BC Trees - Josh Martinez
This is a glimpse into my life and
What I like and what I do
When I'm not riding my bike
I look out the window and watch the view
I live in a city in a rainforest next to ocean
And the mountains look real big to
This native Nova Scotian
Most of the time I write rhymes
In the confines of my bedroom
I like chilling in this city but
Most of all I like its legroom
I like how people here do whatever they please
Vancouver BC I like them big huge trees
Everyone can talk I mean its not a crime
Secrets get told some folks tell them all the time
Like they couldn't or wouldn't try to test
What they could do
With their thoughts if they ever stopped
To think that maybe it's not all true
All you ever hear is talk talk talk
Too scared to make a move and walk walk walk
The line like Johnny Cash and act shocked when you find
That the way to get ahead is to come from behind
I root root for the underdog but still gotta give credit
To those who know better but who still let it happen
I don't want to spread dirt and tell you things I don't mean
I used to be real dirty but now I've gone clean
I'm using my time well and burning the candle and
It will smell of Sandalwood paneling
It's a good thing this vessel has good handling
Otherwise I'd be shipped to shore
I've given all I got but still they always want more
And if your in the driver's seat they want you to follow
And if you let them in they'll feed on you until your hollow
Ring Ring the telephone it's always you calling
Crying on the phone telling me how far you've fallen
You call a lot I want to know hey hey
Why do you call my house everyday
When I see you at a show just go away
Because you're not the one for me
They say I'm just some hippy mama what's wrong with me
I never say stoked or trippy but I do any drug they slip me
They say I'm just some hippy mama what's wrong with me
I never say stoked or trippy but I do any drug they slip me
This is a glimpse into my life and what I like and what I do
When I'm not riding my bike I look out my window and watch
The view
I live in a city in a rainforest next to ocean
And the mountains look real big to this native Nova Scotian
Most of the time I write rhymes in the confines of my bedroom
I like chilling in this city but most of all I like its legroom
I like how people here do whatever they please
Vancouver BC I like them big huge trees
You know I won't stop thinking I can't stop drinking
I want a real woman not just some chick to put my dink in
In my room it's high noon and there's a showdown at sundown
I love the high I get from a gunfight but
Can't stand the comedown
When you become a rapper you open up your life to people
Everytime I do a show I show a little more shoulder
Hold the mic like a lighthouse keeping
Watch over the landscape
Give my man an Ezra Pound the 5th element is the handshake
Goddammit I can't stand it too many folks so serious
It's simply too easy to have and be a comedian
And ride the median between raw and delirious
Oh it's Mr Magic he's so mysteriuos
Synonymous made muse I am contagious when I choose
To be deluding the authorities and their outrageous views
I am one of those whose paid his dues but got a few
Screws loose
Se I've made the best use of booze and bodily abuse
The boys meet to eat the breakfast at Bon's Off Broadway
Another shot there buddy Well yeah ok why not
A lot what I put in my body is shoddy and cheap
But I can't afford to eat that well and
Still have a place to sleep
I keep good company and hang with the totally insane
I love living this lifestyle where nothing ever
Stays the same
With change comes the rains and everyone
Goes through growing pains
I want to do my laundry but I can't remove the stains
They say I'm just some hippy mama what's wrong with me
I never say stoked or trippy but I do any drug they slip me
They say I'm just some hippy mama what's wrong with me
I never say stoked or trippy but I do any drug they slip me
This is a glimpse into my life and what I like and what I do
When I'm not riding my bike I look out the
Window and watch the view
I live in a city in a rainforest next to ocean
And the mountains look real big to this native Nova Scotian
Most of the time I write rhymes in the confines of my bedroom
I like chilling in this city but most of all I like its legroom
I like how people here do ever they please
Vancouver BC I like them big huge trees
