Chilling so much that I need a coat Know I’m ice cold with the sh!t I wrote A target on my back when you use a scope But I’m protected with the liner notes Got a cold world living with no hope peeps falling out when they see the pope millions treading water with no life boat but the secret’s tucked deep in the liner notes When we live life trying to stay real pure Look to the Holy Book just to endure Haven’t translated backwards, of that I’m sure but it’s ok, cuz love is the cure From English to Hebrew, then back to Greek Words might get different when the truth we seek But Hekau, true power’s in the words we speak Or you’re stuck with no paddle up a creek Gotta think back when the GOATS were kids they channeled energy from the pyramids Afrika’s Zulu Nation did the do, Right after Clive Campbell’s b-boy crew Whether in Shaolin or the Brooklyn Zoo Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago too. Joseph Saddler; The Message. West coast and the south too. Chilling so much that I need a coat Know I’m ice cold with the sh!t I wrote A target on my back when you use a scope But I’m protected with the liner notes Got a cold world living with no hope peeps falling out when they see the pope millions treading water with no life boat but the secret’s tucked deep in the liner notes Real songs hold the secret, ya dig Raise up our young minds up, till we big When the system tried to keep us under Stevland Morris makes us wonder On a Tribe Called Quest, when I question What’s the point of life? What’s the lesson? Listen to Butter written by Phife To express my views to my future wife Holla at Lisa Bonet or her daughter? Play Hypnotic by Tyriq Trotter When she steps close to me Turn to Rakim’s Mahogany If homegirl up and starts a fight Can’t Hide Love written by Maurice White? Skip that Scarborough. Prototype: Andre Benjamin. Chilling so much that I need a coat Know I’m ice cold with the sh!t I wrote A target on my back when you use a scope But I’m protected with the liner notes Got a cold world living with no hope peeps falling out when they see the pope millions treading water with no life boat but the secret’s tucked deep in the liner notes Life hits hard, gotta take it on the chin. Listen real close as I go all in. Black Lives Matter, but life gets darker? Remember “Ah Yeah!” by Lawrence Parker. Got racism , poverty? Then pick 2Pac’s “All Eyez on Me” Sick of loud leaders that just cower? Play Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” Feeling’ kinda low after you fight? Then Bump Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” Wanna know why we need the Ankh? PTSD by Pharoah Monch Mos Def, Taleb Kweli, Ice Cube too, So many more G WHAT ABOUT YOU?!? What about me?!? Chilling so much that I need a coat Know I’m ice cold with the sh!t I wrote A target on my back when you use a scope But I’m protected with the liner notes Got a cold world living with no hope peeps falling out when they see the pope millions treading water with no life boat but the secret’s tucked deep in the liner notes

Baby, you’re the one I want no need to waste our time you may be the one I need let me explore your mind yeah, you’re feeling like the truth don’t want the sensation to end so let’s go from bar to booth where the real fun can begin yeah, bae I saw you sitting up in your seat back arched like your fine never ends your body swaying to the beat swirling drink with your straw’s end mesmerized by your silhouette i had to catch more than a glimpse my appetite i had to whet so I pushed past all the pimps ***So I pushed past all the pimps (echo) 3x*** ***i had to catch more than a glimpse ***So I pushed past all the pimps (echo)*** Baby, you’re the one I want no need to waste our time you may be the one I need let me explore your mind yeah, you’re feeling like the truth don’t want the sensation to end so let’s go from bar to booth where the real fun can begin Now we tucked up in the booth for a deeper interview 20 questions like a sleuth chop it up as we chew You ask me what I want to do? Hot message in your eyes I read. I say “we need to take a walk, so we can clear our head.” ***so we can clear our head (echo) 3x*** ***Hot message in her eyes I read. ***I say we need to clear our head*** Baby, you’re the one I want no need to waste our time you may be the one I need let me explore your mind Time passes as we walk steps ordered as we tread we get to know each other’s path as we stepped from the booth to the bed

15 Minute Broke (Remix) [Prod by JG Beats] 03:10
lyrics

It’s payday - I got mo’ checks and, yo! I’m hungry- must fill stomach I stop at St Clair and 152nd to purchase food by debitin’ my checkin’ “Welcome to da spot where they serve Big Macs You know what you want as a snack?” I think for a sec about food on my dish then order small fry, fillet o’ fish light tarter and a spot of leaf lettuce and I say it sexy so she won’t forget us... roll up to da window, in a good mood, cuz this FLY honey is ringing up my food! hairstyle is tight, face lookin’ right, if she were fish, I’d have to bite! I say “yo girl, you lookin’ kinda hot, act like I have to wait for food in the lot!” She say “you sexy, but I don’t know you.” I think “I know, but I can show you!” I say, “I know, so let’s get acquainted, you’re the blank canvas that needs painted. I’m the brush that’ll make you wet c’mon, give co-worker headset.” She gives me receipt, say’s “have a nice night.” I say “Girl, you fine, and you ain’t right!” I flash her a wink, blow her a kiss, then drive to #2 to get my fish. All I need is 15 minutes All I need is 15 minutes Park in a spot to eat hot fries this sandwich is good, what a surprise! Then out of the blue, to my demise, A knock on my window,- can’t believe my eyes! The chick at #1 is now at mine, and though her body’s skinny, she still fine! I unlock the door and let her slip in it. She says “ I’m on my break- got 15 minutes.” We have idle convo, it’s insane! Homegirl’s so smart, she gives me brain!
It was so warm, I forgot my game, how do I tell the story ‘bout what’s-her-name? A few minutes later, she’s on driver’s side straddlin’ me all in my ride! Horn honking as she starts to slide up and down on my raw hide “this feels good, but I’m in da hood, over to my right is Collinwood.” I’m hearing suction sounds cuz her cat is soggy nobody can see us cuz windows are foggy! As she rides me, I think “Dag gum!” She’s riding me good, but I have no Magnum! My mental lapses as she glides to the beat, as I stare at Rite Aid across the street! 90 seconds later, I feel on her butt, then she contracts--made me nut!! All I needed was 15 minutes All I needed was 15 minutes Now, 9 months later, I’m not that glad cuz now, Imma be a broke dad. Don’t love this lady but she’s next to me looks good and is really sexy! Story’s far fetched-best bet, G! It’s‘bout results of careless sex, B! Single parents raise broken families for a few moments of insanity! So please, excuse profanity, but this story reduces calamity. By warning on promiscuity, to unite in perpetuity. Cashier was nice, her gratuity is wild child for some nudity! Now, just think how rude it be to tell child you’re nothing true to me. illegitimate baby that drove me crazy when getting a condom, I was too lazy. I learned other lessons after that, but I doubt I have to finish this poem with all of that... All it took was 15 minutes All it took was 15 minutes All it took was 15 minutes All it took was 15 minutes 15 minute BROKE!
