lyrics

Nighttime is when you hear that mumbling.
Before the bite you hear the bark.
Starts with a whisper in the shadows.
Later their screaming in the dark.
How did we get to be so low down?
Why can't we always stay the same?
Next thing you know they're calling for you.
They think they got someone to blame.

Suspicious People
I don't need your trouble.
I can find trouble
On my own.
Suspicious People
I don't need your trouble.
I can find trouble
On my own.
Talking to you just a little bit, little bit.
Won't you listen just a little bit, little bit.
Talking to you just a little bit, little bit.
Getting louder just a little bit, little bit.

I see you read between the pages.
Looking for something in between.
Staying up late into the morning
Watching the static on the screen.
They think somebody must be lying.
You start to spread some of your own.
Instead of bringing trouble trouble.
Sometimes you can't leave it alone.

<Chorus>

Ayo I know these people
They keep an ego.
Try to bring down yaself in 3Fold.
All in your business,
They trying to be close.
But they don't know you,
So how that equal?
Love and friendship,
You pain, no pleasure.
They want you to be insane together.
Some wish you well,
Others wish you dead.
Long as they get fed
Off the space you bled.
Long as they get rest
Off your work and stress.
It's chess
With a few pawns missing I guess.
You looking for the authentic,
Not no Venomous snake
that throw they weight
And put a flaw in it.
Naw baby, that's off limits.
Why keep up with the crawfishes?
Put 'em away, let'em decay.
Get outta my face,
Yo reasonings way outta base.

<Chorus>

about

Hearts of Darkness Kansas City, Missouri

The HOD sound evokes memories of Count Basie, James Brown, and Fela Kuti as seductive vocal and percussive horn choruses flow around cutting hip-hop verses and stretched out instrumental solos, all founded upon a hotpants-tight rhythm section which pulls in fans of all ages, cultures and musical tastes. ... more
