lyrics

CHORUS

(Filthy emcee
Tell me what that represents)
A collection of all sort of things
I'm a mess
(And how would you say
You'd describe your lyrics)
Well I could break em down
Using five elements
(Ok so who are some of
Your biggest influences)
You get five of those too
Perfect fit here's the list

LEAD IN

Earth is the symbol
For roots and foundation
It's loyal protective
It's grounded it's patient

EARTH VERSE (BRONX)

Knowledge Reigns Supreme
Over nearly every body
Give thanks to the teacher
Acknowledging Godly
Righteousness
Through lyrics that uplift
My presence in the present
Because it's truly a gift
That I'll cherish until the
Last breath in my chest
Is released back unto the essence
Of the metaphysical progression
Of life...
And it's forward continuum
To make it to the end
One must understand the beginning

CHORUS

(Filthy emcee
Tell me what that represents)
A collection of all sort of things
I'm a mess
(And how would you say
You'd describe your lyrics)
Well I could break em down
Using five elements
(Ok so who are some of
Your biggest influences)
You get five of those too
Perfect fit here's the list

LEAD IN

Metal never settles
It adapts under pressure
It's stubborn and determined
And it's normally used to sever

METAL VERSE (HARLEM)

Big L had a really sharp mind
He was a porcupine wit da punchlines
He could beat you wit dat heat
But cool and cavalier like LeBron Bron
Make u laugh like watchin romcom
Take ya stash call it Hood Robin
See merry men up in da street
Meet up and swap wit em in Compton
Then hop back on da block son
Like they ran off before I shot one
They swear they're getting ahead
And they sent right back to da start line
The world needs me
My heart beats for the masses
Like a universal donor
When something tragic happens

CHORUS

(Filthy emcee
Tell me what that represents)
A collection of all sort of things
I'm a mess
(And how would you say
You'd describe your lyrics)
Well I could break em down
Using five elements
(Ok so who are some of
Your biggest influences)
You get five of those too
Perfect fit here's the list

LEAD IN

Flexible strong
Dangerous calm
Water it represents
Depth and wisdom

WATER VERSE (SOUTH)

Never Seen a Man Cry
Till I seen a man die
Scarface
Ghetto Boy certified
Build your credit
Live that G code
There's a cost to be the boss
That you don't wanna owe
When
That man comes knocking
Always watching for the next
Benny Blanko from the Bronx and
Study them streets
Life holds many lessons
Everybody has the answers
Til they go and change the questions

CHORUS

(Filthy emcee
Tell me what that represents)
A collection of all sort of things
I'm a mess
(And how would you say
You'd describe your lyrics)
Well I could break em down
Using five elements
(Ok so who are some of
Your biggest influences)
You get five of those too
Perfect fit here's the list

LEAD IN

Wood is sociable
Kind and carefree
Has no grasp on any
Rules or boundaries

WOOD VERSE (BROOKLYN/STATEN ISLAND)

Ooooooohhhh
Oooo Ol'
Dirty Bastard
Unique the Ason
Kept it funky fresh
To death for everyone
Taught me to be the type
Of emcee to Keep It Filthy
McDugal baby what what
What you need Aleve
To ease the pain these rhymes
Leave in your brain
Got the white coat gang
Pulling up in the van
But. Uh! Uhhggg! Uggghhhhhh!
I'm not insane WHAT!

CHORUS

(Filthy emcee
Tell me what that represents)
A collection of all sort of things
I'm a mess

You'd describe your lyrics)
Well I could break em down
Using five elements

Your biggest influences)
You get five of those too
Perfect fit here's the list

LEAD IN

Fire means passion
Aggression and warmth
An infallible tool
To create or destroy


FIRE VERSE (QUEENS)

Kool G Rap
He attacked wit a different mastery
Blasting off at your cavalry
Having them bastards scattering
Baddest rappers turned coward
From being lyrically battered
Thought dat dey really mattered
Til all of they shit was shattered
And thinking their crimes pays
While hanging around blazing
Til I say hey like Willy Mays
And send em out in a blaze of glory
It's a Giacanna story
About dem poor shorties
Got stopped on a cold morning
And popped with da boys 40

OUTRO

Okay thanks
We got plenty today
Before we vacate
Anything else to say
..........
Yeah man......
.........
..... DaFu
