[Intro: Declaime, (LMNO), sample]

"...Say that you had a big mouth

And now I understand what they talkin' about! (Big mouth!)"

My title is Declaime, Poet Past The Weak

And we about to toss this microphone around

With my homeboys LMNO and M.E.D. 

That's that how-we-do, that’s that – that funk...

(Declaime, what's up, you first verse?)


[Verse 1]


[Declaime]

My man, Kankick, hate to say it, but he knew best

Give these fake A&R's and wack duck labels a rest

Wash these lame ducks, suck suede like they were Zest

Plaque ass jacks, can’t get the Crest


[LMNO]

No artists, no label, simple as that

Execs payed off the sweat and shirt on your back

Put in a cut, get a cut, it’s money on track

Until they recoup theirs, your money line’s flat


[M.E.D.]

I don’t do rap, rap doing me for the G's

But they sayin’ quiet mouths don’t eat

I’m tryin’ to stay humble, but they bringing out the beast

Instead of hands and feet, we hurt 'em over beats

Success is a weapon and it’s deadly when we speak that

I’m a grown man, I don’t blame who repeat that – peace!


[Chorus: rap sample]

"Straighten it out!"

"I don’t get involved with he said she said

So take my advice and quit while you’re ahead!"

"I don’t get involved with he said she said

So take my advice and quit while you’re ahead!"

"Always got to have your two cents in –"

"Take my advice and quit while you’re ahead!

"Because I don’t get involved" "crawlin' on the ground –

Lookin' for some new dirt to spread around"


[Verse 2]


[LMNO]

Yeah... I spark with adverse times

Giving it a run for its money, I’m no cash dummy

A charger, filling up the battery pack

Glad to be back where I never left, cherish every breath

Tell ’em cut the check, later for the cake

That doesn’t clear debt, not a snap-a-neck threat

But don’t test the blessed, unless...


[M.E.D.]

You was fresh enough to understand correct

That I’m a leader, who never do what y'all expect

I express next shit for the extra check

To expand, we connect like X-Men

L.M.D., hundred proof from the scams that be


[Declaime]

Yo... I paid more dues than slave hands

But, no, no bands – just two turntables and a mic, alright?!

One mission – change up my aim, don’t waste no more ammunition

Hit each target, with precise precision, each incision cuts deep

Wake up and don’t sleep


[LMNO]

Indeed, I choose this path, the math doesn’t always add up

Advances only mean you have to catch up

The glitz and glam is a shifty scam

Ignoring the star you are is a part of the plan


[M.E.D., (LMNO)]

Employee in the office, just part of The Man

Industry ain’t running the game, it’s the fans

Labels keep fading away (Tell 'em)

You can kill the body, but the soul remains (For sure)


[Chorus: rap sample]

"Straighten it out!"

"I don’t get involved with he said she said

So take my advice and quit while you’re ahead!"

"I don’t get involved with he said she said

So take my advice and quit while you’re ahead!"

"Always got to have your two cents in –"

"Take my advice and quit while you’re ahead!

"Because I don’t get involved" "crawlin' on the ground –

Lookin' for some new dirt to spread around"

[Outro 1: LMNO, Declaime]

And who's that on the beat...???

That's that, that fonk


[Outro 2: J.Rocc, whispering]

Girls... all I really want is girls

'Cause in the evening, there's girls

'Cause in the morning, there's girls

'Cause in the evening, there's girls

'Cause in the morning, there's girls...
