I want to talk about topics under palm leaves in the tropics heart heaves when I hear the news of how soon the kids be leaving us
Couldn't stand to be around us
Couldn't stand to be around themselves
Drugs and the abyss they delve
Numb feeling 
Being here ain't possible
Wonder if they thought it was irresponsible
Not knowing if it was today or tomorrow
Oh what was there sorrow 
It's too soon the kids be leaving us
It's too soon the kids be leaving us
You know you in the same boat when it's the other type of feeling 
No fuss
Just silence and another one keeling
Switch channels 
Closet full of flannels 
Put one on my chest button it to keep myself together though I test 
With loneliness making breathing laborious
F**k with being faded to pass time but always wonder what's next 
Perplexed how I let myself go
Onto the next I want to know
I can go with the river flow 
No one is in tow
I can be doing this for days but I'm trying to catch some rays 
Switch channels 
Now I'm riding a camel
Ripping off the panels trying to find the keys to the matrix 
No I don't wear latex
Switch channels 
Light some candles 
For my funeral
Feel like I got tboned and no medicine is consumable
First responders phones said I go to hard
Said I got my lyricist card
I'm a freak of nature around me isn't safer
Might trip a wire or cause a fire
With how smooth I go on this beat
Have you glued to the seat
Switch channels 
Might get on the piano 
Shall know what these fingers work
Ay, no bright lights follow 
Get the pitch forks 
When the promises told ring hollow
I go switch channels 
Pop champagne and look at trophies over my mantle
One comes one goes
All thoughts I know 
The devil and angel on my shoulder will show
But who should I listen to when I'm low
Drinking full kegs and snorting blow that's how 'll go
Switch channels 
Topics to which I can travel 
Pick and choose like piracy 
I can see which one is for me
Or will to be 
Sometimes it gets slow as tar
Nothing to make these bars 
So be switching channels
Riding camels
Picking flannels
Ripping off panels 
On and on and on and on
