Lyrics

Verse 1 (Gruf)
Watch me while I levitate
After eating bread we break
Cause every time I rhyme I'm climbing higher in my mental state
But when I take a federate
Stand and plan to generate
Music through my mind I tend to make myself and isolate
Introvert who wants to make
Music more creative when debating grounds of latest sound
That fluctuate the sub terrain
Styles so I don't suffocate, my crew don't wanna suffocate
I'd rather stay the underrated rapper, less distractions
Makin' fools out of artistic jewels whose lips can't match their actions
So disconnect contraptions which infect your brain function
When Pip Skid stuns 'em, watch how many stay humble
When John Smith stumps 'em, watch how many take the tumble
So stumblin', the mainstream is just too pumped to gain a thing
Injectin' anabolics in bodies too big to run in
It's typical, just ask Ash emotion why it's crumbling
On a sketchy foundation, so it's time for reproduction
Hook:
It's Tooth and Nail, crutch and whip
Busted lip, then pick an ax with rusted blade from right to fist
Abrasive hits that crushes wit and makes you sick
You can't behave, so flush the shit
It's Tooth and Nail, crutch and whip
Busted lip, then pick an ax with rusted blade from right to fist
Abrasive hits that crushes wit and makes you sick
You can't behave, so flush the shit
Verse 2 (John Smith)
We hit the street like shall we to spark a joint, share a story
Piss in the alley to mark our territory
Us homies carry out the ceremonial ritual
For the phonies who come to town and snatch a fist-full
A bucks from the locals think Winnipeggers are ducks
In your town you suck
What did you think that you wouldn't hear?
What the fuck? You think that hip hop wasn't good in here?
Sellin' twenty dollar dubs that people shouldn't hear
We couldn't cheer 'cause your set was tepid
Cold and unreceptive 'cause we love all those women you disrespected
Righteous rapper claims to live in a state of grace
Tryin' to save face after a close scrape with a date rape case
And another from out west who played himself
Tryin' to parlay Canadian fame into an easy lay
A sleazy play that only resulted in confusion
Offered her a whip, but she wasn't feeling the slang that he was using
We’ve got our own Patois in which the fatois will be issued
Misuse your visitor's pass, I'm bound to diss you
It'll be Winnipeg handshakes all around
For clowns that think that they're the only hip hop in town
Verse 3 (Pip Skid)
So far from a sucker that I float on the surface
I'm relaxed, catchin' some sun still making you nervous
From this 180 scray, rockin' illegal blades
Takin' Fireball slapshots with that aim at blond braids
And music fades, and the draperies are drawn
You get up to go for your car, but your keys are gone
Combing fingers through the lawn, but your wallet? It's been patented
Trademark Pippy and tap shoes like rat and tattin'
Tick tick, tiggity, no diggity
White rappers with a dad in the Kl Klux surrounded in bigotry
This is a confusing place to reside, so open wide
Blackmailing Dennis to steal more wisdom teeth on a bribe
Subscribe to the Source? Are you outta your mind?
Only if it comes anonymously covered with a broken spine
In style on the cover in Swank shorts and black socks
In a huge story of Gil Scott giving up the crack rocks
I'll let you crash on my couch, feed you a meal and hide your pipe
Read you stories at night, and never smile like twin hype
I'm the type to put Gruf the Druid up in my top three
Right in between John Smith and Kool Mo Dee
We want what? The duckets
Hey yo I think it's our turn
Why you think K9 posse is a security firm?
You get stomped, left, left, right, left
And that shit is on the strength, Pip Skid is stupid fresh
Hook:
It's Tooth and Nail, crutch and whip
Busted lip, then pick an ax with rusted blade from right to fist
Abrasive hits that crushes wit and makes you sick
You can't behave, so flush the shit
It's Tooth and Nail, crutch and whip
Busted lip, then pick an ax with rusted blade from right to fist
Abrasive hits that crushes wit and makes you sick
You can't behave, so flush the shit
