A virtuoso (from Italian virtuoso, Late Latin virtuosus, Latin virtus meaning: skill, manliness, excellence) is an individual who possesses outstanding technical ability in the fine arts, at singing or playing a musical instrument. The plural form is either virtuosi or the Anglicisation, virtuosos, and the feminine form sometimes used is virtuosa. Virtuosi are often musical composers as well. During the age of Baroque music many composers were also virtuosi on their respective instruments.[citation needed]
Music in the Western civilization by Piero Weiss and Richard Taruskin gives the following definition of virtuoso:
The defining element of virtuosity is the performance ability of the musician in question, who is capable of displaying feats of skill well above the average performer. Musicians focused on virtuosity are commonly[vague] criticized for overlooking substance and emotion in favor of raw technical prowess. Despite the mechanical aspects of virtuosity, many virtuosi successfully avoid such labels[vague]. Once[vague] more commonly applied in the context of the fine arts, the term has since evolved[citation needed] and can now also simply mean a 'master' or 'ace' who excels technically within a particular field or area of human knowledge—anyone especially or dazzlingly skilled at what they do.
childhood started with a smile good
back when dad had a little dough and still lived in my hood
before the coke sniffing episodes
back then he broke shit when letting go, packing the smoke in his
leather though, it helped him calm down but I let it go
cause I know he didnt mean to let mom down
they went a long round I lay by the night light
daddy gone now I know that something aint quite right
summers in dominican republic playing baseball
and I used to love it outside living rugged
bugging all fun and games, my cousin said its all gonna change
once you get tall and come of age
getting play in the seventh grade
no one worried bout getting AIDS , getting a job or getting paid
ya'll come with me lemme take a trip
as I reminisce, upon my childish innocence
[Hook]
"puffin L's laid back enjoying the smell" I take another hit
cause it aint hard to tell
lord forgive me if I reminesce , while I sit and wish, we wasnt living so devilish. [x2]
Started high school as a young high fool
writing graffitti dodging needy cats with nine tools
skipping class, rolling spliffs with hash
trying ta get some ass with my grades slipping fast
couldnt get my thoughts tight, cause my karma was not right
my man cut a brother arm like butter on a hot knife
I saw white meat and start to shiver by the Charles River
where we all would tip the bottle sip and scar our liver
we would play hard, party at the grave yard
way far up at the tower dodging the late guard
poly with a "J" sparked , head at JFK park
put nutrition in the brains of chickens till they smart
and even friends fall apart so are they fam?
life is hard dog your gone if you dont make plans
so lets shake hands and wish, while I reminisce
over beef know that we can settle this
[Hook x4]
Since I hit twenty-one, lifes gotten funny son
wherever the money come, thats where all the honeys run
nobody is friends and if they are it's probably pretend
a plot for some ends, for cash cats body they men
one love to Benny Rosa shot him and then, shot up his friend
bodies have been, buried never saw them again
damn I get worried cause Jeff Curly met his death early
how many people dying why and who's the next thirty
Cambridge rep for me, open up my chest fully
heart on my lapel, it's so hard being Miguel
to see you gelatin, see through irrelevant
feeble intelligence, people thats selling hits
while my raps slave to grind the cats made to rhyme
we pass major minds with cash made in time
but until this yo I still wish
as I chill and reminisce that we wasn't livin' so devilish
Am I advanced life form or primitve animal
I bite brains like hannibal, brandish two, spiked head crowbars to hammer you
I'm tyrannical, on the rhythm I'm mechanical
natural antidote sanicle, hydro-botanical
I spin records like dreidels in tornados
so play those on turntables the crematorium burn labels
your hilarious, your position is precarious
I'm nefarious, spread malaria through areas
snipe your alias, if your life is vicarious
tight lariats on your skull pulled by chariots
with various, violent yanks the heretic
start tearing it, off your shoulders to bury it
slash fangs beyond your gangleon
a christ like life except the mic is the cross that they hang me on
your satan, a comedian, split you like a median
volcanically erupt and spit obsedian
vs. simpletons virt's power is olympian
no minion, can enter my flow dominion
cantibridgian, smash legs I'll wreck your knee on
a spiked mace thats shaped like a decahedron
I bust open men so much blood flowing them
need a custodian, just to get hold of them
mop your intestines, off the marble after I carve you
make you gargle my flow thats as harmful as car fuel
catapulting fire and liquid metal like Vulcan
mics I handle those like Michaelangelo sculpting
the emulsion of my flow it be pulsing
smash skulls in, leading to your souls expulsion
my compusions, to cause a violent divulsion
of your dome from your shoulders with my molten propulsion
resulting in your torso on the floor in convulsions
while your head drips red in the claws of the sultan
[Hook: cuts]
The weak lyric discriminator the beat bigot
let the record rotate like a pivot
I shine like a gold ingot
control the flow like a spigot, come swig it
then fill your grave after I dig it
I'm back thru divine intervention, resurrection
my pencil lead ejection will split your head into sections
I'm projecting no contesting
my progress in sound degrees with my boundary transgression
lesson, men walk on blood cause it's thicker than water
wanna understand the scripture come and sit with the author
I'm a deity, I suggest you express peity
essence I'm omnipresent the lesson there's no secrecy
omnificient, omniscient, omnipotent
I'm my only critic of course gods a hypocrite
it's unclear how your parliament, could resist my armament
I'm bombing it now, no time to ponder it
it's ominous like the prediction of a comet hit
it's obvious my flow is bottomless, yours is homogenous
society's shaped by economists
I fondle it in erogenous manners then mold it into a monolith
the consequence is unification of continents
with constant common sense and communicatory competence
I'm unilateral, I don't care who it matters to
I'll soon splatter you, by the full moon stabbing you
V's degree's Ph D, professional heart dismantler
part-man part-tarantula
harpy handler my hearts a sampler
shark philanderer my parts the chancellor
the literator the originator your an imitator
just a simulator powered by my generator
the terminator vindicator get a respirator and defibrillator
if you battle the incinerator!!
one night I laid down and turned the lights out
next thing I know I'm awake in the white house
only a few feet away from the president
who's giving answers to reporters while they question his
foreign policy his stand on ecology
the war on poverty and his plan for the economy
and as the camers focuses nobody notices
my form crouched underneath a desk motionless
then he told them its time for action
and he doesn't care who's willing to back him
he's attacking for the AMerican dream
plans for blasting at the terror regime
prepared it would seem to spend dough on more weapons
he said no more questions rose and walked past
fingers crossed heard him laugh then he saw me it seems
and whispered..........
(even if you kill me I'll still be in your fuckin' dreams......)[repeat]
a couple nights with my alarm set for ten I've gone
to sleep in my bed then woke up in the pentagon
in the basement, adjacent to the war room
by the general's chair, where they're planning your doom
saying civilian casualties are a small price
for killing their faculty to get oil and gas for free
the president said these Muslim's practice blasphemy
if I don't blast them first they coming after me
ain't notice me, talking openly bout smoking three
world leaders and covering paw prints of perverts
wearing rosaries, it's like a spells holding me
controlling me, forcing me to see the sights that they're showing me
talking bout blowing these, countries off the map
rockets smoke 'em openly, cause we got the gats
leaned back in his chair stared at me it seems and said........
(even if you kill me I'll still be in your fuckin' dreams.......)
some nights when I drift into dream
this is the scene, I wake up a killer marine
guerilla machine, with a nine milli that scream
titanium hollow tip clips to drill out your spleen
my team, is the last resort, a special task force
performing government hits, we catch a fast corpse
then leave without a trace, your body leave without a face
send your cadaver off with NASA to rot in outer space
this time I've been assigned to find the minds
who design anti-American crimes
I climb, through the mountains I hear a sound in a cave and
I think I found 'em I walk in and cock my pound and I stop
I'm shocked astounded at what I see
W.B., Mr. American me, chilling with the terrorist three
discussing oil prices, my legs went soft like boiled rice with
the thought that I'm caught in soiled vice grips
stabbing my heart like ice picks
the betrayal is never ending like Atrayu and my life is
flashing in front of me I cock my gun and they scream.....
[Chorus]
Dreams! things aren't all that they seem
Dreams! life's not all about cream
Dreams! please say it all was a dream
'cause the fight for real life's
like a horrible scene
[Verse]
(Virt wake up!)
the enemy's here
they trying ta' take us
let 'em see how the weaponry
makes their frame break up
it seems threads of life
make up our stitch in time
after the bomb dropped
dawn got a different shine
I find that it burns
like a fire on the hearth
I learned this day would come
they were liars from the start
my pride is in my heart
so you'll never know
how far Miguel will go
until they digging up your skeletal
remains I see change
on the horizon
or is it just the next bomber as it flies in
wise men once let me know
if it's not worth it then let it go
or pop first and dead your foe
now it seems like the options are dropping
there's no more talking
smart bombs are locked in
and more often than not
innocent people gotta get dropped
for their leaders horrible plot
while the one calling the shots
fly free as a bird
words they speak are absurd
though they're frequently heard
'cause they control the radio
it's crazy though
the dj's won't play me though
unless I line their bank account
with crazy dough
and even corporate labels
deep into debt, through spending in deficit
bootlegging and internet
meet the new me see a brain that's been cloned
silicone flesh meshed with titanium bones
I'm aiming my poems, at dictators
reigning on thrones
who raised their seeds cold
in a cradle of stone
then cast them in the street
never gave them a home
the ones who shun the path
that our saviors have shown
we stole all of the crops
that the natives have grown
we must stick together
no one made it alone
'cause radiation give you cancer
in your face from your phone
or your throat from the smoke
when you blazing a bone
when you don't agree with leaders
and behavior they've shown
speak out there's no effect
if your state is unknownI got sick of talking
and caught aids in my poem
now I spit from a coffin
and a grave is my dome
I grown by own body
from dirt and grime
it blows my damn mind
like my brain was a landmine
and I can't find
a path out this nightmare
does it end right here
or extend for light years?!
[Chorus repeat]
Utilizing all we know
True to life and
Ten-Four I read you
Your see through
I don't believe you
It ain't what your skin hides that's inside
[Casual]
Sliding in key locks locked in the detox
Amazing escape, an invasion plots
Black stone, chiropractor crack you backbone
Spectacular when I rapture ya, it's on
And after I masquerade this mic massacre
Last of the "B-Boy" masters fill casters
High-roller, lash the beat
Fantastically and put em' fast asleep
Don't discuss this travesty with his majesty
My styles make bullies look bashful
Y'all heard of casual, I get an [?]
I rhyme in every minute to be miniaturized
Squeeze the chalice, till my hands get calices
Challengers get they ass kicked into spastic paralysis
I place pillows in cigarillos
Stuff them bitches to their thickest dildos
A nigga will though, marinate till I mildew
Off a brute dub-sack then and I peel too
Y'all niggas shook like seizures
You skeez' us, please us and I leaves ya
Rampant, with your tramp in her hamptons
Amped' bout' to run throught they camp then I'm vamping
Like a champion, having fun when I run this
[Chorus]
{All we know} Utilizing
{All we know} True to life and
Ten-Four I read you
Your see-through
I don't believe you
{It ain't what your skin hides that inside}
[Virutoso]
This is the source so know that we hitting you off
I'm forward progress increased with centrifugal force
And as I listen I think who did the mixing on your weak sound
That lacks essential punches like the presidential recount
Deep down address the state of my being
And break in museums to take back our freedom from snakes and demons
We end off, when that cat rap it's Ten-Four
Your see-through, I read you they speak your memoirs
Flash ridiculous flows, master physicist
They be like yo that's the hypnotist the way I get with chicks
Sick of this pre-imposed regiment, we disclose evidence
Of the societal foes decadence
The righteous, we gaining advantage we banish sharks of Satan
Battle the biggest star fuck it bring on a constellation
Watch how I kill and fray the Milky Way the silky spray
Filthy gray clouds, to send them to Earth to slay crowds
In evil assemblages, walk straight mind control of cerebral appendages
So it'll lead to your hemorrhages
Quite likely, cuz' you spread roomers your might fight me
But neglectly to write nightly thinking my hype might be
Overblown, but I'm the most powerful of Jehovah's clones
Poison will, thought they said poison milk from the Cobra's pulm
Figure is Virtuoso slay hard
In a rave squad, with brave guards and layed them in the graveyard
[Chorus]
{All we know} Utilizing
{All we know} True to life and
Ten-Four I read you
Your see-through
I don't believe you
{It ain't what your skin hides that inside}
[Del]
Deep within we begin through the grass and moss
Spent a wife from the plantation planned grand larsany
My state's malnutrition a low adjustment what's this
Identify then decide
Virtuoso was hopeful, "Cas" was aggrivated
I knew he had to make it, any task taken
Sink or swim, die young or live in wrinkled skin
Only look again cuz' homies think cuz' thinkin' in
The same civilization, my pen is inkin' it
Of the wise they a minus cuz' wise is a mindset
Dumb, deaf, blind and no time reminding
Your ass stays greedy, needy while I fast
And I'm a start there leave em' marked there
That every thought's clear and concise
They say they lived twice
And try and do me like Christ with spice
Dancing with Manson but I ain't that type alright
A fly "Cas-wise", crack survival tactics
Relax and meditate and apply the math-quick
Get solutions, skip institutions
I smoke till my eyes seem, lime green
and there's no cure but a bath in visine
my dope's fresh off the boat, and my buds juicy
with fiery red hairs like I love Lucy
my crib is crawling with blunt roaches and
when I'm feigning, I exterminate them by them
lit the dro, in a optimo sizzle slow
hit and flow spit and blow smoke out in little O's
you know the seed never falls far from the tree
germinate and touch heads constantly THC
the O throw shows we throw joints in the crowd
we got, joints in our mouth, see the point is we proud
around for night when Snype rolled a quarter pound
in one joint, or stuffed inside four philly titans with all our boys around
I took your girls silver pearl, blew her mind with the AK
while you were stretching dimes into eight J's
[Hook]
Smoke a pound of herb a day and yo
keep the peace with the weed and hash
puff puff give, puff puff give, if I'm hard to find take two pulls and pass
[Cuts] "My whole comittee like to puff L's, sound in my veins and a pound on my brain
smoke with me, light one up, getting high, smoking weed....."
Blueberry sativa straight pouring out your speakers
mary jane told me meet her at the very highest peak of
the Himalayas well spin a J of the northern lights
we'll swim in hydroponical chronic cause waters life
afghani gold was the last gram we rolled
hash and we hold stashed in the dash cause these hoes
with badges wont grab this G-13 beasters
rebirth like easter from smoke thick like keifer
reefer sparks my acid battery your placid cavalry
is smashed and that'll be what will happen if you matching me
we burn chem rocks to hemlock our brain
I got a ten spot, you got a ten spot?
let's spark the flame
I'd be like Bill Gates if I ain't spend ill cake
to get real baked and spend my day in a chill place
in case I don't get a next life I live the best life
I can and smoke bless right, until my death like I......
[Hook: x2]
before the first second of my first day, my birthday
before my delivery I had hit my first J
see my parents were hippies I was delivered at home
to relax during labor mom lit up a bone
so when it comes to getting high ya'll I'm a lifer
parents smuggled weed from Jamaica in my diapers
blazing I'm the caucasian version of Bob Marley
asian eyes staying high in the clouds like god's army
I went, from a joint to a nickle to a dime
then a half to a Z now its P's all the time
most of my crew was high in high school
and failed, but got a A + from getting high school
and how I do seems obscene to most
the green I toast, make you believe you seen a ghost
yo I smoke so much, I don't need no dutch
put the lie in my mouth spit fire and roast up
blow puffs of smoke clouds, cumulus, cirrus
and if you near us puffin' canabis I know you hear us
if I get cancer man, I'ma go to Amsterdam
smoke a handsome gram to the face, casue thats the answer man
and I still wish, Clinton had admitted that he hit it and got lifted
cause maybe today it would be permitted
it's medicinal, who you gon' listen to
a psycho that's rich from cigarettes and wants to put a micro-chip in you?
fuck that! if you got weed puff that
and if your smoking something let your man touch that
the real drugs crack, heroin and alcohol
tobacco and mescalin and the rest of them cause after all
what did weed do but make your lies see through
and bring a peaceful vibe to all of my people
Virtuoso blow O's and yo
hold up, no more flow I'm a go smoke some dro
[Virtuoso]
Yo, I be attestin' bad you soon discover I'm the best around
Virtuoso omnipotent medulla rule the extra crowds
Step in battles weapon-rals give ya chest a pound
'til ya breast is ground meat
Pharaohs Army sound fleet
Snatch ahold of half ya soul make, casserole
Crack a pole on ya back and roll you in the blackest hole
The winter brewed, enter nude Amazonian jungle warfare
Silver back guerilla I'm covered in more hair
than four chairs in a barber shop
Vocals hard as rocks and the beat's on smash
Make ya veto, jigga weak foe
Cause my machete unique flow fuckin' beat yo ass
I got the key to sense or hear a deer sharp as fox
Sound as when carver chop, galaxies and stars'll drop
You know Virt, run with ogres who throw dirt
Stomp ya ass 'til ya bones squirt like yogurt
[T-Ruckus]
Aiyyo rush extreme pervert, I'm undercover covert
You need to put in work, and get ya games out my face
Let the flames in the place, you fuckin' wid Ruck's a fatal move
You stand in disgrace yo my brain's in outerspace
Taste the toxic, improved reflexes like shadowboxin'
Sternum crack, extreme force applied to ya back
Pick ya torture that's the rack
I'll scortch ya with the lift
And word style I clash like, (woof) with full clips
Guerilla war I killed ya core
Atilla the Hun don't want none
I rap shit, into the floors
Spittin' shots through ya door, and kick that bitch down
From the bowel, where Ruck throws the mic to the ground
In discussin' Ruck you trust, word to us
You spittin' the shit we flush time to bust
And crack the earth's crust with one thrust
Nasty as shit, toxic the hazardous, analyst
[Hook]
"I got it locked from the 2-1 pound to beantown"
From Philly to Boston we tossin' cats to the ground
"Then some clown jumps up to get beatdown"
Virtuoso, T-Ruckus, Jedi Mind for the crown
"I got it locked from the 2-1 pound to beantown"
We cats that speak growls to blast ya weak sound
"Then some clown jumps up to get beatdown"
Big Virt, Ruckus, Jedi bring the beatdown
[Vinnie Paz a.k.a Ikon]
Prepare for the blitzkrieg, ya wrist bleed into six seas
Ya veinless, my stainless will split trees
The fist need to smash through the brain
Soul of the chauvanist cast into the flame
You'll come to learn that my flesh is unslashable
You damn coward ya man power is laughable ya chest blastable
The chaplain'll smash you in the adam's apple
for not doin' what's asked of you
That's the last of you, I'm a sick bastard
I spit gases and split rappers wid pick axes
From Illadelph Shambala to Los Angeles
Rappers are mummified from the number of bandages that I inflicted
With guillotine swiftness
We mean vicious and fiends can get they spleen shifted
[Jus Allah a.k.a Megatron]
Jus Allah and Vinnie Paz, leave ya flags raised at half mast
Let the fuck off wid less crimes than fuckin' cats
The wrath, leavin' you outside and jacked
Then we drop more shells than pregnant crabs
The glock make motherfuckas bow down in hell
You opened immediate, like priority mail
That's my dog and I clean up after his tail
So the evidence can't pin the god in jail
Leavin' you peeled, buried in an underground cell
While your family still hopin' you alive and well
Call the Reaper, tell him I got, lives for sale
I'm paid for each motherfucka supplied to hell
I can tell y'all can provide work for me
Motherfucka like Hercules first friday Mercury
Virtuoso pass the blunt
And let Megatron smoke these trees down to skunks
[Verse 1]
I swallow six foot men my jaw size ludicrous
when I was new to this I ate my siblings in the uterus
kill a killer whale, iller scales than iguanas
shred cows in seconds like thousands of pirahnas
hammer head thermal radar sensors increase
crossing under-water vocanic peaks where lava leaks
the bola zambezi shark rip you apart
survived the dinosaurs extinction with ridiculous heart
livers eighteen gallons of oil to help me float
more than eighteen gallons of blood fell out your throat
after I co-ordinate pectoral and dorsal
to your co-ordinates then dissect your body to morsels
on Normandy's beach it's storming
ferocious feeding frenzys forming, as your blood is emptied its pouring
needle nosed battering ram, shattering slams to your cattamaran
with my teeth stabbing your glands
[Chorus x2]
Raahhh! I am an animal!
sea land or air, eat a man or two
chew through whole crews like a cannibal
cut and sandwich you, I am an animal!
[Verse 2]
I'm the malicious mammal, killing sadistic vandals
who are destroying earths crystalline twisted channels
my tiger fleet need thirteen pounds of meat
each a day to stay alive and eat
the chief predator, so if you got beef I'm deading ya
chew through caribou large cattle etcetera
and man stands at the head of the list
he destroys prey and habitat that let us exist
the caspian bali and java were not survivors
I roll with the indo-chinese and south china
sumatran, bengal and siberian
when caught men fall and scream I'm not hearing 'em
every tiger's unique stripes distinguishes
us from one another like human finger prints
my tiger claw wounds you can't hide with gauze
died of course with your skull inside my jaws!
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
My razor beak and crest are sharp and regal
dark and evil, the ravenous harpy eagle
dart between trees, snatch two toed sloths
seventeen pounds to the ground then chew its nose off
wing span is ten feet
I beat howler monkies out the trees while you pecking seed where the hens eat
the bald eagle, perched on a tall steeple
all feeble prey get slayed including ya'll people
when I'm landing with my team start abandoning your dream
snatch that ass like a salmon in a stream
slashing ya, in the air tear half of ya
cause the other half dropped in Alaska
I'm hacking the flesh off the back of ya
then take a bath in ya, fresh blood like Dracula
I ravage ya, carcass like a scavenger
claws stabbing ya, aerial attack massacre!
[Hook]
If time dont fear the reaper, neither do the sun nor the wind and the rain
Then maybe things will be as they were
Except after death there will be no pain, for a change
Still I wonder why, if we can laugh and cry
Get high and pass the lie, why do we have to die?
Because there's two sides to life the dark and light
Pray that your god dont stop your heart tonight
Since I was a toddler I'd ask my father
If were all gonna die why do we bother
Trying to go farther than the last martyr
Exploring more of the earth than man has chartered?
It gets harder everyday just for starters
The greedy don't barter they just steal and starve ya'
Thank god I, caught this like Gary Carter or Tim McCarver
And learned I gotta think smarter
We oughta, take advantage of the part a'
The refined design we find we're offered
Cause time bends like the bow of an archer
My mind tends to be grim like Clive Barker
Cause when your caught in the web like Peter Parker
You'll see the mark of the reaper is even darker
Than the heart of a black -hole that's unchartered
Swallowing bright light rays the sun started
[Hook: x2]
It's inevitable that death will get you
Whether a sick chick with AIDS sex you
Or a clip spit and weapons wet you
If it can happen to best friends and Seanie's gone
I wonder will tomorrow be the day that mommies gone
My greatest dream is she win her fight with the cancer
Taking each day by day in life is the answer
They told her she had only few months to live
But she didn't give up, a few years later here she is
Still alive and it gives me the illest vibe
Loved gramps still he died I'm itching to kill a guy
Why, so many pussies frontin', they trying to push my buttons
Faggots that's good for nothing always wanna prove there something
Your mother had to carry you for nine months
But I could bury you by squeezing a nine once
So be sure to the core before you take a life
Cause someone had to give birth, nurture and make a life
Wake up to feed and love a screaming baby late at night
So take my advice, two wrongs don't make a right
I've danced with the devil by the moonlight
While death swept fingers on the harp and played a tune like
I don't fear the reaper, neither do the sun nor the wind or the rain
But death fucks with your soul like ether
You come to take my life I'll put a slug in your brain...
one night I laid down and turned the lights out

[Talking]
Word up, Virtuoso
Ahh...uh.. yo
[Verse 1]
Thunderous overture, roll over ter(tar) like Ben Hur
I'm your mentor, so who you gon' send for, ten four I read you
Your people are over ah now cause they see through
Think I'ma believe you when you speak to me?
You lie frequently, got me visible like I'm comin' in sequency
Inside what your skin hide, end floss intent I
Send guys wid limbs tied bipolar tape recorder disorder
Transformer performer minora lit, hit deep Torah scripts
We hard, walkin' on coals wid out my feet scarred
What you been kickin' slim pickings while this beat start
The moral, I make quarrels hot like fire coral
One strike to ya right pectoral will numb ya spine like ?????
Storm through portals wid ravenous baboons
Stab and gouge your phalimus wid a spoon
Leave you lost like, rudderless boats upon the Ganges
Slam these microphones and bite the bones like hard candy
Cause ya family's thin, like the atmosphere ontop of the Andes
I charge head first, like Ramses
Damn he's inhuman, the pentium processor professor
If you're the aggressor I make it dope, black and deck ya
Rhyme explosive detonated the melodious pitch
Wid ya cries infinite like a Mobius trip
I beat ya head, 'til it's softer than a piece of bread
or playdough you'll see stars like Galileo
[Verse 2]
I take a shot at your staff that rips their body in half
I'm so dope your radio wants my audiograph
More drive deliveries like midwives master deliveries
Rhythmically ride limber, mind bender sent to command the whores
Chop a flaw under your neck wid the mic chord bow to the lord
Wild like a cyborg and down for the cause
Cause the cause of the world's flaws are ours
Spell checker in my right hemisphere ears hear
Dictionaries now spit obituaries
Nothing's harder, than a winter in Boston Harbor
Search for an answer to cancer like Dana Farmer
Char ya crew wid hot spray like ??ronaldo suveist??
Bury parbay, bend arms the wrong way
Caught up in ya long day, lay upon my torture rack
Force to crackin' your rib cage and contort ya back
Cause if ya wonder how I member sides like barnacles
The one that lie only see through one eye like a monacle
Diary of dark lies part five library archives
Civil side relates, sharp knives
Juan Demarco spark live blunts in the trunk
Rapid and avid powerful flow like the wind blow
Yo, bruise crews til the body black and blue
Grooves play they pain with a record needle verse wreckin' people
You're exposed as ya facade corrodes
While I'm Beethove' and Sebastian Bach composed
A handful of dust, a worthless piece of clay
And you breathed the breath of Heaven
Then there was a soul, the heart, the hands, the voice
That could sing of your perfection
Life is a symphony
That only you can play
You know I can hear it
Through the madness everyday
Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
There isn't a note of mediocrity
In all of your creation and all of the beauty
We create with human hands is only imitation
Thunder crashes, waves crescendo on the sand
The wind that's whispering can only be Your hand
Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
A timeless melody of beauty and emotion
Perfect harmony inspiring true devotion
No one else can play its chords so graceful yet, so strong
You made the instrument and wrote the song, virtuoso
Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
Virtuoso
Virtuoso, virtuoso
This heart is Your instrument
And this life is Your song
There it is
You know it's about to go down right
The place is here, and the time is now
come on
[Virtuoso]
Virtuoso ask for her by name
Only the fliest mamis are playas in my game
Chocolate thai reign stay high like a plane
It's Cambridge baby ain't a damn thing changed
My aim, is to be the top dog
You yap ya trap but it's only talk though
I'm not soft, the beef popped off the sweet got tossed
And even salty cats crawl on they back
We calm and relaxed, cause we know we got is sowed
Hey galito, o-ohhhh, hey yo
The Virtuoso blow O's of dro
And yo the way reign there
I swear my nose should glow
I told ya so, sick like polio
It's only four, twenty honey child you know
And yes ya dressed fresh on yo breast
Slip it off and girl let yo hips do the talkin'
[Hook]
We came to party, so girl shake yo body
Girl I see you want me, so let's get it on
(Where all the ladies at)
(We came to party, so boy shake your body)
(Look I see you want me, so let's get it on)
[Iyadonna]
Giorgio Armani, Gianni, Versace
Glowin' wrists, less chicks solo my type of party
Somebody, who came in them, fancy ringers
And'll snatch me up to dance wid him
My women friends all hold it down
No poke holdin' hands
At the bar wid bills out cause we holdin' them
It was like, ten of them, and since my man ain't here
let me attend to them, Avirex is dress-ted
On top of Armani X it's for the big chested
My God, I'm so impressed and, fully rested
Anything get outta hand, it's cause, we let it
Chickens get heated and call us conceited but they respect it
I worked real hard for the trump necklace
And I'm workin' real hard toward the truck Lexus
G.S., no B.S., Iya stay holdin' it down
Officialized down to a V.S
[Hook]
[Virtuoso]
Gimme sixteen and I make a chick cream
Twist green dro flow 'til my wrist gleam
My top so hot ock I got spit steam
And get between more dips lips than Listerine
I'm slick machine oil I boil and bubble up
We tryna party why are y'all bringin' trouble up
You want me catch me on the floor honeys rubbin' up
Chocolate on both sides lookin' like a double stuffed
Oreo cookie, and I'm sorry y'all rookies
Think I failed on a bet make a call to your bookie
Now, what's the odds Virtuoso ain't harder prints pressin'?
Just count ya blessings and thank God
That I made another record
My troops scoop and get the flava honeys naked
Gettin' major money check it I
Smoke the lye and scope the thighs
And if you messin' with my night I might choke a guy
Because
[Ali Bey]
Judas did it for the money and so do these world leaders
they cheat us like George Bush at the polls
they hearts must be cold like the winds of the poles
either that or they lack soul spilling red blood for black gold
human sacrifice, make me wonder bout nine eleven
what they doin' in the heavens on that space station
and we buggin off grand theft auto
for the playstation, what you got faith in
the book of revelations, or media publication
if you ask certain people they all fabrication
congratulations, to anyone who found they life's purpose
the earth is perfect but the world is flawed
mistakes are a part of life just learn from yours
they making weapons out of germs for war
AIDS bombs straight through your front door
and I'm sure they got a cure, what they hiding it for?
I've learned greed is a whore with abcess sores
I wouldn't go in her raw, or even touch her
up in hell's kitchen trying to get a little supper
hunger pains is a mother, but whatever don't kill us make us tougher
[Hook]
why do you, want to split our world in two
people tell me true, what are you trying to do? [x2]
[Hashim Misah]
I'm out for presidents to represent me
and I ain't talking bout Bush, he got paper cause his fam is crooks
man they push more weight then Jay-Z
off the books and Dick Cheney stay in beef like P, caught in a jux
so felonious, masonic monks and I ain't talking bout Thelonious
look at the signs, study the times
to make the stock market climb the army get on the grind
punks jump up in a war get creamed like calomine
on the blocks youths slang rocks like kids in Palestine
it's all unraveling like a dutch, pal o' mine
get your shit straight, cause death spreads quicker than hate
gossip in the hood or c-i's upstate
kid it's easy to get busted down, trusting in clowns
don't trust every body cause their flesh is brown
I seen devils darker than Wes Snipes banging them pipes
sixteen heated rounds like a heavy-weight fight
taking the life of the innocent, scandalous place we livin' in
tuff love, making plans with omnipotent
cause we true soldiers, and gettin' older
I got a queen who got my back lifting the world off my shoulders
it's all about family, once you start overstanding me
they can't control us...
and we ain't talking g.i. joe bro' it's more like cobrah
[Hook x2]
[Virtuoso]
From the cradle to the time that your able to watch cable
my fam pray to save you my son these are the days you
oughta cherish, with faults greater than our merits
we launch assaults from which the salt of the earth could perish
mostly over which parrish or mosque you attend
why let religion tear us apart we all men
or are we the worst kind of animals?
lifeless mechanical, selfish tyrannical
like their leader, with heaters aimed for the slaughter
powerful because he has the same name as his father
both engaging, in insider trading and nepotism
they so concerned with the weapons system
when will the lesson hit them
there's only so much atmosphere around this astral sphere
so if your blasting there something will happen here
thunder claps the air, poison gas that's clear
invades our oxygen, venomous toxins in
your blood like bites from venomous moccasins
men have been talking in, riddles for too long
proving who's strong not planning to move on
we used Saddam to bruise Iran
confusion ensued to who we'd choose to bomb
conducting operas, fuck giving choppers ta'
them cats who's gats are now busting shots at ya'
they trying to topple your regime, the gestapo with the cream
got plots to cop nukes from russian mafia
by who's poll is George Bush popular?
that's not my leader cheater never would have fought for ya'
you just the lesser of two evils
who both want the first holocaust since Hitler called jews evil
why do people need biological weapons
they must wanna get in final conflict armmagedon
[Hook]
If time dont fear the reaper, neither do the sun nor the wind and the rain
then maybe things will be as they were
except after death there will be no pain, for a change
still I wonder why, if we can laugh and cry
get high and pass the lie, why do we have to die?
because there's two sides to life the dark and light
pray that your god dont stop your heart tonight
Since I was a toddler I'd ask my father
if were all gonna die why do we bother
trying to go farther than the last martyr
exploring more of the earth than man has chartered?
it gets harder everyday just for starters
the greedy don't barter they just steal and starve ya'
thank god I, caught this like Gary Carter or Tim McCarver
and learned I gotta think smarter
we oughta, take advantage of the part a'
the refined design we find we're offered
cause time bends like the bow of an archer
my mind tends to be grim like Clive Barker
cause when your caught in the web like Peter Parker
you'll see the mark of the reaper is even darker
than the heart of a black -hole that's unchartered
swallowing bright light rays the sun started
[Hook: x2]
It's inevitable that death will get you
whether a sick chick with AIDS sex you
or a clip spit and weapons wet you
if it can happen to best friends and Seanie's gone
I wonder will tomorrow be the day that mommies gone
my greatest dream is she win her fight with the cancer
taking each day by day in life is the answer
they told her she had only few months to live
but she didn't give up, a few years later here she is
still alive and it gives me the illest vibe
loved gramps still he died I'm itching to kill a guy
why, so many pussies frontin', they trying to push my buttons
faggots that's good for nothing always wanna prove there something
your mother had to carry you for nine months
but I could bury you by squeezing a nine once
so be sure to the core before you take a life
cause someone had to give birth, nurture and make a life
wake up to feed and love a screaming baby late at night
so take my advice, two wrongs don't make a right
I've danced with the devil by the moonlight
while death swept fingers on the harp and played a tune like
I don't fear the reaper, neither do the sun nor the wind or the rain
but death fucks with your soul like ether
you come to take my life I'll put a slug in your brain...
[Talking]
Word up, Virtuoso
Ahh...uh.. yo
[Verse 1]
Thunderous overture, roll over ter(tar) like Ben Hur
I'm your mentor, so who you gon' send for, ten four I read you
Your people are over ah now cause they see through
Think I'ma believe you when you speak to me?
You lie frequently, got me visible like I'm comin' in sequency
Inside what your skin hide, end floss intent I
Send guys wid limbs tied bipolar tape recorder disorder
Transformer performer minora lit, hit deep Torah scripts
We hard, walkin' on coals wid out my feet scarred
What you been kickin' slim pickings while this beat start
The moral, I make quarrels hot like fire coral
One strike to ya right pectoral will numb ya spine like ?????
Storm through portals wid ravenous baboons
Stab and gouge your phalimus wid a spoon
Leave you lost like, rudderless boats upon the Ganges
Slam these microphones and bite the bones like hard candy
Cause ya family's thin, like the atmosphere ontop of the Andes
I charge head first, like Ramses
Damn he's inhuman, the pentium processor professor
If you're the aggressor I make it dope, black and deck ya
Rhyme explosive detonated the melodious pitch
Wid ya cries infinite like a Mobius trip
I beat ya head, 'til it's softer than a piece of bread
or playdough you'll see stars like Galileo
[Verse 2]
I take a shot at your staff that rips their body in half
I'm so dope your radio wants my audiograph
More drive deliveries like midwives master deliveries
Rhythmically ride limber, mind bender sent to command the whores
Chop a flaw under your neck wid the mic chord bow to the lord
Wild like a cyborg and down for the cause
Cause the cause of the world's flaws are ours
Spell checker in my right hemisphere ears hear
Dictionaries now spit obituaries
Nothing's harder, than a winter in Boston Harbor
Search for an answer to cancer like Dana Farmer
Char ya crew wid hot spray like ??ronaldo suveist??
Bury parbay, bend arms the wrong way
Caught up in ya long day, lay upon my torture rack
Force to crackin' your rib cage and contort ya back
Cause if ya wonder how I member sides like barnacles
The one that lie only see through one eye like a monacle
Diary of dark lies part five library archives
Civil side relates, sharp knives
Juan Demarco spark live blunts in the trunk
Rapid and avid powerful flow like the wind blow
Yo, bruise crews til the body black and blue
Grooves play they pain with a record needle verse wreckin' people
You're exposed as ya facade corrodes
Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart
with very special things
With angel songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go
I'm never lonely
With her along who could be lonely
I reach for her hand. It’s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
When you feel life's too hard
And you cant go on
Remember that I love you
From the day I emerged
To when im saying these words
You watched over me
Held my hand and walked close to me
Thats how its supposed to be
And since pops' shot to the ovary
You ????? me
Showed me you loved me
And when things got ugly
You never turned your back
Had patience and compassion and I've learned from that
You showed me when to fight back and when to walk away
You behind me 100% all the way
So I pray to the Lord, dont take my mom away
God, let her and dad live on beyond their days
Taught me how to throw a ball and ride a bike
And when I picked up on my ???? showed me how to do it right
Even when y'all had problems you held me down
Yo there's only two reasons why Miguel's around
One's my mother and two's my father
You've always stood behind me and pushed me to go farther, so
when you feel life's too hard
and you cant go on
remember that i love you
To my children
who have yet to come
You look just like me
And yet so young
So glad you sprung
Into the world, out of my girl
And to me you're more precious than any diamonds or pearls
So listen
Respect all equally
And always speak with free thoughts
Don't let 'em get caught in your throat
No, cuz self-expression is what is really dope
Ands its what attracts the type of partners we should really scope
I really hope
You'll be head strong like a billy goat
But sensible enough not to cope with the ???
And dont follow what other people might do
Hear what your gut feeling provides you
Answers to whats right and wrong in a tried true
And loyal, and me, I'll always be here for you
As far as me and you, we one and the same
its to my unborn daughter and son in my brain
You know
When you feel life's too hard
And you cant go on
Remember that I love you
When you feel life's too hard
And you cant go on
Remember that I love you
This is to my friends who been around since my childhood
Whose advice has led me right to live my life good
We've come a long way
Working them long days
Since when we used to scoop honey's in school hallways
Or blaze
We used to play baseball
And sometimes, you know why, I wish I could stay small
But man we gotta grow and get the dough
Time moves fast so I move slow, lets let 'em know
But this year we gonna blow
we didnt come to play >
It's time to silence the violence, lets put the guns away
So if you care about me
I care about you
I know I never would've made it here without you.
And so
When you feel life's too hard
And you cant go on
Remember that I love you
When you feel life's too hard
And you cant go on
[REKS]
How can I start ill, live from where my people, VIRT you caught hell
Nasty as the poet Nas on the track with Akinyele
The blue blocka rocka twin of R. Kell, nigga blab and talk well
Think it's a shame to see hip hop sell
Absolute, like shots of vodka, watch my thoughts spill all across the art
Till ya heart's still
Lifted like I spark L's
But I'm sober to the weed aroma, catch a dark spell
Black out, when I write into a coma
Hold the profile, sorta like Jesus when I zone out
R-E-K-S, the greatest rapper no one knows bout
Most authentic lieutenant, pushin you to limit
If I pissed you off, good that's exactly what I intended
The pterodactyl thrash you in half like cashews
REKA reign be in the book of Matthews
Body slam collapse you, shift the third rock off of its axle
Naturally, I'm a natural when I attack you
Blessed like ah-coos, perhaps you
Might find another deadly brother ?? the Reks on the mic
But that's like, not realistic, my fault I'm egotistic
If you heard somebody spittin this shit
Sorry I missed it
[Virtuoso]
You wanna know Virtuoso, boy listen and learn
My vocal motor go to overdrive, the pistons'll burn
My mission is firm, so sick, fuck a chick, I'm tongue-kissin a germ
I cut ya clique as y'all was slippery worms
You'll drown in my rain, no blood
I was born with sound in my veins and a pound on my brains
So I can't help but be dope
My talent is my twin as ?we wrote?
My free flow is now a kilo
I breathed in oxygen like the top of a ski slope
To match my breath control, you'll need a scuba tank and 3 throats
I speak real life, you steal heist in your thoughts
While I'm busy workin towards a fly wife and a yacht
And when I'm rich, then bitch I buy my ice in the spot
And I'll have skills and integrity, that's twice what you got
Son I'm naturally stylish, and when these lies, who talking violence
They look into my iris, they walk away in silence
Because they fear the realness
I kick words that make you feel shit
We should heal riffs in our family structure
That has the man in me sufferin
Spit imagery so vivid that son, ya camera be shutterin
[Scratched chorus]
[Virt]
Forever we, keep the flow goin like the seven seas
Heavenly, you need divine assistance to better me
Everyone talking bout they hard, how they have a better squeeze
And all they cheddar, please, that's negative, y'all need a better steeze
[REKS]
Reka's teaks be on it at auctions, arsonist thoughts
To scorchin your play list, virtin my portion
If I embossed in priceless
Nicer then the Jordans, Waynes, and Jerry Rices
Steady precise with the mic devices
[Virt]
Life is peace and violence, balance
The yin and the yang, the king and the crane
Put the needle to the record, feel the sting in ya brain
We bringin the pain to every inch of ya frame
Ringin ya chain, we gonna injure ya name
[REKS]
Simple and plain, drop the livin science
Deadly alliance, handin out assignments
Skills went and won an audio appliance
Closest of pen play, lyrical ken tai
Who care what them say
R to the Eh, epitome of em-say!
[Virt]
When we, step in the spot, reppin our blocks
With lyrical weapons that's hot, blazin
Lettin off shots, wet em like drops of 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen
We chase to the mouth of a lion's den and we lock em in
[REKS]
Knock the chin, break the glass jaw
Surpass y'all, we past raw
Cats getting familiar with asphalt
[Virt]
I didn't ask y'all for your opinion, you out ya dominion
My spittin control and steer the game like ?racket mittens? haha
[REKS]
Half of y'all been in the game getting boxed out
Synonym for R's house is Earth, Yo VIRT, knock that ass out
[Virt]
I rock em in they mouth with my granite hand, it gets no harder
We can either trade and barter or you can get made a martyr
[REKS]
Author with my mind of Aristotle, getting drunken, actin drunk's my motto
See ya tomorrow through the forty bottle
[Virt]
Throttle and choke ya whole squad like a engine
[REKS]
Spittin like Pippen that blaze written, inflictin torture
[Virt]
I scorch ya frame like a butane flame
[REKS]
Off the real train, posse insane, clownin you lames
[Virt]
You're surrounded in shame, clouds of despair
For testing the most powerful pair
Competition and cowards in fear
[REKS]
Too proud to be mere locals, vocals across the third stone
Spit my first verse around the time the sun first shone
[Both]
We birth stones, Virtuoso, and Reks Diminisher
Seal it with signature, on ya gravestone
[scratching: One People...]
Essentially one energy under the sun
“We got to live as one”
[Virtuoso]
Yo when all forms of payment and educations
Involve enslavement and degradation
This wasteful culture will kill us all
Neanderthals peeping how we live will be appalled
Hard ministration need to do some reflection
And make a vaccination for world wide infections
And let the most disprivileged of us
Rise from the dust it's a must we increase our trust
In foreign lands remember every war is planned
By the hands of the government there on some other shit
That they won't let us understand
But keep your selfish ways
Crime pays and the CIA needs a raise
The same energies flowing through the leaves of the seas
Going through you and me see we're O N E
Skin pigment separations
A figment of imagination
A plan regiment for domination
[scratching: One people...]
Essentially one energy under the sun
“We got to live as one”
Essentially one energy under the sun
“We got to be as one”
[Virtuoso]
You think acting devilish might settle this problem
Man how you going to erase hate with hate
That don't make no sense dollars so dense
Need to open you mind let some hope in your mind
Know that its time to show some respect and take a step
I know its hard but in time it will connect
Let's build a bridge over troubled waters
And teach out sons to love our daughters
Instead of guns and slaughter
Its clouds sun and water
Because nature don't hate ya
So why do you litter hit her and rape her
The fact of one molecular structure should settle the
Puncture put in our love our violent settlers
Focused I notice everything in my dimension
Like retired pension receivers who once believed in high ascension
Now they sitting by contemplating
Were they wrong for taking the stand for the freedom they all been craving
[scratching: One people...]
Essentially one energy under the sun
We got to live as one
Essentially one energy under the sun
We got to be as one
[Virtuoso]
Its trees leaves the waves from the seas
And aids the disease even the air we breathe
Mud blood slug shots from a slug by thugs
From the hub for the love of money and drugs
Say it's not what it was but a forward movements perpetual
I think that a timelines merely conceptual
It all remains the same they live with aimless brains
The name is changed but no pain no gain so stains
Our caskets to influence the masses
And the government smothers with hypnotic gases
Politicians make erotic passes
Youth die in the hottest clashes
But ones killed is not as fast as
Gun slingers who could lift you with one finger
Memories of a sun linger none's bringer
Who carry your flowers hand on the gun spraying showers
As one we trying to stand on the sun today is ours
[scratching: One people...]
“We got to live as one”
“We got to be as one”
“We got to live as one”
“We got to be as one”
[Esoteric]
Dangerous lyricist, indigenous accent
My raps meant ya down fall
I surround y'all that sound small
In comparison to the magnimous, analyst
Paranormal panelist be plannin' this non-stop
Mass mutilation when bombs drop
The coppers stop the onslaught, not by a longshot
My razor blade, kicks the raps like ace of spades
Raise the flav' slay brigades
And while you place your raids
I space invade the pagan's age
Stealin' your belongings
Throw you off the rooftops
and bounce you off the awnings
Orion's belt, shameless Ryan supplyin' giant wealth
Now try and help the situation
My science spell decapitation
That's how I break ya concentration
Through a brain abrasion
All around my protocol's devoted to demotin' y'all
I noticed on ya promo
You ain't seein' Esoteric Lif or Virtuoso
Off the head or written, freestyle or premeditated
Any way you put it sucka duck you gettin' devastated
By the constellation, rotatin' space station
That's fully operational and capable of facin' you
[scratching] "Mr. Lif"
[Mr. Lif]
Freed from the days when they had me workin' the fields
Throw up the shields block out all the negativity
Tryna stop the force my mind yields
Start harmin' em with a homonym
Damage him with an antonym and a hymn
For niggaz that's religious and vicious
When I was younger one of my wishes was to be an emcee
So I increase my calibre, on to be a veteran from amateur
Focus on my rhymes my grammar blur
Fuck up ya eyeball, deep penetratin' lyrics to get inside all
who don't fully understand my shit that's worldwide y'all
I drop bombs in Canada, then quadruple the parameter
Incredibly large diameter so niggaz feel my aftershocks in Africa
After the damage a cubic field I happened to vanish
(Troops of steel), yeh they sent 'em
So I dent 'em, then I gain momentum
But then I chill, and I return to the seas
Where I depend on microscopic air bubbles to breathe
Now this is a place that is cold and wet
Yet my fire inside, is supplied by the tide
I gaze at the moon and offer words of sacrifices
And then I jet, I got a tip on where the anti-christ is
And I'm bound to torture him with his own devilish devices
Muse his unrighteous, until the motherfucker's lifeless
And then I shall stand over the land as god
And walk amongst the masses who are mentally scarred
[scratching] "Virtuoso"
[Virtuoso]
I launch razor tip violin bones through the windows
Of an opera house that shot the mouth of a soprano
Alto, or baritone'll wear ya dome like a link
Every dart I thump to think'll chop a rocky chunker chink
Atop the nostrils of the Sphinx
'Lific god offerin' pots of ink
Lock you in a box with a rapid lynx
Stab you full of pinholes so you can breathe
I got ten souls I cleaved, from the inner sanctums
of the highest rankin' soldiers in the earth's, history
Who all attempted persistin' me, but fought listlessly
When they were faced with the epitomy of brute force
Leavin' tons of tongueless loveless, mute corpses
I loot your fortress, shoot your corporate bosses
Crumbles could make ya tuck
it's from the crossbows I've tossed foes in pits
This line refined, and givin' minds this desire
to constrict up ya spine at the slightest sign of a twitch
Bitch, my pernicious loquacious
rhymin' defaces what yo basic, motives to explode 'em
My cortex computer chips hold 'em and download 'em
I make ya troops minute like a tadpole's scrotum
Stab ya head wid a pole and pose in a human totem
Corrodin' bones like osteoporosis
I'm the chief loc'est in deep focus
I keep beats in chokers and beat
each promoter whose peeps print cheap posters a week
Boasters I eat notice my force'll creep
Wrote as a speech cobra
My mic slicin' words defeat, ogres
I fly in stealth, mode and explode the globe
when the fryin' pelts you'll die and know
[Talking]
Yeh, Virtuoso, Snipe 4-20
We omnipotent yo
[Hook]
Intelligence is irrelevant to success
When disrespectful intellectuals get blasted in the chest
Depressed violent challenged constantly under arrest
Best be determined crime minds burnin' for a higher learnin'
[Verse 1]
My lips tremble as I remember cerebral violence of my livest
Sicilian sniper, the karma starin' in his iris
His slanted eye and higness was a warrior like Cirus
Through pokin' his sinus that made him mindless
Now blindness he's livin' in
He started pushin' in pussy that's lethal
A chick that's stickin' in infected needles
And she tryna boast, he had an overdose he's comatose
Bitch stuck a fist in his throat that made him choke
Almost to late but he lived to regurgitate the weight
I got a call at eight, a.m. tellin' me to meet him
In front of the mansion where we standin' lightin' a cannon
In the Pele pel, he took a puff and told a tale
But I was weak in the knees, traded his gold medallion
just to ride inside the saddle of cocaine the white stallion
Pull out the car keys, pop in a CD, and pulled a U-wee
We peelin' out to meet the rest of the crew
Out in a Montera sky blue fat body razzy ridin' shotty
drinkin' knotty headed for a college party
We puffin' skunk gettin' drunk while the beats bump
Then peeped a cracked out bitch lampin' wid her eyes sunk
up in the sockets, winkin' at the snitch shook her tits
Took a grip on his collar, and bit him like a rottweiler
Rolled up a hundred dollar, and then devoured white powder
Tension's holdin' tight up on his amaretto sour
He's shakin' like a coward over flour
He broke down, makin' the sniffin' coke sound
Now he's out on the town, on the corner beggin' for change
Estranged from his friends, he coulda pushed a Benz
He was a drug dealin' genius wid a seamless plot
But couldn't stop, the kid was a slave to his habit
Coulda had it all, but all his cream an' plays are shot
Because persistence will prevail where raw genius will not
[Hook]
Intelligence is irrelevant to success
When disrespectful intellectuals get blasted in the chest
Depressed violent challenged constantly under arrest
Best be determined crime minds find desire burnin'
[Verse 2]
My man Snipe rough life, in the moonlight
Can't sleep at night knife chop wife rock light
in crack pipe at night juvenile delink in the precint
buddah stink, eyes chinked red while the judge think
Wid Sicily shaped link, neglected youth, physical abuse
Had a weight lifting step-father whip him
Plus a mom stranglin', for hangin' with the wrong crew
Twenty two sippin' blood hittin' coke flippin'
Takin' SAT's on LSD, his university
Was assisted financially by slangin' kis
Split personalities, mind operates in intricate patterns
Manic depression opens the dome like the rays of Saturn
Now he's thrown outta home alone
His parents cool he's fuckin' up in school
His tool is a dutch master ooh, laced thirty and mean
Is pumpin' through the fiend's bloodstream like Valvoline
Leg splittin' lickin' women in silk and linen
That slanted out sex and exercise thighs like Richard Simmons
Without protection on a rock hard erection
Blessed wid luck he fucked and escaped without infection
In the school halls, fist pattin' a punk bitch until he falls
Is nose is broke the rules are broke so grab the stashed coke
He's expelled his nose clean livin' at Will's
But still seein' triple beam cream winner for teams
Love of life ?osteospamani? a mommy and a fiance
She's a soon to be wife, so fuck a crack pipe
Determination, for makin' higher education
Instead of facin' twenty five to life type incarceration
Makin' cash illegal, connects the faculties
Found the calories with salaries dealin' to rich people
Starvin' like a third world nation feelin' naked
Now we're money makin' master determination and patience so
[Hook]
Intelligence is irrelevant to success
When disrespectful intellectuals get blasted in the chest
Depressed violent challenged constantly under arrest
Best be determined crime minds burnin' for a higher learnin'
[Verse 3]
The streetsweeper, I check the time on a black beeper
My crew roll deep with dutchmaster hash and reefer
My feet are greased right, life is a ego-centrical
Ecosystem where we're all governmental victims
Played like marionettes wid mental and physical threats
The only outlet for the scars of my brain and my pain
And to refrain from goin' insane as a soundset
Wet up the philly sparkin' solo in the Polo
Determined, to drink Bourbon, wearin' a black shirt and
Keepin' a fly girl and, a Chevrolet Suburban
For cash crimies'll break ya arms out the sockets
So fuck the Bank of Boston toss the shit up in the front pocket
Askin' a question that no one can ever answer
My mind is divine it's hard to find like the cure for cancer
Wisdom philanthropist, cannibis burnin'
When I'm blazin' up determination for a higher learnin'
[Hook]
Intelligence is irrelevant to success
When disrespectful intellectuals get blasted in the chest
Depressed violent challenged constantly under arrest
[Jaz-O]
Alright, Virtuoso, Del the Funkee Homosapien
this Jaz-O, let's do what we came to do,Let's go!
ay yo, little did you know this gentlemans unweathered
through storms, only with women or middlemen un-fuck-wittable
don, lyrically pinnacle never needed a pen to do
gettin' green like good lawn, watch me riddle
this song, this tracks a tree, watch me whittle it gone
take the salary then I'm headed to the county where they found me
I'm ducking on my head is a bounty
got my chick running with me, on my head like a bounty
break fast U.S., government issue american toast
but unseen on america's most
still on the horn with celebrity hosts, giving me levity boasts
good heavens living legend you could never be ghost
while I'm thanking Virtuoso for not doing this solo
hold up, cops roll up, gestapo stuff
federalies in the alley wanting Jaz-O cuffed
two miles, underground tricked them assholes up, you know!?
[Hook x2]
On the run again
Oakland, Brooklyn, to Cambridge
America's most wanted, snipers with the language
On the run again
Known worldwide for that insane shit, Virtuoso, Jaz-O and Del niggaz is dangerous
[Del]
(hey hey hey D they trailing you, you better run for it
kid you better stay in tune, here they come for ya!)
No time for stumbling fumbling through the numbers
of underlings who be funneling funds for me, they hunting me
bounty hunter style, that's when guns come out
I sprint a hundred miles, that's when my lungs go out
I squeeze my asthma pump, as I jump the brick wall
it's all in the risk ya'll avoiding pitfalls
quickdraw McGraw law enforcement
runnign out of options and piecing together they resources
I'm floating coursing, wave in the ocean
scorching torquing hairpinning, oh yeah I'm driven
incessesant essence, infectious methods
vocalist more like a motorist to go the length in seconds
investigation vexed and raping destination
blessed his plate with fire 'pon fake shit!
[Hook x2]
Virtuoso:
I'm weaving an bobbing decieving the cops I'm squeezing off shots and
I'll ether your offspring you sleep in a coffin
I'm leaving from Boston, dodging collections of detectives
with intention and directives for detention I'm suspected
I get to BK with Jaz-O, the beat and rap flow on smash yo
they after both of us so let's dash yo
hit the spacious coast, get with my gracious host Deltron
spit hell on the track jet out the back them Miguel's gone
landing up in Austria, rap up in a opera
baffle their philosophers pull straps out on they officers
stopping in Alaska, ask the eskimos they know trust me
how I blow musty trees on sleds pulled by snow huskies
rushed me in Israel, Sharon tried to extradite
left at night, in the cargo hold of my connecting flight
no taking chances plastic surgeon carved my old face and
I'm slow baking in the sun in undisclosed locations
I've noticed those in power have no alterior motive
than to kill the inferior with corrosive chemicals
the virtuos locust internally tearing ya with explosives
whole infirmaries scared of ya cause your throatless
my inerno be searing ya till it's hopeless
I'll incinerate you in my crematory
innovator what I breathe is gory, disinegrate ya no need for stories
for the police, my flow heat leave no evidence
no sediment I burn books, theres no testament
to the savage thing, that the battle king
does when I stab and swing, slice jupiter, slash saturns rings
splinter venus, then leave the man in the moon
wounded in operating rooms being fed by intravenus
seen as off the radar, my dark laser
will drop eight stars, and chop holes through quasars
a powerhouse, brute force like rouge elephants
runaway rhinocerous, cut out they asophagus
ask most I'm half ghost the last rebel
smash metal like cinderblocks tied to gas pedals
sjull spit a full clip chest left holy like a pulpit
head and neck snapped like a bullwhip
mind is an elaborate, hazardous labyrinth
filled with ravenous, savages the flow hazarous
like rapids with white water to fights slaughter
I might order executions, slice quarters with mic cords for retribution
I"ll leave your life torn in destitution
we need a resolution, your death is the best solution
my evolution break down your institutional practice
fascists want my name on the blacklist
earths axis, cracked with so much force
when I was born it was torn from the back of Atlas
I smash this track with mjolner
born chief viking soldier, zero celcius blood, life is colder
like a polar cap in nova scotia
souls are at rest, as you digest a whole gallon of amonia
born stoner mom's smoked lie at my birth
fell from heaven and was raised as a child of the earth
reverse the first curse of the final conflict
go beyond which famous landmarks osam hit
kids armed with glocks, conference talks lead to concerts
of nuclear weapons for years to this fate we've been destined
food for thought too hot for ingestion
spit wrecking every intestine in your mid-section
blaze and scathe your place of residence
no trace of evidence
steal a briefcase from the president
lace residents, of every race with letters sent
revealing plots and plans of which every man should be hesitant
angel of doom, carve his name in the moon
stop his wife from reproducing when I mangle her womb
let the anger consume, my mind hang your platoon
for sport I leave your corpse laying strangled in tombs
I'm burying neandrethal man, stab up a mastodon
ask saddam who blast the bombs, they run this like decathalons
the masters calm like ghandi but they got me
cocky, wanna see Virt convert to a nazi?
pay the holocaust, it's too late to call it off
I throw flows that burn foes like molotov
I burst on the scene, my words are machines
to murder your team, you want dope? I'm serving the fiends
with blood curdling screams, as your team stretch on the rack
chest has been cracked, no cartilage is left in your back
I'm letting you rap, don't take the fact for granted
it's like my biggest fan is trying ta manage a plan which will do me damage
your man's fam is, laid bare like damn pandas
if they can't stand us, I make they back slam canvas
crush! original bum rush ya' lose
we hard granite, the fucking best on the planet
shine for light years, steaming hot like the amazon
in your nightmares but dissapear when the cameras on
a vampire, there's no captured image
raps smash your gimmicks till that ass is finished
boxing with walkmans slap dats
contact fists with compact discs while vinyl scratches like a bitch
violent sprays, leave my opponents in states of silent praise
trapped inside the tyrants maze, fire will fry ya' in my iron cage
my violent lions have been enraged
by violins and sirens that thunder from center stage
slicing throats, every full moon like a lycanthrope
life is cloaked in darkness, watch us knife the pope
or any other faggot catholic bastard
caught raping children kill them and gas the casket
and throw a match lit, till it burns to ashes
and place the remains in a urn and smash it
I'm the massive, volcanic eruption that happens
when comets are thrusting through the earths crust in-
to its core for internal combustion
imagine if you heard a discussion, between Stephen Hawking
and Aristotle talking, while comparing models of the universe
that's what it's like to follow when I use a verse
the insight in my mind, is the height of design
my rhymes Frank Lloyd Wright in his prime
so light up a dime
and put it high in the sky, till it looks like the air is filled with fire-flies
I, spark cheebas in the dark fiendish
bury your crew under the ocean so only the sharks seen us
my heartbeat is, in perfect synchronicity
with whatever machine is circulating electricity
skill breach ethnicity, will beat ya' physically
till ya' see god, that's a religious epiphany
so it's no mystery, why we flow so sadistically
pain twisted me, inside the rain of it's misery
linguistically my, cancerous shower
cause a transfer of power, I'm the man of the hour
how I keep time make clocks stop to watch
leave time a verse behind everytime I rock the spot
I'm the curse, two dead lee like Brandon and Bruce
MC's kick a verse, then I hand them a noose
cause either way, once you run out of breath, it's certain death
believe what I say, what my lungs hold will burst your chest
if knowledge is power then I'm the mental dictator
my pen will rip major arteries, who wanna part of me?!
hail to the great, I hammer nails in your face
barbarian ape, I make the sound barrier break
carry my tape my voice travel on nuclear transportation
any rapper riding my style becomes a chronic cancer patient
my corrugated sabre blade is sharp as razors
all invaders of my dark chambers hearts are in danger
I throw a coat hanger down your throat hang you heartless
stiff as starch is, in a state of catharisis
fiberglass frames cry plastic mucus splinters
as your crimson blood spills in the massachusetts winter
throwing your staff in glowing baths of petroleum gas
photos I flash blow you in half and now your smoldering ash
the essence of eloquence, I'm dominant, no resistance for a pittance
I'll stop your portion of our co-existence
I strike the paltry, the holy taliban and papacy
your ballsy, my blade leave you spade for trying to rap with me
slash vas deferens in half past impotence
[Akrobatik]
Don't be mad at me, America created this bloodlust
it's time to be prepared for war, heads up when the scuds bust
you can fire your missiles, there no match for my New England patriot
the fear wells up inside of ya'
as they whistle past your tenament, my president set the precedent
that we don't need concrete evidence or no allied troops to represent
I'll bust your shit unilaterally
and any damage I suffer that's just collateral b
more fuel for the fire
but if you set fire to the fuel the stakes become higher
fourty-eight hours bitch bounce now
turn on the television if you wanna see the fucking countdown
counter attack I'm not having it
my smart bombs are sixty-six point six percent accurate
my leaders name's another word for pussy
slander and propaganda got me fucked up so don't push me
I'm full of savagery, so you don't wanna battle me
I kill the innocent and call it incidental casualties
your minds boggled, I got you slow to grab the throttle
I caught you sleeping with the help of my night vision goggles
I guarantee you dumb fucks won't sleep on me again
I see you sitting back cocky like Saddam in his den
I'm bombing your men, bombing your women, bombing your kids
check the box score on CNN to see what I did, bitch!
[Hook]
My rap flows militant, atten-chun!
the general, commander of the regiment
leveling your settlement the chief speaks eloquent
command presidents, with military intelligence. [x2]
[Virtuoso]
This is V-Day, we may need reinforcements for the fortress
their forces are drowning in an ocean of corpses
while I fly high above birds eye the war eagle
your feeble slash flows that blow like torpedoes
with our limbs aching, march from where we've been stationed
for invasion to capture and skin
we're making expansions to the shores which are foreign
we're going to war in the name of J.P. Morgan
Gates and Rockerfeller they get shot the hell up
while looters rush, grab the artifacts and rob Iraq of
the culture, from which the vulture stole the Jesus sculpture
knowing that if Christ was alive he would revolt ta'
see you fight for who could use his name in vain to tame the same
people that you claim you save
you gave us purple hearts and call them medals of bravery
but it feels more like I got shot for modern slavery
fuck a war! cause I got my legs blown off
while George Bush junior and senior were playing golf
for who would I vote, when politicians dream of spittin' two in my throat
leaving me sitting by a suicide note
send wire fuck the empire tell the men fire
I recommend dire consequence for them liars
soldier my flame thrower burn 'em to embers
then return 'em to sender with my terms of surrender
[Hook: x2]
[V:] The war horse, more force than an A-bomb
we take arms, cremating your body with napalm
we take on many
[A:] anybody get slayed
[V:] for every dollar on weapons, we spend a penny on AIDS
[A:] fuck research
cause if you ask me Virtch we already got the cure
but turned it down cause it works better on the poor
I think we got it fucked up for sure
intelligence is more
than finding out the oppositions plans for war
[V:] if the whole world respected love over fear
then a brother would hear your point without a slug in the ear
what kind of holy war has devils on both sides
who spend money on missiles not medical supplies
instead of stealth bombers if you spent the wealth on hospitals
[A:] Maybe every nation wouldn't want to take a shot at you
[V:] so the new battle plan is respect life in all elements
A&V;:now that's military intelligence!
[Hook:]
I'm virtuoso, I'm virtuoso
My brain is the deadzone
[x4]
[Verse 1]
Virtuoso so hard that I punch rocks
In the same casual manner factory workers punch clocks
It's mister slick, the sound of my voice make chicks
Lick they lips and twists they hips
I forced the hands of father time
Back to the days when rappers still bothered to author rhymes
I keep my technique under raps
Perhaps my vocal liquidation gets the loudest ovation
by makin' thunder claps so none of that, talk about gats
I speak decent sweep kick the bitch 'til musical style switch
Devil ray of notes, sprayin' throats wid laser quotes
Raisin' goats to headbutt you off the bridge of your own song
I'm so strong, the government made an attempt
To snatch both arms, off Virt then throw bombs
But you still in the Persian Gulf
If y'all suckas got juice then I'm submerged in pulp
You sayin' Virtuoso this and Virtusos that
But ya chick and her click say Virtuoso's the mack
You know that city slide be, makin' me weak
So I skate for three weeks then meditate on the beach
My speech is a vicious diatribe
You better off takin' a sip of cyanide
Than tradin' blows wid the odd hog
The real aim is, for us to make changes
'Stead of dwellin' on the past in anguish, that's dangerous
Threaten my life and you'll see what the knuckle does
Leave you and ya man laid out, like a couple rugs
Sucka what I cut you up into cubes over the groove
So don't be grimmin' like you got somethin' to lose
Tough guys, don't look in my eyes cause I don't see men
Unless I spray a thick chick with the se-men
I see them, haters ask what happened to incinerator
I burn they epidermis surface 'til they skin's a crater
I been a major innovator since a young child
I write, R&B;, rock and roll and rap dumb styles
So if you are, one side of you ain't gon' find it
Virtuoso's open minded and it ain't gon' hide it
Soon as I made a dance rap they said I'm too commercial
Love to see 'em shakin' no replacement for some universal appeal
Y'all need a few rehearsals for real
Sing and produce, get to it and kick the verse like I feel
Don't even attempt to touch, ya brush to my mental canvas
That's paintin' a landscape landless and doin' a handstand handless
It just can't be done, I'm aptly hung, wid a fancy tongue
Began the bridge at the, silver plated guerilla native
Sayin' Virtuoso I, bombed out by
Techniques that's so fly I got compound eyes
The light it spark three L's, the tiger shark le-gal
Can make you hear my flow forever like ya ear's a sea shell
[Hook x4]
[scratching of the lines]
[Mr.Lif] "Virtuoso start rippin' 'em"
Guess who this is
Big Virt
Slam to the real
All my life I've talked like this but I guess I'm just too honest
Cause it's, so hard to speak your mind
When half of the people clocking don't know how to keep the time
Bringing the kick smash stinging the sticks the Virtuoso
Your bird wants to step so beware like Coco
Oh no, he did it flip it the meticulous
Rhytmic precision of a metrinome mechanism
Is it him? Why yes in the flesh it's
Miguel-ito can I speak so fresh
Through techniques hypodermic needles filled with antidote
Neccisary precautionary measures for my cancer quotes
Grammar slow, fiery the burned sun
Oxygen tank numb box cutter shank tongue
Rolled over Moses, soldiers in the bulldozer choke
Gods high rollers smoke lah from Angola
That's been dusted with Ebola
Strike frames like world champ bowlers
So fly they call me air traffic controller
The leader of a team of tigers like mac notes
I patch most and my backstrokes will slap folks
Don't discriminate between Muslims and Christians
I speak to those who listen, spit in repetition
So it sticks in your mind like a thorn in your side
We been born and divide goin to war over pride
Now were gonna decide wether to hold a grudge
Put the gun to the side it's better to show some love
And roll some bud and get high as a kite
If god take me now it's aite, I wanna die on the mic
It's like
All my life I've talked like this but I guess I'm just too honest
Cause it's, so hard to speak your mind
When half of the people clocking don't know how to keep the time
The most integral parts of our community are usually number two or three
On our list of priorites, who's the minority who's majority
And what senority accepts somebody sayin all for me
In this american dream it becomes more apparent the scheme
Is that the rich will inherit the cream
We need to integrate, interracially interface
Cross inseminate summer and winter makes a splinter hate
I'm into safe livin, and if it means giving up people thinking I'm hard
Well that's okay I hate prison
In rap I'm the best there is, I ain't [? ]
Or half as fresh as this so give me your cash and Lexus's
Guess who this is
Big Virt
My strikes are fatale
Guess who this is
Big Virt
Slam to the real
All my life I've talked like this but I guess I'm just too honest
Cause it's, so hard to speak your mind
When half of the people clocking don't know how to keep the time
The Archbishop pass me the bread spark this bitch up
Hit them dark sisters with rhythm there hearts switch up
To match the pitch up so get up outta your seat
My fat grammar, jackhammer powder the streets
It's Virtuoso the most cunning linguist
I practice my raps while I'm performing cunnulingus
Rappers say they let more shells fly than beetles
Then in the same verse complain about they dying people
Now son you ain't got nothing to prove
And they just bucking at you cause they got nothing to lose
The true lesson, we need to stop stressin
Who's the hardest, walk away see another day stay modest
Lay with ya godess, get weeded up and seated up
Time for creation no more destruction I've seen enough
Virtuoso's on a global change mission
To get the opressed switched to the best social positions
We puff a double dutch, pass and skip past ya'll like double dutch
Chill and let the deep thoughts bubble up
All my life I've talked like this but I guess I'm just too honest
Cause it's, so hard to speak your mind
When half of the people clocking don't know how to keep the time
Guess who this is
Big Virt
My strikes are fatale
Guess who this is
Big Virt
Slam to the real
All my life I've talked like this but I guess I'm just too honest

[Virtuoso]
You told the soldiers fight for god got them slaugthering kids
now they sick taking naked flicks at Abu Ghraib
this is, a step back, not evolution for the torturer
let's fight for resolution revolution through a orchestra
there's more to the, regime change than democracy
hipocrisy so the elite can keep their monopoly
why so few control so much of the wealth
how you gon' stop corporate criminals you are one yourself
in business with the Bin Ladens rich off of Enron
Iraq building contracts to Cheney is dead wrong
and Rumsfeld don't even know how a guns held
let him fight his own battles faggot wouldnt shoot one shell
but they'll recruit high-schools for young kids
give 'em guns with lasers make them run up in some crib
to take a hostage no rights in Guantanamo
we onto those snakes, make them fall like dominoes
cause now they talking 'bout delaying the election
scare us with terror alerts and say it's for protection
won't let the U.N. count the votes afraid cause we are destined
to take away their power break away from their oppression
tell those masons we aint with their segregation
we want mind elevation, health care legislation
worldwide medication, answers why they not interrogating
Bin Ladens family just taking them back
to the Saudi's then they hit us with the patriot act
we want proof where's the truth start facing the facts
where's the bombs that Saddam used to make in Iraq
your either stupid or a liar start facing the fact, that...
[Hook]
You have no god, you have no armor
to defend your father who made this Osama
been paid from Bin Ladens, Saddam and the Taliban
so whose oil are you putting in your caravan? [x2]
[Slaine]
You know that I'm the type to fight I'm willing to brawl
if it still isn't right we can kill 'em all
we can go to war, with all these motherfuckers in the sand
we can take it to the Saudi's now we make 'em understand
the working class jerking that M-60
but if I'm going out fuck it I'm taking them with me
but tell me which lies, are the generated push lies
from the reagan administration on down to these Bush guys
manipulate the media, make it like you switched sides
economics trickle down, greedier rich guys
are tickled pink and it's sick to think
while we eatin' chicken wings
thinking how to stick the Brink's sicker things
are happening it's not inside of my head
we can't get Osama now so here's Saddam instead
sand battle fields are bloody and they're rotten and red
while Al Qaeda got a camera and there choppin our heads
and this is your America mine has never been Oil
Mr.Bush no we never made the president royal
so put your crown on that ground
the same ground that gave you your dollars and pounds
rupels and your yen
and look what you've created sir cause truly you are them
there's a 911 america the president is them
with his hand on the bible watch the devil in his sin
when his blood spills know that he was never innocent, No!
[Hook x2]
[Virtuoso]
Lemme explian why my heart is in pain
you trade lives for loot and claim fair market exchange
while my man from the block hit the marines at seventeen
exposed his soul to horrible killings he's never seen
lost more than fifty pounds trekking cross the desert ground
Afghanistan he's soon to hit Iraq with heavy weapon rounds
yo E rep your town cause the bean for your back
I'm just heated at the current regimes scheme of attack
the president dodged drafts, drive drunk and sniffed cane
and claim Clinton should have been impeached for dicking chicks brains
they think insane and it's plain that their priorities
stealing Florida by blocking votes from minorities
they want police state authority, Nazi mind control conformity
a world war like when we stormed Normandy
Cheney's the brain he's doctor evil with a broke heart
Bush senior runs the country junior couldn't run a go-kart
they start wars and use our tax to but their bombs
they're crazy rich from alcohol tobacco and firearms
and Bin Laden ain't gon' never get handled man
only wanted to build a pipeline through Afghanistan
Osama's father launder more cash
everytime we pour gas, while ghetto youth catch bullets in they poor ass
how can we compete when their base is the elite?
well I guess our only option is to take it to the streets
the last thing we wanted was to reach a civil war
but if our ass ain't living free, then what are we living for?
the last thing we wanted was to start a civil war
but if our ass ain't living free what the fuck are we living for?!?!
[scratching: "Yo I got a bigger plan"]
[Virtuoso]
Yea yea check it out, uhh
Aiyo yo
You now in tune with the Virtuoso
I don't preach or pose
I teach those who head the flows
Yo this cat slangs so much he speaks dope
So each quote is worth the geeno
For kicks give free coke to chicks for deep throat
From sleep walking for days
Dreamt that he was broke but he's paid
He hopes for the days when the evil life will feed his wife
Smoking the haze and peaceful pipes is rolled and jokers is jays
?? with razor blades
Business fell because of a major raid in Mexico
And right then he knew he was next to go
Everyone knows do the crime do the time
Behind the wall he's lifting weights and flexes
So by the time he gets out his pecks will grow
His bid was a breeze he got an extra giving him weed sex and doe
He bought a Lex and lay low heard about a major deal for yayo
And couldn't say no so he got slayed slow
They choked eighty breathes from his throat while his lady slept
And his baby wept the shiesty business brings a shady death
[Chorus]
You gotta know how to grow where the soils tough
If you want G's by the G's like a oil rush
Chase your dreams keep you're spare clean never soil it up
And you'll be guaranteed to win like a royal flush
[Virtuoso]
Transporting bricks his crew whole keys like Solomon
Cam cording chicks whose whole steez is modeling
His man starting fix through four g's were waddling
A problem that's soon solved revolver shell shoted him
His fam filled his coffin with jewelery
Parents held hands while they talked in his eulogy
Came in the form of a ride from his little brother
Who swore he know the killers mind with a clip of thunder
He given other clicks chips for info
Watching' which way the wind blow from his window
As he kept his eye on the block
Found the liars that popped the shots
Was his brother's crew who fired the glock
He got wired and hot dropped the top dog
Got him and shot him but the problem was that the cops saw
Now his parents wonder why the failed
One son done by gun the other one hung with life in jail
[Chorus]
You got to know how to grow where the soils tough
If you want G's by the G's like a oil rush
Chase your dreams keep you're spare clean never soil it up
And you'll be guaranteed to win like a royal flush
You got to know how to grow where the soils tough
If you want G's by the G's like a oil rush
Chase your dreams keep you're spare clean never soil it up
And you'll be guaranteed to win like a royal flush
[Virtuoso]
This is dedicated to shady ladies who have babies
And cats just to flash the Mercedes and stash the gravy
And maybe it couple of back stabbing people who tried to play me
They couldn't fade me they only made me stronger life is crazy
Like an animal with rabies - today? Miguel's running the mic
But I been waiting all my life for cats to pay me
Words felt like ??? Now that the worlds shady like Hades
Respect my ladies save me from being lazy
So I praise the lord for the friends of my life afraid and torn
I stay in form and thank the one for the day I was born
Blunts and crazy sess lay and wonder why the babies wept
Why they spraying thunder so they may be wet
I say we get moving and shaking making connections
With every section of our mother earth for her protection
Cause monetary divisions industrial prisons
And racism only lead to a global cataclysm
[Chorus]
You got to know how to grow where the soils tough
If you want G's by the G's like a oil rush
Chase your dreams keep you're spare clean never soil it up
And you'll be guaranteed to win like a royal flush
You got to know how to grow where the soils tough
If you want G's by the G's like a oil rush
Chase your dreams keep you're spare clean never soil it up
And you'll be guaranteed to win like a royal flush
Yea yea... Big Virtuoso
[Hook: scratching of the lines]
"Anyone!"
"Act out and probably get a bruise"
"Step out of place, they get slap in they face"

[Verse 1]
The date was approximately October 17th
Just finished my four forty and sparked my eleventh beef
I sit on the Charles river the temperature falls I shiver
Wid a false sense of mind from bottles that scarred my liver
So we rally troops, and roll to Harvard Square in browsy groups
Thinkin' shall we scoop girls wid booties as ripe as Cali fruit
We get there, one of the best pair of fellas I know
Bat & One scat to gone to unborn pain
To drain the lizard see this dame exquisite
Now peep my game I hit it later right now
My crew pushin' through, lookin' like somethin' major's happenin'
Seein' how they be, wid One in back of 'em
They told me that some kids up in the bathroom was harrassin' em
Spotted em and went after them, and when we catchin' em
We tappin' them on the shoulder and then my soldiers are askin' em
Were they talkin' thrash they said no and started walking fast
Knocked his ass flat on the ground he got his nostril slashed
And left one cat standin' so my man turned around and back
handed not lookin' I heard the smack landin'
And then we step from the scene thinkin' we extra mean
Next we see the cats we beefed wid, come back wid extra team
[Hook]
In life there's many situations
Which can lead to confrontation
Take the time for contemplation
Try to end it with a conversation
Cause the complications which evolve
Get you torn without the need to spit revolver shells
Miguel remembers back when I was young
We would fight wid our fist
And now these kids'll crack ya lung
Wid a pipe or a brick
And all the sons pack a gun
will take ya life wid a clip
So no gettin' in a fight is like slicin' ya wrists
[Verse 2]
They came back with a football team to be exact
The one was so tall that I could barely see the cat
He squared up he said hit me and see what happens
An open invite to fight boy you better believe I'm scrappin'
So I wound up, and then I gave his face a pound what
He on the ground completed because his beef was ground up
I turned around ducked a sucka punch I'm about to knuckle up
When one junior snuck in an uppercut
And G came flyin' wid dreadlocks, threw him in a headlock
Kicked his lips 'til they bigger than a breadbox
Soon they called in the riot squad
they tryin' hard to break it up
Kids punchin' pigs leavin' they bacon cut
They shakin' up they cans of pepper mace
Once cop wet my face two boys grabbed me we had to jet the place
My boy One got caught you know he's lyin'
He's like Sir, I was just passing through
When punches started flyin'
Washin' my eyes in the sink they burnin' and pink
To think, I almost spent a night in the clink
And then I paged my crew told 'em meet me at the crib
Y'all know where the pad at kid
We bout to smoke a fat ass blizz
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
And yo, we got home not more than bout four
Mattresses laid out on the floor like savages
we crashed the backdoor
My man asked for a bandage cause his hand was hurtin'
And his shirt and elbow rip
heads told me the big fellow hit wit my fist
Son he had a seizure in the pit
When spit dripped out his lip
We kicked the shit out his click
And not one of us got arrested
While half the fools we dusted in the duel
They holdin' in the cooler clutchin' swollen medullas
When we rolled into the school the next day
I heard my friends say damn son you served they ass a proper chunk
They tried to play you but you got the punks
I told 'em that's right
boy we the click it ain't no stoppin' us
But that was back in the days
Now these bitch ass, actors will blaze
They roll packin' a guage
So the moral's don't fight
I won't front it was a dope night
But when involved wid violence ya liable to get ya throat sliced
[Del]
You wan lock horns, just cause you got scorned
wanna get your plot on? D got forms of
warm receptions, important perceptions
so foreign projections in the projects, keep me
protected, cause secret objections we greet with
aggression, we teach em' a lesson we breach the
deception, we eat ya' for breakfast complete the
suggestion, defeating oppression the weak will retreat
with a weapon, if the walls will cease
then I'm all for peace, that's my core belief
so why would I wanna war and beef, I don't need more to eat
so I don't horde the meat, the lure of the streets
is sure to keep, weak motherfuckers trying ta beat
motherfuckers I, seek and disrupt the frame of mind
that's corrupted, skim haters of they grim nature
strugglin' to get paper while they spit vapor.....
[Hook]
famous facists aiming plane crashes
insane clashes, the war of the masses
caskets, cremated to ashes
in this disastrous, world war of the masses
remain passive or aim and blast it
the past is, gone it's the war of the masses
[Virt]
as we checking out of the second millenium
hear the reckoning beckoning
prefects are involved in religious lecturing
infecting in the peoples mind, evil festering
questioning they lessons and they ride on you like
an equestrian, psychotic off anti-biotics
and chemical bi-products the medicals try on us
I promise that every word is a comet
a bom for the congress, who claim to see beyond Nostradamus
you can rely on bibles if you need a guide to
provide you with vital knowledge thats born inside you
my haiku typhoon remind you
false idols blind you, crucify and bind you
why do the mass of us not see cash we lust
half of us need dough but people slash they cut
then pass the crust, most leave little for those after us
from ass and nut to ash and dust
[Hook]
[V:] The mercenaries we sent to retrieve the verse of aries
cursed to carry dead weight on our backs like hearsts that bury
[D:] Jerks immersed in the worst affairs we could describe
the impact of lies on earth is scary
business to witness, but Del and Virtch are very
revolutionary
[V:] Immune to any torture tactics
practice to beat the system lilke victims of an abusive family
[D:] Then who can we trust?
[V:] few if any
confusion led me to abuse the henny
but then the music let me see that there was
better ways to use my pennies
[D:] using various options, choosing every concoction
cause losings an illusion I foster
like who is your partner, he doing the cha-cha
I see through it cause I do what I got ta'
[V:] the fluid we author, for your mind shine
lucid to oculars, and magnify the truth like binoculars
