Lyrics of the Week

Week of March 7th
Asher Roth - "More Cowbell"

We know a lot of people hate on Asher but as far as rhyming goes, he has to be one of the better emcees in the game. He has a way of not only telling a story but making it all rhyme perfectly and a lot of the time it seems like the words he uses should not rhyme as well as he makes them. So this is why we chose "More Cowbell" for our Lyrics of the Week.

"More Cowbell"



"In the meadows where we grow the rose petals,
And we sip a glass of Merlot,
While I blow the Portabello,

Like Cruello with a Cigarillo"
"Oh you didn't know little homie flow?,
He a pro, Use a little more,
You's a little slow, how slow?,
Little Kelso.
Smoking elbows?,
If so, let me know I'll just give you my cell phone,

Hell froze, Elmo, I'm sticking like Velcro"
"But this dog's off his leash,
I'm showin yall my teeth when I speak,

Yeah, I mean I bring Prometheus heat,
Lean in your seat,
You'd think that they'd be leaping to see,
A commercial MC keep an ear to the street"
"But this song ain't done yet, so son you start marching,
A marksman, Part Marge, Part Bart Simpson,
But the other parts Descartes, Bars is raw wisdom,
My boss art? I talk part of a larger mission,
But you'd rather slack off with Sharks than pay attention"
"So finish, Bustin' Ass, Snuffaluf-gas,
In the cab huffin' grass, Fuck it I puff puff pass,

Enough of that, Oughta buy out the suckerin' succotash, Sup With Ash?"

"Now how you want to pay for that? Straight cash,

Evil Laugh,
Yeah, I've been playing phone tag for the last,
6 months with my label, Tell them fools to call me back"
"Fade away, Himalayan retreat to find me,
Good grief. Loose leaf? I treat it like Bruce Lee,
Who's he? Why y'all keep seeing truth in 2D?,
My speech be like I mixed Rufies with Kool Keith"

Eminem Ft. Slaughterhouse & Yelawolf - "2.0 Boys"


We knew the instant this track dropped earlier this week it would be our Lyrics of the Week. All these dudes are on a different level lyrically and you can see why Slim signed them all to Shady Records. Neither Slaughterhouse nor Yelawolf were on top of the game at the time but Em doesn’t see that, you can tell he looks at lyrical ability and in that case, there is not to many emcees better than this group. Usually when Em's on a track his verse sticks out but on this song every verse is so ridiculous.

"2.0 Boys" Lyrics

Royce Da 5'9''
"Ryan’s a homocidal misfit,
I write the solution of biophysics,
On the side of a cliff in some hieroglyphics,
This my admission"

"Quick devour polish it, politics, by the way I’m higher than the Eiffel tower tip,
I like writing but I will stick this pencil in your ass before I write ya shit"


"Pause, inhale hella kush, us and Yealwolf like a heavy foot gas pedal push,
Felon’s, crooks, going door to door like he’s selling books, Dolly Parton style, melons mush"

Eminem
"Shit, shit, you could muster up enough thought, to take a dump and a brain fart"

"Illuminati is here, yeah, human oddities,
At odds with us, just whats gotta be"


"And as for these hoes who don’t know me from a can of paint,
You must be huffin’, f-ck a ballsack if the taints can’t take you on a date,
You mistake me for a gentleman, your 2000 and late man, Will-I-aint"
"I’m the bad guy, type of guy that will drag 5 girls up on stage
Pour ice in their pants and the first one who pee’s gets a black eye"


Joell Ortiz
"Puffing loosies, watching I Love Lucy with Gary Busey"

"Nickel, I just picked up a Phantom, look how it Rolls, Royce!,
Even if I want to quit, I ain’t got no choice,
Verses keep coming, I should invoice my own voice,
You should see the kind of asses that my pole hoist,
Hoes be like diamonds in your chain, man, so moist"


"Bang bang, bang bang, house gang, chainsaw,
Here to kill you pussy’s, don’t ask what we came for,
I write til my right arm vein’s sore,
Forearm feel like Thor’s arm in a gang war"


"Piranha mentality with a jaws bite all night,
Coming up, never saw light, but never lost sight"


Joe Budden
"Jets and movers, cess-poolers, meth abusers,
You step to us, tech’s, rugers to respect the shooters"

"My men think in sync, roll with the best crew,
Move to the beat of the same drum without Lex Luger"


"Guard your jewels and avoid large tools,
Cause after I spill you at the light, you be in a car pool"


"Keep your distance from idiots, cause the truth told,
They food for thought’s rotten, they gems are fool’s gold"


"Talking funds, n-ggas ain’t never seen stock,
I don’t need the key to the game, I pick a mean lock"

Crooked I
"Takeoff, you invited inside of the mind of a psychotic rhymer,
I’m kind of a Dahmer, I’m grinding,
Now rappers are lining up jackers, I’m climbing up ladders,
I buy enough clappers to retire you factors, fire at drama
You liars and actors"


"Tell me when and I’m there,
Not only heir to the throne, but my chair is suspended in air,
Stay fly like a limited fare,
You got us pegged wrong, my circle don’t fit in with squares"


"I smell shit and piss, know where it’s coming from,
You stepped on number two just to be number one,
Now I’ma step on you"


"You frauds just blow hard like broads, I coast guard the west,
I’m Mozart, I compose dark shit with no heart"

Yelawolf
"I got Jim Beam in the liver,
Getting head like clean clippers,
With haters on my dick like a jeans zipper,
When I throw up 16′s like I drink liquor,
You think you seen sick? Well, bitch, you ain’t seen sicker"


"But when you win, they say you a sin, but in the end,
They jump on the bandwagon and dance to the band playing,
Skinny-ass pants sagging, it’s only yourself you playing,
Call me a clown, but you love what the clown’s sanging,
And the freakshow’s at the county carnival then you payin’"


"Yelling “Go Shady” driving slower than an old lady,
In an old eighty nine, no piece if you pay me,
Gimme peace sign on my grill, no Mercedes,
I’m getting paid for these shows that I throw lately,
Same shows a year ago woulda broken most of you crazies"


"You ain’t f-cking wit’ Budden, you ain’t got no choice with Royce,
You don’t wanna see the Crooked I, well, listen to Ortiz voice"

CyHi Da Prynce (Verse) - "Higher"




So this is a B.o.B track from his mixtape No Genre (check out the tape (Here)and not only does it feature CyHi but also Playboy Tre. All three MC's absolutely kill it but CyHi's verse sticks out because he puts on an absolute show. CyHi was featured on The Booth as our Artist of the Week a while back, so if your interested in more info on him check it out (Here). This track is one of our favorites from the tape and this verse is always stuck in my head so check it out below.

Listen to "Higher" below (CyHi has third verse)



"Okay, Higher than you've ever been,
Just when you won't find a better med-i-cine,
I would highly rec-o-mmend that you step up in the suite,
Ask when I got it and I say I met a friend,
Police at the do', I would never let them in,
Everyday I wake up and I try to set a trend,
Thomas Ed-i-son or whenever I'm in,
Now I'm in a country that you've never been,
Huh, Neth-er-lands,
Doin' more interviews than David Lett-er-man,
I don't know too many n----s better than,
Prynce CyHi, so who wanna bet a Benz?,
Vanilla, or yellow skin,
Big booty b-tch, call her Ev-e-lyn,
Haters turn me in when it comes to green,
Get your dog shot like a vet-eri-narian,
Ha, Tool on the seat,
Fly young n---a, keep it cool in the heat,
Calmer than a farmer cause I'm used to the beef,
Got more soul (sole) than the shoes on your feet,
Still a n---a freak then I move it to the east,
She's probably yo girl if she's cute and petite,
She said she's got a man, what you doin' with a geek?,
F-ck him baby, come cool with the heat"







Week of February 7th


Eminem - "Oh No"







"I’d ask my mother but I think she’s laughing at the plants,
A half a gram of graham crackers and some Van de Kamp’s,
I think I’ll eat some Ambiens like they’re candied yams"


"Just like a pendulum, Satan’s pentagram swings,
I accidentally dented it and bent the damn thing,
Shit I think I might have did it when I was dancing,
While I was chopping one of my legs off and pulled a hamstring"


 
"Vicodin’s like a nitrogen hydrogen vitamin,
I bite into five and then I get high as a kite again,
I like it when I get in my zone on the mic again,
Who am I kidding? I couldn’t quit this shit if my life depends,
I relapsed twice after I came outta Brighton then,
Yeah, rehab’s nice, I had my name up in lights again,
You see that’s why I can’t decipher what life I’m in,
I might pull a knife on your wife and slice her and dice her then,
It sounds so enticing, isn’t it nice when I’m hype again?,
I’m nice when I’m like this, no time to write just type it in,
If I could get my pen to slow down, what’d I write just then?,
Man I’m about to hyperventilate, I just have hyper-tension,
I have the type of mental state you couldn’t comprehend,
Unusually stupid of you for you to think I’m your friend,
I usually do what I do and suffer no consequence,
I offer no mercy, the controversy is once again"





Were going a old school this time for our LOTW. The reason behind choosing this track is because the other day I sorted my music library to see what songs I have played the most and this track was in my top 10, so I hope you enjoy these lyrics as much as we do.

2Pac Ft. Method Man, Redman, Daz Dillinger & Kurrupt - "Got My Mind Made Up"



2Pac:

"So mandatory my elevation my lyrics like orientation,
So you can be more familiar with the n---a you
facing,             We must be patient nothing better than communication,
Known to damage and highly flamable like gas stations,
Sorry I left that ass waiting,
No more procrastination give up to fate, and get that ass shaking"
"I'm busting and making motherf-ckers panic,
Don't take your life for granted p
ut that ass in the dirt,         You swear the bitch was planted,
My lyrics motivate the planet,
It's similar to Rhythm Nation but thugged out, F
orgive me Janet"
Method Man:

"F-ck you losers, while you fake jacks I makes maneuvers,
like Hitler, sticking up Jews with German lugers"
"Melons get swellings, I paint mental pictures like Magellen,
Half of my Clan's three deep felons"
"Better take one and pass or that's that ass,
Your vital statistics are low and falling fast,
Johnny Blaze out to get loot like Johnny Cash,
Play a game of Russian Roulette and have a blast"
Redman:

"Let's face it, there's no replacement,
Taste this, mad underground basement, shit I'm laced with"
"I got connects like Federal Express,
to get the fresh package of bless, the dogs can't fetch"
"Got the clear spot from the rear block,
to bust till every n---a here drop, men I fear not,
Hold your nose and blow out till your ears pop,
Since your crew suit you to shift now you claim that you gears locked"
"Then proceeds like keys,
My degrees freeze consecutively like EPMD LP's"

Week of January 3rd
Eminem - "Hello Good Morning Remix"
I know we went with Slim last week but his verse in this Dirty Money remix is just to good to not win the honors back to back.
Hello and Good Morning
Baby I didn’t mean to turn it bad
I know you’re feeling angry just as bad
cause I took you through the drive through and made you pay the tab
Girl I’m so cheap I can turn your happy meal sad
your loco, don’t bother mistaking me for a mogul
I’m more like fogal, McLovin’, McDonalds McMuffin
breakfast burritoes, rito’s, cheetos and dorrito’s help cheat though
and that’d be the only thing I pee hole
so baby anything with a dollar menu I treat you
my back hand is lethal so I keep you at arms length
so I can always reach you
get a knee to the gut, thats the only way I say I need you
lady I’m just trying to get a rim job off the deal
and I aint talkin’ Giovanni’s on the wheels
so let me see you mommy’s get ya tail feathers kicking
I’m here to cock block like a square male chicken, come on


Week of December 27th


Eminem - "Cocaine"

"Now all you needs an image to go with the name, baby,
wife beaters and white t-shirts,
Hanes mainly,

its a long shot but is it possible,
theres a lane maybe,

if not, he’s gonna have to come and change the whole game, aint he?"


"You’re operating on all cylinders,
syllables spit like dillingers,

spilling your guts,
people are feeling your mic skills,
But these haters are ice grillin’ ya,
willing to sacrifice anything for the life that they might steal from ya"

Always had a lot of heart never been the tin type
Never will I drop a dime never been the 10 type

Lil Wayne - 6'7"

"life is the bitch, and death is her sister
sleep is the cousin, what a f-ckin’ family picture

no matter who’s buying, I’m a celebration
black and white diamonds, f-ck segregation"



"okay, I lost my mind, it’s somewhere out there stranded
I think you stand under me if you don’t understand me"


"married to the money, f-ck the world, that’s adultery

tell ‘em kiss my ass, call it kiss and tell"
