Yeah This be them Lemon Pepper Poems I grew up off of Style Wars and Beat Street Supreme elite freezin' splittin' my mean streaks Wrong shoes on the right street get yo ass creased If you was one deep hope you had fast feet Animalistic jungle of concrete And if we didn't have instrumentals we boxed beats Before Youtube views and mp3s it was Ashland Avenue and an MPC I would hop the fence and smoke a B with Vitamin D He had the almighty flow and stayed across from P Every party that P went to P would bring a Desert E Every party that P went to P would bring a pound of weed I was sixteen living in a gangsta world Rollin swisher after swisher till I mastered my pearl Mastered my scripts raised by the gods of the piff Your favorite rapper found dead then I'm pleading the fifth Ay yo back against the wall and I'll still take em off the earth Learned that GQ green Line to 63rd I was staying in the garden with my neighbors from the third floor callin' bout the volume Fuck if it's a problem If you don't like the sound of my bass you can vacate I might rattle some 808s for 80 days straight I was young right then straight wild but strategical Dropped so many gems only jewelers could know the pinnacle You wanna know the ledge but can't comprehend a miracle 1UP almighty supreme imperial I might Rei at 71st and Jeffery at the barbershop We started making classics and we couldn't stop We laced our tracks at Jus crib in Humboldt Park Turning long nights in the ghetto to a work of art Just being me the humble but the ominous Climbing to the top but remembering where the bottom is Kickin' doors with islamic moors on the infamous east side prominent A slave can't exist where the knowledge is Fuck a foreclosed home we made our own And fuck a birth certificate my birth right is to hold my own Holy and home grown Lemon Pepper Poems Chicago versus the world yeah let it be known

Move Around 01:50
Ay yo Custom Made Yo Sense Yo You move around like the government brother I'm on some other shit Decals on the mothership one button to hover it Pan african mastering space time over vinyl versions of cult classical bass lines I've been the best ever since I was blessed with heavens intelligence My style black Madonna and child that's black excellence I always knew I'd scale the pyramids it was imminent The highest of the highest scientist all in the thick of it Masked up and vigilant burning Benjamins with no remnants With one bar better than ever dot of your penmanship I give a fuck about your founding fathers and there counterfeits I spit for fathers who had to come up on a lick just for a pot to piss You think it's bout the money ya'll don't know what profit is The second coming is summoned when I be talkin' ish I get it poppin' tupac'n until apocalypse Trust us it's just us ya'll don't know what justice is Put down your gun put down your badge so I can box a pig Run up on me the wrong way and I'm uh drop a pig You look at me and mines like societal menaces A wild child so they try to trial and sentence us Yo

There's a time to be cool and a time to be hot And see you got messed up into thinking there's only one time for everything There's a time for love and a time for hate Even solomon said that Seventy two virgins when Allah takes my soul Four sapphire lay humbly in the white gold In the mean time Nubian queen be my life line Gold crown bronze skin gleam in the night time Killa tape from the era of the tight rhyme Why your best rhyme sounds like the next jawn I'd rather listen to Prodigy or some Sean Price lines Cuz new niggas eat ass as a past time Shit stains on your tongue you can't be a friend of mine Don't reach out to me or ever try to shake a hand of mine Sense be the king of the jungle you a dandelion I really wrote my raps and ya'll pantomime I want to party have fun on occasion But I can't take my niggas no where they're not patient Grimy folks run on yo block for celebration And yellow tape it up like some holiday decorations You ain't lost a real one you don't know how it feel This the rapture flow last laugh and last kill And even ya'll rats is dead I'm a rap still Until every show is nothing short of a half mil Ugh Perfected the skill smack the god two times cuz the blessings is real Finessing to kill the essence is filled with diamond swisher These rappers is trash and I ain't rhyming with em Shout out to people who think I need em I won't leave you breathin' Fuck beef loose yo life from the seasoning The adventures of Vic Spencer Big Vic is about to come my way get rich quicker Sicker than an AIDS infected snicker Jack the ripper when it comes to my visits Most rappers is bums and business I take yo spine and twist it I got my own flavored liquorish it's delicious I'm posted like Dutchy at the tip Rodgers Park I had my spot two tone glocks on Fargo with the poley roasted I put the garlic on bread I put the green on vibrant papers I put the lime green on the haters Bitch

Diamond Cut 02:21
I move through these streets like blood moves through the veins They love the way it bang like Custom laced em with cain The game ain't never the same give em something to blame All you vamp niggas biting but I ain't feeling ya fangs Ignite em with flames that's the only reason I came No matter if it's off of the page or off of the brain I'm running laps on tracks to increase my stats Till my whole living room wall is platinum plaques Cuz I inhale ether and I spit out crack the oozie way a ton you gon' have to pick up the slack I'm moving forward now you gon' have to pardon my back And I ain't never played the lotto but I'm out for the scratch I'm self made self owned and self motivated I ain't ask to be here I was inaugurated I got the juice now it's heavily concentrated And if hip-hop's dead I'm the mothafucka who slayed it Like that ya'll I want the money the power the wealth the checks If I ain't leave with shit else I'm leaving with respect I want the money the power the wealth the checks If I ain't leave with shit else I'm leaving with respect Like Rakim and Lauryn Hill had a son I'm the one Rumpa pum pum spit that thunder clap kingdom come If they sitting on the throne I'm a make em run Stomp em out peel em off the heel like it's bubble gum Fuck where you at even more fuck where you from graduated 51st and King I'm an alumn Learned how to play chess in the basements of the slums Wanna bite my flow you better off if you bite your tongue I'm the purest form of this diamond cut culture I'm a lion you a vulture I will off ya I'm a execute you like a trife poacher The flow nice you wanna know the price like Bob Barker I sold a nickle bag to Sharkula after darkly in the parkula we was lookin' out for narculas If you don't understand that then I don't wanna talk to ya Cuz you was eating ass way before that shit was popular I want the money the power the wealth the checks If I ain't leave with shit else I'm leaving with respect I want the money the power the wealth the checks If I ain't leave with shit else I'm leaving with respect

Cry No More 02:43
TTo my moms I ain't gonna make you cry no more You raised a strong young man like Afeni Shakur Remember when the house flooded like seven times You never lost your cool even when I lost my mind When it was double the pain you would triple the grind I'm a pay it forward to you in a matter of time I'm a have the mortgage payed in full like a miracle You granted my life and I ain't just talking about umbilical You done so much for me mom just rest I'll take care of you If your knees ever give out then I'm a carry you At times I did't think I'd live this long but got is merciful I can't go out the way my uncles did god bless they soul Some never thought this music shit work I'm a let em know I thank you for the sacrifices you made just to let me grow I thank you for the sacrifice you made just to let me grow Mamma showed me how to win with the cards I was dealt She never gave up on me even when I gave up on self If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be a man from a boy If you cryin' mom you should cry tears of joy My mamma showed me how to win with the cards I was dealt She never gave up on me even when I gave up on self If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be a man from a boy If you cryin' mom you should cry tears of joy Remember when I walked home from Homan Square with no shoe laces Choked out in the street by the hands of racists You gave me a lawyer and I dodged them cases On my darkest of days you was still embracive Now I got distribution and licensing deals With this pen in my hand it's like a license to kill Im a buy house on the hill Where you can post with your grandchildren and chill Cuz growing up I ain't have to rob and kill I ain't ever missed a meal even when the shit got real You was always breaking bread Roof over my head keeping me fed Even when I didn't know the ledge From the first to the last steps you knew I'd take the high road Not easily sold even harder to fold Your legend forever embedded in this lesson that's told It took a momma like you to make a heart out of gold Mamma showed me how to win with the cards I was dealt She never gave up on me even when I gave up on self If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be a man from a boy If you cryin' mom you should cry tears of joy My mamma showed me how to win with the cards I was dealt She never gave up on me even when I gave up on self If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be a man from a boy If you cryin' mom you should cry tears of joy I Love you

In fact it costs more money to put someone in Rikers Island for a year Than it does to send them to Harvard for four years And so what's happened is that we've built an entire economy on incarceration and police terror Um which is entirely ineffective and and unproductive I mean you can build an equally powerful economy on education It's like there's blood on the flag but nobody could see it The reason why he sits down during the pledge of allegiance The knowledge that you thought they had they stole it from Egypt Pyramids of Sudan on the dollar that they kept a secret Who the all knowing all seeing most intelligent The pineal gland enhanced in the melanin The universe expands growth and development The maker of your science and your schools and your medicine Energy gets transfused it never really dies It's written on the burial ground lightning in the sky You bout to reap what you sow and pay what you owe To my ancestors who came here on the bottom of boats The same ancestors who died so that I can vote They be my sight so I can see clear through the mirrors and smoke But ya'll still rigged the system cuz this countries a joke It's all a corporation but they want us to be broke Cuz we small business one percent hold the whole interest In the land of the sick and the home of the prisons I've been building with my brothers now my armies a large fleet We came through to bust through the iron and concrete Rivers flow by energy Tsunami is energy Frequency is energy If we have the electricity now it's based on explosion energy Now the sound energy is based on a technology diffrent from the explosion energy And it's called implosion energy Listen What you getting' from it How's it hittin' homie how you benefiting from it The hood's still fucked up and niggas bags ain't no bigger I'm talking to more than half of ya'll niggas Black woman heart broke and ratchet There daddies wasn't home absent You think a ballad bandaid the gashes Most of the stress post traumatic The cracker attack of rap helped to make bro a savage Little niggas terrorizing the village Trying to see who the realest I'm here to sirloin sizzle the skillets Is niggas tough enough for family building All these black fatherless children you worried about a politician When you ain't pay for it or make your dollar circulate a day for it Claim you thug but won't spray for it But you'll clap me so what you gonna do Just vote or just hope or just pray Or just lay and watch basketball wives When niggas lost lives babies caught up in the crossfires You know last night news ah ha look the mayor got nice shoes nigga jokes on you We need to improve and pay attention to the game you lay claim to Another thing you'll catch in a lot of todays music is I am proud because I carry a gun and I'm not afraid to use it I will kill another black man I'll shoot him down or whatever What's interesting about that to me is that you can't find any other group of people in America That is so ready to celebrate it own genocide There's no other group to which messages are consistently marketed That convince them to be happy about the fact that they are murdering each other in the street I'm not gonna feed information or messages I'm not gonna market messages To the children of my community That are gonna lead them to prison or to a casket or to drug addiction Or to all these horrible thing that could happen when you buy into this lifestyle I'm going to be real with my people
