about

GutterGods focuses on owning your failures and defying their limitations instead of accepting the imposed disappointment that life divvies without impunity. It’s a jesters coronation; a Phoenix myth personified to the disbelief and utter astonishment of the doubters and detractors alike. It’s spitting in the eyes of the Gods defiantly as they levy their presumed final judgment. Resilient and uncannily optimistic in nature, It’s an appreciation for the dirt and muck that life buries us in for it understands dirt is a necessary component for growth and evolution. With this indispensable knowledge, the street urchin becomes a king and the gutter, his throne.

lyrics

Tabinstereo:

I Found God in the gutter
On the turnpike level
This is more like Trouble
I am oh so subtle
ocho doubled over ∞
Hit em with the verbal yoga
-Vertigo from going where I shouldn't go to
Draw the shutters
Start creating with the shut ins
Make nothing out of something
I been too woke to function
-peep the deconstruction
Rite before the introduction
excluded with instructions
The Buddha got a question
don't chase the narrative
Odds are they are comparing us
THe signal from obelisk preparing us
Polish off the bottle still anonymous
In old age
work day what a dull blade
Flow state
Take shape
Rotate
No taste
Open
Shut
No case
Blow the whistle
Pork face
I've been having off days
Tucked in the crawl space
shadow in the hall ways
Big bird
Small cage
New level
No saves

Taboo:

Preparing for lift off like space camp bout to face this plant til I face plant life hit me in the nuts with a kick it threw from crane stance, spewing insane rants I'm truly a changed man

Ruining ya day plans this wasteland is so savage I see it all cause I poked a hole in these Rose glasses
I'm the Phoenix that rose from its own ashes like a soul passing as it rose like a ghost out of a closed casket ..an obstacle will get its whole ass kicked you better know I set a goal then I John Doe toe tag it... rolling down the road in an old classic slower than moe-lasses catching brain in my whip like Onassis

They slow our passage with the roads that they block but you can't break the broken whether u hope to or not there's power in the practice we're not going to stop, a flower in the attic; we rose to the top

Diabolic:

It's been an uphill climb as I approach the summit
I'm just hoping that I overcome it-time to go in fuck it
Broke as fuck and over budget-moving slow and sluggish
Stemming from the thorns in my side but I rose above it

Ducking what I'm told to covet son it's so seductive
And the strings attached it holds you up with-just control a puppet
I ain't with that bullshit unless it's growing fungus
Broken up and sold to stoners near my home in Suffolk

I analyze the circle in my photo bucket
Smoking dutches-'til I see the whole circumference-like a golden compass
As for social justice-I picture blowing trumpets
While the 54th civil war soldiers load their muskets

I picture Lincoln quoting Douglass-and hope to uplift
Like a tractor beam moving those UFOs abducted
So in closing here's a gem I told my youngest
Set a goal and never slow 'til you're close enough to cobra clutch it...
