Tenfold

Yo, man

I don't even be knowing what be going on these days

You know, **** just want to hop in the car and get they cruise on, you know

Without taking a 101 course

End up smashing and crashing

Ain't dealing with justice, they've been a slave from birth

They don't even value rebellion, you know?

I can't even understand that shit, man

Fuck's going on these days, yo?

I deal with tenets of this culture

Militant, non-apologetic pillars of structure

Eat, sleep to rupture

Tenants of militant tenement buildings

Generals, foot soldiers who peddle metal artillery, chivalry

Parallel my zone to Monk or Mingus when I embrace

Facing a malice rugged as moon patrol

Graceful, violent imperial, break the status quo

Studio EKG, mic's ignite with volatile insight

Delight and disturb, corrupted children, Pits of pitch black enlighten

Lighting your spectrum clearly, crystal official CD

Vinyl be blazing freely

You leg buy in thus in lust

Tree of life, losing life, bruising mic's, living trife

Balance right, over the pitfalls, central force, mental force

Intercourse, no remorse, killing'em

Drilling'em, invisible entities peeling'em

Science applies to many things, fill helium

Fearing this, skills go back like step pyramids

Going up hills with anvils, never backslid

Struggling, juggling, jugular veins be flying

Burning your zone like sniffing lines of red cayenne

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion is Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion is Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion is Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Welcome

I've lost jobs, girlfriends, even some squabs

Like the time my white friend yelled GD in front of some slobs

We got clobbered

Why should I have to wear a collar to get dollars?

By the power of the almighty father

I walk in bothered, and ask my boss for extra hours

Would I be a coward If I jumped from the 30th floor of the tower?

You damn right

I've scoured streets on the quest for fresh beats

Made B-boys some of my best peeps

Word to Cess, rest in peace

'Cuz my **** may be elite, and I made my ****

Wait 'til after winter when we're partying on the river

Give a brother a little bit of freedom of mindstate

Fuck a rave, we'll be out on the lake jumping waves

I think of something real grave when I see one of those rappers

And leap from the rafter like a viscous raptor, and go for the capture

No need to wait until after the math is done

**** diss me, I heat up at the tip like a freshly blasted gun

Rolling with this cast is fun, 'cuz we in this flick together

So we stick together, unlike bitches who switch up with the weather

My way is better, I think logically

You're too emotional with your choreography

Get the fuck from in front of me

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils... Welcome

(Note: The following lyrics are only on the Remastered version of song*)

[Verse 3: Sept Sev Sev Two] **20th Anniversary Remastered**

Extractions, separate your fluid from the matter

What's the matter? release your beasts out to the pasture

Golden Aster, Egyptophilia, Symbolization

Death passed you far away and I ain't feeling ya

Seeping the gasses, filling glasses

With liquid soul capsules, actions, laced with craft

It's the pleasure, diversion, submerged in MC perversion

Caving in the urges and disturbances

Turkish blends, UPC encoded 2-for-1 explosions

Frozen lids, involuntary eyes open

Styrofoam in microphone, I never liked your tone of voice

When you address me, plus you don't impress me

Tell a friend, if Charlton Heston can play the mexican

I guess you can play the Darth Vader sayer, hater

I'll tell you what, here's a post it note

So you can go list all of your MC achievements in chronological order

You'll take a walk-walk, too many sparks fought

But all you really do is talk-talk, that's what i thought-thought

You ought not exaggerate the stamina

Face the camera so I can catch a before and an after

[Chorus: Sept Sev Sev Two] **20th Anniversary Remastered**

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils

Tell them, within the spectrum the passion's Tenfold

Welcome to where pride is broken like pencils...

Welcome to where pride is broken

[Outro: Sept Sev Sev Two] **20th Anniversary Remastered**

Yo, I think you're hungry because you're starving for flavor

Flavor most, put it on your toast

Eat it, and chew it, and swallow it down

And follow the sound, and swallow your pride
