Sev

All these dreams seem so far away in my head

Damn, I'm lovin this shit
Living in it, I got the people singing our hits
It's like wild, cause I was up all night
With my pen in my right drinking 8 Miller Lights
Trimming off the fat is where we're at,
we're getting leaner
I'm looking at the other side,
the grass is getting greener
I mean I opened up the flood gates
dance clubs to arenas
Light on my feet, the air is getting cleaner
I got the bomb shit, can you handle this
It's in my brain through this pen hits my pad
Oh my God are you out there and can you handle this
We're gonna put the mother fucking
asses out of business.. NOW

All these dreams seem so far away in my head

So what happened to the good old days,
everybody says
When way back in the day that
dreams filled our heads
Of opening up shows we worked so hard
to get in the door
And put our best friends inside the clubs
to fill the floors
See we've loved and lost a lot,
and put our dreams aside
To go on this trip, the best rides of our lives
Of good friends, we've kept them close
not because of status
See this is al real but to get it you gotta have it
Taking time to get it right and lived our lives
with high intentions
Feeding off each other, did I forget to mention
All these dimensions that circle with high intensity
Fusing together, the new school reality

All these dreams seem so far away in my head

Yo, what's up? Sev Sev is gonna tear it up.
I said yo, what's up? Sev Sev is gonna tear it up

Whatever I wanted, whatever I needed
You have always been there for me
And when there was doubt I would never turn my back
Cuz I've always needed you.

I see you're callin e again
What could you possibly want?
I thought that we could be friends,
But now I know it was a front

Yeah, I'm a'right
That's just the way that I was dealt.
I'm trying to make it up in this life
But I'm receiving no help

No help at all with no holds barred
But little did I know that I would be scarred
I'm left all by myself for about a second or two
You know, out with old
You know, and in with the new

[Chorus x2]
First you say whoa Then you say yeah
Get your hands up
Throw your hands in the air
First you say whoa
Then you say yeah
Get your hands up

I used to smoke it, provoke it
Then I'd pass it down the line
tonights whose gettin fucked up cause its 1999
harder than a shot of mooshine
my state of mind up till he ultimate crime
But today is the day that tomorrow will never see
You live in yesterday's world
You'll never be free
I keep going, knowing, flowing for the sake to be strong
As I walk down this road singing the same old song

[Chorus x2]
First you say woah. Then you say yeah
Get your hands up
Throw your hands in the air

Well I would cry tears
But they stopped falling long ago
Back when my visions and dreams
Reportedly did not show, so
I cannot be the same pathetic soul that you are searching for
But best believe that when you leave
You'll hear the slam another door
Yeah I'm alright,
I'm not perfect like you
but if you had a clue
you know my mental stayes true
so go back to that place
where back where my visions and dreams
chose to stay today

Every single day a smile on my face
Consistently around, I can not relate
I distance me persistently, am I the one that's in the wrong
25 years, I'm already gone
But it's too late now to go back how I'm off on my own
2 backpacks and a knapsack and a bag to get me what
That's all I've ever needed it's always been repeated
I've never been defeated cuz I land back on my feet again
Cuz I'm a menace to society and
I don't wanna become what's in me
Grow up it's time for you to move on
They say doing what you want to do can only get you so long
But don't try to blame me for shit I didn't do
Cuz that will only get you places you don't to go too
But I can understand in the end
Deceptions got you all fucked up my friend
But that's ok I just blaze the path and through the hour glass
My time will pass like everyone else has
Cuz I'm a menace to society and
I don't wanna become what's in me
All I need is the sun today, All I need is the sun today
but the sun won't come out today

The final hour is coming at hand
We gotta stand with a grain of sand
Through the hourglass of lies & deceit
And at our feet the door defeat
Which we kick down with the powerful aggression
Only with my people do I have fat session
So burn one for me
Now if I can't make it
Believe in me and your hand I would shake it
Up and down with the utmost respect
Any other way you better hit the deck
Because the sun keeps shining
I keep rhyming
To the top of the ladder, yeah I keep climbing
Til I reach my peak, I'll never plateau
This ones for the people that came out to the shows
Slow it down, yes if I can't make it
Believe in us cuz you know we're gonna take it

When will I ever see,
That face looking back at me
We spend our time alone, don't you know
It's getting hard to breathe

2:30 in the morning & I'm strung out again
I'm all alone sleeping in the Lion's den
Well it's the miracle, lyrical, words I compose
And it's a hard knock life
but it's the one that we chose
So I paid my dues, I took the time that it takes
Freestyle separates the truths from the fakes
And that's the breaks
It takes time to get your game
25 years I'm finally breaking out the frame
And out the frame so simple and plain
Reminisce the place from where we came
Went through so many phases
That it amazes me so
From single to Double A
And now we're playing the Pro's
Touring in the van thinking these are the days
Having nationwide dreams,
tour busses, and getting paid
So we're thinking while we're drinking
about the choices we made
And the road that we paved for,
love that needs to stay

When will I ever see,
That face looking back at me
We spend our time alone, don't you know
It's getting hard to breathe

And all the memories I look back on
Still accomplish nothing at all
And all the dreams & happiness
Were shared between a man
And his woman of gold

No longer can I touch your
Face again will I ever be
Able to feel your skin from under:

Neath the ground I reach out
I try to pull you in
But over & over again
I swear I see that face
Looking back at me again

You got to move it got to groove it
Got to get into it
Intuition that I listen too
Gets me through it
I pursue it so I knew it
That I had to do it
Don't got to prove it that I'm fluid
and I'm getting stupid
But you never knew how clever now that this could be
And we're fine to blow your mind with this energy
It's who I am and what we represent
The place where we came, Planet Earth resident

It's alright by me, it's alright tonight.
We are the ones that make you go wow
That make you move now
You got to get loud

I remember Junior High School
The place we learned to be cool
Wearing Parachute Pants,
showing kids how to breakdance
Skateboarding in your neighbors pool
I did a lot of dumb shit,
and most of the time I got caught
Next I was sent to Military Academy
But Marching my ass off,
it just didn't seem right to me
So I became a casualty of war
You know like the kid next door
It's alright by me, it's alright tonight.
We are the ones that make you go wow
That make you move now
You got to get loud
It's alright by me, it's alright tonight.
Somebody, Anybody, Everybody now
You got to get down, you got to get down

It's alright, it's alright, by me

I got my good side on my left,
I got my bad side on my right
And yo which side will I be walking with tonight
Stay positive even if we get beat down
Cuz what goes around you know it comes around
I drink Gin from Bombay
Getting ill everyday
Every morning, every night 420 twice a day, hey
I'm not the average type of guy
And when I walk in the room,
you know the ladies know why

It's Alright.....

Stand on the head, an illusion passing by
You're better off dead, when justice starts to fly
Cuz it knocks you down,
and when you're trying to get up
The mad boy surrounds you, so come on what's up

We are the children of the earth they say
And our implausible motive is to seize the day
An eternity, it would take us to regain our strength
As the stereotypical push it

What does it all mean, this path tone deaf scream
Don't stereotype me,
cuz you're walking on a tight beam
But talk all the talk in your dreams unseen
Be all you can be in the Army, well that's not me
Where did it all go, who will ever know
That these times in my mind forever moving so slow
So don't be so fake, your voice has to break
Through the barrier unseen with no mistakes

Just jump in the air
Everybody over there
To the people over there
And everybody everywhere

I find in my mind this stations overdrive
That these voices I hear, never have to hide
From these crippled ass punks trying to be like solo
So why even try when you know that you can't go
There, when your bitch ass looks turn to stare
Glare, I turn it back boom in the air
150 miles an hour, speed up and crash
You gotta fucking bullet for your ass

We are the children of the earth they say
And our implausible motive is to seize the day
An eternity, it would take us to regain our strength
As the stereotypical push it

Just jump in the air
Everybody over there
To the people over there
And everybody everywhere

Stand straight, head strong
It takes, not long
Stand straight, head strong
It takes, not long

Sev, Sev now stand to attention
Like Mr. John Holmes, I've got the erection
For you, score you, didn't mean to ignore you
But waiting, contemplating, gets you in a 5.0 folder
Depending on the ending,
I can turn the situation around
Change up location, take it underground
With a big ass house, fine ass girl
Plenty of dough, and by the way, look who's going pro

Constantly putting fat tracks on your racks
It's SEV, yeah and we're known for that fact
So ease back ,relax, while we collect plaques
It's alright now, just jump in the sack
You keep playing know what I'm saying
It's alright, I gotta full of envy
And a fist full of fight
Right down to the last drop
Bash me down & don't stop
Keep your shit talking
It will put me on top

There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see

I came close to the edge, but I didn't go over
Now's the time to fight the crime,
I'm in like a soldier
Every time I put on my shoes, I'm out the door
Moving that ass on the dance floor
Beats, Beats, Beats, Beats, Beats in my head
When I go to sleep, they're waiting for me in my bed
Pull over undercover, every night a different lover
Discover when we take this mic, there's no other

There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see

247-365 this type of shit it happens all the time.
247-365 this type of shit is gonna blow your mind

247-365 days of every year, ya know we will survive
So get back, get up, & scream out what you're thinking
How can this happen, I'm 26 & I'm still drinking
Thinking, speaking to all the people that came around
To all of our shows just to hear the sound, underground
Or whatever you want to call it
So get your bags packed now. Why? We just started

There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see

247-365 this type of shit it happens all the time.
247-365 this type of shit is gonna blow your mind

Give into me, don't fight it just breathe
And exhale through these memories
of life for all to see
So you can believe what I give can deceive
I play the part that's what you came here to see
But no matter how far you go, or how hard you try
No one denies looking in these eyes
Your never knowing of the penalties that pay back
So keep reading my books, they're called tracks

Back no one can hold me down, hold me down
To the Front of the line that's where I bring it this
TIME To the Front of the line

Well have you read the headlines today
I'm all alone sleeping in the sea of dismay
With so much to say on what's real & what's fake
To walk down the street and make the same mistake
But I'm eating my cake & I just need a break
I got this weight on my shoulders
not much more I can take YEAH
I said I was new on the scene,
but yo what the fuck does that MEAN

That's right, I'm back no one can hold me down,
hold me down
To the Front of the line that's where I bring it this
TIME To the Front of the line

What we'll be, we'll be
Anyone can tell

That's right, I'm back no one can hold me down,
hold me down
To the Front of the line that's where I bring it this
TIME To the Front of the line

You can believe what we give can deceive you see
We play the part to the front of the line

What you got for me, What you got for me,
What you got baby, What you got for me
All my time is wasted, I wish I could replace it
What you got for me

Depressed, stressed, from the neck up
I'm so fed up of people trying to tell me
to keep my head up
I can't get up, I'm so fed up,
I'm sick & tired of this thing
They call the big setup
Well I'll be swinging my dick in the thick of it
as the shit goes down
And as the shit goes down
Yes, well I'll be looking in the mirror, clear as day
The only words out my mouth that I got to say is
You mother fuckers wanna step to me, you'll see

What you got for me, What you got for me,
What you got baby, What you got for me,
All my time is wasted, I wish I could replace it

See the conception of your persons got you
feeming upon your being
Acting up, yeah get it right you live your life
in silent screaming
And keep thinking about what you're
dreaming & believing
Only when I sit back it keeps repeating
But one things for sure, in the end it's all clear
That growing up in the city as a kid with no fear
I might have done some shit back
when I was young & in the day
And for that every single day I still pray
You mother fuckers wanna step to me, you'll see

Please, you could never get with this I mean please

So what you got for me
All my time is wasted, I wish I could replace it
All this time is wasted

We've tried to compare ourselves in time
All along what went wrong

Hey
Rekindling of a dwindling fire
Execution style when the dealer becomes the buyer
Living on a tight wire 24 hours a day
I'm ready to pray, there's got to be a better way
I say, can I, will I, have I, I pray that I get by and I
Keep on living to get me by
Expected to be I never knew why

Why can't you be, what I expected
Why can't you see, I've been rejected
How could this be? Something troubling
Or could you see, it's inside of me

Redemption now has taken control of me
Check this out
Expected to be I never quite fit so fuck you
A time to be she said to me, I'll be there
An empty dream it seemed.
Weigh out every day on a triple beam
Acting like a fiend, when my insides are inspected
Take a second look,
it might not be what you expected
Take a harder look at what you got
Take a second look, it might not be a lot

Why can't you be, what I expected
Why can't you see, I've been rejected
How could this be? Something troubling
Or could you see, it's inside of me

Star
DROP IT!
Why can't you be?

Saturday morning, woke up at 10:44
Still all wasted from the night I had before
Turn over in my bed, I'm still feeling groggy
Who was that girl, we'll call her Lottie Dottie
Well, Lottie Dottie, she sure liked to party
Took a double at the body,
knew that my eyes were red
We smoked an L and took it to the head
2 hours later she had me jumping in her bed
So Ladies, the ones getting played
Spread out & laid, like mustard, ketchup, mayonaise
Don't be afraid, 2 hours & no ties
When the sun comes up, it's good morning & goodbye

So that's the way, uh-huh that we like it
No need to fight it, we explode like riots
We are the ones that will make you buy it
So come on try it you know you're gonna like it

So you wanna be a player (Hell yeah)
Well, ladies you can be some players too
So you wanna be a player (Fuck yeah)
Just don't let them try to play you

Later that night there was a message on my Skytel
(Danny meet us at the club)
I'm like Oh well
Confidence and all thinking I'm the man
I walked out the front door, to my ride the band van
It was D-Bone, Max, Phil C and me
Ready to play these girls, cuz it came so easily
But little did we know they had a plan already set
To get us to their place, something we would regret
There had to be like 50 of them lining up the room
Saying come on do it now, chill we'll start soon
I guess it just shows that anyone can pursue it
The only people that get played
are the ones that do it

So that's the way, uh-huh that we like it
No need to fight it, we explode like riots
We are the ones that will make you buy it
So come on try it you know you're gonna like it

So you wanna be a player (Hell yeah)
Well, ladies you can be some players too
So you wanna be a player (Fuck yeah)
Just don't let them try to play you

We're all the same,
it's when we try to change the only ones
But we're not like them at all
In this life, we all try to be the only ones
But it's not like that at all

Living life in the fast lane, it's all just a game
Understand & maintain
we're all same frame no names
See what we got to do is learn to make a change
Stop being plain, use your brain cut through the chains
Believe in consequence, regain confidence
Live your life saying there ain't no stopping this
Now a good example of what that did to me
Look in my eyes tell me what do you see
Envy, Punk. Yeah, that's right
Instead of using fists, we use mic's to fight
See now Phil & me,
we're gonna break it down for you people
Just to show you that we're equal & evil
Sit back relax, it's just a game
You're about to find out the true meaning of fame
So get your SM58 instead of a 9MM (double M)
Plug that shit up, and let the games begin

So now, let it out. On the mic
God I'm twisted
And when you look around,
tell me what you've found
Look in my eyes
God I'm twisted

Ok, let's get it started
You talk all that shit, who's on top
You think this ain't no thing
Don't let me get you in the ring
Yeah, but see when you go for yours bro
I'm just gonna choke that throat
You've been a punk & we all know
All that talking shit on me
Better let go
Coming hard & it's gotta make me laugh
You're lyrics sound like my rough draft
It's gonna be a blood bath, ok?
Wait, I've got something to say
All your words, see they don't mean jack
If you come off looking like Mark McGrath
I'm hitting hard fast, before you can blink
Man, you sound like the lost member from NSYNC

So now, let it out. On the mic
God I'm twisted
And when you look around, tell me what you've found
Look in my eyes
God I'm twisted

It's all gonna end with a mic in our hands
Like a one night stand,
never getting called back again
A double edged sword goes in the same way
But I guess it doesn't matter at the end of the day
Cuz what you say, don't mean shit
I guess that's what it takes to make a
Hit, boom bip, & now the script is flipped
Awww, has your ego tripped?
The record skips, ignite like propane
You better take that ass to the store for Rogaine
Oh & on that tip, what's even sadder
I heard from your girl that you need Viagra
Rumors, they're deadly like tumors
It's coming out now, later than sooner
But Fuck it, one mission at one time
One love for each other in this battle rhyme

I see you're callin e again
What could you possibly want?
I thought that we could be friends,
But now I know it was a front

Yeah, I'm a'right
That's just the way that I was dealt.
I'm trying to make it up in this life
But I'm receiving no help

No help at all with no holds barred
But little did I know that I would be scarred
I'm left all by myself for about a second or two
You know, out with old
You know, and in with the new

[Chorus x2]
First you say whoa Then you say yeah
Get your hands up
Throw your hands in the air
First you say whoa
Then you say yeah
Get your hands up

I used to smoke it, provoke it
Then I'd pass it down the line
tonights whose gettin fucked up cause its 1999
harder than a shot of mooshine
my state of mind up till he ultimate crime
But today is the day that tomorrow will never see
You live in yesterday's world
You'll never be free
I keep going, knowing, flowing for the sake to be strong
As I walk down this road singing the same old song

[Chorus x2]
First you say woah. Then you say yeah
Get your hands up
Throw your hands in the air

Well I would cry tears
But they stopped falling long ago
Back when my visions and dreams
Reportedly did not show, so
I cannot be the same pathetic soul that you are searching for
But best believe that when you leave
You'll hear the slam another door
Yeah I'm alright,
I'm not perfect like you
but if you had a clue
you know my mental stayes true
so go back to that place
where back where my visions and dreams
chose to stay today
