James Bernard Guiltinan, Solid Savage - This Time and Then Lyrics

Yeah, whoever
Dude, how do you turn this thing on?
Yo, is it recording?
Hey, this song is for everyone
S**** it, I'll just shut the f*** up

"8 ball" what can I say
Maybe I'm like you in a way
At the West Coast Mobile Home when I was trying my magic
You might have prevented me from doing something tragic
I wish someone had recorded the magic on film
It only happened once. But it was truly from another realm
I played your poems when I needed a lift
When I was psychotic I even battled your gift
I tried to be Merlin walking my mile
We just have a different sort of trial

And I was whatever you say I was
If I wasn't, then why would I might have been?
In the paper, the news, every day I'm not
Radio wouldn't ever play my jam
'Cause I am whoever I say I am
If I wasn't, then why do you think I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I'm not
It's what I am this time and then

Earbuds or headphones. Mostly at night
Coyotes giving city slickers a fright
Sometimes I could hear an Owl
My expression wasn't always a scowl
There's a Castle on the mountain
Where the Indian Face is there's no drinking fountain
I identified with you every step of the way
I think I resurrected to Arthur yesterday
I Yam what I Yam, just another g
Like a druid. You'll find me under a tree

And I was whatever you say I was
If I wasn't, then why would I might have been?
In the paper, the news, every day I'm not
Radio wouldn't ever play my jam
'Cause I am whoever I say I am
If I wasn't, then why do you think I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I'm not
It's what I am this time and then

Cobain was right, music is dope
Thanks OG for giving us hope
If it's Camelot, it's Merlin's late afternoon light
That the younger generations never cared, would be his longest night
Whether I'd do it all again depends
I'd like to open a textbook to make amends
Nobody has their past. Some have more and better memories. But don't squeal
Compared to Today. Memories aren't that good of a deal
If my son will next be Arthur. And my story right
May his dawn be bright

And I was whatever you say I was
If I wasn't, then why would I might have been?
In the paper, the news, every day I'm not
Radio wouldn't ever play my jam
'Cause I am whoever I say I am
If I wasn't, then why do you think I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I'm not
It's what I am this time and then
