Heart No More 0fficial lyrics




 (Verse 1)

Facing the blues. Making the music to face the blues to. Face the music, I said. They told me to make the music to face the music... to. Like "...be murdered by". You could be murdered by me on the mic, but it's peace. See how I'm bleeding from the heart to give peace? Seeing the start of it was music, I go back to what I was doing. And I'm bleeding in the palm of my hand, heart beating on and on again. So I'm speaking on what got me bleeding from the beginning, which is the peace I offer to begin with. A sentence, living in it, until I'm winded. You dig? 


(Hook)

I have an emergency. 

I can't feel my heart no more. 


All I have is my mind, you see? 

And I can feel it walking out the front door. 


Yeah. 


(Verse 2)

I kind of lost it. Her vagina in the faucet. Dipping from my chin, kissing it again and again. She licked it off my tongue. She's with it. "Charles, you the one!" I dig it. Charles Hamilton, on a sink with a chick who needs to begin drinking. I got your back until the end. Sipping like a reptilian. Yes, till the end. My weapon says it's effervescent, so anybody coming around has yet to see the end. And their destiny will be met. For you, though. Musical judo. If you don't roll, sue you. 


(Hook)

I have an emergency. 

I can't feel my heart no more. 


All I have is my mind, you see? 

And I can feel it walking out the front door. 


Yeah. 


(Verse 3)

Collective Soul, where do I want this lecture to go? To the top of the toes. And whoever knows that I got the flow to make it all come through. An awesome move. Come chill with me, while I build. For real, the scene is type ill. You'll feel me. You'll feel mean. And we'll feel mean together when we believe these other MCs and producers are in tune with true shit. I wish we could do what we do with to. Too official. Baby, I'm moving with you. Not even moving, but who's the issue? Spiritual. 


(Hook)

I have an emergency. 

I can't feel my heart no more. 


All I have is my mind, you see? 

And I can feel it walking out the front door. 


Yeah.

Queen's Cocaine 0fficial lyrics


 



This morning King Charles... 


(Verse 1)

It's an innocent vibe. Whether we kissing over the phone... "...through the phone", like an enemy of mine... or I'm digging in between your thighs... I'm pleasing me by pleasing thee. I need to be quite free for me to miss you. Indeed, that be the issue. The beats with me and missing you, kisses you... my reflection is bad. Take a little minute to reflect on just what we have. Must we clash? I hate when it happens. So I'm taking the magic and making some madness for you to bang to. Dangerous.


(Hook)

I see you in my reflection, you are all in my face. 

I see you as my reflection. 

Let's get out of this place. 


(Verse 2)

Whether you consider it lust or love, it's what was just for both of us. I woke up, you spoke up. I know too much. You hold what I hold as a secret and release the deep kiss. Sweating. Not even a wedding. Not even Redding. Otis, I have to beheaded. Whatever it is, it's not even a lotus for me to kiss and cherish. A different chair you sit in, a different chair you sit on. A different position, I care and get on about my day. Once I see that you're fine and you're fine like me. Finally. Must you be like me? 


(Hook)

I see you in my reflection, you are all in my face. 

I see you as my reflection. 

Let's get out of this place. 


(Verse 3)

My rage can kill, so I'm taking pills. Baby, I need to stay still for my lady. I need you. Be there for me. Regardless of my therapy, all the love that I dare to see is bottled up and right here with me. Sip it to get by. No kisses. No distance between you and I. Just missions I gotta embark on. Mission complete, all I wish to get when I drift in the street. I'm glad that you listen to me. I just need a kiss from thee. If it's different, peace. I hope you find peace with me. 


(Hook)

I see you in my reflection, you are all in my face. 

I see you as my reflection. 

Let's get out of this place. 





To have a Queen in THIS kingdom, boy.........

Weirdo Tings 0fficial lyrics


 


What I gotta do to let y'all niggas know? I am the nicest ever. Hardcore, commercial, what you wanna do? You wanna wile out? You wanna dance? Don't matter to me, I got all that time, baby...


(Hook)

Still not over you, baby.

Gotta get over you, baby. 


Gotta get it right. 


You're not in my life. 


I got to get over you, baby. 


(Verse 1)

More passion is death. I ain't even askin' for sex. Askin' for rest for the rest of my life. When I choose to. In between time, I'm makin' music. I'm crucial. I'm Essential Worker. When it come to makin' music, my credentials make it essential for this murder. Who's up now? Don't let me catch your ass uptown. I would rather that, but now, I'ma chill, cause you got mad stuff around. People wanna block me. Indeed, I'm feelin' cocky. Sayin' what I need to say regardless, so play regardless, and you'll meet the rocks of The Earth. 


(Hook)

Still not over you, baby.

Gotta get over you, baby. 


Gotta get it right. 


You're not in my life. 


I got to get over you, baby. 


(Verse 2)

I shine and I'm intelligent. Blinding every reverend behind me. By me, lookin' ahead. Back then. Look at where I be. Indeed, I'm fly. The reason why? I don't need Jesus to define why I sin. I'm my reason. Sippin' on wine like "what was he doin' then?" Just believe in a sin of then. Every day indeed could be November 10th. December 25th. Every day, November 25th. Ungh! November 10th, then. Listen to me get it in with my chin. Inviting. You get it? Stipend. Until then, no writing. 


(Hook)

Still not over you, baby.

Gotta get over you, baby. 


Gotta get it right. 


You're not in my life. 


I got to get over you, baby. 


(Verse 3)

Every song is the greatest hit. Were you made to sit and listen? Please, grin. Let me be the reason. The deepest sin. I made a different pact now. The shit I have now is what you call entertainment. Charles gettin' strange for a little bit. Not doin' somethin' strange for some chump change. Just aimin' at different. Like Andre. 3000, The way I play. Wildin', I guess, but I'm pushin' it. Q-tip, if you look at it. On a bunch of wax. Niggas said they jumpin' back. Wow.


(Hook)

Still not over you, baby.

Gotta get over you, baby. 


Gotta get it right. 


You're not in my life. 


I got to get over you, baby. 





You still do it for me, Beloved...

Sweet Extc 0fficial lyrics


 


(Verse 1)

As I take the time to design the rhyme, I'm designing the perfect female for I. Almost like Rihanna, but we can't go down that path, now can we? Morningside, my type of park. When it gets quite dark, I like to fight in the park. Let niggas know I'm ready to go and never will go. I'm headed to wherever they blow. Wherever they go when they blow, that's where I'm headed. Then I'm headed home. Maybe my lady will be there. A nightmare. She there, with a he there... She cheating on me because I'm not treating her to all that rapper stuff. Maybe it's fuck her, but I'm a sucker. It's just her for me perfectly. 


(Hook)

All I want is you next to me. 

All I want is you next to me. 

All I want is you next to me. 


Give me all that you got to give. 


(Verse 2)

Can you hear the urgency? It's an emergency. I'm alone trying to create the perfect she. Could she murder beats like me? Could she make beats for me to murder? Would she provide the bail if I go to jail again? The perfect she for me says she will never speak to me again if I go to jail again. Where is she then? Wailers, with Bob. I might need more than one female to get this part. Hip-Hop'll dig it. Polytheism. I know multiple gods, but they Goddesses, rocking with me. I gotta watch them while they tick tock in the system. Fuck viral. No viruses. Silence is my virus and violence. 


(Hook)

All I want is you next to me. 

All I want is you next to me. 

All I want is you next to me. 


Give me all that you got to give. 


(Verse 3)

Provided such violence leads the sirens. Viral flicks. I'm trying to spit. Trying to survive in a climate where I'm the shit, but not quite the shit. Cause I ain't with them guys that's getting chips. Fuck money even though it's necessary. But when I'm with you, it don't make much of a difference because the silence is why and while we getting it in? Not even screaming or moaning. Deep in our souls here we go till 3 in the morning. The next day. Then 3 in the afternoon when I get a nooner. Come up to your job. Hit it while you're working..." for certain. The virgin is causing you squirting. Blurting berserk shit. Perfect. Hopefully the wordsmith says. 


(Hook)

All I want is you next to me. 

All I want is you next to me. 

All I want is you next to me. 


Give me all that you got to give.

Smart TVs 0fficial lyrics



Charles Hamilton. 

Dr. Dre. 

Aliens exist. 

Right this way! 

Ungh, ungh! 


Let's get it. 


Yo, 


(Verse 1)

you want someone to make you feel a groove you provide, in the deepest way. It's you and I. SEGA. We make Love. It may take a day or such for others to wake up. Bake up and it's not enough. We are 8, love. 4 from me. 2 of y'all. 2 in between. Shit, I may have gone too deep. Read in between the lines of our sheets. We give birth to Danger. And Crash when we take a bath. Everything else is just ancient, and that's my ass. 


(Hook)

Turn this night to the after party.

Turn this life to the after party. 

Baby, you know what I mean.

Turn this life to the after party


Turn this night to the after party.

Turn this night to the after party. 

Baby, you know what I mean. 


Every night is the after party.


Let's go!


(Verse 2)

Everything between us must be Satanic, and I can't take away the Spanish I'm speaking. But damn it, I've been banished, because I've been candidly speaking. So the dandruff that I'm allowing to drop from my teeth, are not as hot as the speech on loud. I hope you understand me and feel me deeper than now. I need you right now. I see you right now. You're holding my arm, but baby, hold on! I'm on your damn song! And I'm trying to get so strong, if I hold you, oh my God, what I'm gonna do! But, I gotta save it. Maybe the night that they're waiting for us to get laid in, isn't enough. Maybe we can cancel the day Either way, come dance my way. 


(Hook)

Turn this night to the after party.

Turn this life to the after party. 

Baby, you know what I mean.

Turn this life to the after party


Turn this night to the after party.

Turn this night to the after party. 

Baby, you know what I mean. 


Every night is the after party.


Let's go!


(Verse 3)

I'ma bust that ass like you Rosa Parks. Hold that part, because I'm kinda going off the noggin, not knowing if I'm smart. But baby, these TVs got these humans beasting to be me, or see see me, or wait for me to do something OD. Like what I wanna do in, on, and with you. Bitch, I want to kiss you! This could get more than metaphysical. Unphysical, if you don't wanna listen to it... you still don't know if these little quotes are enough to have you inside of my pod. Pad. Hot. That's that. Hold it in, ungh. The beat so dope. The flow's so dope. I'm holding the Christmas of you and I. Go.


I love you, baby mama!!!


(Hook)

Turn this night to the after party.

Turn this life to the after party. 

Baby, you know what I mean.

Turn this life to the after party


Turn this night to the after party.

Turn this night to the after party. 

Baby, you know what I mean. 


Every night is the after party.


Let's go!

Keep On 0fficial lyrics


 (Intro)
Keep on gettin' down.
Keep on gettin' down.
The Lord told me...

(Hook)
French kissing vampires. The stench, getting the man's ire. I demand me who your sire to reach for retirement. I've been there, done that. You want that? I sin there. It's in there. The very devil I am, the location you dare want to... scream to. Damn you can't stand you. I cram to understand you. But I don't need to cram. I OD, my man. Where have you gone? Where have you ran to? A new shampoo. What I came to do. A psychic game. It's not a game, but it's a game to me. 

(Hook)
Keep on getting down. 
Keep on getting down. God told me, 
"Keep on getting down." 

Keep on getting down. 

The Lord told me, "Keep on getting down." 

Keep on getting down. 

Jesus told me,
"Keep on getting down."

Keep on getting down.

(Verse 2)
I sat my cancer on a drumstick. It wanted to sit on the site. Seat said, "no, it wasn't me. Not enough to be what you wanted to see. What you wonder from me? The wonder is a disease and I don't even want it. You want it? Coming with me is you. You got it now. You've gotten. The disease is love. You Bobby Brown, I'm Whitney. The crack was between us is the music. Happens to be what is abusive and amusing to the very ambition of YOU, bitch. What are YOU doing? You found a deep particular side of you. I found a society. And I'm proud to move when they want to move. 

(Verse 3)
Oh boy, I get down. Destroy whatever's around. Ain't nobody better than now. I got a new past which I groove to. Who's that tryna groove with me? You kind of lost in the new movement, ya Sse. You targeted me, cause you think you the smartest can be. I'm smarter than crack as a whip. How about that? Does bitch? Now, what you driving? Hustling your minds.Just what's behind you. You got somebody watching. You gonna tag in or you gonna get body by the option? Just keep watching. Motherfuckers. 

(Hook)
Keep on getting down. 
Keep on getting down. God told me, 
"Keep on getting down." 

Keep on getting down. 

The Lord told me, "Keep on getting down." 

Keep on getting down. 

Jesus told me,
"Keep on getting down."

Keep on getting down.

I Forgot How To Shine! 0fficial lyrics





Momma would kill me, momma would kill me, yeah. 

Momma would kill me, momma would kill me, yeah! 


Columbine GANG shit!


My roommate probably pissed at me by now. It's all love.


Mama would kill me! I got 'em. I'm guilty! I forgot how to shine though! I ain't forget how to rhyme, bottom line. Bottoming out a lot of guys. They gotta climb a whole ladder of success... dynamite. Kinda like why I like to write, but I don't like to write. Keep it explosive. My secret, let's go in and know it. I'm the illest. I get dead every so often. Dead ass, get my head every so often. Get head? nah. I get dead head nods. They noddin the beats that ain't even dropped the craziest hotness. So make me a baby and make me stop it if you control time and life. Like an old school radio commercial... with the old jams? Go ahead, I make focus joints the slow jam... to. 


What the hell can I be? 

What the hell can I know? 

Where the hell can I be? 

They say go, go, but what the hell do I know? 


They all say don't stop. 


Momma would kill me, like I got a white woman pregnant. Let's look again. How you forget to shine? You be giving rhymes, making them beats that bitches and niggas grind to, So how you forget to shine? I'm like, "ma, I been in my mind. It been getting on my nerves while I been getting on my grind. They don't understand I take time to take time to make rhymes that's great. If they don't like it, then hey, face it. They don't like greatness nowadays." Your top five MCs ain't facing no kind of day, but they're facing vacation time. They work away at my nerves. Get them paid, they get away. I get away killing them anyway. Every day Gotta be a goat at some point in time. Some point at rhyming, see that's why these kids annoying. 


What the hell can I be? 

What the hell can I know? 

Where the hell can I be? 

They say go, go, but what the hell do I know? 


They all say don't stop.


Momma would kill me. I'm anti-Kanye. "How the fuck you got in the building?" Still the most opulent children rock with me, because they know it's just honest and feelings. Honesty spilling out of my limbs. What can I do to be more appealing? Gotta appealing to them. I call them gods. They all on the top of my noggin. All of them should stop. Why? Because you can't be my main thought. My main thought is music and my girl, the main course. Licking and eating. Of course she likes it. I don't know if she likes me, but the force is spiking it. One of these days and evenings, I'll make it safe to believe in me. Until then, look, there's somebody coming. Like we having sex. I'm only in stomach. You hear knocking. 


What the hell can I be? 

What the hell can I know? 

Where the hell can I be? 

They say go, go, but what the hell do I know? 


They all say don't stop.

(Intro)

Preemo, I know!

I'm a little late.
Get my situation together... with the quickness. 

Y'all know. 

(Verse 1)

Breathe in, breathe out. Miyagi on the beat. Be the beat, be the ball. Out of the house, try to guard me. In and out of the mouth. Mouthing guards. Teething guards. Ya babies! Trying to be where I was. No sight to be seen. Crossed over. Ladies are like, "you lost your offense". I'm like, "please! You on D, trying to guard me while I'm falling asleep on a beat." What does it mean? Having a dream, I'm spitting the illest shit you ever heard. Let it be a nightmare if you a MC. I dare you come against me. How dare you? Like you crossed my path. CH, two letters that tossed your ass in a bath. 

(Hook)

I'm the right one to rock this mic. 

This mic and any mic I'm on. 


I'm the right one to rock this mic.

This mic and any mic I'm on. 


I'm the right one to rock this mic. 

This mic and any mic I'm on. 


I'm the right one to rock this mic. 

This mic and EVERY mic I'm on. 


Come on. 


(Verse 2)

Nigga, training day. Basically, stay away. What you have, save it for me, and maybe you can face another day. Till then, you owe dough. Photo. I don't need money, but I need money, so mo dough. Case closed. People know that when it comes to dough, I do need a makeover. Do over. I explained it moments ago, but you would need a brain to get. As you sit refraining from saying, "this is the lamest shit". I got you. I need a cane, you dig? Walking with my lover in the snow. Only motherfuckers that know would get up with me, but then I'm stuck. We lost in history, but still, I don't give a fuck! 


(Hook)

I'm the right one to rock this mic. 

This mic and any mic I'm on. 


I'm the right one to rock this mic.

This mic and any mic I'm on. 


I'm the right one to rock this mic. 

This mic and any mic I'm on. 


I'm the right one to rock this mic. 

This mic and EVERY mic I'm on. 


Come on.

The Magic Number 0fficial lyrics

^

(Hook)
Man and a woman had a little baby.
There were three in the family. 

And that's the magic number.

There were three in the family. 

And that's the magic number. 

(Verse 1)
Places I dare to go, when there's the air to blow. Whenever blowing it down with my heir with the dro, stereo knows I dare to go. And there I go. I gotta stand still. 10 toes down, windows down. Drive-by style, I'm now wildin' out. Anybody on my island? Get down. Notice that I'm aiming at anybody focusing on my statements to make them anything other than an omen or a prayer to the lady in the air. I dare reveal you again. Because I wanna feel you again. I wanna make you a secret and make my nerves steel again. You feel the proof. 

(Hook)
Man and a woman had a little baby.
There were three in the family. 

And that's the magic number.

There were three in the family. 

And that's the magic number. 

(Verse 2)
And still you the proof of the real silly things I do. Put a lady in charge, that'd be enough to save a yard. Have her happy enough to play the yard with me in a game of role playing. I'll be the dangerous at a BC. She would be the punk and in a moment or two she would be the one to reverse it. One, two, verse it. Make it perfect. Song of Solomon, strong lovin' and not giving a fuck about anybody following. Unless our daughter and... in your case, a son who has no problem gobbling. And if he does not, I win. Then again...

(Hook)
Man and a woman had a little baby.
There were three in the family. 

And that's the magic number.

There were three in the family. 

And that's the magic number.

Deep Space Boogie 0fficial lyrics


(verse 1)

Set the engines to go when the wind knows it's out the window. We cause it, drifting in space in a different way. Innocence displayed. Ignorance at its dismay. Magic is the display. Anybody want to do the Kid-n-Play while I spit so ridiculously. Feel it in the rhythm, now. Fill in the blank. Mad lib. Dilla, in the window. How much for that doggy? You can't talk to me about the cost. It's all free from the spirit. But that dog is with me. And all those across the stars who are crawling with me. We all are babies. 

(hook)

"Nigga, right back atchya!
(Fuck me? Fuck you! Nigga, that's the same thing you do to me!)

Nigga, right back atchya!

All I do is love you...

That's tit-for-tat!
I'm giving you this, for that.

Nigga right back atchya!"


(verse 2)
Interstellar 5555! Pardon me, while I mind my mind. Pornographically, there's static. But tragedies lead to madness in love! Sex that you can't take away from. Being a baseline to the drum. Seeing the face of the bass as me. I am The One. Now, get down! 2-infinity! Move through this industry end(lessly). Feel it and go. Fill in the blanks! I kill it with the "flow". Billy Banks. Really? Thanks. Gotta get the Spirit out! MCs, I gotta spank. Throw 'em all in a boat. Throw 'em off the boat. They in a moat mote).

Rip Hamilton retired. Get it? Damn, I'm spitting fire. Handle the desire every time it's handed to me. Damn, a groupie wanna get down with me. Throw it back. Make it clap. Make it jiggle. Gotta laugh at the fact. Here's a giggle. Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. My block. Chuck now block (Knoblauch). Charlie in the stars saying I'm not hot. Talkin' 'bout her and never me. I am the *C* celebrity. Better believe it. Groove to the baseline. Move your waist cause I don't waste time. Broud sit on my face, cause you're mine. I done took up your time. You're now safe.

Toxic model-inity




I'm definitely grooming better than I have in the last 4-5 years. I've always been a "stinky boy" at heart, but being in a house w 20 other niggas made me get slick about not showering and changing clothes.

Call it homophobia, call it "survivor's guilt" (or whatever)... I just don't want too much interaction with men. 

Y'all just gonna have to take that.

In these last 4-5 years, I have made some SOLID male friends. In fact, I've made some solid (male) friends my whole life. I just "got too weird" and "spacey" for niggas and they are tired of me explaining stuff that is beyond their comprehension.



So am I, beloved.

The Anti-Socialite


The Witch is back in town!

I have no guilt about being a witch, because I am not out to hurt anyone. In fact, I'm giving myself another outlet of expression. Everything I've been doing and saying is magic. And out of love and respect for the craft, I don't do it everyday.

Today is an exception.

The Sun is out, the breeze is gentle yet stern, my neighbors are wonderful... yet there's still a whole acre of shit to clarify and discuss. I am simply NOT READY to expose certain things/have my people face certain scrutiny. Granted they put themselves out there, they have to put forth what/who it is they are.

Magic became my self-defense, when everyone wanted a piece of me. No one even knew why they hated me so bad. And all I've been trained to do is fuel their rage. Many people got cussed out following the #unwritten #JiggaDoctrine. Listen. I know you can see what I see (said in a retarded kid's voice). I'm not comfortable with it either. This is why Dilla is in power. You don't think I'm capable of handling galactical business on my own, and I gave him said authority so I be free as a teen. Not that I'm even ready now, but don't disrespect me for something you know NOTHING about.

I see you, bitch.




So today is spent sending charms and spikes at all those who deserve either.

So mote it be.

A Monday Morning Crossroads

^
^
^
If you've been keeping up, I've been giving God all the glory, honor and praise that I may have earned myself. I find it to be easier on my heart and mind, and God wouldn't have it any other way. I also know that God knows where I stand with SEGA. And Nintendo, for that matter.

To me, and sometimes for me, SEGA is the quintessential element of life. EXISTENCE. SEGA is an element like water. Force, even. All you guys making beats with force in it PRETTY MUCH owe SEGA for all your success. In a strange twist, such SEGA-based practices (in music) is what keeps many OUT of the spotlight. It takes knowledge of #Nintendo to make a hit record/have an illustrious career. 

Even with knowledge of #TheN, I still choose and chose to stick by SEGA. 
I felt it was the only right thing to do..

This battle is as apparent as Bloods and Crips. Color lines are drawn. Alliances made. Sacrifices tossed. You're either in or you're out. Dr. Dre is in. DiBia$e is out. For the same reason one would be out and the other would be in. Complex? Find God.

I remember finding SEGA in Heaven. At the bottom of a wishing well in Heaven. I ran to report it to God, but one of my cohorts were already causing a scene when I made it to Him (😈). Long story short, following behind friends is how I ended up on Earth to begin with. 

Much like most sperm cells. 
I just have at least 2 pairs of eyes watching my development, from Sun up to "Gun, down!".



I posted a pic of a young Mom. On X. I don't regret it, but she took over the timeline. lol I wonder what she'd do on the blog...






Let me try to find another pic of Ms. Talise...
