Brought a rookie home/couldn't get it goin/
so we just gave up/
gave myself away/to another, no/
i can't get enough/
am i sick or phony?
i don't really know me/
you can call my bluff/
am I twisted, lonely?
think the world doth owe me/
so I hurt the ones, yeah/
the ones that mean the most to me/
the ones that feed the family/
'cause i've never had a healthy thing/
I've always been a solo bitch/
(chemical imbalance or just some deeper shit?)
And you ride/ride 'til the end of days/
and you try/even when you are not okay/
and you mean everything you do/
and you mean everything you say/
and you want everything to prove that you are not
the one to blame/
that we are cool/but are we cool?
(repentance on my lips that's just the way it is)
Awaken in distress/help like S.O.S./
feel it drain my soul/
could it be in my blood/is this ancestral mud/
an extreme ebb and flow?
i dig my hands in earth/i quench my body's thirst/
add fire to the core/
don't give into temptation/mind is always racing/
and i'm searching for/
Uniderstand/a little hope/
A plan I can manage/so I can manage/
my highs and lows/
(I didn't ask for this I just want you to know)
And you ride/ride 'til the end of days/
and you try/even when you are not okay/
and you mean everything you do/
and you mean everything you say/
and you want everything to prove that you are not
the one to blame/
that we are cool/but are we cool?
And you ride/ride 'til the end of days/
and you try/even when you are not okay/
Brought a rookie home/couldn't get it goin/
so we just gave up/
gave myself away/to another, no/
i can't get enough/
am i sick or phony?
i don't really know me/
you can call my bluff/
am I twisted, lonely?
I just think I'm hungry/
for some proper love/

Listening to this a few years on, Chapter 319 feels almost melancholic, a reminder of the time where police abolition had nearly mainstream appeal. The tracks still make me furious at the bullshit cops continue to get away with. dninemfive
