[Intro]

200 teenagers pack into a rented storefront as the party goes wild. It is 10 o'clock in the morning in South Central Los Angeles. they Should be in school. But this is a ditch party, or DP

The DP's we throw, it's just like to have fun because we're bored of school

We just party, girls, you know, just trying to have fun. Drink!

Everyone is searched at the door, but a few still manage to slip in with weapons


[Verse 1: FDZ]

(Got 20 dollars in my pocket right now)

Splittin 20's, scraping all the pennies up

Drinking anything that we could get to reach a leve buzz

It was heavy enough

Then they had to take the rest of us

Used to ride the MUNI bus, vapor out the back, me and crew would always do them stunts

Down and out tales, on and off sales of my prized possessions

True fucking lessons

Giving up the Wesson never less a possibility

Boosting my ability, I keep a couple j's on me

Plays on weeks stale and on weeks fail

Like a mixed bag, like some wheat stale

But I stay on top of it

Vault it like a locker is, lager is pouring down esophagus

Wait until the drop and then I'm right back where I start again

Damn I can't complain about it

Feelin' no way, got a place I could stay

Like orale, muevete, keep it in motion

Steer away from loc shit

On the way to gold bricks


[Chorus: Mako Pierre]

I found I use this music as a lifeline

Way too much

Either that or with my friends, or a chick, fuckin' up

So I'm silencing the lambs

No more sheep, wake me up

Cause I'm all about it right now

And I ain't fuckin' with you right now

You talk too much

So I had it up to here, now enough is enough, I can feel it in my heart, in my soul, in my gut

This my destiny


[Verse 2: Mako Pierre]

Trying to make it global, delivery beyond postal

The circle is getting skinny so keep it inside the oval

Every song becomes a match and the verses all looking tonal

Lyrics of mass combustion I keep them at my disposal, yeah

Tally up the members (yeah, yeah)

Who ought to listen (let's get it!)

Front and center (aw shit!)

Now I'm your lieutenant (lieutenant!)

And I keep forgetting that my life is shredding (so shitty!)

But the flow stupendous (alright)

And leaves hearts dismembered to pieces all because my heart turned December

To keep art so splendid not too off my rocker

Just a little off balance, ey

Blood on my hands, it's from killin' y'all passion, ey

Face to my Vans and I figured I'll smash his head into the pavement

Until his face cave in, and when I'm spoken of, you'd think summer, Saudi Arabia

To be so transparent, duh, these boys would turn labia

Why these girls favor us?

Ride beats don't need kickstands, y'all act like Toucan Sam

Follow y'all nose with blow

Blame y'all, don't think I can

See y'all just follow the scent that led y'all to where I am

Like rainbows to pots of gold, want Lucky Charms on the neck

Damn, a nigga just wanna be fly now, but lately feeling like a kite under a dark cloud

Nowhere to hide out, the thunder's so loud

To making y'all all proud, to no surprise, yeah

[Chorus: Mako Pierre and FDZ]

I found I use this music as a lifeline

Way too much

Either that or with my friends, or a chick, fuckin' up

So I'm silencing the lambs

No more sheep, wake me up

Cause I'm all about it right now

And I ain't fuckin' with you right now

You talk too much

So I had it up to here, now enough is enough, I can feel it in my heart, in my soul, in my gut

This my destiny


[Outro]

When a fight breaks out around the parking lot, the party is over

Sometimes, it don't end like this you know, you got somebody in the crowd that's bad, so we cannot take it out on everybody, you get what I'm sayin'?

But it doesn't matter, there is always another ditch party, more than ever

I don't know, schools, like, they seem like they don't care about nobody, so why should we care about them?
