lyrics
Cause and effect, pause and reflect
The sound of how rawkus it gets
I formed a set to serve, your orders are less
Form is the best at the present, threw my past away
Stranded like in Cast Away, but I'm the one who has the last laugh today
Raised on Raiders and the Cannons when they ran shit
Bounced, couldn't handle it, time to find the manuscript
Changed lanes, enter Sydney
Brain in a smoke cloud, profound, waking up tipsy
Cold world when you're chillin with ice heads
Clouds of dust, clouds of mis-trust and fights bled
Jacked wax, and jacked friends, welcome to the Crack House
Days turned to night and then to days, time to black-out
Time to straight the facts out, my own path
Tainted with a broken heart, nose dived, hoping for a focused start
Drown in ink, watch the pen drip
Friends were lost, a better cost?
Peep the ascension, The Lesson.
(Chorus)
Yeah the saga begins
Maxed out play the track while we're twisting your limb
I don't roll with crims, I roll with the punches
Some play the field dumb
Dazed1 will bum-rush your functions, son
(Repeat chorus)
Stone sober, lived like a stoner
Clean in a field of dreams
Hit for 6, no more a no hoper
Still dope on track though, Rested in SYN and just awoke from the coma
Life line on Soundwave, cue the vibrations
Never hesitate with my dreams - I was sick of waiting
Old friends sit with no patience, and watch the world buy
I watch the world turn, balanced with my third eye
Wrecked a stage as D&F that's in the past though
Flawlezz still fam and in my heart bro
Cue the catalyst, cue the battle shit
Dudes sunk like battle ships
These dudes aren't talented full stop
Focused on their fan page and tweet game then writing raps
Used to fight in packs can't hold their own, fade to mediocracy.
It's to joke to see what hip hop has been
To see the scene now with kids who don't respect the art properly
(Chorus)
Yeah the saga begins
Maxed out play the track while we're twisting your limb
I don't roll with crims, I roll with the punches
Some play the field dumb
Dazed1 will bum-rush your functions, son
(Repeat chorus)
Yeah the saga begins
Backpack with a hoody and Timbs
Or Maxed out play the track while we're twisting your limbs
I don't roll with crims, I roll with the punches
Some play the field dumb Dazed1 will bum-rush your functions, son
Gettin buckwild on track while the ciders drunk
While cyber punks slump and bitch and moan to another one
About the state the scenes in…
I aint a new jack I been around the place man so trust me, I seen things
I payed dues these cats were fucking round in high school
I learnt where we've come from to me the past is vital
While these clowns deserve beat down
They think they're on some new shit listen here and take a seat now
I Bruce banner these cats who think they're street smart
A bunch of retards talking shit but they're sweethearts
And walkin' round these parts won't do much with that talk
Smack tracks like addicts on the catwalk
(Chorus)
Yeah the saga begins
Maxed out play the track while we're twisting your limb
I don't roll with crims, I roll with the punches
Some play the field dumb
Dazed1 will bum-rush your functions, son
(Repeat chorus)
