Verse 1 I step live on the entrance like it's been a long time missin' in reality it's just a short distance/ from here to the stage a straight line is the quickest, give math problems when our worth multiplies the digits/ what are you ignant? in an instant speech spoke light is shown in it still black is the pigment/ and I'm here to do what the hell I intended fuck if you like it I write it for the pioneers to dig it/ wrote for future tradition this will live long after I'm gone in 3030 we gon' be the illest/ word to Bruce Willis MC's get crushed under feet with a vengeance & Die Hard in each sentence/ the sound is recommended my speed limit isn't you'll hydroplane on the flow yo out of control collision/ so pump your brakes if you fail to mention the 2 henchmen that will make you throw a few fits in conniption/- Verse 2 when the scene seems hopeless the team redeems focus with a motive didn't think we'd take notice/ so we return like Hocus Pocus 'shim shim la bim' behind a puff of cloud that we be smokin'/ y'all rappers are the lowest Bill & Ted bogus who lack in rap & a potent dosage of dopeness/ while we are the coldest don't ever try & hoe us the baby powder pimp slap fast strike like a cobras/ on G.I. Joe soldiers become the globe holders come clean off the top attacking your head & shoulders/ pro tree blowers gives the poetry motors big beef MC's become poultry flow-ers/ creative cadence for the culture captivates dispose of posers, the black shed light for exposure/ you don't know a/Noah mic totter to bring beast lines in 2's & 3's it's the flood over beats/- Verse 3 we not to be confused or crossed with these other dudes it's the 2nd coming of mics the 1st a prelude/ my mind travels through my arm to hand that holds the pen from then it's a continuation/ like a foul violation in the act of makin' raisin' stakes in conversation over instrumentation/ And 1 gotta re-think his occupation heart gets to racin' he gets lost in translation/ the ones that this finds will be in exact correlation with Hip Hop manifestation a festation/ so break out from the typical still our offerings are minimal compared to the bigger picture visuals/ fuck that turn wack thug rap to crash dummy & flip you the bird man & not the one from cash money/ Ill that's Ill still so real I'm Ice Cube in Grand Theft nigga I kill at will/wheel/-

Verse 1 Keepin' my head above water, makin' a way when I last a day & celebrate a minute past midnight/ brace yourself, no orthodontist tomorrow's not promised that line 'bout as shockin' as the Amish/ don't hold it against me, I go where the beat leads & try to stay between where the kick & the snare greets/ it gives direction, the over tones full of grief sounds like hard work on it's way to eternal sleep/ I mean, the last few albums was wrote in the recession & it became a part of life in the reflection/ & in essence here it is at the end of my pen again yo how refreshin'/ Chorus: It seems we can't stop the happenin' now what's happenin' now what was happenin' then will be happenin' again X2 Verse 2 The crime wave in the D, probably poverty obviously media said worse in the country/ elect politicians, with bad intentions don't say enough about the city that we love to mention/ & uphold we look for hope in sports teams to redeem some of it's gleam music scene car seen with a shine sheen/ from the big 3 wanting a smooth ride but there's holes in the streets/ and they match the holes in my jeans under work under paid seems to be a re-occurring theme/ that buck that bought the bottle coulda struck got me more drunk quicker takin' bigger swollow/ I say the sky is colorless, they say it's grey 50 shades then it fades to black haze/- Chorus: It seems we can't stop the happenin' now what's happenin' now what was happenin' then will be happenin' again X2

Can You...? 02:58
Hook: Can You Dig it!?! x4 Verse In a fight for his life in the dark streets of night when freaks litter the city with plenty motives to strike/ he needed cash fast and hit the ATM them came across another who was just as desperate as him/ trapped him in a corner alley and said ya money or ya life just then a reflection of the steel from his knife/ he couldn't let it go since it wasn't his doe he was in another death debt with someone he owed/ cellular phone rang which caused a distraction a couple words off before the robber got to slashin'/ on the ground scrappin' shit happened so quick blade came between 'em and the robber fell on it/ dude panics threw the body in the trunk called his connect blood sweat thump his heart pump/ said I Cypress Hilled a man & I need to get rid of it I need a hole to bury 'em quick & I was wondering... Hook: Can You Dig It? x4 Verse 2 Wheeler the drug dealer coat dope lined interior who'd cut bacon off your back if you a pig squealer/ who then was layin' low since the go from his P.O. said if he violent again a small stint of 2 to 4/ rang in his head like a phone un-answered still has the need for greed to see c-notes get transferred/ thinkin' that he called a client heard his voice on the other end said you're being robbed and thought that meant him/ dropped the phone loss of words coughed the erb loaded the mossburg & kept his eye on the curb/ a half hour passed, an unfamiliar car passed door slammed headed to his house a man ran fast/ one word wait! then gun blast his mouth dropped too bad he already blew off half his ass/ saw he had a missed call peeped the voice mail & planned for a minute the last words he heard from his man was..... Hook: CAN YOU DIG IT!?! x4
