(Intro - Imani)
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I'd like to welcome all of you Into the secret sessions of the sacred talisman You are here with the three conductors of rhythm Yes, constructors of reality through musical composition Yes, relax and interface as we take you into the next phase (beat change) (Imani/Citizen Strange) Where ya at, where ya at? They keep asking where ya been We been preparing for two thousand and beyond, Pharcyde What's the gripe, clown, turn that hype down You had your chance but wasn't able to advance Now you're stuck in a trance All caught up in our rhythmic avalanches Biting our sound like sandwiches You fucked up your chances Due to certain circumstances that you could've controlled But had no real substance so under pressure you fold Freak the peak of this lick, ghetto chic over fresh beats Overexposed and cheats with verbal traction like cleats Trying to get skeets, huh Yup, they trying to get mine but I walk that fine line Cause fools carry heat like sunshine Damn! Pharcyde's popping, they hipping and they hopping And it ain't no stopping, repeated shots to they noggin Banging until they jaws is dropping, again (Chorus x2) When it seems there's no one to trust You can always count on Pharcyde to bust We readjust, combust from dawn to dusk Leave fly girlies with a crush, wack rappers on hush (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) Waiting around, it's like a hot day to burn it up With another hot plate, got your neighbours irate Volume way past 8, keep me booming in your system >From your residence to your auto, niggas envious Green like an avocado, no beef, only equals cattle Por favor, give you what you want and more At the record store, first letters ?h' as in phosphorous Learn to enrich my mind, working on being prosperous A fool with money is quick to part Some things start off sweet and end up tart I speak in the front like a (???) When you was expectant it the crew and I connected Keep it collective from first to last Is it banging is the question that they ask (Chorus) (Slimkid3) Impressed with the wrong impression About this rap shit, it's more than my profession It's heartfelt, this life dealt a deadly hand Life's lessons, hard times made a deadly man Out of the soft, stressing, I fall down to my knees For my blessings, push my wants aside for a minute Cause greed had me testing my own fate My own self-worth and how it goes to waste All these things that I'm supposed to face It gets scary on my planet sometimes My intuition in the back of my mind Tells me right from wrong Giving me strength to write this song I might not be here long So I take it serious and stop chasing a dream Cause it made me delirious All cats are curious entering wrong (Chorus x4) |

(Slimkid3)
Aiyo we got five minutes, man! Yo, yo Brown. Sup, man, we got five minutes Imani, let's go..Yo, Ro! Let's go.. (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) Devastating rhyme creating, innovating Got you anticipating the arrival of the Cyde Don't you worry, hold it down just like Burry (?) Well-seasoned like curry from India or Jamaica Bring yuh gal to de show mi posse may tek her Then cake her, how we're flipping thoughts skipping Ready for the sabotage while the entourage Take her somewhere remote, got her open like a cargo pod Our lyrics blend like camouflage You be wondering what's happened like Rog (Imani/Citizen Strange) Yeah, son zoom like the moon You and your whole cartoon platoon Gets eradicated, y'all barely made it Listen to the words of the man, now I'm hella faded Now I'm elevated, and now I'm here to state it Your entire empire is tired, y'all need to retire Like an old player cause your flavor is now expired! (Slimkid3) Come on, I rap wise and lyrically baptize, respect Resurrect em like they're holy, holding blessed communion Redesign laws of union in a revolution Connect the eyes to energize cause evil lurks in lies Steals your breath and then you die, no one heard you cry Now he's off to the next man's urging eye Our excursion eliminates those folks that's purging Like virgin we be conquering, reconstruct with surgery (Chorus x2) On tight beats we lurk, to drive you berserk Leaving suckers shook, what a skirt Companies perfected how to jerk Crews come together, put some love back in it Network, we network! (Black Thought) You tossed aside, talk/hustle is the way we survive Cover your ears, your clothes, your eyes then look alive The most high, draw swift out the holster Rude boy ragamuffin, roots and culture It gets deep, I scuba dive beneath the street Then rise through concrete with new and improved beats And kick emcees in they teeth with steel cleats Extreme like war and peace but none the least (Imani/Citizen Strange) We retract it, then the bullshit got subtracted Then you got attacked and attracted to this matter it's Like a magnet, truly expression through touring Two majestic rap bands exploring foreign lands With the mic in hand I cold took command You here to destroy, we here to build and plan Hella faded from the trees we bought, beware Cause you can get caught by the all-out Verbal assault, Pharcyde and Black Thought (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) Pharcyde make mad hits, see ya man through Some lab test, grab vest while I commence To execute with acute precision, cause collision Got caught up in the head bobbing, neck jerking And trying to get my polished shine networking Merging, converging to split your melon Have you screaming yelling, crew bail in The complete steez, young cats look up to us Like trapeze, they love the way we swing it It's the Roots inside guaranteed to bring it to these nits Got individuals expecting residuals for the mic (Chorus) (Black Thought) Yo, my network spit shit making your neck hurt You're now in tune to the sounds of the expert A hundred flave-ahs of this widespread chaos About to blow like the sextet of Miles Dave-ahs Thought from the Illafive on the Phar-cidic The blizzard isotona rap style, y'all can fit it The head farmer, crush/kill the bad karma Full body armor sounds, emcees can never hit it (Slimkid3) Venom when I spit it, backdraft when we lit it Blow like chemical contents, I exercise this convent Who done this cause we did this, booked and fingerprinted Unlimited turn, early bird catches the worm My penicillin heals, taking turns we trying to burn Rub me down like lubriderm, we the cure and you're the germ Embalm you with the fluid, make you do it like sherm Keep you up until the end of the term (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) Niggas green with envy like they had gamma treatment Find it hard to compete with, I'm on some steep shit Climbing, you're on it like Carlich Hymen (?) My skills I always polish it up till it's shining Like a brother with a brand new Lex Rhymes on it like sporting two tecs With laser lights make the red dot Bring it your face while you're blinking (Imani/Citizen Strange) White white hot, thermal Burn your shit down like a towering inferno Selecting and connecting them peckish grooves To make you move, move you all like you fall Verbal graffiti when we spray words on the mic like aerosol (Chorus x3) |

Uh, I know you,
You used to ride up high on your green steed Usually after they come down Fools come back around Sniffing out the weed In dire need of just some Simple conversation For some inspiration Well accustomed to being unwelcome Exclamation, no comma More drama from your common Or regrets that keeps coming back like Shadows at sunset Some sweat while we move They try to blackmail this black male With weak stories and frail ass tales Your worthless Ruthless, movements won't do it So don't do it Your envy is hungry like the wolf and duran duran And your plan is see through like seran Dried in the Sudan You need to come with a new plan Your loneliness was the cause of all of this behold It was no real reason for all that to be told Your brain is twitching, stop bitching Intertwining mine like stitchin' You and your uncontrollable, gullible, emotional conditions And misery (misery, misery, love) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you, with you And misery (misery, misery, love) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you, with you Claimin' to be a friend in need Troubles interwoven like tweed suits What's lower than soles on boots? A partner, you told to get his shit together Stayed in co-hoots Aggravated, agitated, misery he scoots Cumbersome, isolated, bad villains migrated Tryin' to take me down under Treat me like aborigines Knock to ground like tees at the matches Who realizes the turn disasters Got me thinking negative With things developing the bonk And brings a whole new pitch Changin' my frame of thought Caught by the misery you brought And always wanna bring Love to cling like static Start static You exist to create a panic, sorrow, ruin the mood Random craters destroy the good vibe Words can't describe, portray, But I'm not down with your forte of disarray You make my spirit decay Cause my focus to stray And misery (misery, misery love) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you, with you And misery (misery, misery love) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you, with you I ask myself this question: Is freedom what I really want? Soaking in a boola pain Dreaming what my love has been For life I recall being born again twice 'Cause every time I reach for what ain't real I fall on the knife and die Or drown in my tears around the reason why We ain't achieving it Instead of just believing in God almighty, not the almighty God Selling souls for bargain prices Always make me holler Smart enough to be a scholar Dumbfounded on the dollar, though One step for mankind Makes a million miles of trying for Once you live in luxury, a million things are dyin' A million voices lying Never add up to the truth Ninety-eight percent of that makes me want the other two To complete this love Wishin' to help my condition Every day, I'm wishin' And every way, I'm hopin' and wishin' And misery, (misery, misery ahh) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you with you And misery (misery, misery, love) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you And misery (misery, misery love) Why you wanna take me there? (company) With you, with you And misery (misery, misery love) Why you wanna take there? (company) With you, with you |

Rush, rush, rush, rush
(Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) What gets your adrenaline pumping? Overtaking Mental thought process move quickly to attain And acquire that state of being all desires seen Some get theirs nostril schemes Old men chasing nothing over nineteen The rush is good but not the right thing Too long or too fast, gotta spend lots of cash Break fast, brakes then mash, gotta make it on time (Imani/Citizen Strange) Rush, through my veins I can feel the blood gush Gushing, adrenaline rushing, increased heart beating Pulsating, no time for debating, no waiting, rush Like getting busted, butt-naked fucking Rushing to have sex, rushing death, that's suicide Pharcyde give you a rush like holding a gun on nitrous oxide Or like rolling up on me, man, looking right in my eyes How women feel when the tongue slides up and down her thigh Ever tried bungee jumping? I had a real surprise Try flying high in the skies then jumping out and parachuting The way a man feels prior to an execution, rush Eyes bulge, face flushed, scared of heights? Try being stuck in an elevator falling a thousand flights Look out for the, rush Everybody's in a, rush (Imani/Citizen Strange) Under pressure we hold it steady Nothing will be delivered before it's ready (Rush) If so? It's okay, later they'll pay Rushing to do nothing, rushing trapped in traffic Gridlocked, speeding up corners Stay stressed but they cannot rush Rushing to flush the rest of the evidence A pure rush like turbulence They wanna hurry me, they try to worry me But they can't hurry me unless it's an emergency And if it ain't, huh, then please stand by Imani needs to take time to plan mine But if I gotta do it on the fly I'll do it on the fly But why, why? Rush, rush, rush, rush.. (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) Smoking blunts, driving ninety racing on the Pasadena 110 First drop on the colossus, it settles in over shadows Engraved in the eyes when a real emcee battles With his opponent, I use it as one component Linked to the drive when the beat is dropped I wanted the force to move but rush turns your brain to mush Stimulation lush, with danger we brush Sometimes it's the only thing sustaining us It's the, rush Look out for the, rush Everybody's in a, rush Beware of the, rush |

(Slimkid3)
Yo..inhale, exhale Been a long time coming, still a long way to go Evolution of manhood Evolution, revolution (Slimkid3) Born with sight but became sightless Rehabilitated visions from being frightened In the dark, just bits of light when Lightning sparks, thunder rumbled Chasing courage from the heart Searching for solitude without a solitary card Knees bleeding but proceeding to pray to God Forever humble but before a man boys stumble Before there was peace vast lands had crumbled Apart - from the truth a great distance Met with many guides to provide assistance To shorten that distance with me and the Maker The mind was overthrown by the Undertaker The Devil's a faker, see he lied to me Singing sweet sad songs to mesmerise But my eyes have seen four dimensions Now gather your strength for all these bad intentions (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) That you seem to get when you get a little older Days a lot colder, used to cry upon my mama's shoulder Til pop finalised it, I analysed it, can fantasize With your manhood, make your plan good With the back up, unfortunately niggas act up Seems to be no solution, too many facing execution Then I know many ready to leave the revolution On their evolution to manhood, manhood (Chorus 2X: Diana Brooks) When a boy becomes a man Takes time to understand The ways of the world today (Chorus: Pharcyde) Step by step, day by day Don't let the negative vibes lead the 'Cyde astray We keep the positive vibes till everything is okay On the evolution to manhood, to manhood (Imani/Citizen Strange) We realised it then re-devised it then excercised it Got connected and we checked and it's correct That the soul extends far beyond this fleshy existence The rest is still trapped in ignorance, giving resistance From a distance, interference from far away But neither Tim nor Anfernee had a harder way On getting here, I'm spitting clear Connecting with the energies from near and far away Karma, karma come back like a riccochet To hit ya so I'm coming with the scripture For the fixture, get the picture? (Chorus) |

(Hispanic Woman)
What the world needs is true expression From the soul and the heart What the world needs is you and me What the world needs is the universe and love Please remain seated (Slimkid3) People walk with the eyes of a child And a smile so innocent and a heart so militant Brain's got an ill intent so be intense Some friends at the margin Making summer streams harden All these bulls shitting Trying to milk me by the carton But, uh, excuse me sir, I begs your pardon Can't you see how low the hole has gotten? Apple's completely rotten with the worm in it Dying, still we're relying on who? In this case I face the grace Of my unseen God Even the taste of what's seemingly odd Relieving what stress I manifested From the weight of the world on my chest Feeling restless, ready to hurt someone But a hurt that size never eased the eyes To no one, it's no fun Selfless shades of living Got to feel each day that's given (Chorus 2X: Slimkid3/Woman) Now what the world needs is a love That's sweeter than the melodies That makes you go around and round and round (Imani/Citizen Strange) In too many situations I'm finding more complications Than childirth but this my earth and I'm a Conscious creature of creation Here/hear with my imagination Living for my son, dying for my son Walking into the Sun, each one teach one And it's love that completes the mission And adds to everything that you thought was missing Listen, you got to keep your mind, body and soul in check In this land of no respect, where it's all about the cheque I'm looking for a better day Thinking that there's got to be a better way Ask Tre, when I'm challenged I use my talents to balance And to rise like helium Using love to find that happy medium Forget that hostility Cause with love there's always a possibility (Chorus) (Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction) Attempts at convincing me To downplay another man's form of expression That's not what I'm here to do I fear it too but the future is now And how can I make a song That makes the world sing songs of love And peace When everyday's a fight with hate and the beast On what seems like unfair grounds Everybody I know is loading up rounds For protection, well being and safety Which is capitalised Watching out for niggas fantasizing that they're Tupac With only two cents, way too tense Looking to prove and convince That they're big balling But their neighbours was calling Now they're hauling that ass out to Chino Got a girl with the bambino on the way Due like a library textbook Writing letters, praying to God That my son is not the next crook Sent out to join Poppa Wish life was like a soap opera With the happy ending But you know love is always recommending (Chorus) (Scott Wilson) Do we believe that we're civilized, sophisticated or advanced So quick to draw blood if given a chance We dance with the Devil and romance with his rage With a curse on our mind our prayers seem vague The plague that sweeps across the garden is fear Scared of our questions for the days that come near So we stand guard over our bag of fool's gold Never bowing our heads for the souls that we sold And it's cold for the heart that stays towards itself And only feels love for the abundance of wealth But you can't pay your way through the gates of paradise And you can't camouflage your grief from God's eyes But lucky for us the Creator sees clear With visions of times when we shed few tears When our smiles have stretched from ear to ear All the steps that we've travelled from year to year And he loves who we are deep down inside Forgives all the hatred, the greed and the pride It's the same kind of love that could keep us afloat When we all realise we need the same boat With our hands interlocked we could carry the Sun And bring forth the light where the damage was done So let's do the raindance and water the seeds And pray that the harvest brings what we all need |
