Nothing
Q Strange Lyrics

XAll of my life ever since the beginning
I wanted to fit in I tried but I didnt
I went in, I'm losin they call me a loser
A loner, a stoner, drug user, abuser
A burn out, it turns out I just aint the same
As these kids at my school, they so cool, I'm so lame
Called names, and they tease me
I wish they'd just leave alone but they dont and its so rough to be me
Turn on the TV and all that I see
Video's flashin that image at me

Ya gotta be pretty, with money and perfect
I'm poor and I'm ugly, my life just aint worth it
I'm certainly destined to be a nobody
No money, no nothin, no woman just fuck it
Naw hold up a second I got an idea
Got nothin to lose I got nothin to fear
I could let my life fade away like nothin
Or I could go out big and be known for somethin'
Stay up all night and I plot and I plan
Try not to wake up my sleepin' old man
Sneak and I creep in his room while he's sleepin'
Open the closet I see it I got it
I'm grabbin' his gun and then some ammunition
I bet they'll be wishin' that they stopped the dissin'
Get up in the mornin' I'm loadin' the gun
It'll be fun to watch them kids run
Walk in the school and I'm shakin' and tremblin'
I'm gettin' upset man I'd better forget it

"Hey nice sneakers, where'd ya get them in the garbage?"
"yeah whatever man"
"Shut up loser"

Naw fuck that, thats it, it's enough of this screamin'
Its time to get even and I won't be defeated
I seated in class waitin for the bell
When it rings Ima go up and blast off these shells
Look at these kids with they clothes and they cars
And they fathers who let them live like movie stars
Wit they sneakers that cost more than pops makes in two weeks
I truley can't wait to go and start the shooting
My teacher fuck 'em, don't like him a bit
He said I would grow up not amount to shit
And maybe he's right but that shit is still fucked up
While these kids are mad rich, and bitches are stuck up
Tony, the captain of the football team
Can't wait to see him start runnin' and screamin'
Britney his girl from the chearleading squad
Ima blast and I'll piss on her bloody pom poms
Minutes are ticking and ticking away
Come on bell ring man I aint got all day
Screw it I walk to the front of the class
As the students and staff just look at me and laugh
I grab the gun and I just take it out
They see me and duck, some run and shout
Cockin the glock and I start to just squeeze it
Then somethin happened I couldn't believe it
I just couldn't do it, I'm watchin'em scatter
Standin' here frozen as if it don't matter
Want to, and I just wanna buck
But fuck, I cant even do it I'm stuck
I'm truly a nothing a loser it's true
I can't even do what I wanted to do
I planned all for nothin' I can't take'em out
I pointed the barrel right into my mouth

Q Strange came up in the working class city of Providence RI. Life wasn't always easy for the self proclaimed "Steven King of Hip Hop". He was an only child in a single parent household and had to fend for himself most of his childhood. He always maintained a close relationship with his mother who was a drug addict for most of his young life. At the age of 9 he spent time in a pediatric mental hospital when teachers found he spent most of his time in class making disturbing drawings instead of classwork. Read Full BioQ Strange came up in the working class city of Providence RI. Life wasn't always easy for the self proclaimed "Steven King of Hip Hop". He was an only child in a single parent household and had to fend for himself most of his childhood. He always maintained a close relationship with his mother who was a drug addict for most of his young life. At the age of 9 he spent time in a pediatric mental hospital when teachers found he spent most of his time in class making disturbing drawings instead of classwork. Throughout childhood and into his teenage years the kid who would later be known as "Q Strange" was an outcast. Never getting ahead in his studies and rarely attending classes Q fell in love with the art of hip hop. Even at the age of 12 he was penning verses rather then school essays. Moving around and changing schools it was hard for him to keep friendships outside of his own family. He recorded his first demo at 14 and knew at that moment that this was what he wanted to do with his life. At the young age of 16 Q lost all he had in life and was forced to support himself when his mother passed away due to a drug overdose. Virtually homeless depending on the kindness of friends and family he bounced from place to place doing whatever he could to surivive. Q was heading down the wrong path getting arrested from charges ranging from shoplifting to felony assault before he was 18. It was at this time he hooked up with a local hip hop collective of MC's DJ's and Producers knowns as "3rd floor productions". His friendship with DJ JD would be one that would ultimately change his direction in life. Although the group was low on funds and had limited studio equipment JD acted as a mentor to Q (known as Mista Jinx at the time) and taught him the art of beatmaking and song structure. Recording with the group as well as solo projects he performed shows and ruled the battle circut until the crew dispanded around 1997. Taking a break from music and trying to struggle with the everyday stress of being broke and working hard he returned to the music scene this time with a whole new darker sound and persona. Q recorded Murder Kill in '97 and locally released a bootleg tape with a dark hip-hop sound and graphic horror subject matter that garnered a huge response from a diverse group of music fans. As word of mouth spread, some fans in the midwest dedicated a website to Q Strange introducing him to the world. In 1999 Q released another bootleg entitled "Decayed Thoughts" which was well recieved and earned him enough money to release his professional debut "Creation to ExeQtion" in 2000. The concept album which was an audio horror "movie" with each song connecting to the next telling a chilling sci-fi horror tale of a deranged serial killer developed a cult following and soon Q Strange was known all over the globe as the next big thing in the dark underworld of horrorcore. In 2003 after several deals gone bad with different record labels Q independently released his second album "Strangeland". This album brought the murderous style that his fans had come to know by now, but also balanced out with more "traditional" hip-hop songs and emotional tracks proving that there was more to Q Strange than just a gimmick. Both albums moved thousands of units with no distribution outside of mail order and consignment deals with various merchants, and was widely bootlegged all over the world. That in addition to extreme high energy live shows earned Q a huge fanbase, and got the attention of the music industry as different labels showed intrest in signing him. In late 2004 Q Strange inked a deal with Mad Insanity Records joining the ranks of underground legends such as Ganxsta NIP, Mastamind (NATAS), and Flatlinerz along with other highly respected up and comers such as Bay Area horrorcore artist and CEO Mars. Mad Insanity will re-release the first two albums with proper distribution making the discs easier for fans to find, and release a new highly anticipated album that will be sure to make waves in the music industry. Q Strange and Mad Insanity Records's vision is to make the world recognize the darkside of underground hip-hop known to its cult following as horrorcore.
