Lyrics

I got my game face on after the love is gone
Welcome back to bachelorhood
Try to find what went wrong
Standing strong on my two feet can you feel the beat
Walking through the creek lost in between the peaks
I speak upon my life and how i view it
How i view it is congruent got no time to be truant
Grew into a man with a plan on how to make it
Take advantage of things poppin up
Without procrastinatin waiting for it to come no way
Make it happen
Laughin at the people who tried to clown
Me about rappin whose ever laughin now
Stand up take a bow you can pick a vowel
Might as well throw in the towel
For precautionary reasons seasons changin
Rearrangin
The way my brain orchestrates without Strainin
Gaining a step you can bet i could care less about the rep
The game would be better if we didn't have a ref
You can get left to the right southpaw style
Phrantic is from the place where altitude's a mile
Gaining a step you can bet i could care less about the rep
The game would be better if we didn't have a ref
You can get left to the right southpaw style
Phrantic is from the place where altitude's a mile
Straight out the peaks i believe in myself
To get the job done without a gun but you know
I be the only one ain't nobody else gonna do it except me
Askin for help sometimes livin independently
On my own in a zone on a different kind of level
Walkin down the street behind three girls with rose petals
Never settle for less this i must confess
I only want the best things my body can caress
Invest my time and effort into something good
Grew my hair out so i could stop being labeled a hood
Could i grow up to be a superstar now could i grow up
To be the first man to walk on mars who knows
My journey's unknown travel the streets alone
Till i find the perfect matching x- chromosome
Untill then gotta give in to my inner sprit
Spittin my gift occasionally acting fearless
Nearest to the moons earth swerve to miss the curb
Twenty-two years ago moms game her first birth
Full of joy cause she produced a good looking boy
It really annoys me
My parents couldn't stay together
Two birds of the same feather finally grew apart
Lost loves in the dark it's time to make a fresh start
Gaining a step you can bet i could care less about the rep
The game would be better if we didn't have a ref
You can get left to the right southpaw style
Phrantic is from the place where altitude's a mile
Yeah welcome back brief interlude
Rocky mountain hiphop
Mountian time bout to blow up
Phrantic like that
Stepped out of my house took a breath of fresh air
Who really cares how you fared cause i wasn't there
Here we go I'm on top of denco its simple
Smooth grove is the tempo mental tough and creative
Slated um as the greatest spacious flows in rows like roses
There he is is that him he looks frozen
Holding back tears cheers it's a new year
Were all here steer clear with goodyear
How many people thought i could do this
Break it down maneuvers be evasive waste no time
Tell you what's on my mind in a heart beat
Without steppin on your feet no repeats or pauses
I ain't the largest but i will take out the garbage
Garnish the wack they running they yap
I'm running the map
You know i know excatly where it's at
Follow me I'm in charge like charles borrow
Your daughter she returns tomorrow
Welcome everybody everybody welcome to my city
Everybody welcome welcome everybody to my town
No doubt you know we gets down
Filler up to the top of the cup hardcore hiphop
Out of control like a runaway truck
It's a must to leave emcees in the dust
Shake off the rust warm up and get crushed
I'll hit you like a gust of wind competing to win
You wanna go for a swim sure if i can get some trim
Don't you ever think about the day we become extinct
Or how bout the day when the whole world sinks
Living my life spittin my mic the way i wanna
You wanna step attack like a piranha
Got no time for Primadonna's and there problems
With drama no commas
Take you out your game
Like shannon sharpe did derrick thomas
Blind like melon better yet blind like helen
Secrets I'm telling the beat I'm spelling
Who's aaron spelling
This ain't beverly hills 9-0-2-1-0
This be denver colorado 8-0-2-2-1- bro
So now you know can you believe that
Alot of consumers buy rap hiphop and reggae
Cause they know where the funks at it's on right here
Here fear's not an option rockin talkin
Check out the concoction a parody of nobody
In perfect harmony best new album phrantic live
Is the nominee swept the charts swept the stage
Mind in a daze futuristic art
I display got the crowd amazed do a dance
Take a stance my arm is strong like lance
Play the general like ulysses s grant whats a hook
Without a legitimate verse and why can't a hook be clean
Excerpting the curse man i'll tell you why
It's the lacking ability to try
All you life all you ate was a bowl full of lies
Welcome everybody everybody welcome to my city
Everybody welcome welcome everybody to my town
Everybody welcome welcome everybody to my city
Everybody welcome welcome everybody to my town
Yeah phrantic it's like that nine nine
give a little shout out to my homeboy surpass
To the mile high city denver colorado
Fifty two eighty feet it's like that
Everybody where you at where you at where you at
Fuck em
