125 (Fresh Air)
Joell Ortiz

[Verse 1]

Wake up, wake up,

The verse is here,

Mailman hurry up

Ain't no food up in here

We live check to check, the projects steps is wet with PISS

Elevator broke, come fix this shit

Missed your best kids, steal chips outta the corner store

Find stick, walk through the hood

With a 4 by 4,

Eviction letters on that door when your rent's late

You riffing like joell was supposed to have set cake

We turn the johnny pump up until the wrench brake

It ain't safe you walk by and get a drenched face

Everyother month you sobbin at a friends weight

Writting candies in front of the building with Henn Straight

Chinese food is a gourmet meal that general toss chicken is always real

Elders call the cops cuz the hallways filled with weed smoke

So when we see dee-boo we peel

Deep throat is ill from a true bird

So like two thirds of the sign, we climb up to the roof, word

Devil heat is still alive

You can't park your car anywhere for them rides they'll steal your ride

Your whole vehicle gone, by the time you realize

Somebody flossing quite often at the other side of brooklyn

Raise your hand if you spent a night in the book and

Bet chu I see more arms than sadam and his muslims

It's cocaine cooking in the pot smell the fumes

The finished product got the tenants selling living rooms

Every time they cop, they signing a different tune

The crack got their brain boiling like a chicken stew

Take a hit or two

And watch you go from heavy set with a job

To out of work and invisible

That's a pitiful visual but this shit is true

To be honest some of my fam on a mission too

We play lotto and hope that we hit our way out

I stopped chasing that dream my luck gave out

Don't be mad

UPS is hiring

Tried that,

After the first check came retirement

Back hurting my situation ain't that urgent

Felt like i got ran over by a black burnand

My situation ain't that urgent

Scenerious like that make me the rap urban magic johnson

I'm barry bonds when his bat working

Hit maker, mix tape of the year

Can everybody just take a deep breath

Yes,

I'm fresh air,

let hear all that nonscence

Hes kind of heavy, hes going to be hard to market

Plus hes latin, it's that or hes going to target

So i'm big, so is big, so is big pun

And you know, like i know, that chu know

That they both get dumb

So just stop it,

No more targeting everyone

Five foot mexicans, africans that southerone

I can even dated all the native americans

They can dance around my fire until the rain come

I knew it from day one,

It took ya'll

Two thousand, five hundred and fifty five days

To say i'm a great one

Seven years i been boothing and sheeding tears

Like i'm through with it, heard a track went back and ruined it

This music shit made my first baby moms jet

We was broke i was working hard on my project

I tried to tell her this is our way out the project

If i don't go 100 Percent it won't be no progress

She looked at me like:

Yeah Right You Jobless, Wanna rap, My Bags Is Packed, See you in August

I had to eat that, she right we ain't had money

But the pampers was there and my son had a fat tummy

All i ask was a little smile support,

What i get?


Letters in the mail for child support

But it's cool, success is near i can taste it

Now you know all the time we argued was time waisted

I took the hip hop exam and i aced it

Matter of fact the board of rap didn't know how to grade it

I'm so left with it, effort-less-ly, ya'll be left on the shelf

If it was left up to me

Left ya'll a while ago

Made a left on the deal of B.Q.E. feel in the water and was left in the sea

Yeah

My flow liquid to much H2O in it

My system, i ain't drown, i became a wave and rolled with it

I make it hard for yall to swim on the track

After i rap, i be the current that be pushing you back

Giving me daps,

Like

Putting your hand up in a hot pot

Did chu not know that i'm fire like a pot spot

If this was hot scotch,

You would hop to the next box,

I hop to the next park and try to block shots on the ball court

I'm not open's element

Went to the zoo, i was three not for the elephant,

Just for the smell of it

I'ma different breed they should have built a cage

With a stage and had a Joell In it

My attitude is not celebet f**k you

I violate your whole album with a one two

When i was one two

I used to take on one two three niggas in battles and won too

About one two three years ago

I had a one two each single on rock as raw as that one two

I'm the kind of dude you compare no one too

Your engineers a boxer he got to punch you

I'm one take with it, they did it not me

Base the industry

It's how they got me

Pissed off

Like a case of beer to face, great taste,

Less filling, i ain't filling ya'll taste

Dude your praise is week

Seven days a week,

Same joint on the radio of coarse they going to say its heat

Ya'll use hipnoticism

Play the same beat,

Same rhyme all the time got they brains on repeat

Yall can hear me once and know that i am him

The second comming of nice,

I terrorize the pen, analyze the gem's,

Sisregard the Ice movement

I'm talking to jewels that i use when i write stupid

When i do it, they going to stay haiting

Cuz ima be ontop of the game both feet on my play station

You could try to find a save heaven

But theres no where to run and hide from this undeniable vacation

Get out the car im the driver seat

The gas tank is full and the ride is sweet

The kind of rank you pull is the kind i eat

The only stripes yall earn with remain in your stomach

As the weight loss begins when your income plummets

Sending the news coverage, I will make dudes public

Extra, Extra: Read all about it

Another artist missing last seen on an outfit

Had to be desgined by some big name stylist

Any info please don't be affraid to dial this

718

Ya'll motha f**kers ain't f**king with me

Ima violate, i'd violate with the lights of fifty

You'se a enemy homie if you ain't riding with me

Friend of foe, answer the question or i'll decided it quickly

Fease your eyes on the rookie of the year

The uniform i wear will fit none of my peers

Jump -- all is near

GET READY!
