Recertification Funk
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

I was born to give good love
I was born to tear shit up
I was born to be a hypocrite
I was born to have a bunch of kids
I was born to be America’s dream 
I was born to be the loser’s king
I was born to fucking sing
But you weren’t
You were born to be better than me
You were born for A’s not D’s
You were born to tell me what to do
I was born to belong to you
I was born for you to slap
I was born to babble out this crap
Now I’m through
Well it’s true
Now I’m through
Well it’s true
Now I’m through

You say you hurt but you don’t suffer like me
I think you think I got it easy as you
Sometimes it gets so hard to make up my mind
Instead I find myself I’m constantly wondering
Bout’ what I said to make you cry
And you lied to me and I
Believe every word you’d say
But baby that’s gonna change
Cause’ I can’t love you anymore
I think I wanna take a drive out today
Way fuckin’ out there way out west towards the mountains
I guess there wasn’t anything I could say
My head’s still aching girl from all of your shouting
Around that you never thought you were in love
And I never could do enough
To keep you happy all of your life
But baby that’s all alright
Cause’ I can’t love you anymore
I guess at least we both can say that we tried
Although we both know now we’ll never be nothing
But I still think of you each mile I drive
Can’t help myself from doing all of this wondering
Bout’ what I said to make you cry
And you lied to me and I
Believe every word you’d say
But baby that’s gonna change
Cause’ I can’t love you anymore
And I don’t care, and I don’t care no, I don’t care or so I say
But I’ll move on, I’ll move on anyway
Keep on driving till I’m sane


It’s Not the How but the Why
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

They all knew it was coming
His daddy aint’ right in the head
But not one of them knew him
His smile just scared them away
They all knew he had money
But life aint’ about what your money can buy
Some people won’t be happy
Until the world buys what they say
If only they knew he was so much more
Bolder foes were still trying
While most didn’t care either way
They had worries compiling
First worry survive through the day
All he had was a daddy that laughed
At his name while, at his name while he waged his own war
Though they were sore at his son while
While his son died alone at home


It's Not the How but the Why

Lady Across the Street (The Reggae Song)
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

I used to watch her sitting on the porch
Dreaming of the past
Oh how I'd want her to smile like before
She ever met that man
She claims she loves him and everything is perfectly alright
But I still get frightened when I hear her screams
In the middle of the night
Yesterday I saw her walking through the store, bruise upon her eye
I tried to stop her but she faked like she was hurried and walked on by
He tells her he needs her, don’t ever want to see her with another man
Yet still he beats her to the point where she’s accustomed to the striking of his hand
And I wish she’d leave him
But I know she’ll never leave him I know
Look at one another 
I’m sure that you’ve all seen it
Maybe someone’s mother
Crying as she’s bleeding
But no one ever bothers
As she gets her beating
From her baby’s father
Because she caught him cheating
And the lambs are to the slaughter
Like the lady across the street and
You pray that daddy’s daughter
Will maybe someday leave him
I know


Lady Across the Street (The Reggae Song)

Oh… My God! That Creeper You Just Smiled At? Like Literally Just Stumbled Up Here and Like, Literally Stared At Melanie and Amber For Like….Forever. Then He Yells…What Did He Say? Oh Yeah…Yeah, Yeah! I know!.....You’re So Fat Melanie…He Yells “Marvin’s Gaye! Here My Dear!” Then Literally You Guys, Literally…Giggles Like A Schoolgirl…and Dances Himself Off….Right Over There On That Stool…Don’t Sit There
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

She said she saw me and my sex looked too easy
But she was drinking for a one-night stand
She’d heard the word that her old man had been cheating
To make it worse it was with her best friend
My dear, I’m just happy to be here
Not you buddy, go on bout’ your way
If she meant you buddy she would look your way
And I’m here to hear you night and day
No not you buddy go on bout’ your way
If we meant you buddy we would look your way
She said let’s go you know I’m willing and able
I’ll show you things you’ve only seen on the web
I do this thing with my tongue and my navel
And do you mind if I bring my new friend
My dears I’m just happy to be here
So yes your friend’s more than welcome to cum too
Who am I to deny those such as you
I’ve lived well, hell I’ve lived for two
But never two such as fine as you and you
Who am I to deny my dreams come true
We tried to leave but dudes kept blocking to stop us
We saw the good and bad, but ugly prevailed
The lines were cheaper than those novelty condoms
But there they were a few waiving in the air
My dears I’m just happy to be here
So step aside buddy let us bout’ our way
Who am I? I’m the guy that will get laid
But we’d better fly...and then I saw you walking by 
And I tried for polite on the night of my life
Lost my bearings in time, I bet, you bet
I saw you smile and now I’ll wish these two a good-night
Well miss you know you’re right
I bet, you bet, I, I bet, you bet, I


Here My Dear

Cashier 29469
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

Lindsay Kim just jumped in line
She wants my boss to over-ride her limit, now
And cash a check so she can win what she already put in tonight
Tonight I lost bout’ three grand
She tells the world with a smile
But we know better
To her left is Mr. Bly
Who’s only known as the Cigar Guy
He’s smiling, why?
He’s cashing out for about two grand
Nickles lined them up again, so I
So I, I endure his stench
So I can get me a tip
But we know better
After last week’s losses he can’t spare a penny
I wonder if he knows all the complaints he’s getting
Then there’s Mrs. Rosenthal
Who doesn’t mind the line at all
She’ll even stall
She’s having fun and passing time
She’ll wrap it up just watching life go by
So I, I give her a smile
We watch the drama unfold
For those who feel life is cold
But we know better

Saw You Yesterday
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

I saw you yesterday and I was honestly amazed
I didn’t think the change would find that you remain the same
Beauty from the day, too long ago to say
And I feel the years inside my bones
All those lives I’ve led and all the many things I’ve done
So I walk your way remembering the day
The signs had hidden both our view
Cause I saw your boys with you
I guess I never knew how busy you’d been too
All those times we had just laughing in between we’d both do just one thing
All the talks we had now you’re having them with the guy that’s smiling standing next to you
High and low the river flows and so I go 
and smile next to you I but I
Still wish I tried for you
Smiling next to you


Saw You Yesterday

Lost Part-time at the Hilton
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

Believe in riddles, pens and needles
Puddles fizzle when you come
Puzzles find you, make you wander
Makes your brainstem high again
Plots from prison, state your business
Sink in deeper with your pen
Flowing slowly, soft and lonely
Never taint the chance again
What’s the reason for the fall this time
Music too loud for you to hide from
Come around me and get lost again
Never know who or where you’ve been
Lost in season, blessed by reason
Cramped and crumped up through the snow
Please your lost one smoke your last one
Bombed out till the sun don’t show
Wax and makeup, space you take up
Lost since breakup, fuck a game
Shuttle-rockets, brass in pocket
Slug a Fat Tire down again
What’s the reason for the fall this time
Music too loud for you to hide from
Come around me and get lost again
Never know who or where you’ve been


Lost Part-time at the Hilton

The Long Run 
Royce Kekahbah/Eliot Kekahbah

Draw...blood
She left the grotto cause tomorrow there won’t be another sunrise
Bring it on she said calmly with a smile like thalidomide
I am, and I’m here, and I chose as she rose she said those statements to no one but the pit of fear
Because she’ll try baby, try baby, she likes a challenge that’s why baby, why baby
Don’t be a pussy she sighs baby, sighs baby, you've seen worse and you’re alive baby, strive baby
I like the long run, don’t you?
She says while she goes by you and I running from what she’s running right into
Draw
She isn’t always kind, just blame it on the mind that makes hills where she will pass em still pushing through countless walls to make the climb
Because she’ll try baby, try baby, she likes a challenge that’s why baby, why baby
Don’t be a pussy she cry’s baby, cry’s baby, you’ve sheen worse and you’re alive baby life baby 
There’s nothing given in life take it, life take it, the greatest blasphemy’s life wasted, life wasted
She’d never say that but I’ll say it, I’ll say it, the greatest blasphemy’s life wasted, life wasted
Cause in the long run


The Long Run

F5
Royce Kekahbah /Eliot Kekahbah

You’ll hear me comin’ from a mile
Rumbling, humbling all life in the vicinity
I’m spittin’ buildings while I’m uprootin’ every tree
I could demolish your life or I could pass you by
I got nature’s wrath on my side for the time and I might
Stop on by
When I gets mean the sun goes green
And I got friends made of wind
When they touch down we toss boulders around
We’re the motherfuckers that’ll shoulder the rock
Yeah we’re the motherfuckers that’ll toss the rock
No need to lie you’ll wanna hide
Run with loved ones and fly to where you think you’re safe
I’m headed your way and my friend’s eyein’ up your place
Try to look normal the eyes of children see your fright
Myself I smell it and I think you’re right because I might
Stop on by
When I gets mean the sun goes green
And I got friends made of wind
When they touch down we toss boulders around
We’re the motherfuckers that’ll shoulder the rock
Yeah we’re the motherfuckers that’ll toss the rock
