C-Doc: Good evening everybody It's a pleasure to be here
We'd like to give you just a little Something for your ears
I know you've never heard of us Allow me to be clear- that we're
Gonna make you shout like Tears for Fears- among our
Peers we're that little group they Think is odd
But we here to keep working till we Hear you applaud
And it probably won't be pretty As we RUNNIN roughshod
We be known as the world's first Virtual rapp squad
Blackalicious, Dilated Peoples, PE
Fatlip from the Pharcyde Guru rest in peace
One Be Lo, X Clan, Dres From Black Sheep- and Black
Moon were the names that were Up on the marquee
I made this beat for Blackwell But had to take it back
It's ok if you don't know him cause The dude is kinda wack
But now officially it's an Impossebulls track
And your official introduction to this Opening act...
Marcus J: Can I get a hand clap this is for the people in the back
The ones who came late missed the opening act
Missed the opening act? But wait that’s us
First, I apologize I very rarely cuss
But damn it do you know what I did to get up here
Mic check is this mic on do you care
Yes you I’m talking to you at the bar
Those that have heard not a word so far
I mean please I know you’ve never heard of us
But we The Bulls and yes there is a herd of us
And that’s a joke admittedly a weak rhyme
But I try hard and therefore I beg your time
You came to see PE, Chuck D and Flav
They’re the ones who taught us how to educate slaves
So if you got a problem with the opening act
I’m sorry it’s Impossebull to get your money back

Marcus: I'm runnin this shit Hiphop marathon
With mics and turntables we Be the paragon
Mported Flows: Turn it on as we reaching to the Upper echelon
Run up in yo party Steal the mic and then we gone
C-Doc: I'm not the best emcee but God-Damn if I don't try
Pull the mic from the stand And raise it up into the sky
Mported Flows: On some HeMan shit "By the power of grey skull"
C-Doc: And play all wack muthafuckas Like baseball
Mported Flows: 1, 2, 3 Three strikes and then you're out
Put the mic away now and Close your fuckin mouth
Marcus: And if you got the naysayers Fillin you with doubt
Remember that this Hiphop is What it's all about
C-Doc: We about to set it up and Knock em all down- from the
Sound now you see Emcees hit the ground
Marcus: Old school style on an MP3
Mported Flows: If you're runnin with the Bulls Then you're runnin with me...
Marcus: I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick on the mic unlike these mic liars
C-Doc: Sick with the truth, one mic , no booth
Sick of false facts backed with no proof
Mported Flows: I’m tired of these MC's steppin to me
When they know that the mic is a weapon to me
They know they got no skill better than me
Marcus: These blue cheese MCs taste like cheddar to me
My tongue be numb impervious to the pain
C-Doc: I’m tired of the sick rhymes stuck in my brain
I’m sick of the tired rhymes, all sound the same
Marcus: I’m tired of the sickness, sick of the fame
What fame? got some but none can be explained
Mported Flows: I’m quick with the key to free the enslaved
No stamp made contains my heroes
Marcus: Majestic my words soar straight like arrows
Mported Flows: Let me tell you bout the movement I'm moving here to show and prove and
Letting all the people in the crowd see what I'm doin
Marcus: Yes I'm cruisin back-and-forth right across the stage
Bruising up the mic like Tyson on a rampage
C-Doc: Can't cage this now you thought we was laid-back
Slay tracks tear em down looking for the payback
Stay back
Mported Flows: I'm about to hit it with the quick
And vomit up my lyrics cause I gotta make it sick
Marcus: Take a pick between the beats and lyrics we kick
Or put on the radio and hear some bubblegum shit
C-Doc: We here to spit like a little kid throwing a fit
Like Doc Ellis on the mound before delivering the pitch
Mported Flows: Aww shit... We never gonna quit we cool
You can call us old but it's more original school
Marcus: All these fools separate but the Bulls unify
Stay together like a young virgin's two inner thighs
C-Doc: Oh my you'll never find the truth in lies
And we ain't dressing up our music in no corny disguise
Mported Flows: No surprise this is us from the jump
Hit you in the face with the bass like a pistol grip pump
Marcus: Cause we trump all crews and they knew they were through
C-Doc: So fuck who? You better listen now what to do
Just take a moment to process that everything here is true
Mported Flows: If you're not runnin' with us then we be gunnin' for you...!

C-Doc: It was 1986 when my Life was changed... When these
Three brothers showed me how to Walk This Way
And every day seemed like it Couldn't get better... But in
1987 it was Bigger and Deffer and
Fresh! For 1988 You suckers!
My philosophy began to Change to another... It was
All about the music and Everything they wrote... Eric
B is President and he Had my vote... Every
Word they spoke every Line every stanza
You gots to chill was just Fucking bananas... Yo!
MTV raps would keep My brain fed every
Saturday... night of the Living Baseheads was a
3 minute 14 second Timebomb... Now I'm
Lookin for my own instrumentals To rhyme on...
Ain't no half steppin so I Gotta commit
Said to myself Yo Doc you gotta Do this shit... And Get back...
Chorus (Brother Mike Williams): I'm goin back now- to a time when
Real emcees did the rhymin
And music had that excitement
Remember those days...
Let's get it back now- what's behind me
The soul that came to define me
And Hiphop could just remind me
Remind me of those days...
Chuck D: Now I go back ten years before that
1976 and I heard a mix
DJ's and Emcees on a cassette
There was no such thing as rap records yet
DJ Hollywood and DJ Smalls said
Something like "Yes Yes Y'all"
I was hooked- I said what the hell was this?
Eric said Emcee, Lisa said a mix
Hip hop, so I never did ever stop
The party spot, the body rock
Starski, Flash, Spectrum City, Hank Shock
Lead me to hear and see a
DJ Eddie Cheeba
Record unbelievable, inconceivable
Cause the record was a tape off Jamaica Avenue
When in July of 1979 and I heard
The Fatback Band and King Tim the Third
My brother, sister introduced me to it
I said Chuck, you gotta just do this shit!
Chorus
Tah Phrum Duh Bush: Early 80's late fall too small to play ball
But I thought it was amazin how my brother used to blaze men
Twice his age he used to send the ball sailin
Servin' suckas up like a lollipop salesman
How the game worked I didn't understand fully
It was him, some other cat, and this dude Red the school bully
Suddenly this crew of dudes just walked up on the court
They got up in Red's face man I thought they would've fought
But instead of throwin punches, Yo they started throwin rhymes
Gigging on each other with insulting punchlines
I was amazed and surprised at the things that they said
Droppin rhymes on a dime from the top of the head
It hit me in the heart man it blew my world apart
Who would've thought the school bully would've conjured up my art
Ran to the crib I gotta learn to flip the script
Looked in the mirror said yo Tah you got to do this shit
And get...
Marcus J: Back in the day before I ever heard a sound
I knew through my father that I came from the ground
That was his love and I guess I always knew it
The purest act of love was he never tied me to it
See I was free before I understood what free was
I explored everything and found my own loves
Fell in love before I really knew what that was
With an underground sound through the radio buzz
It was something I never ever heard in my life
But it drew me something like a moth to the light
Didn’t make me popular didn’t make me cool
But I learned a lot what they didn’t teach in school
Most heard noise I heard poetry
And before you know it I guess the poet is me
Still many years from what an MC should be
It was hip-hop that grabbed a hold and molded me
Now legends are friends and friends became legends
We’re more like a family of musical obsession
I’ll never forget my life cause I’m livin it
Said to myself you got to do this shit …and get back
|

C-Doc: Yeah I gotta get a bit of that soul just to get me back
Where I need to be true indeed where my people at?
Like you plant a seed in it Now you can believe in it
Givin it the flavor baby It's the main ingredient
FUNK- that shit you Cannot fuck with
As soon as it hits You know we gone git
The spirit of the past to Collide with the future... Me
The Emcee-- Kill Skillz the producer
I to the M-P-O double S-E
Bulls on the run for the Funk bout to bless me
Sly and the family Bringin the insanity
PFunk takin us into another Galaxy
Out the Milky Way to a Place far away
The most important part of Hiphop DNA... Is the
FUNK
Marcus J: Killskillz on the beat with that
"Good ol funky music"
C-Doc on the rhyme with that
"Good ol funky music"
Marcus J on the hook with that
"Good ol funky music"
Got the Bulls runnin' thru with the
"Good ol funky music"

Chorus: If you’re feeling down… Get Up!
Falling down… Get up!
On the ground… Get up!
Feeling down… Get Up!
Falling down… Get up!
On the ground… Get up!
Impossebulls got your back let’s get up ya’ll
Marcus J: Gotta get up no excuses no more
Gotta get up off the dirt on the hard floor
Gotta be for everyone not just the hardcore
Gotta be a team have a dream without no war
Gotta get up cause you can't stay low
Gotta get up Marcus J says so
Gotta make amends for faults in the flow
Gotta make friends til the end out of old foes
Gotta get up yo and do it right now
Gotta get up I can’t tell you how
Gotta look up to see me in crowds
Gotta look above to find love in these dark clouds
Gotta get up the alarm clocks ringing
Gotta get up a new day it’s bringing
Gotta be sure for the fence you’re swinging
Gotta be sure it’s gotta get up that your singing
Chorus
CM aka Creative: Greet me when you see me
Positivity is so infectious, if you don’t believe me
When you feel things is bad, smile just a lil bit
Good days are on the horizon, take time to consider it
Don’t dwell on the mistakes that’s made
Like regrets, just let that fade
Life is like a show, time to take the stage
Let ‘em all know, they can’t hold you down, blows you trade
Cause you’re a fighter, survivalist
Don’t let it beat down your spirit, won’t you come and fly with us
Rise above all the all the manure that belongs in the sewers
And throw a peace sign to all those who foolish enough to try to run through us
Forget all that bull that you’re used to, time for a brand new attitude
Surround yourself with those who willing to show some gratitude
Know your worth, so when they try to do their worst
Show ‘em first how you get up
Chorus
C-Doc: If you feel down when we come around You gettin up
Got the sub woofer's bump in the sound so turn it up
DJ Spin the record around and mix it up
Underneath the sound of the underground we bring it up
Maybe if I was clownin around I'd mess it up
But you know we goin after the crown we make it rough
Even though we not world renown we goin tough
But we bringin this music to your town so pump it up
It's Impossebull you wanna know how well listen up
All that negative we do not allow we buildin up
And the sun shinin down thru the clouds will be enough
To turn that frown to upside down let's pick it up
All my brothers and sisters in the crowd we raise it up
Can't hear it we'll turn it up loud to blow it up
The music that'll make you get down will get you up
And everybody you can give me a pound- that's wassup!

Chorus: Now put your hands up if you lovin hip-hop
And put them back down when you want me to stop
Bet I never ever ever see a single hand drop
Cause this is hip-hop and it’s bigger than you
Marcus J: Ain’t nothing that I love more than this right here
Put on a beat grab a mic and whisper in your ear
That I love you cause you’re bigger than me
And honestly I’m afraid to think exactly where I might be
If I didn’t have those late nights writing in my room
If I didn’t have the bass of that 808 boom
If I didn’t have my radio play my favorite tune
If I didn’t get the love I gave back from you
But I got it back and then some this is where I came from
You can’t dis, I reminisce over you because it is fun
Put your hands up never put them down
Marcus J is center stage connecting with the crowd
Cause everybody got a little MC in them
And I can see you just like me we down from the beginning
So let me wrap my arms around this song because it's true
Hip-hop equals love and man it’s bigger than you
Chorus
CM aka Creative: I clutch this mic device with a calm that’s cold as ice, precise
Is how I spit these bars of life, and yall can sing along if you like
If my words speak to heart, this art done gave me a voice
When it comes to my talent Hip- Hop gave me a choice
Produce, write, spit nice, collab with like minded folks
All across the globe down to my brother who I found that wrote
Now we in the basement, we be scripting, dream chasing screaming DCOM
That Deadly Combination is what we on
So be gone if you aint supporting or trying to stand in our way
We just trying to preserve the culture that helped out our yesterdays
And now a days we need this, give people something to believe in
It’s a odd time so I’m just trying to make things even, got ‘em fiending
For that throw back, Golden Era, hold that but don’t hold back them pro raps
Over hot tracks, C-Doc provides that, time best know that
Gotta show that we hold our own now, with the verbs and the pronouns
It aint about a showdown, but build positivity to grow out
Chorus
Boooka: What's more defnin' then my rhymin, I'll wait
OK, break over like September, August just bein honest
This shit been in my veins like heroin
Take your choice this hero's in
I save the game like memory cards
Back in 2K, never forget the day when
Doc hit me, you be my shit
Gave me confidence
I think of you whenever I'm feelin like it's time to call it quits
But I never can like plastic bottles
So I can't give this up like Johnny Bravo
Fool me once, fool me twice I'll get it right
Mama I'mma get this, not tryin' to be the richest
Just tryin' to quit that defect and every other bidness
Commercial cause I'm in the chain
If I had two we'd be the same
I can't complain, most n---az my age would never see these thangs
Boooka bangs, what you heard? I'll clarify
He the hottest, man I try
If you ain't burnt, you probably lie, toastin' n---az
Like celebration day, your graduation day was over late
Life's around the corner now let's set this straight
I got managers managin bullshit
AR's like full clips, but jam like Jordan
My clan so focused
New love, n---a, you lose love n---a
Yo girl love n---a like game shows, this flavor of love
This real chance of love, this realler than chance
You call it a chance, I call it my turn
Like signal my stop, so get off my cock
No time for the judge, you up at the top
I'm stealin yo spot, don't hand me a thing
I'm already king...

C-Doc: What if the lyrics that I'm writin now are my last song?
What if the flavor of my chewin gum doesn't last long?
What if the time I spent thinkin about it doesn't amount to shit?
What if I had good looks, would I be rap's Brad Pitt?
What if Bush knocked the towers down although I know he didn't
Cause anyone who knows better knows that Cheney did it
What if I wrote a rhyme and spit it, but then would not admit it
Because the rhyme was so dope that you thought I went and bit it?
Oh shit! It's a conundrum, what if I called it done, son?
What if this was the last song, would you say you want some more
Music from the crew that tried to give you what you need
What if I slit my wrists on paper, would my lyrics fuckin bleed?
What if I told these rappers that they got it all wrong
All along, what if I tried to write the same song
That you hear on the radio? Would you think I'm slick?
What if I told you now that you'd be jockin my shit?
Mported Flows: What if jock itch could talk shit?
Toss quick, control the cockpit
Drop sick, toxics, known to be obnoxious
What if I was known for bein cautious?
What if my lost hits were suddenly found?
What if I hired a midget for rubbing me down?
What if my digits switched it to 4-1-2?
What if I could kick it with more lungs, too?
What if cigarettes stopped calmin me down?
What if mic skills were more commonly found?
What if music was original, beats all visual
What if I'm unique, one in a trillion individual?
What if residuals could pay for my songs?
What if I had time to just play with a dog?
I'm sayin, you're playin along to my rant
Shit if my uncle had tits, he'd be my aunt
Marcus J: Let’s rap about things rappers don’t rap about
Like are we alone in the universe….
What if rap didn’t rhyme not all of the time
And really only rhymed like every other line
What if rap backwards was average score in golf
What if golf backwards was a type of assault
What if ass salt was only used to season your ass
But your donkey had heart disease
Is sodium the tool used to kill your mule
Or a movie starring Angela Jolie
What if movies never moved me even if they were black
With apologies to Chuck D the industry is wack
Except for The H-double-U-I-C
I didn’t get paid so that promo was free
One more what if question then I cuss…
What if god was one of us?... God damn it….

Marcus J: Never one to block the sun when it shines
These rhymes rise in the eyes of the blind
These rays beam from the sky to the ground
But these days ain’t many rays to be found
Older now, give less than a fuck
Still hot as hell feelin down on my luck
Sum - mer num - ber thirty seven
Came and went like my idea of heaven
But wait there’s still some heaven goin’ on
August is hell, September the dawn
Sun gives life but we pray for night
Can’t beat heat in the height of the light
Liquid pours down like life from the dead
Wipe the sweat from my red forehead
As the summer light starts to fade
I’m out, Marcus J in the shade
CM aka Creative: Hope the invite to the BBQ got Creative on it
Sunshine bless the skin, without rain warnings
Shorties looking love, Short Shorts showing off assets
Long hair and tan lines, looking super-hot to death
I always stay composed yo, keep it on the low low
Then hit ‘em a CD like it’s all about the promo
Create some small talk to see what you’re all about
Drop a card off with my info then I say peace and I’m out
The real question is who’s chef and what you’re blessing
Gonna be one of the first to be taste testing, no question
If it’s good, then I’ll definitely be coming back for some seconds
Catch my breath then hopefully spit a quick cypher session
We can play a little b-ball or toss the pigskin
Once I work off what I ate, time for round three, let’s dig in
Joke with the fellas, this weather gives chics a good reason
To show it all but I’m ready for hoodie season
C-Doc: You know I feel alright
As I stand here gazing into the fading sun light
Feel the heat from the street way into late night as it's
Time to move on but wait, I just might
Savor the moment take it slow for a minute
Remembering back to all the times that I didn't
Remembering past mistakes, yeah now I get it
Grab the mic, run the beat and hit it
Admittedly it's something coming from deep down
The sun rays beat down, gotta find a way to beat the heat now
91 degrees, 92, 93
Ice cubes fallin' down into a glass of iced tea
Ice Cube had a good day back in '93
Despite me being on the other coast it might be
Cause for celebratory excess who needs bed rest?
Just let your girl use your shoulder as a headrest
And watch the sun dip below the horizontal
Hydrating with a sip from the cold water bottle- I've been
Through so many can't remember them all
And even if they were hell I still was havin' a ball
If I'm standin' in hell then I've got to stand tall
To measure a man he's gotta give you his all, so I'mma
Bring it all back, total recall sayin'
Good night to summer as we slip into fall...

September (Marcus J)
00:44
|

Marcus J: I know too many people, care for my people
Lie, cheat and steal, bet I kill for my people
Guessing it’s these times that mold and shape my rhymes
And birth a permanent pessimistic state of mind
Sometimes I’m a bad friend, spread myself too thin
Giving to the needy keeps the needy coming back again
I tend to ignore those that do not need my help
Even me cause honestly I rarely help myself
See I know me like you may know yourself
But who am I if I’m not helping someone else
Not bragging the opposite I’m needing understood
Sometimes I do bad but it’s for the greater good
Like Robin Hood I’m rob’in just to give it away
So when I see my people you know I'm quick to say
What's understood really don’t need to be heard
I love you… without saying a word
|
||||
12. |
||||
Marcus J: To Erykah and Jean and all my loves in between
I apologize cause that ain’t really what I mean
I mean hip-hop… you the love of my life
But the word loses meaning when you lose a life
It’s sad it takes death to teach love to some
I’m ashamed to admit now that I was one
But please can’t you see that I understand now
You can stop taking people that I care about
I’ma be selective when the word comes out
And save it for those this song is truly about
I’ma bite my tongue before the word comes out
And save it for those this song is truly about
Those’ll be the sad ones when I’m gone
And one day they’ll push play and hear this song
And I’ma tell my loves to me just what they mean
Instead of wasting love on Erykah and Jean
C-Doc: It's like-
Everybody wants what they cannot get, and now
Everybody talks like they full of spit- and with a
Finger on the trigger playin Russian roulette- with an
Automatic with a full clip, bullshit- Yo...
...Told those two chicks it doesn't really matter cause we
Couldn't hear em talkin over all of the laughter- and
If they try to tell me that I'm just a silly cracker- Imma
Tell em I'm an actor- wait, I mean a rapper- wait
I mean I am but that's not even the point- in this
25th Hour like the Spike Lee joint- I'mma
Do the Right Thing or I'm bound to disappoint- all the
People come to see me with the mics I anoint- I mean
Bless... And not a breath goes to waste- when I
Open up the magazine I'm lookin at their face- there were
Erykah & Jean pics all over the place- now
Replaced by my people who cannot be replaced...
|

13. |

Marcus J: Allow me to paint this picture with words
The most beautiful thing your eyes have ever heard
The most beautiful thing your ears have ever seen
Marcus J will turn this mic into a time machine
And go back get it back give it to you
Communicate with the past like it was brand new
Write rhymes with pictures in blood on cave walls
Tell stories in Sumerian as Babylon falls
10,000 BC Pictogram Hieroglyphics
The alphabet catches and I drop scientific
From Egypt to Sesame Street we all agree
Brought to you by the letters M & C
Morris code over telegraph you forgot
I’m a def dash dash dash dot dash dot
Ring goes the telephone can you hear me now
No you got your television turned up too loud
Life by the light of LCD screens
But I don’t need a CD know what I mean
Sekreto: Sabes que el que tiene el micro va dirigiendo la orquesta
Es el maestro y es a quien se le respeta
Si alza la mano es en señal de darle apoyo y al frente la gente reacciona con el buen rollo
Yo! No me voy a privar de sentir lo que se siente al momento de disparar
Como trazo en spray queriendo decirte algo
se reconoce como de un vago a otro vago
Indho: 1, 1-2, 1-2-3 y más
Somos los que estamos enganchados esto es global
Con el Hip con el Hop y el cliché del Don´t Stop
En el aire van las manos, de victoria es la señal
Crecemos llevando el mensaje de casa en casa como carteros
Toda la ciudad esta enterada
Que está pesada la armada con la que contagiamos
Estilo universal todos bienvenidos somos
Simplee: Somos guerreros con el don de la palabra
Surgimos de la tierra hace años como lava
Quemamos venimos del desierto llevamos la cultura a todos lados a conocidos y extraños
Somos legado nuestros antepasados, dejaron
Sabiduría en nuestras manos
El código de barrio luchar por lo que amamos
Hoy el mensaje emitido fue escuchado de NY GPD se une al llamado
Cheka!! desde los 90's México alerta
Jamod Allah: There's a reason for silence, I'm killing all the noise,
Walk fast - Keep My Poise, Matter Of Fact,
Walk slow - Cause I'm the Master Of the Shadow,
Control them with this ancient language, you will never know,
Lyric-Savant, Autistic, Call me a misfit,
Cause I refuse to fight you for half a biscuit,
You crumb snatchin', Rats lost in a maze,
So you just gave up, You're taking no action,
I'm back on point, take a pull off my joint,
Then it's pen to paper, the lyric creator,
but I'm retired - I would keep quiet,
If it wasn't for C-Doc, I wouldn't even write it,
Cause I don't need attention, don't want to dwell in,
The memories of days when Hip-Hop had me yellin',
Cause nowadays you gotta be a tatted up felon,
Twerkin' in a trap-house, with a gun, drug sellin',
That's why Hip-Hop's played yo, and I don't rap,
And yes, Jamod Allah said it, you can snitch on that,
Try to take it, put your fingerprints on that,
And then be mad and pissed when I take that back--
Breaker Breaker.

Son of Bazerk: What up Doc? I'mma make it sizzle and pop
Until the coffin drop
Don't trip it's just how hot it can get
Check the mic and see if I got pull now it's
Son of Bazerk runnin' with the Impossebulls
Marcus J: This is free spit ain’t no charge for it
Put your money away real MCs they don’t want it
Can money buy you love or the air that you breathe?
Truth is I never wanted more than I need
Cause that’s greed one of 7 deadly sins
And once you begin sin is hard to end
So never start never ever lose your heart
Cause the best part gotta be the musical art
Back in ’85 no fear to bless the mic
No dollar signs dreams man I did what I like
Now in 20-10 ain’t a damn thing changed
Gotta a little fame honestly it feels strange
Still put my soul in the heart of each line
Cause someone is hearing me rhyme for the first time
So Doc these 16 are free like all music
I attached the acapella, feel free to use it
Half Pint: I do it for the people, do it for the youth
Do it for the culture, do it for the truth
Do it for the love, comes naturally
Got my own shit could afford to spit for free
Almighty Jahwell: You're big and your badder Your pockets are fatter
These bitches takin' pictures with n---az that don't matter
Posin' like I'm posin' like a fake and a fraud
Cats wearin' skirts like reality broads
Hustle baby hustle, give it to Daddy muscle
For the sake of illin' I'm chillin- they call me Russel
I'm addicted to rhyme, here to fuck with your mind
Call me gutter when I stutter I'mma beast wit mine
C-Doc: When I first got the mic to be an emcee
There was never any doubt that I'd spit for free
Cause money wasn't any motivation to me
And Hiphop to me is like family
Would I like to get paid from the rhymes I recite... At the
Show that we rockin in the club all night... With the
People that be jumpin to the beats- gettin hype... And the
Stage with the worn out mics? damn right
But Imma keep writin if I'm paid or not
Sometimes it's this Hiphop is all that I've got- and
Sometimes I need a mic and a beat to drop- like I'm
Goin round the world to collect my props- I won't
Stop cause you know that ain't the dude that I am- the
One man band, here to take a radical stand- and if you
Diggin what you hear then support the fam- but we
Always gonna spit cause we Hiphop fans...

Marcus J: I’ve been thinking and that can be a dangerous thing
But I’m thinking who really listens when I sing?
And when I sing what it mean all these metaphors
Do I open windows and unlock doors?
Is anyone getting out what I’m putting in?
Understand the start comprehend the end
These sprinter boys be runnin off at the mouth
And that ain’t what this marathon man is about
I wanna portray much more than word play
I separate from the so called rappers of today
I separate myself not to just be unique
But I am cause there gotta be purpose when I speak
Anything else is just a waste of breath
And who knows how much breath I got left
So maybe I shouldn’t waste words of the deaf
And inhale and hold the breath I got left
Chorus (Belle McNulty): Leave aside the ego and the pride
Waken your own soul into a life
Let your message come from the worthy truth
Inspire yourself and the growing youth
Let the words you speak be meaningful
Make them chase the right goal
You are free to express your reality
Choose your words with dignity
Choose your words with dignity
Jamod Allah: In the middle of the Jungle, In the middle of the Night,
And I just lost my f-ckin flashlight.
Can't see the stars, Can't see the Moonlight,
But what I do see, is this can't end right,
I hold my breath
Depression coupled with Stress,
I cope trying deal with the Hopelessness,
The world today - so silly and unfounded,
Stay yourself, I know it's hard to keep grounded,
Running the race, wind on my face,
But no matter how fast, seems, I'm still in last place,
Friends on your wings when you're flying around,
But when your down, you're lonely on the ground,
With the breath I got left, I won't play,
And if you don't believe me ask Marcus J.,
I bob and sway, and punch away,
but when death punched me in my chest----
I lost my breath.
CM aka Creative: Inhale then exhale
Now listen as I recite rhymes my pen spilled
Mastered breathe control, been heard across the globe
So I craft together bars, watch how this page unfolds
With my life’s lessons, all my curses and blessings
Relate it to the people so they can hear my message
Never been a preacher, just speaking like I’m a teacher
Showing yall the formula on how freak it on every guest feature
No lies need, just doing me
So you could spit one of my rhymes as my eulogy
And it’ll cover all bases of my life
And hopefully I inspired one through my sacrifice
To live the right way and say the right things
I take it day by day without going to the extremes
Living life in cool mode, handle my business and do my best
To represent Hip-Hop with the last breath I got left
Chorus
C-Doc: I put Words on the paper but its only the half
Get the mic hit record put em down on the track- and now I'm
Using up moments of my life and my time- So why
Would I even bother with some bullshit rhymes?- If I could
Count the amount of breath that I have left... Then I would
Have an idea of when I'm facing my death... But that's
Not exactly something that I'm trying to chase... But more a
Constant reminder that there is no time to waste
Hiphop has given me so much you see that
It's within me as a part of who I be and be-
Came an Emcee to express and entertain
I've let it get inside every nerve, every vein... Every
Way it can help me on my lifelong trek
So the least I can do is give it every respect...
And try to say something that is even worth saying... Cause the
Time we expire is the foe that we're facing...
Belle McNulty: Las palabras no deben ser secretos que no revelamos
Deben ser el aire que expiramos e inhalamos
Los mensajes que transmitimos
El camino que vivimos son
El distrito a través de los cuales nos unimos
Oh oh oh the breath I got left....

C-Doc: Gimme a mic and a reason and some would call it treason
But then it's maybe something that you're needin'
Or maybe that it's something to believe in
Or maybe that it's something you can use to pass the time along the seasons
Or maybe then it's something you can listen to and diss
Or maybe then it's something to get you pissed
Or get you to raise your fist
And pump it in the air at the crooked millionaires
When they send the pigs running up your stairs
Or maybe then it's something to compare to the overrated
Industry that's decaying down and far beyond repair
Leaving all my people in despair, but since I've been
Growing with this music then you know I've gotta care
And give a damn, or maybe try to understand
Why a helping hand isn't a part of the game plan
Blind man can't see it, a bind in a blind spot
Or maybe we forgot what we thought we were taught
Or maybe when they leave me to rot my mug shot
Will take the top spot as the HaveNots Mascot...
Def Chad: Here I go, here I go
It's the sound of my tribal chant
Born in America, strong Black man
But they want me back in Africa, but my roots ain't Africa
Hard label traffickin', now they call me Afro-America
Born to pay, where I lay
They smack me on the butt, gave me a social number
I woke up livin' in debt in the projects
But my mind I kept- I had a circle of
Strong Black men to help the masses
Get through the classes, CNN
The eye, they all lie, but somewhere down the line
We all got fucked, the hood gave up
Red Black and Green, know what I mean
"Brothers and Sisters!" We on the same team...
Villain151: You got the haves and the have nots,
Fast moneys all good still the cash stops,
Like 2 am at the bar this my last shot,
Got clamps on the game got it padlocked,
Listen this is my mission keep my people outta prison,
Political decisions keep the nation in division,
Part of the master plan executed with precision,
Realty TV keeps revolution in submission,
....Until we dream and strive for more,
We'll forever be suppressed and behind the door,
I heard the blind leads the blind well I'm trying to soar,
Still trying to find my way hope your finding yours,
Look my goal ain't to sign no deal,
I'll share my story with the world baby mine is real,
If I'm guilty of the truth won't try to appeal,
Let's put the pedal to the medal it's time to grind for real

When It Dies (Marcus J)
02:40
|

Marcus J: Good at what I do, I don’t do what I’m bad at
Bad attitude but nothing to be mad at
Except for everything all at the same time
I touch both the dead and the live with the same rhyme
The question becomes whatcha gonna do
Drop your defenses let me touch you
It’s not true I’ve never been in love before
Truthfully I’ve never been in love no more
Don’t keep score cause I don’t want to lose
But in the end it only depends on who you choose
And that’s a win, not an end, this is a start
Gonna take a friend to mend or fall apart
More than that, it’s more not less
Still starvin swallowin nothin but the stress
It’s a test and I know this better than you
You know this cause you know what I’ve been through
It’s true all of it, all except the lies
I’m right here, where will you be when it dies?
