MYSTIK JOURNEYMEN - Poor Mans Woes lyrics

rate me

(feat. Emperor of the Sun)

[PSC:]

If you like what we do then give thanks

that the thought banks deposits are plenty

And many to offer the author of this one, gives one to ponder upon

Our arrival, the smiles, they come forth

Of course you might know this, woes my status

Barred from the major stations, but fuck 'em

Hip-hop's my language

Maybe we stuck 'em with doses of the trueness too strong to stomach

I love it! You can't shut this shit down

Revenge, read the label, we rule in this town

Shit, burn in the fire which you create

Just like Co-Flow, you can't break the 'Sole' of these Mystiks

Put it down every time

Living Legends gotta rise from the grime

Put it down with Shui and K-one

We havin' so much fun out here we can't even hold a beer

Gimme a beer man....

[BFAP:]

I hate eatin' nasty shit when I'm broke (eeayuck!)

I just sorta smoke til I got a headache

I used to make a tuna fish plate on a bed of Dorito's

And my toes would be on funk mode

I'd be on the commode letting out the constipation of my life go

I guess that's when I decided to be self reliant

Emsoyas or dictators might call it defiant

Cuz I wasn't talkin' about workin' for nobody no more

I used to go into the store ashy, and put on some lotion

And then be postin' on isle 3, and go and put on some 'D'

In the underground I make my living

Giving all that I got cuz you got only one shot to do this

You can't be pissed, sitting high on your couch

Like almost everyone I know out

Couch revolutionists, with no ammo to go into battle

Living Legends grabbed the saddle and rode these dreams to breeze

With the kings of destiny

But that be on some high tangent shit

I just get mad when the jealousy hits the realms of my friends

That's why I stay down to earth

In with my school, better yet, my shovel doin' work

Maybe one day everybody will understand what they must do

Until then, stay with your mind

I'm only gonna let you know cuz I dropped out of school

To do six world tours, trying to make it to the core and side B

Revenge, our own black owned company

International sales over foreign seas

Is where me and Tommy be in '97

See how they tried to tape us down

But they never keep out ass down now

Now, ah, keep your roots to the ground

Now, ah, don't be a fuckin' hound

That's the way we gonna go now....
