about

freedom, security, and selling out.

lyrics

I need speed and adrenalin, heat and passion
forget fittin in, I'd rather stay blastin'
spittin this sickness kick this data
rockin' with realness make brains splatter
sic subject matter - cradle to grave
the hell we create, the paradise we pave
the slave and the scholar the all-mighty dolla
hot summer nights that make ya wanna holla
the bass-line's addictive - i'm a funk junkie
ain't rhymin for rich kids i don' want they money
jus' tryna speak truth for my workin class folks
make ya move, make ya dance, maybe give ya'll some hope
choke the life out the mainstream news, they so foul
if ya wanna make change we gotta build change now
fat cats get fatter, they mad bloated
n' if ya see me in they news then i'm prolly misquoted

I hate the mainstream bling bling corporate rap scene
it's time cut 'em off - like gangrene
a million fake people tryna do the same thing
instead i flip the script when i rip, come clean
stupid suckas spit sloppy straight slurin their words
i pronounce my prose properly, ya heard?
damn right - I do it differently,droppin dope diction
kickin the vision, spit nonfiction
cuz your goddamn right
I'm on a mission
cuz I pay my dues the old fashioned way
workin hard every day, it's a passion play
I'd rather live my life for me with no boss
then have a steady paycheck and sell it at a loss
trade security for freedom, it's highly recommended
ya'll do just the opposite, it cannot be defended

my flows run thick like le brea tar pits
to fossilize fake mcs & hypocrites
the band breaks the beat down so I can really rip
and stomp stupid saps spittin that silliness
I got no beef with gangsters rhymin' about they life
my beef is with you fakers tellin' lies, I like
that realness, so I speak from my experience
go on what I know so my flow stay furious
since I got my first mic, & kicked the verse tight
kept going from the sunset to the first light
like us against the world? ya'll, that's the worst fight
so I try to stay conscious, treat this earth right
we live like parasites, endless consumption
it's time to set it right, consider function
so I gotta spit it tight, bring that next s--
'n expose the ways we're all connected
