lyrics

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Gritty are the teeth of a man that chews
Through jazzy beats it's sad to see him damage blues
Musically illiterate, I understood a little bit
Now I make beats and rap and I don't play an instrument
Except the mic I rip it, record it then I mix it
Bring heat you can't contain with some flame retardant liquid
Ask around my town it's like a ghost appeared
They never woulda guessed that I live close to here
Cuz I rap with a passion, now they're just askin, if I'm doing shows
But I'm down to a Jackson, need to put gas in, my car and then I'll flow
Lay it down free of charge, tighter than some leotards
Paint a picture with the words I blurt cuz I got scenic bars
Watch the story of a young man unfold
Born and raised in SLO county, twenty one years old
Who appreciates the art but still raps stone cold
And takes a stand for the music till his backbones pulled

[Chorus]
Hip hop is in the house who wanna get a piece
Hop up on the mic, hold it tight and don't release
Unless your inner beast hungry, better let him feast
Better never be led by the scent of cheddar cheese

These rappers...
Always blinded by the truth
These rappers...
Never find em in a booth
These rappers...
Always picking up recruits
Think they're sick up in a group, but I'm stickin to my roots

[Verse 2]
I'mma get it in so I don't procrastinate
Sharp enough to cut through beats, believe I lacerate
You wanna see the future you don't need a magic 8
Ball to shake, you all are fake, exposed that is ya fate
So give my elbow room, you got the plague so keep ya distance
Made the beat, rapped and mixed it, I don't need assistance
Pack the track with so much flavor that it bleeds delicious
If you wanna bite it, try it, but I leave it vicious
So it might attack you back, leave you with regrets
Laced it with some battle rap, it's feedin off ya threats
Ya answer back was wack, in fact it's feeble at its best
I inject adrenaline like needles in ya chest
I keep emotions bottled up like energy within
Till I blow the booth up, messy with the pen
Smearin lyrics on the walls aggressively again
In a fit of rage, I fill the page, my recipe to win

[Chorus]
Hip hop is in the house who wanna get a piece
Hop up on the mic, hold it tight and don't release
Unless your inner beast hungry, better let him feast
Better never be led by the scent of cheddar cheese

These rappers...
Always blinded by the truth
These rappers...
Never find em in a booth
These rappers...
Always picking up recruits
Think they're sick up in a group, but I'm stickin to my roots
