Can't Live Without


What can't I live without? 

There's not much for the choosin'

Take all that I have,

But don't mess with my music.

Music so conservative,

CBS news clip.

They say i'm better off dead,

Call me John Cusack.

Eventually material things gon fade away,

Never regret it just like Logic said in Fade Away.

I go for music,

Like when hungry people raid buffets.

And keep the old songs,

Not like a hawk act when his prey decays.

In love with music,

Consume it's essence like a bear to trout.

People that don't know talk too quite,

It's unfair to shout.

Music is like a mill-dew towel,

And you air it out.

Honestly the bottom line is,

Musics all I care about.
