Hey, yo, We used to be young, dumb, full o' cum, Bubble Yum bubble gum, with no funds, But we still had fun. Don't worry, be happy, that's what we was. We was family, caring for loved ones, Blood relatives; first and second cousins. Brothers all from the same mother. Now we act like we don't know each other. We used to play with toy guns, Now we bust real ones. Shoot 'em up Kill Bill style and fashion. Hey, yo, what happened? Hey, yo, what happened? Na na na na na na na na What if we end up like this?

Yo, this is a lesson in friendship The depths of a kinship What women and men begin with, and then slip My pen drips As I scribble my thoughts on thin strips Of emotion A fraction, seduction, attraction Eruption of passion Corrupts if a lasted friendship's involved But love to cross the line But that's why we built these walls (Hook: Nelly Furtado) We been friends for a long time, a very close friend of mine Love you like you was mine, but respect a thin line I love you like you was mine, think about you all the time Very close friend of mine, but respect a thin line (Akil) Opposite's attract When the female and male come in contact Sticky situation in fact Tryin not to let the feelings catch But there's a thin line between both of y'all So you respect that And entertain the idea, but get brought back To reality, and could you really live with that? Decision, based on intuition You love and keep your distance Hug and kiss in friendship (Marc 7) An ongoing kinship, we was people to begin with Disrespect was not intended but your feelings sparked the sentence Sometimes you're too intense in your quest to invent The perfect man, please understand, my rhyme is your repent (Hook) - repeat 2X (Soup) Man, too bad that we became friends first I'm not on expert on how relationships should work But, (echos) from the minute it was known It changed the whole tone the way we spoke on the phone Yo, it was cool but I felt it wasn't enough And I was stuck when your moms would pick it up Over you, all my buddies would swoon But I felt we were in tune, you let me up in your room. (Damn) But to me girl, you're still off limits No matter all the times that I hinted (Yo, whatchu doin after this?) Infactuation was authentic, but yo I just pretended So I wouldn't lose the friendship Maybe, I should spill all my guts Or write a letter, then tear it up Or do a song, just to say what's up I want ... just ... a touch (Hook) - repeat 2X (Nelly Furtado) I can't do this anymore See my heart just spills out when you walk in the door Friendship turns into lust and this only tip That I can't comprehend even if I knew it Can't do justice to these things that I'm feeling You got someone else, don't wanna be caught stealing Hell if she knew she would never leave us alone in the roo-ooo-ooom (Chali 2na) This was a lesson in friendship I stress in this sentence Should women and men be friends first? And then slip? My pen drips as I scribble my thoughts on thin strips of devotion (Akil) Opposites attract And best friends make a perfect match If you only knew that Once you cross, ain't no turning back The minute you let him in it and he hit that That's that (Marc 7) We was people to begin with, but you was too relentless Jeporidizing kinship, respect is intended Resolve is my intent While we got it in I'm tryin to salvage a friendship (Hook) - repeat 2X |

If You Only Knew
Never, think just for shits and giggles Do we spit syllable riddles for bits and kibbles So chicks can wiggle and shake Cuz this image is fake AKIL I'm trying hard to relate in a place filled with so much hate SOUP Some brothers debate some love and some hate Whatever the case its all about the choices you make That's the reason you balloon or deflate CHALI But do relate we trying to rap back to its primitive state Wait MARC 7 No overnight success or running the bets Just pure unadulterated work progress I'm willing to bet the farm you'll give you right arm For a piece of the pie ask yourself why CHORUS If you only knew, the trials and tribulations we've been through But if you only knew, we real people homey just like you We humble but don't mistake us for some corny ass crew What we do is try to give you whatcha ain't used to SOUL MUSIC SOMETHING WE CAN ALL RELATE TO AKIL I ams what I am and that's all I can be, No more no less what you seeing is me Akil the MC W-I-S-E Wise intelligent God did bless me SOUP Yes we rock up off all the SP freshly especially Dangerous rough and deadly ALL The pen positioner Tip the Richter scale CHALI Alone we sink together we sail and prevail The rum brazen, coming through Guns blazin' Some of you duns running through ones with none savin' Complainin', me and my clan are unscathin' From the soul comes something amazing CHORUS AKIL How many times I gotta hear some fanatic in my ear Tellin me to keep it real when they ain't payin my bills Or feeding my kids, judging me on how I live If my crib in the hood or if its up in the hills MARC 7 Have you forgotten who you are? O you think you're a star Why you frontin' (you ain't nothing) You went from nothing to something But something means nothing If your people still wanting CHALI And you got money ain't givin' them nothing ALL Flossin and frontin SOUP Your game of charades The way you behave The image you save Your brother thats one big parade I'm sick of your ways I'm sitting here spitting the praise The next time they smile and they wave Will probably be with a gauge CHORUS |

Edit.
OK, let's begin! Compound: A substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined in definite proportions by weight. Mixture: Two or more substances that are not chemically united, such as air. Solution: A uniform mixture of varying proportions of a solvent and a solute. For many of our students, this is the lesson you've been waiting for. Lesson... Six. Left channel. Right channel. Hydrogen, H, +1. Sodium, Na, +1. Magnesium, Mg, +2. Aluminum, Al, +3. Potassium, K, +1. Calcium, Ca, +2. Chromium, Cr, +2, three, six. Any physical difficulty with a record, or a turntable, is taken care of. Do you think that Led Zeppelin and Frank Sinatra would go together? Edit. No. Combinations of music. You're about to play a sole, 45 RPM recording, But the turntable is set at 33 and 1/3, And the record plays very slowly. Let's pick up the tempo a bit, eh? Now let us imagine you are in the middle of your Disk Jockey program. This is the mark of a professional. Yeah, if you could throw a couple...yeah uhuh.. Right when he's playin' the drum... Let him play a couple' beats alone. Eeeeuuh. Uh! Oh I'm sorry, I had the turntable at the wrong speed. Listen! Scratching -- The greatest thing on earth! What do you do? What do you do? Drop! Chemical change: a change that alters the composition of the molecules of a substance. New substances with new properties are produced. Drop. From now until your next lesson, we want you to study carefully every section of lesson six, and to go back over Lesson 4. Practice carefully, and you will be ready for the new techniques and new situations we will cover together in Lesson 5. |

And sometimes I take a young girl out to eat, And hold the door open, oh you're so sweet, Of course my affection's super illustrated And I like to give don't reciprocate it Unless you could give me someone innovated And let's cook it up we don't refrigerate it But back to the country of the educated Where people get robbed and they celebrate it, [Chorus II x2] (MOS DEF) Maraken, my country 'tis of thee sweet land for robberies dos smokin SUV's red meat and army greens fat and frills thrills and spills eat and sleep hump and kill shop 'til you drop work 'til you dead get all you can then get in the wear (?) outta my face on your knees sleep in the mansion shut out the streets make that cake woop that trick lick my swagger suck my sick get high get low get sticky get rich get yo' own show get down get quick you slow you blow you broke get fixed terror dome, home swag home terror dome, home swag home home swag home home swag home [Repeat Chorus II x2] (CHALI 2NA) There are some things pure while certain things blur Dilute it with the lie and you believe when it occur Falsified information got my people in the stir We have to be in search of something equal to the cure Straight out the door, I come to give you more Lay the law keep it raw, when I speak it from the core Get underneath your skin like I scratched you with a claw Conflicted with the rich 'cause I kick it with the poor I laugh in the face of adversity Sound clashed with the bass 'cause it's natural to me But if you pay attention to the past you will see Not long ago you black they'd hang your ass from a tree Certain things change, while some stay the same Some are recluse, others are lovers of the game I'm trying to walk the lane,the siratul mustaqim [Arabic for "the straight path"] Instead of doing things that keep you covered in the flame. [Repeat Chorus II x2] Nanananana that shit was cool in English, but let me get that Somali verse. [Chorus I] |

Edit.
OK, let's begin! Compound: A substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined in definite proportions by weight. Mixture: Two or more substances that are not chemically united, such as air. Solution: A uniform mixture of varying proportions of a solvent and a solute. For many of our students, this is the lesson you've been waiting for. Lesson... Six. Left channel. Right channel. Hydrogen, H, +1. Sodium, Na, +1. Magnesium, Mg, +2. Aluminum, Al, +3. Potassium, K, +1. Calcium, Ca, +2. Chromium, Cr, +2, three, six. Any physical difficulty with a record, or a turntable, is taken care of. Do you think that Led Zeppelin and Frank Sinatra would go together? Edit. No. Combinations of music. You're about to play a sole, 45 RPM recording, But the turntable is set at 33 and 1/3, And the record plays very slowly. Let's pick up the tempo a bit, eh? Now let us imagine you are in the middle of your Disk Jockey program. This is the mark of a professional. Yeah, if you could throw a couple...yeah uhuh.. Right when he's playin' the drum... Let him play a couple' beats alone. Eeeeuuh. Uh! Oh I'm sorry, I had the turntable at the wrong speed. Listen! Scratching -- The greatest thing on earth! What do you do? What do you do? Drop! Chemical change: a change that alters the composition of the molecules of a substance. New substances with new properties are produced. Drop. From now until your next lesson, we want you to study carefully every section of lesson six, and to go back over Lesson 4. Practice carefully, and you will be ready for the new techniques and new situations we will cover together in Lesson 5. |
