a rap

[ericg]

here we here we go again
coming up from deep within
live and die and all is zen
wake on up before the end

make some notes for me to send
jsut a special little blend
word on up my dear dear friend
'they know what is what...' but they can't contend
so much pretense and pretend

what else? well it depends
how clear is your lens?
this is where it's gonna lend
a word or two to make amends
speak it now cuz God intends

lost in translation again?
just like an alien
feel you out with e.s.p. 'n' then
i'm gonna start this over, fin

[ericg]

oh and free snowden
code in
wrote in
never redact, it's spoken
don[t !@#$ with me i'm broken
fuck the cia trojan
horse taht ya rode in
smokin'
light it up and i'm tolkien
tell a little story for the folks in
the asylum
put me on trial.. um
i'm the wild one
it's my style son
no denial, none
now i sed it, done

[ericg]

spin doctor, spun
fight until we've won?
life's too precious put down the gun
i'll tell it here just like the son

kick it here just like spawn
it'll come around, the bleeping dawn
so beautiful i think it's on
another day just as long...

switch it up and count your blessings
i go italian when we're talkin' dressings
la viva la bella, tell it, confessing
never ever ever ever ever messing

around
!@#$ the pound
making sense of my own sound
coming up from underground
play it again it's always found
i love the beasties, they're heaven bound
pitch it in ujp ont he mound

get busy
run around you make you all dizzy
follow that sound yeah it's gallespie
in the club we get all 'tipsy'
you know when you're in new york city

play it on up from a to g
create a little melody
count it once and then to three
make some loving harmony

[ericg]

maxin' and relaxin'
up in jacksonville
do it at will
the truth still spills
dont run for the mills
'keep it under quills...'

this here's the deal
it's good for real
if time were a color it would be teal
on i go with this here speil
no one knows just how ill
i get, sweat
make some love cuz it begets
flying high, my private jets
leave private interests to their debts
watch us take over their tv sets
all bets
yankees or mets
no regrets
sing it again, pressure those frets

[ericg]

our waking hour?
things have gone sour
so much (pollution n) greed, not enough (green) power
'are you a highrise or more like a flower?'
kicked out of the police acadamy jsut like hightower
911 emergency, indict with urgency, don't be a coward
remember free fall speed... the explosions went outward

i know what you said, as you slurred
it's a !@#$%^& fact that your'e so absurd
you know what i'm saying, cuz i know you heard
the word
end you now give you the bird

[ericg]

off the grid
this is for sid
many ways to create power.. myriad
don't let them keep them under lid
the planet's getting sick of us, please, let her/ us live
what's the bid?
charlie chaplin, the kid
free at last, period

[ma belle]

I wish I was just like you
Always fuckin' right
I wish I saw it all
In your black and white
But when it's all been done
And when it's all been said
I know where the bullshit starts
Here inside my head

I'm full of bullshit!

Don't laugh too long, brothers
you're just the same
Bullshitting your way
Through the game
But if you learn to handle the head trip
Handle their sneers
See through your bullshit
That's what they fear

You're full of bullshit!

Run with the pack
Nothing to fear
It gives you security
Coz it tells you it's real
But when they turn their back on you
It's no tragedy
Coz all you ever believed in
Is 'do what you will just don't do it to me'

And that's bullshit!

You - you said you had to do it
Because you had no choice
The shit went down
Did you lose your voice
It's so very easy
To live with hypocrisy
You're just a fuckin' actor
Another bullshitter - you're just like me

And that's bullshit
Bullshit brother
Bullshit
Cut the crap.

[ericg]

doo doo rhymin?
tell it in time n
say it again like my man here simon

'i don't need friends who act like foes...'
my mission here is to drop some prose
this here rhymes cuz it just knows...
a rhyme on deck up here at bo's
hit a home run, see how it flows
know how it goes
watch how it grows
have another beer down here at moes?

another war episode
lock and load
no winners there, you got tic tac toed
i'm like jack kerouac and i'm back on the road
...

[ericg]

edit:

maxin' and relaxin'
in jacksonville
i throw the facts down and rhyme at will
come around here the truth will spill
the glass is full so get your fill
pls dont run that way for the mill
yes it's time so take the red pill
learn how to learn, it's a high paying skill
just like the wise old owl ... still
keep it under wraps or write high with my quill
(the buck stops here so don't pass that (counterfeit) bill/ act on the environment, please pass that (hemp) bill/ please say no to trump, hillary and bill)

this here's the deal
jet fuel still can't melt steel
get real
tell me now, how do you feel?
if this were a color it would be teal
on i go with this here spiel
no one knows just how ill
i get, sweat
make some love cuz it begets
all bets
yankees, mets
no regrets
sing it again, pressure those frets
...

[ericg]

no lies
(they'll compromise)
come comprised
of the truth ... there's just one size...

this here is for all you spies
listen up cuz it all ties
together.. the weather, don't !@#$ with leather (because agriculture is one of the biggest causes of climate change...)

play a !@#$%^&*()_+ chord
save the bounty get a/ it's its own reward...

i'll come around yes but i don't abide
by your ish, that's all youve got inside

[ericg]

are you a !@#$%^&* math major or do you just like problems
he'll figure you out, mr henry rollins/ you can't figure ish out, you just keep on stallin'
you try so hard but you'll never absolve'em
you don't fly high, you're just one of the fallen
ballin
this here's my callin
grow like a flower with lots of pollen
be and/ or bust, just like dolly parton

ringadingding
this vibe i'll ping
golliath will fall, make david a sling
move it now my favorite is swing-time
so sublime
honor thy mother n father always be kind
thou shall not kill, tell me, are you deaf, dumb, and blind?
saw heaven and then i climbed
...

signed
this is the key to open your mind
find
that it all rhymed
yes indeed, it's still all primed
lined up
and that's a cut?

MCA Date: 08202006 (just gonna jump the gun here...)
take some time out to celebrate
a dope dope man with a mic and a record crate...
pay my respects, i'm sure you all can relate

an old school icon ahead of his time...
always coming true showing us the divine...
thanks to him we'll all find/ remind
what things stand for, heart, soul and mind

he made sense so well
climbed to the top then he rang the bell
so so much that he wanted to tell
he/ we can rest in peace, his thoughts were from heaven, not hell

what else can i say during this spell
beasties are second to none, yeah you know this well
(thanks for the inspiration, it's guided us well)
...

hornblower did it
and he saw that it was good
kept/ true to the spirit
esp down in the hood

binary in two's, make some pairings

a cup of tea
out at sea
admire it all, then go emcee

just a note
so i can cope
wrote it down/ so so heavy, but it will float
carry it far in my boat
circle the globe with much much hope
...

"workin' on the record y'all so just stay patient"
so much racism gettin' us bent

love for all, it was heaven sent
(put your glasses on/ take your glasses off, are you dmc or are you clark kent)
...
