Track Name: Speak and Listen - LP Mix
I've based my life round
creating my sound,
I blaze like live rounds,
I speak and people listen.
There's something to this talking,
you better match the walking
the truths a duty,
What if I speak and people listen?
Rich people listen & the poor people listen

I ain't no preacher, I aint no politician man,
I’m just a dude on this mic with some knowledge on his brain,
Im solid as a cane, but i aint got no staff,
My John Hancock aint worht shit, and even the ho's laugh.
I film my face cuz momma said for me to watch my mouth,
you got a problem with the truth? come on, lets walk it out,
lets work it out and walk it off,
I yaw my jaw and talk alot,
but that dont stop me from ever going to rock the spot,
with no facade and no elaborate plot,
to break me into a zombie,
I know exactly what im not.
theres nothing new about a man with a plan, a speech in his head
and a mic in his hand, yo saint, lets change this world,
for the good of the man, for the good of the people
these days its so easy to be so evil, i bleed on the easel
just so y'all can see my deepest ego,
the monkey see, the monkey do,
the monkey's dumb, the junkies glued
what the F*** is this art coming too?
I've based my life round
creating my sound,
I blaze like live rounds,
I speak and people listen.
There's something to this talking,
ou better match the walking
the truths a duty,
what if I speak and people listen?
Rich people listen & the poor people listen

I’m fed up, not gonna let up
on these cats who need to get their rep up,
trying to battle me cuz they wanna get the cred up
can't beat the kings man its something like a setup
why? cuz my new style keeps you futile
drop bombs like im nuke wild n do it with a huge smile
let me catch my breath for a while. (breath - breath)
top of the dogpile!
King of the Hill, wasnt born that way,
hit the park at dark back in the day
spark them rhymes when we spark them J's
hater kids would say "you're white mmmkay"
man, fuck you! mr. mackey
im a smash on you and your class of lackies
have you running like its a track meet
saints at the end I've been waiting since last week
rip fast on the back beat, clip tracks sip that use this for the last three
put that where the first hook be " that verse is sick" you knew it would be!
Scram speaks n the people listen, Saint rocks and the same have risen
seems that they share our vision, Speedyshoes with sick incisions
we 3 kings come bearing gifts, crushing zombies, slashing stiffs
you so-so rappers 'stacking chips' we swing for the fences cracking ribs
up on mics or by the bar, up on stage we the rising stars
up on haters who aint down so far I gave you 39 rhymes in 16 bars
