Murs on Writer's Blues (help)

[Wired]

Was listening to Varsity Blues the other day, when I noticed how tight Murs' flow on Writer's Blues (w/Lucky) was. So I started writing the lyrics out...can anyone help me out with the ?? areas?

[MURS]
Man I love hip hop
Some say I take it too serious
But rap is being fake
Always makes me so furious
Mysteriously mad, they say I need a shrink
But I think I gonna to stick to my pen and my pad
My only therapist, my life, and I'm sharing it with y'all
Hoping it can stop you from tearing down and lost
Cause I'm going through it too
Exposing it on tracks and I'm showing it to you
So we can break it down and benefit
Analyze and ???
Skip the cigarettes
Cause that nicotine's a stimulant
It don't calm you down
And alcohol's a lie
And at the bottom of the bottle is where your problem's always found
If I'm sober then I'm down
In a slump bat and zero (??)
Melancholy motherfucker not too happy or too cheerful
Sessions of depression got me stressing up the ???
My family and my friends and that smile ???
But it really don't help the enemies in the mirror
And I can't face myself,
I pray for help
But these drugs ain't working
And I just don't know shit
The only thing for certain feel like I'm about to die
When my chest starts hurting
And I'm thinking that its ???
Cause the antics they prescribe, don't help control my vibe,
I'm gonna live hip hop till the day that I die
Because making good music is all that keeps me alive.

Also had a few question marks for County Blues...I'll post that later.

a couple minor changes in there. I still cant figure out what he says after smiles.

[Cleanhobo]

My family and my friends send their smiles *And it's thoughtful*

I might be missing a word or two here, but it's definitely thoughtful that he rhymes with "awful."

[hypnotic]

Nice man. That's definately it.

here ill just put it out like a final copy lol:

Thanks guys...

Now, just a little help with County Blues. I think I got it down, you might just need to check:

[Murs]
Hey mom,
They got be down at the sub station
And this punk ass CO is testing my patience
Naw momma, don't cry, cause its not that serious
I'm drunk, and I'm tired and a little bit delirious
But other than that, I'm gonna be OK,
It's just a misdemeanor and an overnight stay
Anyway, I had to call,
Because you're the only person I could count on,
Not to fail, to make sure I don't get caught up in some county jail,
Nah, I don't need bail,
I'll be out tomorrow morning,
That's when they read my name
They don't come up with no warrants
Naw, ain't do nothing
But you know how they do, they could make something up
If they really wanted to,
So what I need from you
Is to be at the Inglewood court about 2
That's when the judge will hear my case
And it'd really do me good, to you know, see your face
But since I don't have a whole lot of time to waste
Let me apologize
For being a disgrace
Next for the stress
And calling you so late
Please know this is a call that I never wished to make
I tried to avoid it
All throughout my youth I did my dirt smart that way
I stood alouf to the system and its prisons
Always made the right decisions
You know, weed not crack
Crylie not gats
It was that type of logic
That kept me out the trap
I could've just snapped
Like the rest and went crazy
But that's not in my nature, and not how you raised me
I felt I owed you better
Than a couple saturday visits
Some jailhouse flicks
And some poorly written letters
Plus we had a little cheddar, that you worked so hard for
Why would I waste it all just to act hardcore
That's why you won't believe what they threw me in the car for
Not for drunk driving
Fighting on no drug shit
Mom, they threw me in the jailcell for pissing in public

(x6)
Momma put your house up
So I can bounce up
Out this motherfucker
That's why I love ya

(I love ya)

[Orbt1]

thats my fav murs verse, and as corny as it sounds that verse and just the whole varsity blues ep helped me get thru alot of shit....

i think its...

Doctors don't know shit,
Thats the only thing thats,
certain feel like I'm about to die
When my chest starts hurting
And I'm thinking that it's curtains
Cause the xanax's they prescribe, don't help control my vibe,

[Cleanhobo]

It's definitely Xanex, the anti-depressant.
