Non-Stop

(album: Bardo State - 2017)

[Solo:]
Non-stop, it never cease
Yeah, the word on the street is we disturbing the peace
Yes indeed, so you can run and tell a friend
Who can tell a friend to tell a friend that you heard it from me that
Sure as the moon rise, after the sun set
Days of our lives, night of the living undead
Shit gets hectic, live from the cesspit
Somebody wiser than me once said
'Boy, don't you know this life is non-stop? '
All up and down the block they
Sniffing powder, popping pills, smoking rock
Breaking news, twenty-four-seven around the clock
Every time you turn the TV on it's someone getting shot
It's non-stop
Crooks cover their tracks and hide the proof
Suits quoting from books, but see, the truth is
That if there's a buck to be made
Believe that somebody be getting paid
Each and every day it's non-stop
Them boats stay coming 'cross the seas
And all we've got for 'em is boundless hypocrisy
People like you and me, keep 'em under lock and key
And so we gotta be the change that we wanna see
It's non-stop, ready for action we get it cracking
Any competition we send 'em packing
Follow me, 'cause it seems we need some new leaders
Control the house through the voice pumping out your speakers

[Chaos Emerald:]
In the concrete jungle metropolis
Rush hour all around and you gotta get out
Non-stop, it won't wait, no
Non-stop, it won't wait
Got you caught up in the crowd with the populous
Rush hour all around, so monotonous now
Non-stop, it won't wait, no
Non-stop, it won't wait

[Turquoise Prince:]
Uh, get it in ya
It's that L.T.C, get it in you

Non-stop, never sleep
It's a never-ending story, this novel is deep
Deep up in ya, long enough to reach next week
That's where I come from, and I'm not talking born and raised
I'm talking non-stop work each and every day
Learn each and every day's a school day until the weekend
Then we bender non-stop
All my jaw slingers, 'cause we're all winners, get it in ya
Put your money where your mouth is, my mouth is hanging for payday
Stomach's on the rumble for recognition and airplay
Put you back in your place and that's nowhere near where we stay
Caught a glimpse of my greatness and ended up cremated
So we rack up your ashes and gum what's left
Call up my D-D at 6am 'cause we rocking non-stop
Clean yourself up, dust yourself off, sort yourself out, sort your life out
Right now I got a couple choices
I got boys that sell bags to lawyers
While I'm at work getting nagged by my employers
But when I step in the building I destroy it
I'm always ready for action, we get it cracking
Any competition we send 'em packing
Because it's obvious we need some real leaders
Control the house through the voice pumping out your speakers

[Chaos Emerald:]
In the concrete jungle metropolis
Rush hour all around and you gotta get out
Non-stop, it won't wait, no
Non-stop, it won't wait
Got you caught up in the crowd with the populous
Rush hour all around, so monotonous now
Non-stop, it won't wait, no
Non-stop, it won't wait

[Solo & Chaos Emerald:]
La-da-day, la-da-da-da-day
Money change hands and night turn to day
Either get with it or just get out the way
'Cause it's non-stop, non-stop, non-stop
La-da-day, la-da-da-da-day
Money change hands and night turn to day
Either get with it or just get out the way
'Cause it's non-stop, non-stop, non-stop

[Omar Musa:]
Ayy, come take a ride with us cuzzy
Blur lines behind us we moving so fast
Zigzagging down an eight lane freeway in a sci-fi city
We made our own freak-o-system here
Money exchange hands at a rapid rate
Like glances between predator and prey
So which one are you?
