Field Negro lyrics - Royce Da 5'9"
You ain't been gettin' this money all your life
Oh you forgot about the roaches and all the mice
Out here livin' an alcoholic rapper artist life
What happened to art is life?
All of you kids is in charter school
And you startin' to do everything in private
Maybe that's from all of the charter flights
Make sure whatever you're doing is not in the dark
You know this shit is bound to come out eventually
Underneath all the lights
Rob a man, kidnap him, take him for all his rights
Degrade him all of his life
Rape his daughter, his wife
Nine months later, use the baby as piranha bait
We wasn't even allowed to pray
Let alone read or write
People like Cube opened them doors are politically correct negroes
Like you, close on 'em, keep you ice
Clap for 'em
They make you feel like they love you there
Your whole platform could swim with the fishes like huggy bear
(Your Maybach in your house is like that important that you won't move at all. It's distractions, that you won't say anything at all in risk of losing something. You won't say anything on anyone's behalf at this point?)
You ain't been gettin' riches ya whole life
Oh, you done forgot?
The oven door open on the stove in the kitchen
To heat up the house 'cause they done cut the heat off on ya home, right?
Okay, now you thinkin' you livin' so far away
Just 'cause you neighbors with Britney and K-Fed
Every artist in the game are phony
Fuckin' all the same thotties in the game since way back
And all the same thots in the game been givin' the same top
To the same guys in the game like one of Sway hats
The plight of the miserable wasted talent
Only guys with the hits of the tigers
Drakes and Khaleds, shit
This is what happens when your favorite artist never get challenged
Your favorite felon from the NFL has been silenced
My dad said, "Under no circumstance should a man
Considered a legend have nothing left on his death bed"
And any black man not willin' to stand up for his own rights
Should lose the use of his right and left leg"
They say I couldn't do it, so I went out and did it
They said they gave it to me, so I ain't ask for more
I stayed active every time a door slammed in my face
Stayed at the door
I stayed knocking, I stayed rockin'
I did it my way without all the complainin'
And all the whinin' all day like Kanye or Wale
For the validation of all the bloggers
And all the same gay ass awards
Fuck y'all and all them gay ass awards
We are livin' inside the same hell
And we all willin' to die to go the same heaven
But we are lyrically not on the same level
I'm scriblin' my killings down and sendin' them out like chain letters
I'm not here for the crown nor Tory Lanez cheddar
I'm here for respect or else I'm willin' to take off the belt
And whoop a young nigga's ass with it like James Evans
(A house negro look at you and say "Man you quick, what you mean separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this?"
Or is that house negro? In those days he was called a house nigga and what's we call him today, we still got some house niggers runnin' around here)
You only been livin' a small part of your life all the way up
Oh you forgot about your home that you grew up in
When you were starvin' with nothing
When it was stripes on all the canned goods in your closets and cupboards
You grew stripes and you developed the heart of a hustler
My grind Shawn Carter as fuck
I go back in time, sell George Washington Carver a nut
Plus, none of these artist can beat me
I'm [?] Christ on the Noah's Ark on the waters of Fiji
I'm truly the type that'd push your wig farther than BC
Leave your brains all over the street
My heart's on my sleeve, put my seed in the Garden of Eden
And start a new species, please, you know my steez
How you got a team and you ain't got loyalty?
How is y'all the kings and you ain't got royalties?
I been around homicides since Marky D
Kool Rock Ski, you disorderlies, you know my steez
Children is dyin', women is cryin'
We under attack, fool
What a better time to be famous, black and impactful
Name somethin' better to come together as one to react to
Shit we still comin' back from a check your past like lumber jack suits
You play for the NFL, I just wanna ask you
If you don't kneel with Kaep, it's simple math
They cannot run it past you
Niggas innovate, people penetrate, exclaimate
Off our inner hate
We oblige, so they make the riches, we don't rise
They just keep us high
Product of slave privilege, cop Ferraris to race a nigga
I do any job you can pay, if I can make a livin'
Locker straight, a whole lotta pacin', just so I can make a decision
Keep a honorable spirit, with not a whole lot of faith to distribute
They took the scriptures away and replaced it after makin' they own racist revisions
They crazy, basically they create shit just to play shit to take away shit to rig it
I'm pretty sure they maker is livid
They racist, they bigots
What's Christian about that?
They fakeness is vivid, the paper is printed
They should wake up every day and pray to the nature of business
Fuck a Laker, I could never play for the Pistons at the expense of creatin' division
The Wraith is exquisite, I'm 'bout that paper but it's gon' prob'ly take me a minute
I much rather be a atheist chasin' my faith through a prison
Assumin' the information is real, then play for a racist with a racist agenda
I hate you niggas, bow figures
The misappropriation of wisdom got you slaves to your own alienism, to pay a few bills - house nigga
I rather get hit with a Patriot missile than to be out here with ya exhibiting patriotism
They say a broke' clock is right two times, but it's never accurate
Truth time, okay
If some of us don't have time, some of us have time
Some of us perform in the half time
Some of us boycottin' half time
Some of us standin' up
Some of us sittin' down
Reparations and never get back to us
They'll forever just laugh at us
I think I found a way for you niggas to face your truth
Go ahead and try to trace your roots, that shit is rather miraculous
Them niggas took away the message and mess with the message in it
Embellish it just to spin it, just to sell that shit back to us
Greed lyrics - Ransom & Royce Da 5'9"
Turn your back and they'll shove a knife in your ribs
A father raisin' a gun while his son is fightin' a bid
Ironic 'cause he ain't really have nothin' nicer to give
You live the life that you love
Then you'll love the life that you live
So what's the price if you did?
Love life but can't afford a club night
With champagne taste? Money is Bud Light
You tellin' me to be negative
That's your blood type?
It's hard to sleep in a bed you made when the bugs bite
I'm sleepwalkin'
I come outside when the streets darkеn
Try not to oblige when you hear greed talkin'
I'm Frank Whitе it's no plea bargain
King of my city
I'ma serve every damn fiend that I see walkin'
Don't be threatened I teach lessons
Don't call me king 'cause every king suffered a beheadin'
It's seven deadly sins better preach reverend
I sever limbs with this sweet weapon, you better keep steppin'
I'm taking off I'll see you all soon
What's a mogul without his money?
A soldier without his war wounds
I'm hieroglyphics in a lost tomb
These are the facts
If you're the richest in here
Then you're in the wrong room
Shuckin' and jivin' get you called coon (yeah)
We all goons you a cartoon
You play a shark? I can get you harpooned
I talk to 'em like Malcolm under a dark moon
Harsh tunes
You want the smoke? I got all fumes (yeah)
A sharp broom like what God use
In too deep no time to argue
When your skin is a dark hue
Little man got his heart bruised and I'm John Q
Had to breeze when them arms drew (yeah)
Known to squeeze like a mongoose alarm you
Indeed for this greed niggas harm you
Think it's time that you leave
Don't believe but I warned you it's on you (uh)
Invest our spendin' in cars and bikes
Collect our stimulus stars and stripes
We left our women with scars and gripes
In death I'll reminisce starvin' nights
Mama sent me to help out Minnie to borrow some rice
Them jail bars imminent, guards and fights
Them Ls authentic as Karl Kani
And they trendin' as Telfar Clemens and Charleston White (uh)
True anomaly deep a view as optometry
Numerology speakin' through this autonomy
While the leaders confused
Tell Thomas MacDonald we don't agree with his views
But we approve of his honesty
That Beretta too deadly left his head in shambles
Packin' federal weaponry shovelin' mega manholes
Rather eat in the culture, never even to short ya
Who celebrate when they see you ate with seven candles?
Bahamadia or Heather B?
Every queen should never have to question her pedigree
That's Kevin Samuels
Orisha Orula to a kemetic G
My queen, a better you is a better me, that's Tevin Campbell
Why the labels embellish it why they never cancel?
Propagate it to scalin' it while they sellin' scandal
While the reverend rambles
Noreaga probably a better commando
Schwarzenegger was Reagan's Rambo
Your blow stepped on less shown said known
Your connect in the Rolodex Gomez Jones
He with three of his groupies give him co-ed chrome
Leave him with these lil' Uzis, give him four headstones
Gold chain sneakers choose your battle in Juice WRLD
Where Juice WRLD shallow and Cobain's deeper
The dope game's ether cocaine beepers
Coltrane peaks the Mulsanne speakers
The bro can't reach us the woke can't either
Sleepin' with Soul Train divas we post sangria
I speak for my Keishas my no-name chicas
Our folks ain't teach us our dough can't free us
You thousandnaire at the register never popped a tag
Your concierge never helped you out with your shoppin' bag
You not a real goon fam you never got to pass
You not a real DOOM fan you never copped a mask
Been two-steppin' since Jay-Z was yellin' "Holla back"
Produced records for Shady but never got the plaque
What I will retort is highly enforced
Invite me to war smile in the court then buy me a Porsche
Hoes colder than Debbie Allen I'm mighty divorced
Those po'er than Edgar Allen who tried me before
Who likely a corpse
Who reppin' the culture
Where Megan's toes is of lesser importance than Kylie's divorce (Uh)
The psychology of a meth head
Titty-lickin' a Masi' like I'm tryna be breastfed
My biggest fear is bein' sick with a problem
My children ain't proud of me givin' an apology from my death bed
Greed'll turn a friend into an enemy
Turn a positive energy to a jealousy
You better be aware if you don't wanna pay the penalty
Don't play the game if you don't care about your legacy
You tellin' me "Check, check out my melody"
Can't be my dog if I ain't sure about your pedigree
Hope these words are stickin' to you like Velcro
Money can't buy you love but it buys you everything else though
Woah
Gub'ment Cheese lyrics - Dem Southernfolkz, Royce Da 5'9" & Dwayne Swayze
Yeah, uh, uh
Shout out to big Ben, yeah, yeah
Matter of fact shout out to the whole world
No south, east, and west, know what I'm talking 'bout baby? Yeah
That's how we get it down south baby
This is how we get it down south baby, uh, yeah, yeah
Look here, uh
Plant a seed and watch it grow
Give 'em knowledge in they mind I'ma sow, gotta teach the youth
Show 'em love, show 'em how to do it
Free they minds, show 'em how to use it, let's take it back
To the place where my folks stay at
Down south where my folks raised at, now we the southern folk
See the scars, see what we been through
Leave a legacy when we get through, just the beginning of
Something classic, something like air flights
That cheese, bread and water baby, that's our life
That cheese, bread and water y'all that feed like
Four, five hundred thousand, they'd be hungry for life, huh
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters (yeah)
Government cheese
To each his own, don't eat the bone
Spit 'em out, chew the meat
But ain't nothing over here for you to eat though
Boys in the game like Calico
Gotta have vision for my people
To eat though gotta get heat like Benito
Came back home, faith got strong
But hold up homes, shouldn't take that long
Chris locked up in the penitentiary
Nate locked up in the penitentiary
Man boys locked up in the penitentiary
I remember back from elementary
Hyde Park y'all hold it down
Folks wonder why I don't come around
But I came around to my senses
Shorty got a booty like forty inches
Who feeding that, my seed in that
And we keeping that, gotta hold it down
Twenty inch spinner go round and round
Keep it percolating and circulating man
I'ma come through and I'ma hurt the hater man
I'ma come through and I'ma hurt the hater man
I'ma come through and I'ma hurt the hater man
I'ma come through and I'ma hurt the hater
Government cheese, bread and water (uh-huh)
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters (I'm feeling this one man)
Government cheese (yeah), bread and water (uh-huh)
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water (uh-huh)
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese (yeah), bread and water (5'9" baby)
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters (uh-huh)
Government cheese (yeah)
I do this for my babies
For little Royce and Aidy, I'm grateful the labels pay me
I'm hip-hop, I love you mama 'cause they raised me
And every day hip-hop keeps saying come and save me
It's crazy to think I'm the man coming to the fam
Thanksgiving with the turkey and the gravy
Remember when my mama used to heat a pot of water
On the stove just to bathe me, that woman was amazing
Who else can make a outfit outta paisley that daddy bought?
And make me think it's fly, daddy taught me bravery
Who else could take a lower wage for the sake of benefits
Just so his kids will be healthy even when they friends is sick
The things you take for granted when you're living carefree
Ain't taking nothing seriously, your family there is G
I miss being a kid, homie you know that
But never mind that 'cause Ryan ain't tryna go back to
Government cheese (uh-uh), bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese
Desert feeds worm, worm feeds falcon, and falcon feeds man
Could someone tell me if this is God's plan? Good question
These lessons passed down by those that came before us
I spent twenty-four hours living out the words in the chorus
It's like the poorer we are the harder we starve
Instead of strive baby steps to crawl towards the bright light
At the end of the tunnel if we reach it it means that it's the
End of a struggle, born with a natural hustle
Houston, Texas created its own breed of thug
Quarter mil in the bank homie, ain't filed taxes once
We go against the grain, for years overlooked
By the industry's disdained, but still Dwayne
Knows that my origins stained 'cause of those that came before me
Lyrically matched, only a few could outperform me
Took what I was given, watched it multiply before me
That's exactly what created Mr. Dwayne Swayze's story
Nothing is something, guts to glory, phoenix rising
Mine rock to a diamond, for by grace or ye
Saved through faith, henceforth I gotta get it
By any means it takes and pray I get to the gates, yeah
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese, bread and water
Gotta do whatever feed my sons and my daughters
Government cheese
I'm Good lyrics - Royce Da 5'9"
I'd like to thank my moms
I'd like to thank my god as I
Stand at this podium in my mind
Hold the applause, it's my mental award
Individuality is a must to be second to none
Equal is a plus if you could be here with me
If nothing, we can discuss but me winning
Cause I been MVP of this league
Of my dreams from the beginning, let's go
My life is marvelous
My mental overhead is high
If you die then you double-crossed me
You lost you a part of it
I lost my favorite art to the same as my sign
They told me to hang in there
So I've been sittin' inside of this frame
In the hall of fame in my mind
And it's only me and pain in there
I just move the pawn
I read the Bible, never knew the Psalms
You countin' moolah with your thumb
Understand if money's the root of evil is the rule of thumb
That Patrón came and won, look what you've become
I just move the bishop
He who recognizes his own problems
Is he who finally truly gets it
The wise words motivating its own recession
Get you a shovel
Dig your way to hell and buy back what you sold to Satan, shit
I'm somebody somebody would prolly switch places with
Everybody dreams, not everybody gets to chase the shit
After a couple million records in
I'm not JAY-Z standing next to the president
I'm not balling like Mike Jordan
All I know is, I'm 'bout to be greater than I ever been
So I'm good
I'd like to thank my fake friends, how real is that?
No holdin' applause for y'all, hope you get the clap
I'm still chasing my dream nigga, how real is that?
I know what making it means nigga, how real is that?
So I'm good
Through all the chaos and chasing my dreams
Ladies and G's, I found time to make babies
Babies who think that I'm great
Now I can teach 'em to strive to be greater than me
And to me, that's what making it means, yo
Haters can rest in peace
Fuck this record business and they label discrepancies
Fuck all this shit out here that could be the death of me
Fuck these award shows, I made my own acceptance speech
I'd like to nominate myself
For not letting this business drag me away from my family
Grammys, parties, man these, memories is heavy
Today's artists they different, they into shit like
Xannies, mani-pedis
No disrespect to the younger rappers
I don't want y'all to misinterpret nothing, it's cool
I don't want y'all to think I actually take time out of my day
To think about or give a fuck what you do
Man, I don't give a fuck what you do
I'm too busy staying away from them temptations and things
Plus I just bought a place and it's clean
My son is in the basement hitting on one of them drum machines
And I'ma help him make it, see that's what making it
Means
After a couple million records in
I'm not JAY-Z standing next to the president
I'm not balling like Mike Jordan
All I know is, I'm 'bout to be greater than I ever been
So I'm good
I'd like to thank my fake friends, how real is that?
No holdin' applause for y'all, hope you get the clap
I'm still chasing my dream nigga, how real is that?
I know what making it means nigga, how real is that?
So I'm good
Through all the chaos and chasing my dreams
Ladies and G's, I found time to make babies
Babies who think that I'm great
Now I can teach 'em to strive to be greater than me
And to me, that's what making it means
Made lyrics - Royce Da 5'9"
I was made
I was made
I was made
I was made to be zoned out
I was made to get on top
I was made to come outshine
I was made to be on time
I was made
When it ain't nothing but a thang to a real nigga
And that's real talk
Real talk ain't something I be tryna do, I just talk and it's just real
Goddamn, seem like God be doing me favors every year
Every year, seems like another nigga plays himself
And take himself out of my circle
With his own shit that don't match what I be on
Grown men shouldn't have to lie
You niggas putting everything on everything
I was born to get my Isley on
To be alone at the top, you niggas born for the mezzanine
It ain't nothing for a corny nigga to get on
And spread corny nigga syndrome, it's sickening
It's going around with the quickness
Like a Hollywood wedding ring
These bitches in this business belong to the business
They always gon' be looking for bigger and better things
So I just sit back, zone and watch shit
Everything I do in my day, I do on my own recognizance
And everything I got, I own
It's probably a little hard for you to process, 'cause you shoplift
Wonder why you a target cause a target
Putting a twelve pair of socks down in your crock
Your child with you watching, look what you done started
And I was made to tell bitches, "Get out"
Not only do you gotta get out
Your contact gotta be out my phone
You won't try to get me out my zone
I was made to be zoned out
I was made to get on top
I was made to come outshine
I was made to be on time
You was made to be stressed out
You was made to feel left out
You was made to be a letdown
If it wasn't for suckas, if it wasn't for suckas
If it wasn't for suckas, I wouldn't look so real (Woo!)
Ain't nothing for a fake nigga to look real
Because he be's with his squad
Really, you only looking real to the other fakes
To me, you looking like peas in a pod
It ain't nothing for a couple of real niggas
To come through there and just bust everybody head
Real niggas don't gossip, we zone out
And say what we wanna say, we don't care how you hear
God made man, woman and child in the eyes of His beloved
Likeness is like this
A lot of people are real and this is why He made suckas
Now, just imagine living inside of a world
Where the whole society's ass backwards
But everybody is solid and all that you have accomplished
In your life and nobody gets mad at it
All I know is that I continue to be eyes for suckas
Been around me since school
I don't want 'em around me but I do want 'em around
'Cause see, I need the fuel
People don't have a need for the paper boy
When they reading the news but that don't mean he ain't on his route
There's a certain velour to being the son of a addict
I was born zoning out
I was made to be zoned out
I was made to get on top
I was made to come outshine
I was made to be on time
I was made
You know what? I wanna thank you, sucka
Without you, there is no me
So in return, I won't spank you, sucka
I came up with a laugh for all of your nonsense
But it's more like a saying, sucka
Next time you come around a nigga playing, sucka
I'm gonna "sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka"
It's kinda like the Popeye laugh, I pray to God that my kind last
All you niggas sitting in front of your computer hating
I got more Ws than your dotcom has
Nigga, I'm not mad, I'm so happy, I'm avant garde
My wife taste like water, she got agua ass
It's double doors on the crib and I'm pretty sure
I just did the Cha Cha Slide right by the oblong glass
Sucka, sucka, sucka-sucka-sucka
Only people in this world I need is my father, brother, brother
Fuck around with anyone of them, I'll come and slug ya
And I ain't talking like Babe Ruth
I ain't swinging nothing, nigga, I'ma turn your block to Beirut
My mama told be "Just be strong"
So I'm ignoring niggas, fuck outta here, sucka, let me zone
I was made to be zoned out
I was made to get on top
I was made to come outshine
I was made to be on time
You was made to be stressed out
You was made to feel left out
You was made to be a letdown
If it wasn't for suckas, if it wasn't for suckas
If it wasn't for suckas, I wouldn't look so real (Woo!)
I was made
I was made
If it wasn't for suckas, if it wasn't for suckas
If it wasn't for suckas, I wouldn't look so real (Woo!)
No Coming Back From That lyrics - Royce Da 5'9"
Nigga I will rap a circle 'round, a circle 'round you
I navigate with wizardry throughout the Earth around you
Shout-out to Drake, no bitch could be the "Best I Ever Had"
My candy cane dick and mint balls
But she ain't suckin' if her breath is bad!
Sufferin' Succotash right now I'm bubbling, fuck a past
Google me, hoochie groupie, watch what I come up as
I'm the man in this bitch, so by demand in this bitch
Now, bitches want my attention like the Canibus diss
You ain't got no mechanical mandible quit handling dick
We liked you before the army, now we ain't a fan of your shit
You know my MAC pop, Detroit is my backdrop
Now, shut your ass up and go have some sex with your laptop
Ha, you too nerdy I'm too scurvy, one gun pointed at your head
My silhouette lookin' like two-thirty
The only thing in this life I can't fight is violence
Bar Exam 3 dropping same night the fight is
You sleeping, I'll take a knife and aim right for your eyelids
(Slaughterhouse!) Right, I got an insane cypher
And if you step in my lane, claiming you way nicer
I'ma be wiping your brains off of my Range wipers
I will handle you, the .357 gon' handled, dude
The barrel stick out longer than the handle do
I'll shoot you, your crew, and the cops riding with you
I got issues, they call me "Shots Fired" Nickel
Equivalent to the psychical lock by a pitbull
To whip me is impossible
Rock a pinnacle, drinking the opposite of subliminal thinking
Compared to y'all, I'm a don, a criminal kingpin
I see why these niggas wanna run
When I invite them to the loneliest place in the world one-on-one
And tell your mama I'm a baller
Matter fact, tell your mama I'ma call her
Hurricane flowing like water, I'm grounded like Katrina
I sound like I fell in all New Orleans
Allow me to go Dionne Warwick (Warwick!)
And make a prediction for the future drama, I'm for it
You just melodic artists
I bring all of my private parts to your private party
And stick 'em inside your daughter
Psychotic aura, the hat on my head is not a fedora
The reason why your wifey's bottom is sorer
Benzino the hardest nigga? You know don't know him for hammers
You know him for talking shit with Norey behind the cameras
I blam at you I damage you
Wait—did I just say "blam at you and damage you?"
Fuck it! These niggas amateurs
I handle toasters, I'm feeling like my Grammy closer
And your bitch can feel a "ping" like Emani Poster
Walkin' around with handheld ovens that ring
Or change your color like Sammy Sosa
I'm sicker, man, who grosser?
I spit it from the stomach with a ulcer
And if you want it, you can come in closer
And experience the taste of a knuckle sandwich
Waste your father, waste your mother, fuck your parents
Play with me, you know you playing on All-Madden
You all that until your potato get au gratin
You all phony, Tony Montana
'Til I stick you in the dirt and call you Earth-tone like fall fashion
Haha! Pardon, I had to laugh at that one
Usually I laugh at rappers
Wrap both of my hands around they Adam's Apples and squeeze
Until they see the light inside the tabernacle
No coming back from that one!
You know Royce gon' kill y'all niggas, right?
Ha! That nigga's crazy!
Plug lyrics - Minus & Royce Da 5'9"
Yeah
Minus in the place to be
Grinding in the trenches, cooking in the kitchen
Sweating, washing dishes, I was struggling for a living
Had a grand hustle vision, hindsight that's a bitching
She don't say a fucking word unless I give her ass permission
I can tell you what it is but you'll probably think it isn't
Had an open mind folded, shit it ain't a competition
If it was, can't a motherfucker touch what I been pitching
I'm the plug, motherfucker
Good God almighty, I done put shit in my body
That was toxic, kamikaze got me riding
Like I'm looking for a death wish, breathlessness, a zombie
I be on your neck, bitch, I'm a threat, tú no sabes mi problemas
Got these vendettas, they done copied everything
From the flow to the bio in the lobby of my website
At the headlight, they be knocking with a lead pipe
Till they dead like they ain't walking, go to bed like red light
Sleeping at the wheel, they ain't fucking with me still
[?] feels like some headlights
I can see these dirty motherfuckers making deals
On the back of hard work that I would build, I was there like
I could recognize what it is, it ain't hard to really tell who's a snake
And I'm reminded by the smell right (yeah)
I was really in the field putting [?]
[?] these motherfuckers knowing I was damn right
Dropping on these bitches like Geronimo
Tenfold listeners, I gotta go
Tell me it's improbable but I ain't got a problem with it
As long as I got a percentage, believe me I know that it's possible, uh
I been talking shit on the back nine
Knowing I'ma sleep the opposition like it's nap time
They don't like me as a competition for the fact I
Put them in the coffin, it was awkward, I was that guy
Grinding in the trenches, cooking in the kitchen
Sweating, washing dishes, I was struggling for a living
Had a grand hustle vision, hindsight that's a bitching
She don't say a fucking word unless I give her ass permission
I can tell you what it is but you'll probably think it isn't
Had an open mind folded, shit it ain't a competition
If it was, can't a motherfucker touch what I been pitching
I'm the plug, motherfucker, give it up, take a listen, ah
Grinding in the trenches, sitting with my henchmen
It's not a intervention, it's [?]
You niggas all playing, this shit is all planned
Switching blog brands, division broadband
I don't do the hurting, see my own blood run out
I just do the verses till my bone thugs come out
Neck to neck on records with Shady, Royce is nice
You neck to neck with necklaces made of moist and ice
No-fly zone, nigga don't play yourself
Or you and your guys going home on conveyor belt
Get a barcode for the ants in the rat race
Trading y'all souls for advances in cachet
All men wanna stand on ten toes
[?] folk ain't your kinfolk
Everybody ain't praying for the info
Everybody ain't playing with the insults
It's my time, niggas better tell these cowards
White light nigga, these the petty hours
Side eye niggas out to Eddie Bauer
Looking like Freddie Gibbs on a set of power
I took a few hits, took a nigga missus
You went and took a shit looking in her mentions
Getting riches, took it with a tipping
Point is, my point is I'm cooking in the kitchen
Grinding in the trenches, cooking in the kitchen
Sweating, washing dishes, I was struggling for a living
Had a grand hustle vision, hindsight that's a bitching
She don't say a fucking word unless I give her ass permission
I can tell you what it is but you'll probably think it isn't
Had an open mind folded, shit it ain't a competition
If it was, can't a motherfucker touch what I been pitching
I'm the plug, motherfucker, give it up, take a listen, ah
Right Hand Man lyrics - Royce Da 5'9" (feat. Black Thought)
Please be advised, that glory be to God
Spoiler alert: at the end of the story, we survive
Thinkin' about how lucky we ought to be alive
My day-one right hand was like a cyanide
Feelin' too thinner when I'm anorexic
Up against the blessin', better strategize my exit
My weapon's drawn with a right or left, I'm ambidextrous
I am infectious, I'm what history's corrected
Inside the eyes of a beast that lies in the shadow
Who lives in a revolution and dies in a battle
For name and fortune, through the blood, sweat, and torture
In front of a smokin' gun, the slug that's an orphan
A box they brought to me for my son, that's a coffin
I would've taken his place, but lost him, look what it cost him
We pledge allegiance to the nether regions
My right hand man break bones when gettin' even
For honor, country and state, there's not a better reason
To wake up, feelin' as if I've been tried for treason
My whole life had been a battle in it of itself
My story feelin' like it belong to someone else
I hope for a sort of separate the fact from the folklore
The constitution's a record I ghostwrote for
Stripes and stars I pay the gross quote for
That old broke blood-soaked flag that spoke for the victories
Fit the steez of a young canon who could click and squeeze
My iniquity is thick as thieves
With civil liberties gettin' fricassee
Am I willin' to die for it? Yes, indeed
So take ten paces and spin around
Plantation, put in the ground, put 'em in the ground
Stash the right-hand man, look around
Tried to take a stand but it took him down
My last right-hand man turned to snake in the end
He fooled me once but you know how them haters pretend
My left hand switched, it tried to switch back and make it amends
But gettin' rich after's the greatest revenge
We are soldiers of fortune, lyrical Odins
Swimmin' with the sharks and orcas, deliverin' tortures
Poem send you walkin' to the holy gates, another life I'm gon' erase
If you don't cut it like a butterknife, look, we ain't brothers, not no relation
In a world where you gotta watch both hands
Like tryna tell time on a flooded iced Rollie facin'
Your watch is a square like your wrist is a different shape
I demonstrate 'cause you let niggas slide, they quick to figure skate
Silence is golden while I'm rollin' by
I spit it like I dipped the entire alphabet in gold and stole a golden eye
I visualize pyramids, then let my intellect build it
The truth is dead, nigga, the internet killed it
I got the power shiftin' in the next building, watchin' the World Trade
While my vinyl drop in the tower just to get third paid
It's 9/11 when I rhyme a record
I may just record a bunch of somethin', outrageous
I was fuckin' drunk when I made it, so I may just
Call it what I wanna call it like it's Kanye's shit
They call me Origami lured with the Glock, I tie your soul in a knot
Then after this, I'm out on tour in a mosh
They say the money can't buy happiness
Well I'd have to just assume that you niggas don't know where the shot
My cannon know when to pop, I'm drinkin' Henny' in my sleep
It's every man for himself, it can get stingy in these streets
If we ain't careful, watch your right-hand man, look around
While you was biggin' him up, the nigga took you down
Watch who you givin' your trust, an inch to a mile
Put 'em in the ground, put 'em in the ground, put 'em in the ground
Please be advised, glory be to God
Spoiler alert: at the end of the story, we survive
Thinkin' about how lucky we ought to be alive
My day-one right hand was like a cyanide
Down to catch a three to five over its peace of mind
And guilt and foolish pride, but he had a ghoulish side
He staged revolutionary suicide
He load the black thoughts into his nickel .9
He had a state of mind that was too combined
He laid the evolution for the youth to ride
The definition of a coup d'etat
This is the definition of a true demise
This is murderin' cold blood in front of Koolie Ha
Now they kissin' my coke cheek, like I'm Cochise
This a mixture of art like Muay-Thai
Silence Of The Lambda lyrics - Royce Da 5'9"
Let the beat play, Broady
Uh, solidarity like that muscle we refuse to flex
That synergy that these niggas just refuse to tap into
In our disparity, match our hustle, we exude success
Attack us mentally, that's that energy kings get trapped into
Therefore I'm done promoting the dumb shit
I'll put a hole in your son while he's holding your Sun Chips
While you're over there with a chip on your shoulder
Like you Hova or some shit
Your flow is redundant, I'll separate your body from soul
Now your body is cold, spiraling out of control
Now you're over there, body odor is pungent
For coming out of your body over assumptions
Look at all this passive aggressive pussying
All the past neglectful positions these pussies put me in
We them cool niggas bringin' food, liquor and fullies In
They do all the yelling and accuse Nickel of bullying
Cruelty to MCs Is intellectual vibrato
Run up full speed, hit niggas with the message like Wallo
I bleed mint leaf
I grieve mentally in sync with Ne-Yo and Stevie's sensory
I squeeze until the Eagle's completely empty
I'm 3 Dimen-try, now feed me MCs, I'm greed and envy
Carlito, watch me go repo y'all sweetie's Bentley
I skid mark through these thoughts with a narc's commit larceny
I live hardly, to incarcerate me is to kill softly
Either/or, it's me or it's Bill Cosby
They tryna kill a Lord online premature as Biz Markie
Can't expect you to like me more than you love rap beefin'
You respect white people more than you love black people
Shit, I let you waste where the apes ate
I SMH, I let you nay-say, y'all legends ain't safe
I desecrate Flex, I decorate Sway
I estimate a hundred left, I let the Kay slay
I don't carry suitcases on big runs to malls deep
I don't carry big guns to a small beef
I don't really care what Mickey Factz has to say, add Lupe
That's touche, I don't care for big gums and small teeth
You know the gold all froze if I'ma purchase bling
Just so you know, not a soul walkin' the Earth this mean
Bow before the king, kiss the "GOAT" all-purpose ring
While the God poses like a Bow/Soulja "Verzuz" meme
Y'all with all the jokes, laugh hard but y'all ridiculous
I'm with all the smoke, Matt Barnes, Sha'Carri Richardson
Proving rap pays through the Wraith's cache
I'm the dude they threw the case at like 8-track tapes
Blew eight stacks at Peter Luger's 'til it's your faith at stake
Who waves at the Louis haters through the new Maybach drapes
We gon' do this for Kanye, if you can relate, that's Drake
We come shootin' for Conway, Ruger your face back straight
A hundred and seventy on the dash
All the felonies and the demonic acts
With devils like Vlad always selling me all of the trauma back
I speak to cabarets as a deviation Of drama
Pastors in wave caps as a recreation of honor
Glad to appreciate black abbreviations of genres
Battle me A$AP, that's for PDA with Rihanna
These male betas with crying attitudes, I ain't mad at you
My kind of fabric is well tailored to a Byron Allen suit
You are, you are a superstar, a superstar
But usually, I'm choosing peace of Heaven or Taxstone
From using celery ranch to moving into a new elegant ranch home
A true MC, y'all doing them regular degular dance songs
You losin' your teeth, moving like using Kevin Durant comb
We sheddin' light whenever the mic and drums get blacked on
The bed of knives, the never polite and young relaxed on
Here comes the Thundercats song, karate beef, Miyagi
Keep it completely boxer brief, don't da-dun da-dun get waxed on
And that's the Ritz
I'm staying tonight for writing the scripts that last long
I like my crackers dead and white just like them shits that Shaq own
Call me Big Cialis, if she stalk then switch my address
Give Viagra dick diagonal, lick her walls and it's Niagara
This androgynous fly actress I'm involved with is my Astra
Lick my ass, and if y'all askin' if I'm gaspin', it's my asthma
Y'all listenin' to the master whose been talking to the masses
Whose been listening to thy master through this targeted diaspora
Y'all get awards to get in wars, I spit water dilution
I'm ballin', I hit record, I'm gettin' courted by Lucian
The Lord abuses the blacker culture with actors like Rapaport
Rap your chorus, distract you boys just to lower the nooses
The more important the news is, more distorted the views is
Vax all, they employ Lou to exploit the movement
To know it's cops killing Blacks, God is a mortal nuisance
Hole in your top, that's the last straw like quarter juices
The more exclusive, Dior or Gucci? Imported boosters
It's still more juvies and 42s that the court accuses
I wish Nick Cannon the testicular fortitude
To forty new stepchildren to inject him with the cure to lupus
Pain ain't even frequent, just evil teasing the godly
It ain't even inside me, it's just weakness leaving the body
I flipped my heritage, redefined it to die in jail
Buy and sell for my clientele but without the Mayans' help
Ryan, big alliances, clique of lions that's eyein' elk
Built the giant pyramids in alignment with Orion's Belt
Well you ain't gotta lie you a hostile guy
Like you about to ride with new entourage but you not too wise
You been ostracized, you used to rock with Nas
You was hot, July, but look at you now, you just Afu-Ra
Loaded Lux said if we battle then he gon' sit with Lu'
I told him, "You're dead if we battled, now who gon' sit with you?"
I'm the great MC, all the ladies see, y'all the latency
In HD and 1080p and this shit for publicity
You and Mick couldn't mix your written
And spit good as a pic of me
Stop it or sit with the Doc or quit with the hickory dickory
This Oscar de la Renta cloth is on a Kunta Kinte
Tutor for the school of pen play, offering a fool the template
It's hard to differentiate O-Dog or who Larenz Tate
Judas From Ingrate, who the students from who the sensei
The car, the mascot far as moving packs on a back block
Nobody argue with Shaq while rooting Dikembe
Take your momma out on a date at the Barclay's
Like I'm Drake on the parquet, call the Uber soon as the rent paid
When it's the last shot with a second left
The second bests-es and RJs need to get used to moving with MJ
Everybody Bron'in' or Allen Iverson cornrows
Heavy grindin' on every island out of the Congos
I have not encountered violent exchange through a convo
So I don't holler, I do the bodies, Janes and John Does
We can kick it, be specific or meet with my Timberland sole
Y'all timid and bold, y'all feminine trolls pretending it's smoke
Got bitches sniffin' Armenian blow, I'm Benny, I'm Kenny and Cole
I'm Bimmy and Po, I'll hit my enemy and chalk any opposed
If Umi said you really the GOAT, who tryna hit 'em the mos'?
I'm hollering that we outside like my nigga King Los
I hardly heart, you be outside unless y'all be whispering low
"We back outside", quit lying, ho, you sound like Remy and Joe
No, watch the reactions of your kids
Masculinity ain't what's toxic, the absence of it is
I'm Jill Scott playin' Gil Scott Heron
With Preem, H.E.R. and D'Angelo, queen serving me cantaloupe
Hammock low, swerve Lambs on Atlanta roads
Earl "Animal" Manigault, furs lamb or the nana goat
The pearl handle where ammo go
Answer war with your girl, nana or aunt'll go
Cancel cultures annual, Santa Po is the anecdote
Cancer don't take for granted no family though
The streets won't hand us no manual so we go Hansel Emmanuel
You forgot the dude who about the Chi whose was locked inside
Without him, you'd be dead, probably dread standing beside you
Fed salmon and lied to, while the red camera disguise you
You violent but where was that for the Craig Kallmans and Kaisers?
Nine minute style about me, I had to make fun of bro
I got plently problems, my nigga, rappin' ain't one of those
Rappin' ain't one of those...
What A Time lyrics - Royce Da 5'9" (feat. Courtney Bell & Liz Rodriguez)
Brrah
We don't wanna live by the rules
Sound the hunting, I ain't no good for you
My phone made me buy big money
Tryna wash my mind
Put a time, put a time
(Yeah, yeah, body)
Put a time, put a time
Distracted in every facet
Bread from a casket, I won't shuck and jive for no master
Boy, I owe my masters
How you feedin' poison to the masses?
Liquor stores and fast food, we dine over fashion
This ain't no American dream, gave us American pie
I sliced it up for the team, they hate when you make it out
And you look just like me, a black messiah
Clip your wings when you sayin' here to lead, look
How you make me follow law when I'm not human?
Three-fifths of a man is what you wrote in constitutions, look
In the words of Hampton, I'm the revolution
No CO or TELCO can stop this movement
Forcing needles on us, Takiki experiment, recon on us
It's gon' be alive long as I'm speaking on it
Since we teaching on it, I'm a radical, I stand for the people
Can't no amount of money make me deceive them, oh yeah
We don't wanna live by the rules
Sound the hunting, I ain't no good for you
My phone made me buy big money
Tryna wash my mind
For the time, for the time, for the time
I'm the last real rapper since Curtis Jackson, perhaps 'cause y'all done killed them all
Dillers even mixed Mac Miller pack with the fentanyl
Your body is my wonderland
Me and my lady vibin' and Ed Sheeran, floggin' them damn Karens
Me and Courtney, we called us the Gifted Gab
Union And Roly Diamonds too cloudy to be this transparent
That street sweeper get the light and then pray you the janitor
That speech flippin' with enlightenin' fatal pentameter
I keep livin' to give life to your fable for amateurs
I robbed a dealer at the roulette table for gamblers
I leave dick in your mother
Mary, you may wanna come clean
You may end up related to J. Rule The Damager
I put the journey in gurneys like the return of Isley
Lies and sermons and ivies internalize me
Burnin' rivalries, God's return from my urn of ivory
Lighty and Hermes from the Turner Diary
I got headless rappers buried at my address
I got Virgil ashes gettin' married on my lap desk
Depression is refreshing, accept it as my sadness
Happiness is a blessing, a method to my madness
We don't wanna live by the rules
Sound the hunting, I ain't no good for you
My phone made me buy big money
Tryna wash my mind
All the time, all the time, all the time
