What's golden - live at brixton academy

(Zaakir)

Check it out now...

I work the pen to make the ink transform

On any particular surface the pen lands on

Zaakir is hands on, what's the beef?

The Cooley High cold chief high post techniques

I drape off poetic landscapes and shapes

Illustrate the paper space off the pens that paint

Then design what have a National Geographic a magic

With tailor-made status and plus favored is automatic

(Chorus)

We're not balling

We take it back to the days of yes y'all-in'

We holding onto what's golden

(PE Sample) *On a stage I rage and I'm rollin'*

We're not balling, or shot calling

We take it back to the days of yes y'all-in'

We holding onto what's golden

(PE Sample) *On a stage I rage and I'm rollin'*

(Marc 7even)

Melancholy mundane so I tame the hot flame

Big rings, fat chains, and y'all quest for the same

No name, use fame, strictly new to the thang

We stay true to the game and never bring it to shame

We tight like dreadlocks or Redd Foxx and ripple

We pass participles, and smash the artist in you

The saga continues, this I won't get into

'Cause there ain't enough bars to hold the drama that we been through

(Akil)

Yo...

We still the same with a little fame

A little change in the household name but ain't too much changed

We in the game but, yo not to be vain

I refrain from salt grains to season up my name

We entertain for a mutual game from close range

Steady aim, drum at your head to hit the brain

I'm labor ready, Rhodes Scholar for the dollar

Work for mines pay me by the hour

(Chorus)

Hip...Hop

(times that by four in differnt intervals)Music, the hop music

(Charli 2na)

Yo...

Well, it's the verbal Herman Munster

The word enhancer, sick of phony mobsters controllin' the dance floor

I been in dark places, catch you when you stark naked

Your heart races as we pump you for your chart spaces

The tart taste is me bringing these hot styles through

Some of you bum a few cheers from shock value

Word power can plow through acres of cornfields

Paragraphs cut like warm steel, perform ill...

(Chorus)
