways
This ain't no acting class
I ain't trying to tell you how to act
But you fools need to learn how to act with class
Even a little more class than that
To have class just don't mean you drive a Cadillac
Hey homeboy what the fuck you trippin on
Have a fucking drink on me
What the fuck you sippin on
Take a breather and a chill pill
Teach em something different homie and that's for real real

So many broken records all around me
So many broken records all around me

It's a trip to me to think where I would be when I was younger
Got a little older now no longer a youngster
I learned a lot
Seen a lot
I got shot down the block
At the stop
Lil Rob Chicano hip hop
Since the beginning homie
Out the boom box and we would have the record spinning homie
Forward and backward
Backward and forward
Mixing and scratching a life full of action I spit with a passion
I get it crackin and keep it that way
I always gotta watch my back
I hate being that way
It's a fucked up to live ey
But that's the way it is wey
I couldn't explain it if you asked me too
I'm just here trying to do exactly what I have to do
And what I have to do is try to change my life for better
Can't be walking round this bitch just like whatever

So many broken records all around me
So many broken records all around me
