[Dr. Lewdachris]

Carrying bags of cement that's hard work

Dealin' with relationships that's hard work

Tryin' to keep my mind together is hard work

Hard work, rackin' my brain huh hard work

My gigantic head is like Castle Grayskull

It seems big to a kid

I feel like an old converse one star

It's time to go we've all come far

Introspective, calm and collected

Deliverance indifference, disconnected

I think about so many dope things to say

When I’m rockin’ it, I never go outta my way

Here's the predicate and I change with the days

Makin the subject connect

I'm an MC now, easier to rock a crowd

So successful I make ya mama proud

Let’s get this clear I can only rap for me

I give you what you wanna hear and

And spit a bullet in your ear

Listening to you talk is like watching a billion insects devour an animal carcass

The hook and the ladder fightin’ fires, hard work

Digesting fast food is hard work

The rate at which I process, hard work

Being this good, huh, hard work

Supersensitive, never rhyme repetitive

I let die and then I’ll let it live

Class one competitive. Crews have early exited

Already made a mockery, sent home when I said it

Everybody's takin' me & my son is the sedative

The brand new menu

Build the bridge then edit it

Isn't it a shame most rappers sound the same

Barely had enough space to say my full name

Blessed in the west booked up

Nevertheless, I took up the quest

Shook up the set with some warm-up reps

Servin’ it cooked up and keepin’ it fresh

Keepin it fresh

Stayin’ in touch with god is hard work

Conceptually duplicating meaning, hard work

Constantly attempting to improve, hard work

Makin' these projects happen hard work

You ain't the only one See I’m kinda wacky too

Lookin' side to side and I’m standing right in back of you

Staring at your feet when you're walking with me

You're not lookin' at me when you’re talkin to me

Now keep on mobbin’ down your block with you walkman

Keep your head together look at me when you talk man

Shootin’ with the hot hand, stroking’ in the zone

Big bad Lewdacris on the microphone

So mischievous, downright devious

Old school Athenians, Poetic ??oblivion??

Don't try and meet me, Don't care what kind of mood you're in

Cruising the Caribbean. Ocean of obsidian

Don't be ridiculous and absurd

I love to puff herb get as high as a bird

Shoestring of licorice, put your foot in your mouth

Everybody knows that I’m from down west

??Punch-in?? like a marching band

Snapped like a rubber band

That's the other man in the family

He's the family man son puttin’ in hard work


[Doctor Lewdachris freestyling]

Everyday, I put it in everyday, hard work

My name is Lewdachris and I’m here to say

I'm the rookie of the year and I’m here to stay

So serious baby I don't play

See I’ll rock your world in a major way

I got the funky fresh rhymes that I know you like

And a golden voice when I get on a mic

Large and in charge makin' sure I’m felt

And my words are so sweet they'll make you melt

That's just an extra one for you

You might have to chop it though

What's up to the crew in the other room?

Doctor Lewdachris will consume the fume

I stepped up inside of the closet

And just got right down to it

I didn’t mean to be on track 2 and attack you

Wack fool, a cartoon, a buffoon

Fat like a baleen aura when I’m playin’ a menorah

The patron saint on the verge of unemployment Jim Moira

You're a contradiction

When my drug kicks in you should invest in a different substance

Doc Lewd playing tetherball at John Muir in 5th grade

I do seek knowledge I went to college

For only one year. Fuck that!

I mean nah that’s good, not school but

Just the way that I’m up in here doin’ my shit
