SOMETIMES, POSSIBILITIES APPEAR GREATEST WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF INCARCERATED, PONDERING NEW INSPIRATIONS FOR YOUR ASSASSINATION LIST.  YOUR OPTIMISM GOES LIMP WITH AN OUT-CRITIQUE, BUT THE CAUSALITY WILL FALL TO PIECES, SO CUT OFF THE GOLDEN CHAIN BEFORE SOMEONE CUTS YOU. SAY NO MORE OF ENCHANTED DAYS. GET UP!

WELL, NOW YOU SEE WHAT YOU WANNA BE. JUST HAVE YOUR PARTY ON TV CAUSE THE MAN FROM MARS WON’T EAT UP BARS WHEN THE TV’S ON, AND NOW HE’S GONE BACK UP TO SPACE WHERE HE WON’T HAVE A HASSLE WITH THE HUMAN RACE AND YOU HIP-HOP, AND YOU DON’T STOP JUST BLAST OFF, SURE SHOT ‘CAUSE THE MAN FROM MARS STOPPED EATIN’ CARS AND EATIN’ BARS, AND NOW HE ONLY EATS GUITARS,  

#getup!

#RAPTURE!
