Tonia Tash

Standing with your boys on the corner
I see them look at me walking by
But they don't understand how I'm feeling
Cuz boy you are the apple of my eye
1 I never thought no never
That I'd find someone to love me like you do
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Baby there ain't no need for you to worry
Cuz you can turn your back on me
You know that I'll still be waitin'
Right under the sycamore tree
2 - You're all I see, you're all I see
I won't let nobody ever come between you and me
See, you're all I see
Every time they step to me
I don't pay them any mind
It's all about you and me
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
As clear as the sea
Blow around tropical breeze
I see only we seven seas seven stars
Cooling at the park down in Nassau
Just think, you and me, love
Say it's all, move your lips slow
come close to my ear
It's here my dear where your fears come clear
There's little time left to escape and make best
All I see is three to complete
Making sweet sugar, honey, all I see
All we need, the true life is when we can just be
I never thought in a million years
That you would make every one of my dreams come true
Repeat 1 until fade


t 1 until fade

Listen honey can't you see
That I'm the one that's gonna show you love
And make you feel so much pleasure
Don't waste the feeling
Just go with the flow
When your body's next to mine
You're giving up that sexy vibe
I wanna take you to another level baby
And when you get that special feeling
All you gotta do is call me up oh
I'll give you good and plenty of it
When you're feeling down and low
All you gotta do is let me know, yeah

Precious treasures

Had enough danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels (Angels)
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't
Just let me go cuz
1 Teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had made me cry
So I don't wanna learn to hold you touch you
Think that you're mine because it ain't
No world for an uptown girl
Whose teacher has told her goodbye
Goodbye, oh goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
It's telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
Repeat 1
So I don't wanna learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
No world for an uptown girl
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Oh maybe just one more try
One more try to ease my mind I feel so cold inside
One more try to ease my mind I feel so cold inside

The saddest day in sweet November

It's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime
Even told you what to say
It's about time
It's about time that you start looking my way
And I even gave you my last dime
Even told you what to say
Oh I never had the nerve to approach you baby
Cuz I didn't think that you would ever look at me that way
I known you for so long I seen all your lovers come and go
I know exactly how to please you
But I'm afraid that you'll say no
Repeat 1
You told me about the nights
That you spent with her down by the lake
I wanted to tell you stop
How much could my poor heart take
I started burning up inside, how I long so for you
Just to feel your sweet caresses
Is all I ever want to do
Repeat 1
I don't know why
I couldn't tell you that I care for you
And now I cry tears of joy
As I let you know that it's about time
That it's about time
Repeat 1

If you're willing to let me
Let me show you just how sweet it can be
You and me
We can be if your mind and heart's ready
Baby just let me be all you need
I'm made of things that's nice
Like chocolate sugar spice
The kind of quality that's rarely seen
Oh babe to put you in the zone
I'm the kind that you take home
To meet your family
Fulfill your every want and need
Slowly, gently, softly
Baby close your eyes, and open your mind
To what's in store for you
I'll take you on a magic carpet ride into my world
So you can see that I'm the one you need, oh
Repeat 1
I can't explain the way
You make me feel inside
I know you feel it, too
And when I'm all alone
You call me on the telephone
Boy I'm just hooked on you
Slowly, gently, softly
Baby just close your eyes, open your mind
To what's in store for you
I'll take you on a magic carpet ride into my world
So you can see that I'm the one you need
Repeat 1
I'll show you love
Like none you've ever experienced
It's now or never cuz you'll never find
Another love like mine
Yeah, ah, my girl Nik in the house
My girl Kia, and it's Tonia
And we Divine, for your mind
One time baby
Ah ah, Ya don't stop, let the beat drop
Yo, check it

1 Love ain't like no fairy tale
It'll break your heart
Cuz it don't always have a happy ending
Love ain't like no fairy tale
It'll break your heart
Cuz it don't always have a happy ending
Mama said you better watch yourself
When you flying high on the wings of love
Keep your balance or you just might fall
And if you fall you gotta be strong
Cuz love ain't like no fairy tale
Repeat 1
Every time I see you 'round the way
I start thinking about yesterday
A picture perfect world is what I saw
A picket fence, a house, a fancy car
No, no, no, no, no, no
I just knew that you were heaven sent
You would make all of my wishes come true
You'd be my knight in shining armor some day
I was your princess soon to be queen
Love ain't like no fairy tale
Repeat 1
I just knew that you were heaven sent
You would make all of my wishes come true
You'd be my knight in shining armor some day

Ooh baby tell me why
You could look me in the eye
Swear on us that you're not seeing someone else
The way you hold me strange
Know your lips don't feel the same
You got an attitude I know there's someone new
Baby don't lie
You know I get all sensitive and hurt inside
Darling tell me now
If you want my loving
Got to show me what you're all about
1 Tell me now what you want
Is it me or someone new
Tell me now what you gonna do
I can't take no more, cuz I'm bout through
Tell me now what you want
Is it me or someone new
Tell me now what you gonna do
I can't take no more, cuz I'm 'bout through
You cannot hide the feeling you feel inside
Cuz you were the one who let me know that true love is genuine
Why are you using me can't give up abusing me
If you don't want me don't pretend we're meant to be
Baby, don't lie
You know I get all sensitive and hurt inside
Darling, tell me now
If you want my loving
Got to show me what you're all about
Repeat 1
Hand that tell me you're unsure
Lips that I can't kiss no more
Eyes that cut me up inside
Can't take no more can't take no more
Tell me why I ache inside
Visions of you in my mind
Kissing, hugging, hurt so tight
Can't take no more, can't take no more
Repeat 1 until fade

I tried to get you out of my head
But the more I tried
You're back in my mind again
I must admit that I only got regrets
Since you walked out on me
Took my life, love and happiness

I'll always be thinking of you wondering
If you ever think of me too
How I hope and pray that someday
I'll hold you in my arms again

Chorus
I wish that I had you in my arms again baby
I'll hold you so tightly boy I can't pretend
That I don't love you, don't need you
The pain never ends
Who's gonna love me like you do

When nights are cold I can't help but shed a tear
When I recall all the special memories we shared
You'll hold my hand, make me feel so safe and warm
I tried to move on, but you still have my heart and my soul

I'll always be thinking of you wondering
If you ever think of me too
How I hope and pray that someday
I'll hold you in my arms again

I wish that I had you in my arms again baby
I'll hold you so tightly boy I can't pretend
That I don't love you, don't need you
The pain never ends
Who's gonna love me like you do

There will never be another you
You have changed my very existence as it were
Don't you know I love you more
I love you more, love you more
Than you'll never know

I wish that I had you in my arms again baby
I'll hold you so tightly boy I can't pretend
That I don't love you, don't need you
The pain never ends
Who's gonna love me like you do

I wish that I had you in my arms again baby
I'll hold you so tightly boy I can't pretend
That I don't love you, don't need you
The pain never ends
Who's gonna love me like you do

Ever waiting, ever standing by

1 Teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had made me cry
So I don't wanna learn to hold you touch you
Think that you're mine because it ain't
No world for an uptown girl
Whose teacher has told her goodbye
Goodbye, oh goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
It's telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
Repeat 1
So I don't wanna learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
No world for an uptown girl
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Oh maybe just one more try
One more try to ease my mind I feel so cold inside
One more try to ease my mind I feel so cold inside

(Tash)
Uh, expensive things, diamond rings and things
You know, rap life, rap life, say what, ah, uh

Rap niggaz, we dippin individuals
Some of us be frontin, some of us is really criminals
Swimmin in the women and money we never had, it's sad
Rap could turn a good nigga bad
But not CaTash though I gaffle respect with no hassle
I'm still the same nigga, light skinded, curly afro
Whats up though, I'm still the same nigga, a superfreak
I blow a G a week, catch me burnin rubber up the street
Rap niggaz, always smokin indo
So everytime we puff, it's twenty dollars out the window
But what is friends fo', we gonna blow that dough regardless
My niggaz live the life and they ain't even rap artists
Rap money, we get that shit and blow it
We trick thirty G's and ain't got shit to show for it
Let me get that case of Moet, let me get that CLK
Let me get that ounce of bomb from my man from East L.A.
Let me get that

Chorus: Raekwon the Chef

Rap niggaz get money, press up and get hundreds
Be like all them niggaz on it
Which side rock the most, it don't matter cause it get notes
Meet you on the left side of the boat
Coast, drivin it most, we like where them niggaz go
We like everywhere, party where the fans go
It's all rap hype, young black niggaz that's mad hype
Got ya station in a smash right

(Tash)
My Likwit niggaz made a killin
We dropped three albums and got the whole world dancin on the ceilin
So I'm feelin like the villian that cracked that safe's combo
My nigga had some hoes, I told him shoot em through my condo
He shot em through, they peeped my CD through
They startin askin questions, but fuck the interview
What y'all really wanna do? They said, "Pop the Crist'"
I said you like rap? Well wrap ya mouth around this!
Rap niggas, young niggaz ballin
We on the motorcyles doin ninety down my hall and
with the gold chain swingin fallin to the street
This rap life got us buyin shit we don't need
We don't need the jet skis but let's buy em, just to try em
We splashin out the Lex and got all the ladies eyein
us now, and we don't fuck around with no wife
Cause all my niggaz is livin the rap life

Chorus

(Raekwon the Chef)
First of all before we move on
Shit is like a Yukon son, slide shit on like Grey Poupon
Mergin in the suburbs, gettin raw with greenery herb
Real ill niggaz smack birds
Fat words showin proof how my gat work, go shoot, kill
Smack a blackbird, jettin in an Ac-hurse
Big Jim stay grinnin in a six spinnin it kid
Nigga who flex, lex threw ten in him
Stand posin blowin shit, coast from east and west
We rockin our vest, cannon might roast you
High powered hydrolic Eddie Bauer Rockwilder
Who wilder, slang bit niggas on the collar
Amp might blow, I might land, set up shop and glow
Shinin like a lamp post, my camp post
Cream leather green leaves forever
Goin to do whatever, corns and crab niggaz, they roll together
What up Tash, black hash, we invented the spaz
High like sixteen niggaz over ten bags
Real niggas gon ride, fake niggaz gon slidide
Check the next issue faggot in the vidibe

(Tash)
Rap drama, the drama never calms
I be on the celly phone trippin off my baby moms
Tryna make her understand I get paid to rhyme
I don't show up at your job, so don't show up at mine!
Cause there's no biz like shobiz if y'all niggaz ask me
Show money, that's like pimpin, cause we get it tax free
Catch a check for 33, cut straight from SRC
Take it straight to any counter, cash my shit with no I.D.
Rap women, they always be around us
Cause we from out of town and they be lovin out of towners
Wash up in motherfuckas like a T.V. evangelist
Cause they from where they from and we straight from Los Angeles
Rap money

(Rae)

Sing that shit for daddy baby
Pump this motherfucker up, ricochet, ricochet
Ricochet
(Ricochet, ricochet)
Ricochet
(Yo homies, one two yo)

My style is too cold for words, it's like a bullet gone stray
Ease off, I'm 'bout to speak and hit the wall and ricochet
I rock the Cali way for sure, I'm only in it to score
Niggaz say I'm owed one, but it's more like four

Hardcore entrepreneur, strainin' like a champ
Rollin' out in sixty-three's, that hop without a ramp
Young Tash Vamp'll kick your door in while you're snorin'
Now where's that salt you was pourin'?

I send the bullet soarin', yo ayy, let you slide? No way
If you a why do niggaz shoot? Alright, okay Mos Def
I gotta buck you down for that sh*t you was poppin'
Now look how rotten the whole situation's gotten

Tash showed you love you shoulda showed me some back
If they catch me they gon' stretch me like Geronimo Pratt
'Cause I gotta lay you flat no matter what you say
Homey thought he got away 'til he caught the ricochet

Ricochet
Called the cops, said they heard mad shots
Take that motherfuckers
Ricochet, ricochet, ricochet

Ricochet
Called the cops, said they heard mad shots
Take that motherfuckers
Neighbors called the cops, said they heard mad shots
Take that motherfuckers

I tried to warn you killer, my rap style'll have you sprung
Like a girl gave you head with a earring in her tongue
Since Tash come from less than zero, my splurgin's urgent
My mouth so foul, you couldn't wash it with detergent

My Likwit niggaz swervin', mergin', like a rally
Rearrangin' niggaz grills like the '99 Denali
Where the fuck we at Cali? You motherfuckin' right
I wanna see some action, burn somethin' or fight

'Cause see it's Tash night tonight, it's Tash night tomorrow
I'm lookin' for the hoes that got some sex I could borrow
I'll gladly pay you back next Wednesday the 3rd
Why you laughin' at me baby? That's my motherfuckin' word

Word word word, then it's words for nerds
Tryin' to rap as fly as Tash is totally absurd
So everybody duck or catch the A.K. spray
Homey thought he got away 'til he caught the ricochet

Ricochet
Called the cops, said they heard mad shots
Take that motherfuckers
Ricochet, ricochet

Ricochet
Called the cops, said they heard mad shots
Take that motherfuckers
Mad sha-sha-shots

Newsflash on the screen, what the fuck does this mean?
It say, "Tash is takin' over the world, behind the scenes
Just drinkin' beers spacin', Likwit sweeps the nation
But leave that man alone, 'cause you know his reputation"

Brutalize the wicked world, I pump one verse of curse
To beat you down, beat you up, then take your girl or vice versa
You rap too commercial, you just cheat to compete
I done paid a gang of dues, I even kept the receipts

So you owe me homey, these corny niggaz outsold me
So write that blank check to Tash, the one and only
The only man standin' when it's time for gun play
Homey thought he got away 'til he caught the ricochet

Ricochet
Called the cops, said they heard mad shots
Take that motherfuckers
(Ahh, it's too late to duck nigga)
Ricochet, ricochet
(Ricochet style, '99, CaTashTrophe, Bermuda Triangle yaknahmsayin'?)
Ricochet

Aiy, while I'm in this motherfucker
Let me give a extra drunken monkey shout out to my peoples
Yaknahmsayin' all my peoples from Cypress Hill
DMX, Big Pun, Terror Squad

(carl thomas)
Treats me the same
Treats you the same
Ohh, treats me the same
Treats you the same
Ohh, nobody
Ohh, nobody

(tash)
You know what? it's hella lonely at the top when you rich without a girl
It's me against the world, but that's how my world twirl
So let that shit spin cause i'ma play it to the end
Sometime you gotta make decisions: your woman or your friends?
My friends come first
My females is secondary
The last girl I had was this bad ass secretary
Her name was yvonne - that bitch thought she was the bomb
But I knew it wouldn't work, I never took her home to moms
You know havin a ball not givin my all
Holdin hands down the hall at the crenshaw mall
She used to look at me and saw no flaws at all
We was close - she walked around my house in her draws
But after all the good times you know comes the rain
I had to cut that bitch off for some shit I can't explain
I blamed it on her trip and she blamed it on my fame
I got cupid lookin stupid
But that's a part of the game

(carl thomas)
Ohh the game owes nothin to nobody
So I'm tellin you this from the start
If you find you've been decieved by another
Then you better just trust in your heart

(tash)


So all the ladies wave your hands if you down wit your man
I know them two kids you got wasn't part of the plan
What this world is a twist; if it ain't that it's this
I like the kinda girl that tatoo niggaz names on they wrist
Tash on your tit
That's the kinda girl I need
After work, feeds her seeds then smokes a little weed
Low key; that's how my girl gon' be
But I ain't found her yet and she ain't found me
So I'm lookin
For all the sexy hoes that ain't tooken
Carl put me down with this bad broad from brooklyn
But all I do is hit - no spark, no flame
I got cupid lookin stupid
But that's a part of the game

Chorus

(tash)
I know this love song I'm writin ain't flashin your excitement
But when you least expect it love will strike you like some lightning
That's why I'm here to warn ya
These girls in california, they'll take you to the cleaners
If you let 'em put it on ya (put what? )
You know the little wifey deluxe
That'll have your friends and family rentin a tux
That's why you gotta keep it p.i.
So even if your buck stop
You got the type of girl that'll walk you to the bus stop
True love-
That's kinda hard to find when you rhyme
I'm 27 now and it's 1999
But i'ma find mine; matter fact, what's yo name?
-trust in yo heart- but that's a part of the game

I get drunk and I stumble to the mic
Stay drunk all week, I'm at my peak like pike
I'm never at my peak, I'm killin' fifth after fifth
I drink mo' 40's than Tash and E-Swift

Uh, huh, I drink more than both of y'all
I hold more liquor than a bank on Crenshaw
And Tash you can't drink brew, you know you the nigga who
Be all on yo' nads after just a swig or two

Nigga you trippin', must be that Zima you was sippin'
Yo' accountant couldn't count how many bottles I be grippin'
And flip it in the trash 'cause I downed 'em with ease
While you on yo' knees
(About to pass somebody yo' keys)

I even had to pay the taxi the last time you asked me
You start off on yo' feet but always wind up on yo' back G
Bro you should know you can't drink with Rico
While you down yo' shit slow, I'm on my ninth Cuervo

Aiyyo at every single show, you be layin' on the flo'
Swearin' up and down, you neva' gonna drink no mo'
But I get to' up, from the flo' up, and never throw up
One little wine cooler and you wanna beat yo' hoe up

I never call it quits, I don't know my own limit
This Alkaholiks shit is for real, it ain't a gimmick
You might fuck around and catch a liver disease
Fuckin' with these Likwit MC's, hip hop drunkies

Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' drink on? Whatcha wanna do?
Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' fade on with the Likwit crew?

Curvoiseir, coke and rum
Alize and one five one
Heineken, Hennesey
Juice and gin, brass monkey

Yo, yo, I pledge allegiance to the bottle, the cup and the can
In front of the bar, that's where I stand
And to the alcohol for which I fall
And the cold porcelain in the bathroom stall

One drunk nation under God inebriated
With liberty and justice to anyone who's faded
Drink drink drunk until I can't hack it
Until the little man fall off the horse on my polo jacket

When I get drunk once again
I spent all my yen on ten bottles of gin
Likwit 'til I'm stiff, damn I love this riff
The Ro gotta go, I pass the mic to E-Swift

I drink a lot of beers, my life's a black version of 'Cheers'
Everyday sit at the bar and take shots with my peers
I've been doin' this for years, ain't no amateurs here
I've been drinkin' 40's longer than most niggaz careers

I've got the bitches grinnin' while the whole world is spinnin'
You suffer from double vision and I'm just beginnin'
You always pass out, wake up and don't remember me
You could write a book with all your hangover remedies

I thought you knew, I've been drinkin' since high school
While I down this Olde English, you sippin' your O'Douls
I'm makin' beer runs at ten minutes to two
While you still sippin' on your first motherfuckin' brew

Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' drink on? Whatcha wanna do?
Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' fade on with the Likwit crew?

Curvoiseir, coke and rum
Alize and one five one
Heineken, Hennesey
Juice and gin, brass monkey

A lot of niggaz can't drink, but hoes is even worse
They order three drinks but can't finish the first
I see 'em reachin' in they purse about to roll that sack of weed
Knowin' that's the combination that they really don't need

'Cause girls take a sip, get fucked up quick
Pass out, wake up
(What's this?)
It's a dick
Baby girl, you lookin' sick, you lookin' plastered like a poster
You was talkin' all that shit, now you need some Alka-Seltzer

You wobblin', weeblin', fuckin' up your evenin'
That smoke that you breathin' got that ass on spin
While yo' homegirls is like
(Where the fuck you been?)
In the girl's bathroom, fucked up since ten

Yeah, I seen her, she thought she was a graceful ballerina
Now that ass is too drunk to drive herself to the marina
So she comin' home with me because, I don't give a fuck
Might fuck an ugly bitch, but only when I'm drunk

Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' drink on? Whatcha wanna do?
Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' fade on with the Likwit crew?

Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' drink on? Whatcha wanna do?
Don't you think it's 'bout time
To get yo' fade on with the Likwit crew?

When I get drunk
When I get drunk

We doin' big thangs, knahmsayin'?
Ha ha, we fucked up now
You know what's goin down, Alkaholiks
Got my niggaz up in this motherfucker
My niggaz and you know it, I ain't solo, I ain't dolo

Yo, ya know we peepin' y'all
Ya know we peepin' y'all
Slow motion style
Pacific Ocean style
Wh-what?

I'm in a rowdy ass club there's hella-bitches all around me
This girl walks up, she says she's glad that she found me
I told her she was trippin' 'cause the girl ain't even know me
Then she told me she want to introduce me to her homies

I said, "Well, baby girl go get your kemo sabes
I'll get my liquid niggas, we'll meet you in the lobby"
She walked wit' a smile I ain't seened in a while
So we mobbed through the crowd Killer Cal style

Walkin' wit' a limp, 'cause see, we pimp to perfection
For us to catch a date don't take the love connection
Fuck Chuck Woolery you want a date for surely
All it take is fine jewelry

A wink and a drink and what the fuck you think?
I mack a baby doll down, she in a long black mink
We straight standin' in the lobby straight face to face
Then she said, "Cut the chase let's bounce to my place"

'Cause ladies we wait for nightfall
You thinkin' that we sleepin' but we peepin' all o' y'all
Even all o' y'all up against the wall but slow down
Baby doll you can't walk before you crawl

Ladies we wait for nightfall
You thinkin' that we sleepin' but we peepin' all o' y'all
Even all o' y'all up against the wall but slow down
Baby doll you can't walk before you crawl

Still close to gettin' toasted by the B A R
About to bounce wit' these bitches 'cause they don't live far
Niggas all up in my grill, lookin' hella-bizarre
I poured my drink on the ground for my dead homey Par

Grabbed my car keys my doctah function
Burnt a little rubber made my outroduction
Pumpkin' and her friends pushed the two-door Benz
I pushed the E420 so we looked like twins

Swervin' through the night everything is right
Swift rolled a blunt but he can't find a light
Just when we 'bout to blaze it up and get high
I peeped the one time out the corner of my eye

'Cause one time they wait for nightfall
We thinkin' that they sleepin' but they peepin' all o' y'all
Even all o' y'all up against the wall but slow down
Killer-cops you can't walk before you crawl

One time they wait for nightfall
We thinkin' that they sleepin' but they peepin' all o' y'all
Wanna throw a nigga up against the wall but slow down
Killer-cop you can't walk before you crawl

I rolled past the cops, I'm on my cell phone blown
Doin' 60 miles-a-hour in a 35 zone
Just when I thought it was about to be on
The girl pulled into the gate of a million dollar home

Fly landscape and Cavi' decorations
The living room was bigger than the Club United Nations
Place was to the point I kicked my shoes off the secko
30 percenters when I talked it made a echo

Echo, rolled up the fat perfecto
They wanna skinny dip but I ain't wanna get wet though
So let's go that's what she told Tash
She led me to her room, lookin' like Stacey Gash

Baby got it pumpin' can't help but to feel it
Then she told me that she married to a killer drug dealer
Should I, A) Stay
Or B) Bounce immediately

'Cause haters they wait for nightfall
We thinkin' that they sleepin' but they peepin' all o' y'all
Even all o' y'all up against the wall but slow down
Baby Pa' you can't walk before you crawl

Haters they wait for nightfall
We thinkin' that they sleepin' but they peepin' all o' y'all
Even all o' y'all up against the wall but slow down
Baby pa' you can't walk before you crawl

Can't do it, ya can't do it
Ya can't walk before ya crawl
That's right y'all slow motion style
Killer Cali on the mic

Catastrophe fuckin' it up all the way from the Bermuda Triangle
Hottest shit on the streets, 1998, '99, 2000
Raise, raise yo' glass, raise yo' glass to Tash
Raise yo' glass and make a toast to Tash

Now straight up, not tonight, not tonight
We got Tash on the mic, not tonight

[tash]
Smoke this blunt
Yo, everybody grab a seat, welcome to smoke fest '99
I'm glad you all could make it
As you can see admission was free this smoke fest this year
All the weed you see is free, but the blunts cost sixty bucks baby
(sixty bucks? ? !!)

Catashtraphe, I shoot it through, dipped in twenty-four karats
If y'all niggas don't feel me, then I blame it on your parents
'cause tash fuck it up, don't twist it up wit luck
My style is cold like I bought it off the icecream truck
Listen here, tash be crashin niggas wit my beer
Tash be partied down as fuck swingin off the chandelier
Tash be here, tash be there
Tash be everywhere it's poppin
I'm here to let you know fuckin wit me's not an option
'cause tash is my name, tash'll start it wit a bang
Tash'll end it wit a *gun shots* that's not the same thing
Tash'll split your frame, tash swings like gold chains
I be rollin wit king t, and we all in the same game
But enough about catash, let's talk about some skrill
You know it's bout to pop if likwit crew is on the bill
You can ask my nigga phil how real this is, the weed
Smoke fest '99 burn something to the beat

*tash in background*
Damn man, y'all came all the way from where, man?
"all the way from mobile, alabama."
Oh yeah, you came to smoke some blunt?
"yessir, we came to smoke some blunts wit you baby."

Smoke, smoke fest time

[big boi]
Yeah yeah yeah
I was lookin to get my skull blowed up like kid dynamtie
The time is right
Be ridin the track so fiercely that it seems I'm already high tonight
But I'm not though just on them black & mild's
And people thinkin I'm the wild one 'cause I be flippin
And rippin the track and verbally attackin on yo' style for fun
Higher soul but to please myself I gotta be composin that fly shit
And you notifying alkaholiks daily
So punk mufucker you better dub bitch
What do you need boy, rap and some my boys are still in the trap
I mean the dope spot, but the slangin got my snappin like the rope hot
I can be the player you wanna bust wit
Or nigga you don't even wanna go fuck wit
Or nup wit, you suck dick, so why you all up on my nuts quick
I hold the microphone and that's wit a vice grip
Really tightly, and I'm keepin the words crystal clear
So you gon' correct when you try to bite thee
Very nicely, aquemini my nigga, not a pisces
But I likely, gon' fetch a sack of that green stuff
While I write g, yeah yeah right

[dre]
Yeah, check this out yeah
Hard life, now picture this
A nigga in jail, rappin while his folk in the next cell
Tappin wit some spoons, we do rank the boom boom
Fresh off a planet wit sand dunes and maroon moons
Soakin wet wounds, titty tanglin tunes
Musty under arms, soul shlong charm
Bump off in the drums, rhythm on the one
Stankonious under smellin where I'm comin from son
The day you bone is when you start to die
The time in between us will mean the most, I toast my high
Shit gets so bad, I know it make you wanna cry
But suck it up, button up, go ahead and do your thing
For I'm already high

Smoke, smoke fest time

[phil the agony]
Yo yo yo
Whenever I'm writing, you can call me philly titan
Receiting to you an interview like phil donahue
Me and my crew, translate los angeles
Scandalous, like watergate
Phil on the break, phil on the break
Phil/fill in the blank, it feels bad like gettin shanked
File up your taxes, I'm writin exact on my axis
From my head down to my air max's
Phil waxes and relaxs
Phil also fills up mental food up in your ? deadly gases?
My name is jason when I fill out my application
To the nation, niggas is gonna get in filled what they facin
Phil/feel the ration, phil/feel the adrenaline
I penetrate like penicillin, niggas be like "phil is illin!"
Phil is willin and ready
Phil is raw like eddie
Phil be cuttin up like machetes and confetti
Deadly, phil/feel the pain when I walk through the rain
Niggas be like "he sayin phil again, phil again, phil again"

Smoke, smoke fest time

[tash]
Hey hey hey
Peace rap world, I'd like to make a special announcement right about now
We have a special guest that just stepped in the house
You know this man, he the smokiest cat in rap music
He goes by the name of the doctor greenthumb, smoke em out

[b-real]
Now I be, rollin and smokin
And holdin the golden sack
When my lungs be gettin swollen, hittin the bong foldin
For chronic ironic, growin the hydroponic
We got it, robotic hits you on melodic tricks of sonic
Smoke fest, expandin your chest
Buddah bless best, for you to step back 'cause your lyrics are like cess weed
Yes indeed, the session you need to retrieve it
It's ten niggas in a circle smokin a spliff, believe it
Retrieve it, over the counter, can you conceive it
I give you doctor greenthumb digits, don't repeat it
The brew crew and the buddah masters together
Gettin you higher and fuckin you up that much faster
Six sacks, blunt leafs, pipes and bong-bowls
All be gettin smoked at the buddah head shows
Excuse me if it seems too complicated
The herb I hold is platinum while yours is nickel plated
Let me mash out, I'm breakin the stash out, the hash out
I roll into the studio and smoke my nigga tash out
Wit that doctor greenthumb shit, know what I mean?

Smoke, smoke fest time

Uh-huh, ahh
I feel like it's time for a new nigga
And I feel like that nigga should be me
Hello boys and girls!
My name is catashtrophe
Peep my slide out

Check it out it goes slide, slide, slippedy slide
I'm here to give y'all niggaz a new dick to ride
Cause tash is like the flyest nigga standin on the planet
I pimped the beat so tough I had to slap it back-handed
A single-handed, thought that's how I planned it
I didn't leave my group it's just time we all expanded
Tash made an atom bomb, disguised it as my solo
Now all the d.c. niggaz bump my shit instead of go-go
Whattup loco? it's tash on the micro
Xzibit hold it down with the rifle, what?
Standin on the eiffel droppin pennies, cause tash ain't friendly
They tried to pay to shut me up, but they knot too skinny
And, gimme mines, that's my ninety-eight motto
Can't walk around the city lookin rahlo
So if y'all niggaz follow I lead, let's smoke this weed
Put away your guns punk so we can all get keyed

"who's the man" (sample echoes) "my man t-a-s-h" -> mos def (repeat 3x)
"with that west coast rhymin"
"my man t-a-s-h with styles glory great" -> mos def

So to the pimps players hustlers high rollers dead pres folders
Better hold on to your funds, while this alkie mic control it
Takin over, catashtrophe he rollin like a boulder
Like master p told ya, you a soldier; I'm posted


Like a vulture on a branch on a hunt for grands
My circumstance, I went from snow ball to avalanche
And now tash is the nigga that all the hoes chose
My style is hella flashy like busta rhymes clothes
I'm all-pro, the top selection for elections
Sneaking guns on the plane with no detection
With no recollection, of how the fuck I got this deal
But now I got the motherfucker so it's on for real!

"who's the man" (sample echoes) "my man t-a-s-h" -> mos def (repeat 3x)
"with that west coast rhymin"
"my man t-a-s-h with styles glory great" -> mos def

My style is odd, like a gift from god
That's why I hold more microphones than ahmad rashad
But it's time you know my name so tell the dj to loop it
Grab a pad and pen, write it down if you stupid!
I break it down for major weighter, catash'll fade ya
You just a waiter I'm a caped crusader
But I didn't come to save ya all I came to do is chill
Scoop y'all niggaz hoes and take some 40's to the grill
I pops a pill, but all it was was golden seals
No need to go to blueberry hill, to get y'all thrills
Just fly directly over the bermuda triangle
Where I'm runnin rappers over in a ninety-eight durango, like that

"who's the man" (sample echoes) "my man t-a-s-h" -> mos def (repeat 3x)
"with that west coast rhymin"
"my man t-a-s-h with styles glory great" -> mos def
