Along with Thin Lizzy, the most disappointing bands I've ever seen. Both down to the front men. Oh yeah and The Who.
Flea is my bass hero and made me learn to play bass. So the Chili peppers can do no wrong imo. That said, I saw them only once. At Wembley area, the sound was **** and I had to go up in the seats as I was on crutches.
Our local rock venue is owned by a bloke who is in a RHCP tribute band, he's the bass, mate of mine who also plays bass, says everytime he sees them, he just watches in amazement, wishing he was half as good.
Too much I done said a lotta things in my day, I admit it This is payback in a way, I regret it that I did it I done won a couple Grammys, but I sold my soul to get 'em Wasn't in it for the trophies, just the ****in' recognition ****'s the difference? I'm that cracker, bend the law, **** the rules Man I used to risk it all, now I got too much to lose I been eatin' long enough, man my stomach should be full I just ate, lick the plate, my buffet, lucky me **** you think? (Woo!) I got a couple of mansions Still I don't have any manners You got a couple of ghostwriters But to these kids, it don't actually matter They're askin' me "What the **** happened to hip-hop?" I said "I don't have any answers" 'Cause I took an L when I dropped my last album It hurt me like hell but I'm back on these rappers And actually coming from humble beginnings I'm somewhat uncomfortable winning I wish I could say "What a wonderful feeling!" We're on the upswing like we're punchin' the ceiling But nothin' is feeling like anyone has any ****in' ability To even stick to a subject, it's killin' me, the inability to pin humility Hatata batata, why don't we make a bunch of ****in' Songs about nothin' and mumble! And **** it, I'm goin' for the jugular **** is a circus, you clowns that are comin' up Don't give an ounce of a motherfuck About the ones that were here before you that made rap, let's recap Way back, MC's that wreak havoc on tape decks ADATs, where the G Raps and Kanes at? We need 3 Stacks ASAP, and bring Masta Ace back Because half of these rappers have brain damage All the lean rappin', face tats, syruped out like tree sap I don't hate trap, and I don't wanna seem mad But in fact, where the old me at? The same cat that would take that Feedback and aim back, I need that But I think it's inevitable They know what button to press or what lever to pull To get me the snap though (lil' bitch) And if I pay it attention I'm probably makin' it bigger But you've been takin' the dicks In the ****in' back, ho (get it?) On the brink, any minute Got me thinkin' of finishin' everything With acetaminophen and reapin' the benefits I'm asleep at the wheel again As I peak into thinkin' about an evil intent Of another beat, I'ma kill again 'Cause even if I gotta end up eatin' a pill again Even ketamine or methamphetamine With the minithin, it better be at least 70 to 300 milligram And I might as well 'cause I'ma end up bein' a villain again Levels to this **** I got an elevator You could never say to me I'm not a ****in' record breaker I sound like a broken record every time I break a record Nobody could ever take away the legacy I made, I never cater Motherfucker now I got a right to be this way I got spite inside my DNA But I wrote 'til the wheels fall off, I'm workin' tirelessly, ayy It's the moment y'all been waitin' for Like California wishin' rain would pour And that drought y'all have been prayin' for My downfall from the 8 Mile to the Southpaw Still the same Marshall that outlaw That they say as a writer might've fell off I'm back on that bull like the cowboy I done said a lotta things in my day, I admit it This is payback in a way, I regret it that I did it I done won a couple Grammys, but I sold my soul to get 'em Wasn't in it for the trophies, just the ****in' recognition ****'s the difference?
