1.Numb To Life
Are you numb to life？＊
Have you seen it all and done it？
More than once or twice
Can you come precise？
Or do you just not give a fuck？
When your mitts are on the dice
When you roll that seven
Are you happy, do you smile and clap man
Can you have fun while I rap？
Or do you hate me？
Please don't make me hear that you do
I'm, right now, put you on the guest list
While you drink check this out, it's the new shit
Doubt it's the true shit when you get the bozack
Take some prozac crews ain't actin right these days
We raise like wages if you do right
New-type shit from the get so
What's the skit no
Tell me that you're dope
And I'm pokin fun at the one that she's gropin
Smokin to the side
And a little back
Make it coincide with the place I like to be at
React to routine with change
And if you can't feel that this is probably out your range
I'm godly hotly enough you could spot it
If you peeped out the product I'll light it two times
Gotta true crime that mind with the rhyme
And I know, it's not feeling the same
I'm still in the game
Ability to reign
Appealin with brain
Just chillin the same as I always been
And that's the key
So what you wanna hear and whatcha wanna see, G？
R O U C
H, that's the answer
What's that sound like？
What's that sound like？
What's that sound like？ GOOOOOD
What's that sound like？
What's that sound like？
Now what's that sound like？ real GOOOOOD
It's all about the tone
Soundwaves and frequencies
Frequently I'm freakin these
I bring straight from up above eazy
Come buy you some if you don't think freely
Really it's crunch time
Punch lines don't get you over
Can't see a damn thing sober
Knowing you're the one with the opportune knock don't stop
That was the cops, at your front door
And once you're receptive what you do's effective
Don't lose your objective
It's 99 now
And I like this
Feelin rightness when they try to take my hypeness away
Well straight from my duty
I stay in the cooty til dawn
Truly it's on it's my song can't sue me
Oooie Ooie I see how the days get played
When the latest of the greatest is conveyed in charades, I
Made this to pave not to pay my way
Got to say what I think
Anything can happen
That's the break, I'm on rappin
Cappin, ？？？？ with the inside your pen write it down
Might it sound fresh well thank you
Bank on the bet that life is gonna gank you
When you need to be ？？？？ do it yourself
Learned about ？？？？？？ when I was fishin for help
I got the hookup, got to look up
Down, right, left, march
This artistic movement I do it for a reason
2.Simple Man
What are you？＊
I'm just a simple man
I like pretty things
I'm a simple man, really
I'm just a simple man
I like pretty things; I like funny things
I like my high hats on eight notes
Basic, don't double up the flow
I ride the beat; you chase it
Hennessey straight with the lemon squeezed to quench
Sounds from the town, they pound with intent
Experiment with this like it's different 'cause it is
They make the norm, and it's not what I live
I give my all and want to ball like y'all
But I can only spit my shit, you get it？
I'm not a clone; I got a zone, and Grouch fits in
Forever rockin' twenty-dollar pants to the end
I stand six-one and eat food with cheese in it
Make g's and spend it at the music store
I never use no more than my head to be led where I'm goin'
Knowin' points of interest well
And with the sense it takes to make underground tapes dope
I formulate how I set sail
Whether direct or retail I prevail on tracks
Borrow from a batch of, let's say, garbage-ass records
Not too safe to me with few exceptions
True direction comes from inside the mind
And everything else is just accessories
That is my recipe for life, invest in me
I want my lady here tonight caressin' me
Now you can pay me in this type necessity
Electricity of mic, invest in me the soul
I'm just a simple man
I like pretty things
I'm a simple man, really
I like funny things; I like beans and rice
I'm just a simple man
I like stupid things
I'm a simple man, really
I like funny things; I like cheap things
Give me the body of a goddess ？？？？ from God
It's odd how things fall in place
I'm all about good taste, expensive or not
No sensitive spot in you, I like what I got
Now don't mistake man for mind, 'cause I'm not simple-minded
Just logical, efficient and completely on time
With my thoughts in the process always bring progress
I guess this clockwork enabled me to not work
Nine to five, I rhyme and drive to eat
Check the Internet, fuck and make a beat
Go to wack show, sometimes it's still fun
We criticize fools for bitin' on Big Pun
Since this is the West Coast I like my hip-hop bumpin'
Get heated off some wax with the side of sayin' something
In the trunk and in the earphones
I'll make it clear, homes
I'm all about how it sounds
I deal with audio
My graffiti looks like shit
I dress how I dress and can't really dance a lick
The chance is this shit might never catch on
But my friends like my songs, and I like my songs
Life-long endeavors for the pleasure
Measure of ？？？ comin' weak, that's the treasure
I'm just a simple man
I like basic things
I'm a simple man, really
I like pretty things; I like dope things
I'm just a simple man
I like music fresh
I'm a simple man, get it？
I'm just a simple man
I like pretty things; I like pretty girls
[Don't you just be something on a shelf; just always be
yourself]
3.Too Much On It
Too much on it (on it)＊
Too much on it (on it) {＊singing in background＊}
Too much on it (on it) (La la la la la la la la la la la la..)
Too much on it (on it)
Where's my coke
No time for petty shit
I cannot hold a straight face when i politic
I'm above all of this so you could talk fast
You could spit stare or laugh when i walk past
I don't give a fuck it's all flowin now
I sport Hennessy and food when I'm goin out
I don't pay to play i do this everyday
I don't need to look your way i got my eyes on the prize
I hear them lies and they kinda make me mad
Kinda make me grab for space empty and sad
Don't see my face and jump to conclusions
I'll pump this EQ, shit is best
I'm using arrest, the reminisce
Skipped on attendance, they guided me nowhere
Can't trip if they spin this
Put it on a 10 inch they still couldn't see me
Go buy The Grouch or wait till they believe me
Then I'm like Stevie but i got the anger
Do you wanna hang or act like a beggar
My face is blank i ain't got no mug
Relax and dig this don't tell me what you dug
Bug in the system, everybody's bitchin'
Go and set your risk then if that's your mission
(If that's your mission)
There's too much on it (on it)
Kick back and act like you love life and want it
There's too much on it (on it)
Tomorrow's on the way, don't trip off today
{＊singing＊} (3x)
{La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la}
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna hate you or think that you're fake
I don't wanna trip off no stupid shit
Or get tripped on when you feelin that I'm wrong
I just wanna write maybe tonight
Don't wanna have to prove to anyone I'm cool
I jus wanna be, I jus wanna see
Taste, smell and hear, live for hella' years
I don't wanna die, don't wanna have to cry
Don't wanna want to hate without a reason why
This is what it is and only what it is
Have an open mind, make your own kind
Earn your own dime, be real with you
Be real with him and be real with her too
Earn your own dime, be real with you
Be real with him and be real with her too
{＊singing＊} (3x)
{La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la}
Too much on it (on it)
Too much on it (on it)
Too much on it (on it)
Too much on it (on it)
4.Wish You A Good Day
I don't . . .＊
No I don't . . .
I don't . . .
I don't wanna see you cry now
I wonder why you were pushed to the point
Where you felt you couldn't take no more
Look in my eyes now
I wanna show you that I care
And I can't stand to see you hurting
I love the one you are
I'm not too far away
To help you if you when you need that
If you're my mom, my brother, my friend
My lover, my sister
I wanna wish ya a good day
I wanna wish ya a good day
Since you were feelin' down and lonely
My crew is homey
Hit me up, man
How long have you known me
We strong in this life game
Fuck the right lane, get to movin'
Cruising at a speed
Where nobody can touch us
Show 'em that it's just us
We came for justice
So true they have to trust us
Fuck anyone who cussed us out
And thrust the doubt over this way
Know that dismay we caused was much
Aw, with such emotion we were 'posed to think
Close to the brink of genius
And you know I mean this
And we the cleanest, fuck what anybody say
And on any given day I want you laughin'
You don't need an aspirin
You don't need to cap him
You don't need to act in any situation
We face them head on
Stay headstrong
Until I'm dead and gone I'm here
And I don't wanna see you worry or fear
About a moment that's near
Now do I make myself clear
I see the pain within your face love
And know the struggle it takes
To give yourself is often overwhelming
And though we share love
And I feel I know you well
I cannot guess what you do not tell me
Now we can sail the sea away today
I want you navigating close to me
That's how it's supposed to be
That's what I chose to see
But my peripheral vision
I'm living blind to the fact
That if I look a little closer
It's that detail he failed to recognize
I'm checking eyes and lips
Movements to soothe it
You say your cool
But think and don't lose it
I use that to build your trust
And in the end
It'll make me the man of all men
If you're my woman
That means we're double strong
Troubles long gone from my visions
I'm feeling how you're livin'
How you livin'
Now everything you do is for your kids
Mommy don't cry, you know I love you
You never give up, you always live
What way you say best and it is that
How can I give back all that I know you do
I wanna show you to a life of no stress
At times I protest the things you say
But hey, you're always right at the end of the day
Begin with the way you taught me
And it got me this far, thus far I'm happy
I hope you are too
Put you through hard times
I know it scarred you
Must have imagined
You gave birth to an evil dragon
And it saddens me that I
Could have ever been the cause
For runnin' your teary eye
5.Zip It
Man, I can't believe that dude came up to me talkin'＊
He had the audacity to think that was like, cool or somethin'
Just all up in my ear, talkin' all that game
Yap yap yap yap yap
When the path of some discussions change up like percussion
The tempo of some conversations leave me out in limbo
Here's something
You might have been through
Or maybe, you haven't been through
It's simple
To be the devil's advocate with your opinions
True stories
They never bore me
The true, they don't ignore me
It's amazing when they think they know you so well
To tell the tales
Foot in their mouths
Packed with negativity
Talkin' about my family, thinkin' that it's just you and me
No, I'm not Corey
And no Corey ain't Tom
And no your smoke ain't the bomb
Ain't tryin' to put you on in the mix of things
Tricks they got, keen eyesight
They focus upon those in magazine's that hold mics
Alright, up in the bull's eye, dodgin' all the bullshit
Holdin' onto sanity, stay away from full clips
These two tricks approached me one day after one show
And said, 'Yo, I like your flow. But man, you really should go
solo.'
I took a pause
Let the lighter ignite my beadie
Then I turned around and slapped them little fools with my CD
On me, don't ever walk up and disrespect my brothers
Unless, you want some trouble from a rather peaceful brother
A wrong turn, made in an effort to rub elbows
First impressions stick like bitch covered in Elmer's (glue)
'Ahh, it sticks'
It's the outlandish things they wanna say to me
Who do you claim to be？ You're just ashamed of me
You want to hit us with your gossip but you're really out of
pocket
Take your mouth and lock it
Zip it
Stop it
The outlandish things they wanna say to me
Who do you claim to be？ You're like the same to we
Too many slick at the lip when they can't skip it towards me
With the ideas they had
Most of them just bore me
Now I do take criticisms like shits and flush 'em
Undeservin' egos
Me？ I crush 'em
Hush 'em in the cock pit for snubbin' up my folks
Crackin' jokes
Laughin' at the stories we collected like some soaps
I'm the fuck off the ropes cause I never listen hard
When Four Track tapes might has well have been barred
You gained a foot I gained a yard
You're in the door, I built a second floor
When you hand me a flier to my own show I'm steppin' more
Faster
Protectin' mine like masters
I didn't ask for your opinion
Why would I？ You're beginnin'
Or else you're on your way out
Seein' the light as it fades out
Yours is over here
Fork it over dear
That's my money
When you start actin' funny then I know it is
And when they say I sound like someone else they must be blowin'
His dick (slurp slurp)
And he knows you're a jerk because he told me
And when we do a song, then you're gonna have to like me
And if you only like me, then you're gonna have to like him
That's the way we're writin'
Signin' off, A Titan
It's the outlandish things they wanna say to me
Who do you claim to be？ You're just ashamed of me
You want to hit us with your gossip but you're really out of
pocket
Take your mouth and lock it
Zip it
Stop it
The outlandish things they wanna say to me
Who do you claim to be？ You're just ashamed of me
You want to hit us with your gossip but you're really out of
pocket
Take your mouth and lock it
Zip it
Bitch said, 'The Grouch？ Uuuuah!
Doesn't he still live with his mom and make beats in the
basement？ Duuh？
Aren't Tom and Corey a little too old to be rapping？
I mean it's all good and everything because you see, you're
young
But I used to go to parties back at um, 4001
Don't you think about the future？ I mean it used to be cool
But what about going jobs and goin' to school？'
'Bitch, look at your life! Ain't you shootin' porn？'
Ain't nothin' worse than a fuckin' groupie scorn
Speakin' on my crew, like that's not my family
You should really watch for who, you choose to speak candidly
Cause I'm a tattle tale
Bout to e-mail the crew with them words you just said
Should have gave me (skull) instead of talkin' head
Now you got me walkin' Fed Express towards the exit
Just like I had a motor
But first I crossed paths with this dick head promoter
'Aye aye, you need to do my club.'
Knows I rock for free cause I do it for the love
I said, 'Please don't curse
L-O-V-E, shit that's a four letter word
So I'ma let you know just in case you haven't heard
I don't MC for free
And that's period
So if it ain't doe, then I'm really not hearin' it.'
'Oh you gotta be jokin'.'
'Hell, naw I'm serious
Respect my authori-tie
And quit ignorin' my receipt for dues paid
I mean, who's brigade was you really tryin' to ask？
I mean, that shit is in the past
Rockin' shows for petty cash
I already mashed on your homie
For comin' at me the wrong way.'
It's about to be a long day
I exit the wrong way in an attempt to escape
The fools out front beggin' for the free tape
Cause my name's on the bill
They think I'm full blown
But I also got my name on some bills at home
And I can't pay for shit with a dope freestyle
Beadie breath and a smile is all you gettin' from me
So when you disappointed by that wack show that you see
Just think to yourself, 'FUCK! I should've just bought a Good
Music CD.'
6.Stop Spying
What's up baby？ What you lookin' for？ What are you counting？
Huh？＊
What the fuck they lookin' at that hides behind my back？＊
I'm just an ordinary guy with a knack to kick a rap
Wondering why they wanna have that information on me
What I buy at Latees isn't really exciting
I'm fighting my way
Through the camera laid store
And when I purchase something
They wanna know more
But what for man？
I'm talkin' Radio Shack
The good guys that's all bad, they created a stack, a file
I wanna wile but I'll settle for the discount
She's bound to come back though
Ten fold
I'm only twenty three years old and bold
Never owned a weapon so what the fuck they stressin' for
I go for walks in the wilderness wonderin'
Do the trees see？ And what the fuck do they want with me？
If they do man, I'm trippin'
Sippin' on some brew cause reality is cuckoo
Rewind the tape, that's his face
He was in the wrong place
Run his social
We got it all here, he's local
This is what he knows
And this is what he owes
Here's where he goes to buy his clothes
Man if they really want the run down on me they should ask
I'm a person
Nothin' to hide but my ass
For certain
I caught them peepin' and keepin'
Account of my actions
What the fuck they trackin'？
What the fuck they trackin'？
Add the information up then put it in a pile
Take a picture trick, you'll never get my style down
What they want with my grocery list？ Most of this is outta hand
Now you can't...see me
I bought this Hennessy at 9：23
On the southside of S.C. with my last fuckin' twenty
？ pigs cause they'd dig to know that info
Swipe the magnetic stripe and void it before it ends so
I get to sweatin' and lookin' over my shoulder
Actin' like I'm stupid and it's only gettin' colder than this
If they miss a word I heard it's on tape
But all I do is kick it and try and create
They keep eyein'
I keep supplyin' tracks with no tax so
Ask for the facts but don't send them via fax／fac-
-simile
I act timid, he
Much more in it than out
Shout when the don't watch
Pout, no I won't
Got a hunch
Underground is lunch to that bunch
Stomp while they spyin'
Just knock 'em out and say 'die'
I lay myself low in the cut
Knowin' it was
Today's convenience got 'em seein' shit tomorrow
Borrow the tape and make hate come out
Before we run out of time
I wanna see 'em go blind
Before we run out of time
I wanna see 'em go blind
7.Every Day Is Saturday
Some motherfucker gon' do today. Got shit to do. Got shit to do＊
Now everybody used to tell me, 'Go to school.'
Down what I was doing and treat me like a fool
I've always been a cool cat even when I had no friends
You see I dreaded in the F and lived it up on the weekends
I wasn't freakin' them Thursday nights, right
Had to get up in the mornin'
No time for night life
Full schedule of classes and work after that
Used to jerk on my dick cause I had no time to mack
I knew I couldn't be a college MC
Man, I want this world and knowledge in me
And that starts today
Mark the way, I say my words in a text book
I can write an essay but if you gave me less than an A...
You weren't fuckin' with the way that I think
I'd rather travel the globe then study to be a shrink
Or a lawyer or a doctor, man that's proper but it's not me
I got to be
Chillin' in my spot free of stress
I see the best road and I'ma take it
Make it easy to succeed cause I got something you need
Time to get my shit straight
Write my poems
No bustle in my hustle, just muscle in my dome
Foamin' at the mouth in front of mics for bein' hype
I used to say I was a rapper and they try to take me light
Weight／wait, I drop heavy shit
Always ever ready with the verse to kick in any situation
And if you tastin' delicacy
Man there no way else to call it
All it takes is time, money, love, friends, drive, gab,
connections
Direction, focus, luck, skill, soul, style, image, sales and
more mail
And now every day's a Saturday my friend
I go to sleep wake up and yo it's Saturday again
I say every day's a Saturday my friend
I go to sleep wake up and yo it's Saturday again
And now every day's a Saturday my friend
I go to sleep wake up and yo it's Saturday again
And now every day's a Saturday again
Every day's a Saturday
(What do we do？)
We hit Hawaii in the winter
Who's payin' for my dinner？
Not sayin' I'm a skinner, man I'm fuckin' with the perks
Hate knowin' how it hurts to hit the snooze button twice
When you're probably late as hell and the air's cold as ice
Not even on-call man, it's a long haul to work
Traffic jams are gone
And when all you can do is yawn
It's all for me, I'm nocturnal with this furlow
That means heat, I bring the knock when you sleep, peep
I'm only tryin' to have fun
If it weren't for my free time, it's safe to say I'd have none
And so I spit it like I got it
Relax, not off narcotics
And jotted down my raps instead of notes
Got it？
Good
Get the other vibe, keep my love alive
I ride the rhythm not the bark from apart, it's society
People always tryin' to be freelancin' shit
But see, chances is, it won't happen if you're slackin'
Reactin'？
No role, gotta slow your roll
Everyone can't do it
It was meant for me and I knew it
Never disillusioned
Flexible and cruisin'
Day to day fusion my views in the music
Are easy to jump to conclusions
Stump what's confusin'
I'm awake while they snoozin'
I said every day's a Saturday my friend
I go to sleep wake up and yo it's Saturday again
And now every day's a Saturday, friend
I go to sleep wake up and yo it's Saturday again
I said every day's a Saturday buddy
I go to sleep wake up and I do somethin' nutty
I say every day's a Saturday
Every day's a Saturday
Every day's a Saturday
Now every day's a Saturday
'To the end of the week I live by the beat like you live check
to check' - Outkast 'Elevators (Me And You)'
8.For A Few
Say what？ Hip hop
This is for the true＊
People that I met in this game, thank you
I never will forget
And this is for my crew
To everything we been through
The blood and the sweat
And to those who aren't knowin' yet
Fuck you
To those who aren't showin' it them we been in this shit to the
end
It's rather amazing
Us fazing this planet with the elements
For, we adore
Open for, we are tellin' it
Sellin' it and buyin' it
Lovin' it, tryin' it
New ways, always, we all play a role in it
All day I'm holdin' it down
Crown myself the king of the sound
I bring it around
Where I roam
Any zone, come alone
Leave with friends, come with friends
Leave with many more
I'm a penny more
Continue to make dollars
They hear the hollers
Soon fathers teach sons till it comes
Natural
This is for the batch who'll
Bring it to the next level then repeat that
Hold the weak back till they can freak that
Which they can
And it expands to ever nook
So every hook I'm inkin' out
Got you thinkin' 'bout
Somethin'
Jumped into the game
To make change, a name, use my brain
Aim has been met
I'm further in debt, yep
Kept pushin'
Even when they wouldn't listen, radio diss 'em
Failin' at they mission and not knowin'
I talk slow and
Instead of fast
Headed past pussy ass position holders
Without boulders between they legs
They spreadin' plagues
I've said ways any and all can understand
I still wonder
Damn
I still wonder
This is for the true
People that I met in this game, thank you
I never will forget
And this is for my crew
To everything we been through
The blood and the sweat
And to those who aren't knowin' yet
Fuck you
To those who aren't showin' it them we been in this shit to the
end
From the second we press record
A reason to kick it was made
He get's paid, hey
Display talent he gave
Trouble, I made double on a tape sale
Than my hourly wage
And I can't praise cowardly ways
I stay around hustlers and hang out
Go to other parts, check your thing out
Qualities you bring out
Evolve with these traits
We keep faith, keep wastin' rules
We learn how to earn and still be cool
I'm gonna rule the underground first
Later fuck the majors over
Slower players do your job
Hit the gob of green, hit the top queen
There's no stoppin'
No matter if you're talking in another language
Strangest thoughts got light in the spotlight
Not like they used to get, no I can't get used it
Faith that I paraded through a foreign land
Scorin'
Damn good points
When people threw my joints
There's no equal to this movement
I only want improvement
Daily
Maybe folks can feel me through my baby
Hip hop save me
Without you I'd be crazy
A lazy man with no friends and no ends
This is for the true
People that I met in this game, thank you
I never will forget
And this is for my crew
To everything we been through
The blood and the sweat
And to those who aren't knowin' yet
Fuck you
To those who aren't showin' it them we been in this shit to the
end
