INTRO
Uhh, yeah
Cap Hill
Making all the honeys say "Ooh"
Making all the ladies say "Ooh"
"Check it, check it out now. Check it check it out"
Saukrates come wit it
When I reach two fold, be like he done did it
Psycho, how one mic blow with one lyric
Keeping it raw dog, intelligent thug share it
Keeping it raw dog, and jealous cats them fear it
Splash afrodite, raise a whole spirit
Cash spell well, avoiding head swells
My game tight everynight, can't you smell?
I mean can't you tell?
Oh, I fucked up, not really
These games help me loosen whatever got you stuck up
In the first place, your first taste
Of remedy raps, scenario one worse case
I wanna get with you, at first no go
'Til I hit you with words, I call them the bitch missiles
Equip with a couple uppercuts of warm breath
Defenseless, your only escape is death
Pardon me miss, let me light your cigarette
Sip that shit slow, there'll be no regrets
Tonight, baby shine bright and reflect my light
Ask was she interested, she said 'um, quite'
CHORUS
"Check it, check it out now. Check it check it out" (REPEAT 7X)
Kick the chips off the shoulders of all bitches
(Acting like you've never seen a dick, when all y'all give head)
I'm the yeast you the flour, let's go make some quick bread
Acting like you've never seen a dick
Chick let's talk for a minute sipping on coke and glim fitted(?)
I seen you checking me out, your glasses ain't tinted
>From my start to your finish I'm in it to win it
Burn like carosene, all night sex critic
For now, wink with that eye brow, black cow
Faking surpise because you came with two tough guys
Seems like trapping this trick would be a dream
Putting niggas on my tab, now we on the same team
Boom, peep my words, saying it real simplistic
Reading your mind on some devil's advocate shit
I had to bag da biscuit
My protocol proving to penetrate, bait couldn't resist it
Play that sport right, player in the same night
Name, number, the works, you make wrong right
I hope, you're prepared for a very long night
Yo, it's on, what colour's your thong? White
Thought so
[INTRO to 'Professional']
Niggas have always on some superhero shit anyway, you know. I was like
shit, I mean I can come with mine too. But I figured with this one I'll let
my imagine just run wild and I'll give you the ultimate superhero shit, you
I first saw my baby on the Subway train
on my way home from a cue in White Plains
A pretty young thing, brown eyes and skin clean
with the poise of a queen though she was only 15
And I was 16, my mind was in a swirl,
and by the looks of this girl
I was a peasant
who did not have a chance or a prayer in the world
Just another nigga with them rasta curls
so she on the train did avoid me
Sick to her brain assumin' I would most likely be
a hustler, I said fuck it, she could never like me
or much less love
I knew she was special, never all of the above
And then I closed my eyes to envision me and her as one
on a California beach in the sun
When I opened my eyes, yo, the train ride was done
I glanced her way, only to receive nothing in return
knowing that one day I would earn
a chance with this woman trapped in a teen's body
I would play America, you could be John Gotti, I'm sayin...
[You're My Lady]
California, California
You remind me, You remind me
[You're My Lady]
California, Califonia
You remind me, You remind me
A whole year went by without seeing her once
It seemed that every day was as long as a month
And now it seemed days eternally
It's she I want, but also to be an MC is what I wanted
To earn a dollar, every other girl seemed sour
The only thing I pictured in my mind
was my California sunshine
I told my niggas in time, that girl would be mine
They called me crazy, assumin' that I was mad lazy
and lacked the monetary
assets, plus my style was not sanitary
'cause everybody knew she was fly with fitness
being witness to her once a year was cool
fuck Christmas
When I brought it up my niggas dismissed
ignoring the mockery
I kept it locked in my mind tightly
California you remind me
Yo, I didn't have my niggas behind me
but then, you were taken anyway
forcing me to postpone plan A
Cali-forn-i-ay...
Chorus
>From a distance
Analyzed my prey with persistence
comin' up with a system
it was straight, a phone call around eight
conversate for a while to find
the whole time it was a mutual attraction
and that news was old
I'm in bliss apparently she was watchin' me
and expected we to probably be
As coherent as the East Coast
and West Coast be
A B-Boy's dream, the serene
yin to my yang that was ragin'
I was amazed
this was all happenin' before a nigga got paid
And after the storm cleared from his parade
Now, there ain't such a thing as stress
She got my back, and with that
I know how it's blessed
A nigga who figured that the search wouldn't start
for another few years I would just stay apart
In love with the Triple X, Heiny and Hennessy
but now you remind me, California memory...
[Saukrates]
I woke up at noon still aching from the previous
Job I had to do last night, shit was serious
Got up out my bed, and picked up my pointsetta
And put him on the balcony so he could get a
Little bit of city sun just to quench his thirst
Plants gotta live too, 'cause they feed the Earth
Just then I got a call from Pete slash Blinky Jones
He said to meet him down a Donny's House of Pork and Bones
And bring the little girl, who people knew as Matilda
And often, who I say before Gestapo could have killed her
Picked up my grip, let it slide into the holster
Although most of, them niggas fear me I'm supposed to
Protect my neck, if not mine then big Petey's
Dipped in the door so no one could even see me
I told Matilda ";wait outside for me boo";
'cause the professional's always confidential, it's true
Then Pete said ";yo, you know Mikey Budafeuco?";
The mafucker cut my last shipment of bazooko
And laced it with soda, so much that you could taste
That slimy ????, I'll make him taste paste
I said ";yo, boss hit me with the source";
And his whole family of course, you know what I mean
Just hit me with the green and I'll see what I can do
To Mikey Budafeu, he said ";straight, arrange your crew";
But that's a no no, the pro only murders solo
I almost lost my life working with teams out in SoHo
California Beach, we was storming the place
Fucked around and almost got buck by Scarface
Tony Montana, but that's another story
A whole other chapter, check the library
Went back to my crib, kissed Matilda goodbye
She started to cry, the sight brought tears to my eys
The next day made my connection, check my directon
My flight to Chicago, first class section
I didn't recognize no one on the plane, this was strange
My inside man was no where that I could claim
The stewardess was over polite, I wondered why
But I didn't give a fuck this trick was mad fly
Speaking of fly, the pilot turned on the intercom
Talking some kind of code something was wrong
Everyone got out of their chairs calmly, and grabbed their stuff
I tried to raise up, but my seat belt was tcuk
Dig it, cool don't panic, I said ";excuse me, my seat belt's broken";
Then the back door opened, shit
I hear it close and my belt unlock
Turn around and there was four mafuckers with glocks
Pointed straight to my dome piece, grabbed my chrome piece
And licked two shots leaving four men deceased
But how the fuck did two bullets kill four niggas
Checked out the cock and found the pilot's cranium disfigured
The click, another piece to my head bone
Turn around and greet Ms Cleopatra Jones
";How ya doing baby? she said, ";I'm chill how 'bout you?";
";Petey sent me as your crew, so what yo gonna do?";
I landed the plane, checked in the hotel
Horny like a mafucker from the ho smell
Broke to the bathroom to clean myself, then she snuck in
Naked to the pussy, straight up shower fuckin'
The walls were shattering with echoes
But ain't a question that killing mafuckers ain't my only profession
Not after two hours of killing crotch
Hit the sack, woke up early to plan my plot *echoed*
** 4 seconds of silence **
It was a mansion on the outskirts of Chicago, I clout
Hood went by the name of Mikey Budafeuco didn't like me
Ms Jones was around back I took the front gates
Two punks on guard with uzis strapped to their waist
Strolled towards a door, but pizano was like
";Yo, who the fuck are you?"; then I pulled out my knife
Slow, without a whipser or hint of hesitation
Made one quick slash and committed decapitation
Left the knife in the neck of the man on the left
And hoppedover the fence, took a short breath *whew*
It didn't take but a second to wait
The rotwilders went psycho, I took one knee and grabbed my rifle
And popped every last one of them sons of bitches
Motivated like a mother by the riches, but no glitches
Got to the door, which is the right button
Red, yellow, or blue, pushed the blue then all of a sudden
I heard footsteps of at least three men running sporting Mack 10s
Backflip under the porch and
Pulled out my piano wire and wrapped it tight
'Round my fists, made it quick with very little fight
Grabbed the fool on the right and silenced his ass
Nigga on the left, a strangle was his death
Motherfucker in the middle, play the monkey caught a cap
Sucking my barrel like a crack junkie
Got through the door and it was straight war
Camo-flague gear getting torn by my ammo
Run up the stairs, tripping over dead thugs
Put they family to shame for fucking with my nigga's drugs
Upon the second floor was faced with three doors, chose the first
A ninja master showing his thirst for my life
But little did he know I be trained
Akido's my middle name, put his ass to shame
Open the next door and out came Kareem
Jabbar, a barefoot size seventeen
I said ";choose your style"; and nigga said ";ostrich";
Yeah sure nigga look more like he took one for hostage
Swinging his shits with no style at all
One swing of my sword left him four feet tall
Third door opend slowly only to show
Cleopatra getting fuck by Mikey Budafeuco
At gunpont the bitch turned straight to Heather Hunter
On a steroid, banging this fool like she wants to
He didn't know I was there so I moved around the front
Rubber gripping, pointed at his dome started tripping
And pleading with my ass as if it ain't my job
To eliminate the families of punks who rob
Pull your dick out nigga this ain't no freak show
Let 'em go 'cause he got touched by the professional
My flight was straight sex in the private jet
Heading home to collect my fitty dollar check
I'm out *echoed*
Intro [saukrates] {choclair}
[pour fador]
{hear this}
[hey, I got my reasons man. conkescador. respect 'em]
{let me just say this}
[you know what I'm saying]
{you're a very pretty girl}
[you know it's a lie
Aaaaah]
{where's your attitude, which was ugly as a motherfucker
You really need to tighten that shit up}
[that was real, that's real
How you make me feel sugar, God damn!]
{you got to fix yourself}
[you know everything is everything]
{'cause there's gonna be one nigga... that might just snap on your ass}
[choclair]
It's 10:15 up in the am, scratch the back, cough the phlegm
I hear the phone ringing
I wipe the sleep from the tear ducks
Phone's ringing, sun's blazing through the curtains
Ignore the phone calls, pager bawls
Check the number, it's 4-1-6-k-c-t-2-2-6-4
The 3 means for me to go an call back immediately
I call back and I'd myself as the chizz-knocka
[saukrates]
Yo, what up potna? I got a little story to tell
About this heavy chickenheaded, brow eye cocktail
Nipples like pickles, did her well to the dills
Spinning in the background, all I could hear was wedding bells
'cause the cock had me locked on pussy detention
Forgot to mention ass cheeks was heavy, broke my suspension
And even got to say what happened
Her body language spoke a new form of rapping
Pussy so tight she grabbed my dick with it and started clapping
When we were done, she said 'thank you sugar' (sugar)
I analyzed her barbed wire tattoo 'round her ankles
Would have taken the time to study it before I hit it
Was killing to get in it,
So I choose to peep the g right after we done did it
I'm telling you this because I'm the sweet pussy critic
I reminisce on ass, pussy, tits and thick lips all over my long prick
You the shit brown eyes, you the shit's what I said
I see you doing movies, getting all up in my nigga's head
Peep what I said, you the bomb and my mind is caught
But listen, the dick is long but the time is short, it's you I'm dissing
You pissing in the wind sugar, I'm ice cold
You ain't never gonna win sugar, I'm twice as bold
As the average pussy chasing, look who you facing
I read you body language, now please get out my basement
[choclair]
But that some shit nigga
I bet if you wanted to,
You'd make that pussy drip like your snotbox up in the winter
Or watch your picture
I knew this trick that was similar to yours
With the tits that stood up, just like the lights upon an '89 accord
As sharp as a sword, with these nipples like ? ? ? ? ?
I was like farmer brown, 'cause I was picking to get in it
Her body looked stolen from a stacey dash mold
If you seen the hold on that ass, shit! (shit)
The cactus had my brain blitzed like I'm smoking l's up in the stairs
My pipe is getting full with the liquid joe(? )
Yo, I wanted to unload and make it spread like pour-ed milk on the floor
The center fold, had me rocked if I stood up
Her shoulders being tapped, yo I'm fiending for the cat
I wonder if she'll feel me
I'm breaking through my jeans, lips looking mad big
Like she could suck the green off army fatigues
Body smooth like a gs3, double ooh on the body I would do
She can take the chizz right out the knock-aaah
You guess you get rock more tricks than the sea
For the chizz-y (chizz-y), real-ly (real-ly)
You see you just pissing in the wind sugar, I'm ice cold
You ain't never gonna win sugar, I'm twice as bold
As the average pussy chasing, look who you facing
I read you body language, now please get out my basement
Outro [saukrates]
Let's go conquistadoris, chocola-tay, oooooww
Yo, I'm used to.. cold to the right, hot to the left,
Turn them on, let the warm water run on my chest
and wash away the stress.
I swear to my mama she die a happy woman on my very last breath.
Lookin back, reminisin'- how many have left us
OGs who used to squeeze with the best touch.
Hold they chrome, and hold they own. It's messed up,
Now a nigga livin' through his ancestas.
Saukrates - 23, turnin' like 45 in a year,
I'm cravin' for the days when I'm out in the clear...
you know, livin'.
I might, sacrifice my life but I won't give in.
Until we spokes has bin in, and my home is chilled out,
and ain't dealin with no less than half a million.
In a crib on some acres, and half these children.
Livin' the life they deserve and just fake realism.
I hit you with the wisom, you ain't with it
then kiss 'em -- THE NUTS.
If you dissin, watch me from a distance.
I'ma hit you with the words that'll make your soul vibrate.
The things that we contemplate, when we comin up...
Keep this rap shit tight **AIGHT**.
Imagine the day that's black forever,
waitin' for the sun to come up.
As hard as you try, it's a lie
you can't change the weather.
Maybe I should stop giving a fuck.
*Plus* You bin tellin me that life goes on,
but as this rap star trek belongs.
You start wonderin' what else could go wrong..
*All you can do is sing your song* in the pockets nigga.
Nigga life time journey to the me, these endless questions,
they play my dome-piece.. like:
What am I do with all the groupies that I meet?
Will I turn the other cheek,
or do I turn the other cheek?
Please freak, you gettin' touched by this
West Indian connection,
let me rub on your titties.
-And get in it for a minute to win it,
let you fall in love with it, then I'm out.
'cause I got work to finish, the music is ma business.
She love me, I trust her, to maximize my bigness.
Now ladies, if u listenin I'ma make you my witness.
I got no love for bitches.
Baby, out with the quickness.
Groupie parade plague, it's a categorized sickness.
Who say, that brother socks got it locked from
LA to Brickston, I'm broke,
for niggas that kill for my position.
I rap to that Vince Carter at Sky Dome,
if you see me on the beat, ET phone home.
And tell yo mama the drama - your old high school friends
on the tube representin' Toronto.
And doin' it right, pursuin his life.
Disease to take flight when he caresses the mic.
Sendin' this one out to cats with unsigned hype,
just do it for you,
[Hook:]
Your love has left me wide open
Your love has left me wide open
Your love has left me wide open
Your love has left me, I don't wanna close the door
How could you leave me here all alone
How could you pretend to be home
How could I lead myself to believe you were here
When you proved me wrong
Every time
How could I be so blind and naive
How'd you keep the truth up your sleeve
How could you let your love turn around in a moment
So short I had no time to bleed wit 'cha
[Hook x2]
How could you let me go all the way
How could you ignore when I say
Your love is built for every day and the light was meant to forever shine
Why did I let my heart go
So easily it led me astray
The way I felt your temperature change
Oh, my summer has turned to winter in my mind
[Hook x2]
[Bridge: x2]
Keep movin', keep movin', keep movin'
Gotta keep movin', keep movin', keep movin'
Man, wha chu doin', you doin', you doin'
Gotta keep movin', keep movin', keep movin'
[Sau] Yeahhh.. a-ha-ha-ha!

[Saukrates]
Yo, yo, get prepared for the double-homicidal, spit reality
So rare got you thinkin it's from another galaxy
Opened a whole bottle of throttle, WHOOP-ASS
Then with one blast, I'm spillin your Mas Clamato
Hang out the black Tahoe, animated like John Bravo
With four fingers stuck in the five hoes
of any given chickenhead, ridin shotgun
I took a lesson from Knockboots, [??] popped 'em
[Redman]
It's Doc place your bets, I'm live D-88 cassette
I'm down low, I don't think me and my neighbors met (HI!)
Raisinette sized hoes in your Avirex
(You fall off) like inter-racial relationships
It's, the rare mooley, can't do nar' to me
Only kid in fifth grade with a infrared toolie
I'm hard-headed, check sun like Con-Eda
Sick flows stay ridin with the paramedics
[Saukrates]
I fuck bitches freaky like albino winos
with five hoes, high off of Tae-Bo fine flows
Paint pictures, so scary
that motherfuckers say Sauk you spittin obituaries
Not verses but viruses, get it?
The mic is like pussy tight and I'm paid to hit it
(You know you did it) I get the dough (Nigga switch your flow)
I'm the real jiggalo, nigga you're Deuce Bigalow
Temporary, switchin like the seasons change
My team rearrange and bring a whole decade of rain
I bite through steel, with these jaws of, life
Get rocked when Doc and Sauk is on the, mic
[Redman]
Broads used to say Redman, don't listen to him
Now they whipped cause I'm in the bed, kissin on Kim
Hips, guerilla my color my nail and my skin
Dipped in hair so get bears to box 'em in
With (GRRR) I'm the D, similar to Michigan
I'm hittin the pussy, y'all babysittin them
That's why hoes wanna, flatten my Michelins
In front of my house with, fuck you signs picketin
Punkin out to a fight dog? It ain't us
Clean my teeth and Timberlands with the same brush
I stretch your body out like Jack Lalanne does
O.J. attitude, Doc carry the same gloves
Remember me, Doc's Da Name?
Brick City, T-Dot, padlock the game
If it reigns then it's Doc and big Sauk to blame
Herbie Hancock MC's - ROCKIN IT
[Chorus]
We be kickin your ass.. on W.K.Y.A.
We be kickin your ass.. on W.K.Y.A.

[R] Say do it feel good to ya? (WHAT?)
Yo.. exclusive on W.K.Y.A.
[Saukrates]
Hey DJ.. DJ.. DJ.. my DJ slice the one and two
My hip-hop union's all in favor of cuttin you
My aphrodis' fo' scheez found a slut in you
Soon as I find a frame strong enough to cut for two
I'm overstoked plus I'm airin dudes
with metaphors sicker than microwaved airplane food
I dare take two pulls, off the blunt that Red rolled
with head full of mari-when-I-bury-one
Wack nigga chasin the clout thing
tryin to out bling (bling) I knocks him out ring
Yo E TURN IT UP if niggaz is doubtin
Bout to bust, when it blows, we movin without him
[Redman]
Sauk, watch my two arms drop bombs on they entourage
Fuck you, the beef we love to jump it off
Don't matter what hood Doc stompin on
Look what I done to dog, bumba claat
Fucked up in the trunk of his aunt garage
He thought I clap guns, but my guns applaud
Fuck the guns, my palm is up to guard
Whether I live or die is up to God
Guerilla tactics, way I, fuck a broad
Robbin me? You might be, up in yours
hospital with a IV, stuck in arm
To finish off, it might be, [??]
(Watch your back) or better yet, watch you front
Watch you die, over this cheap watch you want
Here it is!! The shells of a shotty comin
So next time I get stuck, it's accupunct'
[Chorus x2]
[Saukrates]
I'm loving the weather in this damn neighbourhood
Hot, like fire, everything females looking good, ain't it
My nigga Freddy agrees, we near fainted
(Not knowing that my face portrait was being painted)
(That very same day)
Anyways we chilling on the stoop shooting the breeze
Arguing about who was the illest MC
Verbally slapped my nigga, saying player it's Jay-Z
My moms cuts it short, sending me to the A&P;
Supplies for supper, quart of milk, loaf of bread and a stick of butter
You're damn right, I was making beats for A's(?) last night
And you know them vets make you work up an appetite
Split, jump in the Ac, it's deaded in the back
Won't start, pumping them tracks killed my battery
Mad at me, errrr, nigga hit the brakes
Dud I live for them Camelo and PF Cuttin' tapes
Can't forget what Clue got, Tony Touch and Doo Wop
Kid we can walk it's only five from my crib
And anyway my nigga Jay who got my Mastermind joint
Stay on the way to the grocery point
Be back soon momma say
(Not knowing that my face portrait was being painted)
(That very same day)
Walking, talking, Mrs. Johnson is on her lawn
Sunbathing so we honkin', errh
She the finest forty-something I seen in nine lives
Not even Mr. Johnson believe she forty-five
That's why I've made the pledge, no more chickenheads
Let me ride with you big girl, keeping me well feed
Here come the ice cream trucks, some kids playing double dutch
Looking ill but too young to touch
Then one child said, yo Big Sox when's the album due kid?
It's out stupid, I want to form a neighbourhood B
Like a Vietnam camp in '73, seperated from society
Hit the corner, there's my nigga Jay eyeing me
Motherfucker where my tape at? Lie to me!
And I'mma brake that, you let's take a walk
I'mma get it on my way back, we gotta talk
I heard one of them coons from the other side of the block
Was fucking with you over some bullshit
And pulled clips illigitly
{Yo he acted shifty because my crib's where his chick be hangin dude}
Ignore that shit G and keep that thang banging, in everyway
(Not knowing that my face portrait was being painted)
(That very same day)
We gets to the A, and P Jay's smoking so them niggas wait for me
I'm standing in the express line and what do I see?
Through the window, that same coon and his kinfolk
Everything turned slow motioned and muted
In my mind while I saw these niggas creep up from behind
I see one pull a nine, I scream TURN AROUND!
Too late, my nigga Jay's brain stained the ground
They kicked my nigga Freddy in the gut saying what
Now motherfucker, your man's nothing but a memory
And hits him with another sucker punch
Fuck the lunch, today I'm killing the bunch
I run outside with one nigga lie dead
The other bleedin' from the head
Grab the gat Jay had strapped on the inside of his leg
Yo Freddy just chill, I'm about to retaliate
Ill visions of murder, blowe
Fuck it now it's time to kill
Cock back, I'm prepared for action
Becoming one with Samuel L. Jackson
Turn the corner, I see them niggas running away
Hit the shortcut, I'm waiting at his crib
I'mma end this shit today
Look, here he comes now
I've never felt pressure like this before
Debating, whether I should blast on site
Or wait 'til the motherfucker puts the key in the door
Creep up on a nigga with God's hand
On the hair pintrigger, forgive me momma
but I'm going to be a little late with the groceries
I mean, you know diner's just going to have to wait
Turn around motherfucker!
[Saukrates]

And his whole family of course, you know what I mean
Just hit me with the green and I'll see what I can do
To Mikey Budafeu, he said "straight, arrange your crew"
But that's a no no, the pro only murders solo

Hood went by the name of Mikey Budafeuco didn't like me
Ms Jones was around back I took the front gates
Two punks on guard with uzis strapped to their waist
Strolled towards a door, but pizano was like
"Yo, who the fuck are you?" then I pulled out my knife
Slow, without a whipser or hint of hesitation
Made one quick slash and committed decapitation
Left the knife in the neck of the man on the left
And hoppedover the fence, took a short breath *whew*
It didn't take but a second to wait
The rotwilders went psycho, I took one knee and grabbed my rifle
And popped every last one of them sons of bitches
Motivated like a mother by the riches, but no glitches
Got to the door, which is the right button
Red, yellow, or blue, pushed the blue then all of a sudden
I heard footsteps of at least three men running sporting Mack 10s
Backflip under the porch and
Pulled out my piano wire and wrapped it tight
'Round my fists, made it quick with very little fight
Grabbed the fool on the right and silenced his ass
Nigga on the left, a strangle was his death
Motherfucker in the middle, play the monkey caught a cap
Sucking my barrel like a crack junkie
Got through the door and it was straight war
Camo-flague gear getting torn by my ammo
Run up the stairs, tripping over dead thugs
Put they family to shame for fucking with my nigga's drugs
Upon the second floor was faced with three doors, chose the first
A ninja master showing his thirst for my life
But little did he know I be trained
Akido's my middle name, put his ass to shame
Open the next door and out came Kareem
Jabbar, a barefoot size seventeen
I said "choose your style" and nigga said "ostrich"
Yeah sure nigga look more like he took one for hostage
Swinging his shits with no style at all
One swing of my sword left him four feet tall
Third door opend slowly only to show
Cleopatra getting fuck by Mikey Budafeuco
At gunpont the bitch turned straight to Heather Hunter
On a steroid, banging this fool like she wants to
He didn't know I was there so I moved around the front
Rubber gripping, pointed at his dome started tripping
And pleading with my ass as if it ain't my job
To eliminate the families of punks who rob
Pull your dick out nigga this ain't no freak show
Let 'em go 'cause he got touched by the professional
My flight was straight sex in the private jet
Heading home to collect my fitty dollar check
CHORUS [Saukrates]
They used to call me local suga daddy, all that stuff
I was a cold motherfucker every woman would trust
Smooth rhymes overtime from dusk 'til dusk
'Til one fine evening when I cold fucked up
[Saukrates] ("Michelle" on phone)
*** Phone Ringing ***
3 O'clock in the morning, who's calling me?
Hello (yo)
This fucking streets getting all the ac-action
Don't you give me what you can't give back
So I give you something that you tend to consider the world
Or it's cool that I'm your man
But hun, you were never my girl
Don't get me wrong, I mean
People come together, we could roll as a team
It all depends on the weather
Show you love, felt you melt when I threw you a hug
I guess my raps to you is like salt to a slug
Taking it, brain by brain it ain't all the same
Giving you pleasure like Purple Rain, analyze to the last measure
I'm taking you and your pleasure points
To the highest plateau, forever
Remember we first got together (yeah)
I took you home, now we long distance
I'm making you cum over the phone, phone
Your man thinks you tickle yourself the way you moan
With his ears to the bathroom door holding his dick
Like a dog holding his bone, call me Guilliver
Because my Earth is your skin, smooth travelling (you're crazy)
Like an '86 Caprice Classic, spin
{Breath smelling, like I'm amaretto mixed with melon}
I ain't telling nobody how you gets when you gets on the phone
Your toenails was looking psyched last time we performed (ha ha ha ha)
It was funny when you whispered rape into the mic with the audio on
videotape
What the fuck, you was illing in the back of the truck
(Baby I still got the picture)
Cool darling keep them stuck
Ay ay, what ever happened between you and Simone
'Cause I heard crazy shit about her
***call waiting beep***
Oh shit hold on
CHORUS
[Saukrates] ("Michelle" on phone)
This fucking streets getting all the ac-action

(Nigga you know who you talking to?)
Cool darling keep them stuck
Ay ay, what ever happened between you and Michelle
'Cause I heard crazy shit about her
(Yo motherfucker this is Michelle bitch)
(What the fuck) What!

(Clicking the fucking line and not realizing that you're talking to the same
fucking girl you were talking to before BITCH) ah man, ah shit
(What the fuck, you don't try to play me nigga)
Def Jam! uh..
Cap Hill yaow...Big Sauks
Gilla House
[Chorus]
This is something for the streets to rock to
Get your weight up, dedicated to all haters
That's right...This is something for the streets to rock to
Niggaz get your weight up, dedicated to all haters
[Verse 1]
Yoaw...And floss fakers
you in the presence of one of the greatest, Toronto be itching to place this
Sauks kissed your face, 92 give me ratings
Spins...like I sold my soul to Satan
You about to feel the don's creation
Pimping, never slipping on your radio station, ma
Shake your ass, you getting impatient, ma
My record's delayed, I feel your frustration, yeah
Saukrates, the hottest to trot since
College air-play was T.O.'s only option
When I was sixteen getting my first props and
The world was eagerly watching me, raising stocks man
The Circle's back
Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Ro Ro D, Jully Black
My man Solitaire, Y-Look, and Tara
Chase and Marvel will hit you with the ??? tomorrow
[Chorus]
Oh no! It's something for the streets to rock to
Nigga get your weight up, dedicated to all haters, uh
[Verse 2]
Face this, a Big Black Lincoln cruising
Through your hood with the lights low, bringing the bruising
We teamed up with IRS, and Brassmunk
Me and my dog Igal hit that nice for your trunk
Yes...Redman is my bredren and
Yes...You probably seen me with Methodman
It's Def Jam, what you thought was gon' happen
Got ten times worse when I started rapping
Just like when bullets get to clapping, it's hard to believe a
Brick wall hit your face, and scarred with amnesia
I'm Scarborough 'til I die, giving women the seizure
They see me on Kennedy Road rolling geeza
It's all to the good!
[Bridge]
Yes, I'm reppin' every hood (Let 'em know!)
Reagent Park, Jungle City throw your hands up
Rexdale, Jane & Finch serious as cancer, Toronto bringing the answer like
Pick a dayyyy, you can die in a million one wayyyyyys
From the action, Saukrates don't playyyyy
It's Saukrates with that Gilla House
Funky for your radio, touche!
[Chorus]
This is something for the streets to rock to
Niggaz get your weight up, dedicated to all haters
Yes! Capitol Hill! This is something for the streets to rock to
Niggaz get your weight up, dedicated to all haters
Is he, is he wild? Yes, he, yes, he is
Is he, is he wild? Yes, he, yes, he is
Is he, is he wild? Yes, he, yes, he is
Over here , let me tell it for a minute
Back at you now, yo
Dollar, dollar bill y'all
Are these the hardest shoes to fill y'all
Take it in, as far as money's concerned, I'mma break it in
Your golden glove too stiff player? Break it in
Never heard of surplus, the way we touch
Was like two, two gets this busy this much
Severed all my ties and burnt all my bridges
With the art of being broke, leaving y'all folks suspicious
Like who's that? Cool cat move back
Y'all focus on one's, I'll let twos stack
I'mma prove that, the funk run in my vains
And finance run in my brain, so they one in the same
My definition is success, keep 'em running from my reign
Acid, it's classic, stresses of the game
Moving past it, save it for drastic measures
Turn the common paper chaser seeking plastic pleasures
Smart card, my heart bogs to define pressure
The lowest I go is 50/50 split no lesser
Ride with me man, while we conquor this Earth
Squeezing pennies out this thing called rap for what it's worth
I'mma still get by
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
Wild bout will get ya, is this money or love
Yo, I'll keep my change over there, see it?
Never touch it, besides my maffy [unverified] he play the crutches
Ever since I got the know how, sugar
No change for ya, I'll throw this brain to ya
Before I feel some shame for ya
And breakdown 'fess up, feel some pain for ya
A mile in my shoes will prove this ain't strange to ya
I see my world through the eyes of envious
First question, can he bust? Fo' sure I can
Bet my motherfuckin' last penny know I can
Y'all niggaz know it the way y'all hold mic stands
Still do it for the love, my niggaz stay above
Sea level, feeling the highs like treble
Even if the rule is fight fair, embezel
And rock at navy blue six, no time to revel
In light of their riches, still hitting switches
Before you throw your criticism, wash your dishes
The black magic rap lady go me spittin' vicious
Swimming with sharks, hitting the charts
Mind your business, I got to go
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
Wild bout will get ya, is this money or love
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
Wild bout will get ya, is this money or love
Every now and then I'm looking at my pen
Thinking are we really friends
Or am I just fucked up something like pretend
Would I hold my honey tighter even if she had no ends
Or turn the bitch out and cop a 600 Benz, oh Lord
Shake her ass worldwide and throw the cheese to me
From ho to housewife, satisfy my needs
She'll do wonders for my hunger
While massaging my greed, ya heard me?
We bring every last John to his bloody knees
While she wax off, I get my wax on
Ya Hot 97 and your Power 106
Peep my property and throw Saukrates these chips, I got to go
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
Wild bout will get ya, is this money or love
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
Wild bout will get ya, is this money or love
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
Wild bout will get ya, is this money or love
The worst will bet ya, is this money or love
[Saukrates (Niggas ov S.I.N.)]
Fuck, fuck, fuck
Kill or be killed
Fucking with the heavy metal shit
Niggas can't deal with it
Light years ahead of shit
Ain't a nigga left on the roster got ya
Spitting up blood all over your microphone
Imposter, run for the hills Billy
'Cause I got you spitting that wack shit
Guzzle this vodka, relax kid, hell is where you leading to
I know you don't believe in hell, but hell believes in you
Sucker, next time you see me your lips are going to pucker
Kiss my stinking ass, pay back was a bitch
Now she's a bad motherfucker
Foot, fist and thought, three of the deadliest weapons
My soul's ice cold no hot stepping
Claiming you did a bid, dude kill the drama
The only beast belly you ever been in was your momma's
Comma, meaning a pause
Got ya one legged critics crawling on all fours
I mastered the world, this is my cue
Now pain has a face, kid allow me to show it to you
Now get up on the stage MC, if you will
But when it comes to the mic MC
Kill or be killed
I know there are many different versions of skill
But when it comes to the mic MC
Kill or be killed
You're the first little piggy to be slaughtered by the wolf's rhyme
But in this rhyme I am the third swine
I built a Brickhouse, it's all mine
I'm spitting acid kid, the burns got ya face down in ya casket kid
What! (kill or be killed)
(Nigga) mad man combat
(Kill or be killed) every man for himself
Success will not be measured by wealth
(Nigga, kill or be killed)
For who (nigga) do you bring (kill or be killed)
Can yo feel this (nigga)
Uh, the rap game got me canabialistic
For brain, it's a delicacy
My rhyme was written, you claim
It was irrelevant B, 'cause you was wack from the beginning
I had your head spinning
Now you're all upset 'cause your girlfriend's clinging
I mean to be rude, shooting first 'cause I got
Hella niggas out there who would eat my food dud
Including you dude
I swing at competition like a feind swing a mood
And shine with the veteran or rookie all-stars
I make love to Venus and world war with Mars
'Cause a rap czar's attack must be astronomical
A Castro grip on hip hop will be phenomenal
But for now, straighten your spine stand proud
'Cause Sauk's that nigga who be tapping at your brow
Soldier, my tolerance for disobedience is now over
Kid, let's see who's bolder, giving you the cold shoulder
Freeze, missed the first pitch now your grip's choked up
Bitch please, used to represent your 'hood, came gunning for me
Now you're at the purgatory gates of rhyme running from me
You got on the stage MC, you were real
But when it comes to the mic MC
Kill or be killed
You lost so the next lifetime you cut a deal
When it comes to the mic MC
Kill or be killed
[Saukrates]
Kalifornia
I first saw my baby on the Subway train
On my way home from a cue in White Plains
A pretty young thing, brown eyes and skin clean
With the poise of a queen though she was only 15
And I was 16, my mind was in a swirl
And by the looks of this girl, I was a peasant
Who did not have a chance or a prayer in the world
Just another nigga with them rasta curls
So she on the train did avoid me
Sick to her brain assumin' I would most likely be
A hustler, I said fuck it, she could never like me
Or much less love
I knew she was special, never all of the above
And then I closed my eyes to envision me and her as one
On a California beach in the sun
When I opened my eyes, yo, the train ride was done
I glanced her way, only to receive nothing in return
Knowing that one day I would earn
A chance with this woman trapped in a teen's body
I would play America, you could be John Gotti, I'm sayin...
I was trapped when I turned my head
CHORUS [Saukrates]
"You're My Lady" Kalifornia, Kalifornia
You remind me, You remind me
"You're My Lady" Kalifornia, Kalifonia
You remind me, You remind me
"You're my lady" Kalifornia, Kalifornia
You remind me, You remind me
"You're My Lady" Kalifornia, Kalifonia
You remind me, You remind me
[Saukrates]
A whole year went by without seeing her once
It seemed that ev-ery day was as long as a month
And now it seemed days eternally, it's she I want
But also to be an MC is what I wanted
To earn a dollar, every other girl seemed sour
The only thing I pictured in my mind was my with Kalifornia sunshine
I told my niggas in time, that girl would be mine
They called me crazy, assumin' that I was mad lazy
And lacked the monetary
Assets, plus my style was not sanitary
'Cause everybody knew she was fly with fitness
Being witness to her once a year was cool
Fuck Christmas
When I brought it up my niggas dismissed
Ignoring the mockery
I kept it locked in my mind tightly
Kalifornia you remind me
Yo, I didn't have my niggas behind me
But then, you were taken anyway
Forcing me to postpone plan A
Kali-forn-i-ay...
CHORUS
[Saukrates]
From a distance
Analyzed my prey with persistence
Comin' up with a system
It was straight, a phone call around eight
Conversate for a while to find up
The whole time it was a mutual attraction
And that news was old
I'm in bliss apparently she was watchin' me
And expected we to probably be
As coherent as the East Coast and West Coast be
A B-Boy's dream, the serene yin to my yang that was ragin'
I was amazed, this was all happenin' before a nigga got paid
And after the storm cleared from his parade
Now, there ain't such a thing as stress
She got my back, and with that
I know how it's blessed
A nigga who figured that the search wouldn't start
For another few years I would just stay apart
In love with the Triple X, Heiny and Hennessy
But now you remind me, Kalifornia memory...
CHORUS
Saukrates
[Chorus]
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
'Cause your hate can judge a fate
When guns blaze at nightime 'cause it's the right time for wrong
Hate runs deep in the hearts of many
Hate runs deep in the guts of all
'Cause your hate can judge a fate
'Cause niggas cuttin they lifelines for crime, but we still movin' on
[Saukrates]
Index fingers touch rewind as my aura proples your mindstate
Leaving behind fake visions
You're blind 'cause it's hard to find
Lyrics flood the black market more than rock can steal
My stock's hot, 'cause it's realer than real when caps peel
Pay rent for cement, mother's hearts gettin' bent
'Cause nights is trife
And it's chllin' like a villian executin' his killin' but there's no blood spillin'
And it's just as illin', prefer for head-fillin'
When you enter my jurasdicition of non-fiction
And lead-fillin' if you steppin' to mad niggas bitchin'
'Cause your gang is regretful when you're leadful
Bleedin' buckets of red from your head over duckets, fuck it
I'm living for next year, my dear
I say cheers and guzzle eleven beers to celebrate
The years of my life, I got mo' days than foes' days
Though some I hold days an optimistical state
For me, my grandmother will pray a tech spray my way
Losin' sleep over victims of the creep
The well runs dry as niggas wish to die
He said goodbye watchin' his honey cry
>From the other side of Ryker's glass eye
Sauk guards no fraud
Elequent speach will teach, though my hate runs deep, nigga
Word up yo, my hate runs deep
[Marvel]
Aiyo, my hate runs deep like still waters
The thought of all frustrations, bring forth inovations
I flip my riddle, wreck a direct hit
With some egotistical mystical type of shit to make that head split
I bring complex sexual intercourse to microphones
Hittin' the slang with the anger from my childhood
Runnin' around with dirty stains in dirty Haines
Peepin' flirty dames, shit never stay the same
I used to write 'cause it was appropriate
But now I feel like I gotta write for industries and associates
Some years back I found a pillow to scream into
I was fiendin' through crates of legendary greates
And seein' through the wack individuals who left residuals of bullshit lying
around
Fuckin' with niggas like me, 'cause now they're tryin' to be down
With my session, corrupt like projects in the recession
Consider it a blessing when Marvel hit the stage
Go home and write a page 'cause it's my daily routine
Vibrations are caught and then I see the unseen
When I creep, you know my shit is deep, word up
[Chorus]
[Saukrates]
Niggas gettin' stuck in the alleyways of schemes for bucks
Stuck in that and short cuts
But I chose to fight those urges that were foul
And write prose inspite of foes lurking the prowl
So I live to see my child smile
To increase my chance, fertilize my side of the family branch
As my flows enhance the relationship of romance
Women get stuck in the trance, brothers dig my style as I intoxicate
Their minds with consisce rhymes and give 'em the whole nine
My shit's natural, I'm prime
Generating inspirational thoughts
Bitches still get caught in the crossfire I duck
So the streets don't talk
No concern for the rebel as an average nigga got dissed
Pulled the trigger and missed
Now a casuality lies on the streets leakin'
Attitudes peakin', the levels settle when I'm speakin
Momma's hands was reachin'
Thought there was black on the backs of many
The day they buried the child who died for the worth of a penny
This topic strikes me
MC Saukrates says shit unlikely
To cease, black please come back, fittin' sterotypes exact
Chemicals react when I rap
As a youth I never thought life could be so tough
Givin' half a deck, you never realise that you're bluff earnin' half a check
The moonshine craters and drug deal parade
Receiving another wage, gettin' paid to get yourself a fade
Don't let cash burn fast no more
According to the world you're poor
[Saukrates: talking]
Word up, Saukrates in the house (talking mad shit in this piece)
About to turn it out, word up
Niggas of sin, figures of speach
'Bout to take over the whole world baby, word up
Yeah
"Father time ticks on to the early morning" You can't fuck with my style
Word up, yeah
Check me out
"Father time ticks on to the early morning"
[Saukrates]
Father time ticks on through the early morning breaks of dawn
I'm an emperor whose empire crushes the upon
I gave birth to a novel seen
Stealing the CREAM,
Whoose, blow out you're smoke screen
So, nigga freeze 'cause this MC in every degree
Can have a punk spilling head cheese
Saukrates, a felon in this rap game
Rebelling in rock stadiums like Van Halan
Or Bruce Springsteen, what is war good for my nigga
Even when cash rules, you still lose my nigga
Quoting the words of a shoddy
For who is, becomes who was and who could have been
Will never be somebody
All I want is some green in my jean
The Earth is mean so I plot mad fuckin' schemes
Wild for the night, fuck being polite, my nigga
You're drowning in shit creak without a fight
What, some more phsyc shit
You wanna battle, touch the mic and see how close you might get
I bust your mental click,
and send you back to your dimension of wackness
Dodge, block and end with a back flip
So then the beat becomes shank
Let the fat woman scream it ain't over 'til I finish my stank, nigga
They call me Father Time
They call me Father Time
CHORUS [Saukrates]
And if the time runs out
Then brother you will get turned out
And if the clock keeps ticking
Then nigga you will lose no doubt
If the time runs out
Then brother you will lose no doubt
And if the clock keeps ticking
Then nigga you will lose no doubt
If the time runs out
Then brother you will lose no doubt
And if the clock keeps ticking
Then nigga you will lose no doubt
[Saukrates]
Make money, money night and day
Follow in the footsteps so you can flow the Ack around the way
Everyday's a paid day
Crooks living the life of kings in the ghetto
Emeralds and fat diamond rings
Stay alive and strive
Let a nigga know that you're real
And quit playing Leonard part V
Recogn-ize my rhyme
A valentine days of deadly love powerful like daddy time
Keep checking you watch
Before I've tooken your home plate
I'm Jackie Robinson, you'd better dodge Brooklyn
My mack will never crack
So fuck pussy bunting
I got Mother Nature sucking my dick down to nothing
Ahhhh, an asset to the rhyming biz, my nigga
Never ask me what time it is
I kick a quiz, and go sphinx on your ass and ask you
If a nigga falls in the ghetto, will they harass you
And as you sit and think
A deadly venom starts to sink
through your fucking skin and melts your link to Charmin
Getting low on Tanqueray
Flip the script on an A&R;, ?????? him as R&A;
Promising, and comforting to a fool can work
Some other time, but word is bond
The smirk son, better be right by tomorrow night
Finito, capiche or I'll have my way like Carlito
CHORUS [Saukrates]
And if the time runs out
Then brother you will get turned out
And if the clock keeps ticking
Then nigga you will lose no doubt
If the time runs out
Then brother you will get turned out
And if the clock keeps ticking
Then nigga you will lose no doubt
If the time runs out
Then brother you will get turned out
And if the clock keeps ticking
[Saukrates]
Alright, east side
Big dogs, oh yeah
We coming through with this
You know what I'm saying
On that same vibe
Know what I'm saying, I mean
When you get to this mic, when you see this microphone
You got to see this microphone as you woman
Your plate of food, you know what I'm saying
Whether it's soul food, West Indian, whatever it may be
Be gone
Yo, uh, yo
Ay ay ay, leaving niggas with nothing to say-ay-ay
Go on fay-ay-ay, partners and compadre-ay-ays
Menu for today-ay-ay happens to be the emcee-ay-ay
With a slice of ham and a sunny side ay-ay-egg
I choose a new style to play-ay-ay
Me and James Ingram found more than a hundred way-ay-ays
Say say say what? Me and my niggas came to parlay-ay-ay
You couldn't fuck with us tomorrow or today-ay-ay
Lay back, keep it smooth Marvin Gaye-ay-way
Shit bangin harder than my ay-ay-A-K spray-ay-ay
Never cuse those who player hay-ay-ate
Eventually y'all will come around my way-ay-ay
Like I said nothing to say-ay-ay
You fake niggas stray way like the mind of a child born into K-K-K
Ain't a dollar sign out there to match my resume-ay-ay
But if you insist, I'll take a mill-ion today-ay-ay-ay-ay
Save the other ten for me-ay-ay
Stutter stutter rap, bringing it back to slay-ay-ay
You niggas who lack orginalitay-ay-ay
I'm bringing it back for y'all niggas who lack originalitay-ay-ay
Every copy you'll skip I'll sell from here to Pompei-ay-ay
My shit remains the bomb diggy-ay-ay
Remain ill to the saukratizzy way
I keep it bangin in your pun-punananay-nanay
CHORUS [Saukrates] (Niggas ov S.I.N.)
(Ay ay ay) remain the bomb diggy day ay baby
Keep it bangin in your pun-punan(ay ay ay)
When I die use my funk for your carry carry oh-oh-okay-ay-ay

(Ay ay ay) remain the bomb diggy day ay baby
Keep it bangin in your pun-punan(ay ay ay)
When I die use my funk for your carry carry oh-oh-okay-ay-ay
[Saukrates]
I was illing and cold chlling on the block and willing
To let y'all niggas get away with the trash you spilling
But, I ain't going to float and be your life perserver
Play the police, turn this art to murder, word up!
Would rather stay-ay unheard of to the common observer
Who claim they heard of, keep my fans forver learners
My plans forever hand to burner
Understand you the man, but I'm Truck Turner
Watching watching B-B-E-T on mute while I write the verse up
Try not to curse up, we the big dogs you the first pup
Who stuck spitting the illy, yo for really
A broke hustler making y'all willie style look silly wild
While I kill at will, or be killed by lyrical drill
Ain't a competitor that will better the skill for real
Now that you know the time do you feel
Me enough to put me on you fitty dollar bill?
Anyway-ay-ay, back to you pun-punananny-ay
We was conversating on how to make your punanny spray-ay-ay
Loving your body-ay-ay, my lifelong journey a pet for sexuality-ay-ay
For real, give it to me doll and leaving those fake niggas starving
For a bargain, my shit's never for free
I beg your pardon, leaving them niggas with nothing to say
Who keeps it banging in your sugar's pun-punannay
[Saukrates]
I'll break y'all silly cats with a billy bat
The intro... duction
Of this production
Coming to ya
I'll bang boards, open this life's door
Irregular folklore, most of y'all cats just hope for, my rotor
Running wild in this game, supposedly spoke for
I'm in your elevator starting at first floor
It gets better when you inhale me
So tell a friend, see my adrenaline sparks riots in Tienamen
Blaze streets of rugs of fire this rap shire
Take a toke, when I first spoke I provoke desire
In the heart of the concrete chart
You don't want none then don't start, jumpstart the art
Want a hit, hear a fraction, you ain't the last one
To get hooked on this hip hop drug thug
Now that's action
[CHORUS: Saukrates]
What do yo really know about this type of action
(Action!) Linebacker type e'ery night
(Action!) you can get it if the price is right
(Action!) tearing out a patch, fly through
[Saukrates]
AAHHHH!
No where to run, contagious rhythmn infects
System of young guns, who get paralyzed
By acapella size multiply growth rates for attempt to sterilize
My, moldy approaching in rhyme I'm a culture
Legal narcotic, who cross the border on a boat
>From Toronto to yo stere-ereo
Saukrates tear the flow everywhere he go, seen
I make it hard for niggas to come clean
Real deal, you need it inside your blood stream
Real deal, you want shit like this on your team
Real wax, is what you lack son, action!
[CHORUS]
[Saukrates]
Kill it, if ain't have half the spirit
Kill it, if you want that real shit to deal wit
Maneuver at a pace in rap race
Spitting pesticide lyrics sitting in first place
Competition play tall 'til they hit that brick wall
Jealous minority get pissed, and want to brawl
Make my shit for all
I never cut a deal, cut a jam for nigga's health
Responsible for what I am, clap hands black
And never erase the track
Negative attack strictly based on fact
Yo, realize my eyes target the same prize
As the uncommon wise lyricist on the rise
Now that's action ain't it?
Ignore metaphors of man, who's face painted with hip hop
Blood tainted in vein kid
Pass that, ministry put the broomstick to the ass crack of industry crooks
You move this never, initiated by the greatest
Which is why me and my circle always got to stay clever
You can't avoid the pressure of this mic agressor
Pardon me punk, now who's the lesser
Create a picture of mister metropolitian judge
Not the man who's labour happens to be focusing the drug spots
Of Toronto, shit has got to blow
Not only beucase I said so, burn with lyrical petro
Got you gassed, bookmark this page
To penetrate the skin like a hot switchblade
Yo, we'll see who's last laughing
When I'm packing such action Jackson
[CHORUS x2]
[Saukrates]
Record mode
"Action!!"
We taping?
Are we roling?
Yes sir
God damn
Who's the hip hop...
Who's the hip hop
That's action
Give it to me
I'm the hip hop drug, you want a hit give me a minute
I'm leaving your brain tinted, with scores of metaphor
Lyrical glim-fitted, bringing you sweet misery
Like sugarcane mixed with history
Kissing the sun could never blister me
Jesus, I said Jesus, will you relieve us?
A critic commentators who never believe us
Achieve trust, never gamble on expectation
Unless you in the future, got some kind of blood relation, ya dig
Potent rhyme moonshine, yo take a swig
Got a vegetarian dreaming of microwaving pig
Secular soul, the regular man's in a hurry
While I'm chilling in the studio eating iguan and curry
You're a pussy ass motherfucker (hell ya!)
I said you're puss ass motherfucker (hell ya!)
I get your flask, flipping my words backwards
Attach judge, either leaving the jury with the lackluster, impression
When I'm on trial for obsession
With the death of them MC's progression, learn your lesson
And search for the antibotic, I hook on cigarettes and coffee
Like you should get hooked on phonics
Before the thought of approach crosses your mind
I find your method of wackness, sending constant reminder
Your style's bullshit, your style's bullshit!
Want a key to be an MC, here's the full kit
CHORUS [Saukrates]
Now that's action (action! what) X4
[Saukrates]
Now that's act... this gonna take a minute, relax son
Play the government up in your ass to tax one
Unlawful MC, reach unlawful degree
Saukrates tear up, enemy by enemy gees
Something like a phenomenom, ghetto serial trauma don
Pain of acid rain, target the skin
I drop the bomb, fuck it
I'mma keep my jones irregular
So don't act surprised of Saukrates is checking ya
And even with your dogs protecting ya
Disgrace printed on your face
You had 'em saying 'dogs forgetting ya'
(Blah, blah, blah)
Representation's bizarre, my mind to my mouth
Shiny G watch(?) to a guitar
Never ghetto superstar, rather ghetto entrepeneurly czar
I'm twelve under, you're checking in at twelve over par
Toke a cigar and start travelling
I know it's potent son, I see your dreads unravelling
I have battled men who sculptured knowledge and culture
But poisonous dialects exposing cadavers to vultures
Excue me for being blunt while you get blunted
But in the words of Biggie 'hunt me or be hunted'
CHORUS
As mighty a man you've ever seen spitting amphetamine
To all those congested, my job raw never clean
A toast to the uncontested, murderer
I mark your mistake as soon as you're rested, I heard of ya
Unattended for your double breasted, bulletproof vest kid
Time is money well invested, burning your press kit
Ya HEARD me, chic-ow, bless it and pass it leftwards
Never protested, the living proof manifested
Winkled your face, you better press it, menage-a-trois
Put fist in thought, care to test it? If you dare I swear
Motionless, I throw a stare in the eyes of uncommon wise soldier
Rise like Nike, shares growing older, snowball effect to snow boulder
Show you love nigga, I'm iceberg with cold shoulder
No time for your manic, hazy rap attack partner
Future darker than black permanent black... marker
I part you from existence on solid ground
Only twelve inch but long distance, that's all I frown
Is we hell or is we heaven bound?
I bomb the target without a sound
Ain't nobody left around to hear it
Sipping fine wine and spirits on summer days
By the South Pacific, cheddar sound better when specific
Cheddar look better when explicit
Cheddar get better when statistics rise like mama biscuits
All 'n all, I'm having fun with gun
'Cause world gave me gun, detonate the shells with my tongue
I'm young plus I'm well hung
Threat to intellect, also got your prize possession sprung
I ride the fine line between yours and mine, check the design
Bre-X cats wondering how rhyme turn sublime
Peep my shines coming from behind
I'm high beaming in your rear view
Get out the left lane before I steer through
Ain't even trying to hear you
It was important 'til you thought I feared you
Naw, loosen your bra bitch
Never rest until I'm considered, the high exalted
Even then I'll still be bitter, sipping on malted
Through the speech, now it's time to walk it
This potent poet, who only spit it if he know it
Prefer to show it to the hardest of hip hop artist
If you a baby making baby, finish what you started and be a MAN
God damn, resort to plan B sucking on candy
For delicate procedure, no time for leisure
The fine line between yours and mine, freak the design
Bre-X cats wondering how rhyme turn sublime
Peep my shines coming from behind
I'm high beaming in your rear view, CRASH
I stop at nothing, my blood stream pumping nothing but utter destruction
Towards cats I describe in this rap production
Suffering from mal concussions, you head bangers catching repercussion
First impression had you lustin'
Now the name Saukrates ringing more than bells
Double X-L quote me well, bringing the future
Double X-L quite me well, bringing the future
[INTRO - Saukrates] (background "studio niggas")
My time to shine, now. I got the floor now
(Okay, alright. Go man)
Let me take conrol. A lot of niggas, a lot of niggas out here don't believe
that, you know, that what I say is worth you know, I guess my weight in
gold.
(I hear you, I hear you. Nah, hell no man, they can't do that man)
Even though I am who I am and I stay where I stay. you know it don't make
one motherfucking difference, 'cause I'mma bring it to ya the same way
another niggas gonna bring it to ya. I'm just as hungry as you. Even
though, you know what, say it after me, even though I am who I am.
(Even though I am what I am)
I am (I am)
Somebody (Somebody)
You know waht I'm saying, and that somebody gonna put a brick in ya ass.
Just check it out.
[Saukrates] (background "studio niggas")
Don't believe for a second, a man running ain't
A man gunning for you, true, indeed
Love is worth more that gold, but fairs equally sold
To counterparts and enemies, ya feel me?
Non-believers try another theory
But when you fail it's apparent that you didn't hear me, HA
You feel me? Take a second, fuck a first impression
We all realize longivity's a dangerous weapon
Wait a minute, are we forgetting we are MCs
Putting two to your cranium, often temps me
I'mma let it go, why? (can't touch us, can't touch us)
It don't get much straighter than this (can't touch us, can't touch us)
Love got me positive (can't touch us, can't touch us)
Ya mafucking right son (can't touch us, can't touch us)
Black man, black woman coming together
For love, life, uhh, pleasure
Guess again, when it's back to community chest again
Government cheese, starting to taste fresh again
Ain't it, nah for real ain't it, who cares if this shit's tainted
We die every second and got more where that came from
Right? Wrong, I ain't preaching
Just releasing information non-believers dare to use
Now this love become fair to you
What? Your screw face got me thinking I ain't clear to you
Let me guess, you must have question
First and foremost, who the fuck this nigga think he testing
Follow me now, this situation going down
I don't care, you will respect my name through love or fair
Niggas call me voice of reason, touch me, trust me
If I had a nickel for everytime I be lucky
If I didn't jump a tax bracket
Bullet proof jackets don't come with warentee covering heat I practice
Ya feel me? In particular I shine at the rhyme
Saukrates is the name, one more time if you forgot
I'mma let it go, why? (can't touch us, can't touch us)
It don't get much straighter than this (can't touch us, can't touch us)
'Cause love got me positive (can't touch us, can't touch us)
This idealistic speach go yo all on crutches
I am the new ambassador for rap lords
If I'm speaking out of turn, it's what you asked for
Question from me to you, what wouuld you rap for?
If you prefer the fast life running from task force
Hmm, think about, but never doubt it
I am a role model living with it never without it
My mental never getting clouded
But I admit in the beginning it was crowded
Huh, so now I spit in the ears of those who listen
Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Christian
An Atheist combine my system
Voltron with the izm coming with one wisdom
To never attack, react to those who pissed them
OFF, do what you ought but realize the cost
'Cause time is money, people and we are running short
I'm attempted to abort procedure
But if I leave, the minority picket be "Sauk's we need ya"
Black man to forbbiden diva
I'm transmitting on your AM/FM and shortwave receiver
Try to tune out, even the negative cool out
Eviction notice on the door of ignorance, MOVE OUT!
Before I let it go son (can't touch us, can't touch us)
It don't get much straighter than this (can't touch us, can't touch us)
'Cause love got me positive (can't touch us, can't touch us)
Image is nothing when I come busting
Love may become fear, why? (alright, alright, alright)
Because I am (I am)
Somebody (somebody)
(better get your motherfucking, better get your head right man)
CIRCLE (ZOO!)
(Better look in the mirror baby an tell me what the ugly thing you see back
there baby)
Capitol Hill
[Saukrates]
Yeah, yeah
Uh, yeah
Suzy, Suzy
She tried to do me
Like some kind of male flousie, groupie even
Kicked it to her on one hot summer evening
Fell for her spell, considered achievement
I couldn't believe when honey went wild for the money
Still had to recoup it, stupid
Ain't funny when these chicks peep your first shit
Even though you're broke (yo)
She gonna break a leg trying to get at your bread
Now that's fucked up right
Admit it, that's fucked up right (yo)
Used to crave gettin' with it
But a spoiled appetite don't cater
Find myself saying 'um, I'm busy hun, but get at me later'
Though probably never, I got pride in my endeavors
You hide your clever plot to cop this togetherness (yo)
I must admit you're very blessed
As Saukrates agrees to carry mess
This long, peep my rap song
CHORUS [?R&B; singer?] (Saukrates) *repeat 4X with minor variations*
Missed your chance, so why you chasing this
(Yeah, you should have checked for me)
[Saukrates]
Yo, sugar, you're losing control could ya
Let go of my shirt before I'm forced to put ya
Out of my doghouse for good
You said 'fine nigga, I'm leaving' be heathen I wish you would
Pardon me, I think you should
Turn 1-80 and go back three paces, let me bless the track
I react to y'all tricks like skin to poison ivy
Itching to get y'all gone before y'all start bitching
I ain't getting through, but listen
You the word for word definition of that thing we all call chicken
Cluck, maybe you'll understand me now
Yo, cluck, you ain't nothing but a stain hand me down
Go back to ya fake Willie sponsor
I ain't pissed this is just a half-assed dis
Don't do nothing but take it personal and hit the road
Reason why I change the tone of my humble abode
You didn't know
CHORUS *with minor variations*
[Saukrates]
I've seen that you're hurt when you see me leave with that other skirt
Maybe you should have checked for me
Telling you, your time to shine was when I WAS putting in the work
Maybe you should have checked for me
Now you got to stretch for me, I still roll bummy
Never changed honey, you getting played, Gin Rummy
I used to dream of giving you half, if you weren't satisfied
Shit? Don't trip I just inject the style
And get some new shit, why did you abuse this
Dark skin fin to win, now attempts are useless
I've moved on, seen a few thongs, nothing wrong
Don't deny, y'all the reason why I sing the fucking song
What's going on misses, look at all these dirty dishes
I can't stand dish pan hands, mind my business
And go about my waaay because we came to partaaay
We'll talk another day because we came to partake, uh
CHORUS X2 *with minor variations*
Baby baby, baby
Next time we get down yo
As mighty a man you've ever seen spitting amphetamine
To all those congested, my job raw never clean
A toast to the uncontested, murderer
I mark your mistake as soon as you're rested, I heard of ya
Unattended for your double breasted, bulletproof vest kid
Time is money well invested, burning your press kit
Ya HEARD me, chic-ow, bless it and pass it leftwards
Never protested, the living proof manifested
Winkled your face, you better press it, menage-a-trois
Put fist in thought, care to test it? If you dare I swear
Motionless, I throw a stare in the eyes of uncommon wise soldier

You want to poise for the portrait, here let me shoot you
*The Ultimate MC Rush"
(Rock)
Alcatraz
Some call him Rock, yo
One shot'll make ya jump like House of Pain or Kriss Kross
Playing hop scotch
I got the ?marks? baby
Even when I was small I still get crazy hard like a 380
And I hate these fakin MC's
Please
Flee before your temperature drop more degrees
Than a five percenter
Dressed in a young ass jacket
In the winter boy
Don't end up in a casket for this rap shit.
(Ruck)
Behold the pale horse
I see death in your future
When thoughts connect
Its best to step before I shoot ya
Back in the days I knew Ruck would rock
Couldn't wait that long so I jacked Michael J. Fox
Since the death of the DeLorean
I been best performing in
Coliseums, and stadiums
Holdin in ?more? palladiums
Ain't no funny vibe from this 25 year old
Ultimate MC test me if ya bold
(Chorus)
The ultimate MC rush (X4)
(Saukrates)
Demonstrate on street ruckus with my nouns and verbs
Hated the real mahfuckers with the thirst for words
Meditate with me dude
Alone in my own zone
Come and get high
My shits homegrown
Bionic, hydroponics
I rap
Till I'm blue like Sonic
Delivery's monotonic
But my style rocks the phonic
I hate to say it
But you're weak and your styles prosaic
If rhyming was fighting I'd be Tyson
And all y'all niggas better flee
Cause right now you're running with Spinks
Cause you're weak son
I take my time to teach one
Of the meek ones, who reach one
Illamatic rap addict
On some death of Caesar dramatics
Its never fluke yo, so don't panic
You could go to any other planet
In any weather you could run
But can't run forever
So whatever.
Chorus X4
(Singing)
You'll admit
Y'all niggas can't compete
With my manuscript
(Saukrates)
I'm the muthafuckin pimp the microphone is my bi-i-itch
And you the john about to make a nigga ri-i-ich
Now get with this funk arithmetic
If you outside make a swi-i-itch
And step inside the aby-y-ys
Nigga come ill, don't tri-i-ip
Say it again
You the john about to make this nigga ri-i-ich
Man, my finger puppet hard to resi-i-ist
Find your niche, nigga hold that
My trigger finger starts to i-i-itch
(Singing)
Digging your ditch
(Saukrates)
I'm on the mound with butane fireball
Better duck the wild pi-i-itch
I'm sick with it
You would never fly
You an ostri-i-ich
Be on your back like a rash
I'm the i-i-ish
Bankers bank is closed
No more scrilla for the ni-i-i
?Wi-i-ife or his kids?
Ha, ha
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Ha, ha
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Yo, yo, I makes green backs of mean tracks
It seems that life ain't nuttin' but phat cars
And dreams that stack two stories high
I wouldn't wanna die,
Po broke and lonely
No joke I'm only
A hop jump and skip from 30
Gotta get my hands dirty
If I wanna see cash that's gon last
I hit you wit a blast, straight from the heart
Yo, where's the math
Gotta go for broke without a cast
Ain't shit changed
But nickels and dimes to G notes
We floats in flush rides and crush prides
And jack fakers, crack makers never left the neighborhood
Cash rules everything except me
That's what cream mean
It don't rule the mind
On valentines day nigga, you still couldn't find
The heart to try to step to fuck wit, mess wit, your desperate
Stop bull shittin' nigga and let's get
All this dough like Pillsbury and I still bury
Wack rappers in 96
Kid I feel very confident, it's my year too
And my tongue will tear you
Keep rollin' in dough
And son I hear you
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
(Make money)
The slogan of ghetto dwellers in such
(Take money)
The phrase of an organized bank rush
Sittin' on top of the dome like Al Capone
Interceptin' drug carriers and taking they home
Popularity can make you a buck
But nigga that shit is luck
Solidify your cash, you're the biggest guy
Got token out, the bitch caught a disease
Called the plague Saukrates
Now who's got the g's
Desperado, get away cars hittin' the throttle
Pinchin' diamonds the size of the lotto
Any kind of hesitation 25 ta life you get
Come out, kickin' Carlito 'cuz you can't resist
In your world, wife and kids become the minority
'Cause yens, franks, marks and dollars are priority
On stage frontin' as if the mic makes all your cream
But father time paid off the sandman and saw your dream
Nigga quit it, you in it for the cash admit it
'Cuz I did it and never gave a fuck for rap critics
Realize Corleone style, I know some niggas desperate
They'd sell they mother for a seven digit figure, don't you get it
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Yo Sauk, yo Ace, what's up wit money over there
Whippin' on the street like he just don't care
He's flamboyant see annoying
Ignant nigga figure he gonna be rollin' all his life
Being the big bad bull motherfucker, what!
Sellin' drugs, you ain't nuttin' but a sucka, uh
Can't free mold your mind mad mushy, intelligents all fuzzy
Get shot street nigga forgot who was he
Hit it to put things in perspective
Do right, don't defy laws of life and be deceased or arrested
Mastermind designed you had through a science giver
Mad man dreams of a major alliance
Your world revolved around gold, cars and diamonds
Sluts and scars, draggin' behind bars still
The wake up call, face off the jail bully
Takin' your manhood as thought you had a pussy
Come home see your man, now the lies arise
Tellin' your man you was fightin' niggas twice your size
Your conscious is feelin' it, sippin' a brew
Two ways you got screwed by the system and a stiff one
Mental swollen and your manhood stolen
Wrecked and got dug out for the price of rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Money makes the world go 'round
So watch a nigga
CHORUS [Saukrates]
Little piece of sumpin'
"Play" "Orginial rap" "Play" Little piece of sumpin'
"Play" "Hardcore in hip-hop"
[Saukrates]
Amazed dudes to wack crews
Lay it down
Kids could never walk a mile in my shoes
Shorties clockin' me
Always be coming in the two
Niggas from the north
I'm bringing you tracks and good news
My debut was real to the blind industry minds
Who never had the time
Now kids press rewind to the top
But legally I gotta show love
Call me A, B and C, the answers D
All of the above
I attack the microphone like Jack Ripper
Real for stacks, leaving kids no headroom like Max
Try to react, but you were never calm
And never, could kick a verse
When worse come to worse I'm better
Shine like genuine rhine and black patented leather
On half naked honeys who forgot about the weather
Fuck an exhibition, and warm up scrimmage
Shoot more words that Macho Man spit gism in the village
CHORUS
[Common Sense]
Stimulated by a tree and drama
I advanced on a branch of respect and honor
A patient of the Ill state
Sittin' in trauma, never been one to side with hama (yeah)
For Armageddon, I'm getting armed plus armor
The comma of matter on the rise like a tip in the southside diner
Your preference to the book of life that likes to pack humid
To it I react by staying strapped with the mack and courage
Parallel to a carrousel of murders
I prefer to make a life than take a life
Stopped at a street called Wise and made a right
Sort of how I play my broads, just how I play the mic
First I cuff it, then finger fuck it
Check it something rugged, other niggas be reluctant
To touch it after me
Passively they strike, never matching me
Rapidly, don't placidly
I fabricate the verbal tapestry
Tap the keg of your conscious
Navigate niggas like Farrhakan with a compass
CHORUS
[Saukrates]
Kids setting their watches 5 minutes fast to stay
On top of time, but I'm already 10 minutes away
Nigga play what you want to play, he say she say
But Saukrates got the buttas in T dot O dot today
[Common]
Slowly but surely I pour the lyric into the glass of your mind
My rhyming will be the diamond that will cut through
Lines say but you to do, you don't know what to
Got wisdom like a tooth
Incidentally I get buck too
Didn't get my jest, so I just had to do it
My mic or your mic, come on no congruent
Seen broads in brew to me, be jubilee
On my neck be hot jewelry
My old man be schooling me
For sho' I rock good, cats claim this hood and that hood
Black man, your hood is the universe
On this Earth, you were first through the worse
My crew could hearse
Used to go up stairs and we went through the purse
I don't cures around juniors
Spread live like rumors
Niggas loved my tape, but how many were consumers?
[Saukrates]
Shout out to honeys working them hourgalss hips
Stay soprano, reading surano
Dramatic episodes, yo Common
Let me play with niggas brains like clay kits
When I rock stage hits
Skip the rumors and lies
So you're under the stairs
When I drop my hip-hop, you'll be some Maytag repairmen
And flip flop the fake, who thought the scored
And half-assed niggas sending you back to drawing boards
To deliver the real shit, at least we'll spit on your mic
I'm versatile like a plate of read grits
Captiol Hill, yeah
(Chorus)
Ain't nobody with the skills we got
Putting shit together just to form another plot
Better be on your P's and Q's
Here's a message from me to you, bloow
Ain't nobody with the skills we got
Always putting shit together just to form another plot
Better be on your P's and Q's
Here's a message from me to you, bloow
Verse 1:
I break you off a little something
There ain't no reason to be frontin'
He sat with a cold blunt in hand, other nothing
Pick up my pen, begin
To let my mind bend again
Rush with thoughts, bust, discuss how I'm finishing
Cleaning niggas off, you just a pig who need a bigger trough
While I chill on the land of the lore
With your raps sound soft
Beats never coming off
How you feel? I know you thought you were reeeaall
Losing you skill, what's the deal?
Peeling caps on you record
Interludes on some y'all ain't even seen real steal
Imagine if you will kid, getting ill on a record
Making dough, but it's your own shit still
Now's time to play big Will nigga
After you learn how to play the field, rocking the act vigor
Trigger in you clutches
Remembering the time you thought of doing niggas
Spoke about the dutches
New style every month from Tony Touches
You capitalize on franchise type of shit
Generic in your eyes
No name brand the same
But can't even do it like the orginal Fame
Get that ass out the game
Nigga, what!
(Chorus)
Honey! Where do you think you're going with my money?
Broke you off last week, Yo!
Girl listen funny, you thinking you're runnin'
On some different type shit
But your position at present could get your wig split
Baby, what!
I know we cool like that because, we known each other for years
And all the time we was on the same level
But you turned up the treble
Not me I became a hip-hop MC
On the other hand, babee
You think of profiling as an acuvision (?)
Last year was a different situation
Hanging out with the niggas, when you were in need to kick back
Smoking BDs, mixing hash with weed
Denim and army fatigues
You were never afraid to put degrees on a nigga who slapped up ya seat
Now you're chilling with some type Johnny G type of cat
Put you up in the crib
Now you think you're all that
Fly DKNY, Versace panties on your ass
But, your son's looking like crass and tripping up in class
Correct that bullshit, fast!
And quit coming around my niggas begging for cash
That's you boyfriend's task
I heard he 'tacked you up really bad the other day
'Cause I can hear your seed screaming, running my way
Time to talk to that fool, cause my sons don't play
Ah, honey, next time you change, don't stray
You hear me?
(Chorus)
Ain't nobody, skills we got,
Ain't nobody, Saukrates y'all
Better be on your P's and Q's
Intro
[saukrates] a ha, capital hill
{xzibit} yeah, sit back and smoke a fat one. yeah, pronto. look from los
Angeles to toronto.
[saukrates] I heard that big sox got it going on. I heard that nigga
Xzibit got it going on.
{xzibit} spittin' at 'em. yeah, like a automatic philly.
[saukrates]
Yo, revolutionary, evolutionary
Bulldozer, leave y'all with troops to bury
Clean sweep if ya smell fear in these mean streets
It's instinct, life's a bitch and she's far from cheap
I got love for my dogs hustling for defeats
Put it down for this paper, increase the real
Come wit it, run wit it, fuck wit it
Big sauk to shock your mind and your spirits
Taste these lyrics while I spit truth on tape
Whether two inch, a dat, or d-a-t-a
I impregnate wax, so get mine regardless
Of anybody's set, I'm starving the artist
Who's next to me? the x to z
Together we bomb mcs with text debris
Leaving y'all hard pressed to breath
Other words, nigga's show love and chicks spit the ecstasy
How real is that?
Chorus [saukrates] {xzibit}
I keep it moving and moving, keep it going, going like that y'all
{like that y'all}, like that
{i keep it moving and moving, keep it going, going like that y'all}
Like that y'all
[xzibit]
See I put the beated nigga, ask him if he's had enough
Tan khakis, t-shirt, wife beater tatted up
Looking for props
How you explain to nigga drinking beer to the bottom that they can't come up
Mother fucker say what?
Stack loot so much, reach out and touch you probably die from the paper cuts
I see you lazy fucks, sceming on the speed demon
Keep on dreaming, give me any type of reason
To stop your breathing, yeah it' me against the world
'cause the eyes deceiving, anybody want to bet me
Saukrates, bouncing wide like a jet ski
Meet a bitch who ain't hard stick like wayne gretzky
Look I try to live where the lolos and the sets be
I still roll dolo, how a normal nigga test me
I let you have it in the face trying to waste me
Your homies can't face me 'cause they scared for their own safety
Chorus [xzibit] {saukrates} repeat 2x
How real is that?
{feel the rush} yeah, feel it
{feel the adrenaline *echoed*}
Feel the rush, feel the adrenaline
[saukrates]
Yo, take that, take that, nigga stay back
With that fake rap, break that 'fore cats react
To your shallow ass shit, go practice
Saukrates never making wack shit, trust me son
If I'm eating, my dogs eating
Use experience for teaching without preaching
Each, and everyday I be thinking about my future
Preparing for the new world we ain't used to
Handle that, with supreme caution
Peep this mental distortion
Hitting you with grips of funk by the portions
Consulting with killers could lead to abortion
Face down in a closed coffin, what!
Chorus x2
[outro: xzibit]
This is how we do mad dawg. ha ha ha ha. yeah, pronto from here to
Yo, I'm roaming one man deep
Combin' the streets and beat boxin'
Like the field niggas
Singin' hymns pickin' cotton
Wit massive watts and tickle
Eardrums wit pleasure
Every single measure apply
Exact amount of pressure
A chemical reaction happen
What was fastened
By the spit, rashing for its catalytic fashion
Showin' its passion
For harassin' microphones
Pass it to the left and left
My nigga bless it
My God, bless my very last breath
To be Allah uahkbar
For narcotic cops to mark me
Inside of the shark bar
Spiritual sparks and lyrical darts
Adapt the visual
One nation under
This rap shit indivisible
Never miserable anymore
Pharaoh, the critically acclaimed rap professional
Keepin' computer digital
By hark the best speed
This expert who could keep niggas alert
In a school for narcolepsy
Let 'em know the time it takes
(Yes sir)
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
(Come on)
Don't ever underestimate
Most niggas come fake but we cuttin' the red tape
How many man it take, the quality time to renovate
Through rhyme form, solely for poetic penetration
Subliminal in this world, it minimal ventilation
The task master dome to gas mask from a clinic
Walking the earth, avoiding the global epidemic
I limit the sun's UV rays wit a visor
While ya'll pass the plague
Lickin' blunts wit your saliva
We mainline a rhyme in your mind like tranquilizers
The king has arrived, ya'll
Before I get ya at your bar mitzvah
Leavin' you mentally circumcised
Nah I did it, fuckin' you so hard you never forget it
Even Ellen and Martina Navatirola's comin' over
'Cuz they tryin' to get wit it
Crack the back of all critics in a New York minute
You ain't seein' me, my dome is tinted
Return the dues that you never earned
Niggas know your whole style is
Let 'em know the time it takes
(Yes sir)
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
Don't ever underestimate
We spit it, you bit the bait
Of these top notch stimulating lyrics you can't escape
Let 'em know the time it takes
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
Don't ever underestimate
Most niggas come fake but we cuttin' the red tape
Now, so break down
Lyrical mastery, has to be
Otherwise I'm callin you Majesty
Bitch maker, switch on me, tragedy
These lyrics got 'em all mad at we are us
As we discuss who the best could be
Fuck it, I pop glock and block glock shots
In top spots from top notch cops to bust from a crotch
Positioning, my conditioning allows me
To withstand the rain like two sets of all weather Michelin's, uh uh
Uh, uh, hittin' the whole rhyme, splittin' and fold
My diction make friction, switchin' diamonds from coal
Heavyweight lyric, man I be rippin' jabols
I be hittin' it every minute though there's seconds to go
Pharaoh's soliciting crack at black baby christening
Glisten in rap, topical shit, on some Mission Impossible shit
Manyacal, whenever the diabolic spit
Words they never undeniable
Let 'em know the time it takes
(Yes sir)
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
Don't ever underestimate
We spit it, you bit the bait
Of these top notch stimulating lyrics you can't escape
Let 'em know the time it takes
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
Don't ever underestimate
Most niggas come fake but we cuttin' the red tape
Let 'em know the time it takes
(Yes sir)
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
Don't ever underestimate
We spit it, you bit the bait
Of these top notch stimulating lyrics you can't escape
Let 'em know the time it takes
For every rhyme to shine, innovate
Don't ever underestimate
One day, you came to me
Freed me from misery
I touched the music in you
You started to feel so happy
Makes me jump up and down
You know my heart gets ...
Each time that meet
I'm just so happy I met you
Happy
I am feeling so happy
I'm gonna go happy
You make me so happy
Can't you see I'm happy now
One day, you said to me
Happy is where I wanna be
One plus one makes it two
That equals me and you
Each time we make love
Until the day I met you
All of my dreams came true
I am so happy I met you
Happy
I'm feeling so happy
I'm gonna go happy
I'm gonna be happy
Can't you see I'm happy now
I-KNOW-I-WAN-T-TO-BE-HA-PPY-ONE-DAY-WI-TH-YOU-NOW-I-WAN-T-TO-BE-HA-PPY-WI-TH-YOU-MY-BA-BY---MY-BABY---MY-BABY-MY-BABY-MY-BABY-MY-BABY
Happy
I'm gonna be happy
I'm gonna be happy
Can't you see I'm happy now
Um dia, você veio até a mim
Me livrou da miséria
Eu toquei a musica em você
Você comecou a se sentir tão feliz
Me fez pular pra cima e pra baixo
Você sabe como meu coração fica...
Toda vez que nos encontramos
Eu apenas estou tão feliz que conheci você
Feliz
Eu estou me sentindo tão feliz
Eu vou ficar feliz
Você me deixa tão feliz
Você pode ver? Estou muito feliz agora
Um dia, você me disse
Feliz é onde eu quero estar
Um mais um é igual a dois
E igual a você e eu
Toda vez que fazemos amor
Desde o dia que conheci você
Todos meus sonhos se realizaram
Eu estou muito feliz que te conheci
Feliz
Eu estou me sentindo muito feliz
Eu ficarei muito feliz
Eu ficarei muito feliz
Feliz

Eu ficarei feliz

Você pode ver? Eu estou muito feliz agora
Break free from this feeling in me
If you just give a little all you gotta do is trust me
Break free from this feeling in me
If you just give a little all you gotta do is trust me
Attached at the hip I need some room to breathe
These emotions are getting the best of me
I can finally see it was you all along
And looking back now I realize where I went wrong
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe one day, you will see
You're the reason we're done
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe you'll say
I'm the reason we're done
It's because of you I'll never be alright
Because of you I'm losing sleep at night
I've tried, I've tried, I'm losing my mind
Because of you I still find it hard to move on
Oh my god you're killing me
Now drop the act you pity queen
I'll keep you here just shut your mouth
Just let me have my way with you
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe one day, you will see
You're the reason we're done
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe you'll say
I'm the reason we're done
Even if I had a heart I wouldn't waste it on you
Lets see this as it really is
A part of me you'll always have
But we don't really care at all
I hate this thing inside of me
That keeps you far away from me
But deep down this is who we are
Lets see this as it really is
A part of me you'll always have
But we don't really care at all
I hate this thing inside of me
That keeps you far away from me
But deep down this is who we are
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe one day, you will see
You're the reason we're done
Everyone knows, everyone knows
You replace the pain with vanity
Maybe one day, maybe you'll say
Who said love should be this hard
Who said hearts should break apart?
I know, maybe I should mend this
Pull out the glue, maybe I can fix this
I'd approve of this change
If the change hadn't meant you changed how you felt about me
It's a treacherous thing, when the one that you love is finding a new love
You're running away from things that matter more than you know
You're chasing a love that could never love you as much as I do
My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I look back all I see is your face, my darling
My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I speak my words just say, "don't go" my darling
There's some things that I'm left with
That make me believe this is hard
Like the bed that we slept in
It's filled with the scent of our love
I can still hear your laughter bounce off the walls of our home
Late at night when you're dreaming, are you dreaming of me?
You're running away from things that matter more than you know
You're chasing a love that could never love you as much as I do
My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
Every time I look back all I see is your face, my darling
My eyes have seen these streets, I've walked this road
We are the broken the haunted the bleeding
We are the children who's ears that you're feeding
We built this house with our blood sweat and tears
It's a home for the lonely, so bring us your fears
You're not as hopeless as you think
You mean everything
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
You're not as hopeless as you think (the bond of unity)
Let music take away the pain
You lack the heart the soul the dream
You lack the courage and everything between
Give up the act your tyranny won't get you in
Before you judge me you better think again
If we stand together, we can burn this motherfucker down
You're not as hopeless as you think
You mean everything
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
You're not as hopeless as you think (the bond of unity)
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
This world has taken so much from me but
I refuse to let it keep me down I'll always be free
These are my brothers, we have each other
And that's all I need
You're not as hopeless as you think
You mean everything
Let music take away the pain
To be your infinite escape
You're not as hopeless as you think (the bond of unity)
Let music take away the pain
Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
These days will only end in shame
Did you ever believe we'd be this way?
Tearing down the structures that we made
I think we need to make a change
You can twist and turn me inside out
But you'll never stretch what I'm about
And everything you let slip
Is pushing forward to a repeat exit
Take back what we've done, we can start it all over
Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Looks like we've been here before
We're throwing punches, but we're missing all the marks
I say we need to take a second to analyze what we've been missing
Every time you cry
I try to hide it but a piece of me dies
Every time we try
We always end up at each others throats
I can't escape who I am
Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Don't try to hide all your demons inside
Let me see who you really are
Don't pretend everything's alright
We knew we were dead from the start
I don't expect you to understand
It's time to take my life in my own hands
I finally realize I need a fresh start
We were always meant to fall apart
We were always meant to fall apart
Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Every time you cry
This heart is yours (It will only beat for you)
My body too (My life for you)
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
Oh my love, can you make any sense of this?
It's certain that I exist only to hold you so close
And if you break my bones, I won't let go
Tell me what you want, I'll do anything
Just to keep you in my arms
Leave me, be happy
But it tears my heart apart
This heart is yours (It will only beat for you)
My body too (My life for you)
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
You'll be my honey baby
And I'll be your little machine
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
Only you, you're what I choose
And I can be alone in this case
But I don't mind, no I don't mind
I'm your machine, I'll work for you
If you'll be my queen, I'll do what you need me to
Me and you will burn the whole world
This love massacre (so fuck all those other girls)
This heart is yours (It will only beat for you)
My body too (My life for you)
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
You'll be my honey baby
And I'll be your little machine
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
How can you just fucking go?
I put my faith in you
This heart is yours
My body too
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
This heart is yours (It will only beat for you)
My body too (My life for you)
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
You'll be my honey baby
And I'll be your little machine
You're the only one I'll be kissin'
You're the only one I'll be missin'
Seems you're a mess, I confess
I'm happy to see this
It must be hard looking at yourself in the mirror
When her reflection is no longer there
I know it's hard to swallow like the pills that follow
When you see her standing next to me,
A better man than you'll ever be
Nothing looks right in your life
You were always meant to find broken dreams
So it seems maybe you should hide from this life
Don't you fight, you know you wont win this time
Just give up for the rest of us
I thought we were rid of you
And you can bet your ass I'm gonna see this through
I'm gonna haunt you
The sad thing is you think you've won
You can't run (fuck you) you'll pay for what you've done
You can't hide (fuck you) the wars already won
Nothing looks right in your life
You were always meant to find broken dreams
So it seems maybe you should hide from this life
Don't you fight, you know you wont win this time
Just give up for the rest of us
They say living well is a mans best revenge
But to a man who lives for nothing,
I say to you, you'll feel my wrath
A coward sneaks to death, while the brave live on
Nothing looks right in your life
You were always meant to find broken dreams
So it seems maybe you should hide from this life
Don't you fight, you know you wont win this time
We're the abandoned kids, we escape this life
Through over counter prescriptions, and under counted addictions
We're begging for attention, but nobody listens
So ill slit my wrists and take these pills
To make them feel the way I feel
Take me away to a place that I know
A place I hide from the monster inside
Someone please provide me with a reason to live on
Hold out your hands, take it all in
This is now your mistake, so carry the burden
If only you could see
The toll this has taken on me
This is who I am, it's not who I wanted to be
Take me away to a place that I know
Someone please provide me with a reason to live on
Hold out your hands, take it all in
This is now your mistake, so carry the burden
Maybe if you would have loved me you'd still have me
Hold out your hands, take it all in
This is now your mistake, so carry the burden
I feel so alone
On these vacant roads
My heart can only break so many times
Before I lose my faith in all mankind
These scars simply serve to remind me
Why I still pretend everything is all right
This world is dark but you are not alone
It's never too late for a fresh start, a new home
Nothing is set in stone
Nothing is set in stone
I hear these voices in my head
Over and over and over again
They keep telling me
You're better off dead
I'm giving up, I'm giving up on you
This world is dark but you are not alone
It's never too late for a fresh start, a new home
Nothing is set in stone
Nothing is set in stone
We are, we are the unforgiving
We are, we are the hopeless in love
Now that I need you, you're nowhere around
Everyone that I have loved is gone
Everyone that I have loved is gone
This world is dark but you are not alone
It's never too late for a fresh start, a new home
Nothing is set in stone
That's how we survive
Nothing is set in stone
That's how we survive
Nothing is set in stone
That's how we survive
Nothing is set in stone
That's how we survive
That's how we survive
With the music by my side got no worries on my mind, take
me to a place of a higher kind. Higher than what the day
normally brings. Yeah yeah yeah, music is the drug that I
surely need. Yeah yeah yeah, give me satisfaction I
surely need. Take me up to a higher place. This music
that we love supports me when things are a mess. Take me
up to a higher place. Sing along with me for this source
of happiness. Lift me up. Lift me up to a higher place.
There's no doubt in my mind, I'll never leave it behind,
One two three four! You know you know, there's corn
flakes and candles standing here forever like this.
Morning, come quickly, so I can eat them and start a new
day forever like this. Cause now I'm lying, still it
seems forever, not falling into dreams no. This only
happens when I come sleep with you, come sleep with you.
The bed's too small with two inside, come sleep with you.
And now I'm falling into thoughts instead of falling into
dreams no. Hello hello, wake up, look at the colour of
the sun and start a new day. The night's just keeping us
from living a bright and brand new day. I wish I could
see the daylight coming, so all comes back to life.
Tomorrow I'll be happy, go home and see my family, I'm
coming back to life, yeah! And now I'm falling into
thoughts instead of falling into dreams no. This only
happens when I come sleep with you. Then I'm falling into
thoughts instead of falling into dreams no. This only
happens when I come sleep with you, come sleep with you.
It's 3am, I count my first sheep and you're way ahead of
The window is wide open, breathing air of night from a
dark blue sky. And a woman sings of what used to be, with
a voice so sad, that it makes me cry. I can't control
myself when I hear her sing: 'Midnight, not a sound from
the pavement.' Havana please, I missed you since we're
apart. You are forever in my heart. You shot me right
through the heart. And now I feel so broken about how all
these days go by with the blink of an eye. And a shooting
star shot through my heart with a voice so true: 'Hey
boy, why feel so blue?' 'Well, it's just my favorite
colour. I've got one wish for you: memory, I wish I'd
lose my memory.' Nostalgia belongs to Havana, I want you.
Like a star out of the blue, you spoke to me with a voice
so true: 'The future's bright for you, little boy. Your
life is here for you to enjoy. And let me tell you this
tonight, everything's gonna be alright.' Havana please
don't leave me in this lonely world. Take me to a place
where I feel no hurt. Havana please, I missed you since
we're apart. You are forever in my heart. Like a shooting
Sun, sea and sand and a blue september. Everything's
wide, calm and peaceful. Walking down the shore with our
feet in the water. It gave me a magical feeling. Lovely
island nearby, has won over my heart. The sun on my face
and you by my side, we're all alone, nothing can touch us
now. Trying to believe that it could be like this
forever, but I don't think so. How long will it take to
forget it? How long will it take for the magic to
disappear, pushed away by October-obligations? Going over
to a place, waiting for a thing to change. Going over to
a place in my mind. It's nearby, yet so far away from all
our daily worries, that disappear, pushed away by high
Another day, just like any other day, and you know as
good as me that we can't go on this way. Another try,
just like any other time, but you know as good as me:
that's no way to pass our time, so ... HEY! Should we
stay, should we go? I really can't SAY! But one thing's
for sure : we can't go on this way. Another day goes by,
but not a moment I don't wonder why did we ever get this
far. Cause after all this time we have spent together and
tough times we got through, it is damn hard to say
goodbye to you. How can I possibly love another girl,
yeah? This seems so unreal and never to happen in my
life. And you agree that it might be necessary. But what
are we doing now, we don't feel completely down. Cause
after all this time we have spent together and tough
times we got through, and after all the things we have
done together my heart belongs to you. And after all this
time we have spent together and tough times we got
through, it is damn hard to say goodbye to you. Another
day, just like any other day, and you know as good as me
that we can't go on this way. But I know that I still
love you girl, I'll never close my doors. I know I'm
still in love with you, everytime I see that face of
yours. So we try again and I think you're oh so fine, but
you know as good as me : that's no way to pass our time.
Here I am, and now fuck off and die. No one can get to
me. When I'm alone, just leave me high. Wanna flip things
over, have guts to start all over. I could be fakin' a
smile, I could try and hold a lie, for a while, for a
while. I'll show you a place where you can be yourself.
For a while, I'll show you a place where you can be
yourself. Get a new life, make changes. We can't just
burn the pages (down). Give me something to believe in.
Save me a piece of sunshine, coming through my clouded
sky. If only I could move away to a far off place called
paradise, I would be floating on ice. For a while, for a
while, I'll count the stars in your eyes and make you
smile. And then I know that I'll be fine, for a while,
only for a while. You show me a place where I can be
You say you're happy now but you're looking sad again.
Please tell me everything about you and all your friends.
I must be missing out a lot of you. You must be reaching
out to something new. I see you sitting on my bed, you
were laughing all the time. Sing me a song and I'll sing
along and we'll pretend there's nothing wrong. Nothing
has changed, I'll be the same my dear, hope you'll never
have to hear this song and sing these words along. And I
still think about our night. You were amazing me, the way
you talked to me, it was so free. We followed our hearts
and not our minds, it was so free. I hear the sound of
your guitar through our carton room wall. Your words came
out like a waterfall. Now I know what goes through your
mind. Are you still happy like last night? Sing me a song
and I'll sing along and we'll pretend there's nothing
wrong. Nothing has changed, I'll be the same my dear,
hope you'll never have to Nothing has changed, I'll be
the same my dear, hope you'll never have to hear this
song and sing these words along. Do you ever think about
Smile!
Friends!
Watching you!
At the party, at the bus stop, at the bar,
You're lookin' at women because your score is under par.
When you find her, it doesn't mean anything.
You wonder why your life is so boring.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
You would gladly waste it just to save face.
Her desire is your wish, and without it you are lost;
Integrity is fragile, but you ignored the cost.
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
One night stand, car keys in hand,
You've fullfilled your gender's sexual demand.
Are you feeling insecure and empty,
When you're rushing to report it to your peers!
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
You would gladly waste it just to save face.
Her desire is your wish, your integrity is lost;
Integrity is fragile, but you ignored the cost.
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
SSmiling when your friends are watching you
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smiling when your friends are watching
Smile!
Friends!
A moment ago I felt the love, cause we agreed and we had
fun. Two seconds later I feel hate, 'cause I was hurt by
something you said. And now it's only a day ago, since I
have seen your face and I still feel like I miss your
embrace, but you left me confused without a trace. Please
give me something I can smash into a thousand pieces. The
anger is boiling up in me. HEY HEY, do you feel the same
as me? You think I do not care anymore. You say it has
become a bore. Too scared to face what's really wrong:
that our love is no longer strong. I am running from my
own fears, and you're not to blame cause you're always
here. It's me that's hurting you lately. This situation's
killing me, yeah! You don't know what is on my mind. You
don't know what is in my head. You don't know what is on
my mind. You must be confused 'cause I can't decide what
is on my mind. Please give me something I can smash into
