These are the breaks
Listen up son
I'd rather have words then be lead by the gun
Put your hands up
If you catching up
That these are the breaks
Shuffle this scratch that
Move around
Like these the breaks
Kids listen up
History in itself
As a time and a place
Is reinventing
That all OGs paid the price
And now they getting paid
in full w tributes for the rest of them
Don't stop dem breaks
Shuffle up and hustle harder
Listen up to and from
OF futuristic goals
When a goalie goals
You know you got game son
Don't pretend to be
One of them
that don't understand
The times
We been living
On a dime
Been a minute
Catch up before it's too late
That these just the breaks
Bgirls and bboys
We don't wanna be your friend
We just want to be nice to all of dem
Been moving since the showdown
Of Kool Herc and da Blow
Flowed dem Show them.
And den show them
the rhythm
show 'em how it goes
Party people
That this is the breakdown
Sun down
Nice people just be nice
This the masterclass
Rising in the East from the West Coast
Down south
To the north pole
Don't stop them breaks

Vernacular spectacle
Speactacular innoculus behaviour
Gimme words
Let's play this game
Intelligence over superior
Superior over inferior
Gimme something to play with
Gimme your Vernacular spectacular
Spectacle Intact retract your own facts
Give a listen
No other mission
But words
Acting like we know
Acting like we the show
Acting spectacular
Let's play this game
For real
Deal or no dealer
Spin the wheel
Take a chance
Gamble again
The vernacular intelligence
Over superior
Over inferior

Lived in a home
free of rent
met a guy in the asquare
who gave me shelter then
Had mad rages all over the streets
went by black ma and delta
Those were origins
Volunteered to help the old folks
Got mad at the system
Took his chains
and bashed up the side of a car
window frame
Got sent back to the ward
where i was living then
It was a time
Reporting wrong news
By the british tabloids
They blamed the black man
and the americans
But i was always canadian
A man made to travel the world
Met the duke of scotland who would've been king
MAde it to morocco
MAde it to the origins of greece
Athens paris sent
Where haven't i been
Seen so much damage
Miss saigon i represent
Back when i had the vocal chops
to audition
\cept i forgot the words to memories
Produced the theatre show for talent
where i graduated
With that big engineering ring
Call me whatever you want
Worked for ibm
Anderson consulting
Been east coast down in the states
Working for the man
BAck in minnesota
Where i was sent again to an institution
for the mad craven
Been around the world
Seen and been so many things
But now i rest
Schoobie doo ah schoobie doo eeee
IT's been a thrill of a life
But now we be chilling
No more villainry

GENOCIDE
03:16

|

Wanna play games
Who murdered who
And why
Blues Clue
Or Clue with a rope in the dining room
At night
Miss Scarlet red with her cigarette
MLK to JFK
2Pac and Biggie Smalls
Frank Black did it all
Nah
It's all just a conspired game
Lies about this or that
Who will die in dignity
The suicidal 27 age
Or those who die in peace?
Life ain't a murder game
But people die all the time
Get shot in halls meant to educate
Won't call them what they are terrorists
What cause they white and home grown in your back yard
Keep them criminals out they the cause build them walls
Reagan got shot but he brought down the divide
Berlin were tried times
But no one got the China divide
Barriers always built
Since the dawn of time
But why
Here's a clue
Humans do what others won't
Bury themselves\
Not to feed but to be cannibals
That bury their own
Pisses me off that this is the world\
King of the ladder
Chain gang
Pyramid factor
Be on the bottom of the line
We're the ones
Animals should be after
Destroy destruct
This was nurtured not natural
Humans out of luck
This planet fucked
Light a candl;e in tribute
Lights out
Total knock out
Life is about murder
War Games
Matthew Broderick
Ferris Bueller
Beuller Bueller
Take a day off
Risk ain't just a board game
Must be so bored we just kill things
Kill Life
Or face suicide
Bounty hunters
Assinate through craft
Without having to pull a trigger
OR nuclearize mass weapons of destruction
Destruction reconstruct
Construct a new system

The Breakdowns (Han)
04:37

Back in the day before I was born
My dad came to Canada
With fifty dollars in his hand
This must've been back in 76
When he got the job
Welding things in a trade
they gave him a hand
when they figured he didn't really know how to do
But here we dooooo
From a mission man undercover overseas
He became a working bee
To bring his fam to a better land
The high boss noticed
How good he was
Just like they did when he educated himself to the top of his class
to get special status as secret service thrust bust up your gut
Back then in his new homeland
The big white boss invited him out to his cottage home
Man, was pops surprised
All happy inside like a little boy
Little did he know that when he showed
That man just wanted him to clean the waste and weeds
Around the luxury spot he owned
What a dick
Slavery even then
By race
Given to an Asian man, the immigrant
He couldn't disobey
Cause he needed to keep his job in order to survive
And bring his family over to provide
Don't say we all ain't been played
To be slaves
Of this bigger world
Doesn't matter what colour you are
Colours degrade and fade over time
Major Minorities
Threatening the white man
Think this was centuries ago?
Yea, guess it was
But not so long past
Despite it all
We been grown systematically
By our own individual experiencies
It didn't happen to me
But felt it through the han
I feel it all
Not just for my pops
But for the fathers and mothers
sons and daughters
Everywhere on this globe
Everyone wanna be bosses
Yo my pops has always his own boss
In his mind
And I learned through him
The trade of educating self
Worth over what other people think
Self truth before other people
never take a break
D-Grade Y'all histories get an F
Like Fuck y'all
You did it to yourself.
We in a better world
I love my country better than the rest of them
But I see the creepers
Spreading hate
Cause they never read the papers
They just wanted to make them grades
To earn a dollar over holla
Out
Trading places
Ain't a game
It's real life
It's real life struggles
Unbeknownst to those who grew
With a silver spoon
Richie Rich
Silver spoons
Imagination got us all here
And metaphorically
The hater naysayers
Who say, Who us?
Not us, but them
Not my kind but generations before
Hey, call that growing
But you never grew up
Carbonite gold
Busting out them ashes
To become diamonds
To shine for our kind.
I grew with a silver spoon
Only because of the rust proof life my parents lived
They just trying to give kids a better life than they lived
Don't discriminate
Hustling harder
Never taking a break
Give 'em all a break
Nell Carter/ Vince a protege
These are the breaks
The breakdown
OF once upon a time
Still Today

Loneliness (Remix 14-41)
03:41
|
|

If I were the last one on this planet
The last breath would be so sweet
Because you don't know how lonely it's been
Loneliness really isn't half that bad
It's not as though I've had anyone
Before
But now I see the moon in the sky
When the sun shines
How many times do we have to rotate
Around the planets in the sky
Out beyond further than our reach
I just want to be a star in my own galaxy
A quest to have my ashes spread
Out there in outerspace
Cause inner space has been so difficult
At trying times
When we try too hard
To fight
That We are all alone
Being eccentric beings
Existentially speaking
Billions of stars living on this earth
Mother born
Respecting our fathers and forefathers and grandmothers beyond
If I were the last one to breathe this air
I think it would be the sweetest breath I'd ever take
Share this brethren with me
So as not to seem so lonely
On this here lonely planet
If I were the last one to breathe this air
I think it would be the sweetest breath I'd ever take
Cause no one would be here
To say that they did not care
