Fertility, health, strength, guidance, love
No matter which part you come from
No matter who you think you are
You could be a bad man from uptown
Or a wicked youth from Bermuda, no matter
When it comes to your mother
You're soft like over ripe plantain
Those who disrespect their mothers
Disrespect themselves
You can tell your brethren to fuck off
But you can't tell your mother
You love her, boy you're soft
Come now, how you so
How you sky larkin', so how you sleepin'
What happened to you? For you don't find
People spend enough time to make sure
You grow the right way, you'll find yourself in a jail cell
I'm a rude boy from Toronto
Only girls I deal with, fucking with this hip hop
Yes you gots to feel it, I'm rapping nigga
Are you niggas rapping still
Hey yo, guys that can't get her they be calling her a bitch
True her buzz is like drizzy after so far g
One, yes she's the uno, only my universe
And only her I would follow her to Pluto
Let me say this first
My girl is the epidemic of a woman
Turned sexually inquisitive bids
To questions answered in the thighs
And we good, so far,
Especially the head
When I'm with her I wanna have early retirement
To live in bed, you see
Driving round with your scent still on my finger tips
Half my face jealous cause the kiss is on my bottom lip
You trace stella, 3 stars plus 2
I'm a love of your style girl I'm thinking of you
A tornado flew around my room before you came
Excuse the mess it made, it usually doesn't rain in
Southern California, much like Arizona
My eyes don't she'd tears, but, boy, they pour
When I'm thinkin' 'bout you
(Ooh, no, no, no)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
(You know, know, know)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
No, I don't like you, I just thought you were cool enough to kick it
Got a beach house I could sell you in Idaho
Since you think I don't love you, I just thought you were cute
That's why I kiss you, got a fighter jet, I don't get fly it, though
I'm lyin' down thinkin' 'bout you
(Ooh, no, no, no)
I been thinkin' 'bout you
(You know, know, know)
I been thinkin' 'bout you
Do you think about me still?
Do ya, do ya?
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Yes, of course
I remember, how could I forget?
How you feel
And though you were my first time
A new feel
It won't ever get old, not in my soul
Not in my spirit, keep it alive
We'll go down this road
'Til it turns from color to black and white
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
'Cause I been thinkin' 'bout forever (Oooh, oooh)
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)

Se that own that see me black chase is the chain stupid
Yeah Lisa likes my ride and all
Then there's
Sheri who I'd fly across
Just to
Get away from Cindy-Ross
We would meet up in Jamaica
Underneath the stars
Tamika likes 'em quiet and soft
So I'd
Tell her 'bout the puppy I lost
Yeah she would
Try to help me get over the dog
We were freakin' every weekend
Till the break of dawn
But baby
Soon or later
I knew I would change my tune
I've spent so long acting wrong
I didn't know how to be true
But sooner or later
I would find somebody who
Could show me then what I know now
I should have known it would have been you
Sooner or later
I remember we would drive around
Me and all the boys in town
There was no talk of straying or swaying from the playing
There was no talk of settling down
Now they keep calling on me
Saying brother where you gone
So I just
Say I'm with my baby now
That I'm leaving all the scheming
They should try it out yeah
Soon or later
I knew I would change my tune
I've spent so long acting wrong
I didn't know how to be true
But sooner or later
I would find somebody who
Could show me then what I know now
I should have known it would have been you
Sooner or later
Soon or later
I knew I would change my tune

shes of in a Haste (Laughs that's funny but what bout

2 x Hook:
I'm black till I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work I'm fly till I'm die
Getting paper bout a dime I'm puttin in work
I'm steady steady reppin for my city ya ya
Steady steady reppin for my city ya ya
Steady steady reppin for my city ya ya
Yaga from the city a hit maker
We born cold so imagine what the hit makers
From a city where is forbidden to breath fakers
Neh shawty teen still yelling beat akin
The realest niggas never get their story told
I'm ghost right in the industry money oh
You ain't made enough fifty see and money foe
It's in my wallet this never lasts my area cold
I only beef with the butch the hand of...
The only secrets that I have is across them the borders
You are my true religion looking for my true religion
Got over everything, reporting from hells kitchen
2 x Hook:
I'm black till I die, I'm young and I'm fly
Putting in work I'm fly till I'm die
Getting paper bout a dime I'm puttin in work
I'm steady steady reppin for my city ya ya
Steady steady reppin for my city ya ya
Steady steady reppin for my city ya ya
Yaga, I'm from the city of broken dreams
So we get it eyes on open from the Asia team
Hard to imagine where I'm from has a million fans
The dynamic of cities breathing a hundred kings
The true measure of this man is not measured than metric
Guess that's or who I had sex with
I'm six foot foe, with no entrance and free throw
Welcome to my city
They still glass and people
My city alive better than that international
Let me tell you it's better than that
This for the kids from the ghetto
Who never settle in other... we take the earth hello
I'm tryin to be better fellow, heading to the medal rebel
Living on a higher level life, trouble, this trouble...
For this struggle... tryin to make my money double far,
Make it out the holla break
[2 x Hook:]
Y'all, the media is say when a thing is going wrong it can't be our city
... 365... he just don't talk about it
From Jane strip to cran charts, one love
From T dot to Nigeria we the same blood,
Anywhere on the planet you look like me
They may patch it down the accent to produce I'd
Without the criminals we wouldn't really need police
So it's understandable why we do not get no piece
You're every cop and a threat and every brother aint' dealing
You're every rapper ain't lying but most say what's appealing
I got a stick to a code... people who died
Every soldier who fought so now I'm in civil rights
If every day is my Christmas and every night is like EVE
Every day I'ma celebrate yeah I was good to be me
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yes I see how you are smiling in my face you know what I'm saying
Settin' fire to my back, I see that you know what I mean
I love it though, I love it, you know what I'm saying
My enemies make me stronger, hahahahahahaha
Well I'm on a mission
Van Gogh your ass, so y'all listen
Nigga, there ain't no fire if we don't start the ignition
Throw some bullets at your feet
Show you what ya missing, listen I hope for black love without wishing
I murder the track and go neck to neck without kissing
I'm ducking from the wack flows, calling it dis-missing
Big money in the hook, cats is loot fishing
Nigga's adding ones like they was mathematicians
Four plus y'all equals more without addition, listen
Cooking up plans in a da kitchen
Too many chefs leads to nuff cats bitching
Love in a we face behin' we back yuh teet' kissin
Whether you're garbage or not is not my decision
Before you check it deep, you have to make the incision
Nuff cats are slated for great things
But if yuh nuh lick shot for love
Well den murda we bring
Murdaaaaaaah...
CHORUS [Saukrates & Kardinal]
We see you crab rappers everyday
Praying for a shot to be lead astray
We buss back with the love attack
And add fuel to the fire, fire, fire, fire
We see you crab rappers everyday
Praying for a shot to be lead astray
We buss back with the love attack
And add fuel to the fire, fire
Come and see me nigga!
[Solitair]
I was charged for murdering the track without touching
Filling the track with hot lead without bussin'
No discussion nigga talk without fussing
But F---, I ain't answering another damn question
It's just a matter of telecommunication
Freaking the three bands of frequencies, frequently
I frequently gather frequent flyer miles
I be freaking the same chick that you're admiring
The same G, ask them niggas around me
The P maybe free, but my tracks cost money
I might talk funny, but this nigga is no dummy
Now cough up my dough before I have to call Sunny
Switch switchblades, to switch hand grenades
I switch when a bitch nigga misses my payday
y'all are concurring, when I'm running in succession
Quick to flow whenever the mic is in session
CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
For crying out loud, you get hard knock detention
Your outside is smiling, but what's your intention
F a judge and stil get an honourable mention
Tell ya peace and love without both my fists clenching
Raps with real flows real re-invention
Chat on wicked tracks, add new dimensions
New cliques, gang bang causing old tensions
Niggas in the streets with swords like street fencing
For these record labels nuff rap cats is Benson
From these old street cats, I took a lesson
Never like groupie hoes hanging in my session
Rolling over weak cats in one succession
Who's up next, we got nuff headz guessing
Brothers feel the heat without Smith or Wesson
Wrote the blue prints nigga, why you testing
The dot when it's obviously us who's best and shit
[Kardinal Offishall]
Offishall (right)
Nappy heads true to the words aristocrate (true)
Brother function with an automatic slang
Yang makes the ying, we slang rhyme banging off the walls
Like Brooklyn Smalls, yo we Biggie
Yo must trust bust, though it's my time to bust too
Hustle you I must, 'cause your crew might get dust too
Frustration, 'cause I can't make a mil
Without Jully burst, follow a my burst, try burst
Makes my niggas crackhurst, and dispersed in the realm
My timing is perfect like synchronized rewinding
Of my lining (style), moving (style)
Like keys we the freshest, believe it or not like Ripley's
Yo, them G's ain't really heard about my (flow)
'Cause they too hardcore to (know)
That I am the flow (pro), my bro pocket stretch like Armstrong
Yo my niggas got it going on, it's right where I belong
On top, never will we be stuck at number ten
Number one is where start and number one is where we end up
And up friend up, niggas fronting jewels (lets do this)
'cause my crew will bring the real ting
CHORUS X2 [Kardinal Offishall & Afrolistic]
We always look like we have a million
We gets down yo, regardless of what we feeling
(Say what?)
Real niggas make moves by the hundreds
We straight up or you blunted, yo this is how we run kid
** pager goes off **
[KO] yo babes, what's up?
[Female] Nothing much, what's up with you?
[KO] Yo you ever hear this nigga named Afrolistics?
[Female] No, who's that?
[KO] Yo check this shit out, aight!
[Afrolistics]
I consume the hydro weed, for hyper speed
Afro and Kardinal, two officials making the new breed
Circle productive, poetic structure
Always intent to blow you out the frame
We tied you down, I contain
Paranormal and F.O.S. are out for the platinum, that be framed
We scoped out the terrain, to find niggas that was slain
Serving 25 to lifers, for they weren't sufficient writers
I be pulling all nighters, to increase my penmanship abilities
With no trace of leakage, my CPU
Fully programmed, while yours suffers from (glitches)
You love to chat, no you getting popped from the hinges
You entered the game you couldn't handle, now you shitting
'Cause you got disqualified from your mission
Now listen, Aftrolistic only operates on precision
Hibernates only with those that have ambition
Never ass kissing, unless it is my wifey
Rocking beats with ease, like Saukrates
It's all about the connect of the two families
The scholars with the entities collecting the cheese
Equal ways, 3-60 degrees
Our anthem is, vandalous marvelous
Pass the trees, it's all about the will
And this is how we chill, with our players on Capitol Hill
CHORUS X2
[KO] Yeah
[A] Yeah yeah
[KO] Kardinal Offishall

Yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yo, yeow, yeah huh, wake up
Are we awake, are we wake, are we wake
Take it low, low low low low
Take it low take it low, take it low
Yo, I said yo, I said yo, I said yo, yeah
Kardinal is walkin', yo, just how we be talking, yo
Fakes get they face palmed and thrown to the floor
Shout out to the ghetto, girl's in they stilettos
With their tongue rings, doing tricks, sippin' on Amaretto
Fire pon a fosse-man a bad man truss me
Not a homophobic, just a man who loves pss
Come here let me see you and throw a little game
You can either fall in love with the hood or with the name
Explicit lyricism, yo, 'nuff narcissism
Is invading hip-hop, replacing escapism
My vision is an ism, yo, smoke it till you're high
Unattainable goals blank to your third eye, yo
Maneuvering high skies to low tone flows
Straight to the five mic sight is where the flow goes
Killing 'em with knowledge, the mind is the key
Just sign on the dotted line and check who you be
You, you, me, me, powerful, so powerful
We're fighting for this goal and we ain't gonna stop
We ain't never gonna stop y'all
I said you, you, me, me, is wonderful, so wonderful
We'll be makin' babies till our army's on top
Till we standing on the top y'all
The funk is in the air, yo, you might suffocate
If you don't strap on your mack on and watch I articulate
We don't shake hands with cops, yo, we don't participate
Light up an informer and make his mouth menstruate
Black is for Black, they can't understand that
So they call it reverse racism and try to pin it back
But if we ain't for us, who for us? Them? Nah
If it was up to them they would have us ridin' in the back of the bus
In handcuffs and other shackles, yo, check Mr. Bush
Plant cocaine on me and call it operation push
Our Prime Minister is actually second in command
Bending over to the star spangled-politically strangled
So we have to move, yo, through the underground
Encode the funk mode and claim back the sound
'Cause what's mine is gonna stay mine, word to line for line
Off the top and all that, peace to magnificent rap
You, you, me, me, powerful, so powerful
We're fighting for this goal and we ain't gonna stop
We ain't never gonna stop y'all
I said you, you, me, me, is wonderful, so wonderful
We'll be makin' babies till our army's on top
Till we standing on the top y'all
Look out, cameras are watching you, they watching you from birth
And they be killing us softly by biologically attacking us first
Don't think that you're immune
'Cause your acquired system is soon to be consumed
Flesh eating disorder, false claims of water
I rip through the lies so I can bare sons and daughters, and soldiers
Build my camp up like an army over Giza, running suicide missions
You can't disarm me
You, you, me, me, powerful, so powerful
We're fighting for this goal and we ain't gonna stop
We ain't never gonna stop y'all
I said you, you, me, me, is wonderful, so wonderful
We'll be makin' babies till our army's on top
Till we standing on the top y'all
Making babies till our army's on top
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Wake up, take it low, low low low low low
Dear Lord, I really, I don't even know how to ax this
You know, I can't, this this this is not an act
I must, from the bottom of my heart,
Ask forgiveness for my sins but you know what
I ask that you give me the strength to be able to reach
All of those peoples, on every street corner, every block, every ghetto
All of those people, that we sometimes think are not worthy of
Blessings, they're worthy to me
And I think that as a man given the blessings you have given me
The opportunity to speak, that I need to speak the language
Of those people, and I need to reach them
You know, because there's are a lot of good people on this earth
But there still some people that need a talking to
And I ask you to give me the strength to reach out to those people
You know because I believe everybody is worthy of your blessings
So I ask that you give, you give me
My family, my crew, F.O.S, the circle
All of us, all the babies that are being born
You give us the strength to be able to deal with it how you see fit
Because you give all of us the power
As much as some people might not believe it
You give us the strength to reach out and touch a lot people
So Lord I ask you give me the strength
To go out in the world and start the fire
You know, start your fire, you understand I'm saying
Lord, just please be with me, be with me
And give me the strength and let me do this
Come to you as humble man, Kardinal Offishall
It was a cool and lonely
Offishall style that coerced her to smile
Chalk another to the file
Quest for breasts, my intent to impress the mistress
So cess broke the ice like Gretzky
I told she give me your signiture or number
Slumber could follow if I check you tomorrow
Who, ate, simply went to my date's
Now my belles apparel, why spoil the king's night
Eat chicken at 3 and the skin at 4 o'clock
Who, again I reach the girl's door
Just call me FT cause her birthday suit is sore
Hit the floor in a hearts swift motion
Lotion the skin and like caress all me
In the cup, arm in the cup
Hittin that spot that's g
You know I do your head sheet
That the hit was a nap and the biggest ever sold
Took 5 minutes for the cannon to explode
She said do you love me and I said no
The she slapped my face I grabbed her and said ho
Do that again and the story gets told
To stick it in was nice, but yo I'll get more
Cause Offishall's out for mine and then some
I hit some and leave some then on wid da show
word up
CHORUS (2x)
One for the money and two is for my clothes
And three is for the calls, pause
And four is for the trick and stuff
Wanna bang with us and the game for the dough
Yo on wid da show
I knew this girl named Susan
Fly skin from the islands
And Trini who always had a dress that's cut mini
And tempt to get praise and so the skin lay low
And only playin hostess when niggas got dough
One day I see her rollin with these niggas that I knew
Walkin through the downtown about a half past 2
So I warn my niggas word up she livin foul
She just smiled and said 'Yo nigs yo know my style'
Who, eh was that John young
He took her to the palace his moms was not home
She undressed herself to reveal the unresistable
Coca-cola body while he bobbin like motorola
38-32-46 my my my
Only problem was she wouldn't spread her thighs
Said I need a hundred, my nigga said well
Just suck up on my jewels until my headpiece swell
Yo she said do you love me and he said no
This queen got dressed he grabbed her and said ho
Do what you do but no (?) will flow
Nice try, on the real niggas only make dough
Yo on wid da show
CHORUS (2x)
Now to my uptown rollers, go and get yours
If your sippin over proof inside a Lex Coupe
Shotgun, whats up with them niggas that passed
Real gs make peace and get pieces that last (on the real)
On the real I ain't about bustin steel
Praise the almighty I won't sway not even slightly
Give thanks for my life and for my boys
And for my blood
For all them true heads that make noise
While niggas pose hard we do the Kardinal dance
While you're still leavin a jam with your hands inside your pants
Kardinal Offishall will do it for you broke
Yo, cause one's for the money and we on wid da show
You didn't think so
INTRO [Korry Deez]
E'rebody ah talk 'bout sound killing
When they dun know, we are original sound killer
Fassyhole you know we
Anytime we start dance-dance a fi lock
Girl follow back a we
We have e'rething pon cock
Can't chant to we
We start dance from 19-o-long
Pick a only firefighter a we collect
A dub plate we have
Anytime we drop Kardinal, IRS and Wio
A blood clot big tune dat
[Kardinal Offishall]
Oh me oh me oh my (what)
Them a try run Mr. Kardi-ni, flavours you can't deny (what)
'Cause them Circle cats rhyme so fly
Them tracks stay do or die and (what) as (what)
When them write a murder song before a cats can't turn around
I jump and beg for they live (what)
Lick off a style, me-a-fi put dem all back
Rap from T-dot to the Bronx and Bricks and come back
(Will you wake me up?)
[Wio-K]
If an emcee step outta line,I feel them affi get cut up
But up, lick up, fist up, sound get brek up
Beat up and kick up until they boy start hiccup
(Girlfriend what's your name?)
How ya look, so sweet with your horse legs acting like you're strange
It's full time, now you come off on dat range
My name's Wio, bareback rhyming in the plains
[Allistair]
Blessin' this, effortless, mess with this, eff with this
If you think you got a chance to dance with your devilish messages
Stressing this can only lead to battery
You rattle me, request to battle me I take as flattery
I see ya, grip your bible,I'm the lyrically homicidal idol
Who's liable to take your title with a single recital, it's vital
You respect the steez, I get vexed with ease
Don't make me ask you to respect me please
CHORUS [Jully Black & BlackKat?]
It's an old time, ol' time killing
We a deal with, run and get your money clip
For another day in another way
De man dem, nuh take the ray ray
We are a murderahs
Killas...murder
[BlackKat]
Yo, 1-8-7
Cold blood I meant to do it ruthless
Knew it was murder since Da Grassroots produced it
Now we got some ax-murderers upon the track
Burning murder onto wax
So you can witness the attack, it's Black... Kat
The nigga who writes to burn flavour
So hype the Source should give us 5 mics and 2 turntables
We spitting this with beats so ridiculous
And rhyme style limitless, let's see if they can get with this
[Kardinal Offishall]
Wio - you're crazy, your tough talk don't amaze me
Imaginary gats busting just don't faze me
Lick a shot, wave your flag, gunfinga in the air
Headstone on your 12" says Mr. Kardinal and the Monolith was there
From '94 to now, the beats run wild in the East
Leaving 'nuff man decease, I got two middle fingers that's made for 5-0
Babylon fi get dust and let my people dem go
CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
Call me a sound (killa), gut (filla), rhyme (spilla)
Don't date vanilla, hip hop guerilla
Mind (chilla), don't drink Miller Lite
Night thrilla, spite might fill ya
Bite and you invite with a recite to kill ya
[Wio -K]
The tox licker, shot licker
Girls flock quicker, since my crop got bigger
Get yanked like a glock trigger, just to make the plot thicker
Girls got thicker, I'm run up in the spot quicker
(Don't let them watch me so)
I'm the nigga your son really wants to chill with and know
You must think it's me that make that nigga act so
Vexed 'cause your church friends gossip on the low
(Wio - let me say)
Now for the people who don't know what's gwaning
They sleeping on the whole city, stretching in your heart
Not knowing that T-dot's about to shake your ass out your dreams
So (wake up) before you end up in a pine box
Seen
CHORUS
You better run go and get your money clip
[Jully Black]
Run go get your money clip
Run go get your money clip

INTRO [Kardinal Offishall] {Saukrates}
Yo Sauks
{Yo what man, what up?}
Last night man, last night I was out by this club, yo
This man talking to me outside telling me how much he axe inside my ear
Trying to stress the F.O.S. brothers nawhatImean?
Know what I mean, talking about a whole bunch of de nuttin'
Yo check this out man
Yo check out what this go
Check this out like this
[Kardinal Offishall]
Niggas is it what you do?
Or what I'm thinking that I can accomplish?
Either way I'mma dog your shit, because you ain't a hit
Brother up there talking loud, you're rocking a crowd ain't nothing
Freestyling and so what in the world are you think you going to do
With that wack crew, your whole damn setup
F.O.S. should get wet up 'cause those niggas don't let up
Word up, they rock every show and they think they large
Y'all niggas y'all talk to every hoe and think that how it go
Well this is how it is, I'mma teach y'all nigs the biz
While you claim to know the street when there's a barrel to your cheek
Y'all niggas crying like you're sweeter than a box full of Pot of Gold chocolates
Let me really tell you how it should be told
Y'all niggas couldn't last up in the real world
With real G's get shot and lyrics don't mean shit to a cop
When y'all niggas do dat, for real dat one cap peel type shit
The Nonce brothers might quit
But until that point in time, keep going with your rhyme
And I'm come to every show and make sure I drop dimes
And yell aloud freestyle, in attempt to make you plop
'Cause my shit don't stop until y'all niggas drop
Word up
CHORUS X2 [Kardinal Offishall] {Female R&B;}
You know it ain't right (right) {you know it ain't right]
Haters try to copy but they can't (right right)
{The mysteries in the night}
The mysteries in the night got me flipping, evil players got me dipping
Circle maintain outta sight (that's right)
[Kardinal Offishall] {Saukrates}
Yo Sauks, {what up?}
Niggas think we can't kick this shit for real
But I'mma let 'em know, quite how the show go
Up inside the T-dot, oh yes the flex is genuine
Ten individuals with the style imperial
And we might pull ya gal, word up that's the Offishall style
No doubt we in this to win this, I wrote the book and drink the Guinness
And we made a stack waiting for y'all niggas to finish
Your bitching, switching up your testimony every time
Talking other shit 'cause he couldn't fuck with the line
First we couldn't rap, now we can't get strapped
Brother I don't get down like that, but Super G got my back
And Y-Look got the headline, your girl got my waistline
In time you will see the F.O.S. niggys
Down straight from excellence, your pestilence
Keeps pushing us to the top, yo brother it don't stop
It don't stop y'all
CHORUS x2
[Kardinal Offishall]
Just because you keep calling my name, momma that you know
The Kardinal Mr. Lu doesn't run from a crew
Ask my man Choclair
If you test we'll tear your section in half to divide the aftermath
The Circle rocks hard to maintain our title
While you bustin' caps for nothing, we get paid for our recital
Bitch, do not ever mess with the squad, I told u it don't stop 'til they kill hip-hop
And even then we'll still rock for the heads that still with it
And even if it's one, we'll get the job done
Player, better wave your hands in the air
So your crew can get dropped, for real it don't stop
We'll still rock for the heads that still with it
And even if it's one we'll get the job done
Player, better wave your hands in the air
So your crew can get dropped, for real it don't stop
It don't stop y'all
CHORUS X3
OUTRO [Kardinal Offishall] {Female R&B;}

CHORUS [L.J.] {Kardinal Offishall}
It's been a long time waiting, for a good time around me
Sweet baby
{Bring it in, bring it in like so, yeah}
It's been a long time waiting, for a good time around me
Sweet baby
[Kardinal Offishall]
After the sunlight my niggas shines on like a diamond
Cool in my mind, finding time to chill
Ill thoughts corrupt my senses
Caressing my eye lenses, mending my personals
My nigga's eyes are black and easy to see through (true)
Into the soul, all attempts have been made to link up with that cool strut
But they get brushed to the side (right, right)
My nigga's with me for the long ride
Over and over, explosions like a supernova
Some say a superhoe but never go there
My nigga is for me and that's all she be, for real
For fake never, ever disrespect my lifeline
My nigga makes my water wine, while I worship the waist line
Waste time sometimes, could you do we have to rep
'Cause you can not beat no face with your crew (true)
Something about my nigga that make me act ill
I can't figure it out, but I ain't trying
Denying what's true to me, you don't even matter see (see)
'Cause the cat rules everything around me (word)
Sometime I disrespect my crew, but you they know how we do
'Cause we all bounced the ball out the blue
In fact it's wack sometimes, never will I dis my girl, how you figure
She my nigga
In fact it's wack sometimes, but never will I dis my girl
How you figure, yeah she my nigga
Word, life
CHORUS
[L.J.]
It's like this when I bust the swiftness off of the top
I need a nigga to pickup the feelings when I feel like dropping
Stopping all the stress I got, press up against my chest
Forget about the rest of the worries
'Cause the world is just a mess
I need a nigga I can kick it with at anytime whatever whenever
I provide the time as long as we're together
Forever I will watch your back, as long as you watch mine
With you, everything is fine because I regained my peace of mind
And hate those other fraud niggas walking around like thy much bigger than
Eye & I, you couldn't even try to be my nigga
Forget that nigga, that nigga's sits on someone elses
Forget the other that only bothers with the riches
Can't sweat the next and the rest there's only God and me as bitches
Immature, know only as snitches talking your business
My nigga is my partner, my shorty, my lady
The one I'm chilling with when everybody else is crazy
And against me, the very last person to understand me
The outlet to release the stress, and fixations held within me
My girl's had the most the rest the nigga's them couldn't test my nigga
'Cause life she is God almighty, too extract for you to figure
CHORUS X2
[Kardinal Offishall] (L.J.)
(Baby darling)
It's like that and a (baby)
And like that and aâ¦
You don't stop and aâ¦
And it goes like so
It goes like uh
Like this, hit me like that
(All I want)
(All I need)
(All I want)
(All I need)
I’m from a city where the go getters get that go quick
And get that..both money and the chicks
Nobody has monopoly over prime it
so people pour the clips out with no rhyme in
They the pushers bow have malice though
They smoke everything without touching the chalice
though
I tried to give a damn, but ain’t nobody want though
So I held on to it and took it personal
I lived around crack dealers and preaches
Street graduates becoming the teachers
Politicians talking they couldn't reach us
So we’re becoming the six o’clock features
Don’t study me you won’t graduate
My life is good money you can’t tabulate
Get that dough, but hold your head high
A piece ain’t enough we deserving the whole pie
Chorus:
Dear Mr. Parker you made me this monster
’cause what don’t kill me makes me strong
And I decide where I belong
Damn it’s my hell yeah got something to tell you
If they never made you, they can never break you
Just remain the real you, you decide your fate, move on
If you can't take the heat, why you got your hand out
In hell's kitchen the regular never stand out
In high school they told me I wouldn't be nothin'
Wouldn't make it out the turf, wouldn't be see nothin'
It’s all my game and made up your mind quick
But I would never let the evil in their minds stick
Further more some of the hoodlums I ran with are
doctors and lawyers
Trick I hope you feeling it
Watching us on the television with your daughters
Say cheese girl wave to your father
What it's like is welcome back Carter
I am at the ACC with Shawn Carter
Backstage thinking look at my life now
I done did good, got a house in a white town
Just so whenever those white folks talk
They got to respect the rapper who bought the whole
block (ah)
Chorus:
Dear Mr. Parker you made me this monster
'Cause what don’t kill me makes me strong
And I decide where I belong
Damn it’s my hell yeah got something to tell you
If they never made you, they can never break you
Just remain the real you, you decide your fate, move on
All I need
All I want
All I need
The teacher got the kids from 9 to 3
But we got 'em 24/7 on they
I-P-O-D so respect my P-O-V
When I'm filling their ears with love, that's on me
See I travel with a MasterCard, that's on me
But it’s only a fraction of who I be
Never leave a common sense like no I-D
What my daddy taught me got me into V-I-P
You see, you see, you see (x2)
Dear Mr. Parker you made me this monster
'Cause what don’t kill me makes me strong
And I decide where I belong
Damn it’s my hell yeah got something to tell you
If they never made you, they can never break you
Just remain the real you, you decide your fate, move on
'Cause what don’t kill me makes me strong
And I decide where I belong
Damn it’s my hell yeah got something to tell you
If they never made you, they can never break you
So I was like aight yo, can I get in to it
My crew down to do it, if she going to pursue it
And before I even knew it, out she came
With the tight gold clip, and the dark brown frame
[Unverified] possession the Money Jane, I see me forget
The first time we met me couldn't keep me eyes shut, shut
She give me bling, bling, I bring me wooley poor a set, set
When me check she thought had ear to get, get
Yo, she one of them freaks that will relax your mind
Till you get burnt out and you need the next dime
To reinvent the last time, when she got you that
Licks in da Land Rover
Rolex 'pon me wrist and a crisp pullover
Platinum chain and ring with ice all over
And the bus' out the suit with all them string ya
Hey, hey, the only problem she won't keep it a secret
She buys nigga's ice, she pays my rent
She covers it with Mastercard and red cent
Monopoly is real life when you're fine
She the head of the game, yo, my homegirl Money Jane
I hope you witness the adventures of Miss Money Jane
Blind your ass, while you out looking for that money train
If you look then you will find, but think about what you looking for
2-3 for 2-3 for
Yo, me and MJ go back to the eighties
She used to roll with my family to J-A
VA, SC and even GA
I used to spend her in Decatur in the daily
Visiting my auntie, we went world wide
She met every single girl I had, no lie
And then one of my ex-girls brought me to the side and said
M-Jane is tearing up my insides
Couldn't hear that, I need to run my life
I'm like the big King and she like my Queen wife
She done looks good in denim, better in leather
Just right in linen, and so fine in good weather
In the summertime, she on my ass
At the barbecues, buying me a drink without asking
When she with me, she be looking out for me simple and plain
My homegirl Money Jane
I hope you witness the adventures of Miss Money Jane
Blind your ass, while you out looking for that money train
If you look then you will find, but think about what you looking for
2-3 for 2-3 for
She get around, she get around a lot
Alright check it out, she bust on the spot
She get around, she get around a lot
From Paris to New York and she come back
She get around, she move around a lot
Alright check it out, she bust on the spot
She get around, she move around a lot
From Kingston JA, right up to T-dot
Upon the level, funny how we only know that
And a dull life, when she run out we love circles
Funny we run every where
But when it in the door, that time we return up on the rebel
Only buy the food from the FoodMart
Antagonist start, how do you know we live comfortable
Only meant the gun them bust out
And people in New York how you done know someone?
Ayo, everybody needs her simple and plain
My homegirl Money Jane, I say again
Everybody needs her simple and plain
My homegirl Money Jane
My homegirl Money Jane
I hope you witness the adventures of Miss Money Jane
Blind your ass, while you out looking for that money train
If you look then you will find, but think about what you looking for
Yeah, turn my headphones up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, feeling kind of sick though
Yeah, now I'mma kick this
Uh huh, uh huh uh huh

Never sever the Ever from fresh when he spits, everything's a hit
He got skills like Mad and the Super friends
When he does a duo, it comes out like a crew track, he's so wicked
Cooler than Ice Cube, Mack more than 10 at one time
Like Choclair he's a Virgin to the wack rhyme
It's true
(Fo' real)
Got a Blueprint like Thrust, said he's notorious
And watch the hit bust all over the country
(Fo' real)
Even on BET, ask Tigga about them niggas
With that Northern Touch Beat they was playing
No playing, that nigga with the afro
That's right, tight and rocks crowds all night
(Word)
Style like no other tall brother on your FM dial
My nigga kip-ki-kip-ki-Kardinal, you know
He once was a thug from around the way
He once was a thug from around the way
He once was a thug from around the way
He once was a thug from around the way
Check it
A dis ain't a dis if a dis has discrepancies
I dismiss your dissidences and doubt your intelligence
And discuss how disjoint your disc
From the dispatch, a distance throw all y'all from shit that's wack
Steady disguising, your disfavor, disliking my steelo
Dis ain't kindergarten, you don't have to go where we go
Discipline yourself before your ego disappears
While I discretely disassemble you from your career
Stupid, dis is not your ordinary rapper dis
Dis so all you niggas discover just who the dapper is
Causing discomfort, disallowing your dis-jock to rock
Any record 'cuz your whole sound's flop, yo
Dis is going out to niggas who dis without
Thinking about what the hell they doing, yo, your shit we're booing
Oh, while I discombobulate you
This is going out to any nigga opposing my crew like that
Yo, Silver House and the Girl 2000
Kardinal Offishall, in your ear side, nawmean
He once was a thug from around the way
He once was a thug from around the way
He once was a thug from around the way
He's got the green timbs with the fat laces
Yo, yeah, checkin' in, nigga
You say why I call you nigga, think about it
You went from what
From an African, straight to a nigger, you know what I'm saying
We traveling over to what, to what
Negro and then we went to what
Then we went to black
And then it like was on some Afro-American stuff
Afro-Canadian what have you, but guess what
Don't matter what you call yourself
It's what they call you behind your back
Nigga, straight up
Straight up and down, you know what I'm sayin'
A yo, walkin' through the uptown, a black man
(Nigga)
A yo, walkin' down Yonge St., a black man
(Nigga)
A yo, walkin' through Flatbush, a black man
(Nigga)
When the revolution comes I got a finger on the trigga
I was born a regular man of the Earth
With a curse to walk like a soldier since birth
My exterior is shaded in by my melanin
Stereotype of my type is a felon
My people cause static
'Cause automatically now a days we fire automatics
Grammatically adequate my people come equipped
With enough lyrics to move battleships
Blood brother ever since the slave ships
It doesn't matter who I am when I walk by
They still see me as a nigga when I walk by
That's okay, this nigga will play the role and come again
And take back the Earth another day
I'm a nigga, baby, we some niggaz, baby
Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks
But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga
A yo, walkin' through London, a black man
(Nigga)
A yo, walkin' through Rexdale, a black man
(Nigga)
A yo, strollin' through Dectaur as a black man
(Nigga)
Yo, I was born to emcee representin' with the Figurez
I can taste the history livin' in my bones
For the thickness I got a love jones
I like my girls with the nappy dug out, hips and chest buss out
Lips real full, gettin' ready to cuss out
Parasuco gettin' insulated by the structure
Body so powered that the labels be stickin' out in 3-D
We salute the ladies, raped over time pushin' out light babies
The slave masters with the devil in their eye
Saw nothin' but a nigga when you walked by
But you the mother of creation
Let's bring back the family aspect and try to build a strong nation
I'm a nigga, baby, we some niggaz, baby
Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks
But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga
A yo, walkin' through Chinatown, a black man
(Nigga)
A yo, walkin' through the projects, a black man
(Nigga)
A yo, walkin' through Africa, a black man
(Nigga)
Some try to disrespect to make themselves look bigger
I am a nigga since birth, a man by choice
Some men act niggerish pushin' Rolls Royces
Thinkin' them toys make a man
While you johnin' them hookers, we tryin' to make a stand
What you believe in?
Chris Rock? Or crack rock?
Soft rock? Or hard rock?
When I talk the whole world rocks
Like the vote, we can change thinkin'
Before you set a float your whole concepts sinkin'
You know I like to see you back that ass up
But before you pass up, you should get your damn class up
Take the hood out your mouth and parle
So we can take back the world right now, today
I'm a nigga baby, we some niggaz baby
Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks
But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga
I'm a nigga baby, we some niggaz baby
Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks
But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga
I'm a nigga baby, we some niggaz baby
Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks
But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, naughty and ready
Come to claim the party
Kardinal and Red-1 are gon' spark the mic
We massive from the West to the East side of Barn(?)
All the weak sounds can't come it
We sing, Oh Lord Mr. Kardinal style nice times twice
Red-1 on the mic device mice times two
Original imperial lyrical manifestations of freshness
Best in these politics called rap music
Abuse it like a pedophile on coke
Eighth wonder of the world, tallest freestyle structure
Flucuate a verb like Misfit
With that on my team I wouldn't risk it
That's the sound of my biscuit
Ready flip it
[Red-1]
Yo, actions speak louder than words, so lets do this
Don't know we business, don't know that we the rudest
The specialist yes we must progress
Gwan express manifest obtain and invest in self-interest
And watch the fly multiply, Red-1 and Kardinal
Yes you must recognize, to this I testify
By the ways of the Samurai
If I fail to make it happen, then I accept to die
'Cause, no progress, that is a problem
East vs. West, enough man are dead
Stay penniless, that not work again
Tell you what, we make it happen
Occupied by vibes and not gun clapping
Through rapping, we build foundations
With this brings levels of realization
If somebody got to rule, why can't we be the ones?
Like
CHORUS [Saukrates]
Chic-blow
Deform your structure with no problem
You thought you knew, but I am you times ten
You want some of this and brign your foundation
Seen, come again
[Kardinal Offishall]
Knock you out lilke my initials
Evil style like Proctor-Gamble, on your life like Suge Knight
[Red-1]
We check them gwan write, we a respect them
'Cause, them are our enemy we are dem no friend
[Kardinal Offishall]
When an MC lick hot, let them send them to the West
Make Chemo drop beats 'til them less palm's fist
Pump this a in your Beamer
[Red-1]
Yes we be the.. General Official
Pedophiles when it comes to the instrumentals
Combine styles, and commence with crackin'
Conquer the world and Trump girls make it happen
Rascalz in a dis with F-O-S specialist, no stress
Watch how we big up our chest
[Kardinal Offishall]
I'm a hip hop trackster running
Seen the other feet have a better chance of seeing the second coming of Christ the Lord
He's my light and salvation, Mr. Kardinal combine with Red-1
All de come down
Original gun yapper, put down your water gun
[Red-1]
Whoever your God is, say your prayer and bye
'Cause everybody a fin go, it your turn to die
So why why why?
Why must I be crucify, hey boy stop cry
And identify who's on your side
'Cause it ain't the Red-1 or the Kardinal
CHORUS
[Red-1]
Ayo, right now
Right and now, if a boy fi test, he gon get licked down
'Cause, that's how we like it
It's absolute niceness
[Kardinal Offishall]
They not ???? if they you know you walk straight
'Cause a man might debate, and if you really irate
Put in your style bait fate, chosen by the devil
While I reach the higher level, you steaming like a pale kettle
[Red-1]
So God sickle, let the big man handle this
Under pressure, the situation's delicate
Ready with the steadiness of a surgeon
We write the version, like the goods of a virgin
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, all naughty walk to a pumpkin belly
Jah lead enough niggas trying to buy Pelle Pelle
With no food a in your belly
Crip youth and smelly
But your clothes look crisp
Red-1 the lyricist
[Red-1]
And down the Offishall, when a shoot and miss
M-I-C twin clips is what we armed with
I check you a master of Kung-Fu
If you got verbs and nerves to try to dis our crew
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo might dis you
If you try to run contest with our crew
While we running with the majors
Niggas going gold off their demos
Strength coming from your peeps, while I'm solo like a rolo
[Red-1] ** chanting **
INTRO [Kardinal Offishall] {Female voice}
So what's going on?
{Well, you know. Things have been happening}
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You always talk that things have been happening stuff
You know what I'm saying
I want thinks to be happening between me and you
You know mean
{Oh everything's cool and everything, but I don't know}
{I don't know, I just don't know}
Yo, I don't have time for that I don't know stuff
You know what I'm saying, I'm ready to do this now
You know mean
I'm a man who's used to not settling down with one girl you know but
Yo, like for real I'm break myself down you know I want you to be with me
You know what I'm saying
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, first things first
I Kardinal seems to always find a way
To strip my soul of a bad man's status
The phone apparatus seems to be my killer
Before the soundwaves slices my heart all of my insides tenses
All of my senses telling me the next flex
'Cause my Madmoizellez, tone suggest I am alone
Madmoizelle have a different face, different body same character
Because it lives within the nature, that's why it's natu-ral to the Offishall
That I should live for the time, so that I won't lose my mind
Word up
To give you artificial, hoping futuristic dreams about a never-ending team
What the fail to neglect, is that in retrospect
Why they take a piece of you, what you receiving isn't true (word up)
How many times you hear that I'm gonna, we're gonna
Check it, just get to steppin' cause you're damaging my reppin'
My best friend's suppose to be my ace
When both of we is genuine, then I might let you shine Madmoizelle
My best friend's suppose to by my ace
When both of we is genuine, then I might let you shine Madmoizelle
CHORUS [Wade O. Brown]
Baby when I know
I know how to leave Madmoizelle
I will put you on as well
There's no fronting, all of we can do
I know you can be my Madmoizelle
I was with you on as well
There's no stopping all of we can do
[Kardinal Offishall]
I was lead to believe that both of we would be
In the same vicinity, for infinity
Check the lyricy, talks of walking, sexin' in parks after dark
Turn to private relation, for word sensation
Dreams of my seed having you there to raise him right
And while he's sleeping, I can bust a lyric to your heart heating
I bear withâ¦
But those weren't suppose to be an option
After crossing lines of manhood, tears we both feared
But I knew I wasn't gonna, as long as I had you in my corner
But then you as a friend started to disappear
I couldn't hear what you was saying
Just, the Madmoizelle's face displaying
Enough young, but old enough to know the best is incomprehendable
The grasp of life you possess, if you taught me something
It was to be solo on the search, you should be attached to no one
Ambilicals was cut at birth, Madmoizelle
CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
Where you were carasseing me, emotionally undressing me
I couldn't wait for the next session and counting blessings
Now that you were part of life, living through dramas wasn't nothin'
No fronting, your aspiration let me know that you were something
A mind's travel to distance places, on top of mountains
Touching the sky together through different climates and weather
But this was all reduced to a verbal seduce
When I was introduced to past, all that going too fast isht
Once bitten, twice shy, once written Eye & I
Seen many doves cry but I never heard you lie
Still the one thing that scares me is that you're true
Although it's ripping me apart, can't go back and stop supporting you
Breddrens for life, nobody else could share your title
Besides God, money and Mom, it's in you that I see you knight
Looking in your eyes is poof, with powers of bud
It's a wonder that we never made love.
Clap your hands if you're working too hard (3x)
And the beat so hard you'll work it work it
And I, I can't escape from the work in LA
And I, I can't sleep in my bed any day
When you clap your hands if you're working too hard
In the year 1997
Figure of speech brought to you, Kardinal Offishall
We going to do it like
Yeah, okay, now all my niggas in the back
My niggas in the front, girlies on the side
Girls on the left and the right
I want you to come to the front, come on
I said, shake that booty
Come on, shake that booty
I said, crack that biddy, crack that biddy
Come on, crack that biddy, come on, crack that biddy
Shake them titties
Come on, shake them titties
Come on, shake them titties
Come on, shake them titties
Let me hear you say, scratch the LoLo
Come on, y'all, scratch the LoLo
Face beating, face beating
Face beating, face beating
Let me hear you, beat that face
Beat that face
Crack that busy
Crack that busy
Shake that LoLo , come on y'all, shake the LoLo
Let me hear you say, F O S
Let me hear you say, F O S
Shake them titties, shake them titties
Scratch the LoLo
Come on, y'all, scratch the LoLo
Let me hear you say, beat that face
Beat that face
Scratch that LoLo, scratch that LoLo
Yeah, you don't stop
This is how we do it for the 9-7
[Kardinal]
Again, again, agian, again, again
Yo! This is Kardinal on the past two

Mastermind tape five 0
T dot O Oh start to the bricks
Kardinal and Rah Digga with the shit

You know how I mean, watch out
Yo, yo its a big solider in this rap shit
I'm cappin' bad ass
I be motion style and take 2 stripes off you adidas
Pass the mic while you got the chance, fast
The master of the class
That you cant surpass
When night come be in the ninetys (You cant last)
I'm fresh-ahh, contact you necksta
Can when I begin to mash out like M.O.P.
Thats what the memo be
Retaliate and find hos in your Gu-o-chi
Listen to me, I'm the phat track filler
Rhyme killer when I combine with Rah Digga (word)
The styles mad flashy, the flow is insane
Instead of tryin' to fuck with me, try to abstain (uhh)
Its a "Trival Pursuit" and I dont play the game
I roll dice with you life, you get trude like sugarcane (nigga)
I'm ten times better than you will every be
You are what you eat and I'm the best emcee, no doubt
[Chorus (Kardinal)]
Now my niggas up north, dirty cats down south
Kardinal and Rah Digga will
Flyin by emcees all the wrong bouts
Circle and Flipmode will
Talk a lot niggas getting tapped in their mouth
Better watch what you say for me
[Kardinal]
Ladies and gentlemen
[Rah Digga]
(Live from the bricks) Rah Digga uh huh
Check it out now
Very first to spit, nigga I'm put 2 in
You might get lucky like Knicks without Ewing
I'm come with the shoe in, bring the 3 hearts
and I'm back to the bench, then I hit hI'm with a peace card!
Raw diva gonna spit the crazy type
Known for spillin' the ill, thats not so lady like
+How High+ Bitches going to bounce the ride
Pullin' over coppers watch taking pisses outside
With her highney, on the parkway haulin' ass
Getting pulled over giving cops my autograph
Little bity thing weighing buck and change
I'm frontin' emcees like they weren't playin' tame
Come on everybody sing along if you heard it
Heard it for free now gettin' Gs to reword it
Seed and the weed be my pride and joy
Holdin down for my thugs screamin' nobody would
[Chorus (Kardinal)] w/ extra *Method Man sample* at end
[Kardinal]
Ya love, Yo I'm the mic thug +UR Ghetto When+
Rap veteren, paper bag around the over proof birds pedaling
Gettin' chedderin', more type chedder type fella
If I cant afford sample clearance, rock and acapella
[Rah Digga]
Uhh, legit mas to hide the mini scandles
Cross them semi handles to match my 50s sandles
Floss like sicked and a blind AIDs patient
O.Dn' off good ass weed and PlayStation
[Kardinal]
Yo, yo I run with peeps who break in the back door
Rush in urbs sellin', smokin' weed off the floor
Gun finger in the air, on some hard nigga shit
Mastermind Volume 50 thats it, Rah Dig
[Rah Digga]
Comin' hardcore as I swing in the north
And I mostly do the drugs but I say no to pork
So when I say Master- You say -mind
My God bless the child that write their own rhymes
[Chorus (Kardinal)] w/ "We big dark rebels with the glocks out"
"Watch what you say for me" added to the end
I was told you better never pull it out
Unless you're gonna use it
Real life talk no music
Chase use to keep it then the back seat
Ride it in the Monday
Kept it on Sunday, Sunday super jean
Never let me hold it
But trust me here to close
I wasn't held
Kitchen fascinated by the toast
Till the first time n-ggas flashed on me
Homie try to bless on me
From that time I had a different perspective
Lot of n-ggas hold when they're not respected
My n-gga is hold on me cheap
Guns more than he do chip in the... clip
He said in the rock... when it's cruising in the whipping
And in the A where he'll be living
Certain n-ggas might trippin
Tryin to figure up
Talk about your life for the beam
His daughter need to daddy
So he's got all he hit up
I kind of understand D us...
N-ggas don't... when they need money for rent
And the jobs ain't hiring
The same feeling boys drop around stunting
Big wale enough, you ain't secure the clock is the cure
Freshly if you think your... is on shirt
If you grow up with no value in life then it's...
To the bullets like fish to the night
The graduation, no diploma no celebration
N-gga draw of like the... into animation
The same GaO... boys never will become a man
And this is disturbing diming over...
Argument because it wasn't in control come on
When they say we animals we always take offense
But we never think it over when I boy I get attent
To get reaching for a machine while shoot erotically
Who catch that n-gga yeah a... to battery
... could call em in the trip
Turn me in the... shit
The forty got click the... crazy do not forget the sick
This not about the gun is more about the n-gga with it
The more you... got your suit fit it
So n-ggas I know how they fire I'm fit it
Some n-ggas I know how I'm kid it
Kids running around but my bullets still in it
All I remember to straight victim to...
Gonna kill nobody people kill people
The media usually ask me to talk on it
Not... chock a bank so I rock on it
It remind me of the neighborhoods where I used to play
You ca still hear the...
4o... desert the...
Smiffing with some magnum finger on the trig
Saw... on shot man on the palm
N-ggas don't make a...
Inside the AKA...
Dealing with the... need to torture
Akon: Convict
Kardinal Offishall: Jay
Choir: And let the choir sing (chanting)
Kardinal Offishall: Still got a couple seconds left, you knowa mean

Kardinal Offishall: See your ass on the dancefloor
VERSE 1:

Niggas scream...whenever they see me in the party
Everything's official
You ain't gotta ask
----------------------------
You need a late pass
Ya'll need sip punani
Bottle to the head

We stay connected, above the clouds
We don't talk much but the movement speak loud, nigga
Gotta respect that
There's no choice
I'm Mr. Agua, watchadata, get moist
Girlfriend caught me kickin' with the crew
She my late night friend, butchall
CHORUS (T-Pain):

Kardinal Offishall: (chuckles) And we get back at 'em
VERSE 2:
They call me Kardie
Mr. Gasoline
World turn to (FIRE!)

And we don't buy it unless we got it ten times
This is real life, we ain't just sitting on the rhymes man
Guaranteed if you're a poser you lose
And we the future, let's hear it for the brand new fusion
Anybody can get it, there is no exclusion
'Nuff questions, leading to the same conclusion
Gangsters is Gangsters
Nigga be you who be

At the end of the night they say

Third Verse
VERSE 3:
Ey Yo
They call me Kardie
Mr. Evolution
Now you can dance while you think about the revolution
And while you vex having delusions of persecution
I'ma stay flawless, an instrument of execution
Out of many still grows one people
Justice (...) still remain unequal
And I'm a diamond in the dirt
And there is no sequel
Many try but they cannot replicate what we do
Hear evil, speak that evil
Speak good to the hood, there is no retrieval
Think about while you sippin' on your (...)
If my words could talk they'd say
CHORUS:
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
(Now hear the choir say) I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
I wanna go home with you
Now hear the choir say
(chanting)
Now hear the choir say
[Kardinal Offishall]
Ease off the stage 'pression (ha)
"Aiyo, aiyo, missa, missa, missa, they won't embarrass it." (*laughing*)
Aight, 'You dun know' yeah, yeah
Kardinal Offishall 'You dun know'
Yeah, Figure IV, Mastermind (*laughs*)
Your murder sells sometimes for a little bit of money
Emcees make music, Kardinal makes history
My mic is like the tablets to most, dick to hos
Forty candles to rude boys in South Pole to poles
His clothes last about one eighth the expiration date
When Mastermind and Offishall innovate a mix tape style
Freestyles are for fuckin' with them freshmen type emcees
I'm your guidance consular sayin' to "Quit while your ahead!" (*echoes*)
Stop spittin' in my ear talkin about you got flows
Or you got a single out that your whole block knows
Cats buyin' their own product talkin' about its sold out
I walk through your hood steamin' and nigga its cold out (sssssss)
The dimensions of my dictation that keeps your dicks pacin'
Mastermind calibrations emphasizes what we statin'
I'm coming true giving the home girls what they desire
Rockin' in the dance hog I'm on them top I'm more fire (ahhhhh)
My style makes it higher, crisp bootys in the pants
And you know its Mr. Kardi from the time you take a glance
("Aiyo aiyo Kardi wsup with your deal nigga?")
Aiyo niggas suck my dick, Mastermind
Forty nine reppin' with the Circle click
Sign that bitch! (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Kardi-nal Offi-shal, stay tune for Mastermind (*laughs*)
Fifty, Silverhouse and the girl

Aaaaaight, get out of my ear with that bulshit (word up)
[Intro: Vybz Kartel] (Kardinal Offishall)

[Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall]
Black Jays up, within your town

Your now in tune to the number one sound
Rudebwoys brown bag their liquor and they walk in the street with it
Rainbow anyting yuh never see me with it
Big matic (CHO!!!) my respect
Automactics, German luger, Kardinal never needed it
Niggaz hungry in the streets so we feeded it
Pretty face, ugly body I couldn't be with it
Words from the most high I heeded it
You know it ain't my baby, maybe he did it
His face was in front of knuckle, I bleeded
Niggaz dropin dimes AKA they pleadid it
The mic smokin and I proper and bleeded it
You soft pranksta, why you lyin tryin to be gangsta
[Chorus: Kardinal Offishall]
Everybody gone gangsta nigga, gangsta, everybody gone gangsta (Gangsta)
Everybody gone gangsta nigga, rudeboy everybody gone gangsta (Gangsta)
Everybody gone gangsta nigga, gangsta, everybody gone gangsta (Gangsta)
Rudeboy everybody gone gangsta nigga, gangsta, everybody gone gangsta
[Interlude: Vybz Kartel]
You know this ain't no comedy like Benny Hill
Guns that sings like Lauryn Hill blood spill from now until
[Verse 2: Vybz Kartel]
Lyrically everyone gangsterin, but who wanna take it to the streets, nobody answerin
Bullets to your brain like aspirin, the art of war we did master it
We got arms like George Bush, heart like Bin Laden
Projects and schemes of Jamaican we been trodin
Murder, extortion, kidnappin, bribery, drug money launderin, Alice and Steve keep wonderin
How some pussy can't move we, we shoot like a video or a movie
Bloodbath no, blood ja'causezi
Beretta, calico, uzi, make big man a scream like Susie
We very spooky, our war never marginal, so if a nigga try diss Kardinal
Leave and return like the prodigal
finish everybody and finish everybody gal, Ha Ha!!!
[Chorus: Kardinal Offishall]
Everybody gone gangsta nigga, gangsta, everybody gone gangsta (Gangsta)

Yo! I can't believe some niggaz that I kn-ow

Not 4 Sale
Due Me A Favour feat. Estelle
{intro}
Woah
oh x 5
{verse 1}
it's like speeding down the highway
with a blind fold on
no hands on the wheel
hopin' God will lead me my way
and I know he real
so my grandma say what I
feel a sweat from the sun
cause I work construction
I gotta take care of my son
I got one in the oven on the way
rents late, two months
cause my land lord talks too much
hands full of calises
and I still got the magic touch to make wifee blush
I been workin' it out since a high school crush
fix on the clutch
minds on my money
but my money ain't there
but I will not resort to welfare I care
can't stop
won't stop
couldn't even do it if I tried
if I said I did I'd die
let's ride x 2
ride...
{chorus}
I need a favour tonight
more than heaven knows
I need a favour tonight... x 2
could God do me a favour?
I could really use a favour
could I get it tonight?
(repeat once more)
{verse 2}
Christmas here
I'm taking time and a half
gotta make that cash
even if a nigger gotta drive that cab
I'm gonna treat it like a limo
didn't know? y'better ask
somebody told me
closed mouths don't eat
closed eyes may never ever see
so I try with everything I've got to not sleep
but it's hard to run if at first you don't creep
after work take the long way home
see a lotta whips stick out in chrome
thinkin about a house but I can't get along
so I day dream on my way back to my zone
thinkin about my son look when he full grown
will he be raised right or another street clone?
everything I know God knows gotta shown
lettim know he is not alone
he on x 2
on...
{chorus: Estelle}
I need a favour tonight
more than heaven knows
I need a favour tonight... x 2
could God do me a favour?
really use a favour
can I get it tonight?
(repeat once more)
{verse 3}
It's like uh,
drownin' in a world o' failure
I can't stop 'til my suits are tailored
well
I really can't trust my neighbours
some
only trust in the Lord to save me
gotta believe in the fact
that he must want better for us
like young C gotta do it for us
my car broke down
f*** the bus
f*** the million
f*** the city laws are unjust
it's like why do I try
when I feel I'm gonna die
without a tear left in my eye?
I work the hard to see the lease
it's like cultivating the harvest
not seeing the feast
I don't wanna get philosophical go-to deed
I have faith but I'm afraid to take the lead
most of what I know
I know holds me back
instead of learning
I want that lack
come on x 4
{chorus: Kard/Estelle extended chorus}
I need a favour tonight
more than heaven knows
I need a favour tonight... x 2
could God do me a favour?
I could really use a favour
can I get it tonight?
(repeat once more)
{dialogue outro}
yo cuz
why you takin' me to the water d?
I mean
shit is peaceful
I mean this real romantic
you know I'm not into that shit?
right?
{outro spit}
some of my friends are terrorists
some of my friends deal crack and I am not OK with this
some niggers I know only back me because I rake dough like a gardner
and fuck it I work harder
I don't like most hip hop out
there's a secret society of niggers who wanna shout
"turn that bullshit off!"
I should shut my mouth?
next thing you know I ain't welcome down south
of the border
I don't believe in turfs or a section
I believe in community
where anybody can walk good without protection
I believe that Dyla was the numba one dude in rap
but there on the slaps of haikus
I spite you for not givin' it up
fuck what that nigger say, nigger give it up
why black people act like little kids?
make mad excuses when they know what it is
be like them white folks invest that shit
instead niggers clownin' on the red carpet
showing my neice that a million on the neck
is the hot shit
is bloodclocked disrespect
and growin' up poor don't make you ignant
act your age
don't act your pigment
race to the top
don't let your race stop you
from revolution
open your mouth and bust shots
read books
young niggers say "hello,"
screw faces an' fuck me we know you spawns jello
spit what you been through
spit what you know
and don't waste my time
fuck your demo
yeeaah...

Girl, I can notice but to, notice you, noticing me
From across the room I can see it and can't stop myself
From looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out, I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, yeah
Oh yeah, that?s her
The big dog tryin? to get her little kitty to purr
Ex-man lookin? at me like I'm Lucifer
?Cause he knows I will deal with the case, yes sir!
If I was the last man I earth
I would only take that girl, end of search
She give a new definition to the word ?curve?
Got chicks in the strip club envying her
Body's like weapons of mass eruptions
See the glad on that phat obstruction
Tongue game give her new type of seduction
I?m trying to give that girl something, cha!
Girl, I can notice but to, notice you, noticing me
From across the room I can see it and can't stop myself
From looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out, I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, yeah
Oh, bad to the bone
Everything locked like a two three zone
I wanted to make my black snake moan
Talk a little bit then take that home
She bad and she know the deal
That?s what I can?t hide when she want to conceal
I mean, Meagan Good and Halle Berry
Put together in close to the jubee I see
No no! No disrespect
But this gyal a pon another level, cut the check, uh!
Tell king, max stop the press
Say kid, can I get a witness?
Girl, I can notice but to, notice you, noticing me
From across the room I can see it and can't stop myself
From looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out, I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, yeah
I see you got that fire by the way that you walkin?
From left to right I watched her go down
Girl, I just want it right now, don?t wanna do no talkin?
Shorty?s so right, I need to slow down
Figure 8, good body shape
When she on the dance floor, gyal I?m irate
When she do her thing man can?t walk straight
That biscuit fi? soak up everything on ev?ery plate
Mad heels like Jessica P
I?m tryna give homegirl sex and the cit-t-ty
Itty-bitty waistline, moves with the baseline
One lick of punch, I?m fine, cha!
Girl, I can notice but to, notice you, noticing me
From across the room I can see it and can't stop myself
From looking and noticing you, noticing me
Watch out I've seen her type before
That girl is so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so dangerous, that girl is so dangerous
Yeah
Kardinal
The black bond with the Canadian I'm in my nah nah
but what tanks suit that war like Vietnam
murder everything kiss em before you kill em
though cowards are quick to miss quote I ain't for the ceiling bro
one gun two fingers gun shot, boom
when you thought I wasn't hot, I was still close to six 0′s
six bros said y'all skip flows and double dot straight to the charts
and I do balls black bond with the microphone
murder and then bring it back to the life with the high paton
people talking bout what's real hip hop day
he said shit that's real stay dray
I know you scared to say shit
you know they ain't nice nigga scake round the truth I put em on ice
truth is these niggas so scared to stand up they link up the people they used to this
man up this kid ran up, crying up the breath
set the game still need you but ain't nobody left
just bunch of subliminal disrespect going on
people shaking hands with them niggas they've been shitting on
I said why you think that I wanna be part of that
that's why I chill for a little reflected on rap
it's all Rnb trap enough check
Frank all should more..and most that gun clap
Word up, be yourself stop faking and pretending
eventually all stories come in ending
mean faces and lies and all your verses
whenever a verse could wrath of your God's cursing
I pull the string on a limit shit darkness
I'm living in the elegant Moroccan apartment
politarian chicks sparking, convo week
and I don't really care for her jogging
balcony is windy, looking at the stars and
I'll be on the handy uzzi and wibling
Gucci pillow on the bed why she givin nuggy
listen and I tripping off the Maxwell album island
crystal and Spain bring a book about starling
then I serenade it with a violin
but shawty not qualify the beat took to that kind of out it
gotta be a fly bitch to hang around that fly shit
found out in..I got an eyes bitch Nazis
in the real deal full spots on the constant
pick the right one..to wash it
life style and composites top not watches
Rolexes.. shit I'm coping
ask she's been around duffle bag
for what that fuck you cash
get off the jet in heels and I cope your ass
looking in my eyes saying you one lucky bastard
rip your clutch you get finger fucked in the passenger
I hit the dutch blow smoke and out
music and laughter see us in the cuff flying pastor
Ask cold, dress cold the changes her ..England
back to the stars bang the labels in my closet hangin
kind of wonder in the tundra, can humble the..when I come through to confront you
let nothing slide, slide remarks you you must wanna die
but you fronting while we all know you punky pie
when we in the bunch we fly better and amerist
to the bot to the shot I'm cruise you conflict
had the seek cause the storm taifoon you out
you know what I'm talking bout I'ma fuck and..
never sleep, never tie keep the sleep I tie
who don't speak she quit so I could think conspire

We say, ?You better rip the show?
Before bottles start flyin' an' you runnin' for the door

T Dot, niggaz, will eat your food before y'all cats say Grace
Y'all cats is steady sayin', ?Word?, my niggas is steady yellin', ?Zeen?
Half the time we talkin' about 'More times
You don't even know what 'More times' means
'More times we rocker fresher', 'More times we come correct'
More times y'all think it's the hot shit
Y'all haven't heard nuttin' yet
Differently, still yuh know, the circle gettin' ill, yuh know
Step on the wrong Bally boot an' you might get kill, ya know
So every time you walk through a dance tell a yute, ?Excuse me?
Tellin' your jubie, ?I like her style?
She's talkin' about, ?Abuse me, use me
Show me how the T Dot rolls?
My style is off the thermostat plus I'm comin' from the cold, yo
What the chill?
My nigga's in the street throwin' dot slang
Each an' every single time we meet
What the chill?
My ladies lookin' hot, screw face, kissin' teeth

Kardinal rock the party, yo, T Dot drinkin' Bacardi
Kardi drinkin' Bacardi, yo, T Dot rockin' the party
Y'all nigga's jumpin' an' whylin' an' ladies showin' a smile
An' everybody knows it's the T Dot
So when we singin' about the girls we singin' about 'Di gal dem'
Y'all talkin' about, ?Say that one more time?
We talkin' about, ?Yo, come again?
Y'all talkin' about, ?That nigga's a punk?
We talkin' about, ?Dat yute's a fosse?
For the kids that think I'm comin' wit it, brother, just watch me

Y'all talkin' about, ?Watch where you goin'?
We talkin' about, ?Mind where you step?
We backin' a 2 4 of Guinness, we ain't messin' with Moet
An' if you runnin' out of liquor, the bar might get wet
You're talkin' about, ?Yo, that girl's hype?
We like, ?She's the bundown?
Y'all say, ?A DJ battle?, we say, ?Clash with two sounds?
We rock the hottest things, no matter how much it cost

Yo, instead of your boys, we talkin' about 'Di man dem'
When talkin' about 'Your bredrin', yo we talkin' about 'Your friend'
When you say, ?The club is over?, yo, we say, ?Di jam dun?
When you're thinkin' about the west, we thinkin' about Red 1
Big ups an' salutations to the Figure IV crew
When you're sayin', ?She's a chicken?, she a 'Skettlebam' too
When you talkin' about a 'Thug nigga'
We talkin' about a 'Shotta'
When you think you got it locked, T Dot comin' much hotta
You think we all Jamacian, when 'nuff man are Trini's
Bajans, Grenadians an' a whole heap of Haitians
Guyanese an' all of the West Indies combined
To make the T Dot O Dot, one of a kind
Irs said, 'We burn kahn', that mean, ?They puff lah?
When we say, ?Hell no?, that means, ?You dat nuh make it?
Look me in the eye an' tell me y'all ain't sold
My style is off the thermostat, plus I'm comin' from the cold, yo

When the money you got is dead wrong
It's royalties from biting Kardinal's song
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you thinkin' you a star
And you're waiting in line at the back for drinks at the bar
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you try to do a ghetto song
Of your own down coming out down south
You thought Kardinal wouldn't buss you in your mouf
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you think you number one with the flow
And you shoutin' out yourself on the radio
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When the polo that you rock
Is on sale at TJ Max from you head to your socks
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you stuck inside a jail
And them Gators on your feets cost more then your bail
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you think you represent
But them niggas in the street ain't spendin' a red cent
Ain't tryin' to buy your single, nigga, hell no!
If you dubbin' this right now 'stead of buyin' my album

Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think you a star

Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think that you?re nice
But the opposite don't look twice
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
(You're ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When your boys push crack
And you buyin' crack from them so you can go smoke out back
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When your moms part of your crew
And your nigga's hanging out to get closer to her too
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When I don't know who you are?
But nigga I know your name 'cause I can read it on your chain
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya, rapping along
And ya can relate to the rhyme I'm spittin' in the song
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya best clothes, is your dress clothes
And dress is Paco jeans and jelly slippers, namean?
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya askin' for some cigarettes
'Cause you can't afford hash to mix with that weed in your stash
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you tryin' to get your flirt on
And that cock blockin' nigga got the same Gucci shirt on
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you own two cars
And you need ten from me to buy drinks at the bar
(You're ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think that you're fly
But the home girls walk right by

Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think ya got clout
But your hair weave keeps fallin' out
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
(You're ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
Yo, you know you ghetto
When you bring home your boys
And your auntie's lookin' at your crew like they sex toys
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When your brothers paid from jugglin'
And you driving his Range, talking 'bout nigga we strugglin'
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya sittin' down in class
And dang, a cockroach went and crawled out ya book bag
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya tried to rap like DMX
And you get your breddren to do you video
Because you can't afford little X
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When rap is part of your dream
But you can't stay out past one 'cause your mom runs your street team
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya savin' to buy a key
But your grand pop is still on the corner pushin' that weed
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When you know you not Jamaican
But your clothes say Tommy Sean John nigga you fakin'
You're ghetto! You know you ghetto
When ya like every other brotha
Rappin' loud, walking down the street tryin' to be discovered
(You're ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think you a star
Flossin' on the street in the rental car
(You're ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are, when ya think that you?re nice
But the opposite don't look twice
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O

You know you ghetto when the money you got
Is a whole lot of ones stacked up to make a knot
You know you ghetto when you thinkin your a star
And your waiting at the back for drinks at the bar
You know you ghetto when think your number one with the flow
And you shoutin out yourself on the radio
You know you ghetto when the polo that you rock
Says Fruit Of The Loom on the label and on the top, nigga
You know you ghetto when you stuck inside a jail
Them Jordans on your feet costed more then your bail
You know you ghetto when you going on the creep
And your girl gotta wait for her children to fall asleep
You know you ghetto when you think you represent
But them niggas on your block aint spendin a red cent
Aint tryin to buy your album (nigga hell no!)
If you dubbin this right now 'stead of buyin the single your...
(You're Ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are
When ya think you a star
Flossin on the street in the rental car
(You're Ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are when ya think that your nice
But the opposite dont look twice
(You're Ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
(You're Ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
(You're Ghetto)
[Kardinal]
Yeah, check it, yeah
You know you ghetto when your boys push crack
And you buyin crack from them so you can go smoke out back
You know you ghetto when your moms part of your crew
And your grandmom is only 5 years older then you
You know you ghetto when I dont know who you are but nigga I know yo name
Cause I can read it on your chain
You know you ghetto when ya, signin along
And ya can relate to the rhyme I'm spittin in the song
You know you ghetto when ya best clothes, is your dress clothes
And your dress is blue jeans and chineese slippers, namean?
You know you ghetto when ya askin for cigarettes cause you cant afford hash
Mixed with that weed in your stash
You know you ghetto when you tryin to get your flirt on
And that cock blockin nigga has got the same damn shirt on
You know you ghetto when you own two cars
And you need ten for me to buy drinks at the bar
(You're Ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are when ya think that your fly
But the homegirls walk right by
(You're Ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are when ya think ya got clout
But your hair weave keeps fallin out
(You're Ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
(You're Ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
[Kardinal]
You check it,
You know you ghetto when you bring home your boys
And your moms lookin at your crew like they sex toys
You know you ghetto when your brothers paid for jugglin
and you drivin his beemer, talkin bout nigga we strugglin
You know you ghetto when ya sittin down in class
And dang, a cock roach went and crawled out ya bookbag
You know you ghetto when ya tried to sound like Lil Kim
And you went out soundin like Foxy
Oh wait a minute thats the same thing
You know you ghetto when rap is part of your dream
But you cant stay out past 1 cause your mom runs your street team
You know you ghetto when ya savin to buy a key
But your gradpop still on the corner pushin that weed
You know you ghetto when you know you not Jamaican
But your clothes say Tommy Illfiger, nigga you fakin
You know you ghetto when ya like every other brotha
Rappin loud, barkin down the street tryin to be the struggler
(You're Ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are
When ya think you a star
Flossin on the street in the rental car
(You're Ghetto)
Ghetto's what ya are when ya think that your nice
But the opposite dont look twice
(You're Ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
(You're Ghetto)
You're G to the H to the E to the T T O
[Kardinal Offishall]
Sweet Marie
CHORUS [Nicole Sinclair]
So sweet so sweet so sweet
Oh sweet Marie, Marie, Marie
So sweet so sweet so sweet
Oh come on, sweet Marie
So sweet so sweet so sweet
Yeah
So sweet so sweet so sweet
[Kardinal Offishall]
Sweetest Marie, it is to thee that I dedicate
Me, myself and I for all of eterni-tie
Without you I wouldn't have made it this far, this far
Tell me how to live right and how to live wrong too
But it only made me stronger
Wisest of wise enough, strongest of the strong
Now who love what I see
In life, before me, stands a headstrong woman
Overworked and underpaid, stress ridden
First class middle class person
Type rehearsing of your values
Made an easy path for me to be who I be (let's see)
One half of my creation, 100% Jamaican
50% T-dot, 50% not anything mentioned before
But pure unadulterated love
Even though sometimes I can't get down with your actions
I'm passing that, for the positive things that I see in you
Dedicated to the one sweet Marie
CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
Giving birth to a black man in this land
Is similar to angels being placed in the palm of the devil's hand
Corruption all around and surrounded by greed and lust
And trust (trust), that you will appear when the sun
But I am not one, all praises due to my mother
I love my father too, but sweet Marie there ain't no other
That show me more than you, how to stay out of the devil's reaches
Pushing me to profit, rocking funky in peaches
Society's leeches, teachers do yourself
And all your sister's need, in pursuit of higher wealth
Sweet Marie regardless of the treatment of your family
Despite of what you don't have, you'll always have me
'Cause me and you we're tight, you respect my life's path
When I'm in a position, in those who deserve it feel the wrath
Of disrespecting you, we have the highest principles of blood
It runs thicker than water, but hurts
That's when eye's blood, sweet Marie
CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
Staying at a friend's house, 'cause Hydro is not paid
Suffering in the dead of winter left dreaming of a grave
Or atleast someone to save, is the feelings I remember
Cold play in the Shakespeare on the Holy in December
Never lived in the ghetto but suffer the circumstance
Circumstantial evidence reveals the nature of my residence
My presence and present, is the love and strength of blackness
Fibers of a genocide and presence during Mantis(?)
Because of my Mom, I've experienced parts of life
My nigga could not relate to, but whose to shay that it's for better
Couldn't afford to buy me leather, but my body stayed warm
Couldn't afford to buy me diamonds, but I still had charm
She could afford to give me knowledge, and teach to speak truth
She taught me black lies were white reali-tie
Forever and a day gee, I will bleed for my family
F-O-S brothers and the one sweet Marie

[Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall]
Mi sing seh, Kardi Kardi, he likes to party
He cause nuff trouble, drinks a little bacardi
He's, just the man who's on the mic
And when he's walkin through a club he likes the skins tight
For all a y'all thinkin he rhymin well
It's just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cause it's cool when you cause a Kardi condition
To spread peace and love ay yo that's my mission
So a listen, a to what we say
Silverhouse makes the funky rhythms everyday
(Bounty Killer: That's Right)
I, wake up around eight O' clock in the morning
Practice all my verses cause we soon on tour and
Go to the bathroom to wash up
Thinkin 'bout the last female who just got stuck
And say, mirror mirror, on, the wall
I know I'm type fresh am I fresher than the mall?
Yes yes y'all, five minutes it lasted
My girls got my money like I'm Old Dirty Bastard
The vibe I spread not just for show
I get ew Kardinal steady runnin things, still
[Chorus: Bounty Killer]
Mi sing seh, when rudebwoy inna di place
Not a funny man can't chat inna mi face
Stand up for di people represent fi every race
Rockin to di rhythm and we bangin to di bass

Watch how di hot gal dem a whine up dem waist
Anywhere dem legal mi a follow di trace
Soap man a soap out fi deal with dem case
[Verse 2: Kardinal Offishall]
Yo! Yo! Yo! Bust the ill gramatics hip hop fanactics
Porno stars couldn't cd my tactics
Y'all might see me up on your MTV
So then F the president the government and the beast
We do the biznass while dealin with business
Doin pushups at your wife's house for fitness
And say I never been there and swear on the goodness
(Bounty Killer: That's Right!!!)
Some chickens callin me the royal hoodness
Put these rhymes in your magazine for measure
The triple XL wrapped strapped to give ya pleasure
Droppin some conscience thoughts and at leizures
Twistin theoretical thought patterns to seizures (Word)
Maneuverin mic mishaps to make some, classic type content
Cleanin up the fake out the average listener, lookin for the cursor
Look here, do I look like the average person?
Six foot four mom said don't talk to whores
Skettles are floozies my attitude's choosy
So speak up when your addressin the name
All I want the assets y'all keep the fame, still
[Chorus: Bounty Killer]
Mi sing seh, when rudebwoy inna di place
Not a funnyman can't chat inna mi face
Stand up fi di people represent fi every race
Rockin to di rhythm and we bangin to di bass
Mi sing seh, Killer Kardinal inna the place
Watch how di hot gal dem a whine up dem waist
Anywhere dem legal mi a follow di trace
Soap man a soap out fi deal with dem case
[Verse 3: Kardinal Offishall]
Yo yo yo yo!! Curse if you must cause my whole crew buss
So big that the streets nickname my mic notorious
Girls rush to try to blow us like dust
But we avoid the lust and remain like Cold Crush
My whole team victorious, old school like Amadeus at the Apollo
Pop lockin for Rollo sippin on the white bottle
Right from T Dot or peace tommorrow
But no squabble just necks gettin throttled
You thought it was a bottle it was just self control
From me knockin you the fuck out layin you out cold (God Damn!!!)
Stop talkin let your records do the walkin
While I'll be laid up in jamdown sylarkin
[Bounty Killer]
From Jamaica back to T Dot
Killer Kardinal a rip di place tell dem a we dat
Girls a scream and gallang like dem a idiot
We have dem weak and everybody see dat
Perfect lady mi a wonder if a she dat
Woman a mi dream this girl wanna be dat
Phat in her jeans Kardinal him would a squeeze dat
Put on di ring and di Killer nah go leave dat
I'm fallin, could you believe dat?
Everything she have fi offer mi waan retrieve dat
Fashion and mi love you know seh she gwaan receive dat
Legacy mi real estate she a achieve dat, you must believe dat
[Outro: Kardinal Offishall]
[Intro:]
Ohh Heh! (2x)
Ohh Ohh Ehh! (7x)
[Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall]
Yo! Im tryin not to wear three Xs no more
Its ok Kardinal stand 6′4
You can hear the insecurity in my voice right
I dont take my chain off on the mic
Its my security piece
It gives me security (security)
Im waiting for the ghetto to secure me
I just put away thirty percent for my taxes
Twenty for the feds, the rest under my mattress (Huh)
I gave my wallet a botox injection
A bunch a rude boyz ina your section
Tryna give my tax bracket an erection
A seventies entity girl look at my complexion
If you can smell my cologne, youre too close
You small time, my net what you make gross
Saturdays everyday when you from around my way
Im married to the life girl catch the bouquet
[Chorus: Kardinal Ofishall & Pusha-T]
Set It Off (Ohh Ohh Ehh!)
Fire Me Up (4x)
Hold It Down (Ohh Ohh Ehh!)
Yeah Thats It (4x)
[Verse 2: Pusha-T]
Pusha, Re-Up
Trend setter who been better than I
Comin through in the slim leathers thats followed by the fives
Me and my niggas call the coupe Jekyl and Hyde
Coz the roofs on and offs like they in and out of their minds
Eggshell pale teeter-totter on the scale
The oh-nines is out and I aint waiting on a deal
The same time the mothafuckers bargaining and lawyering
That coke money just keep pouring in and pouring in
Quarter millie bling-bling, Thats the price of fame lame
I should have a title and a D.E. on the chain man
Re-up Gang pyrex over pyro
Stir it till its hard, Pop it out, let it dry slow
Recipe for greatness me and Kardial nigga taste this
You fucking with the A-list. face it.
Nigga this tha swag four-eighty-five hangin off my ass
We call it Frivolous cash (What the fuck)
[Chorus]
Set It Off (Ohh Ohh Ehh!)
Fire Me Up (4x)
Hold It Down (Ohh Ohh Ehh!)
Yeah Thats It (4x)
[Verse 3: Malice]
Malice
Superstar Like Lupe
See me in the coupe hot damn Its a new day
I remove the roof as if its a toupe
To shed light on the jewels, viewed in blu-ray
High definition
I get cash
Two-twenty on the dash and a self start ignition
Tola dont love me but she keep insisting
Brain so good its hard to keep my distance
Red carpet entrance play clothes fashion
Nose in the air I smell a Chanel Platinum
Re-Up is the gang, I rep with a passion
Till the wheels fall off and it all come crashing
Malice with Mr. Kardinal
Behind dark tint like we on the prowl
Nothing like money make a bitch loose her blouse
Well done homie, we rich, take a bow.
[Chorus: Kardinal Ofishall & Pusha-T]
Set It Off (Ohh Ohh Ehh!)
Fire Me Up (4x)
Hold It Down (Ohh Ohh Ehh!)
Yeah Thats It (4x)
[Outro:]
Ohh Heh! (2x)

INTRO [Kardinal Offishall]
Life X3
It's life y'all, life
Word up, life
Uh, can you feel it?
Life
Life, we bring you in the light like this
CHORUS [Jully Black]
Life is so sweet, thank the Lord for my days
Oh, I'm living for today, life might be here went away
Life is so sweet, thank the Lord for my days
Oh, I'm living for today, life might be here went away
[Kardinal Offishall]
Lordy lordy, you took another body
But he didn't cause trouble, didn't bother nobody
He was, just a man trying to rock the mic
But a bullet took his life, aw man
Now my breadren eternally is wearing a dress suit with a shiny shoe
Far stretched from a Gortex don't you think?
I did, now all my man sees is eyelids
Dreams turned into seven, prayers closer to Heaven
Left his baby mother two weeks overdue
Now the two join him, so what side it's truth
Manifiested, because the bless-ed seem to go first
Experience afterlife, the first light since birth
Since we live amoung demons also known as Government
Gangsters⦠and hookers made to walk the cement
But I (I), Kardinal know the true flow
I have no enemies, but every nigga is a foe
And that's life
CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, life is what you do, choices between your crew or your girl
I say f- the both of them and struggle solo
Or so I tend to seek a bend in the road of life, mode of trifeness
As brothers I was running with, dead and walking lifeless
See the niceness is what you should be seeking
When you... on the streets and the madness is peaking
And you... should sit back and recollect
Whether your self worth is in your hard work or a piece of leather
More niggas worship idle Gods and call themselves what they pray to
I sit back and meditate to clear my mind off all external pressure
Sometimes pleasure of the body makes my mental feel lesser
Guilt's a bitch when living for now instead of for the scripture
But your afterlife will catch up with your Mister or misses kisses
When I get you in my will and test the money, I find it funny
Since I'm broke in the soul, my spirit's searching for longevity
Ducking from stray shots is taking the best of me
But I will maintain, success has a stain upon my brain
What you make will remain, and that's life
CHORUS
[Jully Black]
Life's so sweet
You gotta thank the Lord for life
You gotta thank the Lord for life
[Kardinal Offishall]
I want to be there to see the eyes of my baby girl
Born into the world of chaos, money, AIDS and violence
Silence breaks my concentration in my private world
Organize, organize so I can flex with my boys
Inside the lance will corrupt, trying to stick you for nothing
Greed, sloth and five others are fillling up my brohters
Word up
Enemy is becoming a part of me and I'm all shooting glocks is making the block hot
Spots rock, 'cause niggas realize in between their finger
Thinking buring completes the circle of being a rap singer
The slogan used to be Just Say No, but now just say yo!
And you as high as the sky go
Imagine my mother said turn the other cheek
But nowadays that will get you sprayed on your back you'll lay
If I can't trust you, then unity never will exist
It's the gritty quoted, yes it's just the life in the city
Word life
Wild time live
[Incomprehensible]
Yo big tune
For Mr. B
Aiyyo my eastside people let me hear yo

Yo, making the money 'cause, yo, that's the solution
Yo, they won't hire my brothers to work 9 to 5
So instead of suicide, we husslin' to stay alive
My peeps don't wanna live off of them government checks
So we take the street, we gotta beat
And make 'em move to the beat
Your gun finger in the air for prisoners on lock
Your gun finger in the air for revolution pawn cock

No chatter, long term doesn't matter baby mama
'Nuff drama she wants her new Guess vest
She's husslin' me to impress, she want child support
But my seed has never ever seen his daddy before
She said, if I don't go her the loot
She'll take me to court
Tell the police on the side I'm makin' fake passports
Aiyyo who's husslin' who? The politicians or the criminals
Herb husslers or smugglers, record labels or rap
Yo, can I get a soul clap?
Words are infinite
Rhymes are untouchable, in the skies are the limit
Yo, some people husslin' because then cant make rent
They 9 to 5 makin' them 95 dollars and 10 cents
Yo people all around the world
They husslin' to stay alive
When ya hussle do it for the eye and I
Husslin', husslin', yo
Aiyyo my people in the streets
Husslin', husslin', yo
B-Boys from West to East

[Saukrates]
I ain't spittin', I hock a luggy
This ain't no motherfu---- verse, I write movies
Picture this, how a nigga get sicker than itchy syphilis
Burn radio waves 'til I hit your bitch Christmas list
Ha, I drop rocks like a fifty cent piece from Terror's twenty
Aimed at your Bentley son
Number one when my shard be blast
Mix with hash, made your heart beat fast
[Kardinal Offishall]
Back at your ass in full flash
Come to mash every last class of (emcee)
Pass the baton when I get on
And go on until I got it on
Spark it up and inhale this (emcee)
Masterly, masterfully I be the (emcee)
So many can't rock the mic, so they hold the glock tight
And I give thanks I wasn't born a sucker
Pucker for this hard fist lyricist
'Nuff butter like BBJ's grocery list
[Saukrates]
Yo, hoes be this hoes be that
Bet if I flash this watch my nigga, that hoe be back
And I ain't even rocking a Rolly or fronting with cash
I'm at the bar with George Costanza arguing for tax
The first to let you know, get some flood insurance
It ain't a rare occurrence when I overflow
You'll be backstrokin' from Alaska to Oakland
When me and my Circle be in a yacht... (floating) *echo*
CHORUS [YLook] {Saukrates} (Kardinal)
You know this money man
Got us acting funny man
We sick of living crummy man
We got to get this money man

(Real figures by the thousands), {got, got to get it}
(Big stacks for the family), {got, got to get it}
(Big tunes playing annually), {got, got to get it}
[Kardinal Offishall] {Saukrates}
Yo, easy rude bwoy, give me a little second to breeze through
We make the track jump, so it's hard to roll trees to
No matter give me no daps nigga, I ain't trying to please you
Want to flow with me, can't afford the fees duke
Claiming street raps when Jeff Healey could see through
Your wonder bra rah rah, {garbage like bad pot}
Go ahead like punk trick and watch where you land
I'm a shady black slim, you a nigga I can't stand
Move! kid, this some celebrity next shit
Step up and watch the next celebrity hanging by they necklace
Peasants! Think about what you getting into
We hardcore, bump those little fist fights we've been through
We done did it, never mind can or can do
We trying to make it easier for our fam to Land Cruise
You sell the same weed at the same spot
We graduated to the high grade lyrics pon cock
[Saukrates] {Kardinal}
I've been autobahn rhyme ever since primetime
Saw George and Wheezy sipping on fine wine
The ghetto scream {rewind} like daylight savings time
Bring it back, firing legal hollows out the Ac'
{Who's that?} MC's of leisure, Sauk and Kardinal
We bring the ebony stone, now watch me carve it out
Bump my shit in tenement housing
It's a vocal revolution for 2000... "1!"
CHORUS
[KO] Ayo, you better come strapped when we attack
[S] 'Cause only strapped cats have a shot at the rap
[KO] Bullet holes in the map leave a trail to where we at
But stop short of we
[S] We got them sucking the bowl like they speaking Portuguese
So bitch freeze, your motivation evident
Rhymes milky, chocolate has heaven sent
[KO] Ayo, I'm older now, arguing with back clerks
And presidents and crack heads smoking too close to the residence
What!

Yo, big Sox, Kardinal Offishall
Circle IV, big YLook, cousin Spoke
Let the motherfu---- beat ride
Alright, yo, I'm bust
I'ma kill it, I'ma kill it
Here we go, here we go, yo
My flow is like a cock block for your whole label street team
My verse is like a hearse for your marketing scheme
My whole steez, nigga, please, put the mic down
Talk about your represent when you embarrassing your town
Walking around with the Gay Pride parade crown
Silicone raps underneath that pink gown
Posing as a killer when you living as a clown
Entertaining A&R;'s too deaf to hear the sound
You are a has been rapper, talking 'bout your style's nice
Saying, ?I'm independent now, looking for a new life?
A weak DJ, living off of 80's fame
Guess starring in the basement, living off of Tigga's name
My name's Kardinal, the pearl mic dark figure
Diploma type thoughts mixed up with street niggas
Living underground trying to earn the pop loot
'Cause I won't sell crack and got no aim to shoot
No patience for the weed, not quick enough to thief
Can't pimp, don't like fur coats or gold teeth
But I can rock the hell out of a fat ass beat
I might smile up in your face and then jack your SP
Yo, I'm ill to the 7th degree
T-dot represent, ya hearing me?
(Go ahead den)
Yo, I'm the nicest rapper dapper with flows
You don't know how a fire starter go
(Go ahead den)
Yo, lick two, chart off in the sky
A make way when I'm stepping in the room
(Go ahead den)
Yo, eff rappers, I'm the hardest thing on two feet
Y'all have seen me, ya not seen
(Go ahead den)
Yo, my rhymes are FedEx covered in latex delivered to your Jubby
My charms tribes quest for hot sex, no bust for the next can protect
See when the I drop, the niggas saying, 'what?'
And the skins are saying wet, wet, wet, wet, wet
I'm dripping in 'nuff girls and missing what we trying to say
But talking about a revolution, end up talking about the day
When they can feel a rapper's privates, I'm looking for your mind
But I'm seeing all your titties and a big round behind
Oh, damn girl, you make think 'bout selling out
But oops, your weave just fell out
I am straight from the place that first brought you Vince Carter
The story of Hurricane and imported sugar cane
And snappy pop coming at you three for a dollar
What, Peter loves who? Yo, don't bother to hail it up
In the streets where we meet 'cause you might get beat
And find your head caught between timbos and concrete
And that's real, a lot of ignorant peeps around the way
Ain't trying to bend over to the madness of the day
But do what to do, ayyo, who am I to say?
I just want your records sales anyway
You see me
Someone kill to try and come up
With the things that I say, I'm a bad mother, yo
(Go ahead den)
I'm too fresh like Guess-V in a special way
Special way but everyday
(Go ahead den)
Yo, yo, I'm kick another one
Another one for the mic
Know what I'm saying?
Yo, I'm rolling through my hood system waking up the neighbors
Hell yeah, I know it's wrong but I gotta pump my song
Heavier rotation than Sisqo and Thong Song
I'm the perfect combination of Einstein and Long Dong Silver
Up in one, kick real raps for fun
I'm the black anti-Babylon, rapping shogun
I try not to bus' until I'm sure she cum
If I get a little itch, I check out the whole [Incomprehensible]
My tongue is like an instant check for 7-0's
Write about this, rhyme something about the hoes
Anyways I try to uplift but not too serious yet
Because too much to say makes the Negro's a threat
So we talk about sex and promote the drug game
Even though we know it's wrong, we just trying to make a name
Cha, I'm trying to get my Moms out the ghetto
And you would too if you could flow, stupid
I'm ill to the 7th degree
T-dot represent, ya hearing me
(Go ahead den)
Yo, I'm the nicest rapper dapper with flows
You don't know how a fire starter go
(Go ahead den)
Yo, lick two, chart off in the sky
A make way when I'm stepping in the room
(Go ahead den)
Yo eff rappers, I'm the hardest thing on two feet
Y'all have seen me? Ya not seen
(Go ahead den)
hey (hey) hey (hey) hey
radio killer
hey yo i thought i could take her, g's full of paper
everything everything little party coundn't brake her,
meet her on a plane going straight to jamaica
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets, in the streets
My God it's a beautiful day to just sit and enjoy blue skies
And all the brothers in the streets gettin' high
Give thanks for your life because yo things will change
Ghetto people suffering will soon in-herit the game
The last will come first and the first will come last
And the good will take a seat in the holiest of mass
And blast out the world sin, hard times we living in
I am trying to do the best I can living with my breddrens
The world is filled with negative and positive
Never judge a man what he is is what he is
And I am an ill bro blessed with an ill flow
With an opportunity to rep the T-dot O
And try to spread some of the blessings, lyrical dressings
And I am guessing that your listening to what I am addressing
Especially since I'm rhymiing from my heart
Trying to supress the craziness before it even starts
Yo every gun man has to have a soft spot
Every thug nigga has gotta have some heart
It's these things that I hold to be true
So I don't have to pray that they won't blast you
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets, in the streets
Yo, I was touched by the real the other day
If my pops was here he would tell me enjoy every single day
And support your family 'cause blood comes first for real
Nevermind about trying to sign a deal
Just do what you gotta do and do it like the best
Even when it seems that people C-Bn' for no reason
Don't study the treason, function like a G'
And with that, the world is ready steady f-ing with me
Admiring who I be, I take it as flattery
I must exemplify just what it is to be an emcee
I breathe in the tragedy and breathe out a song of hope
Free from government, politics, lies, plus the Pope
The 5.0 sells dope, police make nuff sales
We're taken out of the hood and locked up with no bail
But either way we get out and try to turn it around
You can't see it but you feel it in the sound, you know dat
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets, in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets, in the streets
I'm not a reverend, a preacher, V.P. or teacher
But still I gotta reach and none can impeach
But the most high spiritual, virtually physical
Higher power more than capable to make miracle
In every black home and in every jail cell
And in everyone of us to let the righteous set sail
And accept positioning, whether you a Christian
A Jew, or Muslim, yo have faith in him
The G's in the street know what I'm talking about
The man dem on the corner, surviving with no doubt
The kids in the park trying to keep things real
Yo, who don't hear muss feel? You know that
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets, in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets, in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
And walk that big walk in the streets
If everyone could see just how I see
They'd function like a G'
It's why I look, baby
Sup, potna, you know the sauve dogs up on this joint

But we all steady prepared in our circle for conversation
Many things, sauve and butter

Yo, here the other day I was walking on the E-W right

Yo, check it out, you I can tell them, you know what I'm saying
(What you say?)
Yo yo yo, check it out yo
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo niggas be crazy to pass me, last seed to see me
Saw me before he was his rap dream die with all of his team
Yo F.O.S. niggas scheme on how to infiltrate a milly stock
Mooch or cream silly, go for delf
What you like how we go back to Cali, kick a suede walking billy
Hoes like big Willy in their Pelle Pelle Pelle
Fonzarelli, I burn niggas
Roll with the do anything to earn niggas
You learn niggas, F.O.S. don't pull triggers
We pull out a stack and pay a nigga to make you die quicker
Rolling in Sauk's Acura
Dial the cellular, to the G-man
Contemplate D-plan, make everything swing
None of the Circle will sing a song sweet to the po-po
It's a vision in four or four straight because nobody know where you go
Try breakfast in a Hugo, large to meet your crew
Your life has left the Earth without a Clue Clue
CHORUS 1 [Kardinal Offishall]
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Ayo my Circle gets down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"

Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Ayo my team gets down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
[Kardinal Offishall]
Word, this is for my brother in my Circle (niggas)
F.O.S. Paranormal Circle (niggas)
You pull the trigger, I pull the caps
Flow gas plus the ass, you think it won't go so
Just ask Ro Ro, Lockjaw or Abie, Buck tooth or Mobb
Chiggy Chase or Kay Bee
Who got that Swazy flow, kind of style?
Ask any nigga living, they'll say Offishall
Get files the IRS couldn't capture
Rapture like Anita, prophylactics like Bonita
Bet ya my OSAP, K-A will meet a face within ten days of grace
Deep like bass, watch these rap niggas get all up in your tonsil
With us nigga, you'll be Mourning like Alonzo
Think it won't happen, Offishall don't bluff
Step inside my Circle and we'll show how ruff
And it's on
CHORUS 2 [Kardinal Offishall]
Yo my team gets down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"

Yo my team gets down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
Down to da "Brown Brown Brown"
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, each and every day my crew gets better
You pull a fast one, I'll pull the leather
Interior, inferior, efforts make the next nigga superior
You'll soon see the next contest to get flipped with the quickness
Quickness of the bush makes it easy to push
Feel the inside while I ride it like a yazoo(?) car
Like high school I get high, rub the sternum like Mackie
Reality do or die, you or I is the styli
Try to diamond mind, surely you will be found
In a pine boxes with quilted lining, huh
Shining from the North Star, breaking concentration like the hyman
It's all about timing, rhyming in the cut
Yo what you thinking you proving by your feet not moving
While you play the plaster, me holding up the walls
I be on the dance floor with your girl up on my...
CHORUS 2
[Kardinal Offishall]

Gangsta - I hear dem likkle punks

(Kevin Rudolf)
I see your dirty face hide behind your collar.
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow.
So you pray to God to justify the way
you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie.
And you take your time.
And you do your crime.
Well you made your bed.
I'm in mine.
Because when I arrive,
I-I bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I can take you higher.
What this is?
Forgot?
I must now remind you.
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock.
Now the son's disgraced, he who knew his father.
When he cursed his name, turned and chased the dollar.
But it broke his heart so he stuck his middle finger
to the world, to the world, to the world.
And you take your time.
And you stand in line
where you'll get what's yours,
I got mine.
Because when I arrive,
I-I bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I can take you higher.
What this is?
Forgot?
I must now remind you.
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock.
(Lil' Wayne)
Yeah!
Wayne's World.
Planet Rock.
Panties drop,
and the tops.
And she gon' rock 'til the camera stop.
I sing about angels like Angela.
(Rock)
And Pamela.
(Rock)
And Samantha.
(Rock)
And Amanda.
And Tamara.
Ménage à moi, oh.
In here like, "Bitch, what's up?"
Me-chanic me, I can fix ya up.
I can dick ya up,
I can dick ya down.
Shorty we can go where ever,
just pick a town.
And my jewelry is louder than the engine sound.
Big ass rocks like on the ground,
Dirty like sex that's on the ground.
Weezy.
(Kevin Rudolf)
Because when I arrive,
I-I bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I can take you higher.
What this is?
Forgot?
I must now remind you.
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock.
Because when I arrive,
I-I bring the fire.
Make you come alive,
I can take you higher.
What this is?
Forgot?
I must now remind you.
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock.
Just let it rock (rock, rock)
Let it rock.
Let it rock.
(Lil' Wayne)
I'm back like I forgot somethin',
I'm somethin'.
Roll and rock rubbin' rap, runnin'
miles like just tryin' to get a flat stomach.
Like Wayne a personal trainer.
My aim is perfect, I bang ya,
period, like the remainder.
(Kevin Rudolf)
I wish I could be as cruel as you.
I wish I could say the things you do.
But I can't and I won't live a lie.
[Kardinal Offishall]
I just started, just finished
Lyrics complete the circle of a rap singer
Combine with feeling mean and plus a reason
And to rock it for the season
And niggas on the lookout
Take away your strips of General status, baddest
Always move them anyways
Creep only when I attack my rap squad are fake Gods
Faker than their tongue, strung out
From the tongue out bring out fraudulence
To the audience 'cause they are conveyors of pestilence
Maintenance is heaven sent (sense)
The pretense, I blow up to create a science based on reliance
In fact, you will agree, that it is to be a real emcee
Such as he who's I, clear the third eye to reveal I
I remain the high emcee, the Kardinal, Mr. Ritchie
Niggas in control over and above thee
Took the lyricy, for I will be the nigga to lead
The sea of lost souls to see the light
Forever in the night time
Write rhymes, lock lines, lyrical stop signs
Making mental envision the precision and quick to descend
The decision, is yours I go on the drink Coors
And rock encores for packed floors, yo
We keep moving
CHORUS [Denosh] (Saukrates-background)
Keep on moving (keep moving, don't stop (don't stop it)
Keep rocking (keep rocking y'all)
Keep on moving (keep moving, don't stop (don't stop it)
Keep rocking (keep rocking y'all)
[Kardinal Offishall]
On some new stuff
The native son like Richard Pryor
'Cause we move ta, your expeditions must be tight
I light a torch and look at a tunnel
'Cause brothers are after what they can see
So when I make your moves, yo they be after me
And my entourage, will flexes connects your mind
With a cause, some will kill for a yard
Hard is the state of my people nowadays
Slinging rock can change a man's mind many ways
When are you seen as a dollar for a killing
Killing for a dollar is as easy as the rhyme scheme of Top Billin'
Making a million itch, a billion itch
Where niggas they be building itch, to chill and itch
For the future, the new world order
I'm showing you that I will be ordering itch
Inside the new world, doing what I got to do to make Brown for my seeds
I will bleed before a man tries to make a step outta me
Function on higher levels like a Shoalin Priest on Hydro
I can see time flies yo
So when we making moves, you either with me
Yo what skills you lack so weak niggas step back and keep moving
CHORUS
In the midst like Betty Crocker, once said by God's son
Twice spoken by Kardinal, ooh, check how I flow
So many niggas up inside the Circle without purpose, singing with the F
To the train trying to fat up their purses
Prophecy disperses like some oil inside of water
Niggas prepare of the slaughter, overseen like a father
?????? like a white collar crime
Up in the blue collar world
That's why I wear a mandarin to avoid the sin
Niggas of the F.O.S., we the monopoly
The Trivial Pursuit of making loot, they never stopping me
But one day I will make a G, times I buy another G
Mr. Super road in life, manager troop
Back with the Figures Of...
I'm hailing up the fifty herbs, stale in the house
And some people think it's shitty that I rock and it's a pity
You know the busi-ness, while I'm riding in my auto breathing L and drinking Guinness
Keep moving
CHORUS X2
[Saukrates]
I got honeys in the room getting it on
And they ain't leaving 'til six in the morning
T-dot O-dot
Feel it, uh
INTRO [Kardinal Offishall]
Don't make me laugh
You must be crazy
Turn this up
[Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, kill that, kill that before I Capitol Hill that
Do that track and I'm bound to counterattack you
Where they at? Bring it back, beat it, move it over here
Move it, do it like we know it could be done
Could you (mettle us), mettle fame cream by my team seem
Make a wrong move and I'mma make your blood prove that
They can get down to rock (what?), rock the role
So take it from the move faker (what?)
Check the skull for lyrical incision into your brainwave
The same name that I made in this game, put shame to your name
Attempted to rock in the same rank, as I fly six footer
Beef looter, rhyme shooter, style maker
Girl taker, bread maker, for shaker, dead waker
Cream faker, Earthquaker, headacher
Make you want to visit the lab again, check the drawing board
With the rhythmn as a shield and the mic as a sword
CHORUS
** Laughter **
"Oh yeah" **echoed**
"You make me.." **laughter**
"Oh yeah" **echoed**
"Get on it"
"You make me.." **laughter**
"Oh yeah" **echoed**
"You make me.." **laugther**
"Oh yeah" **echoed**
"Get on it" **echoed**
[Kardinal Offishall]
Theoretical arts of my mind burns onto loose leaf
Third dimensional verse put walkman on curves
Microscopic techniques plain as day for you to see
Mental cataclysm, smoked out brown physicalism
Is it I? The kardinal pulling your string
Nigga do, niggas say, check who you be, nigga
Could you figure the trigger finger could be the key to lock thee
Own your own soul, taken for faking the funkorama
Be I see drama on the daily
Not anything I can't handle, bitch
So should you, or your crew could get f----- up by one dub
And all my niggas want love
Witness the star toucher, I bust a
Scream for my team that's guaranteed to make your eyes scream
You scream, we all scream, when faced with Armageddon
When my empire strikes back, return of the Jedi
Don't make me laugh
1/2 CHORUS
[Kardinal Offishall]
I'm your idol, the highest title, numero uno
Not a Puerto Rican, but I love the Chiquitas
Meeting behind the speakers, each and every week
This old freak named Nikita wants the Kardinal to be the face sit
You'll get dis-graced kid
Cut, bug up you and your baby because I blew
Up the spot, Carl P gave me a clue
Now we rocking 1-0-8 down to 88 point negative 2, ewe
Big up the Offishall gal crew, it's Mr. Richie if you never knew
Now you know, so ho, don't disrupt the flow
'Cause I'll make your little sister turn pro
Don't make me laugh
[Intro: Eminem]
good morning
Haha, wake your mother fuckin asses up
You with us or what?
Well come on then, you know what time it is
Stop sleepin on my group bitch!
[Verse 1: Eminem]
For whatever it's worth it's worth me havin my ass whipped
Cause I'ma have da last lips to ever kiss ass with ( kiss )
I just can't get past these little pissants
That wanna be rauny bad asses so bad
And they so mad they can't stand it
Cause we can and they can't spit (Haawk)
And they can't handle it like a man
And that's when it just happens
And I snap and it's a wrap, and it's a scrap an then it isn't rap is it?
Hip-Hop isn't a sport anymore when you got to go and resort back into that shit
Maybe I'm old fashioned but my pashion
Is to smash anyone rappin without havin a slappin
Believe me I'd much rather pick up a pencil than a pistol but I'm pissed now
But it all depends on just how far it get's took on the mic
Cause I'm tellin you right now your not gonna like it
Cause if I get pushed over the edge then I'm pullin you with me
You poke a stick at a pitbull you get bit B
These words stick to you like crazy glue
When you diss me cause they just bounce off me like bullets do fifty!
I'm the beatiful-est thing and your gonna miss me when I'm gone
Like Kieth Murry when he threw a stool and hit a girl acci-dently (argghhh!!)
I do this with Swifty, Kon and Kuniva, Bizzy & Proof are you with me?
[Chorus: Eminem]
Good mornin' everybody good mornin'
Kick your shoes off mother fuckers come on in
Cause we get it on until the break of dawn an
Wake your ass up motherfuckers quit yawnin
Cause we ain't leavin till 6 in the mornin
So have a sing along with the words to the song an
If you don't know the words and you can't sing along then
Fake like you know 'em motherfucker an join in
Everybody good mornin'
[Verse 2: Swifty]
Its in the media pitted me of a beef starter
In a party with heat it's hard to keep me without one
Fuck snubs I'm walkin clubs with a shotgun
Constantly popin slugs they hot son, better not run
The bosses of all bosses a haluocaust to whoever ain't concious
In a house full of dark shit,
I'ma gothic death prophet, you stop breathin
You die quicker than mach speed without bleedin
It ain't about what you readin
When you meet me better speak like a season's greetins
Either that or we'll be beefin free when
You niggaz need a 'E' just to speak shit!
Your leader is a botique bitch
Keep the heater where you can reach quick
I snipe you with it and we won't even keep it a secret
Nigga I did it from a mind of a mental patient
When glocks wave you can save that conversation for satan
You brave?
[Chorus: Eminem]
Good mornin' everybody good mornin'
Kick your shoes off mother fuckers come on in
Cause we get it on until the break of dawn an
Wake your ass up motherfuckers quit yawnin
Cause we ain't leavin till 6 in the mornin
So have a sing along with the words to the song an
If you don't know the words and you can't sing along then
Fake like you know 'em motherfucker an join in
Everybody good mornin'
[Verse 3: Kon Artis]
Yo yo I heard you niggas don't like us
But so what this beef is like
'What the fuck did he say in his rap Em?'
I can see that he's just a punk
I mean these niggaz squeeze on me
Please I'm seeing guts
I don't need no enemies, as my family a couple trucks
Am I empty seein them white I emtpy out them white to fight you
In front of every reporter that I don't like
No need for metaphores I get yours across when I write
So emotions enough to say "fuck you bitch, shit I don't like you, WHAT!"
I might as well give this up like heavy sales
And just fuck an leave D12 and this blunt
We can't self destruct
I've never felt it this much
Come on fellas, get up
We got to fight like Bugs last night of his life come on
[Verse 4: Kuniva]
I walk with a limp, pistol hangin off-a the hip
I'm awkward and quick enough an sick when sparkin a fith
Your carcus is split even the beef is partially thick
We can't take you serious, you a comedy skit
You probaly wish that you could be out shootin them G's
But the only thing you shoot is the breeze
I can't believe you speaking on movin key's
But every time we hear you kick it
The only thing that you sellin is wolf tickets
I look wicked cause niggas will test your nut sack
So when they bust you better bust back
And get your guts clapped outa your stomach
And when they want it (yeah)
I bring a hundred niggas from runave
So get to gunnin' and if you comin
[Chorus: Eminem]
Good mornin' everybody good mornin'
Kick your shoes off mother fuckers come on in
Cause we get it on until the break of dawn an
Wake your ass up motherfuckers quit yawnin
Cause we ain't leavin till 6 in the mornin
So have a sing along with the words to the song an
If you don't know the words and you can't sing along then
Fake like you know 'em motherfucker an join in
