The Wire: Sharpshooters- Analyze

[jibberilins]

LOVE this song. First time i saw stinkum cruisin in his Mitsubishi Pajero sport i wanted this song. The classics rule the game.

[CockMyRasbah]

Forever rock my nigga rule, intellectual

Unaffectional you want a course that's undirectional

I pump the lies until my eyes is three-dimensional

Manifests running through your whole crew

When I open your chest like Charles Jewel

And brush your cerebellum like a sherm for all parties concerned

My skills break rappers to lowest terms

[ChrisssyHD]

@CockMyRasbah

..Why did you just post the lyrics?

[CockMyRasbah]

@ChrisssyHD I transcribed it, thought people might be interested. Outside of this page the lyrics are nowhere else on the Internet.

[CockMyRasbah]

My natural says the glass is half-empty

Not half-full, don't tempt me

I'll rip your style and laugh if you approach the life of plenty

Think the worst, contemplate the unpredictable

Don't think that I'm invincible, my alibi's convincible

Listen to my lyrics cause my bullets keep on missing you

When you flow sometimes you speaking hypothetically

I snatch up MC's and organise them alphabetically

[CockMyRasbah]

I say lines that make you never want to rap again

Change your line of work and reconsider selling crack again

They say illegal means never justify the ends

Living all I got to show is nappy hands, scuffed Timbs

Lusting after rims, my wordplay severing limbs

Making all the foul ones sorry for their mortal sins

Continue is vocabulary home or taking over

So I can get a Rover, Gucci loafers and a leather sofa

Paranoid with the world on my shoulders

Cause I see niggas wilding from Tacoma to Corona

[CockMyRasbah]

The scripts that I concoct to turn your bodily fluids nucleo-toxic

Freaking topics that'll reach more niggas than fibreoptics

Nickel slick equipped to go the distance

Wettin MCs to leave them holier than Christians

A novelist protect the prophecies, properly

Organise my fam and plan to overrun monopolies

Contaminate your ear with realism in the schism

Claim you psychopathic yet you delicate as linen

I practice kinetic calesthenics but see the beat of vocal homicide

Catalyst, decipher my analysis

[CockMyRasbah]

A cognac, insomniac and everybody know the status create

Power manoeuvres in the night without ????

Nigga born in seven-eight evaluate

Before you meet the essence do the overdose in ????

Heart failures that derail you from my path

Overcourageous ass victim of my tongue lash

The bounty hunter live microphone inseminator

Fold the paper not to mention upon it eliminator

The vast majority is out to be chart-toppers

But I keep heartstoppers to have you whining like an opera

[CockMyRasbah]

I express visions so graphic that I travel telepathic

See the present from the future but the ways are systematic

Herbs jumping in my cypher trying to be best friends

Now they drowning in the river rocking cement Timbs

Raw thoughts, my mind is ill like ????

Rewind and you can dislocate my retina and I'll still be seeing different tickets

Devious is how my verbs react, with supreme laced tracks with baking soda and crack

[aDeletedTaco]

Why is this sped up?

[Clownface125]

@aDeletedTaco This is the version from the wire.. No idea why they chose to speed it up

[aDeletedTaco]

@Clownface125 Oh, I like the normal one better, but either way its an amazing song :D

[jakejabbs]

This is quality rap. I have been searching for this track since I first heard it on The Wire.

[Drummafolife]

"now they drownin in the river rockin cement timbs" haha sick line

[Gannondalf]

as soon as i saw the episode of the wire i knew i had to have this song lol

[ImbissBrunto]

finally found the song! i've been searching for it since i first heard it on that episode! too ill for words!

[kingtoby3]

" i say lines that make you never want to rap again, change your line of work and reconsider selling crack again" one of the illest lines ive heard.

[lurice0]

i heard this from dj spooky discography

[ChrisssyHD]

CHANGE YOUR LINE OF WORK AND RECONSIDER SELLING CRACK AGAIN

[HeaRtllesSs]

anyone knows the lyrics?

[cypha1supreme]

ill....smooth headnod shit with a xylophone (vibraphone maybe?) melody and a sick mc with Rakim like delivery....a perfect selection for the Wire too

[MilesTrane21]

@cypha1supreme pretty sure that's a fender rhodes or some other type of electric keyboard

[cypha1supreme]

@MilesTrane21 yeah that seems more likely

[Clownface125]

Everytime I hear this song I see stinkum cruisin down the street

[darkowin]

This is Stink Um's jaunt!!

[Mrcrusaderkilla]

I wish the MOTHERFUCKERS who don't like this track die a slow and painful death!!!

[moblackqb31]

about time i found that song

[allooo]

too bad this shit is unobtainable. Best rap I've heard in a long while!

[CoolDevicesXxm4]

@allooo torrents my friend. torrents

[fatcat669]

where can i get their album

[1PabloEscobar1]

Anyone of y'all know the name of the song that is played in the 3d season episode 4 (hamsterdam)? Carver, Herc and a bunch of police is harassing them boys slingin dope and telling them to move to the freezone.

And yeah, I' gonna spam this all over youtube, cuz that song seems to be the bombay

[pittisitt]

Step, shorty step !

[bl4ckl34d3r]

Finally, rap that I like!

[giornalista]

can anyone tell in which episode did it appear? season 1, but which episode?

[funkmike]

@giornalista Season 1, Episode 7 "One Arrest". When the cops follow Stinkum and that young hopper runs off into the projects with the dope

[giornalista]

@funkmike thank you very much! I love that part, just amazing, gives something special. I live in Europe, this style is not really... welcomed here.

[giornalista]

one of the best raps ever made. when it first appears in The Wire, it's just magnificent.

[skoobyj]
