new thrashI got so much trouble on my mind, That I feel like I'm always sleeping with the enemy But I know the real world always gets the last word In that's why you gotta kick reality. So don't tease me and try to say I should care. Might as well go out for mine Cause everybody's going out for thiers. So don't tell me about a fake drug war Go cut education some more The people will one day learn and rise Cause not everyone is out to score. People always ask me why people are all fuckup At every corner liquor store.
scarlet begoniasAs I was walkin down rubadub square Not a chill to the window a litte to the air From another direction she was calling my eye It could be an illusion, But I might as well try ..might as well try She had rings on her fingers And bells on her shoes And I could tell without asking she was into the blues She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls I knew right away she was not like other girls Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong As everthing works out the way it does in this song Cause once in a while you get shown in the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right (rap) She was the summer of love and I thank the lord above Because the women took the lovin over me And just to gain her trust I bought a microbus Because I sold off my personal property A tight tye dyed dress, she was a psychadelic mess We toured to the north, south, east and west We sold some mushroom tea, We Sold some ectascy, We Sold nitrous, opium, acid, herion, and PCP Now I hear the police coming after me Now I hear the police coming after me The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair, She's got the police coming after me Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by.
live at e'sYesterday I saw a whore looking out my door As she bends my body aches if she'd walk in I would say: I'm on the mic doin things you like The name is ras M.G. and I'm a treat you right Cause all the ladies and me we both agree that I'm going down in world history Oh she makes my body ache and you know I paid for more I won't flake or perpetrate, I won't front no funky whore Don't get me wrong I'm just singing my song I'm just like you I like to ball my freaks all night long Not only do I rythme I also cut so nice they call me delight My name is eric I have nothing to say because I am not a fucking d.j.

d.j.sAll of the d.j.s surely have taken a lesson Start talkin trash and we'll come with a smith & wesson A little competition comes my way but it always winds up the same, "the stone that the builder refuse shall be the head cornerstone" Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right But still I set and lie awake all night All of the d.j.s surely have taken a lesson Try talkin trash and we'll come with a smith & wesson Enough d.j.s come with enough style but when I bus my lyrics we all Know it's wicked wily. Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right But still I set and lie awake all night You better strap with the gap If you wanna walk with me, bound to come down With the new stylee ,rockin rubadub know as reagee music Gotta come down with some new lyrics It just ain't nothing, it's been a real long time Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right But still I set and lie awake all night Rubadub blender a new mixer I am the one with d.j. with enough flavor Hear the dub and say lord have his grilled cheese. I ain't jamican, but I ain't no freak Caught the man eno with the one pound bag o' tweak And called him ghost rider everytime you see him he fulfill the danger Ain't nothin wrong, ain't nothing right But still I set and lie awake all night Dred gotta a job to do and he might fulfill his mission To see his pain would be his greatest ambition We will survive in this world of competition To make sure that till the ..is done I won't wait so long For you Stop your messin around Better think of your future Time to straighten right out or you'll wind up in jail

what happenedWhat Happened Wake up in the morning, clock says half past one I have no sunglasses As I step into the sun There's no recollection of the evil things I've done My head feels like I musta' had some fun What happened Last thing I remember I was chillin at a party Pinching girly's asses I was drinking recklessly I know I did something Lord what could it be Woke up in the morning And all my friends say me What happened What I'm I doing here Who is this girl in my bed What is this shit on my face My God, what is that awful smell (Chorus) She may be an angel She may be a queen She might be black, white, Amercian, Indian or Japanese Thru a bottle at a bouncer Didn't think that he was cool Pissed in someones drink And thru a bike into a pool Driven down the side walk Like a crazy possed fool I broke every single traffic rule. What Happened(2x) Let's go (chorus again)
new songI heard that Pay back's a mother fucking bitch But I won't stress and I won't switch And I would not take my life Glory please I god The only thing on my mind It takes up all of my time, and I said Running from a gun Or something that weighs a ton My god it hurts to get so far Searching through the car Close to searching through the night I think that I search You knew that I refused To listen to by And god find the reason Well I'm sure you'll find the rhyme Because it seems that I'm really on my own T, it stands for freedom Gods know's I've got the number Maybe I just use too much I was sitting in the bar Now I'm sitting in my stolen car Close to rolling down the boulevard Thought you were so clean I'm the microful scene Think I will run to you but I'll be will I won't give to me Cause I know god's got no reason And your out and please take me While it takes up all my time I've been drinking just like you And maybe you've got something I can do Pay backs a mother fucking blast I won't stress and I won't blast And I would not take my life Glory please I god Only from heaven above Takes up all my time, and I said Running from the gun Or something that weighs a ton You know I did that line for Flavor Flav But all the D.J's do it And all the D.J's use it I would run, I would switch But I want to be the same And I know I'll find the reason Cause I always bust the rhymes Because it takes up nearly all my time T, it stands for Treason The E, it stands for don't And maybe I just use too Maybe I just use too Maybe I'm just used too much Transcribed by Matt Palmer

date rapeLet me tell you about a girl I know, had a drink about a hour ago. Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown L. She heard a noise and she looked through the door. And saw a man she'd never seen before. Light skin, light blue eyes, a double-chin and a plastic smile. Well, her heart raced as he walked through the door And took an empty seat next to her at the bar. "My brand new car is parked right outside. How'd ya like to go for a ride?" And she said."Wait a minute I have to think." He said."That's fine. May I please buy you a drink" One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his car and drove someplace real far. Now babe the time has come. How'd ya like to have a little fun? And she said." If we could only please be on our way, I will not run." That's when things got out of control. She didn't want to, he had his way. She said."Let's Go" He said."No Way!" Come on babe it's your lucky day. Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way. Come on baby don't be afraid, if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid. He finished up and he started the car He turned around and drove back to the bar. He said."Now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad." She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head ,now he's got a big scar. Come on party people won't you listen to me. Date Rape Stylee. The next day she went to her drawer, look up her local attorney at law, went to the phone and filed the police report and then she took the guy's ass to court. Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed. " She lies that little slut!" The judge knew that he was full of shit and he gave him 25 yrs And now his hearted is filled with tears. That night in jail it was getting late. He was butt-raped by a large inmate and he screamed. But the guards paid no attention to his cries. That's when things got out of control. The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay drunk and horny. But that's the way it had to be. They locked him up and threw away the key. Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind, even though he now takes it in the behind. DATE RAPE She didn't want to TAKE IT!
hopeHow can you say. "You torture me", when you're already thinking about someone else. When he comes home you'll be in his arms and I'll be gone. But I know my day will come, I know someday I'll be the only one. So now you wait for a spark, you now it will turn you on. He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel. When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there. My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one. Call me selfish, call it what you like I think it's right. To want someone for all your own and not to share their love. But I'll have my way. You don't stand a chance anyway. Cause I got to you, you don't stand a chance. So now you wait for his cock, you know it will turn you on. He's gonna make you feel the way you want to feel. When he starts to lie, when he makes you cry you'll now I'll be there. My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one. My day will come , I know someday I'll be the only one. You say you want perfection, that's your self-destruction. You don't know what you want, it's gonna take you a year to find out. I am not givin up. And when you've had enough, you take your bruised little head and you'll come running back to me I know that I will be the only one.
