Lyrics
Am I An Artist?




Am I an artist? am I an artist
Genius? jerk I can still make it work
No I'm not Mozart, Bach, or Beethoven
Tell me if it's art..is this music being spoken
No joke with my pen..people think I'm jokin'
please that's it. Not broke. Don't fix it
The voice that....I know..people won't admire
As a little kid NO I wasn't singing in a choir
But, I got ..energy ..buzzin like.. live wires
Spitting out heat Like a house on fire

So, am I an artist?
A genius, or a jerk?
Am I the smartest,
Or avoiding harder work?
Is this just an ego trip
Or a masterpiece?
When I'm letting it rip
Is it just tension I release?

I maybe no Coltrane, Dizzy, or Bird
when I'm ready to go ..I can blow these words
I can link them, rip them...I can even ride them
Get inside your heart deep!.. I can stop the beat
heart beating.................................................
...................................................................

So, am I an artist
A genius, or a jerk?
Am I the smartest,
Or avoiding harder work?
Is this just an ego trip
Or a masterpiece?
When I'm letting it rip
Is it just tension I release?







I'm hyper I'm active, active when I'm hyper
Bouncing back and forth ..when you're wet I'm the wiper
manic, depressive . going up and down
Like a child I'm regressive..hard to have around
need to be alone it's time I concentrate
Need me for anything! It's gotta wait
1 2 3 yeah

So, am I an artist?
A genius or a jerk?
Am I the smartest,
Or avoiding harder work?
Is this just an ego trip
Or a masterpiece?
When I'm letting it rip
Is it just tension I release?

Tell me if you feel this..could it be familiar?
Across the atlantic flying like Amelia
manic, depressive going up and down
like a child i'm regressive..hard to have around
nervous, reactive..anger like bruce banner
every day's a trigger...my ego's gettin (bigger)


So, am I an artist?
A genius, or a jerk?
Am I the smartest,
Or avoiding harder work?
Is this just an ego trip
Or a masterpiece?
When I'm letting it rip
Is it just tension I release?
Tension I release
Tension I release

So, am I an artist?
A genius, or a jerk?
Am I the smartest,
Or avoiding harder work?
Is this just an ego trip
Or a masterpiece?
When I'm letting it rip
Is it just tension I release?

So, am I an artist?
A genius, or a jerk?
Am I the smartest,
Or avoiding harder work?
Is this just an ego trip
Or a masterpiece?
When I'm letting it rip
Is it just tension I release?

Tension I release
