Lyrics

Right Now

[Termanology:]

The mayor chilling at the bar taking shots with us

Spanish food, red rice, fried octopus

Feds taking pictures watching through binoculars

Bunch of automatic weapons with the cop killers

The governor in the mix with the pawns

With that stripper Yvonne and that Christian Louboutin

I got everything on me, I’m talking any amount:

[All you need. . .]

Yup yup, I got it, been

Hooked on chronic since hooked on phonics

I’m a new breed, grown from a new seed

Hydroponic robotic demonic super MC

Supercalifragilistic piff

Alphabet boys with warrants to take prints

Damn. I wish I had a spaceship

Even the Lord told me:

[All you need. . .]

Is to raise up out of here

The streets only gonna give you grays or a lotta years

Me? I’m starting to show my age when I volunteer

To cut somebody off, the team getting smaller every year

Yeah. Sipping bottles in the mirror

Tears down my cheek, wish I could bottle every tear

Wish I could stop my mama’s tears, like “Mom, here”:

[All you need. . .]

I’m watching videos on Worldstar

Rappers making it rain while half of the world starve

Me, I’m just stripping these rhymes, writing these real bars

Still up in the hood; when I’m not, sometimes I feel odd

Who said your album sound real hard?

WWW dot FAILBLOG

Dot com that’s right

Try giving up the mic, that’s

[All you need. . .]

I can’t take it any more

There’s no big tiggers in the basement anymore

There’s no more skills whole place spitting bars

Just a juvie and a cause. Damn

No more creativity

The ability to raise the bar lyrically

Comparing me, mentally, I’m a top ten MC:

[Right now. . .]
