about
This is the opening track to the mixtape of the same name. At this point in the narrative the protagonist, Tay, has just gotten off work. He is en route to a Thursday night party at a friend's house. He tries to banish the negative thought forms that haunt him. Despite his bad mood Tay finds pleasure in his identity as a fine artist. He finds release from his negative thoughts within his community of creative homies.
lyrics
Good Luck, Bad Luck
tonight I just don't give a fuck
Call my homies, see what's up
weekday party, clear a rut
This week been chasin' Dollars
and it don't make sense
Overtime hours with no benefits
Make me wanna holler how my time be spent
Workin for the man and I can't afford the rent
forget about today
Moons out so it's time to play
I'm walking down the street
watchin oak trees sway
sometimes I wind myself up, make myself cray
once i see my homies, everything's gonna be okay
I need to chill
these thoughts I need to kill
Went to art school and my art skillz real!
But they don't wanna teach ya
how to pay your fuckin bills
come up out the system and you get them raw deals
Now I got a job workin for some circus seals
today was a wash, maybe suicide by pills
dark shadows on my mental
fuckin up my temple
feed 'em to the flames
make all my problems simple
( Lucky Penny Black Cat
Show em where the magic's at
Art is like a witchcraft
Incantations like Math
Symbols out the Acid bath
Abstract I draw that
A tome of my Dreams
Lucky Penny Black Cat)
I'm eatin Kellogs
hangin with my brujahs
we talk cabbalas
bullfrogs and cheetahs,
make margaritas
double as baristas
Dreamer Psychic Sleepers
Watchin Pisces Jesus
Eatin Fancy Cheeses
the magic never ceases
talkin to a preacher
tells me anythings a teacher
well I'm a true believer
good vibes are a healer
i need some trans figur ation
maybe I can be a dealer
(chorus x2)
