Keep It Live

(album: Out Of Knowhere - 2003)

I'm the type to concave
Mic destroy save
Life enjoy blade
All up in your sector
Rewind select, infect your mind like that
Tunnel Rats up on the rise
Always keep your party live

I came to renovate that mental state
Man, never taint your standards of expectation
Bringing damage to the bars
Sixteen to be exact
In fact it's overly impacted
When tactics that crack backs
Like it practiced chiropractics
Drastic or gymnastic [?] warrior from SoCal
Hold now Afro-American dreads and shell toes
Hell knows we leaders but bide bodied with heaters?
Y'all cheat-sheeters don't try to meet us anywhere near halfway
Like [?] can't see what I'm living on
Spinning on way too many techniques to not be busy
Leaving the city dizzy with plenty title capers
Style-wise you're slipping, ripping raps on wax paper
(Come this far by not compromising)
The not-so-world-famous-at-all angles in
(Now you feel the temperature rising)
Don't try to hang with us, it's way too dangerous

I'm the type to concave
Mic destroy save
Life enjoy blade
All up in your sector
Rewind select, infect your mind like that
Tunnel Rats up on the rise
Always keep your party live

My heart [?] hemoglobin hover high over city life
Vein tapped to numb the pain
Rap under city light
A blood transfusion from the cross to the populace
Stay away, you won't find a way to be stopping us
We looted to prove it was true we rooted in confusion
Losing an understanding of real or illusion
But my mind a fuse in a balance it came to grips with
My life's a gift, not for me but for the music
While other men are struggling to keep that pattern up
Saddle up, life get rough if you assuming that you free
Watch close or you'll miss an ethnicity
I check other rhymes
Paint with the wind's every color, young brother
(Come this far by not compromising)
From the hood to the east coast to the IE and
(Now you feel the temperature rising)
When all of my brethren stand with me

I'm the type to concave
Mic destroy save
Life enjoy blade
All up in your sector
Rewind select, infect your mind like that
Tunnel Rats up on the rise
Always keep your party live

Most hopelessly hoping they homemade hits the next coast
Focus on been the elect king of king take control
Arrive all the way, live [?] among the greatest
When no other way to say it, I'll have to paint it
While you're complaining, I'll start explaining
How an emcee can be bound to live in free love we
Even when we don't really agree
An absolute antithesis, an aggravated Argonaut
Actually an astronaut my master not embrace yet
Where sin abounds, there's grace and I proclaim whether you laugh or not
And slandering cease when megacrews make moves
And Elohim increase in the eyes of fools
(Come this far by not compromising)
A cannonball in this wrecking crew, man
(Now you feel the temperature rising)
Silly you, quit playing it cool

I'm the type to concave
Mic destroy save
Life enjoy blade
All up in your sector
Rewind select, infect your mind like that
Tunnel Rats up on the rise
Always keep your party live
