Here I Am (intro)
02:29
|
|||
here I am, here I stand
I put in work but I'm not playing out some million dollar plan
I'm just trying to make some music, while I stick it to the man
take a second, see me cooking every record in the pan
Glad
I put every ounce of heart and soul in this that I could muster
put the meat between the bread but I could never cut the mustard
too all the people looking down at me like I wont make it
my songs a dick and you're the bitch that's gonna take it
that's me man and that's never gonna change
you're gonna need a sharp blade to get it outta my veins
you're gonna need good aim to get it outta my brain
what am i saying, this is down pour
you cant compete with heavy rain!
I'm on a roll
trying to compete could take a toll on your body and mind
i got nobody mind when they're asking me who could body my rhymes
nobody, I tell em fuck!
This is not a good time
Some of us are lost out here with the fear
we might never find a way back
dreaming of careers, where the pay at?
do it cause we love it, something pleasing to the ears
you don't care?
fucker you don't gotta say that
No telling where this CD's gonna take my name
it could moves across Canada, graffiti on a train
and I'm tired of these lames, trying throw me off track
I'm gonna lace up the runners and I'll run it right back
anybody trying to tell me I ain't fit for this shit
better have a good reason, or your shit gets flipped
see what I did there?
see what I do with these rhyme schemes?
In my dreams, in my sleep, hit you with the high beams
so I know you see the light, so I know you know what I mean
I'd love to have a chat with Jimmy Iovine
until the day I get signed, I'm writing lines that rhyme
if you don't like it, you can step to the side
here I am

Where am I?
I'm trapped inside
I make a point to get out there reminiscing on my life
well there's no point, cause he's taking over
taking over
I gotta be honest, I never thought it would be this easy
to shove him so deep into his mind
put him to sleep, put down his weapon and brought out mine
I never though it would be this easy the first time
it's like the first time he sang
he needed a name, I gave it to him
than he asked for help on stage, I gave it to him
than he asked if I could help him get paid
said I'd get it for him some day
so long as I gain control of the game
call em mind games
he's probably thinking, he's hallucinating, wishing he had a say
but I do this shit my way
Swing Adam laughin' at Dustin Davie
wondering what happened, the day he made me
slowly take control of his brain
every song sorta sounded the same
until I showed up, taught this little bitch how to play
no more nothing, your gonna be something just say it
tell the world what you intend to do, don't make me make you say it
cause than it wont be true, follow through
Where am I?
I'm trapped inside
I make a point to get out there reminiscing on my life
well there's no point, cause he's taking over
taking over
Featuring Dustin Davie, the man who made me sick as scabies
this animal came along and made me sick with the rabies
craving this rap shit crazy
the thanks he gave me
like turkey, potatoes, stuffing and gravy
came from nothing and made it
grade it scale of 1 to 10
tell him he's not a ten, tell him he's all pretend
if you even look at him wrong
you'll be promising no reconnaissance
while he sends the bombers in
honestly turning whole teams into goners instead of honor students
He's always wanted to teach, but never got to do it
he never got to schooling
you put the dog on a leash and all you got was drooling
don't wanna walk, no movin, wont ever stop the tunage
its all we got we'll prove it, this track'll drop you'll lose it
enough of that rhyme, it's time, I'm gonna be on my grind
until I die, why try?
your clueless to the movement
keep your eyes iris's on this kid just being ruthless with this music
Where am I?
I'm trapped inside
I make a point to get out there reminiscing on my life
well there's no point, cause he's taking over
taking over
Hey Swing, appreciate what you're doing for me
writing rhymes and flows making moves for me
look at all my dreams man, they're coming true for me
when no one else I knew was ever coming through for me
well I'll admit I'm little bit scared of the outcome
you cant keep in touch with no one
you can tell me how come, everybody doubts him
so I out some, get rid of that negativity I don't got no problems
no, I don't house one
I don't know how son, look at me now, done
might as well be locked up in the trunk, drunk, lump sum
I was supposed to do it little bit by little bit
I'm getting sick of it, fuck this little bit by little bit shit
I'm feeling limitless
so I'll keep you around
but when this shit starts to go down
you better be ready, dressed to address the crowd
WHAT UP
say it loud so they can hear you
if you're represent my body and mind they better feel you
WHAT UP
Where am I?
I'm trapped inside
I make a point to get out there reminiscing on my life
well there's no point, cause he's taking over
taking over

Like a Molotov
04:12
|
|||
Look, I don't mean to be rude
you better watch your attitude
or I'm gonna change your altitude
elevate you, with a punch in two spots on your body
send you home battered and bruised
the color black and blue
left to right swinging at the dude
I'm toxic and I talk sick
learn your WHIMIS
I'm a rock stiff rock smith
you fucking sock sniff
Bruce Willis in Die Hard
got no bullets, catch some air, take a chopper down
do it with my car
I'm broken down, calling all star, but its not far
I'll just walk it off, I'm sick with a cough, phlegm up on the song
call the bomb squad, all I do is drop bombs
next thing you see is this city, and it's up in arms
and the cop car's sirens on the top are a lost cause
seems like I don't ever stop with these boss bars
I'm hungry, if you know me than you know that I will not starve
fore' I start this fire Like a Molotov
I'm in the process
of blowing up
LIke a Molotov
This dynamite's gonna hit you right
smack dab in the middle of the back at night
when you're alone and you're looking for a fight
get the head phones, put em on, pick a song
you feel a flame ignite
make sure that every hook you ever throw, is thrown tight
looking like a man on mission
cause there ain't nothing in-between this man and his vision
He could, he could
he could see clearly now
because the rain is gone and y'all can hear me now
but still a dark cloud hovers
I'm a predator hanging from the edge, call me Danny Glover
you could hate him or love him
either way at the end of the day, you probably still prey
not the hands together kind, naw the go getter kind
stick of dynamite, I'm here to blow your mind
tick tock, bombs bout to go off
just let me set the time
Get the fuse lit, hope you know how to use it
man I swear I'm blowing up in this music
I'm in the process
of blowing up
Like a Molotov
sticking to principals call me Seymour
I could blow the schools up and you fools up with this C4
Whats this fucker need to see for?
I put a mixtape underneath the see saw and blow his knees off
blowing up
detonate it when I show up
I stay sound, matter fact I am sound and I stay loud
demolition freaks love me and they stay proud of me
premonition geeks saw dooms day now sonny
skies the limit
I'm gonna hit it all night
and die with it like I made it my wife
fly with it like a bird in flight
there ain't no maybes and its all my might
don't really care about these Facebook likes
but these ladies get em, cause their face looks nice
but man I get em cause these tunes stay right
so when these tunes deploy, destroy your decoys
i don't need toys, just bombs
and man these bombs make a whole lotta noise

Bar Fight
04:01
|
|||
I was just, having a few drinks with some pals
and some sweet smelling gals
at the table, buying shots for the crowd
there was enough to go round
eventually I see the ceiling from the ground and I'm mumbling out loud
saying stupid shit to people I don't know
bouncers said I had to go, that I was ruining the show
being belligerent, I couldn't see the differences
between my friends and enemies
that JD is setting right in, put a shot in front of me I take it
I'm gonna puke half way to the bathroom, but I won't make it
so I puked on you, thinkin
What would a boss do with a bar stool
he'd wave it around your head, hopefully connect
and beat you till your dead
so I ran, but i tripped over my feet, than he caught me
normally Id be a fan of beats, the fucker tossed me
Than I snapped, hit him back
knocked him flat up on his ass, I feel adrenaline attack
in a bar fight
were in, were in a bar fight
were in, were in a bar fight
left hook
right hook
upper cut
jab
all it took was one look
than somebody got mad
Summer nights on the patio blazing
not a single fuck given and I'm feeling amazing
I feel like, I could fight anybody in this bar
no matter the height, yeah no matter how strong
so its on, just let me finish my beer
butt the smoke right here
and we'll go at it, hit him in between the eyes wreaking havoc
little do I know, I see the homie pro
he's a manic and a frantic man
try to imagine him managing to crack a bottle on your head
leave you bloody leave you dead
maybe cut ya gut instead
when its over, than you'll know you getting older is just fantasy
everybody's panicking
the bouncers try their best to get their hands on me to banish me
Ill go bananas see if I care, than ill split some lips
tip the bitch and leave em there
it's been a long night
we've been abusing our rights
we keep weaving and ducking
fighting over nothing in the bar fight
Bar fight
We in, We in the Bar Fight
you get, you get the
left hook
right hook
uppercut
jab
all it took is one look
and somebody gets mad
Waitress!!!
We need another round of shots
my cup is empty and I'm trying to spend my pay check!!!
you know you're, getting tipped
we've ordered so much juice, you couldn't stop to take a piss
now ready to tie the noose just doing your job
as I kick it I get lost in the alcohol
I've been a squawk box harrasin em, soon we'll be hasslin
actin all masculine
eaten all the nachos and, trying to be a macho man
no randy savage in this bitch, I'm an average little prick
on this anger tip, getting ticked off
H.A.M man I'm hazardous, I don't mean to dis
tisk tisk, you been annoying
bout to get the swift kick and I ain't toying
man I'm drunk, who would of thunk
I'd be the last one here, drinking every last beer
I'd fight myself in the mirror, cause I'm not thinking clear
Swing Adam with the dukes up
get ya crew and do something
Bar fight
We in, We in the Bar Fight
you get, you get the
left hook
right hook
uppercut
jab
all it took is one look
and somebody gets mad

Mood Swings
03:58

Hello world, how you feeling today?
my days been going great, I pissed some money away
bought a magazine that I'll probably never read
instead of buying healthy food, took myself to mickey dee's
put my head down, but I ain't trying to sleep
it's like I'm living in a nightmare or this nightmares living in me
and I might care if it wasn't for these beats
or this part time job keeping this hustle from the streets
yeah I been a fiend for the weed and the after toke smoke
all friendly, like Casper the ghost
I had it in me, stayed away from the coke
but some of my buddies bailed hard on the slopes
from Winnipeg, where they're fond of the snow
they make that money, snort it all up their nose
all together, stopped coming to my shows
just know, if you ever choose to go
I got tickets for ya
No matter where you are, where you're coming from
Ive been going through mood swings lately
No matter what you do, who you do it to
waiting for someone to save me
No matter where you're going, no slowing
Ive been haven these mood swings lately
Ive been down
Today I'm gonna break a record sleeping in
I'm gonna see if I can sleep from the morning to the evening
try to wake me up and I'll get mad
right now my minds cluttered no good times had
I've been dwelling on the past
how I'd come up short, and finish last
getting mad at my step dad
I left the house with a bottle of pills in my hand
all he did was laughed at me, looked like he was glad
best thing I could have done for myself
was move into my grandmothers house
I'll admit I needed help
I was lost, couldn't describe how I felt
pissed off is an understatement man, I wanted out
and my grandparents raised me, helped me
taught me bought bravery, prevented me from going to crazy
there's no amount of love I could show em
that could make it up to em
but I hope they know they really saved me
No matter who you are, where you come from
Ive been going through mood swings lately
No matter what you do, who you do it to
looking for something to save me
No matter where you're going, no slowing
I've been going through mood swings lately
I've been down
Yesterday I was dragging my feet
Today I'm gonna skip steps and dance to the beat
any emcee to cross me might have to retreat
I'll set fire to the stage with this hazardous heat
and when it rains it pours we cant ignore that
nor can we try to control the people treating em like door mats
grab the bull by the horns, ride that fucker through the barn door
turn it to a bus like you're on tour
fans buying CDs like they want more
so you give em encore, like its easy
but here's the thing about this man we call swing
you don't know him like I know em but you know him when he sings
that's enough to know him well, hell
singing's everything to him now pray to god his record sells
if it doesn't he'll be nothing to himself
through my life I carry two things
my music and my mood swings

Stomping Grounds
04:00
|
|||
I wanna hit up every venue in this city
eaten every itty bitty rapper on the menu
snacking, I might send you
packing, it depends who's rapping
if I happen to make this magic happen
you'll be clapping asking me to sign shit
while I'm on this rhyme tip
why is it, every time my mind slips
this hip hops behind it, keeping me reminded
I gotta give em goosebumps, some RL Stein shit
rewind it back
I might live in Transcona now but man
I moved 14 times around this town
that's 7 different schools that's seven different clicks full of fools
now I'm repping seven giants and we keep it cool
ground quakes when I stomp on it
get me on the intercom darn it
hear me loud and clear sonic sounds
as I rumble through the underground
from the bottom of the red
to the top of the golden boys head
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
I'm gonna do just what i said to the end
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
from the bottom of the red
to the top of the golden boys head
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
I'm gonna do just what I said
Winnipeg, how could you not be proud?!
you ask me if I do it for my city and I laugh
what you think I do it for? your foot up in my ass?
no respectable hip hop's put this city on the map
since Mood Ruff in 95' than The Lytics brought it back
props to those guys man, they do it big at every show
now I'm here to do the same learn my name if you don't know
Swing Adam climbing ranks, soon you'll see him at the top
and I'll be grinding at the rust till I ain't breathing and my body drops
cut the shit, I ain't here to be some entertaining half wit
this opening act is full blast bitch
so relax snitch, I'll tell a lazy rapper to his face
he's gotta practice more to keep up with this pace
I'm learning as I go, pulling weight through the snow
to my first show back in grade 8 coming late for school
cause this riff on my guitar had me feeling brand new
like I had nothing to do
so it's
from the bottom of the red
to the top of the golden boys head
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
I'm gonna do just what i said to the end
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
from the bottom of the red
to the top of the golden boys head
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
I'm gonna do just what I said
Winnipeg, how could you not be proud?!
When I said I moved 14 times I wasn't lying
this whole cities been my playground
where I been on this grind
it's a tough place to come up, nobody puts a thumb up
to the artists too reliant while they're trying on some dumb luck
it's just cause this cites got some haters
and these haters overwhelm em
their saying hip hop sucks but you tell em its a dream
than you kick back, write the next track
give this city something they ain't never seen
I love my city, don't get it twisted, I'm a Winnipegger
If you say otherwise, you probably get the middle finger
I'll piss on every hydrant on my block to let em know
write my name in the snow, dot the I's and go
when I get home, put the pen to the pad
write these rhymes with my city in mind until I crash
they're testing me I know it man, I really hope I pass
multiply, subtract, add Swing Adam
you can do the math
from the bottom of the red
to the top of the golden boys head
I put on for my Stompin Grounds
I'm gonna do just what i said to the end
I put on for my stomping grounds
from the bottom of the red
to the top of the golden boys head
I put on for my Stomping Grounds
I'm gonna do just what I said
Winnipeg, how could you not be proud?!

Without The Pay
04:01
|
|||
I bet you weren't expecting something chill from this ill kid
I felt like kicking something real for little bit
but this whole record it could kill with their realness
smooth like the burb shots vanhoof bought up in the village
can you feel it?
as my voice talks to you through the download when its finished
keep it on the down low, I'm sipping on that crown gold
cheating on that Jack Daniels bottle like "I'm down yo"
It's not easy when it's day in, sun rise, day out, done rhymes
pleasing of the ears, it's the reason why I'm hear
please believe me when its clear
I won't stop, I wont veer from the top spot
I wont disappear on ya
I felt me loosen sight of everything
so I switch genres and this hip hop it let me sing
pushed the vox (vocals) to new limits and the love it brings
folks I really live it, no jokes or funny business
its just me and my crew
doing what we do
don't give a fuck about what you say
cause' at the end of the day
musics here to stay
with or without the pay
Writing rhymes, it can really drain me
when it's all I think about and no body pays me
going no where with some thing that you care about can make you lazy
that's why I keep the moves coming and the tunes blazing
if I'm not doing something musically I'm going crazy
see me heavy pacing through the room, mind racing
and I hate it when my spot in lines taken
by some auto tuned robot faking
come on face it, shits messed up
there's some great artistic lines wasted
cause the radio wont let us be real
they're tasteless mofos, they steal drive
from theses people trying to keep this art alive
in the basement with no deal
We need some legends blowing dust up off the mic
make some new shit without the new shit and get it right
show these people what their missing
when they're out at night dissing underground
this is where it started, this is where it's living
its just me and my crew
doing what we do
don't give a fuck about what you say
cause' at the end of the day
musics here to stay
with or without the pay
diamonds, pearls, girls, money, fuck the world attitude
and these dudes get the chance, to hit up any latitude just to dance from Canada to France, Moscow they got the crowd up in a trance
there's one thing in that list that I could hope for
that's fans on the dance floor, screaming for the folklore of hip hop
where nobody wears a wrist watch, cause all we have is time
make em sweat let it drip drop and call it rhymes
set the clock, let it tick tock and call it mine
cause now it's my time to shine with these heavy lines
keep in mind I'm not a fool for the jewels
the tools that I use, to get the grooves
my muse is trying to prove my tunes will be the best
and that's news to these crews who cut the deck
when they threw money down to lose half of their checks
my moves will set examples for the rest
I'm up and Adam, they're still making their beds
its just me and my crew
doing what we do
don't give a fuck about what you say
cause' at the end of the day
musics here to stay
with or without the pay

Circle of Excellence
FS scraping for the dollars, but it don't make sense
I'm at the top of the COE, I got there honestly
you know me "no greed"
you don't buy? you think my talk is cheap?
it's gonna cost you if you walk, you leave
there's something wrong when you shot callers got no cheese
rulers of the district, Fuck em
rules of the misfits, Fuck em
should I go back to dish pit and not mean nothing?
work up to the top until I'm back to being something
make the story real touching
hey, thanks for the severance pay
I don't care about your sales or your "month to date"
hey, thanks for the severance pay
the paper work don't amount to paper, see you later
I woke up this morning to a text and a call
saying 10AM sharp, I gotta talk to y'all
I had a meeting one on one meeting with a suit and tie
the fucker took my job, and couldn't look me in the eye
said "we'll hand you a check, sorry for you loss"
I said I'm sorry for yours, you just tossed the best
I know it's all about the money for em
washing out 900 hundred uniforms
hustling boxes, now you wonder why you do it for em
They cheat they lie to us
Create illusions that you buy until they saying "Best Bye" to us
but before when we would make em money, they'd be dick riding us
playing on the pride of us, not explaining why to us
hey, thanks for the severance pay
I don't care about your sales or your "month to date"
hey, thanks for the severance pay

Good Morning every body!!!
Good Morning!!!

black shirt, khaki pants, name tag bossin
black belt, black shoes, head shaved often
Winnipeg weather got us frozen cold
worked Wednesday, next day they closed the store
met the homies at the timmies next door for a couple
to talk about the severance and the bullshit we shoveled
all along they were pushing us to hustle web sales
not knowing it would take our place in this hell
so we ripped the name tags from our necks
on to the next corporation to impress
your stocks are falling, it ain't worth it to invest
uppers trying to ball hard, y'all forgot about the lower deck checks
hey, thanks for the severance pay
I don't care about your sales or your "month to date"
hey, thanks for the severance pay
the paper work don't amount to paper, see you later

Prisoner
04:16
|
|||
when he's locked up in his mind he'll make a written work
he wont shut his eyes to blink until he's spit a verse
and made you think, go get a nurse
you're gonna need her when it hurts
he'll bring you one inch to your death
she'll bring you back to make it worse…
and when it's worse he'll make it worse
and when it's worse, you'll be a different person
cursing in your songs, worthless to the genre all along
it was his fault I started writing dark songs
started warmhearted, than this art form sharted and it caused scars
you know it caused bars so sick, it could've caused sars
that's just what the facts are
still haven't blinked
and I wont see a shrink, I'll do the opposite and grow
long as the hip hop in me flows
as long I'm putting on a show
as long as my ducks are in a row
with that status quo
with that added, whoa
if I have it lemme know
if I don't? than these demons gotta go!
Sooooo
I could be a freeman
all I need is treatment
to help me with these demons
I'm a prisoner in my own mind
he's insane, chained to the dungeon wall
and the dungeons in his mind, the one that's making all the calls
got a blood tally drawn, he drew it with his fingers
and the blood that he clawed, from his arms as he starved
that's what made him write Like a Molotov
a metaphor for how he'll blow like a bottled bomb
if you don't know him, than you probably never saw him on stage
spitting parts of his life from the page to the mic
here he comes you can hear him down the hall dragging shackles
he must of ripped em off the wall with his ankles
you know he's coming when you hear him cackle
HAHAHAHA
you should run and hide bitch, its probably you he's after
you can hear him breathe, real deep, sinister
try to sleep, bad dreams in a stir
he'll administer the dick, and he'll finish first
"Not fair", I don't really care, lay it on thick
and I've been here a minutes worth
SOOOOOO
I could be a freeman
all I need is treatment
to help me with these demons
I'm a prisoner in my own mind
Whats with all this freedom business
all this world is, is this mass group of misfits
no resistance to the gifted
taken over known every move we make
will bring us closer to boiling over
till we're mindless little drones to a governed world
They sit there in their chairs, not a problem not a care
watching us fuck up is music to their ears
and I'm tired of it
Its time we rise up above it
put the wrench between their gears
if they listening let em hear
tell em rappers have no fear and its clear we're a forced to be reckoned
will we rise? will we fall? is the question.
that's why were crazy all this time we're investing
so settle down, listen to their rhymes for a second
It's a group of mad men and bad vibes with a message
fuck curriculum the best, cause were comprised of the testing
it's like were climbing everest
mines driving endless, but in our minds
we define pretentious
still thinking
I could be a freeman
all I need is treatment
to help me with these demons
I'm a prisoner in my own mind

drowning in a pool of rhymes
saying bye, by the time i arrive
rap'll be dead and so will I
so don't even try
when im writting its like heaven on earth
but people tell him its the devils work
when im writting its like heaven on earth
but people tell him its the devils work
huh?
you wonder why I never stop
huh?
you wonder why you never hot
aha
you wonder what you never got
you could never get a grip
naw you were never taught
2:17 - 2:27
ADLIBS
2:27 - 2:46
CHORUS X2
when hip hops gone im grieving
baby ill be gone for the weekend
i don't care about the cost of the evening
we'll all be at a lost and we'll all be fiending…etc
winnipegs cold im freezing
2:46 - 3:28
you're driving but your not in my lane
your minds not in my frame
thats why you all ought learn my name
you're at a loss jaw drops when you see my gains
stuff his cheeks with rhyme sheets they could savour the flav
you think i got here without any practice?
without me spending hours a day id never have this
talent comes once in a lifetime i grabbed it
if it was locked up in a safe i must of cracked
and lemme guess…
y'all want the combination to this rap shit
passed zero twice four left two right
go fuck yourself
you think id be that nice?
take a gamble playin me dare you to roll those dice
until im dead and gone
on and on im comin with these songs (dropping them like bombs)
until im dead and gone
on and on im comin with these songs

Shoes to Fill

Id give my shoes to someone who cant walk or run
so they don't end up walkin towards a loaded talkin gun
id tell him. watch it son
you don't know a criminal until you've walked with one
until you've talked like some
these rap beats make imposta
makin good people monstas
you're scared to move but if you don't you'd think its gonna cost ya
and it probably will
maybe you should run a drill
test the water wipe it off ya
in with the towel when they toss ya
but did you know he's a soldier
and, as he gets older
the size of his sneakers will rise
and over time
he'll a new pair and walk a straight line
you clench your fists
you see your path
when im not there with you to help you understand
theres more to life here
than meets the eye
i hope these shoes of mine
will help you stride
You're gonna find that
most of the rhymes on this fine track
are irrelevant from the first and the last rap
it might be hard to follow at first
but thats the point whats worseis
the lyrics all make sense and Im a real person
vie tried to make the lyrics i spit
come off as witty
ever since, i was just a young prince
waiting for his throne
Im Still not there and lifes still not fair
at least ill never have to do it alone
have you been in my shoes before
if you haven't i suggest you stay in yours
cause one mile, in these old kicks
all the steps you'd miss
people you wondering where you came from
where you been
you clench your fists
you see your path
when im not there with you to help you understand
know, theres more to life here
than meets the eye
i hope these shoes of mine
will help you stride
Mr, Mr, did ya you put your name on the dotted line
sign a paper when prints too fine
did ya get ta set the bar to high
hit the ceilin fan jumping off the couch tryin to fly
why, you ask yourself
am I, two nickels too short for a dime
is it love that you're trying to buy
one rule of thumb that follow "everybody lies"
even when they love you
and they look you in the eye
one thing that you can trust though
when your questions, they don't seem find the answers yo
is that the clock keeps ticking
while you walkin on a mission
wear your souls in your souls
steppin on while you listen
to some good vibes
you're gonna get by
i can tell you
all that walkin,
all that talkin
if you do it to often it ain't good for your mind
