As you might have seen, we were holding a contest for the SSPrisonite that brought the most people to our Stubbs show. Check it:
Well...the winner of that Contest was Die Hard SSP Supporter Anthony Tod!! He sold over 15 presale tix and brought more people the day of...so...from the above mentioned...Anthony has chosen for Keith to wear Jeans!! Keep on the lookout for which show this will go down at.
This Saturday SSP co-headlines Hanover's Memorial Day Festivities on Saturday with Broken Teeth. Talk about a memorial day to remember!! Come check it out:
Alright, with that out of the way, I have been rec'ing several inquires about lyrics for SSP tunes. We don't print the lyrics in our Album notes, nor do I have them posted anywhere. So, I'm going to start a little series called, "The Lyrical Gangsta" where I'll post and explain the lyrics and what they mean. Got a song that's making you scratch your noggin?? Email me at: matt@snakeskinprison.com and we'll see if we can't scratch that itch.
Today I'm going to start with an oldie but a goodie:
"Let it Roll"
You can hear it HERE!!
Let me take you on a little trip down a dark black road not far from here
(I was driving at night down a back road in WV)
A trip I took now I wasn’t alone but I was so damn lonely so far from home
(I had a gal with me, whom I would end up dating for several years later on in life...so I wasn't alone, however I was very mixed up with where I was going in life...so I felt very alone)
Late night black light no head lights, down a one way road doing 95
(it was after midnight, and I was drunk and forgot to take the black out covers off my headlights...I was flying down the backroads of WV)
That radio blaring rock n roll…I heard a scream so loud nearly shook my soul
(My CD Player was blaring Motley Crue, I looked down to turn it up and the fine feline screamed at me cause I had ran off the road)
*At this point my truck flips 5 times and lands back on it's wheels*
Just when I thought that it was the end, I cranked it back up and I did it again
(this line has a couple meanings, the truck landed on it's wheels, and I remember cranking the motor...it started and I tried to drive off...unsuccessfully. Also it's a reference to how even though I had made a huge mistake it would be years, and a couple more wrecks before I would learn my lesson).
I said, O..No…nasty reputation having too much fun
Here we go…some like to let it rock…I let it roll
(I had a reputation of loving to party...and still do I suppose. The title "Let it Roll" is in reference to my truck rolling 5 times)
Knocking on a house that never existed, was the shock of my life now I finally admit it
(This is funny now that I look back on it...but I was so out it I was knocking on a barn that I thought was a house...then proceeded to realize and try to walk to a house I saw in the distance and walked right into an electric fence...hence the shock of my life)
Put my back to the stretcher on the floor…when they asked if I was done I was screaming for more
(Once the Ambulance arrives, I was just wanting to go home, the Head dude informed me that the state police were on their way and if I was there I would have to take a breathalyzer and field test. I then grabbed the stretcher myself...laid it on the ground, hopped on and said "alright let's go!")
Just when I thought that I was free, they asked for the driver they pointed at me
(as we pulled out I heard and saw the blue lights...and thought EFF!...the police officer looked in and said, "who was driving??" and everyone pointed at me.)
*Note on the album I say, "pointed at Keef" for dramatic effect*
Chorus
For the record I went on to the hospital. I remember being pulled out and the first 2 faces I saw was my mom and sister. They were smoking so fast I thought they were eating them. By the Grace of God I didn't get a ticket and no one was severely hurt. The girl with me broke her collar bone, and I felt bad for that, but then again she climbed in the vehicle with me, I didn't tell her to go!! ;)
Now that I'm in Austin we have a thing called, "CABS", and I don't have to drive anywhere!! 512 452 9999 <-in my speed dial!!
Be careful out there folks it's a hard knock life and we'll never get outta here alive!!
Until Next Time!!
