lyrics

(Acapella)

d to the game
d to the names
ima feed em the pain

to the beat
to the street
to the hennessy
to the weed
to the e
to the key shot

to the c.d. drop

like i got the keys to a 3 dot

like it be the key to a g spot
street sharks eager to eat
peewee
sleep with the beef
see the p pop
she bop like c laup

bops bebop
when i beatbox
he bop bops
like he cop drops
he hot like he drop cops
peep when they sleep
in a jeep
and the beat drop
hot wen the reaper creepin to peep
pop pop dot ah


VERSE 1:

I was born in the year of the dragon
like bruce lee and brandon
man u see me scramblin
producin and loopin and samplin
who’d have imagined
pursuin passion
manuever and manage your words into action
work it’s demanding

verse in a hearse
burn up the verse
n emerge from it’s ashes

studio absent
jewelery absent
no clue how to master

from the roota to the toota
to the computer crashes
we lose it
we lose it
we reboot it back up

students attuned
when i’m tutoring classes

despite the lack of assets
ima captivate the masses
ain’t gon fabricate the facts
man ima craft a classic
or lay em flat on their asses

just one more
like a crack attic last hit
stretch out the work like i'm Mr. Fantastic
polish and practice, volume to the max
feels like im walkin
on volcanic ashes
cross burnt bridges with
dug up hatchets
gotta hack up all theses back stabbin bastards
u dug thru the crates i dug up the caskets
look through the glasses
of a bad mamma jamma
in a black bandana
in a black van bumpin rap from atlanta
and i be tha cat’s pajamas

i was shown the ropes until i rope-a-doped
now i unholster toast and coaster cokes
from coast to coast
that northern California morning
to the Hoboken snow

what’s up with the album?
why you laggin on that
i been damagin tracks with elaborate raps
i could be the xanax to your panic attack
