The first time I heard this was the video on Chappelle show..I quickly ran to the store and copt the grind date..what a great album..eh..95% of it anyway.
rest in peace, j dilla/you wanna battle me? I just may kill ya/pay the price, hands up like it's a heist/cause I flow so nice/curse ya like it's a a poltergeist/i spit a gamma ray/ now watch the camera pan away/ and watch the credit's roll/ no cash,visa, i need debit yo/ can't match my even flow/ macavelli, black betty, you ready? for me to drop a bomb on ya / hang up the phone on ya/ sodomy, go deeper then socrates/ philosiphies, Im like the cyclops from the oddesey/ cause no one is toppin me!
some niggas call me the surprize cause what i show them once they get to know me a little better blows of there fucking eyes shit i dont even care if what i show them is one of there biggest fears niggas be claming they did all these years in jail thats why i laugh when i see their tears. I'm sorry i do this but what i do is just a fetish. SO when u see me bout 2 give u that ass dont be 2 quick and dont get fooled by the lipstick cuz i will whip out my dick/ cupcakeking who does shit like that
the beats an empty canvas/my words is a brush stroke that creats colors and madness/this here/is where art and life crashes/natural disaters/count down to the raptures/got a question?then go and find the awnsers/i live a life where some days dont see the nights and some nights last untill the sunshine/and where im from aint nobody rhyme/and dont take the time/to realize this is art/got hooked on rap right from the start/and see the good in it/cause sometimes you'll find a nugget in some bullshit
watts good everybody i'm an aspiring 18 year old producer and rapper and i HATE to sound like a spammer but if you have 2 min of free time i promise you won't be disappoint in the REAL hip hop i have on my page... i'd appreciate any and ALL feedback
whatchu have, is whatchu get/ dont fret over the cards that youve been dealt with/ life aint a game you only get one chance dont screw it/ live your life to the fullest see your potential and persue it/ just do what you love and follow your heart kid/ and life will open up more than it ever did/ and i swear if you never did what you thought you couldnt, then nothing will change and your asking your self should it?/ when the world seems so cruel and out of place, just remember these wise words...
its much more, more than what i expected, all i got is love no one understands my perspective/aiming for targets thats like way out of league, they say that im not welcome so its best if i just leave/ but i never quit, cause quiters never win see, dont wanna be like mike i just want to be the first me/ lifes no joke gotta live with percaution, all this running that i do is just causes of exhaustions/ hard times but life is very precious, and every day i awake i count it as a blessing
what didnt kill me made me twice as strong-i represent the poor like wong fei hong--i dont know my dad as well as my mom-yet i still manage 2 keep pushin on-evolution brings change but i wont transform-i pledged 2 god my flows beyond-its the kid god's best "Thats what's up"-i swallowed my dope cameback 2 get bucks-if you never sold crack i understand-everybody neva had 2 go hand 2 hand-but it brought te best out of me now im a man-i made it a long way from scramblin ghrams
This life is much more than what you know/ its who you know, how you spit, and how you flow/ sick of fake commercial cats that just floss and show/ that shit aint real but it gets you dough/ sad facts of life, but the real remain true/ so get up with me if you got a clue/ to all that keep the peace much love to you/ and if your hating on this track i think you're just confused/ you need to realize we are all one of the same light/ if you are my brother then theres no need to fight
Take note: Can you spit a whole track without cursing, steady rehearsing, the rhymes you gonna say is that your version? Pants sagging low in perversion defending ignorance before I can get a word in. Foaming at the mouth from the truth that I'm sevrin, don't tense up you're giving birth to bs and it's hurtin. You ain't speakin native tongue, you simply slurrin'. I 'm just here to relieve the burden of a virgin with a version of some messed up wordin"!
solitary in my confinement respect due to a few all on consignment divine spent energy wasted on mind sets thats gangsta manage to push the cabbage to the fore front keep gettin more blunts from store fronts ignorin stunts deployin grunts to go do yah dirty work expressions so loud to make sure ya heard em smurk leave em burnt in an excert of texture sent ferth from lectures of scriptures thats measured by intelligence and never by censored means of finding the truth
when i step through the clouds into the light'ning/ you might say its kind of frightening/ it might just be a psychic thing, but i think the way we're striking, will leave the fat lady reciting what shes about to sing/ words of a mounting king/ about to be crowned in ritual customs/ do you think his lady loves him? if she don't he's gonna crush limbs/ spontaneous combustion, trust him its enough phlegm you'll catch in the eye when he lets fly with a lyrical production, a spiritual eruption...
steam rollin, you get your dreams stolen, and each moment you hold close will get peed on like the seat of a toilet/ your life we spoil it, while we reach anointment/ enjoyment for the crowd when you hear the royal shit that we've appointed/ steady with the beat, headies sprinkled with kief/ a medley of reef, music, and sweet movement, unity and peace/ the mood, is re-lax and re-lease
