[J-Live proceeds to cut and scratch]
Live on the fader J-Live on the fader
All of the above'll be, caused by me
[..is what this album is all about...]
Bust this...
[J-Live rhymes while cutting]
Once upon a time there was a brother named J-Live
Had a little problem with his Record contracts
That which the world has never seen before
But I didn't care I'm never coming back (Worrrrrd up!)
Lookin back on the moment, I'm surprised to find
I lay low yet still I'm gettin' mine
Rock shit like this just for fun!
Because two/too many wack-ass records get done
[J-Live - Repeat 3X]
PEACE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
PEACE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
PE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEECE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
PE, DA-DEE, PE-PE, DA-DEE
PE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEECE, Y'ALL!
First things first, I just - got through, goin through
This ordeal, dealin with deals, you know the deal
I've dealt with, bein dealt dirty, downsized
And duped, done double-paid my dues, for real
I just - know today's degree, C lesson
Not nowadays, can a record label fool me
So the understanding'll be 'The Best Part'
No need to guess how this rocky road was meant to be
I just - got home from a long tour
Seashore to seashore, J-Life of the party
So, even if I'm unknown back home (say what)
Step out of the time zone, these folks came to see me!
I just - grab the mic, jump on the stage
Soak up the crowd, hittin 'em with page after page of
Blood, sweat, tears, saliva, sperm, snot
Shit, piss, throw-up, everything I GOT!
I just - let it all out, give it all back
Like I got it, why? Cause I got it like that
I've been spotted by those that recognize the fact that
God is still black and bullshit is still wack! (wack!)
[J-Live - Repeat 3X]
PEACE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
PEACE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
PE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEECE, Y'ALL! (PEACE Y'ALL)
PE, DA-DEE, PE-PE, DA-DEE
PE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEE-DA-DEECE, Y'ALL!
