lyrics

I got a love jones burning in my soul
All consuming taking control of me
I'm out of control, somebody help me
I'm out of control, Lord have mercy

Natural mystic, black radical misfit
Fraternize with rabble and I dabble in mischief
Google me if you missed it, Wikipedia, Ixquick
Dogpile my raw style, all files and Twitpics
Triple explicit, lyrically Jake Steed
The way I make the beat break bleed, please take heed
I do not make music to make cheese
I still love hip hop but hate these fake Gs
If you flip or play keys, keep it one hundred
Not a coke chef but I shepherd the unwanted
Imhotep to the blunted and disgruntled
If the truth is what you wanted, son, I brung it by the bundle
But keep it on the humble, it's funneled under the tunnels
A secret that's only mumbled in the streets of the jungle
Where the dreams and the herb get crumbled in the same jay
Lames say its hopeless, I don't see it the same way

Chorus

From dawn to dusk it's a must i hustle
Tussle with love and lust, it only toughens the muscle
But I'm befuddled by the puzzle, I struggle
Like I'm smuggling a drug in the lining of the duffle
Maybe I need a muzzle
I never been accused of being subtle
Find trouble like hog hunting for truffle
I tighten my belt buckle, ready for bare knuckle
Brawling with my calling, it is frightening and hard
Like I'm fighting with God, and I ain't liking them odds
So I'm writing them bars to enlighten them brauds
I'm invite em abroad, I'm a lightening rod
On the mic I'm a God, I decipher the cards
Damn right I'm in charge like I got life on the yard
Yeah I'm out to get mine but I still fight for the cause
Can't be happy with mine if you still fighting for yours
We get victory together like Mike and them boys
It's all love!

Chorus
