Clocks in Sync with mine
Driving down Hwy 85
Pull over to a fancy restaurant
want lil collard greens and candid yams
The waitress say greens? We don't have that man
Well misses what exactly is caviar?
Is it sumptin we could eat and drive in a car?
If not please jest give me lemon water on ice!
Cuz on a day like this that a be just as nice
I don't where we're going but we're gone
Where we'll end kup I don't know but that's ok
All I know is that we're going together
And the world will just have to wait
I don't where we going but we're goin
When I'm with you things is always fine
I don't feel so outta of place with you
Cause your clock is set sync with mine
We see people walkin' down the street
People are the best part of nature to me
I wanna be just like my little son
Excited from the little things & having fun
See he's only been here for a short two years
Don't got alot of scares & hardly got no fears
And baby you's the bomb cuz your the same as me
from the same pad we're two weird peas
Chorus
Da Da Da
The Hey Song (Speech)
Step into my world for 1 day, just one
To some it be a ridiculous case of boredom.
Too others it be exciting as wild kingdom,
2 Me it be as bumpy as them roads in Brooklyn.
Fayetteville be my base my place to relax
Deep within the bush & barely on the map
Phat things of God around me when I do tracks
And blastin' thru my walls ya hear that ole boom bap
My queen & seed be maxin cuz the chores be taxin
At least one flick a week be our way of relaxin.
Drop off the baby at grams and mellow best. Then take a walk around the lake
to get our brains undressed.
Bare backed cerebrals make for good cathedrals
Ya body be yo temple so its best to keep it simple
Yo I rock this microphone with years of rap in my belt.
My voice clear as digital but with warmth so its felt.
Breath control on point, no darthvader here
So [adjust the bass & treble make my mic sound clear]
Chorus
Heyy
Come to my show, ya know I rocks better live
Hit U with the new, then dig into archives
Speech is big mouth Huge grill much teeth
Been doin nice routines since the age of the drill teams
Now I'm like a wu organization or an Indie nation
On musical levels fit to get wit music festivals
But on the D.L. check the vibe I omit
Cold rock a party wit that funky
Our Image
I walk down the street not with a knot inside my pockets it
gets hard where i'm at
mistake if one thinks you can live phat, I sold alot of records been on
tour with band or dat. With rap skills i won't fold bills unless i'm wise.
Been advised to be cool and let my money earn. I max out wit Larry lar cuz
he's concerned about my well-being won't catch me spendin' doe skiing acting
podgy. Tour any city got mad folk who will odge me. Hip hop somewhat builds
family. Listeners and such feel like they know me. Yet I got fam, deep deep
fam in the kingdom. There's halls with fans wanting me to rock songs so I
sing em. talkin bout freedom, like Marley soft though hardly.
hard core rugged and raw like Mental Menace here to brawl. Lyrically that is
& spiritually i handle biz. In my house hold we watch nick @ night. i make
money from music but it ai't my whole life. Real is raising my seeds and
makin' blameless my wife cuz she's there for me to pull me from strife. And
at night I'm quick to rock a mic ad humble yo might. Show you the diff
between fad & fact and give you stage fright. Inside the sea of darkness I
give ships direction and sight. A yo I'm Speech...
Movin On ( Speech)
I got a lil sumptin in my throat
A chunk a phlegm & mess that needs to go
I can't keep stagnate in my dome
God ya got dat vibe I'm asking for a loan
I need to get all pettiness out my life
They've been feeding me so much stress & strife
Hey Yo

I'm cleaning up my house & moppin up my floors
I'm moving on baby
Chorus
Moving On towards the light - I'm a find my way real soon
Movin strong doin right - I'm a make my dreams come true!
I'm raisin my expectations
In all types of situations
No more exploitation
No more procrastination
I ain't holding back no mo
And if ya ain't down then hit the doe
I'm not gonna slow my pace & cheat myself!
Trying to lag behind to hang wit someone else! Naw
(I gotta reason that I'm here alive ---so I'm a keep my standards high)
No more wack stuff to stay cool by you.
I'll make new friends thats on a mission too.
It's just too crazy playin' by no rules.
Tryin to fix my life but ain't got no tools.
Baby you's crazy if you think you'll win.
Cuz the race that U running in ain't got no end.
Chorus
Da Da Da
I'm makin no excuses
I'm going straight where the truth is!

Slave of it All: Speech
Reachin' feeling to find my way back home
I've been strugglin with who I am
For twenty eight years too long
I can't escape it, the T.V., the visions
of death, flesh, money and all
So much bombardment I feel like I'm enslaved
Whipping me when I dare to rebel.
Chorus
Woo, woo, yeah! I feel like a slave of it all- Bah da bah de ahh
The outcasts' & the nerds
The crazy nuts in the nuthouse
The homeless bums in the street
more likely know more truth than U & me.
Brains plugged into the machinery
Our hearts are so far from the real truth.
The truths seems so blurry
Please give me eyes to see.
Chorus
Woo, woo, yeah! I feel like a slave of it all.
Historians say know your history, or you're doomed to repeat it.
Yet we repeat history over and over again.
For centuries, politicians bark about bringing in a new age,
I ask when will this new age finally begin?
Music mags say the musician can save us
So we rush to empty the bins.
Musicians say we can't save ya-
This crazy cycle never ends.
I think I get the picture,
I'm posed to play these games til I'm dead & gone.
Then its too late and a new batch of contestants are born.
We keep chasin' after the latest "freedom"
New car, new job, new love
I believe the only true freedom
Rests with god above!
Yeah Yeah
Tell me baby
Why have you not returned none of my calls since back in the day?
I think it was in the fall
Tell me honey
Am I not cool enough for you
that you cant understand who I be & the type a man I be
you used to hug me you use to love & tickle me constantly
you used to laugh at my jokes even if they were not funny you used to jone
on me sayin' their can't be no black folks that come from Milwaukee (ha ha)
and then I moved to Tennessee & I met you & you met me
it was love
Chorus
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I never was the dangerous type
the type a man that your mama would not like
no mysterious sex appeal
and probably would be accused of not keeping it real
but when I was with you I was cool
when I was with you I was no fool
I was Mr. got it going on
check the sister that brothers got around his arm
it was love
Chorus
Yeah yeah yeah
You know you was the only girl that my grandma would ever let come over
you called my moms on the line yaw'l was cool even if me & u wasn't cool at
the time
but we could always work things out
at least that was my vibe
but now I don't know if your alive
it's been 3 or 4 weeks maybe 5
baby baby
there's been 3 or 4 new releases that's come out at the movie theater that
we ain't seen
now I can be the fronting type to act like this don't hurt & I'm alright
but what would be the point in that when inside I'm still trapped with the
fact I'm in love
Chorus
Yeah yeah yeah
Real Love
Like them homeless people laying under bridges.
Like the woman caught in the act of cheatin on her mister
Like the owner of a credit card over limit/ when times is hard,
Aint got no money for my children
Chorus
Of all the hard times I've endured
Ain't nothin that real love can't cure
Of all the hard times that I feel
Ain't nothin that real love can't heal
Sometimes life brings me embarrassment
People waitin to see you fall flat on your face and all, baby.
I'm trying to keep it on tight now but things Don't seem to workout right
and um I' m trying to keep my life straight yeh.
Chorus (2 times)
Of all the hard times I've endured
Ain't nothin that real love can't cure
Of all the hard times that I feel
Ain't nothin that real love can't heal
Change
Lord knows that times can be rough
And so rare is someone with real love
I know the times when I feel the lowest
When I feel its my last breath
That's when I'll accept your real love
Chorus fade out
The List Goes On
I'm in harmony with trees & dirt
I flirt with skys and clouds and scream out loud like Tarzan I'm a jungle
man
Nappy hair, I dare to go there in my skirts and loud shirts. Seeking quiet
rebellion against the status quo they're selling.
I was a political terrorist in my past life. Now I prepare a list of
potential disciples for Jesus Christ now ain't that somethin'.
I'm a merchant in search of pearls.
I'm a traveler around the world.
I'm a man of inexpensive means
Livin' life and feelin' free
Chorus
The List Goes On-n-n-n-n-n-n (The List goes on & on)
(repeat)
I'm in lack of faith sometimes. The devil renders me blind
Leaving me dependent--dependent on my sins.
Spiritual warfare under my hair
Angels on the front lines trying to cast out demons and the beast that live
within' me
I was a political terrorist in my past life. Now I prepare a list of
potential disciples for Jesus Christ now ain't that somethin'.
It's all relative in the world ya live
It's only one path to avoid the wrath
All of this inside my vibe now ain't that somethin'
chorus
If life is a River (Speech, Shakira, Kevan Banks)
This beat here came outta no where
heard it one time hoopla bound turned it around
add it to the album it manipulates the sound
El Pus gets down with Prince Paul, Prince of Thieves
most a yaw'l gonna take a fall like Chris Reeves
but Vagabond be on da humble guided by G
drive around Fayetteville pumpin' Soul Power
a shout to Nadirah, Lucas be faithful bro
all the saints around the world be faithful yo
don't forget to wear yo helmet and yo shield wit bow
by now you guessed dat this is just a freestyle flow
and the dam just broke open and I'm the first to go...
If life is a river do you have a canoe
or are you riding in a big ship that can't get thru
or are you chillin on the side lines watchin the view
if life is a river which one is you?
(Shakira)
Blessed wit' the lyrical gift
to spit the gift
sips on intellect
chills wit' the select
few who knew
that I would - if I could
and I can
so I came - to pout it down - and
represent to the fullest- yo'
I'm in the house
solo entertiner's
mercy
to turn it out
no doubt
competition - gettin' done
I ain't the one
cock back and squeeze
the trigger
Nah-
Life
I don't make power moves easily
I need management cuz I'm honestly
still amazed anyone remembers who I am
much less my face when I step into the jam
in the age of the Fugees, Whyclef, etc.
the same kids back inthe day that used to open up for ya
cycles, I remember opening up for the tribe
outside when can I kick it was live now.
(Kevan Banks)
If life is a river do you have a canoe
or are you riding in a big ship that can't get thru
or are you chillin on the side lines watchin the view
if life is a river which one is you?
Now there is no limits to me like Master P
I'm an old school daddy causin comfort like a caddy
I used to be popular like divorce
til the trde winds cme and altered my course
but I paid to stay young just like Cher
I sacrificed every single day to stay in there
some folks man they tickle me like Elmo
thinking they got a show just cuz they can make ya say ho
uh uh you ain't in real like
thinking you hype cuz you did commerical for Sprite
don't forget to wear yo helmet and your shield aaiight
by now you guessed that this is just a freestyle hype
and the dam just broke open and I'm the first to ignite
If life is a river do you have a canoe
or are you riding in a big ship that can't get thru
or are you chillin on the side lines watchin the view
if life is a river which one is you?
