I came to bring the heat
I came to bring the heat
Leave the weak in they seats
While we bangin' in the streets
I mean to bring the
mean to bring the
Ruckus to the streets
I gots a
Badder bite
Badder than a
Rattle snake
Battle like a
Satellite chasing
Through to ouuta space
Pacing like a caged lion
Fightin' Like a raging bull
Put me In-to the octagon
All I see is red I'm full a
Animosity and you the matador
Wanna egg me on
But I'm a mastadon
Rock on a catapult
Smashing down my obstacles
Blastin' off-fasten up
I'm gonna take my lashes
Proud as fuck
You puttin' lashes on ya face
Stuck inside A picture frame
Yeah I like the simple things
Know
This my intuition
But I'll be back
Just like it's the wonder years
Savage as a wild cat catching
Anything I want
Sink my teach in n Ravage, pillage
Share it with my people
And the village
Taking is only good if
giving it back is in the mission

Down in French quarter
East border
The steamboats still pushin' tourists
I met this fly lil honey with accent
She had me hot like some authentic cajun
Dark skin & long-legged
Henna tats form hands to her head and
Fingernails curled up at the edges
One look in her eyes
I could barely hold steady
I made promises that I knew I wouldn't keep
We did everything that night but get to sleep
While she still slept
I crept off cuz I had a flight to catch
I didn't know
She kept a lock of my hair
Sewed it in the shirt that I left on the stairs
Made a doll looked just like
Got turned when I burnt
On a voodoo queen
You know that voodoo that she do it soothes you
It moves you
Look in her eyes
She do that voodoo you know who what to do
It grooves you
It's the bayou vibe
Oh what? You didn't know
Caught me fast but you killed me slow
So what, you don't care
Left you once but I'm back right here
Oh please break ya spell
Every night I'm awake in hell
Oh yeah, once again
Break me down till I can't stand
Fill me up till I'm bout to burst
Leave me broken
Girl I lah dat hurt
I can take the pain and the grit
But break ya spell baby
Girl I'm bit
I can feel my temperature rise
Blood red lipstick paints the skies
Snakeskin boots rattle the stairs
I'm itchin like a fiend
Up biting my nails, yo
She do that voodoo it scares you don't dare to compare it to
It's a voodoo queen
She know just how to do the voodoo
No one will hear you scream
Down in New Orleans
You know that voodoo that she do, it's in you
That look in her eyes
She'll eat you alive
She'll stick it in you
The spells they consume you
This voodoo queen
Down in New Orleans
She a voodoo queen
Down in New Orlean

Comin' Up Swinging
03:35
|

|
When you're the talk of the town
And everyone gathers round
To hear what you have to say
You better say it loud
Everyone disagrees
Refuse to see how you see
It's always talk talk talk
Until your ears bleed
You can come to my house
And sit on my couch
But just remember this one thing
If your pushing me around
Or try and knock me down
I'm comin' up swinging
Most people forget to be
The change that they wish to see
They just don't know how to ask
For what they really need
But when my friends are in need
Or even my enemies
I'll see them through if I can
But I'll say what I please
And you can come to my house
And we can laugh out loud
But just remember there's one thing
If you're pushing me around
Or try and knock me down
I'm comin' up swinging
Most people don't seem to see
How dangerous it can be
To want to act violently
When they just disagree
Whatever you might believe
It's basically 6 degrees
From where we all want to be
We eat and drink and sing
So you can come to my house
And we can talk about it
But just remember this one thing
If you're pushing me around
Or try and knock me down
I'm comin' up swinging

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages
Come on down
It's the greatest show on earth
Welcome everybody, with ease
I'm the man on the flying trapeze
Never slip wit the quickest of grip
Give back with a cap to tip
Known to captivate
Putting out flames with gasoline
Rip City
Dame Dollar Billy
4th quarter god
Put my name in ya mouth, really
Feels good
Knocking on wood
Hope my luck keeps up
Wish I could
Tell my young self
Lost in the wind
It'll all make sense out in the end
And you don't even really need to groove
But if can't dance maybe just move
Off the dance floor cuz it's our time

Outta place
So bad with a name and a face
But I remember how ya made me feel though
And if it's good thats mass appeal (Uh)
And whatcha status yield it aint' shit
It's what ya kin folk say thats some real spit
And if it put ya heals and run
Thats how I know that the game is done
Feels good
Knocking on wood
Hope my luck keeps up
Wish I could
Tell my young self
Lost in the wind
It'll all work out in the end
And you don't even really need to groove
But if can't dance maybe just move
Off the dance floor cuz it's our time
For-get the day
Let's celebrate life

Strange Weather
04:48

My Babies got a bathtub full of moonshine
In the backwoods doing bad things
Rain clouds gather as the moon climbs
Getting darker so we'll see what that brings
Now you hear the floor boards
Creaking like some old bones
Howling like a wolf pack hunting
I can feel the old stones
Underneath the floor boards
Moaning like a cold storm coming
It's always strange weather - Whenever we're together
My baby's got highboy and a washtub full of gin
It's such strange weather - Whenever we're together
Come around and put the top down
And let the moon-shine in
You disappeared without a trace
Like the punch line of a bad joke
I can still see your flame
But can't follow that smoke
Now I'm up like a blood moon
Rushin like a typhoon
Buzzing like a fly soon
Stop me when the rain come
Drop down the drain cuz
I lost without the pain I'm
Stanger than the weather, whenever we're together
My baby's got Highboy and a washtub full of gin
It's such strange weather - whenever we're together
Come around and put the top down
And let the moon shine in

Know you gotta thank me
Dankly
My swanky hanky-panky
Got em tankin'
Bankin' on the number one pick in the ranking
Frankly
They hate me
My greatness is contagious
Like rage is, when you're sitting in some traffic
And someone step up in your lane
About as basic as a Bob Ross painting
In just a little bit we checkin in keep waiting
Cuz, the caravans coming
be patient

It's a typical day in the neighbourhood
And I'm out for a stroll
It's the late afternoon
Because I saw the sun rise from the front row
I'm clocking the guys
Take a walk with their eyes
Because everyone knows
On the sidewalk I steal the show
Fast girls girls walk slow
Hey little boy don't you know
Fast girls, girls walk slow
Better catch up because we're ready to go
Take my advice there's always a price
Find out how to pay
To find a lady who'll teach you
is not out of reach around in all the right ways
Take her out late
Take the perfect date
Leave her wanting more
And the panties drop right to the floor
All day always
Fast girls walk slow
Better make your move because I'm ready to go
Fast girls walk slow
If you're going to make your move you better watch your dough
Know if you've paid attention
There is one thing I'll mention
If you're here to sell
If a girl knows what she wants
And has what she flaunts

It's Not Over

We've all seen this movie
We know how it ends
An age of broken promises
But we're not done
Sliding backwards into history
This was the new policy
Fear is the new currency
But we're not done
It's not over, till it's over
And we're not rolling over
It's not over till it's over
We're still here
Speak truth to the authority
Restore our integrity
Push back on insanity
We're not done
We've all seen this movie
We know how it ends
The train won't run over the girl
'Cause we're not done

Not Sorry Charlie

Well, I'm not sorry about it darling Charlie boy
You really made the news
Stop going on about it will you darling?
You know how I shake the blues
People may talk about me if they choose to but
I simply must refuse
To go on and give a damn about it
Sorry Charlie but I know you'll push on through
I don't make a habit out of being sorry
You know how I do, how it do
I've just about had it with you darling Charlie
And the things that you wish I'd do
If you only knew half the things that I'd love to do for you
You would've kept that shit tight
But I guess it's time for me to move along now lover
But I know you'll be alright
Skobity boo dop doo yeah
Dip dopple Charlie
My darling you know it's true
There ain't no chance in hell I'd take you back now baby
Not after what you've put me through
Well you can't go around town feeling sorry
for the things that you choose to do or say
Just make your choices wiser
Or you'll end up compromising
How you feel at the end of the day
But if you want to live in wealth just love yourself like no one else
Take care for your will and your way
As long as you can stand by what you planned the rest be damned
And I'm sorry you'll never say
Skobity boo dop doo yeah
Dip dopple Charlie
My darling you know I love you
But you'll never find another kitty like me I'm not sorry
And I hope you're not sorry too

The bomb's exploding, fire is reigning over our heads
The atom mushroom's glowing and people are moving their hips to songs
Coming out of a juke box, there are no losers tonight
Today at midnight, we're going to grab this world's crotch
Ash and blood, dancing to the blues
Petticoats and suits
Unstoppable anger, hate without bravery
But for fire we only need a little blaze
The light elucidate small towns in this desert
Curtains roll, blisters on our feet from dancing

Stickup Kid
03:29

When it all started
Kinda blind sided
I know I'm not above it
But always tried my best
To abide by it (What's that?)
The law
But i done had enough
With rich trying to rob the poor
So i walked up in tha spot
Not a plan or a thought
All I wants what I'm owed
All a man really got
Is his word
And I earned my share
But they didn't wanna pay
So I said
This a stick up
Everybody get face down
Ya left me no choice
Everybody on the ground
I don't want the whole stack (Nah)
I ain't taking your money
I just want mine back (Yeah)
So they put it in a sack
(Like that)
It's when I turned to leave
That a guard
Let his gun crack
It was self defense
(Fair play)
But now I'm on the run
W a price on my head damn
Put ya
Hands in the air n get down
Got ya actin like a stick up now
Put cha goodies in a sac sac
Sac
Shake ya back back back
Yeah I like it that
Woke up quick at the crack
Of dawn so bright
Wore a stain on my swade hat
Been asleep on my horseback
And thousand yard stare
Caught a glare
So I'm heading rt towards that
And my canteen Empty
And my lips so dry
That a cactus would envy
I
Pull up smooth at an old saloon
Take a whiskey shot
Heard the whist-less tune
Of a gutless dude
He tried to make his move
But cha boy to Quick
Had the drop then boom
Yeah
I'm a make ya famous
Been last man standing
And damn thing changing
I didn't ask these deadly hands
If it's time for me to meet my maker
That's god plan
Till then I'm a wonder the west
Two 6 shooters
And my DJs Fresh
Put ya
Hands in the air n get down
Got ya actin like a stick up now
Put cha goodies in a sac sac
Sac
Shake ya back back back
Yeah I like it that
For breakdown
Take 10 ten paces then
Draw draw draw draw
Drop then draw
Drop drop them draws
Drop drop them
Take 10 paces then draw
Any any plenty
Errrway we go
Spot got poppin
The beats start dropping
The room get jumping
And the party ain't stopping
Bee bop
Got hot spot
Drop when beat go pop pop pop!

I said a hip hop
The hibbie a hibbie
The hip hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
Bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie,
To the rhythm of the boogidie beat
Now, what you hear is not a test I'm rappin' to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
See I am that Burkey boy and I'd like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
The purple and yellow
Well so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along
And next on the mic is my man Diploi
C'mon D sing that song
Check it out, I'm the C-A-S-A, the N-O-V-A
And the rest is F-L-Y
You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
And these reasons I'll tell you why
You see, I'm six foot one, and I'm tons of fun
When I dress to a T
You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali
And I dress so viciously
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
That definitely ain't the wack
I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac
Let's roll
Well I'm the imp to dimp
The ladies pimp
The women fight for my delight
Cuz I'm the grandmaster of the three MC's
Gonna shock the house for the young ladies
Can you come inside into the front
Do the freak spank and you do the bump
When a sucker MC tries to prove a point
We get Atom on a serious joint
I guess by now you can take the hunch
And find that he is the baby of the bunch
But that's OK because cuz we keep in stride
All we want to do ladies is hypnotize
Singin' on'n'n'on'n'on on'n'on,
Like a hot buttered pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
Pop da pop pop, don't you dare stop
Come alive y'all, gimme whatcha got
hotel motel holiday inn
If your girl starts acting up then we take her friend
Everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
What you gonna do today
Get a fly girl going to get some spank
Drive off in a def OJ
I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E,
I said I go by the unforgettable name
Of the man they call the Master Gee.
Well, my name is known all over the world
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls.
I'm goin' down in history
As the baddest rapper there ever could be.
Now I'm feelin' the highs and you're feelin' the lows,
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
And movin' your body while while you're sitting in your seat
And then damn! Ya start doin' the freak, I said
Damn! Right outta your seat
Then you throw your hands high in the air,
Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere

This one is just "almost too perfect!" amongst the genre representing albums. I sincerely recommend to anyone wishing to start exploring Electro Swing to get it into their record collection even if some will decide that it's "not them cup of tea" later. It will be worth of spinning time after time and it will taste... umm... freshly squeezed. (I finally did IT, sheesh!)
