Introducing the self-proclaimed
Most underrated, self-contained Next big thing to hit your local record store shelves and change Me and mine came through to help the game With or without the wealth and fame Not a selfish aim Even tightened up my belt and came A little close to the edge And still ain't dealt with thangs That's why, if felt like it was time I had a feeling y'all felt the same So double-check the way you spelt the name Capital M-O-V-E dot little M-E-A-N-T Not what you expected But what you been missing, just listen Motherfuckers can't front on this man We're everyground, Just Beats provide heavy sounds Open the floodgates, break the levy down Type agenda, with the number one mic contender Yours truly, Champ, the world-class writer Accompanied by the one and only DJ Spider My man, best believe there's big things in the plans And I ain't talking 'bout starting a record label or clothing line I'm talking 'bout making sure that y'all know the time Wrote a rhyme for that, Went against the format Brought it back to raw rap and haters never saw that Coming, fuck it now we off and running And ain't no half-stepping man, it's all or nothing So big up to Buff, Self-Sounds, and Crush One 360, Trek Life, can't forget my man Son And there's more where that came from Truly it's a movement Where you think we got the name from?

See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) Ayo, the sun still shinin’, earth still spinnin’ Poor still grindin’, rich still winnin’ Imagine that, another day, another merger One step further towards takin’ this rat race But, while we make false starts and don’t finish it, They built more Walmarts and small business get swept aside Like dirt off the floor, headquarters offshore Young kids off to war, that’s if you’re poor Big biz like Juice Crew, honest work doesn’t pay like it used to Man, so we do what we can, shop for bargains They outsource and expand profit margins And mark down what they already marked up And leave town when the heat gets sparked up So good jobs make the exodus to poor countries where they make even less than us Nigga, if you was the richest cat, bona fide aristocrat, kicked it with diplomats, You smile and tip your hat, lyin’ an’ tit for tat, if you could buy this and that, You wouldn’t switch it back, now would you? See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) Ayo, the rope still swingin’, the door still shuttin’, The bell still ringin’, kids still cuttin’, go figure. Everyday the gap grows bigger and you wonder why they pullin’ those triggers man. What you expect? It must be a hell of a lot, Some kids surrounded by drugs, whether they sell ‘em or not But they ain’t got brand-new laptop computers and they ain’t got the money for a tutor So they learn geometry by studying angles on every corner, An’ chemistry class is makin’ that pot warmer, So if pop warner doesn’t lead to a scholly, They prolly ain’t goin’ to college (no) And now the system really only about preppin’ for tests And they invest more in the schools reppin’ the best Of course poor schools get less with time And they callin’ that No Child Left Behind But see, schools are still really segregated And poor people still miseducated So if one half of black kids live below the poverty line, Fact is they probably lyin’. But they ain’t losin’ no sleep, no toss and turnin’ And keep raisin’ that cost of learnin’ I guess it’s still crosses burnin’, Watch how they fan them flames, understand them thangs It’s why: See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) Ayo, the bombs still droppin’, Snoop still crippin’ Guns still poppin’, scales still tippin’ You don’t say? See these kids don’t play, but they all justified in they own way Cause if jobs don’t pay and schools don’t teach Ain’t a whole lot within reach You either catch a case, catch wreck, catch alley-oops Catch a ride to the spot where they rally troops Or you go an’ get your own recruits, if you catch my drift Givin’ them fiends that extra lift So hustlers cook rocks, accountants cook books, I figure the bigger the crime, the bigger the crook. Look, this song ain’t about crack per se, It used to be about moonshine back in the day Now kids smoke M E T H O D, man So really it’s an OG plan See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back Wages fell flat, now if you felt that Say when (when, when, when) Say when (when, when, when) |

Definitely a miracle...honey you and me...
M-M-M-Make a miracle! From the midwest to the west coast and dream The outcast that came out so fresh and so clean And I must confess I don't know everything But I know what I know, you know what I mean It's like the stars aligned, every thousand bars, a rhyme But the right words is hard to find So I finish lines 'till the finish line's in sight Just imagine if I actually had the time to write Maybe then I'd finally get to where I figured I'd be Not religious, but I sense something bigger than me Only problem is it's hard to understand it like broken English So I paint my own canvas with this spoken genius Something told me my destiny manifests The best of me stands the test of time So I took a leap of faith, something like a steeple chasing Climbed back in the saddle, trying to keep the pace They say it's... (Chorus) Definitely a miracle... They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth If it changed then it's Definitely a miracle... I say it is what it is If nothing, it go, go, go Definitely a miracle... What you see if what you get, I am what I am And I feel like it's Definitely a miracle... What's it gonna take? You and me... I know it sounds crazy Crazy to think it could change, but just maybe Maybe you'll blink and the strange, right before your own eyes Like water to wine, the ignorant grown wise, the rise and fall If I could break bread with five thousand heads Take every man's shoes, walk a mile and tread It's like sight for the blind, a voice for the dumb A symphony for the deaf, embrace for the numb Feel it, what if rappers stopped acting hard When in fact they're scarred, would it really take an act of God Is he even listening? What if y'all stopped believing? Christian, Muslim, Jew What if people start casting votes? Stop casting stones Dead beef, get to acting grown And their kids stopped killing for a fistful of Lincolns? Probably just wishful thinking But I feel like it's... (Chorus) I don't know where to start, I guess it's like my closing remarks Sort of like the way a firefly glows in the dark Sort of like Elizabeth Jennings before Rosa Parks Like, humble beginnings before the flow sparks Now the fires lit, it's so hard to explain why I spit It's like who gon' fix things if I quit? Tell me that, who gon' cross the line Provoke thoughts in the minds I touched And I ain't much for freestyle, I'd much rather freehand Or free minds, see the free world in my free time Man, ain't nothing free, getting at heads like parting the Red Sea If we're ever debt free then it's... (Chorus) M-M-M-Make a miracle (x4) |

If I only knew then what I know now
shit would be so wild mind of a man, soul of a child no clouds could rain on me no cuts or scrapes could leave blood stains on me just imagine how to side step the critics, understand my own limits embrace the fire when I'm thrown in it move with supreme confidence, through every team in the conference reconcile dreams of common sense, dominant no fears or insecurities, appreciate the impurities build on that, never second guess it, never neglect the lesson on every endeavor I bless the session, man y'all dont know the half of it, trying to make my renditions accurate hoping I can capture it for y'all, but now it's like today is my four walls yesterday... yesterday is gone... {*cuts from Nas 'One Mic'*} no time for lookin back... no time for lookin back... no time for lookin back... it's done yo, put my best foot forward, took two steps, toward the opposite back and forth with things, saw a lotta shit and I was under pressure, now I'm on top of it so now I'm taking all I can get my getaway hit the fork in the road and took the scenic route 'tween me and you, it brought the phoenix out of me so partner you can hate me or love me, cause I might have been wrong but my heart was pure, still, I cant say I dont have regrets made mistakes I that wont soon forget, expectations I haven't met and yet, I wouldn't trade this moment, pray for atonement take me for what I am, a romantic but I'm not hopeless writing my magnum opus, either you're high pysch, or lose focus if you let it, some of y'all will never get it, holding on to... yesterday... yesterday is gone... {*cuts from Nas 'One Mic'*} no time for lookin back... no time for lookin back... no time for lookin back... it's done I guess that you could say we got a history together so I can never forget her, not bitter matter of fact sometimes I still hit it seduced by the way that she call to come hither but I found out the first time I did her I'll never fall in love with her, she gone break your heart make a mark, leave, and never come back and its hard to say goodbye to her, nobody knows her like I knew her see she one of a kind, just a free spirit, embodied by these lyrics to some, she's not pretty, to me she's beautiful cause she made me what I am and taught me to be strong so even when she's gone, her memory lives on and over time eventually we lost contact, despite that I gotta admit, I'm still attached, but I can't take her back cause who I'm talking about is... yesterday... yesterday is gone... {*cuts from Nas 'One Mic'*} no time for lookin back... no time for lookin back... no time for lookin back... it's done |
