Music: Sexton; Lyrics: Hexum/Martinez
This one is dedicated to the excitable ones
Not the possums playing dead messing with my head
"X" amount of action, "X" amount of games
For years again I tell you the same, ooh ooh ooo
Gone already to the bored of it all type, lingo
that I'm seein every single night I'm out
Bustin' head for it but your's gets busted right back
Lip split and, I messed up but I got back tryin'
Don't bother lying 'bout constant dissapointment
But the fun in the hunt so quit actin' on a front
You're unmotivaded You're sorta faded
But the remedy is not so get on with what you got
Remember "Lady of Guadelupe"
The times my mother made mole
After mass we would get home
The girls running to the phone
And I'm in my bedroom the 45 on my record player
Was "We're in this love together"
At the time I never realized how songs haunted
The ones that I heard I played because I wanted
Drawing on my wall from time to time coolin'
Making creatures come alive with no schoolin'
When I'm on the microphone
The method that I make is much patience
The method that I make is much patience
I wait for the beat and then I make sense
I'm comin' in hot forgot you definitely got no clue
I'm comin' in hot you got you definitely got so rude
Boy actin' coy but you got nuts like Almond Joy
I tell ya this is a tribute
No one looks as foolish as the excitable ones
But then again there's no one has as much fun
"X" amount of action, "X" amount of games
For years again I tell you the same, ooh ooh ooo
Once I met a man who made nearly no mistakes
He would never bet on a longshot
Never bet on a break and
He's condescending and talks gossip galore
But the dude was definitely such a bore
Hear me now I messed up but I got back trying
Don't bother lying 'bout constant dissapointment
But the fun is in the hunt so quit actin' on a front
Yeah, unmotivated you're sort faded
But the real man is not
The one hiding behind the gunshot, boom!
Time travelin' through my memory
There's a younger doug gazin' at the galaxy
Space trippin' vato of the stars
Searchin' for UFO's from Neptune and Mars
Ode to an alien I know you're out there
Cosmic lonely heart tell me if you care
I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground
I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground
When I'm on the microphone
The method that I make is much patience
The method that I make is much patience
I wait for the beat and then I make sense
I'm comin' in hot forgot you definitely got no clue
I'm comin' in hot you got you definitely got so rude
Boy actin' coy you got nuts liek Almond Joy
I tell ya this is a tribute
I'm vexing many mofos but I'm wishing you the best
I keep 'bout half my lyrics and I throw out the best
Cause fly on by, you can if you want
The method that makes sense is patience
Hear me now I messed up but I got back trying
Don't bother lying 'bout constant dissapointment

The things your eyes have seen
Are the content of my darkest dreams
But you take it willingly
The war that keeps my family free
To all the brothers that have gone
I want your memory to live on
As I'm on my knees I hope your heart can hear me
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done
Across the foreign shores
Are the souls I won't ignore
That would not run from our enemies
As we rest in our peace
Tonight I'm praying for your child
That it won't be a long while
'Till all our brothers come home
To fight no more
I'm praying as you're sleeping
Peace will find your dreams tonight
And you'll know
I am so thankful for all you've done
And as the rain stops falling
I thank my God
It's camouflaging the tears
The fall from my eyes
As you're coming home

Defness is a blindness deny through that burn inside
Will life go on any longer a blank page in the book of life
Conceive this time behind me because the future is gone
Meet face to face with a bad dream the thought remains
It can't go on
Will you be standing there
Call my name at the ending light
I'll set my soul beside you
God forgive this ending life
Dave where are you going
This burn in my heart is growing
Down on myself, I don't want to be
Set my soul apart constrict the feelings
I want to break free
Escape
Defness is a blindness deny through that burn inside
Will life go on any longer a blank page in the book of life
Conceive this time behind me because the future is gone
Meet face to face with a bad dream the thought remains
It can't go on
Will you be standing there
Call my name at the ending light
I'll set my soul beside you
God forgive this ending life
Dave where are you going
This burn in my heart is growing
Down on myself, I don't want to be
Set my soul apart constrict the feelings

Three years ago, you left that day.
And I knew I would never be the same.
You left for a brand new life.
No more tears, no more sorrow,
No more of that disease.
Oh God why did you take her from me?
My sweet Claudia... my beloved friend,
God put your suffering to an end.
Can you see me from heaven?
Oh are you proud?
My sweet Claudia,
I cried so loud.
I love you mom,
Please don't fear,
Your baby boy will make it down here.
But you know what?
I miss you.
It will be okay,
It will be alright,
I'll look after dad every night.
I'll just pray that he sees you again.
My sweet Claudia... my beloved friend,
God put your suffering to an end.
Can you see me from heaven?
Oh are you proud?
My sweet Claudia,
I cried so loud.
My Claudia,
I cried so loud.
My Claudia,
I cried so loud.

Come on! Come on! Uh!
That's right, Nonpoint, Darwin's, Grimm in the house, lemme hear that shit
Na'mean? Uh! Bout to slay those fuckin tracks
Here we go, come on!
Once upon a time not long ago
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood
And people was behavin like they are too good
There lived a little boy that was misled
By another little boy and this is what he said
Check it "Me and you kid we gonna make some cash (What! What!)
Robbin old folks and makin' a (Come on! Come on!) dash..."
Their jackets tied, money came with ease
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another (Stick it up!) and another (Stick it up!) Michael Jackson (Stick it up!) Stevie Wonder (Stick it up!)
Tried to rob a man who was a D.C. undercover
The kid got wild startin' actin' erratic
He said "I Got you all in check"
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
When I step up in the place and yo I step correct
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
I got that head nod shit that make you break your neck
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
Well you know we come through to wreck the disco tech
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
Throw your hands up in the air and never disrespect
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
Yo grimm
Whats up?
Which muthafucka stole (Ha! Ha!) my flow?
Eenie, meenie, minie, moe
Throw them types of niggas right out the win-dow
Blast your ass, hit you with a di-rect blow!
BLAH!! Comin through like G.I. Joe
Star Wars movie deal like Han So-lo
Make you bounce around like this was calyp-so
Always shine cause I got the high pro glow
You think that you can hide, you think you can lay low?
Roll up on your ass like Hawaii 5-0
Mad out, with my dreads in my Kang-lo
Forget that Moet nigga, just bash the Cisco!
Yo! Take a trip down to Mexico
Come back with that shit that might make you psycho
Maximum frequency through that stereo
Sorry this is it but homeboy, I gots (Say what?) ta go!
Yo, where you go? Where you at? Bring it back!
Big props to all my people on the hip-hop scene who going
Fast than me with abrushima my inspiration from youth
Killa bee got loose, don't be teared, don't be mad, no, give it the truth, say
M-E-T-H-O-D, Man (x4)
Break yourself nigga!
Hey you! Get off my cloud
Let me get raw with my southpaw style
Mover, puffin on a fat blunt from Cuba
It's the Meth-Tical jet to Cal, I'm the Buddha
Monk on the hunt for machine gun foes
I keeps you open like a slug from the shotgun punk
Double-barrel, yeah Meth bring it to them proper
Partner, you ain't got no wins in me casa
Straight up, you movin too fast so baby wait up
Took one, added seven more now you eight up
Get on down with your bad self
Get on down, listen to the sound, come on!
Few can ever get this whole commit legit
See you all up in my dick
But you don't know shit, uh-huh
What's your definition of a real MC?
From what you dedicated, ya it must be me
Meth-Tical, a lewd descendant of the loud hip-hop
I go on to the break of dawn and just don't stop
Give me the green light and the sign one way
At last, What you got to say? Come on
Move it in, move it out
Stick it in, pull it out
Shake it up, shake it down
Come on y'all, Meth-Tical
Oh I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still
Just a...
M-E-T-H-O-D, Man (x11)
Break yourself (Get the fuck up!) nigga!
M-E-T-H-O-D, Man (x4)
Man! (x3)
M-E-T-H-O-D
Bitch!

["Leaving Babylon" by Bad Brains]

i see your dollar, dollar droped down below

["Johnny Too Bad" by UB40]
walking down the road
with a pistol at your waist
johnny you`re too bad Walking down the road

i say your rockin' non-stoppin' but what else can you say

["Top Rankin'" by Bob Marley]
they don't want to see us unite
all they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting
they don't want to see us live together
all they want us to do is keep on killing one another
top rankin', top rankin'
are you skankin'? top rankin', top rankin'
are you skankin'? i said are you skankin'?
they say the blood runs;
it runs through
and our hearts, heart of hearts divine
and john said them comin', ooh
from an ancient time
the brotherly love, the sisterly love
i feel this morning;
brotherly love, the sisterly love
i feel this morning, this morning.
they don't want us live forever
all they want us to do is keep on runnin' and fighting
they don't want to see us live forever
all they want us to do is keep on killing one another
i say, darlin, are you skankin' now?
are you skankin',skankin', skankin'
are you skankin', skankin', skankin'
are you skankin', skankin', skankin', yea
are you skankin', skankin', skankin'
["Zimbabwe" by Bob Marley]
and in this judgment there is no partiality
so arm in arms, with arms
we will fight this little struggle
'cause that is the only way
we can overcome our little trouble
brother you're wrong, you're right
you're wrong, you're right, you're so right
we'll have to fight, we'll have to fight

I feel so far away
And so unclose to you
He feels just as I
Just the same as I do too
Born into a world where consequences take their toll on us
why me?
what for?
what did we ever do
to deserve such cruelty to me?
our mother loves us only as a responsibility
is this what you call a dysfunctional family?
Why are we insignificant
And less important to mommy
Than otheres are to you?
Forced maturity we're left alone with nothing but ourselves
why me?
what for?
what did we ever do
to deserve such cruelty to me?
our mother loves us only as a responsibility

To this point in life we've had no experience
And it feels like we're smashed beyond recognition
Bleak sections of thoughts a contrast to my hope
This is a form of tribute to the world you're digging in
I see my enemy, not a good comunity.
Separated by filthy worms we're getting smaller and smaller
And isolated as we're following the pilgrim path
Fields and narrow walleyes lays upon us with hate
You're the cream of my dream and nothing can come between.
I see my enemy, not a good comunity.
Only death can come between us and the heavenly earth.
Only death can come between us and the heavenly earth.
To this point in life we've had no experience
And it feels like we're smashed beyond recognition
Bleak sections of thoughts a contrast to my hope
This is a form of tribute to the world you're digging in
I see my enemy, not a good comunity.

[Spoken]
This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.
Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:
[Sung]
"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)
[Spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... "Okay."
[Sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his rubber tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"
And we said, "Nay. We are but men."
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin' song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[Spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound
anything like this song.
[Sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe it!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin',
So surprised to find you can't stop it.
[Skat]

This was a grave day
People wanna hear it
People wanna smell it
They give me their cigarette
The way you look
Don't ever change in a mirror
You have promised yourself
To be straight
Straight up into the sun
So show me your real face
Send all your wishes I'll give them all to you
With that money you're getting cruel
Is that the shit you're waiting for
And now you want more and more
I'm falling asleep

And if you don't like it
You'd better find another way
What would you do to get your money back?
I'm all in the game ready to be quick 'cuz
What you earn and what you say
Isn't there not a fee no one likes to pay?
What would you do to get your money back?
I'm all in the game ready to attack 'cuz
What you earn and what you say

Tell me why?
Tell me how?
Tell me your secrets
I'm sick of this
Don't play with that money child
You look so funny
Yes that's the shit you're waiting for
Now I know it better get out the door
What would you do to get your money back?
I'm all in the game ready to attack 'cuz
What you earn and what you say
Isn't there not a fee no one likes to pay?
What would you do to get your money back?

Too much to pay

(Aaron Nordquist)
This is my tribute to you
Because I love you and you love me too
You'll stay with me until the end
You mean so much to me, your my best friend
When your near your love surrounds me
You're the only thing that makes my heart beat
As I hold you in my arms
My heart can't pull away from your looks or charms
Whether you're near or far away
Our love for each other will always stay
Chorus
When I'm near you and I hear you speak my name
You know you are setting my heart aflame
Your lips so tender your body so slender
Lover I surrender, This is my tribute to you
My fingers running through your hair
So silky fair and fine
Promise to me that you'll always be mine
Whenever youre near my hopes and dreams conquer my fears
Who could bring me heaven when heavens already here
When I'm near you and I hear you speak my name
You know you are setting my heart aflame
Your lips so tender your body so slender
Lover I surrender, This is my tribute to you
Ever since that night, we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out alright, us meeting in the night
Ever since we said our fist hello, at that moment I began to know
When I'm near you and I hear you speak my name
You know you are setting my heart aflame
Your lips so tender your body so slender
Lover I surrender, This is my tribute to you
This is my tribute to you
Because I love you and you love me too
You'll stay with me until the end
You mean so much to me, your my best friend
When your near your love surrounds me

[O.C.]

[Chorus: Woman singing]
I know you can hear me cuz I'm still feelin you, oooh
(Feelin you baby)
I know that you can hear me cuz I'm still feelin yoooou, yeah
[O.C.]
Yeah yo
If I recall it was Valentine's Day
Me and the misses gettin ready for a night on the town to parlay
The phone ring, I check the caller ID
Seen your phone number, damn I shoulda answered it
If I had the slighest idea that was gonna be our last convo,
I woulda picked up yo
Please accept my apology, I know you're listenin
It ain't a day that go by without the crew sayin we miss him
February 15th, you was judged by the most high
I was really mad at God
You had big plans, you was about to be the man and I'm
Proud to death that you a part of the fam
It be a privilege you associated wit us
I hope you in a good place where life is love
P.S. keep lookin over us, paw
Wherever ya at, wherever ya are, love ya nigga
[Chorus]
[A.G.]
Now what's the deal, dog
The tune really got me zonin
So I can't build long cuz it feel wrong
So I dedicate this to make this right
Rep you to death so it's Flamboyant for life
Missin you, wishin you were here back wit us
On this track wit us, but the facts are rough
Woulda loved to see you hit it off, that platinum stuff
But my dog was layed to rest when the gat was bust
You was the man in San Fran, headline in Amsterdam
I even seen you put it on in Japan
They had to barricade your wake cuz we came in packs
To see L, Coogi and specks, wit the hat to match
And that was dope, and if he woulda woke and spoke
I bet my next royalty check he woulda cracked a joke
1-3-9 live nigga, the hood die young
They say the good die young, Harlem fly nigga
[Chorus]
[Lord Finesse]
I know you hear us, L
I don't know how much can be taken by one man
Lost you and my grandmother in a five-month span
Thought we'd both live to see the golden years
Drinkin beer on the sidewalk in foldin chairs
If we couldn't spit rap, we'd live quite fat
Playin chess in the park, you know shit like that
When we first met, down at Rock and Will's
Knew it wasn't gon' be a problem to cop you a deal
Used to come through the block just to stop and build
It was all just a dream but shit got for real
When you signed your first deal, you went the slow route
You was a bad mothafucker kid, no doubt
You had the plan and all, standin tall
We stay breakin night at the gamblin hall
You know our steelo, we turn street corners into casinos
Blackjack to C-lo's, Spades to Pokino
We stack notes, played around, cracked jokes
Now you a livin legend of rap quotes
No doubt, you left a lastin impression
That's why I'm not too fond of people askin me questions
Your memories'll be hauntin to mines
Or cats out there who didn't want you to shine
They ain't know but I knew and you'll forever be
Big L Corleone, Mister MVP, feel me?

She was walking back
When she was hit the world split in half
It couldn't handle impact
Of the goodness that had left
She wasn't giving in
She was taken from us
And I don't understand
What good came of it
He was blowing up
The emotions were too much
And it's amazing how a single rope can put the dagger in our hope
He was giving in
He couldn't take it anymore
If only he could see
Who loved him so dearly
She was a gorgeous girl
Her smile contagious
And I don't know what I would be if I had not seen
She wasn't giving in
She was taken from us
And though I know I should
Forgiveness don't come quick
He was a great friend
Loyal from the start
And I won't let go
And I won't forget his
Cranberry juice
And his LRG oh no
His two fake teeth
Oh, Mr. Johns rest in peace
Rest in peace,
Rest in peace, oh Courtney
Rest in peace
And save room for me
And save room for me
And save room for me oh both of you
Room for me
