A boy who for some unexplained reason grew up only being able to listen to roughneck east coast hip hop and Weird Al Yankovic began looping tapes and rhyming into boomboxes. After that there was Pavement, the Wu Tang Clan, mushrooms, sex, and America. This is the rezult.

Uh Huh
Coolzey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

To all the trash-talking karma slaves fast-talking, I'm amazed at your audacity.
My brain is at capacity cous' 'cus I've had it up to here allaying fears of the insecure.
I'm pickin' up my pen so epic wins occur.
My fans infer their fantasies from jamming to my ramblings while jerks in big shirts and flat brims be battling.
I'm rattling the cages of these tired-ass tigers for a living, but stick to staying humble and forgiving.
There's no bad people, just people having bad days, but that's no excuse.
Don't let 'em drag you into that haze.
The rat maze is miserable.

They love to have company.
Inviting me to lunch, they in the other room chumpin' me.
Sizin' me up.
Trying to figure out the best way to get at my cheese.
Here's an idea: Ask me.
I wouldn't put it past me to give it up for free.
My soul is infinite so there's no way to outlast me.
Whatever you got, whether you like it or not.
You got shit to do so get up out your spot.
You're gonna need a lot of energy.
Need a lot of energy.
Need a lot of energy.
And when you grind and you start to shine, you'll find within and outside of your mind you're gonna meet a lot of enemies.
Meet a lot of enemies.
Meet a lot of enemies.
Uh Huh.
What happens when you dream?
Is it elaborate and free?
This dude was smokin' something, now he's passin' in to me.
I t- I took a sip of the tea.
You see, I see that my name is Zachary and that means '
God will remember me' and so I rest easily amidst my many enemies because I know a couple lives ago they was a friend o' me.
The memory of grudges is what makes us petty motherfuckers.
Pity that we succumb so readily, but steadily the age of the primate is coming to a close whether or not you got your finger up your nose.
From my toes to my fingers, from Coltrane to Mingus, energy flows from fellatio to cunnilingus.
And I don't wanna miss a beat, but I know I gotta let it go in the world of the incomplete.
Whatever you got, whether you like it or not.
You got shit to do so get up out your spot.
You're gonna need a lot of energy.
Need a lot of energy.
Need a lot of energy.
And when you grind and you start to shine, you'll find within and outside of your mind you're gonna meet a lot of enemies.
Meet a lot of enemies.

Meet a lot of enemies.
Uh Huh.
