(Intro) He just flip it while I kick it He just flip it while I kick it He just flip it while I kick it Flip flip flip it while I kick it (Verse) I'm just chillin' laid back kick it with my team. We just chillin' and we're smoking something mean. I'm just chillin' life's feeling like a dream. Catch me chillin' with a Queen. AB gonna cause a scene. Artistic Brigade Monkey Hermit 17. Know what I mean? (No?) Cause I don't either. Could follow a rat or follow a leader. Just follow a teacher, and lead your own life. Gotta look past the preacher, See there's no need to fight See there's no need to fight Gotta look for yourself, and use the gift of sight. Gotta live for yourself, and live your life right. Gotta Live Love Life ASAP Gotta give Love right and then you'll see. There's a lot of rappers out that's better than me. Wasting talent chasing dollars and then they see. Should've chased their dreams, not things that gleam. Eldorado or Atlantis, I got Chicago on my back it's, not so easy being breezy, but it's not that hard. All around me man they cheezy, we just do our part, and we just do art, and we're just too smart. Work together, Man forever. Do it from the heart. But together we're too clever They can't make us part. Cause together we're forever, we just do it from the Heart. (outro) He just flip it while I kick it He just flip it while I kick it He just flip it while I kick it Flip flip flip it while I kick it

(E.M. Standup) (Verse) Thinking it up outta this maze. Brains haze in a daze be amazed. Faking famous from a failed Facebook fan page. Famous failing super saiyan, try and make it. Front a line at the club time to fake it. Try wine when you dine and you drink it. Front a line at the club time to fake it. Try wine when you dine and you drink it. (Chorus x2) Feeling famous think I made it then they take it back. Feeling anxious like I love her like I want her back. Finally famous now she made it and I'm In the back. Feeling anxious same word rhyming so you play it back. (E.M. Standup) (Verse) Fame is fleeting, legends leave and the city's off the map. Shot in the face, now he's laying on his back. Smack dab in the middle, what a riddle what is this? Right there in the middle of his three little kids. Playing Three Little Pigs Big Bad Wolf Blew the door down, blew him to the ground But he used to run the town, and he ran it to the ground. Just did what he knew how, just tried to get out now. Did it for the hustle said he did it for the cash, just did it so his kids could have a wiffle ball bat. But once he hit the trap, well sir then that's a wrap. Addicted to the game like his first hit of crack. But they don't care bout that, they just came for the stash, they knew where it's at, that he hid it in the back. So the gat went brrrrap and the kids all screamed, ran to the street for some cold ice cream... (E.M. Standup) (Chorus x2) Feeling famous think I made it then they take it back. Feeling anxious like I love her like I want her back. Finally famous now she made it and I'm In the back. Feeling anxious same word rhyming so you play it back. (E.M. Standup)

Boom Clap 03:27
Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap (Knuck if you buck right, Knuck if you buck right) I said Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck if you buck right) Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Right) I said Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Right) Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Right) (Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap Boom Clap Boom Boom Clap) (verse) Boom! Boom! Pow! Bap! They hit you with the clap, Roundhouse, uppercut, all started with a jab. Now you're laying on your back, wanting to go back Before it all happened, why'd you have to step to your ex's new boyfriend? Now you need ointment, and maybe some anointment. So why not just go back to before the night you meet her? Before the day she left and left you with a fever... Like its all her fault. She picked up the phone when your side chick called. But you treated her good and you swore you'd never leave her. You can pray to Allah or pray to St. Peter. But Peter's not a leader, Mohammad may be neither. Just curious as Judas not following a preacher. But Jesus didn't either, so thats a way to start. You can't see me where I stand so I'm standing in the dark. We need peace love and compassion and then you'll catch the spark. I think it's time for this to happen so let it happen right now. Abstrct with the beats hit them with the boom pow! Right? Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck if you buck right) I said Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck Knuck if you buck right) I said Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Right) (Right) Boom Pow Just listen to me now (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right) (Right Now)

Growing Up 02:27
(Verse) Growing up I never thought that I could make this happen. Making it from music, or that I would take up rapping. I just liked to bang on things and sing a little too. Dance and move and shake my thing when I felt the groove. Dancing in my chair, hands in the air. Don't have a care, I'm just doing my own thing. Peace to everywhere, making people care. When love is in the air, then joy with it will bring And people they will sing Then joy with it will bring The people they will sing Peace to everyone, we're just children of the sun, tell me why you need a gun to kill your family? Live for number one not like you're the only one, I'm not talking to your son, but the whole family. When will we see, can't keep killing over "peace" living life like a movie, you sit back and take a seat. Watch it fly by like a drive by, as life plays on stay sky high. I tried you tried, why cry? Just move on with our life and lets ride. My hands are on the wheel and you're gripping on the steel, please let's make a deal let me teach you bout the real. Lies you must realise truth in disguise. Right before your eyes Let us tell you bout our life. Back in the days when I was a teenager, had a cell phone early but I never had a pager. Used to spin on everything, vinyl to linoleum. Write my name with anything, Griffin to Rust-Oleum . Spot lies as teachers told em, called bluss like Texas Holdem, passed class and I was golden, but then I chose to fold em. I went my own way. I turned out okay. Try life your own way. Don't just listen to what I say, but know you'll turn out great. But never give up learning. You've got to keep on searching. Respect the world you live in, and people that's a given, you've got to love your brethren you've got to love your brethren you've got to love your brethren you've got to love your brethren And people they will sing...
