Pharoahe Monch - - Desire (2007) by Pharoahe Monch (보컬) on maniadb.com

Ooooooo OOOooo freedom x3
For me....

And before I'll be a slave
I'll be buried in my grave
And go home to my God and be free....

I'm x10
I'm Free!!
Free!!
Free!!

(Hook)
You can take my ways, shackle and chain me
Back straight, standin' tall , child of God I'm (Free!)
Spit in my face, hold me down
I keep my feet firm to the ground cause I'm (Free!)

(Verse 1)
Ya A&R's the house nigga, the label is the plantation
Now switch that advance for your emancipation
You seeds in the field, like picked cotton for real
I pop glocks like Beat street with an option to kill
They take the strongest of slaves to compete in a track meet
For the king of the city, sing songs of back streets
Choruses of cocaine tales and black heat
Only to trade niggas like professional athletes
They'll take that merchandising
Snatch that publishing
Pack that black ass, ship you to London
Buy a way to France, Germany, Dublin
A real rogue from underground like Harriet Tubman
While y'all stay struggling, we smuggle MCs through the streets
They'll be bubblin' on mixed CDs, hustlin'
Klan seen me on the block and said, "Freeze!"
I said, "Fuck you! I'm a man, I'm Free!"


(Hook)

Ok...

(Verse 2)
I give birth to verses in churches with no confession
So please pardon my postpartum depression
A-list MCs can spit it in C-sections
For immature minds to get it with each lesson
Three Fifth's of a man ask nigga with no plans,
"How you discussin' publishing figures without a ?Man.?"
They got digital codes on the music for them to scan
So even when you sample a snare you payin' the clan
Now Google Pharoahe Monch, search "trescadecaphobia" (triskaidekaphobia")
I'll explain while these 'City Banks' 'watch over ya/Wachovia'
I peeped the future in my sleep
To be honest man, we never had a 'Mutual' relationship with 'Washington' (Why?)
Cause i believe they put the virus in the latex
Condoms that they sell us, call it "Safe Sex"
When i spit, they not only call it just a glitch in the Matrix
But an errorless, terror threat that they aint even face yet


(Hook)

Unh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh!

(Hook)
Said it's my desire!! Yes it is! yeeeaaah
Yes it is, yes it is, oh yea....

Comprehend the guidelines
My chest out, chinchilla'd or relaxed on the sidelines
I'm so famous, understand
New York City respect my game like Joe Nameth
And I protect my name like yo' anus...in prison
Y'all don't hear me
Y'all don't listen
Y'all just wanna shine
Y'all just wanna glisten
Floss, knowin' the soul is still missin'
Who am I? I'm the poetical pastor
Slave to a label but i own my master
Still get it poppin' without artist and repertoire
Cause Monch is a "Monarch", minus the A & R
When my brain excels
Your train derails
Pop shit, make you feel the 'Clipse'/clips like Pharell
You will feel me
You will admire
My struggle
My hustle
My soul
Desire

(Hook 2)

(Hook)

Said its myyyyy desire
yeeaaaah

My book's an ovary, the pages i lust to turn
My pen is the penis, when i write the ink's the sperm
Desire - the fire that ignites the torch that burns
This is not rocket science, this is easy to turn
My mic's a gavel, when i talk court's ajurned
Respect, even if you was 'ashes' you couldn't 'urn'
I embody antibiotics, you are infected with germs
Rap's fatally ill, please get concerned
Players pick turns to play, get burned
I telecommentate the game like Chick Hearn
This is the moment of truth for my opponent's ?alliance?
Vocals alone evoke the emotion of black choirs
Fire, you don't wanna get burned like Richard Pryor
Move back, who's that there, the livewire
You will feel me
You will admire
My struggle
My hustle
My soul
Desire

(Hook 2)

(Bridge)
Thats my desire
Keep pushin'
Keep strivin'

My passion
My fire

{(Bridge), (Hook)} x3

Pushin', pushin', pushin', pushin'

I live my life
One day at a time
Hold my head
So I don't lose my mind
Sometimes you might fall down
But you get back up
Get on your journey
Yeah, keep on pushin'
Pushin', pushin', pushin'

I walked downstairs
And my body's light
Done pushed my struggles
Endured my pride
I fear no man
I know wrong from right
We push until the day we see the light
And we keep on pushin'
Pushin', pushin', pushin'


Your weak-ass compubot power shots mix fly over me
My accurate jabs connect like rotary
Make you notice me, be like:
"Damn, dudes on some totally when he rides the bass line like Ginobili"
I'm vocally unmatched, nobly
With the flow, slow on the ground
But mo' public than notary
Push, in this era of G.W. Bush
We must load mental ammunition and bust
Thus, I'm a hold you down, I got you
One more repetition I'm a spot you
This is for my blue collar workin', beer guzzlin'
Bootleg, DVD sellin', keep hustling
Push, if you represent the struggle then push
Peep the pieces of the puzzle and push
Never let 'em place a muzzle just push

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on
(Push, push, push, push)

[Intro]
In a time when we're spending billions of dollars in a war to control oil in Iraq
3,000 soldiers have come home in coffins
Hundreds of thousands of Iraq civilians have lost their lives
Our brothers and sisters in New Orleans are left homeless and hungry
They murdered Sean Bell
They murdered Amadou Diallo
They murdered Timothy Stansbury
And it's time to say NO MORE!
NO MORE!, NO MORE!, NO MORE!, NO MORE!

[Verse 1]
I got so much trouble on my mind, refuse to lose
Here's your ticket (uh), hear the drummer get wicked
The crew to you to push the back to Black
Attack so I sat and japped, then slapped the Mac
Now I'm ready to mike it (huh)
Hear my favoritism roll "Oh"
Never be a brother like to go solo
Lazer, Anastasia, maze ya
Ways to blaze your brain and train ya
The way I'm livin, forgiven, what I'm givin up
X on the flex (hear me now)
I don't know about later
As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid
Man I've had it up to here
Gear I wear got 'em goin in fear
Rhetoric said, it read just a bit ago
Not quittin, it signed the hard rhymer
Work to keep from gettin jerked
Changin some ways, to way back in the better days
Raw metaphysically bold, never follow the code
Still dropped a load
Never question what I am, God knows
Cause it's comin from the heart
What I got better get some (um hum)
Hustler of culture
Snakebitten, been spit in the face
But the rhymes keep fittin
Respects been givin, how's ya livin?
Now I can't protect a pad off the defect
Check the record of reckon
An intentional wreck
Played off as some intellect
Made the call, took the fall, broke the laws
Not my fault that they're fallin off
Known as fair square, throughout my years
So I growl at the livin foul

Black to the bone my home is your home
So welcome to the Terrordome

[Break]
Come on down (get down)
You can get it, get it, get it, get it
Come on down ...
You can get it, get it, get it, get it

Get down
You can get it, get it, get it, get it

[Verse 2]
There's a hole in an apple, an apple has been rotten
Scheme like a clan, I plan like Bin Laden
Supreme, screen writer, slit, script editor
Drop the LP, many hit like Nesbula
7 years later, it's the year of the Gods
United States government is just the facade
The Catholic church got ties with the Mob
I see it all like "The Wizard of Oz"
Now there's a yellowbrick road, the fame which is yours
If you only had a brain, you would know who you are
Poison your ventilation, cut your education
Secret information, world domination
Take over reservations
Trigger the energies in the oceans for tsunmais to control the population
Eyes of the sky, hit an observation
If your over 65 we'll take over your medication
Like give me that (give me that), form a line (form a line)
Go to war (go to war), press rewind
Cause when I get mad, I put it down on the pad
Give you somethin that you never had
Controllin, fear of high rollin
God bless your soul and keep livin
Black to the bone, my home is your home
Well welcome to the Terrordome

[Break]
Come on down (get down)
Get it, get it, get it, get it ...
Come on down
Get it, get it, get it, get it ...

Get it, get it, get it, get it ...

As we move forward towards the new millennium
We will no longer communicate with vocal inflections
It will be necessary to communicate through telekinesis
We will open your mind and concentrate harder
Focus, focus, focus, focus
Hey brother, what it is

[Verse 1:]
Raps like Star Wars
Only the stars die, it's no sequels
B-3 cases, C3P0's
Before Morpheus and Neo was killing 'em
We was duckin' roulettes in the hood like Remo Williams
Understand an underground bomb-cipritate
Get serious or die laughing like John Ritter
Young Eastwood, just tryin' to eat good
Breathe easy, relax
Mac like Fleetwood
Keep snoring
Keep sleeping, I'll keep touring
Come back, lay in the cut like Neosporin
Came out of the fallopian blastin'
Pharoahe hungrier than Ethiopians fastin'
Flies all in my teeth, stomach stickin' out
Niggas want dibs on the weed but ain't kickin' out
See this is not American Idol
This is me tryin' to eat, human survival
Spit at your favorite rapper, take his title
Stick needles in his eyeballs 'til his signs are no longer vital
This ain't that
I'm not them
These ain't those rhymes, I'm not him
This is more like cocaine all night
Shine like the new five halogen fog-lights
No
More like sunshine
One line in your mind to remind you of when you were nine
Before you were bustin' cherries it wasn't necessary to grind them
Now we all on our grizzly
And you got the nerve to press Frisbees
What it is

"What it is"

[Verse 2:]
If I'm not home on the range
Catch me at the range, practicing my aim
Gat you in your brain, shame
They thought I was backpacks
Slept, didn't know that he kept inside the knapsack
Today's niggas do skate-by-hits
Run in your crib on some Queer Eye for the Straight Guy shit
But not homosexuals they master in gunplay
Rearrange your furniture, fix your feng shui
They be swearin' it's cute
But a B up in the glovebox, cutter in the boot
With the sex appeal, and no ice either
To fight the bear arms, I'm not talkin' wifebeaters either
When they see me they say "That's that nigga"
My last name should be "That's that nigga"
Sounds kinda nice, "Pharoahe that's that..."
Never catch me with them plastic cat fast niggas
With the flow that's so influential
Niggas fucked up they get no instrumentals now
Next time you spittin' on mine
Bet your bottom dollar you be spittin' over rhymes
What it is

"What it is"

(feat. Denaun Porter)

[Chorus:]
First the gun draws and you know, that something's happening
Then darkness falls and oh, your heart beats rapidly
Be prepared because, war is coming
You can't be scared now, when the streets is calling you

[Verse 1:]
Good evening,
My name's Mr. Bullet
I respond to the index when you pull it, the trigger
So make a note, take a vote
Quick man, nickname's Quaker Oates 'cause
Whether domestic violence or coke deals
See how less has changed brain matter to oatmeal
And when I kill kids they say shame on me
Who the fuck told you to put they names on me?
White man made me venom to eliminate
Especially when I'm in the hood, I never discriminate
Just get in 'em, then I renovate
Flesh, bone, ain't nothing for me to penetrate
And it can happen so swiftly
One false move might just shift me
If I'm in-lodged and your soul's not claimed
I'll remind that ass when it's about to rain like

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Would the new method of murder be arson or firebombs?
If the cost of a single bullet was more than the firearm
Strange that is, when all exits are final
Point blank range that is
My attitude is cold and callous
Killed Kings in Tennessee
Presidents in Dallas
And if the past be known, at last we know
What happened that afternoon on the Grassy Knoll
It's what made a widow of Jackie O.
The government hired Lee Harvey to blast me though
Fatality shot entered from the right temple
Was not fired from a six-story window
Can it be that it was all so simple,
But yet remains so painful to rekindle
I come through your city I'm hot
Whether you're jiggy or not
Whether your Biggie or 'Pac
"When the Gun Draws"

[Chorus]

(One) One for the money
(Two) Two for the show
(Three) Three to get it crackin' in the hood (Let's Go!)

My rrrrhymes pop like them 9's they claim they tote
But they rrrrap lack luster shine
My shit bust like Busta RRRRhymes sniffin' lines of coke
(Wooooo Haaaaa!!) That's all she wrote
I'm on a quest to qualify for these inquisitive quotes
Quirk ass MCs be as Queer as Folk
Talkin' about, "Nigga can rap!" - No shit sherlock
Y'all MCs can't see me like Matt Murdock
I'm the pinnacle rhyme kid
Any line of mine is criminal minded
I blind them with original rhyme shit
Fall in line with the set, cynical crime shit
Clinically approved for you to move your behind with, timeless
All world girls willin' to stride with Pharoahe, do you need to be reminded?
Now stick'em up a set
Get'em up a set
Put'em up a set
(Let's Go!)

(Pre-hook)
(Yeaaaaa, How we rock)
(Show them how we, Ro-o-oll)
(Ye-e-ea yea ey yea)(Let's GO!)

(Hook)
Line it up!
Light it up! Fire it up!
Wire me up, Let it blow
(One) One for the money
(Two) Two for the show
(Three) Three to get it cracking in the hood
(Let's Go!)

(Verse 2)
They research my stem cells, clone ten of me
Send one of them back in time just to get rid of me
Stop Pharoahe Monch from having verbal epiphanies
Now thats new definition to your own worst enemy
Ock listen man
Stop snitchin' man
We use sex to cell
Then you to 'Nex-to-tel', then Sprint
Everything you represent is E-moral
'Singular'...not plural
You and your sidekick, get rid of that wack trio
I freeze MCs zero degrees below
The 'blacker the berry', the sweeter the juice
You need to get loose, to the heat i produce
From Long Beach to Boston
You chick 'Tex-us' like Dallas and Austin
I spark tireless illumination
Fire 16-bars of wireless communication
(Let's Go!)

(Pre-hook)


(Hook)


(Prehook)x2

(Verse 3)
(Scratches and mixes of Pharoahe Monch lyrics)
(Pharoahe's flows blows shows)
(The M-O-N-C-H)
(M-O-N-C-H)
(Y'all know the name)
(Let's Go!)
(Hallelujah! Pharoahe Monch will do ya)
(The M-O-N-C-H)
(Y'all know the name)
(Let's Go!)

(Hook)

Oh!
Oh!

I've got just what you want.
You've got just what I need.
You want my body baby, so let me plant the seed.

You are my heart's delight.
You set my soul a fire.
I wanna. Doin' you. You make me hot.

If I know who that nigga and the other thinking it's wishful
Sick wit it with a ridiculous flow
Take over, make over, move over.
Jokes over, flows over, who Told ya?

It's a down, except I flipped the script.
From the window to the wall just get low.
Rock and roll, hip-hop music, and disco
T dot O to Atlanta to Frisco

Rufis, oh yeah, with a new twist oh
So y'all can get a gist of the rhyme that I do not miss. I will not fail.
Please take a glimpse at the time at your own risk. I will not bail.

Fuck da boys, grab the flock. The planet rock.
The fiends and the fan on the block.
Team's scheme on the knock.
My hand, you want, dreams of your man.

Oh!
Oh!

I've got just what you want. (What I want)
You've got just what I need. (What I need)
You want my body baby (Body baby) So let me plant the seed. (Plant the seed)

You are my heart's desire. (Heart's Desire)
You set my soul on fire. (Soul on fire)
I wanna. Doin' you. You make me hot.

Grab the master's plans with ease.
Those seeds can't see past me.

No patch in the plan, the raps are not flash .
Free at last- We never recycle the same songs from last week.

Thank God almighty , we are free at last.
We went back to ash, before raps harassed me.
No relax. Do not pass. Do not ask me.
But you can get backstage where you can see ass free.

Elope- The Goat.
Nigga vote for ya boy.
I hope ya lied to the rope and the board.
Smokin the dope.
Relate to the gate.
To the words you wrote, with the moving the scales ya say:

I've got just what you want. (What I want)
You've got just what I need. (What I need)
You want my body baby (Body baby) So let me plant the seed. (Plant the seed)

You are my heart's delight. (Heart's Desire)
You set my soul on fire. (Soul on fire)
I wanna. Doin' you. You make me hot.

I've got just what you want. (What I want)
You've got just what I need. (What I need)
You want my body baby (Body baby) So let me plant the seed. (Plant the seed)

You are my heart's delight. (Heart's Desire)
You set my soul on fire. (Soul on fire)
I wanna. Doin' you. You make me hot.

How's everybody feeling out there?
You want my body baby?
I'll give you my body baby.
You want it.
I'll give it to ya.
(mumbling)
You want my body baby?

Thank you very much. Goodnight.

(dialog between erykah and lil girl)
-you're beautiful you know that?
-uh huh
-do you know that?
-yes
-you do?
-um hmm

-uh huh
-don't you ever worry about that because you're very beautiful. do you know you're beautiful?
-um hmm
-are you ready?
-ma i love you.
-i love you

1st verse (pharoahe monch)

he pushed her down and called her black and ugly
she asked why must you tease me,
he laughed at her said your from africa
your hair is peasey
your skin is dark and greasy
and plus you are so beneath me
please trust me it wasnt easy
for diamond it scarred her deeply
plays like a ??offender bass??
to my self thought how much does gender play
rememberin' such hatred at this tender age
if i could send a mental page
my thoughts would end the rage
reminiscin' of the looks to her in class
i gave my eyes would say

hook (erykah)

hold on, im sure
theres so much more, to live for
if you hold on, things'll change
c'mon be strong
and hold on, im sure
theres so much more, to live for
as you grow strong things'll change
no pain, no gain

2nd verse

please be willing to fight for your will to spite
writings from Will-i-am lynch
mill-i-ons tried to rise like helium
but died in the fields and the trenches
cries from the killing is senseless
eyes to the ceiling it quinches
a thirst in the feeling thats endless
the prize like a rain that rinses
the soul and cleanses ya mind
from white picketed fences
heads up ya ass, splinters and face
meant to they ride and ?bench us?
the masters pastored disaster
them fascious bastards they crafted
this hazardous plan and still has us broken ??advanted??
we shoulder the struggle
with the wieght of a boulder that muffles
the sound of provocative ????? the pieces of puzzles
incompleted,
only deleted to be push to the back of ya mind
like a hairline that has receded
now we repeated,
the process but never weeded the problem out
heeded the warnings but never proceeded to solve it
no forward progress, its obvious the soul is gone,
i meditate and pray that these words will somehow allow you to...

3rd verse

see now diamond is priceless,
timeless how she maneuvers like Heimlich
in this new world it reminds me of isis
she knows now that her complexion is a holy device
a protection from UV rays
in this negative time of crisis
like a knife that butter slices
easily to anger she reacts pious
like a cell protectin itself from a virus
twice as strong as her demeanor
now she is Raekus
God is what you see now
when you peer inside her iris

erykah

diamond your so beautiful you can change this world if you want to girl oh ooooo cmon grow strong

[Verse 1:]
Liquor-way your fears
Don't run and hide
Just open up
Let me come inside
Earth is what heaven is
Once we get into it
It's no need to speak
Just want to do it
You feelin' depressed
Give it to me
Your stress
Give it to me
Uhh
Give it to me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Very provocative, plus a little deeper
You mind if I get a little deeper
Got something to share with you
I got wisdom to teach you
Sexiest spot, something to reach you
In the clothes you were born in
Late in to night, again in the morning
Say, schboo, your face, your taste, your skin, space, I'm in

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
Seventies black zodiac poster positions
Venus and Mars is the god kiss the star system
Recepshirage dick is hard with the bard's rhythm
Stay up the paws, lick at guitars with the god's wisdom
It's starting to rain (yes)
Such a beautiful pain (give it to me)
Undisputable claims (give it to me)
For a suitable

[Chorus]

I now pronounce you husband and wife
You may kiss the bride

Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my life
Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my life

God, why is my wife bleedin??
Sheet covers her face, paramedics are leavin?
Her eyes are closed, it's apparent she's not breathin?
I'm a little confused about what it is I'm seein?

Plus, there's a naked man on my lawn
Police in the livin? room with all of they guns drawn
Out and the last thing I remember is
Uh, last thing I remember is

I received a text page from Julio
Who expressed that I left my cell phone in the studio
Right underneath the disc with the Pro Tools
Next to a six pack of O'Douls and some soul food

Yeah, and I was on my way home
Exit the expressway to use the payphone
But fuck it, 'cause my wife isn't back from her trip
I sneak [Incomprehensible] into the house
And she'll never expect it, except that

Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my life
Cops comin', shots fired, babies cry, I cry
Wishin' I could change but this is just my life

He put the gun in my hand
Told me go take my revenge
Killin? him won't make it go away
It's only gon? bring more pain

I tied his hands behind his back to the night stand, fast
Ropes made bruises on his light skinned ass
See, I can play games too
Yeah, that's what I told him when he came to

Now look, see what the game and the fame do?
Made a deranged mind out of someone in your same crew
Fuck man, we grew up together
Run DMC, tougher than leather

With the same outfits, forty deuce
Takin' flicks like what, shit
Why did you fuck my wife, man?
You should?ve took my life, man

I switched the gun into my right hand
The sweat accumulated on his forehead, I saw red, he said
Now was it worth it, man?
Was it everythin? you imagined? Was it perfect?

He put the gun in my hand
Told me go take my revenge
Killin? him won't make it go away
It's only gon' bring more pain

He put the gun in my hand and told
Told me to go take my revenge
Killin? him won't make it go away, no
It's only gon' bring more pain

Took you to be my lawfully wedded wife
To have, to hold, to love and cherish but
Death did us apart, what a coincidence
Now, perhaps the police will be convinced

That it was an accident
If I'm accurate and careful with the evidence
This motherfucker trespassin? up my residence
And to believe those vile set a precedence
From the start I should have been obvious, I never did

Prevalent, the wicked debauchery and decadence
Was carried out with such masterful excellence
And this is the stick where you rip my heart
It was natural to transform murder into art

And the weight of my conscience would knowingly carry
365 days to the date that we was married
Thoughts of how would achieve the murder would vary
We're closer than ever, together we'll be buried 'cause

Evil eyes that bide, how they go
You [Incomprehensible] lied to me, what did they see?
I just lost control, had to let you go
I cry but slowly you try, so slowly you die

Buried alive in the grave, too exhausted to climb out
Before dirt was tossed on me, come to find out
Old friend of mine she sleepin? with committed the crime
In the past three years, switched identities six times

And all the while I'm devoted to love and loyalty
They plotted on my publishin? checks and royalties
She's thinkin? it?s true love, he's scammin? her for the quop
[Incomprehensible] to devise my own intuitive plot

Put the pros on him, launched the probe on him
Now harm him, pen him, get him exactly where I wanted him
Cornered him, now his mission is aborted
You are about to be professionally extorted

Guess who you're 'bout to murder tonight?
Miss pretty brown eyes while she sleeps under the moonlight
Do it and bounce, the keys to the crib, you'll find under the mat
In the front of the house, just do it, word out

Evil eyes that bide, how they go
You [Incomprehensible] lied to me, what did they see?
I just lost control, had to let you go
I cry but slowly you try, so slowly you die
