This is one of those classic songs that can be played back to back with Biggie’s One More Chance and not put one bump in the vibe of the party. Back when the “mobster” image was in style and rappers out of New York rapped about achieving wealth with more style than the watered down lyrics of today. But enough reminiscing, here’s the classic 2nd verse of AZ’s classic song - Sugar Hill:
Verse 2:
No more cutting grams, and wrapping grands up in rubberbands, i’m a
recovered man, our plans ta discover other lands, suburban places got me
seeking for oasis, cristal by the cases, ladies of all races with dime
faces, sex on the white sand beaches of Saint Thomas, though this ain’t
promised, I’m as determined as them old timers, I wanna villa in a Costa
Rica, so i can smoke my reefer and enjoy how life supposed ta treat
ya, laid in the shades of the everglades, finally forever paid, wearing
the finest fabrics tailors ever made, me and my team, carrabeans
forseen, i guess being down for so long i’m all in store ta see my
dreams

PICTURES WITH WORDS: Notorious B.I.G - Notorious Thugs (Biggie’s Verse)
Filed Under PICTURES WITH WORDS | 1 Comment
Armed and dangerous, ain’t too many can bang with us
Straight up weed no angel dust, label us Notorious
Thug ass niggas that love to bust, it’s strange to us
Y’all niggas be scramblin, gamblin
Up in restaurants with mandolins, and violins
We just sittin here tryin to win, tryin not to sin
High off weed and lots of gin
So much smoke need oxygen, steadily countin them benjamins
Nigga you should too, if you knew
What this game’ll do to you
Been in this shit since 92′
Look at all the bullshit I been through
So-called beef with you know who
Fuck a few female stars or two
Nigga, blue light, nigga, move like Mike, shit
Not to be fucked with
Motherfucker better duck quick, cause
Me and my dogs love to buck shit
Fuck the luck shit, strictly aim
No aspirations to quit the game
Spit yo’ game, talk yo’ shit
Grab yo’ gat, call yo’ click
Squeeze yo’ clip, hit the right one
Pass that weed, I got to light one
All them niggas I got ta fight one
All them hoes I got ta like one
Our situation is a tight one
Whatcha gonna do, fight or run?
Seems to me that you’ll take B
Bone and Big, nigga die slowly
I’ma tell you like a nigga told me
Cash Rule Everything Around Me
Shit, lyrically, niggas can’t see me
Fuck it, buy the coke
Cook the coke, cut it
Know the bitch ‘fore you caught yourself lovin’ it
Nigga with a Benz fuckin it
Doesn’t it seem odd to you
Big come through with mobs and crews
Goodfellas down to the Mo Thugs dudes
Who’s the killa, me or you?
Exactly.

Filed Under PICTURES WITH WORDS | Leave a Comment
I know, I know…this is a cliche verse right? But you would still be surprised how many people front like they know this verse word for word when it comes on in the club. So quit your mumbling and learn the verse you new jack.
P.S - HOLD YOUR HEAD PRODIGY!
I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
You heard of us
Official Queens Bridge murderers
The Mobb comes equipped with warfare, beware
Of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
For all of those who wanna profile and pose.
Rock you in your face, stab your brain wit’ your nose bone.
You all alone in these streets, cousin.
Every man for they self in this land we be gunnin’
And keep them shook crews runnin’
Like they supposed to.
They come around but they never come close to.
I can see it inside your face
You’re in the wrong place
Cowards like you just get they’re whole body laced up
With bullet holes and such
Speak the wrong words man and you will get touched
You can put your whole army against my team and
I guarantee you it’ll be your very last time breathin’
Your simple words just don’t move me
You’re minor, we’re major
You all up in the game and don’t deserve to be a player
Don’t make me have to call your name out.
Your crew is featherweight
My gunshots’ll make you levitate
I’m only nineteen but my mind is old
And when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
Another nigga deceased, another story gets told
It ain’t nothin’ really
Ayo dunn spark the Phillie
So I can get my mind off these yellow backed niggas
Why they still alive I don’t know, go figure.
Meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation
If I die I couldn’t choose a better location
When the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
Getting closer to God in a tight situation.
Now, take these words home and think it through
Or the next rhyme I write might be about you.
Exactly.

After coming across the Elliot Smith studio footage and hearing his rendition of the classic Beatles song Because, I was reminded how simply beautiful that song really was. The song was written by John Lennon but is normally credited to both Lennon and McCartney.
Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round
Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high
Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue

Leading up to the highly anticipated release of The Carter 3, many people were turned off by the fake snippets that leaked earlier this week. But hopes went back up when the official tracklist leaked, and now…I gotta blog a verse from this dope ass song…
Verse 2:
Respect is in the heart
So that’s where I’ma start
And a lot of heart patients don’t make it
But hey kid
Plural, I graduated
Cause you can get through anything if magic made it
And that was called recycling, are we reciters of it
Cause you just like us, so you say you just like it?
Some say its biting but I say it’s enlightening
Besides, Dr. Kanye west is one of the brightest.
And Dr. Swizz can stitch ya track the tightest.
And Dr. Jeezy can fix you back up the nicest.
Arthritis in my hand from writing but
I’ma doctor they don’t understand my writing
So I stop writing, now I’m like lighting
And you ain’t fish him so don’t clash with the titan
Fast and exciting
My passion is frightening
Now lemme put some more vocab in your IV
Here take yo Vicodin, like it and love
And confidence has no budget
So pay me no mind, I don’t walk it like I talk it,
Cause I run it I don’t do it cause I done it
And I’m in the emergency unit

This one goes to all them Big Will cats
With ice on they limbs and big rims on they Ac
You going around town with your system bump
And your windows cracked low to profile and front
Now I like to have nice things just like you
But I’m from Brooklyn, certain shit you just don’t do
Like, high posting when you far from home
Or like, high posting when you all alone
Now, this would seem to be clear common sense
But, cats be living off, sheer confidence
Like “Fuck that, picture them telling me run that”
But acting invincible, just ain’t sensible
It’s nineteen ninety-now, and there’s certain individuals
Swear they rolling hard and get robbed on principle
5 star general, flashing on your revenue
You taking a ride on the Downstate medical, Like (wooooooop)
Colorful sparks, yellow and blue
A full on attack and it’s happening to you
Wit’ nothing you can do but bust back and cop a plea
But five of them and one of you, that equals got to me…
Exactly.

PICTURES WITH WORDS: Cee-Lo - Free (Soul Food Intro)
Filed Under PICTURES WITH WORDS | Leave a Comment
Whenever I listen to this song, it brings back so many memories of what the South was musically for a time. And when I think about how far Cee-lo has come its crazy. Indeed there is always one that stands out in a group. For those that don’t know (shame on you), this is the intro to Goodie MOb’s debut classic, Soul Food. Originally, this short intro was actually an entire song by Cee-lo. He decided to trim it and use it for the Soul Food album. I’d love to get my hands on the original, but I’m sure that its buried somewhere deep in the ‘dungeon‘. Anyway, this one is for the books..:
Lord it’s so hard…..
living this life, a constant struggle each and every day..Some wonder why….
I’d rather die, than to continue living this way..
Many are blind…
and cannot find, the truth cause no one seems to really know..
But I won’t accept….
that this is how it’s gon’ be, devil you gotta let me and my people go…Cause I wanna be free..
completely free, lord won’t you please come and save me…
I wanna be free
totally free, I’m not gon’ let this world worry me..

PICTURES WITH WORDS: Biz Markie - Just A Friend (1st Verse)
Filed Under PICTURES WITH WORDS | Leave a Comment
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait?
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talking to this girl from the U.S nation
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got on stage dripping, pouring with sweat
I was walking through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear, come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said, how do you like the show?
She said, I was very amused
I started throwing bass, she started throwing back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, “do ya have a man?”, she tried to pretend
She said, no I don’t, I only have a friend
Come on, I’m not even going for it
This is what I’m going to sing

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by you know how I feel
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life for me
And I’m feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
Its a new dawn
Its a new day
Its a new life for me
And I’m feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don’t you know
Butterflies all having fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me.
Oh I’m feeling good.

People hand in hand
Have I lived to see the milk and honey land?
Where hates a dream and love forever stands
Or is this a vision in my mind?
The law was never passed
But somehow all men feel theyre truly free at last.
Have we really gone this far through space and time
Or is this a vision in my mind?
I’m not one who make believes
I know that leaves are green
They only turn to brown when autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Todays not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what Id like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to find our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind?
Im not one who make believes
I know that leaves are green
They only change to brown when autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Todays not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what Id like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to take our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind?
