"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams, come along"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Nothing Less, nothing less
|
|
[Grouch]
|
Well I bet you that I get the last laugh
|
Bet you that my funerals packed
|
And the tune you all blast is my crew's shit
|
New shit or old it don't matter
|
Bold I get swole in the zone where you gather
|
I'm alone but together with the folks
|
Not really knowing where I'm going
|
But my goal's to provoke thoughts
|
Devote lots, show some fools the ropes to hop
|
Scope the top from above it
|
Love it, then leave it alone
|
I believe that I'm grown showing the way
|
Owing the bay for going astray, now I'm blowing away
|
Like that bag in American Beauty
|
Truly blessed and nothing less
|
|
[MURS]
|
I'm nothing less than a criminal
|
With minimal convictions
|
Serving up my customers a hustler of the diction
|
Crushing my afflictions, I'm sick in the mind
|
Depends on how you ask
|
And I can do anything depending on the task
|
I tend to be on blast more often than not
|
Between a rock and a hard place
|
I soften my spot, talking a lot
|
That's if my CD's get played
|
But if that's not the case then I had nothing to say
|
My crew been tight since we was up in the bay
|
Been down for a while, now watch us
|
As we take it, up and away
|
Something to play when you're laying on back
|
Felt the love when I wrote this
|
So I know y'all feel what I'm saying on tracks
|
|
[Chorus] - repeat 3X
|
|
[Slug]
|
The first step was birth
|
Now forever cursed to analyze his self-worth
|
The second step was belief
|
He had to make that move before he even grew teeth
|
The third step, respect awareness
|
He could trip over the next step if he's careless
|
That next step, number four, was love
|
Can't touch it without stepping the other three above
|
As he froze for a moment
|
Ignoring the remaining ones
|
He was approaching, focus stolen
|
Looking down at his hands to see what he was holding
|
Nothing, empty
|
No choice but to keep going
|
The fifth step felt like a misstep
|
It was a re-evaluation of the first four
|
The anxiety, fear of what it hurts for
|
Caught in somewhere between the earths core
|
And the first floor
|
When he finally made it to step six
|
He could no longer see it for what it is
|
All of his views and family and life were askew
|
Number six had been twisted by the previous two
|
The last step, the seventh
|
Was the only thing left that kept him outside of heaven
|
One last breath and everything could be pleasant
|
Life through death, man's final lesson
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Sunspot Jonz]
|
Nothing less, god bless the days I rest
|
In this mess called life
|
Trying to be the best for the best dressed
|
Female, but she just brings hell
|
In the wishing well, I drown pieces of my soul
|
Born to rebel
|
I'm the black James Dean of the underground
|
Yelling at shows
|
Like rallys in Cali, I blow rhyme under the trees
|
Wanabees talk shit all day
|
But don't got a tape to play
|
Nothing genuine to say
|
So they bite the next man
|
Like they gonna make him the best man
|
In this crusade the future looks black
|
Like Taye Diggs' forehead
|
We can't go ahead and let the whack break our spirit
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Scarub]
|
I know my expectations are high
|
But I refuse to lay low
|
No compromises only improvising
|
From what I manifest in the mind
|
Even though they say no
|
I follow through if it's true
|
You know those type of serious questions
|
That are asked in a playful manner
|
So if assumptions are wrong
|
They can act like it's a joke?
|
"What do you do for a living?"
|
That's the words they spoke
|
When they first heard that I wrote to stay alive
|
While they work a 9 to 5
|
I work just as hard as you
|
But got a different focus
|
And while you focus on me I'm gonna be all that I am
|
honest SIAM, while others run at the mouth
|
With nothing to show
|
I'ma use what I know, manipulating my flow
|
From here to there
|
I origami the situation from what is considered
|
Unsuitable to something beautiful
|
The outcome is legendary, and nothing less
|
