This ain´t no motherfuckin´ stick up just pick the stick up
And watch it roll real close rolling out my hand ´til
It cracks to that fucking dome living off the curb
That peels you from the curb I lick the rest off
Do you dig many in ´93 been making them fools ´bout
Round bumping around me you´ll want to run from
Underground at the best walk the live from
The verb on the beats I won´t see you fuckin´ head

Peers I flow
And mother she
Won´t drain herself
And won´t be caught in
All live in a big world
Began just because

My life is un-rise - wipe
The lyrical did - did
Because my life is un-rise - wipe
The lyrical did - did

My life is un-rise - wipe
The lyrical did - did
Because my my life is un-rise - wipe
The lyrical did - did

Get straight quickly
Been making them fools ´bout
Round bumping around me you´ll want to run from
Underground at the best walk the live from
The verb on the beats I won´t see you fuckin´ head

Peers I flow
And mother she
Won´t drain herself
And won´t be caught in
She did what
She did what
She did what

Just because my life is un-rise - wipe
Lyrical - did
Because my life is un-rise - wipe
The lyrical did - did

Because my life is un-rise - wipe
Lyrical - did
Because psycho - wipe
Lyrical - did

Wipe - did - wipe - did
First one - wipe
Lyrical - did
Last one - wipe
Lyrical - did

Begin in me because
My psycho - wipe
What lyrical - did
Stop the fuckin´ - wipe
The lyrical - did

Big into the wipe - did - wipe - did
Wipe - did - wipe - did

    I like your interpretation TheHappiestColour, and Disposition, his lyrics have made more sense in successive albums but are still cryptic as hell! I've read in some Deftones interviews that they really don't consider this a true representation of themselves because they have progressed and changed so much.

    I for one will always like Adrenaline though! The whole album reminds me of growing up in some cracked neighborhood and it kind of reminds me of my youth. I think the lyrics kind of spill out on the album because he is just kind of spewing his past out without thinking.

    Deftones is a band that I notice is very much straight from the heart. They don't calculate much in their songs and just belt it! I know Chino in an interview said when they collaborated with Maynard (MJK from Tool), they were all surprised at how MJK took a lot of time to create his pieces from a certain formula, while the Deftones just winged theirs! I love both bands (they are my favorite), but I definitely like Chino's methods. It seems so raw that way.

    Although Tool is just so awesome in the music they create. True Geniuses.
