From day to day I know that I'm in all of your conversations
You never have anything good to say about me
That's ok cause everyone's entitled to their own opinions
Cause everyone's a critic, and even on your best days
Someone's got something bad to say-
Yet I ignore the things I hear, ignore the things I fear
And look past all that tries to bring me down
And I know that I don't have much I
Sacrifice a good life while I watch these bills keep adding
Up and I know that I'm not getting any younger as another
Year passes by
I have to stop and wonder
If it's all really worth the struggle
Or that mirage of light I keep chasing at the end of the tunnel
Will get any brighter
Or will it just fade away the closer I get , the harder it seems
From reaching my dreams
And I just don't know how much more I can
Take before I give up and throw it all away-

[Hook]
When push comes to shove
You gotta hold on , you gotta be strong
And look for that light from above
Cause everyone's out to bring you down
And if you can't keep your head up
Then your lost-
I've seen better days been told better ways
How to live and how to give, it's relative
I walk with sedatives it's hell I live
And home is sweet, I'm killing myself softly
My reflections show deep infections
It's hard to be, I look at myself, I look at this life
And all I feel is pain, god help me start again
I gotta keep on, I gotta keep on pushin' cause I
Some how some way keep comin' up short
Like everyday my minds playin' tricks on me
Everybody loves sunny days but I prefer
Grey ones and long nights because when the
Day comes, it's just another 24 and I'm still numb
Not so young I know what it takes, they say
Roll with the brakes and slip them ties with the fakes
I still get them shakes just thinkin' bout this
Ish right here two dub two maybe this gonna be
That year

[Bridge]
Everyone has to pay a price no matter what we sacrifice
I hope it's worth it nothing is for certain

Some call me a loser
Some call me a cheater
Some say I'm a selfish untalented dreamer
Cause all's I try to do is keep my dream alive
But it's so hard to do when your working 9 to 5
I've never been one afraid to die
But I'm afraid to leave behind
The precious life that grows through the sands of time
Cause for my son and daughter
I know they need their father
To help them make it through all
of the devious things that people do
Cause every moment counts from
the good times to the bad
I don't have time to envy those
that got things I've never had
Cause the one thing most important
is the one we take for granted
And until your life is on that line
I think it's the way god had
planned it
To open up your eyes and make you realize
That to some life is money
But what's money without life
Cause all's I need is the air that I breathe
And my friends and family to believe in me
As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when the odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters
As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when the odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters
We bleed the same blood
We cry the same tears
We have the same fears
We pass the same years
We see the same stars
Under the same skies
We pass the same time
We all live and die
Cause friends and family wash thicker than blood
And if ya never felt love than I feel for you
Cuz lives pass above us in 747's
Deceased dwell below us
Before they go to heaven
Deep like seven leagues life intrigues intelligence
Got no time for clutter, your late if there's hesitance
Put your foot forward and there will be a helping hand
Take a step back and your stuck in the quick sand
Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in, a mental jail trap
2002 where's your family at
Oh, and I might fail
Oh, I might succeed
Whatever the outcome is
Just keep your faith in me
Just believe in me
And I will be there
As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when the odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters
As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when the odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters
As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when the odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters

It doesn't even matter Nothing else matters

Can you remember
How you use to jab your fingers into my chest
And tell me how stupid you thought I was
And how I'd grow up to be worthless-
I was only 9 and I can recall every single time-
You raised your hand to me
No matter how hard I try to forget
I can't erase it from my memory

To this day you seem to think that
You never did anything wrong
And even though I've tried to look past your
Ignorance
The hate was too strong
And you were to blind to see how much anger
Was growing inside of me
And everything revolved around you
Do what you say
Do what you want
Do as you do
As the years passed
I never knew what was to come
Cause you were never there
But the day will come
When we'll cross paths
This time I'll be there to let you know that
All I ever wanted was was for you to believe in me
And everyday I prayed for, lived the day for
Was a chance to throw it back in your face-

[Hook]
And before you die, open your eyes
And see, all the different ways that you neglected me
You may have gave me life but you never gave me hope
I don't ever want to take after my own Father

God help me raise up outta this mess
Stress and grey days and a gang full of tests
God help me, god help me

You put the fear in me and said
if I wasn't to be everything you expected then a son I'm not in your eye's
and would be instantly rejected-
Your gifts of love were just fifths of pain
While I tried to maintain and refrain
You just laughed at me, you looked down on me, you threw down on me,
You made me feel worthless now you're dead to me, how does it feel to be,
What runs through you created me, one day I'll break free-
All I ever wanted was for you to believe in me
And everyday I prayed for, lived the day for
Was a chance to throw it back in your face

[Bridge]
Why do I have to feel like I'm constantly worthless
Every day I'm reminded of you, Father

I got a fist full of dollars and a one track mind
I gotta find what I'm looking for in the dead of night
3rd and 4e buildings to the sky
I've got one last chance to get high to get high
New York City might be the place to be
If your game is tight and if your green takes flight
Take another chance on the place that don't sleep
Creep on the sidewalks listen as she sleeps
I'm back and I'm down for whatever
Tribe Called Quest is in the CD player
Trik Turner bill boards in Time Square
No west coast G's just east coast players
Strike up a Newport sippin
on my import gotta get that buzz
For them clubs that be what I see
Ok MCs in my pathway better make room
I'm divin' deep into the groove

I said I'm back in the New York Groove
It's been a long time since I got down
Been a long time since I got down baby
So take a look around it ain't nothing nice
If your caught slippin' just another
Day in the life of that New York living
Where fast times makes for fast ways
In and out with the latest craze
It takes more than the average to amaze
The typical New Yorker can make you
Or break you either way it changes you
To something that you thought you'd never be
From rags to riches or riches to rags
Everyone plays a part you can see on
The faces of places and things that you've
Never seen it's all about the dollar dream
Owning millions have a penthouse in the tallest
Buildings I'm going all the way forget what
The critics say its all about them royalties
If you don't like it then suck on these!
I said I'm back in the New York Groove
I said I'm back in the New York Groove!

Pull up the 6 4 and open the door
We got models galore never seen us before
We swoop about ten and pick up a friend
We sticken shorties that kid prince
Taught me naughty this click is chillin
Yo we top billin'
New York Groove is how we livin'
I said I'm back in the New York Groove!
I said I'm back in the New York Groove!

How can you stare into my face-
Knowing what you've done with my trust you've misplaced-
With your selfish needs you appease-
It brings you down to your knees-
Begging please forgive for my sins-
Turn around and do it again-
How many times will it take-
How many promises will I break-
Why is it so bad to only want what you can't have-
It's therapeutic it fills my soul-
It makes me feel whole and complete-
You get that feeling like your being lifted off your feet-
You forget about everything that was mentioned in the past-
And the important things with meanings erase fast-
Here I go again will it ever end I can't quit-
Temptation is the drug and I'm the addict-
Said, here I go again will it ever end I can't quit-
Temptation is the drug and I'm the addict-

[Hook]
Everyday I have to fight with these urges that feel so right
Just one more time no one has to know
The devil controls my soul
I'll risk everything, temptation gets the best of me it gets the best of you
Everything, two paths, two roads, only one to choose
All that was is not the same, temptation gets the best of you-

This is an ode to my enemies livin' that
Hundred and three degrees black seas and
Brown trees, there's a dust devil blowin' not
Knowin' if were gonna survive so keep the faith
Alive, cause temptation gets the best of you
It gets the best of me it makes me fiend for
That green, money, power, sex and lust we must
Learn not to trust the little man inside of us
Now if ya want to be down, ya best be on the
Other side, time to bust, if ya wanna be that
Buster you better come with us I still don't
Trust ya

Temptation gets the best of me it gets the best of you
Two paths, two roads only on to choose

You look straight thru me, I see no reflection
You cut deep inside of me
I stitch my own infection
Grey is the sunshine that burns my skin
Grey is your rush I think your empty within
Fingernails cracked dried blood flows slow
In this world its time to walk away
Hey old friend its been a long time
I've been better, but thank you
Tomorrows yesterdays fades fast
Faster, then gives way
I've been better, but thank you
I'm no that I'm not like you
because I'm not like you )
I'm no that I'm not like you

Look in thru windows, trying to see you
Haven't slept in two days, I wanna be you
Looking at pictures, I see you smiling
You look so happy and I feel like dying
I read your diary your secrets now dead
I cut your name deep the ink is so red
A black Sunday loss as I clutch a cross
Until I die, our love is never lost
Hey old friend its been a long time
I've been better, but thank you
Tomorrows yesterdays fades fast
Faster, then gives way
I've been better, but thank you
I'm no that I'm not like you
because I'm not like you
I'm no that I'm not like you

Who's the black sheep, what's the black sheep
Not knowin' who I am it's DLB rippin deep
I wasn't in your realm but I'm in your sphere
You still don't know the click so just listen here
Trik Turner on the one's DBX on the two's
3's for them off beat crews like you's
back middle to the front don't front
you want a good time were gonna give you what
you want, can I get a hey, can I get a what
can I get a buck buck you know that's what I want
the styling is creative, Trik Turner is the natives
we can be violated or ever duplicated I got
nuhs from catch wreck and cousins of the
wize you know its no surprise that this shit
flies hi, yes which way, what, when, how, Mr.
Otto D. flip the track right now, I know you've
Heard the others wanna be dust covered but
Then again the choice is yours.

Where's the trick at here's the trik
And even if you wanted to you can't sound as sick
Watch us swing like this why should we
Swing it like that because in fact what yours
Might hold us back - therefore, I ignore
I do as I feel as I trust in "D" He's got my
Back tonight you know what I'm sayin' yo'
Trik I ain't play'n it's easy to roll
With this than to roll with that
With no delay and see an actuality to one
It can not be, I made it look easy because
It is to me, anytime capacity was filled, tried
To rock it, anytime a honey gave us play, tried
To knock it, never was a fool so I finished
School never seen us sweat, and you never
Seen us schooled, out to rock the world
Right here from my block, don't punch girls
And we don't punch a clock, gotta go gotta
Go see you later by the cat and you can't
Beat that with a bat

[Hook]
You can get with this or you can get with that
You can get with this or you can get with that
You should get with this cause this is where its at-

Engine engine number nine on that world wide
Transit line if my train goes off the track
Pick it up pick it up pick it up
Back on the scene, crispy and clean
You can try but don't lie because you can't get with me
We be the outcast, can outlast, and outblast
Let this shit rip and feel the rush, crushed
Open your doors you best believe we're sliding thru
Quickly, niftily we can make it hip to be
Down with this mess with two MC's
Fuck what you heard we on some T.O.P.
I'm still DLB

So now I turn triks cause I'm the true player
Hold your coat cause I got the container
Pass the plate across the fader
Trik Turner gets played like a Sony innovator
Never the traitor party inflator
And you can get a scoop later

Everything that exists in your perfect worldIs a web that you weaveMaking victims of anything or anyoneYou never make sense cause you speak in tonguesHe who thinks he knows all will someday fallAnd someday will eat the words they sayExpectations are set so high if you mustDegrade me then I wonder why? Is it me or isIt something I did or is it because your simply just jealous of us you know you've seen manydifferent styles come and go and you knowyou cannot get with the way Trik Turner rocksthe show you see what comes around goes aroundgoes down what comes around goes around goes downyes you know what comes around goes around goesdown what comes around goes around goes down no matter what the consequence is trends change asfast as the four winds when push comes to shoveI'll be the one who gets it done cause I neverForget man where I come from[Hook]It's just a process of elimination I'd like to peel your eyelidsBack to see, you always torment my own intentionsCredibility is what you strip from meSomeday when I come up I want you to feelWhat I had to feel on the other sideLivin' on the dark side yellin' at the moonSeven shades grey your in the temple of the boomWe drop bombs with some peckerwood shitFuck bounce to this, we gonna throw fists to thisPlayers and hustlers went out like 99', now itsTwo triple zero you still smokin' kindPlay that funky music white boy, fuck thatHow bout raise up to this level, the beat devilNo regurgitated slop, this ain't rock & hip hopThis is day one roots straight out the shootsTrik Turner recruits soon to form an armyWith one main objective, to silence & eliminateFake & plastic too drastic for those who holdThe mic like spastic, convulsions divulgeYour weakness, the reason that I speak thisBecause I'm tired of MC's, ABC's, one-two-threes,K.I.D.Z's, and all you wanna be's better checkYour stylees, I've crossed over, I've crossed allAround it, I've found the new sound same oldMachines, same old dreams, same old fiendsChuck T's and SP's, 808's garage sale cratesLifted, ya'll stay splifted, I remain gifted100% proof after sifted

when its tough makes it easy to lose
sight in what you strive for so much
that's why I never trust anyone who tries
To know me, that means to get the best of me
That's either my best friend or my enemy
Philosophy is my strategy either way it be
Society plays a role for me that's called
Lunacy to the tensions and the frustrations that
Are unmentioned to the dome either way you
look at it if things are left unsaid it
Remains alone I've tried so hard just to
Get to where I am whether
or not you recognize No you can't deny this
but you won't get it
'cause I won't let it ever be a factor cause
I know that's what your after humiliation is
Your destiny for you to get the best of me
You met your match so don't test me or-
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
Not from the ghetto but from the get go
Can't let go what I know, mad flow
I manifest with lyrical bless release that
Stress not claimin' the best but I'm preachin'
The test, 22 invested ingested it's like an
Everyday thing man peckerwood slang man
We don't pop collars and we don't pop Krys
We don't smoke trees we puff the dirty shit
We don't roll with players cause we some O.G.'s
We flip two turntables man fuck them CD's
I don't sport ice and I won't thread designers
Dickies to my chucks I consume at Mels Diner
Champagne and caviar makes me feel sick
I won't game a trick unless she sucks a good (whooo)
Dirty dirty, ya'll done heard me
Rollin' in my ride rockin' side to side
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
Go ahead and talk all that ish man
But you know you ain't got ish to back it
Go ahead and talk all that shit man
But you know we got shit to back it, what?

You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up
You'll get smacked up
Don't talk that crazy ish to me You better back up

I've seen the sun and I've seen the rainIn an imperfect world where everything seems the sameIt's just a vicious circle that keeps going 'roundGotta find a way to get out of hereI'm too addicted to this drome I call homeI'm always leaving only to come back againFor moreNo matter what the outcome isIt's just the way showbiz isIt eats you up spits you outIf your not here well then you gotTaken out so we[Hook]Let it rip, the beat never skipsOn the straight up tip yeahOn the strength we don't care 'bout yoursTrik Turner represents yours[Bridge]Blackened lungs and I'm to tired to runI've got seventeen more nights until I see the sunIf I could turn back timeI'd do it all again cause this is the lifeAnd I'm a Trik until the end nowDarken days paves the ways like city streets A blaze knock knock can your kids come out & playKeep your doors locked keep your eyes shutLay one on the trigger how you figure your biggerCause talk is cheep in the house of these slayers3 by 3 you can't fuck with these playerscause if ya down with me and if your round with meand then ya pound with me and then you'll clown with meand then ya smoke me but if ya joke with me then you'll die with me and then we'll transcendall bad things come to an end that's why we sparkin' this ish Trik Turner is the lick nowIt doesn't matter where you're fromWhere you go, how you flex, how you flowHow you're on to the next, new improved stylesHow you flip your shit and how you always keep it realIt doesn't amount to nothing Just as long as you let it rip

I'm sitting here waiting for my lover
Last time we met I wasn't to sure
Now I'm hoping, maybe dreaming, for a life as one
When she reads this I'm hoping she'll call
But I need much more than before
I need positive reactions whenever I'm down

Cause I'm sure so sure
That it's heaven knocking on my door
Sure so sure so baby come on inside
Need you so much more and more each time we touch
Sure so sure that it's sweet love I found

It isn't a game so don't play hard to get
(Tired of running after you)
There's no connections holding us down (down)
Isn't it a shame it never happened
Though still here we are the second time round
It's gotta be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible
It's gotta be right for love

Sure so sure
That it's heaven knocking on my door
Sure so sure so baby come on inside
Need you so much more and more each time we touch
Sure so sure that it's sweet love I found

Holdin', squeezin', touchin', teasin'
Wantin', wishin', waitin', teasin'
Of you love, yeah yeah
Blindin', groovin', feel it, move it
Findin', breathin', brakin', breedin'
With you girl
It's gotta be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible
It's gotta be right for love

Cause I'm sure so sure
That it's heaven knocking on my door
Sure so sure so baby come on inside
Need you so much more and more each time we touch
Sure so sure that it's sweet love I found

Some call me a loser
Some call me a cheater
Some say I'm a selfish untalented dreamer
Cause all's I try to do is keep my dream alive
But it's so hard to do when your working 9 to 5
I've never been one afraid to die
But I'm afraid to leave behind
The precious life that grows through the sands of time
Cause now I've got two daughters
And I know they need their father
To help them make it through all of the devious things that people do
Cause every moment counts from the good times to the bad
I don't have time to envy those that got things I've never had
Cause the one thing most important is the one we take for granted
And until your life is on that line I think it's the way god had planned it
To open up your eyes and make you realize
That to some life is money
But what's money without life
Cause all's I need is the air that I breathe
And my friends and family to believe in me

[

As deep as the abyss where the waters run
As deep as the land of the rising sun
You know I'm down
And even when them odds are against us
It doesn't even matter
Nothing else matters

We bleed the same blood
We cry the same tears
We have the same fears
We pass the same years
We see the same stars
Under the same skies
We pass the same time
We all live and die
Cause friends and family wash thicker than blood
And if ya' never felt love than I feel for you cuz'
Cuz' lives pass above us in 747's
Deceased dwell below us
Before they go to heaven
Everything in between will hassle me
Some stay connected while other keep dreaming
Looking for that meaning but the lost can't be found
Drop to your caps and pray
Now can ya' hear the sound?
Do ya' feel it?
Now do ya' feel it comin'?
Two triple zero the hunters are the hunted
Electrical currents conflict with the spirits
Ah do ya' hear it ah or do ya' feel it?
Deep like seven leagues life intrigues intelligence
Got no time for clutter, you're late if there's hesitance
Put your foot forward and there will be a helping hand
Take a step back and your stuck in the quick sand
Ingesting toxins keeps us locked in, a mental jail trap
99' where's your family at

[
]
Oh, and I might fail
Oh, I might succeed
Whatever the outcome is
Just keep your faith in me
Just believe in me
And I will be there

And how I'd grow up to be worthless-
