Anything Goes
Skratch Bastid Lyrics

Anything goes (yeah)
The sky’s the limit

Anything goes (yeah)
There are no limits

Look (anything goes)
Pay attention

Low and behold my mojo's outta control
I’m feeling good and confident

Back at it I'm no joke going for gold
I’m focused and aiming high

I've been around put it down all over the globe
I’ve traveled the world and made an impact

Still the Nova Scotian in me comes outta my mouth
I still retain my Canadian roots

The East Coast, my accent is evident
I speak with a distinctive regional accent

No neglecting it I represents my residents
I’m proud of where I come from and represent it well

The East Coast, and I don't hang with anyone whose selfish
I only associate with selfless people like myself

Pass the weed I can smell it
I’m aware of my surroundings

I'm heavyweight attitude like Chevy Chase
I have a confident, bold attitude like the comedian

I'm over thirty it's too late for you to set me straight
I’m too old for unsolicited advice

I don't ball, I ball hockey
I don’t play basketball, I play ice hockey

I'm what you call cocky, Bob Marley meets Paul Coffey
I’m confidently self-assured, like a mix between Bob Marley and Paul Coffey

People wake up, top of the morn'
Wake up and be alert

I've been a motherfucker way before my daughter was born
I’ve been a badass for a long time

Turn the clocks back and check the lock on your door
Be careful and stay safe

Because it ain't safe outside no more when
The world is becoming more dangerous

I ain't on the same schedule as most
I’m different than most people

My demeanor and my timing is a little off beat
I might be a little unconventional in how I act and when I do things

Whether it's rhymes or the marketing schemes or the beats
Whether it’s my music or its promotion

Best believe everything it's all me
It’s all my vision and hard work

I'm on stage freestyling off the head
I’m improvising on stage

Got the crowd reaching up trying to grab me like the walking dead
The audience is excited and engaged

I love hip-hop but fuck rap
I love the art form but I have issues with its mainstream form

Y'all can suck a dick and lick the nut sack to the butt-crack
I’m not fond of certain aspects of mainstream rap

Life's a journey not a destination
Life is about the journey, not just the end goal

People go and try to burn me with no hesitation
Some people try to bring me down without reason

Can't change, you can only change me
I can only change myself, not the opinions of others

I ain't losing any sleep we ain't in the same league
I’m not bothered by people who are not on my level

Fans ain't buying albums anymore
The music industry has changed

'Cause everyone's trying to make singles
Artists are more focused on making hit singles

Stop trying to pop over night like a Pringle
Success takes time and effort, it’s not instant gratification

I built a foundation, a real fan base
I’ve worked hard to create a loyal following

Yeah it don't take much convincing
It doesn’t take a lot to persuade people

To coax and to rope in
To lure them in

These hoes when coke's in the nose and
Some women make bad decisions when under the influence

Girls acting like morons, face covered in makeup
Some women can act foolishly and feel insecure

Putting more on and more on
Adding more layers of makeup

Maybe it's a fact that I'm a father to a daughter
As a father to a daughter, I’m more aware of how women are portrayed

But a lot of these broads act real fucking dumb
Many women can act unintelligent and irrational

Don't get it wrong I enjoy having fun
I’m all for having fun

But I know not to burn when I'm taking in the sun
I’m cautious and responsible

Check the metaphors
Pay attention to my lyrics

I don't contaminate the reservoir
I don’t negatively impact the community

I stay pure over thinking 'til my head is sore
I stay true to myself even if it causes me stress

I see what I see, I know what I know
I see things for what they are

But yo, somethings got to give when anything goes
We need to have some common sense even in a world without boundaries
