Intro - The Chicharones, Josh Martinez, Sleep

There’s a reason why i rerelease and redo each track til it feels new

In fact but here’s just a few

I want my best shit known as soon its finished

But i don’t polish it, that’s why quality sucks and i acknowledge it

The first time you hear it you like it, but you were drunk and the mic clipped

Or maybe the hype track slipped back between dope and wack

You wanted the track to be the type where people move they feet

Or maybe you just think you could do the verse better on another beat whatever

There’s reasons, and some are cash related

I need to raise funds to fuel the fire fill it full of drugs

And booze and do a highwire act on the road kerouac

I unload steady doses from the good doctor

Read a lot about the way things supposed to go down

But i do what i feel is right, right now, so what now?

Gotta have the hot shit wherever i go

I don’t do this for the dough, but how you s’pose a rep grows

I tour for like 9 months a year, and i’m all for

Putting out an album, release it once and get pounds

But i never have the money it costs to press 1000

So i make em in batches and keep my costs down

I like to take time to consider the route my rhyme patterns take

Along the track, kick snare hi hat break

I get em done dumped and half done, but um oh well

Does this tactic in fact hurt well, time will tell

I don’t make my music fast, see a song takes time

But if you take time with songs, they get better all the time

I take a song out to dinner tryin work the nerve to touch it

Maybe let it share my forty full of whiskey from kentucky

Some lucky 7 fuck it heaven’s closer than i thought

Maybe i’m supposed to make a go at getting hip and quitting pot

But i’m addicted to bootleggin so i’m sorry if you spot

Another version of the cd that you bought i’m sorry

This is an intro to my album

Read the info on the artwork

It’ll tell youhow to reach me

There’ll be a barcode, and a logo

And you’ll know for a fact that every actual track made

Comes from the guts when the dues are back paid

No more bootlegging its so retarded

Now open your bottles lets get started
