Everybody grab ya microphones
Everybody grab ya microphones
Everybody grab ya microphones
And if you don't have a mic you probably drunk or stoned...
I'm not a rapper first things first
Just a man with a vision and a real slick verse or two
Maybe three if you listen a while
And before you even ask no describin' the style
Words and sounds blended until
We got a funky ass track and your homeboys chill
On the hatin' and debatin' whether I be real
Rounds richocheting off like I'm the man of steel..
But getting back to the thickeing plot
I see your wrist so frozen so I'm making it hot brotha
You always talk about the shit that you got
While I'm blowing O's zonin' at the studio spot
Making beats with an Erthman vibe
Creating something brand new better come on a ride
I'm full steppin' with a limp in my stride
I know its snowing out there so Ima let you inside..
Attack! I slap box with the track
Break beats on the rack Its a natural knack
Dark age humor trynna start a dirty rumor
That'll spread like the plague did
You turning red kid
All in the facial area I ain't scared of ya
Grab a spade and bury ya and your girl's terrier
Sick as a carrier of malaria coughin' on the mic device that I share witcha
But chill you can't catch my flow
Although I blow cold like the wind thru ya window
On a long dark winter's night
Im out late while you indoors bundled in your snuggie tight trynna write
A rhyme that you can spit when you get to the event but your bars aren't even even
Time I should be leavin' I'm movin' on to the promised land to recieve the key to the kingdom
So swing on sweet cadillac coming forth to take me back
With the sound of a bari sax in the picture
Some might say I'm spittin' scripture but I won't preach to ya
All I do is teach to ya something that you never knew
Call it brand new futur blues with a fresh style
I sell truth in the form of a wav file that'll make you wish you had eleven notches on your dial..

Rain Drops
03:28
|
|

Raindrops fall slow to the ground
If you listen very closely you can surely hear the sound
That they make forming puddles on the pavement of my town
Where they breakdance we don't shake hands we give pounds..
Or a hallf ounce of that fresh bacon got you wakin' up
Comin' round staying plush like some goos down duck
Hater's in an instance leave em in the wrong dimension
As we time travel back to '84 and I should mention
I was born then back when the olympics hit the city
I was just a little bitty kid who hadn't learned a lesson yet
Hadn't held a teddy or had a bowl of spaghetti
But my parent raised me ready to go out and get a steady check
That's in the future cause I'm searching for enlightenment
On a path of righteousness and I know I'm nice with this
But I'm staying humble cause I know that I am not the best
So I listen closely to the pitter pat of nature's track..
Raindrops fall slow to the ground
If you listen very closely you can surely hear the sound
That they make forming puddles on the pavement of my town
Where they breakdance we don't shake hands we give pounds..
Or a simple head nod we acknowledge that your standing there
But you're acting like your scared thought that you should be aware
That I am not a villain with a pistol and a chronic sack
Oh wait I should take that back
We should roll one up in fact
Maybe then you'll just relax and listen to the melody
Playing in cacophony on the track that's backin' me
Sailing on the open seas of imagination bruh
Learning how to share the love
Like the gathered clouds above
Think you need a pair of gloves just so you can hold the mic
Cause you covered up in ice and you trynna twist a dub
Asking can you get a light I'm a little busy bud
Trying to make a living selling music in this industry
I should be the guy to see and my homies making rounds
Like the scene is lost and found no one seems to hear the sounds raining down around thier heads
I'll sample nature's symphony
Even on a rainy day I can make a fire G...
Raindrops fall slow to the ground
If you listen very closely you can surely hear the sound
That they make forming puddles on the pavement of my town
Where they breakdance we don't shake hands we give pounds..

Herb

Just a little herb to get a brotha thru the day
Tired of the talkin' now its time to roll anotha jay
Break the bushel down into its lowest com denominate
Now hand me the papers and be patient homie you can wait
Take a little sprinkle and I fill the wrapper with the grape
bombastic fantastin in a second you'll be great
Now hand me the flame maker and i'll spark this brain baker
You'll be ridin' higher than a chevrolet on 28's...
Now that you're intoxicated you ain't got alot to say
Thankful for the silence cause my high has got me drifting space
Travelling amongst the astronauts my heart is keeping pace
While I roll another up I'm trynna reach the milky way
But i'm falling back into the atmosphere of planet earth
Burning up another one until I finally touch the dirt
Then I turn around and grab the mic and spit another verse
You thought you could snake the winm but I start last and finish first...
So you see I stand against discrimination of a plant
Even though they tell us that we'll never have a single chance
Even though statistics show the average joe just doesn't change
They go 'round and burn the effigy trying to control our brains
But I spark another one because it makes me fell alright
You can sit around and argue whether Clinton hit it twice
See the thing is you can do whateva it becomes the past
Its the future that we're scared of
How much more is in the bag?

Last Laugh

How do I even start
Each beats so far apart
Guess I'll just have to write my way into this woman's heart
She's acting oh so tough
Think that she's had enough
Of all the deadbeats trying to catch her with that romance stuff
She only wants to drive
Out on a summer's night
Windows open to the waves crashing in the tide
She's not a copy cat
And she don't follow rap
Kalashnikov in the trunk of her hatchback..
She likes the shooting range
Her childhood's all to blame
Her daddy left her and she never even knew his name
When she was just a teen
She had to fight her peers
And all the pain she kept inside for a couple years
Until she met a guy
Who told the perfect lie
About the money that his granny left him when she dies
He told her: "Get inside!"
And took her for a ride
In his all black Buick with the cowhide
Now she's a lonely soul
Out on a lonesome road
And there's no stopping when she's driving toward that guys's abode
She seems to hold a grudge
And with a gentle nudge
She places keys in front of me trying to kill my buzz
I told her: "Let it be.."
And she just stared at me
She made a motion like she's sitting in the driver's seat
Just got a tank of gas
And now we're speedin' past
Cause she's determined that she's gonna get the last laugh...

Rhyme On
03:18

Right on I'm trying to get my grind on
But the leaves me no time to get my rhyme on
Right on I'm trying to get my grind on
But the leaves me no time to get my rhyme on..
Now we're making songs in the comfort of my home
Where I strum sweet chords in a musical melange
On a Mustang built in the nation of Nihon
Where the cherry blossoms bloom
While you chillin' on the lawn sippin' tea
Witcha homeboy's girl and his moms
On a trip everytime you turn around the dude is gone
Or layin' on the grass while the sun beats down from the heavens
Feeling lucky so the clouds appear as sevens
Overhead crows circle in a geometric fashion
So I let passion emerge and my hands get to clappin'
Out a beat for the Em3 project that I'm trackin'
In the heat of the moment never time for inaction
Gotta speak what's on my mind 'fore my nerves get to crashin'
In the streets like a Fleetwood swervin' in the path of a dragon
Blow the flames out quick with your magic
No doubt its a tragedy that you trashed a classic
Spout nonsense thru my soundsystem every chance you get
So I take it as a sign that I need some new tricks
Got ya mind open like coffee and a cigarette
Now its time for you to cop some Erthman music
Treat it like some new kicks
Show em to a few friends
Def is Alive and he rhymes on Thee End
Of a compact disc that you must give a spin
But you spazzed out missin' out
On a bright gem!
Right on I'm trying to get my grind on
But the leaves me no time to get my rhyme on
Right on I'm trying to get my grind on
But the leaves me no time to get my rhyme on...
Slowly back away and put that mic on the ground sir
If you don't comply you better fly like a nite bird
A dove
All you see is a white blur zipping from the place
Like lightning in a race for its life
Its a sight sure but that is the norm
When you take clay hither and you try to give it form
Its an art not a cheap thrill
We gotta eat still
So you gotta make a final choice
What you think real?
Right on I'm trying to get my grind on
But the leaves me no time to get my rhyme on
Right on I'm trying to get my grind on
But the leaves me no time to get my rhyme on...

Innercission
02:24

|

My brain pattern sparks atoms in the dark matter
Splattering the galaxy with new stars and wave data
Spreading even faster than a natural disaster
In the red zone where the dead roam thru the stratosphere
Now that I'm here I got a bone to pick with wack rappers
Covering the track with crap rhymes and leave your hopes shattered
Thought they'd drop a gem but now its crystal clear they have no status
Check the twitter page to see the tweeter voice box his chatter
Yes I am a poet so I write a couple stanzas that have meaning
If you wanna hear me sing you better get the Manor
Plattered up like appetizers at you next bonanza
Five tracks touching a plethora of my talents
But that isn't all i've got hidden in the vault
Somersault over beats like a gymnast at the summer games
Get my gold medal wear it proudly like my family name
I do it for the art and start spittin' at you lames
But if you didn't get the memo then you'll probably never change
There's a drought in the desert and we trynna make it rain
Drain away the sins we've gained
Till we see a higher plane
In our vision
Innercission...
I gravitate over eight square miles and negate
The adverse effects of the hip-hop game of late
Where the greats rest in the solitude of crates
While the sheep graze peacefully unwary of thier fate
"As above, so below..." So the old master state
In the text left behind from an age that we've erased
And we've driven from our minds all the ways we relate
And the knowledge of a love that controls our hate
Its the mission that I'm giving to the whole human race
To forget your petty differences and learn to embrace
But the burden has some weight
And its a far distant place
In our vision
Innercission...

For me to claim that I'm not a human being
Is a struggle in itself pull my trophies off the shelf
Check the plaque on the bass tell ya I'm a triple black belt
Kicking down the door and I do it for my black health
Never for the wealth
I can see you got your hand out beggin' for some help
And I give it like a ninja stealthed out in some black felt
Runnin' thru the bamboo shoots like a ram do
Trynna smash your whole crew
Its a planned move when I merge into your lane
Slammin' on the brakes I can see it drives you insane
Its a game to me trying to rhyme a thing of beauty
Officer on the deck I'm just trynna do my duty
For the cause no applause if you please take a pause
And acknowledge your defeat in the halls of the king...
Here we go again richter scale hittin' ten
Needle jumpin' off the chart now the rhymin' gonna start
Take a seat and repeat everthing that you believe
Thru the mic in your hand or I'll never let you leave
If your brains tangled up like the branches of a tree
Take the ax of the mind and cut the evergreens
Now your head is squeaky clean pine sol from a dream
So nice sowin' seeds but you haven't proved a thing yet
Get back jack where you came from cause your wack
Take another look over your shoulder at your lame track
Its a known fact you got no books up in your backpack
Trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the wolf like
Little bo peep trynna find those sheep
That'll stray thru the mist from the halls of the king..
Now I'm gonna rip another hole in your sheet
No wind in your sails so your stranded on the sea
No flare gun in the box underneath the seat
No life raft handy buy your vessels gonna sink
In the storm of my thought process so unique
Now you swimmin' for the shore better work them obliques
But the tide fights back your a minnow in the beak
Of a freebird watching waves crashin' on the beach
Taking off like an airliner of East indo-China
Find a better rhyma and i'll give you ten G's apiece
Just to say the least know that I will never cease
Doin' what I'm doin' stretchin' thru the universe like a ruler
Measuring the streets of my capital its actual and factual
Building in the halls of the king...
