Intro:
Once again, once again - haha
Time to show 'em what we workin' with
Uh, uh
Verse 1:
I said it's on, BDE, my manhood nothin' meager
Makin' sure QC to Hollywood they heard me eager
A kid inspired by Memph Bleek, I've scribed to techniques
Dropped jewels since Light Scribe CDs in my HP PC
Without worry my verse ignites fists of fury
I’m tryna get green from this sauce like chimichurri
They say I’m freaky as clowns, must mean “I’m comin with IT”
When I kill this beat no unsolved mystery you know "who did it"
This new class got some vocal rabies
They talkin’ bout givin’ chicken heads throat babies?
Well I ain't no Einstein either, but these fuck bois can get ethered
I'm a reverse windmill next to their layup JV
I'ma diss factory, ain't need no DVDs of Smack
Y'all gone on far too long like a Young Thug contract
Star with bars layin' deep in the cut like light sabers
Ice cold flows bundle up with five layers
Hook:
Time to lay it out I got a date with destiny
Rise to the occasion: paranormal telepathy
This for the OGs reppin' Pete, in the pit or nosebleeds
We steppin' out - I'm givin' y'all the best of me
No doubt scout I got a date with destiny
Man on a mission, so smooth we velvety
We gon' cruise down the block, when you hear my speakers knock
I ain't the ice cream truck, but check the recipe
Verse 2:
Stayin' sharp on the tip like cacti, how it all goes
Quicker on my feet than a pair of Rainbows
Nothing new kid, my peak unseen like Durango
Been Wurth since before Hov told hos to Change Clothes
Remain short changed like Shacarri for the stonies
I crash your tour let this be your sign, Allez Opi Omi
In a world of copy cats I’m comfy having my own style
You couldn't find their essence if you strapped it with a Tile
I mean harder to find than Waldo in a candy cane factory
Sketchier than Air BnBs I been at
Dick riders pole vaultin' my stick, pathetic
They trying to check the range of this Maverick, no JJ Redick
Talkin' all tough, but with workshops mini size
I can squeeze hammers and I ain’t the most handy guy
I got that bulletproof funk, the type to make your soul perspire
No surprise yo, did caveman make fire?

Certain Vibe
02:58
|
|

Intro:
It's your co-pilot to smooth
Pete Wurthy
Yo when I hear this track, it makes me catch a certain vibe - ha ha
I can't explain it, but let me bring the pen and pad out
You bring the drinks out
Kick back - uh
Verse 1:
Lo and behold I'm not your typical pop star
I’m trying to make my impression felt like Will did Chris at the Oscars
No grouchy Oscar all elation in the present
Overseeing delinquent evictions - they some lousy tenants
Check a soul sample now my heart wide open
Chokin' up on emotions, inner soul devotion
Coast off lyrical push what's the commotion
Catching a buzz off boom bap sonic invoke son
Expression is important, simply put, well
If I can’t express myself it ain’t my best of health
I catch a certain vibe verbally invest my wealth
Cuz having zero outlet surely next to hell
Homie ring the bell and let the fight begin
If your beats and verses don't smack you ain't strikin' to win
Pardon me while I binge and purge encyclopedic words
With a diabolical twist now creative wars occur
Hook:
This the way it goes when I catch a certain vibe
Kiddos process my slang and brace for diatribe
My raw sense of rhetoric either heal or dead it
If you was a Hip Hop fan in 92 you indebted
Been a stealth emcee since my infancy
Sampled or composed tis all a pleasure for me
My soul your heart tied, when my art your ears collide
I ascribe to this music thang cuz it feels so live
Tag:
Uh - Live
Uh - Live
Yeah
Verse 2:
I'm like a sure bet deal without the wild pitches
They searching for Pete like donde estan b*****s
Do these rhymes make you Randy like Austin Powers
Most of y'all can’t see me like a professor with no office hours
A dope emcee in my own right, I compose hype
Passages with a flow tight like corset - Bet
I stay equipped with skill, on God
Yo I already had a type you just fit the bill raw
Offensively, my game, is from 18 feet
I can beat you "bassline" or with "hooks" like Kareem
Full steam ahead like a Stourbridge Lion
I need a drug test for these metaphors I'm supplying
I'm the hottest thing poppin' since kettle corn
Your choice of rap stars - indulge yes and not settle more
Without further fanfare or hesitation, I'm your guy
Throw this in the ride and drive cuz it fits a certain vibe

Verse 1 (Crump Casso):
Look, look
I'm like all your favorite rappers, I'm the Hip Hop Captain Planet
They say that Hip Hop is broken, I call up the Rap Mechanic
Ayo P Dub make it work, these lame rappers making dirt
Hop in the whip and I make it kill, oops I meant I make it skirt
These rappers are chickens to me and they think I'm making jerk
I'm a hired hit man, Pete Wurthy fax the paper work
And your days are numbered boy, help me count 'em down like
5, 4, 3, 2, 1 if you doubt me
I feel like the new Bun, Underground King
North Charlotte where I come from, where they found me
And I say it proudly, real ones around me
Run you out your county, got 'em all like how he
Switch the flow up and yet he kills them
Means he's a nice guy but the gangstas feel him
It's cuz my flow golden got the Midas touch
And the gold in my watch so ya time is up boy
Hook:
Y'all kiddos must gotta know
That your gig is nearly up
Days are numbered
Y'all must got the boy fucked up
When I talk don't interrupt - yuhh
Days are numbered
Y'all dummies must gotta fear
That your end is nearly here
Days are numbered
Y'all must got this shit weird
So let me make it crystal clear - yeah
Days are numbered
Verse 2 (PW):
My ominous lyrics feed kindred spirits
Ain't need amygdala to know my wrath y’all gonna fear it (yuhh)
My style unique - yo I raise the comp like heat
Word to the meek, this ain't no game like hide and seek
You reach I teach, I'll crash your party I'm Vince Vaughn
Taking out these pawns with a hustle that's far from gone
Herbs light the cron’ while I chronicle, “riddick flows”
Fast and furiously I “Dom”-inate, no Vin Diesel
Deceitful is their trap, how they stab you in the back
Even on weekends, throw dirt on your name: Rebecca Black
Don't put it past them, they just wanna cop a feel cuz
Emcees riding my dick with no training wheels
My ill shpeel? Peter Dub innovates
Ain’t no tragic fate how I served your career a wake
Contemplate my stanzas, straight boss like Danza
On my calenda, your days are numbered, we gon' supplant ya (ya cancers)

Verse 1 (Yung Citizen):
Now why you put yourself through all this nonsense
Little confused cuz you hide from all of your conscience
Could be your fear, need to be more clear
Letting go of your ego your closer is getting near
It's facts over opinions do your research
Little 'head of yourself, you're getting too absurd
Getting louder and louder I hit do not disturb
You keep on shoutin' the shoutin' your first time didn't learn
Cuz you don't deserve
Now I don't know what you been told
Behind the keyboard startin' to get real bold
Repetitive, scratch the surface, got to owe
Keep on hammering the situations I'm not sold
Advise on movin' on, find you somethin' better
Feed into yourself, somethin' that gives you pleasure
Somethin' other than a gadget like you are inspected
You can save all the apologies I'm not expecting
Hook (PW):
Don't feed the trolls kids
Cuz everyone's a sports journalist, doc, or poli sci wiz
We've had it with the egotistical bigotry
You bullies we'll bully y'all can get smacked silly
Fake phonies on the loose, actin' so uncouth
Rude remarks over key strokes remains their ruse
And we know that y'all so hard
But if you can't say it loud in public I'ma dismiss your subject
Verse 2 (Dusty):
Yo, let me break it down for you now
Dusty Live talkin' to you with my real mouth (shut up)
And punchin' on the keys in my misery
Sittin' lonely one and only friend is the computer screen
You think you cool playa fuckin' please
You lucky that I choose to keep no enemies
I see you comment spewing raw hate
Actin' like your egos big enough to keep me in the shade (sunshine)
Watch and see how I matriculate
I don't need to get a tinder date (swipe right bro)
If I want some company it's really easy
I just give a little wink hold my semi-colon now she see me
You never say it to my face right (uh uh)
You never had to overcome to stay alive (no chance)
You don't want to wake the animal that's deep inside
And we can all see that you a bitch in real life
Verse 3 (PW):
Scooping this from lost not found, hoping I'm not out of bounds
With regards to online, there's a lot of circus clowns
Trying to put me down? That’s tricky
Cached your sickly remarks, can’t be covered up like hickies
A firewall y'all only saving grace
Talking wreckless out your necks sayin' stuff you shouldn’t dare conversate
Psychotic, neurotic, despite the topic
Any political themes, they push agendas, can't stop it
So toxic through the QWERTY cusses and fusses
The harshest critics stay acidic
They gon’ get lit up no stage trusses
Their malfeasance defined as borderline
Committing mad asinine keyboard fines
Y'all social network jerks a bunch of cornballs
The true irony is yall aint got no balls at all, trust
All y’all do is just logon
To I be speaking all of that bullshit dot com

Tough To Tackle

Intro:
Ohh, ohhh
Make way for the champion
Make way for the champion, come on
We do what they say can't be done
We do what they say couldn't be done (come on)
Yeah, yeah
We dominating like
Uh uh
Verse 1:
Let me kick it off like this - no onsides
Emcees with foul lines on scrimmage now they comin' offsides
No surprise I'm a sure bet like 20 yard field goals
They sellin' souls for the way I run game like Tecmo Bowl
My lineup nickel and dime, prime defense with rhyme
Alarm all sirens cuz Peter Wurth a beast on gridiron
I need the Rap Lombardi, why lie man?
My lyrical harm stiff arm ya harder than John Heisman - uh
I’m like Bo Jackson in his day
Tough to tackle in every conceivable way
My audible flow annihilates, the secondary on skates
Pete's playbook got 'em shook, fumblin' during earthquakes
My helmet slippery sweatin' with pure delivery
Armchair QBs watching from home like you are kidding me?
My joints score extra points, y'all stay safety'd and sacked
Your last track a Sanchez ass fumble, flat on its back
Hook:
Catch us on the ball field
We got the proper build for the championship bill
If your flow lags you soft like a two hand tag
We bring home awards while they can barely brag ayo
This cat is tough to tackle
Run up the slot, in your spot, bust ya in ya adam's apple
Surround you with the realness (psssh, bitch please)
All-American emcee runnin' game like athletes
Verse 2:
Frequently with ease, juking all these rookies
I should have an outhouse how much I dump on emcees
Special teams getting creamed with my 90 yard verse
Run draw, now my Hail Mary hook descale your worth
My X and O flow a Saban and Swinney combo
These foes whiney, try me - expose ya pronto
With your goal line fines, screw the fake pass off tricks
I'm elaborate, that’s accurate - no Mark Mosely kicks
I’m more thrilling than your team grabbing a pick six
Visiting cheerleaders in stands like girl who is this?
Like pylon cams, dick riders dog piled on
Rod Tidwell show me the money when I get to rhymin'
No deflate-gate even my lines they bitin'
Bout to break my foot in their hine parts, return of titans
Not impressed with these cheap imitations with no hesitation
Takin' the knee behind the victory formation
Outro:
It's just what we was born to do man
Let me tell ya something
Ya give me the ball
All I know how to do
Is run with it
Let me see ya
Cha cha, cha cha real smooth
Cha cha, cha cha real smooth
Cha cha, cha cha real smooth
Cha cha, cha cha
Let me see ya
Cha cha, cha cha real smooth
Cha cha, cha cha real smooth
Cha cha, cha cha real smooth
Cha cha, cha cha
Two step now
Two step now
Two step now
Two step it out
Two step now
Two step now

Verse 1 (Red Jesse):
I been in the ocean like Danny, Abyss in the trench like a war
Steepin' in darkness like dreaming a part of this year wasn’t Floyd's face to the floor
I wanna be very honest and ignore it but in the Mariana murder glows over
That white noise in my brains when I don’t wanna look at the shit we control yo
So I’m swimming I’m in it, I ain’t gon' hold up no minute, this ain’t the time for no
Chin Up Charley, this is a dig in and get it, cause it seems like my neighbors forgetting
Our brothers been killed in the streets if you can't repeat that then you ain’t hitting
Look at what’s in front of our faces and quit denying the rain in the sky when it’s spitting
So I’m shittin' on right white American ignorance, y’all
Hating some shit you ain’t never seen but heard of once blind to the richness of difference
Son, shit ain’t forgiven, all they want is some shrift and contrition
If they did this shit to your great grandmama you wouldn’t be dropping this shit are you kidding
Seeing is believing so fuckin' look, we are the heathens in the ships
We are the bully fuckin' up lunch, we are Babylon with the grip
The terrible strangers with the clubs we been eating it up, and it’s enough
Listen up to me say it again, cause you only need to get it once
Hook (Red Jesse):
When will I learn, to open up to this stranger
And quit nopin' all of their anger
We ain’t gettin' divorced, I guess our parents arranged it
But I’m not doing wars
When will we learn
To have these fights in the morning
These nights are drunken with hatred
And I fuckin' hate it man
Gimme some kindness
Gimme some patience
When will we learn
Verse 2 (Pete Wurthy):
Beyond sicker than sick with these make pretend friends
We’re supposed to be united remainin' divided like Newsmax and CNN
Disappointed by lack of empathy, compassion empty
How are our roots still so deeply entrenched in hate in AD 2020
Collective consciousness of a piss poor year
This can't be 'as good as it gets' like Greg Kinnear, thinking while sittin' here - damn
Government prefers us to sit calm while watching a sitcom
Numb to the dumb racism smudged on and covered up like lip balm
My black brothers and sisters live with undue duress and worry
If they're next to be murdered unjustly by a one man jury
Distraught mankind - my people taking a breath for the last time
Regardless of your bias, does the punishment actually fit the crime?
Oh I see, guilty by assoc. - y'all hypercritical
Most flabbergasted about humanitarian peace becoming political
Habitually encounter pejoratives but the movement pivotal
Fists pumpin' hard like a ventricle, y'all please know that we're here with you

Verse 1 (Nos V):
My girl real bad, yeah you know that
I got bad table manners like Kodak
Picture me rolling, with some wolves got a whole pack
Hollow tips lyrics, blow your whole mind man no cap
Win by any means necessary, story of a black man
Used to let it slide, now we grabbing gats man
I like to watch the world burn, words from a mad man
Just remember the jokes on you, if you want to be Batman
It's the return of the wrench, Pete what's crackin'?
When it comes to hits we know these fools ain't packin' like beer bellies
They bars is pure jelly, been watchin' some weird telly
It's still clueminati, call me modern Machiavelli
I'm a living piece of art dawg
Everywhere I walk I leave a mark dawg
Half these rappers ain't got no heart y'all, I already killed them
Let they bum ass in abandoned building, free smoke
Hook (PW):
Was hella nice, but now we angry
Words were unloaded but now we comin' off safety
And belligerents might stan ya, but we can hardly stand ya
We tried to play nice, now peep the bad table manners
Can't fight fair in a dirty game, especially when
Douchbaggery level: hall of fame
Wurthy and Nos V some bad mamajamas
We tried to play nice, now check our bad table manners
Verse 2 (PW):
I've been the nice guy poster child for a while
Now boundaries crossed get counted like turn styles
No proper winning man it's a shame, simple and plain
If these lames were Time Warner, still couldn't "take aim"
But I can't complain, held my own in the interim
Been playing by the rules, my best still yet to come
Surviving conniving thieves integrity beside of me
You may be 4 foot tall but you can't ride this dick for free
No emcee rivalin' Pete, stay revered for centuries
Taking advantage with your power hungry tantrums
Frustrated citizen, now fangs show, like Rin Tin Tin
Did things the right way, but pissed off, I done been
You better duck now and take cover, it's kill
Or be killed, and now I'm that motherfucker
Tried the respect route, but we comin' for your neck now
You catchin' wreck, ouch. Bet that... and Nos can vouch (yaoo)
Hook (PW):
Was hella nice, but now we angry
Words were unloaded but now we comin' off safety
And belligerents might stan ya, but we can hardly stand ya
We tried to play nice, now peep the bad table manners
Can't fight fair in a dirty game, especially when
Douchbaggery level: hall of fame
Wurthy and Nos V some bad mamajamas
We tried to play nice, now check our bad table manners
Bridge (Nos V):
Wasn't a bad guy, but I lived long enough to be the bad guy (yeah)
Wasn't a bad guy, but I lived long enough to be the (yuh, yuh)
Wasn't a bad guy, but I lived long enough to be the bad guy (yeah)
Wasn't a bad guy, but I lived long enough to be the bad (yuh, yuh)
Verse 3 (Nos V + PW):
Stuntin' is a habit, whoa
I am not your average, no
Take you where you wanna go
Yeah, I'm guilty of livin' life like a supervillain
Baby rappers takin' shots it never phase me
Even the end of this song cannot fade me
Never sea sick, surfin' waves b
It's Nos V got the world goin' crazy, that's crazy
Treat them how you want to be treated: the golden rule
But a blind eye to tomfoolery? now who's the fool?
Kindness is overrated like PF Changs
Act twisted like a candy cane; I'll beat ya ass through the frame
I got bad table manners, 7-0-4 to Santa Ana
Envious cats no likey but they ride our laps like Santa
Element of surprise the way I category five
Big mood when punk kiddos voyage capsize, I
Hook (PW):
Was hella nice, but now we angry
Words were unloaded but now we comin' off safety

Always Have, Always Will
03:32
|
|
||
Intro:
I want you to do me a favor...
Think about every baby in the world crying right now...
Now associate that sound with the lack of my presence on these records...
That's right, never again...
Verse 1:
Get it how you live, live it how you get it
Ronco Rotisserie punchlines -- set it and forget it
Lyrical antithesis of a peon, emcees get peed on
And crapped on, by Wurthy Wurth the don
What it took to get here? Mad persistence
I came up on Tribe, you came up on Drake (big difference)
I imagine this how Neo felt when he became The One
And my blaster ain’t even set to stun
How the West won? They faces turn to green
Realizing their rhyme scheme blown to smithereens ... see
I’m rather clever, deliver under pressure
Better believe Peter get the hunnies wetter
My bars please alcoholics, I'm their favorite vintage
Fakers need a "massage" to maintain their "sharper image".
Display the right amount of chaos
Opposition meet keyboard cat, straight get played off
Hook:
Always been down to ride
Never afraid to lay down the who, what, where, or why
Rest assured forever been ill
The emcee with skill givin my all always have, always will
If rappin' was liquor I'm top shelf
With a body of work that clearly stands all by itself
Bold my name at the crest of the bill
Colder than window sills, keep it a mil
Always have, always will
Verse 2:
Verbal excellence, clearly a 16 from my camp
Is genius, but who bit who? Go check the timestamp
The audacity of those who sleep like REM
So unoriginal - ain’t even sampling joints, y'all covering them
Can't flip a track, got the nerve to copy paste instrumental
Lazily butcherin' craft, sounding drugged on Fentanyl
And at shows stumble 'cross the stage while your record plays
That's the biggest middle finger to your fans who paid
Don't take me for granite cuz I'll "rock" forever
Let me shock your era, to whom do I owe the pleasure?
Until I need to pass the torch, if you next in line?
You interrupting cheese, too immature to shine
A true pantomime how the drama unfolds
May have been hot girl summer once, now your style winter cold
I'm rap’s Willy Wonka, kiddos manners ain't proper
You get sent home with no prize, you stole the everlasting gobstopper
|

How Could You Not
02:56
|
|
||
Hook:
Nod your head to this homie? How could you not?
When I lace a dope track you gon’ get what I got
Who you know that gon’ bussa flow - of my ilk
With a verbal hot sauce texture finer than silk
Blessed with lyrical finesse - the skeptics acquiesce
Bringing your fans to my ship a Wurthy conquest
More clutch than Robert Horry, cuz the mic and I
Have more chemistry than Dexter’s Laboratory
Verse 1:
A vet of two decades, just the facts kid
Like a volcano, I was dormant but now I’m active
Not passive with vocab, I spit toxic
You claiming you king, I poke holes in your Logic - get it
My Pro Tools bear fruit like Image Line
With rhyme defined, survival fittest of human kind
Critics sensitive that I’ma class act
Put me on Mars, I’m outstanding outside my habitat
I had to take time off to see who counted me out
I hold rank - more first class than the Boy Scouts
I'm slicker than your average, no Craig David
My performance priceless it's in your financial interest to save it
Like Chadwick Boseman my illness was under wraps
They claim they new era (come on) you know that’s cap
A ghostly figure causin' night terrors
We laughin' at your amateur hour comedy of errors
Verse 2:
Emcees got rough vision - astigmatism
Ain't need a paternity test to know who fuckin' with him
I’m off that congeniality bullshit
I'ma say what needs to be said, smoother than cool whip
I ain’t from NY, but you can fuggetaboutit
If you talkin’ that you got the bag I strictly doubt it
I'm Alaska; is Wurth the illest? Juneau it
Like Lauryn Hill's back taxes, my respect, you owe it
These silly boys leave y'all confused like Laurel or Yanny
I rock flows plural and many, neural plus uncanny
Blow the smoke to this, I mean, how could you not
Is it the way I bless a track, no Jill Scott
I bust shot, like NBA Jam, from way down town
You lame as fuck and a bitter hater like Kwame Brown
You can’t overstate my genius I'm sharp like coral
Emcees arrive with style contrived like Jim Bakker's morals

The Living Wage
04:05
|
|
||
Intro:
Time to get real honest for a second
Y’all cool if I get real honest?
Oh word?
Aight then
Guess I ain't always gotta play the safe card
So smooth, so smooth
Verse 1:
Stayin' fresh off the back like Pampers
On my new wave, they couldn’t figure it out like Summer Sanders
Cuz I got more verses than a Swizz and Timbo brainchild
Got Charlotte on lock Beatties Ford to Idlewild
Constantly thinkin' bout my grandparents, my ancestry
For the man I am today, wonder are they proud of me
Charge it to the game, the way I’m steppins a weapon
They way I freak a 16 Child Protective Services checkin'
But no perv activity, sage cleared out the guilt in me
I'm in a race where time is my only rivalry
Executive producer, I stay self-composed
Like weed killers, other rappers stay de-composed
Rap makes me happy can't be that bad like Sherryl Crow
Gon' take more than tappin' a line to know what I know
I'm ACTIC: always comin' through in the clutch
For lack of better vernacular I'm Hip Hop's crutch - whoa
Hook:
Formulated miracles from nothing
Even when I thought I lost it all I was cooking something
This is where I find my heart and soul in my middle age
Bob Seger playing as I turn the page
But if I step off without a sec to pause reflect
Out of raw intent, my neglect cause discontent
If these laws infect I expire and slowly fade
Honorably provide for my fam with this living wage
Verse 2:
Tracin' my life line before my start of rhyme
Around the time Brandy and Monica - Boy Is Mine
My shift from grade 5 to 6 required pivot
Knew I had the gift of gab but through creative limits
Couldn't quite fit in, so I played the class clown
Sacrificed my rep to make dent like Chris Brown
Wanted hype like a Rufus Wainright prototype
But couldn't picture me on stage, hazy bars, night after night
Though my talent palpable, I was ripe for the pluckin'
Wurthy club performance underage - no handcuffin'
Could say I'm Michelin star the way I offer courses
I hear it all but only listen to select sources
That's why haters never get paid any mind
Cuz without reservation, they always respond in kind
I wish safety and blessings for you and yours
Stay true to your core, claim your own like
An entrepreneur - let’s go
Verse 3:
Trips to my hometown provide solace
Haven’t touched the old block in a while like Ben Wallace
Oh these webs we weave like Sigourney
How have I accomplished this much but just started the journey
On a path anew, not resting on past merits
Tested and grew, did it for science like a trapped ferret
It’s all in how you look at it; glass full kind of thing
Word up to the heads that I'm representing
Mediocre a poor measure, like cell phones I'm tethered
Traverse this landscape whether business or pleasure
Matter fact, it's known only the strong survive
I’ve conquered amidst depression and zero drive
It's a beautiful life when I reach beast mode
I encode the message you hear it back then decode
Salutations to my fans who blast my tunes
They already made those trash songs so I don’t have to - true
|

I'm Broken
04:55
|
|
||
Verse 1:
Got this ice box where my heart used to be
You broke my heart worse than malpractice surgery
She screamin' at me, you nothin' special kid
Ego instinctive no filter must be the id
I'm mad at the world, mad at this girl
Mad about pretending to give a flying fuck for her
But I know my worth, Christian household
Grandma had legit vision, faith planted in my soil
My mom taught me I'm more than a pretty face
More than artistic athletic merit, in any case
It's just that ignorance was bliss for too long
She wanted to conquer my mind like King Kong
The situation miserable, pathetic, pitiful
When I’m with you, I feel so damn invisible
Our love story tasked as arduous
A happy life no longer in the cards for us
Heartbreak: a chemical compound that
locks the soul down
So in order to escape I seek the rebound
Coldly she asked me are you in love with me
Or do you love the idea of being in love with me
Can I rock with you, ain't so sure
Cuz if your love the serum there must be no cure
Can't take away the pain of what this was
So by virtue of apathy depression my drug
I'm broken...
Verse 2:
Invested so much time in these relationships
Now proximity got us on this bullshit tip
You only speak to me cuz I'm in your sphere
Constantly question if I had none would you be here
Cuz when I was single the only time they cared to mingle
Remember back then they stan'd when I had no futon
To sit on, now they ghost like energy drinks
They tryna skin a cat alive like a Sphynx
Pourin' whiskey inside a lonely mansion
Memories racing faster than the Shinkansen
I’m catching premonitions, shady visions
They only trying to look after my commas like Quicken
Like a police frisk, blatantly, involuntarily
Violating the boy for his mere existence
Must approach from an objective perspective
Motives funny like Jim Carey but I'm no detective
Against these steel walls I clamor for safety
No reservations some in the corner waiting to snake me
My talent infinite but they ain't seen me in a minute
They want to know what I can do for their investment
A singular target like an empty shooting range
Parasitic behavior behold the mange
If I ain't on and poppin' their interest droppin'
Cloak back on for withheld emotion ayo
No question I'm broken…
Verse 3:
Life imitates art more than art imitates life
Sometimes your wrong more than you cared to be right
Screw what I knew before, cuz when it's been raining
For so long you appreciate a beam of light even more
I don’t want to live a life that’s cookie cutter
So I strive for unique confections, truth inflection
Mad confused by our connection
If God sent you to me the direction a crash mid-intersection
I’m tired of this disease causing so much dis-ease
Sanitize for your sanity the policy
Tryna deep six this heinous mess like Faucci
But a KitchenAid couldn’t help me process this
Authority strikin' necks like chickens as if kosher
We ain’t noticed the pot slowly boiling over
Crazy that the ship going down with the captain
But then again weirder shit has happened
I pick up the pen and detail a world shifty and ill
Is pain the only path or can I get a better deal
Was after real, but reside in fabrication
Can I get a unique step or am I history's afflation
Bold enough to beat the break down? Can I shake ground?
Or will the poet soweth the seed for mental funeral mound
They say arts a vehicle to make you feel something
By that token, think you know where this is headed
Motherfuck it I'm broken…

Use Your Intuition

Verse 1:
Hindsight remains the only 2020
Someday we gonna win this unlike Harry Caray
Wurthy that bastard man how dare he
I rhyme revolutionary so alert your dignitaries
16s remain my drug no narc anonymous
My flavor like dry rub, the cook up marvelous
Reporters fond of us, cover us like a throw rug
If bars the engine P Dub must be the spark plug
You catch my verse you’re privy to my presentation
No Zion, my rhymin lift you up new elevations
My relationship with mics, aye, no complications
Silence is deafening so lemme push the conversation
My sensational cadence over production flagrant
Listeners leave comfort zones for my tones they vagrant
“I'm just a kid” with a “simple plan” to go
Locomotive on tracks, I think I can I think I can
Hook:
The state of Hip Hop, regardless of opinion
Is in critical condition and I have suspicions
Why the next gen listens to substance missing
We need to put the disease back into remission
So here’s a ticket homie, ayo free admission
To a classic rendition respecting founding tradition
Envisioning heads throwing fists up for this one
Use your intuition to resurrect the mission
Verse 2:
We stay true vibe purveyors, us rhymesayers
Been at it long enough to deal with all road blocks major but
Like Don Gorske at McDonalds, it's billions I'm servin'
I'm undoing my mileage like a born again virgin
Lyrical suburban drunk drivin' and swervin'
Chaotic, spasmodic at times, the way my verb bend
Definitely a threat when I clutch mics
I got a soft touch, my poetic type how could they dislike
My music invites energy and attention
Hoping to sustain, opposite plot of regression
Provision of bliss, verses makin' more doh than Homer
On your favorite corner like a street performer, drop this beat in
My mind’s swimming pool, lifeguards know I'm too deep in
Best take inventory prevent ignorance creep in
Endless hunt for months to curtail kids silly stunts
Ain't finna let these bad apples spoil the bunch
Verse 3:
Stayin' underground, on this hip hop sound
One of a kind Wurthy a wonder with his strings unwound
I stay smooth fit and grow, watch me prove it yo
My records get more net play than John McEnroe
Real rap sales low, industrial proletariat
But with power and class - celebrate my art from here and back
While no talent ass clowns lambast over tracks crass
You the main bozo in the circus we laugh en masse
If Hip Hop my daughter I'm a parent to cowards
Reprimand ya if you ain't get her back at a decent hour
I drop more keys than janitors, skill ambassador
On the topic of lyrics, damn how good did we have it before
Like most, I was thrust into that pressure to conform
Sell out like Blink tickets, but my testimony is sworn
To keep it real word to mother, they think they future like
Hoverboards, but all they do is hover our cocks brother

Hook:
Nod your head to this homie? How could you not?
When I lace a dope track you gon’ get what I got
Who you know that gon’ bussa flow - of my ilk
With a verbal hot sauce texture finer than silk
Blessed with lyrical finesse - the skeptics acquiesce
Bringing your fans to my ship a Wurthy conquest
More clutch than Robert Horry, cuz the mic and I
Have more chemistry than Dexter’s Laboratory
Verse 1:
A vet of two decades, just the facts kid
Like a volcano, I was dormant but now I’m active
Not passive with vocab, I spit toxic
You claiming you king, I poke holes in your Logic - get it
My Pro Tools bear fruit like Image Line
With rhyme defined, survival fittest of human kind
Critics sensitive that I’ma class act
Put me on Mars, I’m outstanding outside my habitat
I had to take time off to see who counted me out
I hold rank - more first class than the Boy Scouts
I'm slicker than your average, no Craig David
My performance priceless it's in your financial interest to save it
Like Chadwick Boseman my illness was under wraps
They claim they new era (come on) you know that’s cap
A ghostly figure causin' night terrors
We laughin' at your amateur hour comedy of errors
Verse 2:
Emcees got rough vision - astigmatism
Ain't need a paternity test to know who fuckin' with him
I’m off that congeniality bullshit
I'ma say what needs to be said, smoother than cool whip
I ain’t from NY, but you can fuggetaboutit
If you talkin’ that you got the bag I strictly doubt it
I'm Alaska; is Wurth the illest? Juneau it
Like Lauryn Hill's back taxes, my respect, you owe it
These silly boys leave y'all confused like Laurel or Yanny
I rock flows plural and many, neural plus uncanny
Blow the smoke to this, I mean, how could you not
Is it the way I bless a track, no Jill Scott
I bust shot, like NBA Jam, from way down town
You lame as fuck and a bitter hater like Kwame Brown
You can’t overstate my genius I'm sharp like coral
Emcees arrive with style contrived like Jim Bakker's morals
