Yeah
Ladies and gentleman
We gone take it up higher right now lets vibe
Put your hands in the air
The beat rides with hard core vibes and so do I
And been - since age five
Lord of the Live show
Call us 5-0
We slow down your productions
Cripple your functions
Til our heat retires
Go run and hide
No hook ups
No conjunction junctions
Surround U fruity negroes like Pie Dough
And then make restart your momentum like DIDO
I swear beware of my flow
Vitiligo - I stay Black while most lose their color to others
They turning white For survival
Shame
Shame
Yeah
Ladies love us - some Grady baby causing the ruckus
Weinstein - They way the industry trying to F*** us
I Speak a speech like F Douglass - u mean mug us
Who are you in those moments in Between being jealous
WHO
Pete Townsend Keith Moon
Some peak too soon
And loose their chance to make feet move
Shame
In God's name
I dodge fame
I hate the game
I hate the player
Hate everything that exploits
Especially enslavers
And slave behaviors
They want to kill us take us down
They want to leave us on the ground but
I am classy and I matter
And I will never settle down
They want to kill us take us down
They want to leave us on the ground but
I am classy and I matter
And I will never settle down
Uh huh
Prayer hands
Most of you running in circles Musical chairs fam
My favorite artist is purple
Prince with the flared pants
A Kiss - for my lady perfect appearance
Ya know we make the crowd sway
We make the crowds day
For the birds is Foul play
So For the word - we now pray
Heart shaped herb - we vibra
Take it up higher
We kinda
Wakanda
We're refined
Like fine dining
And decline to shine first
Cuz you are our thirst
People
To date us is lethal
We always hit third base - Pop goes the weasel
Word up
Sucker negros served up
Not ready for solid food
Just milk - and mamas lifting they shirts up
Jugs out
Some latched on
The slugs out
We spoused to be humans
Never moving the Bug route
Rise up
Not crawling around
Not waiting for the system to suddenly have their consciousness found
If only you knew the length that they go to
To do the things they've done and did
You'd be through too kids
See dudes do bids
Spreading news to they miss
Little children having fits
Daddy gone people miss
Daddy being home it's
A void an abyss
The family never gets
Out the hole out the pits
No cap! To whom who the cap fits
Wear it no time for despairing
Pay No mind to the Karens
It is what it is
No fear
Throw spears
They want to kill us take us down
They want to leave us on the ground but
I am classy and I matter
And I will never settle down
They want to kill us take us down
They want to leave us on the ground but
I am classy and I matter
And I will never settle down
They want to kill us take us down
They want to leave us on the ground but
I am classy and I matter
And I will never settle down
I will never settle down
I will never settle down
And I will never settle down
And I will never settle down

I need you to overstand
That I'm an overachiever
Underestimated all across the land
That I am an overachiever
Lets go
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
I believe II'll succeed
An overachiever
A gladiator
That makes gladiators
I'm Ridley Scott
I try to cover all bases like a little league tot
I got More love for Black Madonna's than Rome Italy's got
The only squat you used to doing is diddly squat
I can't hear u talking - there's too much noise
I've been a man for a while - I'm not one of the boys
Not bought nor sold
I am not one of your toys
The more of me the more sparkle like drinking Lacroix
No designer clothes
Chains from Jacob
They replaced shackles on slaves
With jewels & Make up
I don't got the same attractions
I'm not in a gay pub
I don't have to fake owning nice cars to fill my tank up
I'm gold
Just standing on my own
Like an Oscar statue - but ain't no acting though
I got a lot of dead weight
Like carrying a soldier
Trying ignore us
Is like burying a boulder
So
I need you to overstand
That I'm an overachiever
Underestimated all across the land
That I am an overachiever
C'mon
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
I believe II'll succeed
An overachiever
I need you to overstand
I'm an overachiever
Underestimated
Undermined non stop
By the nonbelievers
Jealous jokers plotting and chopping the whole regime up
Thinking that they now can become the leader
I sit and planted seeds that years later became trees
They perch at ease and eat from my bird feeder
Either
They are deceived or grieved by perceived threats
Or maybe depression
Either way it is ether
Danger
I call you friend, don't become a stranger
Stranger
Things have happened within this rap game
I am pro gamer
I am pro aimer
Like public enemies logo
Bullets all in my chamber
I may speak conscious
I clearly have conscience
I crave peace, I'm honest
I serve cuz I'm modest
But you should brace yourself
Cuz You don't want it
I can get ill with my drills orthodontist
I need you to overstand
That I'm an overachiever
Underestimated all across the land
But I am
An overachiever
Let's go
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
I believe I'll succeed
An over achiever
Overachievers that is us

Sha la la leng

Cuz time a run out
Sha la la leng
Sha la la leng
Cyaa hold wi tongue
Cuz wi no longer young
Sha la la leng
Sha la la leng
Cyaa shut wi mouth
Cuz time a run out
Won't you hold my hand today
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Have mercy
Uh
Cuz No ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass
It just dawned on me that my dawn is over
Living in the dusk of my life what is there to fuss over
The daughter slaughtered in the school where the mother drove her
A mass murderer open fired there can't be closure
This will never be kosher I feel helpless as a voter
I've been yelling gun control but I am not the controller
I can relate to smokers how can anyone be sober
Yet im sober im having problems keeping my composure
And im feeling things so intensely
I'm taking showers but they don't rinse me nah
They say im sensitive that incenses me
On my path I am an empath
With emotional sympathies
Feeling such energies it's stealing my inner peace
Trying to find some release
Pick up the phone baby please
Our time is all that we get
My hourglass has been flipped
Sand is just flowing through it
Won't you hold my hand today yeah
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Uh uh
Cuz no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass
The hour glass was cracked couple chards missing
The sand was God given
But now it's all spilling
Stay in my lane play my part
Pray for Gods wisdom
And yeah I still spit dem bars boi
God Willing
Yeah it's all nonsense
Til you wake up to unsanctioned torture
Zip tied to an arm rest
Opposable thumb compressed
Foam ball when palm flexed
Please try to be still for blood draw next
The cis gender had a mentor a pan sexual offender
Try to furnish an answer
But can't remember
Which one of the garments
In the closet fit better
Got to be the worst brain fart ever
Salty tears add flavor to the
Otherwise sweet popcorn
Something we all get mocked for
You like that color
There's more of those in the top drawer
It's look great on your hip hop song
Won't you hold my hand today yeah
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
The fastest way is slowly
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Have mercy
Cuz no ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass
The quote unquote celebrated rap lad
Who became a legend from celebrating the block and celebrating black dads
All the Milestones I achieved they put a light above
But know it's double the scars whenever you fight for love
The one who spoke of how the corner store look to us
And then who spoke on how the corner store was took from us
All The Brilliant Things that gradually threw you hope
Became the epilogue
Attached to The Bluest Note
So now picture me
Fresh off the stoop
Where my inner me
Is Branson bags and
Leroy Campbell imagery
Juggling this world I know and all it's symmetry
And now side eyeing it with my eyes on my mini-me
Buried in a smile
Underneath it I'm Tyson
For everything on the prowl
Cause everything is for Miles
So if ever I bow
Applause is surrounding that
For raising mine
Before they raise their hour glass
Hold my hand it won't be long
Believe it
Don't let go that love grip strong
No more pain no more crying out to God
See you on the other side y'all
Yeah
Another I pictorial
Some corrective development for all of ya
Ya dig
Vote for Canibus my rhymes ain't rigged
Won't you hold my hand today
In this world there's so many worries
Lemme get lost in your gaze
No more living my life in a hurry
And in time we all will rise
And love will find a way to last
Uh
Cuz No ones putting sand in the top of our hour glass

Yeah
Ladies and gentlemen Arrested development back again
Still fired up
Yall know what to do now
Yo
We not avant garde
We're an avant garden
Some said we been dead
I beg your pardon
Accused of killing every show
May I beg your pardon
My Lyrics are heart packed
I can't be disheartened
Some niggas ain't really the s***
They simply farting
By the way I've been disheartened
That's why I started
I noticed that ninety-nine percent of Black artists
Take part in
Making Blacks dearly departed
Have u ever heard these dudes rhymes
For real, have you ever heard em
For twenty years straight
Record labels only take
Boosters and murderers
Then turn boosters and murderers over to white jurors
Black Rock owns stock in private prisons
And record labels too but their face is hidden
Harvard alumni
See the ghetto as dumb guys
Give em a nickel for a million bucks of gun rhymes
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Ok
I'm so cool
But still fired up
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I'm so cool
But still fired up
That's why we cannot afford to passively listen
While they're aggressively pushing
Triple K positions
White hoods never do good
For Black missions
Aww baby just listen
Open your ears up again and drive
To poor Black neighborhood that's near by
If you don't see everything a rap record describes
Then you can call me a lie
I see women with no men
Walking beside them
Too many up in the pen
The system makes poverty a cardinal sin
Some children giving birth to children or pregnant
Scarier Areas that nobody drives in
Shots pop and shells drop on the cement
Blocks so hot not even cops survive in
A ten block radius we live and we die in
To me that is not okay
Record labels tell you
That You can get paid
You make em masters
Then who's the slave
You obey
Chew you up
Spit you out
All your watches
All your chains
All your clothes
And your fame and your name
Gone
And these evil people they
Simply move on
On to the next
They wrote checks
We just flex y'all
Labels playing us all
For far too long
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I'm so cool
But still fired up
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I'm so cool
But still fired up
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I'm so cool
But still fired up
I don't talk about the system
Changing our position
Because it is the system
That put us here
I don't talk about racism
Hoping white folk will listen
Cuz they are the descendants who
Put us here
Uh
Now ima tell folk some truth
Like Dr Martin Luth
Er king junior
To ghetto youth most ain't new
To what I bring to you
All I know Blacks don't be ready for what I sing to em
Bullets in the chamber it's a danger movement
We are still
Fired up
Fired up
Fired up
Fired up
Fired up
Fired up
Fired up

I don't what they talking about
What spouts out a humans mouth
Saying nothing but talking loud
Those the niggas we most hearing now
Let me say a speech before the crowd
While they got you frisking down the Muslims
White supremacists is running as Republicans
Pro-lifers got a win with abortions
Bout to be more babies
Raised by the government
Black Americans voted Joe Biden in
They wanted to relax our kinks
They'll just use some lie again
I get it they pacify us
While they passing by us
And they use our bias
To make sure that we buyers
We buying it aint we
Getting older ain't easy
I don't think days as d-a-y-s
Think of daze with a ze
When I was younger I loved PE
Got grown got turned onto to PE
Now everything has gone PC
Digitally and socially
I don't know man
I just flow man
Put a carrot on me, I'ma snow man
People cookie cutters
Bring that doe in
Maybe I could live in Japan
Five year olds
Transit alone
Our classrooms are being blown away
While Fox saying that its overblown
Hey ay ay ay

I don't what they talking about
What spouts out a humans mouth
Saying nothing but talking loud
Those the niggas we most hearing now
Can you say something before this crowd
So You want to be a millionaire, my bad I mean billionaire
We'll hello welcome to the slave trade
Cause exploitation is how Fortunes are made
In your device are minerals from very very far away
Your charmed life and mine are the same cause in mines when it swang
Dark people Hang from the bottom of Supply chains
It gets worse like no treatment for a cancer
Like all societies before us we don't have the answers
The cotton gins and plows became huge excavators
Now slaves dig for batteries for phones and pacemakers
The cobalt, the coltan the lithium oh man
I can continue but I know that skip is on the menu
And this is Speech's song that I am grateful I could speak on
In your comings and goings perhaps this you can read on
The truths uncomfortable or so I've been often told
My heart is so conflicted and this I know
Hey ay ay ay
Ay ay ay ayyy
Ayyy ayy
And this I know
Hey ay ay ay

I don't what they talking about
What spouts out a humans mouth
Saying nothing but talking loud
Those the niggas we most hearing now
Can you say something before this crowd
Ayo
I'm from the Mill
Parisian nights yo that's a long shot
You could get killed from
January til the ball drop
Maybe you think all people bad
But no they all not
There's too much violence
Hope I'm here
To see it all stop
Pull up in Paris
Well received
Madrid was dope
Ain't wanna leave
Cause round my way it's glock rounds
Black on black in my town
Since that's the facts
I'm not down
Take a stand
Make a change
Here's a tip keep the change
Civilized folk all understand
Apple pie and
Klu Klux Klan
Propaganda
It populates
Let evil win
That's not the case
Soul be free when I leave the Mil
Teens medicate with weed and pills
They not from Chi
But doing drills
When one of y'all die I get the chills
So please escape
The killing fields
This I know you're a queen
This I know you're a king
This I know sis and bro
Your ancestors they built this thing
Sharecropped land
They never shared
Harriet Tubman
Never scared
Nobody said that life is fair
Still can't believe
You took it there
There is no thing as a race
Nature created no races
Man created races
And he had his own reasons for doing it
Now who benefited from this artificial creation
Listen to this
Anyone that profits off of
You being blind
Will never teach you or inspire you
To see
And this I know
And this I know

Yeah
yo
I ain't one of a kind, I'm kind of the one
Leave haters in patches and so on and so on, huh
It's all in the genes - more hard than it actually seems
I heard ya talking that you're better songwriter
And a better MC than I'll ever be
But I be like
We will see
We will see
I keep my composure with all these comedy writers I
Call you com-posers
Your careers been dead
I'm starting to smell all the odors
They decomposing
I compost thru all the dirt and mud that you got
B-b-b-bad to the bone like jj boogie
We gone to the ZZ Top
Like Blues is the ancestor to modern rock
We the reason for the chances
And advances many rap bands eventually got
All our call to action is
Is for the facts to live
Then we can keep on keeping on
My word is bond
They cut down trees, remove the birds and the bees
They calling cement a development
They detach us from all that it's nature
Like seasons and harvest
And call it civilization
And now we pay to live on a free earth
Now you'll pay for water
Now you'll pay to give birth
Some pay extra near ocean and seas
When all of these things were given to all of us
For free
Some say it's advancement
I challenge that answer
What some call an enhancement
Be causing us cancer
Things that's naturally planted
The system has banned it
Then they rebrand it and slant it
And make something rancid
It all comes out dyslexic
Our bodies reject it
From medicinal
To social
It's a woeful perspective
When an entire collective
Of beings are re-directed
To nature once again
We more zen when we're connected
Word up
Everything is blurred up
They teach Ancient Greece
Made things that Egypt stirred up
Egypt came from ancient kush
Nubia but what they push
Is all this came from Europeans
Search online they be deceiving
They know what I know
That what you know
Changes everything that you believe in
And everything you strive for
Changing your achievements
So what they lie for
They don't want us to stand
So they experiment
To see just what we'll lie for
I don't take no shorts
Though I'm five-four
A living being whose powers are not enhanced
By computer implants
I'm not a cyborg
Human being is miracle enough
No need for hi tech
I don't want nothing that can rust
To be for me a crutch
I stand on my own two
Ten toes down
Roots the divine truth
Cuz living is something you are
Not something you do
Gifts from G-O-D
Absolutely free for you
They cut down trees, remove the birds and the bees
They calling cement a development
They detach us from all that it's nature
Like seasons and harvest and call it civilization
And now we pay to live on the free earth
Now you'll pay for water
Now you'll pay to give birth
Some pay extra near ocean or seas
When all of these things were given to all of us for free
They cut down trees, remove the birds and the bees
They calling cement a development
They detach us from all that it's nature
Like seasons and harvest and call it civilization
And now we pay to live on the free earth
Now you'll pay for water
Now you'll pay to give birth
Some pay extra near ocean or seas
When all of these things were given to all of us for free

Yeah
yeah
Shout out to Configa
Ooh ooh ohh
Newcastle force
Ooh ooh ohh
Ooh ooh ohh
Yo
Underground like the Lolly Bella Ethiopia
Reign in this rap thang man
So Keep ya coat wit cha
Intentionally swimming deep
I won't float with cha
The twenty-twenty visionaries
Niggas focus up
And keep ya hope with ya
Keep an umbrella
And flip ya hood towards this cultural Nokia
Cut from a block of stone, the wonders of Africa
Rarely shown
That's why we marvel at Black Panthers home
Act three AD - Jordan Peele - nope to ya
Only Cornucopias
Making utopias
Any block any day
Okay Right now
I'm puttin' this on everything
Til the lights out
Gomorrah and Sodom
Where even the horses horse shoes are red bottoms
Meanwhile veterans even living in pure squalor
And the ultra rich want em where they got em
But people say
We want this
Yeah we want this
We want this
Yeah we want it
We want this
Yeah we want this
Reminds me of First Samuel eight
Kings for kings sake
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift it up
The people screamed for a king and now they gotta king
Left the creator for what they perceived as greater
The only thing...enslavement
Is what we're truly created for
Enslaved to righteousness or sinfulness, that's the choice
It's hard ain't it
This picture I'm painting
We gone worship something
Either money, deity, the self, the body, drugs
The rich or whoever is famous
We may not get down upon our knees and pray to it
But our actions clearly show that we are prey to it
The ultra rich already know so they play to this
Unknowing that they too play by the same music
Worshipping self, their towers laying claim to it
Power's their biggest drug it has insane influence
Aww I give these dummy's a hug, they need improvement
Destroying lives of other people for their own amusement
Owning islands, while refugees thought of as a nuisance
But people say
We want this
Yeah we want this
We want this
Yeah we want it
We want this
Yeah we want this
Reminds me of First Samuel eight
Kings for kings sake
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift it up
Freedom can never truly be had in flesh form
How could mere humans really know what is best for em
Life is work, death is the rest for us
Have fun! around the corner another test for u
We like run Forest, run forest
Give loved ones flowers before they die become a florist
Fight to get to the truth become a jurist
Travel the globe so much to know, a tourist
We malnourished, we done suffered from a disturbance
And many urban people can lack earthly discernment
They so determined to climb ladders
Corporate earnings
We all eat forbidden fruit when talking to serpents
Some folks teach forbidden fruit twistin they sermons
Simple sheep. Obeying each and every word and
Cults form the misinformed turn into vermin
People deceived, from what they believe, what they learning
But people say
We want this
Yeah we want this
We want this
Yeah we want it
We want this
Yeah we want this
Reminds me of First Samuel eight
Kings for kings sake
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift that foot up off your neck man
Lift it up

I just know I'm on a high
Maybe I can touch the sky
Baby you're giving me life
I just want to ride
Ride
Been at this for more time than you've been alive
The only crime I've committed is paying dudes no mind
Yet almost cry at a niggas untimely demise
And dem eyes of racists in total delight
Each soul sacred to be awarded life
Four hundred trillion odds of birth we here tonight
One in a million sperm met that one egg
So you had a leg up
Thank god for opened legs
Hey
Hey hey hey hey
Women in the building
Hips for rearing children
Lips speakin' resilience
Call for Easter Sunday
Resurrect some chivalry
Change is coming someday
Open doors for women please
Create a Black culture that is life yielding
Cuz what we let into our life now is life stealing
Things went left
Lets get back on that right feeling
Don't fight healing
I just know I'm on a high
Maybe I can touch the sky
Baby you're giving me life
I just want to ride
Ride
In the age of the last days
People are lovers of self
And lovers of pay
Abusive, disobedient to their mom and pops
Or pops and pops
Or baby mommas
Or moms and moms
Or what not
Not
Whatever's whatever in Babylon
What house can stand y'all without a foundation to stand on
But lovers and dreamers are steadily scheming
For ways to stop the decay
From the present day demons
Uh
I'm a lover not a fighter in rap
But I do fight for love
now u decipher that
Maybe the last of the Mohicans
Ya know I'm from Wisconsin
I Snatched up a Pocahontas
And left all the nonsense
Yeah
We gotta do our thang
Four hundred years of oppression and disdain
I'm bout to see other planes
I just know I'm on a high
Maybe I can touch the sky
Baby you're giving me life
I want to stay high
And I wanna
Ride
I wanna ride
I wanna ride
I wanna ride
I just want to ride
Ride
Many trails of tears forced from homes and names
Rap is now my voice
I rarely call it the rap game
Cuz it's not one
And we can't take privilege for granted
We ain't got none
So since Clinton carried a Bop Gun
My drive is like we gone be discontinued like Datsuns
Whenever you play AD
You play a hot one
You've been fishing baby
You got one hot fun
Yeah we not done
I just know I'm on a high
Uh I'm on a high
Maybe I can touch the sky
Baby you're giving me life
giving me life
I want to stay high
And I wanna ride
I wanna ride
I wanna ride
I wanna ride
I just want to ride
Ride

Yeah, my man Ralph from France from Paris said
We're not just fans man
We're not fanatics
We just love the music
We want be close to it
We're attracted to it
That really hit me
Yo
I know it's way more than fandom
When we see our fans dancing
We ain't just attractive at random
It's not just our popular anthems
Nah, our money ain't tall
Our songs ain't dark
And our checks ain't handsome
Yet, for 30 years sold out France and
London and Japan and had fans
Shed a tear when they can shake my hand
Here I stand
With a stance still advancing
Some artists from Atlanta
Has painted all over hip hop's canvas
So Rollingstone owes y'all some answers
In 93 they called us band of the year
But look it here in 2022
They abandon us
No surprise though
No Egypt in em but denial
We got no mirrors no smoke
What we reflect has never been a joke
Stereotype or trope
And we don't snort no coke
We don't bag up no dope
I know that gets less promo
So
Everyday we rock
And everyday we rise
Hip-Hop saves lives baby
Hip-Hop saves lives
Yo
You know I had to do this album just to prove something
I couldn't retire the fans inspired
When I land inside the muck and the mire
I turn a 180 from hells fire
And told the devil
hey man F your desires
He flees from truth
I'm freed from the sins of my youth
The devils a liar
I'm a beacon of light
A Deacon, a knight
A thief in the night
Cut loose the noose I'm seeking a fight
From being strange fruit he can bite
Leave the scene with new seeds that breed better roots
For blacker berries & sweeter juice
The facts are buried
We needing to
Do an excavation
Hip hop nation they are deceiving you
We're humans thru and thru but
Let's just say, the vibe of the day
Is love of man but the hate of hue
The nigga factory
Hip-hop can be blasphemy
Not that you asking me
Eut I say let's get back to peace
Everyday we rock
And everyday we rise
Hip-Hop saves lives baby
Hip-Hop saves lives
And it don't stop and it don't quit
Yeah we don't care if it don't fit
Ahhhh
Like spearmint
Saving lives
Fresh air arrives
The great big experiment
Show y'all what we gonna do
Play it back to me
Speech you got the first two
Yep
Now here we go
Running to the medicine
Call the next of kin cuz we love you and you
Base powers be only what you'll need
Turn up them highs until the sound bleed
Get ready to listen hard to these beautiful songs
Feels so right you could never feel wrong
Right on
Here's what we mean now watch em all
So the crowd is seen heading to the dj
Swim upstream put the needle to the green
And hear the audience scream
Everyday we rock
And everyday we rise
Hip-Hop saves lives baby
Hip-Hop saves lives
Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop saves lives
Saves lives baby
Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop saves lives
Saves lives baby
Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop
Hip-Hop saves lives
Saves lives baby

Yeah
Whew
Uh huh
Yo
Milwaukee born and raised, my peoples they know
Us young cats a hit capitol like Muscle Shoals
I can't stop believing my journey of bobbin and weaving
I have more than I could ever say like Jeff Bezos
But you need to know
Like Amazon we deliver
Our reign hit the forest plus flooding the rivers
Oxymoron hot rhymes giving em shivers
Our foes kept a watchful eye like a baby sitter
Watch
Yeah
But we ain't no babies, no Johnny come lately's
Every Since the early eighties, purely from Hades
Laverne and Shirley with the rabies
Some dogs must a malled some of ya'll
Taking bites while brewing for ratings
Purple rain going crazy
Payments delaying
My wife said I'm always deep, but to me
To stay grounded, the ocean floor is the place to be
Otherwise your beliefs just float
without any hope that control is within your reach
Reach
Yeah
All great men ain't good men
But any good man can become a great one
I've chosen what I have chosen
I been woke and I ain't dozing
Like dat airport slogan
If you see something then say something
Whew
If you see something then say something
Denying that inside I'm embittered
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
By saying something there's a likelihood
That on radio there's no way we'll be bumpin
So to Kris's Kross that in concert we keep em jumpin
And then the dream is more streams thru algorithms
And playlists maybe AD can get lumped in
Steve Jobs single handedly crushed the industry
Now music is basically free
Artists hardly eat
Got us selling perfumes and liquors
Or else five to six figures tops is where you will likely be
You're lucky to sell ten thousand units a week
Most artists sell hundreds if I keep it a hundred
Yet my creativity never been more abundant
Yet interviews asked about Drake like I'm a pundit
Trust
Thirty years plus and rare is security for us
Financially I'm just learning bout four-o-one k's
And how better to use our pay to try to spread it
To members I told em rememberer there will be better days
We can drink outta Grammy horns but at Longhorns we eat salad plates
And every once in a while a steak
Part of what I say is hyperbole and other things literal
I'm seeing more war cuz I'm the general
I guess its just that way
Yet and still like birthdays
We somehow getting cake
Denying that inside I'm embittered
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
Savànt
The man who has said he has no regrets
Is a man who has yet to learn to self reflect
We are Born free somehow die in dept
As time progress think of time I invest
Striving to be the best with lyrics that's clever
Til everyone dies and no one's here to remember
Ain't that something your favor rapper
Eighties actor ain't a thing or factor
Kids see your childhood can't restrain their laughter
I'm thinQing to myself you
Ungrateful bastards
I study the past for the master classes
That's why my raps and my tracks are classic
Perhaps without these apps you'd be half as backwards
You really thinQ Ai could match this magic
I'm telling you it can't so cancel it cancel cancerous thoughts like that it's
Arrogant
Denying that inside I'm embittered
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance

Arrested Development's in the house
Cats that was haters now quiet as a mouse
You used to be a fan man you can't be jammin now
Yet we the same band you used to Stan now you pout
You say we sold our soul you say we lost our passion
Where are the receipts man with all of these transactions
I say we a beast man
In every stat of rapping
And seriously keep track of how furiously we be lasting
Thirty year career we almost peers with the Jacksons
That's right we do it massive aggressive in our passive
We be living large never lavish
Bars that's established
Cars we don't brag this
Stars in this Black-ish
Anthony Anderson
Sanity Commanders in
Rap games abandonment and standards
No contaminants
You got these cats from the internet talking from their chest
From their chest
From their chest
Hide behind their avatar see us in the flesh
In the flesh
In the flesh
Then they ain't got much to say no more
Much to say no more
Much to say no more
Then they ain't got much to say no more
Much to say no more

That's true
Need I remind you we some renegades
Here for revolution at the end of the day
Capitalism ain't the means for change
It's Cannibalism for financial gain
Social justice drowning under deep decline
Woeful women and their children cry
Syria to Yemin Jordan Palestine
Africa India Caribbean combined
We living large never lavish
Bars taught in classes
Cars we don't brag on this
Stars in this Black-ish
God's got my back
Keep me shining so I'm backlit
Off the top shows
Its a no to a tracklist
Woe
I feel the soul
For years yeah we've been
Taking it to the mattress
Gangsta without ratchetness
Pour some more grease on the fire for these catfish
You got these cats from the internet talking from their chest
From their chest
From their chest
Hide behind their avatar see us in the flesh
In the flesh
In the flesh
Then they ain't got much to say no more
Much to say no more

It's a fire it's a fire
Burning flames crushing a desire
To inspire
It's a fire
Buildings are burning
Cuz people are yearning for justice
The unwillingness to discuss this
Is a fire just waiting to happen
And it's already happening, where's the fire captain
It's a fire
Not just smoke
It's flames
Destroying everything in it's lane
Its a fire
Straight to the point like the tip of my bicuspids
Used and abused cuz this dudes a man of substance
I'm not kidding, there's many people
I put on
Put time in
For what ever reason they're put off by my kindness
Well, be put off
Let me put my foot off into your heinie
Get behind me your highness
You're like Satan
Satanic and blatant
Trans Atlantic beneficiary
Complacent
And now that Trump has taken you all out the basement
You are not higher level just a higher devil
And I've been patient
And some have been even impatient with my patience
Thinking I am in cahoots with you
Even to the extent of bing content with my own displacement
Never me, it will never be
I have lost good friends made enemies for my loyalties
Sacrifices royalties
Cuz I see fire when you see
Peace
It's a fire it's a fire
Burning flames crushing a desire
To inspire
It's a fire
Buildings are burning
Cuz people are yearning for justice
The unwillingness to discuss this
Is a fire just waiting to happen
And it's already happening, where's the fire captain
It's a fire
Not just smoke
It's flames
Destroying everything in it's lane
Its a fire
Its a fire
My Christian friends get misty when
I speak of injustices
Those who persist in sin
They twist and bend the facts
And defend and spin the truth for lies
Killing Christ all over again
I hate it
Whatever your religion is I will never debate it
We're all in a journey to make it
If you make it I congratulate it
You made it
We all come in this world naked
We leave vacant
Just a shell
Our souls dwell in another dimension
Making a different statement
So, while we're walking this pavement
I pray that every engagement
That you entertain
Is way more than entertainment
And hopefully no enslavement
On other planes
Cuz as they say we have two choices
Evolve or repeat
Dissolve the evil inside us and be free
It may not easy
Follow me
1000 degree heat my suit can withstand
I'm a fire man
It's a fire it's a fire
Burning flames crushing a desire
To inspire
It's a fire
Buildings are burning
Cuz people are yearning for justice
The unwillingness to discuss this
Is a fire just waiting to happen
And it's already happening, where's the fire captain
It's a fire
Not just smoke
It's flames
Destroying everything in it's lane
Its a fire

I been in the mood to tell some dudes
Let's go innovate
Looking for the like minded crews to do it really great
We can incubate turn the heat up and hatch eggs
Bruce Wayne with the Pennyworth plus a bat cave
AD tour with babies plus a white boy
Diverse verses. Cursing and violence is white noise
Right choice, for anyone that don't wanna fight joy
Viceroy butterfly wings sing wit dat tight voice
Got pianos and strings
Trying to set the setting
Trying to increase the drama
Trying to spark the blessings
Trying to humble my own self
And get my bearings
Bowing down the king
He said you got the heat
Bringing that heat man
Some organic beats man
Can't get more complete than
What you are seeing
We can't be discreet fam
We need this connection
Sorta like ya weed man
Hey hey
I believe before I die
The U.S. won't be a relevant empire
It will sink within it's own muck & mire
And the meek will inherit it all
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Constant and I won't stop
We see the best that's inside of you
Its Beautiful things that we salute
It's beautiful things we celebrate
He wants a bad bitch
I got em an untrained puppy
Lets stop altogether calling women bitches
They lovely
God don't like ugly
He didn't make us ugly
Y'all playing games like rugby
There is no ugly ducklings
Propaganda today
From Edward Bernays
Buying what we don't need
We psychologically changed
A Nike economy, Jays
Slides gotta be Ye's
Bags got a Hermes
Freed to be better slaves
Hey
When a clown moves into a palace
He doesn't become a king
The palace becomes a circus
We don't rap about things
If they is worthless
Keep the devil down low and
Bring spirit to the surface
Got some jokers nervous
Stirring up the serpent
Some people lurking to take advantage of those that's hurting
And that's for certain
America's principals, is so beautiful
It needs to repent and get back to those
I believe before I die
the U.S. won't be a relevant empire
It will sink within it's own muck & mire
And the meek will inherit it all
Hey hey hey hey

Turn the speakers up the speakers up
Turn the speakers up man
We all in a zone bout to erupt man
None of this is luck man
Passion mixed with action n such n such fam
Can't explain it
Out the shell
Simply nuts man
Last two albums I've been complaining
Like I'm a defendant
Haters holding court like they're the plaintiff
Dudes with man boobs
With commentary bout tracks and raps they can't do
Usually conscious but like Mexico
You can coon
Boosters in Calabasas
Switching the plates so cops can't trace
The way they that navigate
It's Grand theft auto
But the automobile is our music masters
free up our catalog
The industry's a landscape
Thirty years eating
Sticking to our gut like after having pancakes
I'm loving my bandmates
Together there's a bond they can't break
So
Let's take it higher
Vibrations
Let's take it higher
Oh

Give our leaders love
Proceeding feeding, pleading, meeting, bleeding our own blood
And exceeding thru the mud
Pour some concrete on us
And even thru the cracks
Traces of some flower buds
Give it up
Four hundred years
Cheers to an overflowing cup
Robust
For every action equal and opposite reaction
Witness our thrust man
Known for the substance
Cuties with that beauty
It's a duty to discuss this
Big booty can I trust it
Married man adjusting
Used to want a piece of pie
Now I reside
In the upper crust fam
Bout to eat it up
Funky with dat cosmic slop
My hip hop will leave em in my cosmic dust man
Too many of us transitioning
It's humbling
If you reach your fifties
Good luck man
Damn

A little more that ain't enough
We like it loud
And when they hear the sound
The crowd it will erupt
And run amuck
Back in the day
In LA with Kurupt
I had that St. Ives in my cup
And I spilled it on my chucks
Heyy
Listening to sound check
I hear that feedback
Hey I'm asking for a friend
Partner where that weed at
JJ Boogie
Im not the type to put dem diamonds in my chain
I'm the type to jump around with Everlast and House of Pain like a rookie
I be pounding
Got that Rockford Fosgate and my woofers competition boy the inches twenty-eight
I put tweeters in my dashboard that was a big mistake
I use styrofoam and carpet so my window doesn't break

I'm Bumping Ginuwine

God bless
Uh
To fellow sinners God bless you
Strength from the angels cuz the devils out to test you
Limits to human strength and where it can get you
Money's drying up, robbers wet you
No unity Just F you
God bless you
Police on the beat like they got MPC's
Bums needing to use the public restroom
Bless you
Homeless and destitute
Now it's more than homeless peoples truth
We need a wetsuit
We in a cesspool
We are average citizens
With innocent sentiments
Conditioned from these richer men
We are all broken
We need freedom from the oligarchs
Freedom from the choking
Young girl wanderers
Lost in these cold streets
Pimps start to sandwich her
Sell her like some cold meats
From Goldsteins to dope fiends
Tricks God bless you
Big grown men
On a binge
Hoping pain will end
Bless you
Even in your sin
God bless you
Mean people crushed and oppressed you
Use and molest you
Even get the same from those
Who were supposed to protect you
We bringing it back
We giving it back
By singing the facts
The people react
The start of the track
From front to the back
We harness the hardness of premium rap
The proof is the roof being torn off the racks
And cannon is loose shooting
The truth for rasta roots
And heads in the pack
Yeah
I play my role
Too many from broken homes
We all are just broken souls
We all are just broken souls
The evil people, they know
That's how they keep their control
That's how they keep their control
They want to keep us so low
We only know what we know
We only know what we know
God bless you and yours
It's like the end of times
Seems intent on making its premiere
The carpet stained
With the blood of life's evicted
Sheer chaos amidst the politician's payoffs
The war of semi autos versus sticks got us shifting gear
To overdrive towards event horizon
The recourse is resort to cement for housing
Cities in a uproar, working to the marrow
Just to barely scrape, paper chase
A pretense for thriving
You looking for one love lil buddy try Nesta
Cuz greed, violence and crime the global trifecta
I seen too many souls disposed in my sector
By the same laws controlling prenatal trimesters
Hypocritical oaths in court direct us
By power hungry figures who less judge and more jester
Know everyday pressure make our value more precious
And that's the part that they could never threaten
God bless ya
Yeah when moments of change don't even seem to register
A spiritual battle is needed even be it secular
Evil people aiming for the jugular
We in the same vein but on the regular
Covering the oppressed from the cold
The people's comforter
Til we're self-determined
Hospitality of a Southerner
Evil folks ain't loving us
I play my role
Too many from broken homes
We all are just broken souls
We all are just broken souls
The Evil people, they know
That's how they keep their control
That's how they keep their control
They want to keep us so low
We only know what we know
We only know what we know
God bless you and yours
Sneeze on the track, bless me
Don't arrest me
I be LA sparking like a Leslie
Address me correctly
1Love yes, dress freshly
I was baptized on a jet ski
God bless me
Crypto less
We invest in protesting
Eat mo flesh, yes the virus were ingesting
Knowledge is suppressed, classrooms are depressing
Here we teach sons that guns need testing
Are we progressing, enough heads guessing
I was Black on tour so security undressed me
What they say, TSA, they messy
yeah
Relying on religion
A popular decision
Im praying and I'm wishing
For a pearly gate admission
A Muslim and Christian were fighting in the kitchen
In prison, over fried pork chop versus chicken
Division, brothas gon get the message
If we left it to these red necks, we'll be buried every second
So vote, Im confused, did we win, did we lose
You want in boi u better
Be some friends with some Jews
Ain't no casket to fit in, just a hole u nigga get in
We chillin attending boycotts and a sit in
They kill'n, lives everyday, who's the villian

Uh
With my life there's no equal
I fly private jets but I sit with 200 other people
Just to show my team that I am above reproach
I decided to ride coach
First class
No way never nope
I'm humble
Or sarcastic either one
They say You can't trust a big butt and a smile
I'm so lucky my girl wasn't smiling
Met on Briarcliff I wasn't expecting
A life change
Met my woman
She gone be my wifey
Where my last name becomes her last name
She always gives me brain
Cuz
Falling in love is insane
And then I said say baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooo, at the right time
you'd be mine
You'd be mine you
You'd be mine you
You'd be mine you
I wanna lose weight great they say it's gonna be hard nah
Cuz booty has lots of fat, but no carbs
I'll eat that
My wife's got a lasting supply I got a serious appetite
And I'm a passionate guy
He said his sexual preference was often
She said her sexual selection was married
He said his sexual prowess was Steve Austin
She said hers ain't as bionic it varies
The real power of a man
Is the size of the smile of the woman sitting next to him
In this rap game
Life's a Boomerang some Robyn and some given
I used to have a life - but now only a mission
I been hoping for thirty years
That you give me a listen was just a lonely musician
And then I said say baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooo, at the right time
you'd be mine
You'd be mine you
You'd be mine you
You'd be mine you
Tudo é colorido
Tudo é mais bonito
Quando é alma gêmea baby
A vida à dois é melhor
O seu amor pour ela não cai
O pecado mora ao lado em cima
Nada disso te distraiu
Admiro e respeito
Aumenta no meu conceito
Quem abre o coração a mil
Expõe o que guarda no peito
Amor é qualidade nos nossos defeitos
Now feel the vibe feel the vibe
La la la la la
Southside midwest
All the way to the west lets get live
Everybody that believes in love let me see you outside
La la la la la
You'd be mine
Ohh
You'd be mine
And then I said say baby
Baby, can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooo, at the right time
You'd be mine
You'd be mine
You'd
You'd be mine
You'd
You'd be mine
You'd
You'd be mine
You'd
You'd be mine you
You'd
You'd be mine you
You'd
You'd be mine you
You'd
You'd be mine you
You be mine

I'm grateful
Uh
Can you turn me up a bit
Just the vocal
One day I was walking with this nice white girl
I'll never forget our vision was day and night about the world
Her perspective was so light
No constant plight for her
I wasn't intrigued she knew the future would be bright for her
She wasn't at all scared about what might occur
She knew evil was around but something mightier
Had her back, the privileges of being white
So white of her
Anywhere she traveled there was little that would stifle her
But that wasn't me
My melanin made me criminal with felonies
My history was so violent, embarrassing
I'll never for get Roots coming on tv
None of us knew where we came from or anything
We would all watch Happy Days with Evel Knieve Vel
Republicans today would go back to this scene
That's why they hate the words woke and CRT
As if ninety nine percent of em know what it means
I know what it means
It means I can't rely on human beings
It means I must go higher than
Brutal beatings
Til my eulogy
It's l i f and e
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I put my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
And ya know I'm like
Trying to keep my wife cool as a cucumber
Hot flashes
Where every summer's a hot girl summer
No wonder she don't ride w stallions or rock with minaj's
Rocks with Black Queens that gleam without diamonds
New days and new ways
I surrender
Release the chains on me
God please enter
Cuz most people are California sober weeds and drinks only
Satan don't control me
Hustling with hustlers everyones a customer
Step by step to some the only crystal clear is crystal meth
Sometimes the only thing that's dear is taking a breath
Some trying to take a right but making a left
The life once in it is hard to get out
The best is not to get in, in the first place
Innocence
So I salute you if you did it
But I'm militant, I shine like a filament
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I Pput my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I put my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm giggity grateful for my life, my wife the price
She paid the sacrifice the fights the nights
I made my bed I laid my head
I'm nice
I rolled the dice
I hit
My lick was the lights yeah
I'm One of the stars
Like Bruno and Mars yeah
I'm fasting from broads
With emotional scars yeah
From stashin them jars
To crashing them cars
I waited
You hate it
I made it this far
From these mics and my bars yeah
From the bottom now we busting out the roof
Im breaking bread just like these white folks break a truce
I'm so thankful that he blessed me with the juice
Make no excuse
Put it to use
I'm rejoicing, lift my voice
I'm living proof
My family fed but it's like my head still in a noose
I've been misled cause what I read was not the truth
Don't act aloof
Get in the booth
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful deep inside
I'm so grateful deep inside
I put my hands up to the sky
Make me better for the ride
I'm so grateful for my life
I'm so grateful for my life

All the sudden I'm seeing in color
Seeing one another
Sister and brother
Fathers and mother
Humanity is no longer undercover
A spiritual push
Yeah
Everybody is live as we vibing tonight
Open eyes see the skies
We can fly
We can anything we want to in life
Uh
I think we should rise while we are energized
It couldn't be, naw

So put your hand in the air, in the air
wave em like you don't care, don't care
Because we all right here, right here
Right now, now
Now
You're born looking like your dad
You die looking like your decisions
I feel bad when we've
Been through all
We have
And don't possess the know how
To rise above the riff raf while
Keeping your vision
You say we got beef
I see it as Bolongna
Why is everybody on me
Why am I feeling so lonely
My minds been in the clouds
Earth people below me
Now everybody is bubbling to the top slowly
I love it
Always been in the world but not of it
Other peoples careers I don't covet
Seems like the world is on my shoulders
I can't shrug it
There's a problem I can't unplug it
But as a people together
We are above rugged
Naw
It couldn't be
It couldn't be more of a beautiful night
It couldn't be
It couldn't be, naw
It couldn't be, naw
It couldn't be
It couldn't be more of a beautiful night
It couldn't be, naw
It couldn't be, naw
It couldn't be
It couldn't be more of a beautiful night
It couldn't be, naw
It couldn't be, naw
It couldn't be
It couldn't be more of a beautiful night
Couldn't be
More
More
More
More
It Couldn't be
More
More
More
It couldn't be more
Put your hand in the air, in the air
wave em like you don't care, don't care
Because we all right here, right here
Right now, now
Right now
Right
Now

Yeah
Whew
Uh huh
Yo
Milwaukee born and raised, my peoples they know
Us young cats a hit capitol like Muscle Shoals
I can't stop believing my journey of bobbin and weaving
I have more than I could ever say like Jeff Bezos
But you need to know
Like Amazon we deliver
Our reign hit the forest plus flooding the rivers
Oxymoron hot rhymes giving em shivers
Our foes kept a watchful eye like a baby sitter
Watch
Yeah
But we ain't no babies, no Johnny come lately's
Every Since the early eighties, purely from Hades
Laverne and Shirley with the rabies
Some dogs must a malled some of ya'll
Taking bites while brewing for ratings
Purple rain going crazy
Payments delaying
My wife said I'm always deep, but to me
To stay grounded, the ocean floor is the place to be
Otherwise your beliefs just float
without any hope that control is within your reach
Reach
Yeah
All great men ain't good men
But any good man can become a great one
I've chosen what I have chosen
I been woke and I ain't dozing
Like dat airport slogan
If you see something then say something
Whew
If you see something then say something
Denying that inside I'm embittered
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
By saying something there's a likelihood
That on radio there's no way we'll be bumpin
So to Kris's Kross that in concert we keep em jumpin
And then the dream is more streams thru algorithms
And playlists maybe AD can get lumped in
Steve Jobs single handedly crushed the industry
Now music is basically free
Artists hardly eat
Got us selling perfumes and liquors
Or else five to six figures tops is where you will likely be
You're lucky to sell ten thousand units a week
Most artists sell hundreds if I keep it a hundred
Yet my creativity never been more abundant
Yet interviews asked about Drake like I'm a pundit
Trust
Thirty years plus and rare is security for us
Financially I'm just learning bout four-o-one k's
And how better to use our pay to try to spread it
To members I told em rememberer there will be better days
We can drink outta Grammy horns but at Longhorns we eat salad plates
And every once in a while a steak
Part of what I say is hyperbole and other things literal
I'm seeing more war cuz I'm the general
I guess its just that way
Yet and still like birthdays
We somehow getting cake
Denying that inside I'm embittered
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
Savànt
The man who has said he has no regrets
Is a man who has yet to learn to self reflect
We are Born free somehow die in dept
As time progress think of time I invest
Striving to be the best with lyrics that's clever
Til everyone dies and no one's here to remember
Ain't that something your favor rapper
Eighties actor ain't a thing or factor
Kids see your childhood can't restrain their laughter
I'm thinQing to myself you
Ungrateful bastards
I study the past for the master classes
That's why my raps and my tracks are classic
Perhaps without these apps you'd be half as backwards
You really thinQ Ai could match this magic
I'm telling you it can't so cancel it cancel cancerous thoughts like that it's
Arrogant
Denying that inside I'm embittered
And moping and numb and I'm sad
And I'm mad that I care, and I'm mad that I'm here
And I'm aware of their arrogance
Aware of their arrogance
