The Roach

Hello hello welcome to the show
We are backstage with the Lord's
Who are up next set to perform
Trent Dilfer here
Let's see if I can bend the ear
Oh hold up I see Jesse approach
Jesse Jesse, Trent D from the roach
Trent D what's up man we've seen you
Grew up on your articles and reviews
Used to dream through
What to say if this moment ever deemed true
Now we here man what a surreal move
This is a real dude
Still recall your Picasso interview
The way he explained artistry was simple smooth
I was eighth grade smoking roaches reading Roach
You're a big inspire to myself and DJ Fidel Castro
Castro hear I can vouch for that
I would go from rock to rap
Illmatic to amnesiac
Study all the elements and how they would compose a track
Very inspirational to how I now approach the craft
Myself and Castro curated sound and flow
Through ounce and pound of smoke
To sober as the pope
Whether if we did it faded
Now sober and impatient
It's always been the love not so much whether we make it
Don't twist me with the statement
Still striving for greatness
Performances in venues
Turnouts far from vacant
Interviews like this that don't exist just in my matrix
Hit the real to though what's real can be debated
Music for my soul
A soul that's built off music
From rap to rock and roll
It lifts me out my blues'es
Wow guys what a pleasant surprise
I mean to get the Pablo interview that's in the archive
That means you really dug deep
Means you really got love
That's pretty rare to find nowadays so thanks very much
Fa shizzle Trent Dizzle real recognize real
Because of you the mind-state of the greats is revealed
So a kid from AZ can have his eyes open up
To the possibility of what can actually be done
As for me growing up with an immigrant dad
Felt behind when it came to the norms and the fads
Kind of weird to myself didn't know how to act
Smoking blunt after blunt just to make the time pass
Then one day at the store on the magazine rack
Saw The Roach and I flipped and I never looked back
Like a light just turned on now I could see my path
So Trent Dilfer… thank you man
Music for my soul
A soul that's built off music
From rap to rock and roll
It lifts me out my blues
Special shout to the group that got it started
RIP to Cobain, long live Nirvana
I remember Teen Spirit as a kid like a bomb struck
Got myself a guitar and I blossomed
Myself and Castro curated sound and flow
Listening to the goats
Led Zepp to Snoop double o
Sonic Youth to the Wu
Al Green Red Hot to the Roots
Portishead Lauren Hill
Visionaries Beat Junkies Big L
A Little Wayne the Beastie Boys
The National The XX Interpol
Music for my soul
A soul that's built off music
From rap to rock and roll
It lifts me out my blues
Music for my soul
A soul that's built off music
From rap to rock and roll
It lifts me out my blues
