lyrics

I've been kickin' rocks in a universe of wannabe gun cockers,
But these faux pistol packers settled for being balloon poppers.
I've been smashed into lockers by dudes with similar tantrums
back in high school when I sported the grin of a phantom.
Back then I wasn't packin' gold magnums or makin' music,
I was putting up with abuse from stupid useless mutants.
Normalcy wasn't normal, so I slept with the lights on;
Now I write songs like this mic is a pipebomb.
but back then the fashion was anti,
Staring at the sun in a universe of low-fi.
Damn, I know I'm exaggerating the frustration
and lack of patience in this former mental patient.
But the wounds on elbows from scraping pavement
were latent, I swear it wasn't just the injuries from skating.
I painted my sins gold and sold em to some scenesters,
This is the fairy tale of how this do-er ripped off the dreamers!

Big bangs and band aides,
So much for shallow graves.
When life hands you rocks
Make a fucking hand grenade!


I took to makin' funny faces at dummies locked in cages,
And my crooked teeth were blatant, even though I went through braces.
The picture wasn't finished, and the planning was haphazard;
Had some run in's with the 5-0, they were hatin' on my swagger
Like they used to do on TV to those Dukes of Hazzard boys.
Unemployed, with fun enjoyed, I stared into the growing void.
Knowing noise can draw attention, I threw away all hope for a pension;
And studied the faces people make when ugly words are mentioned.
Changed the sentences to paragraphs, hell no I never fight fair!
This world can be a nightmare, and the graveyard is right there!
I've seen mighty men wearing masks and taking nips from flasks;
I've lived with hairy smelly potheads taking knife hits of hash.
Never was much of a cash earner or casual observer;
but when burger hits the burner bitch emcee's hush to a murmur;
So with this new found lack of knowledge I'm crashing my pen into paper
with the fervor of a hater and hopes of leaving a fuckin' crater.

about

Eager Maniacs Marquette, Michigan

The Upper Michigan hip hop duo Eager Maniacs are as bad as they are weird, as hip hop as they are punk rock, and as cynical as they are eager.

Stark’s synth-laden minor-chord beats paired with Gerko’s aggressive, nasally staccato-rap makes for a sonically provocative combination.

They're here to fling blood and pulp at a new generation of hip hop heads.
