Vlayman: “All the Drugs”

All the Drugs
c. ’16 Vlayman

Get the cork out,
pour you another
It’s yer favorite way of ducking for cover
Peel the bag open,
make a line
It’s yer favorite way of stacking time

CH
With all the drugs
and all the booze
You hadda know you were gonna lose

Twist the cap off
crackin’ the seal
It’s yer favorite way of numbing how you feel

Draw the stuff up
through the cotton
It’s yer favorite way towards ending forgotten

Vlayman: “Casket For My Friend”

Casket For My Friend
dedicated to Orlando, FL
c. ’16 Vlayman

I got one of those jobs no one wants to know
One of those jobs take care of ya when ya go
Yeah, I’m one of those guys, there for ya at the very end
And I made a casket for my friend

And I ain’ no slob doncha call me no ghoul
And it don’t matter how far I mighta went in school
A job’s a job, and we all need one in the end
And I made a casket for my friend

And I knowed the job was coming, scared me a bit
Thinking ’bout it comin’, freaked me out and shit
You mighta heard about my job on the CNN
And I made a casket for my friend

Bridge:
Some sumbitch took a gun into a club
And in the end he got what he shoulda got
But I hate that they didn’t get him way before that end
And I made a casket for my friend

SOLO

I got one of those jobs that I think I’m gonna let it go
One of those jobs s’posed to take care of ya when ya go
Don’ wanna hhafta be one of those guys, there for ya at the very end
And I made a casket for my friend

Vlayman: “Wishin'”

Wishin’
c. ’16 Vlayman

Ever’body feels some uncertainty
It comes with the territory
It’s that o’ insecurity
Makes you afraid of me, ain’t no reason to be

CH:
You been sittin’ there wonderin’,
if you should
And I been sittin’ here wishin’,
wishin you would

You ain’t the only one feelin’ yerself sweat
And we ain’t even begun yet
I bet you kinda wish we was already done
And you coud get to say,, “Take me home, I had fun”

CH

RAP double-time:
Ever’body feels some insecurity
Ever’body feels some inferiority
It’s that demon uncertaintainty
Makes you so afraid of me
You ain’t the only one feelin’ yerself sweat
We could have alotta fun we just ain’t begun yet
You ain’t never gonna wanna be completely done
We gonna make so much good lovin’, lovin’, lovin’
Ain’t got be askeered, is what I’m tellin’ you
Tho’ I confess, I’m a li’l askeered, too
But we arrived with mutual expectations
Our fascination’s gonna turn to appreciation

Vlayman: “Younger Women (Hey, Hey!)”

Younger Women (Hey, Hey!)
c. ’16 Vlayman

Standing in the shadows of lust
I been shakin’ t’il I rattle and cuss
Standin’ in the shadows of love
I’m gonna do what I must

Hey, hey

Lookin’ at ya through half closed eyes, yeah
You make me think about how I wanna die

CH: Hey, hey, what is it about younger women
Puts me in mind of what I ain’t been givi n’ (#2 gettin’)
Ain’t just a line that I’m singin’,
about my loneliness?

Smellin’ yer tears, tastin’ yer hair
What doya fear? Why can’t ya stay?
Why can’t ya stay?

Vlayman: “Management”

Management
c. ’16 Vlayman

It’s the kinda thing ya do
when they’re lookin’ at you
Do ya know what I mean
It ain’t really me
I ain’t tryin’ to be mean
_
I don’t mean to push
But if ya knowed what it took

I know ya know what I mean
It ain’t really me
I ain’t meant to be mean
It’s how ya gotta act
When they on yer back
I know ya know what I mean
It ain’t really me
I ain’t tryin’ to be mean

I ain’t better than
q y’all
But it ain’t my call
I’m management

This weren’t my idear, I guess
And I hope yer last check clears real fast
I din’t know what I mean
This ain’t really me
I ain’t really mean

I ain’t better than all y’all
But it ain’t my call
I’m management
