“5th August 7” Lyrics By Lyrical Joe
Intro:
Yeah what's up LJ?
I just realized erm how a VGMA eyi no kɔɔɛ
But all the same no, I wanna say congrats
At least for being nominated twice, back to back and uhh
It would have been nice sɛ nka ɔmo de bɛma wo but you know what?
Your music is being recognised out here, heavy, heavy I’m telling you (Beast)
I just realized erm how a VGMA eyi no kɔɔɛ
But all the same no, I wanna say congrats
At least for being nominated twice, back to back and uhh
It would have been nice sɛ nka ɔmo de bɛma wo but you know what?
Your music is being recognised out here, heavy, heavy I’m telling you (Beast)
Verse: Lyrical Joe
From zero to a hero
Where if you save nothing you are a hero to a zero
They say life is a bitch and it sucks, that's what I'm here for
’Cause every night I'll be getting head like a pillow
They told me make a room I rather built a house and I
Didn't tolerate shit but I made the house fly
Such a pilot, hey pile a lot on me I still fly
Tearing every record I see with my eyes without crying
I produced a cure to your king's disease, I'm a hit boy
Shout outs to Nasty Nas, with this one I made a hit boy
Cruising from youngin' I was swerving so I don't hit boy
I knew I'd be a hit man back when I was a hit boy
Airbag flow I ain’t dying from a hit boy
Location you find me in the kitchen I’m with the heat boy
Pull up on your girl with the strokes but I walk and hit boy
Streets been cold this is how you bring the heat boy
Holy matrimony, it's marriage if you ask
When I come on this singles to give you a couple bars
Godfather this time I’m really facing my scars
Never cared about trending but getting hash with them tags
I told all you grownups with parents that I am not your mate
Became a orphan that didn't have to go to the orphanage
'Cause charity begins at home so I had to adopt myself
Though I was very young, it wasn't a good orphan age
Money on my mind since I started memory banking
To grow money like hair ’cause the lazy get bald
And that's the reason they're capping
This is knowledge you are tapping
They said they wish me well but that's well I didn't fall in
Every time that they be asking who the best rapper y'all capping
April fools made you lie but (I'm so...)
I've been through the truth and that's the truth no hospitals
The best rapper was born in truth (I'm so...)
Ain't nothing shameful than knowing your idol lies
But that's who you idolize, no sight for your idol eyes, niggas blind
But my window curtains have a better view
We know many people that wish us bad, the good are few, that's good of you
From concrete, God has been my free mason
He told me wait your life is under construction
I built me a good relation with first and second position
Poke your nose like the Holy Ghost you become the third person
They say evil is the tree, money is the root
And when it gets fruitful, woman will be Eve
But she kept me company by giving me the business
Now I got a job in my name like Steve
Been watching niggas since time immemorial
Expose a part of me, the rest of me I keep away from y'all
That's the private part I'm keeping secret like Victoria
I'm dead right buried in the studio and haunting ya
Lord! These words are very powerful
But I ain't power drunk, I'm not the nigga power fools
They took the L in the word fool, their loss is powerfool
Even when I'm empty as a ghost, I'll be power full
I made my space ever since I was in the womb and shit
I'm an alien my mother enjoyed her mothership, I'm leadership
Listen here I might be a Christian
But the next time they ask you who the goat don't introduce a sheep
Beast!
I built an altar for my ego
Put my pride in this pen only me can author my ego
Had my influence on me before I had it on the people, that's control
I'm the alter ego to my alter ego
Sick as sick, sick as Doctor Dre in the lab and it's facts
Ma disease the chronic type y'all are feeling the aftermath
Not so many people can hold it against me where I'm at
Oxygen is holding breath I mess the air with my craft
Very nasty please believe it, put my hands and 2 feets in it
Seen more crime than a crime scene please believe it
Principalities and higher powers at work please believe it
Everything I drop is just like alcohol full of spirits
New leaf how I turn, go back I don't turn, it's Like 10 minus 10, I'm a 10 out of 10
Run it back it won't turn, on this road no turns but for you, I'ma turn
And run about, it's raps turn
I'm sorry Eminem I sent them down the rabbit hole again
No BET yet but sit and watch this black entertain
Men impossible is what I manifest in physical but I think I broke law of science
Theories are my practicals
Flying this letter over to y'all I made a paper plane
Writing history on a blank sheet I met the paper plain
Serious with the business never coming to the paper playing
I don't need my money mixing up I want my paper plain
Back then we never knew what celebration meant
Now it's party after party like rotating government
Stitch yeah I follow thread till needles don't have a point
'Cause life is short but no tailor can show you the measurement
Uuuhh uughhh that's some power statement
Had to let it breath like inhaler does to asthma patient
Yes I'm patient enough to let everybody know I'm ancient
All this rappers are under my speech and that is understatement
Hands where my money is, mouth where my honey is
Now I got Hova lips, I kissed a Queen Bee
Plan A; be a king and choose who your queen be
This ain't a town in New York but this is where the queens be
I'm the cornerstone, if y'all addicted dragging your self into dopeness
Then you can come and get your corner stone
This is diamond in the sky may Rihanna sing it
And what will be will be will be
Wrestle with your self and sting it
And so I hold my breath where poverty stinks
Ma hustle very rare, I'm tryna breath the air in the word billionaire
We live a dime if sex on first date makes you cheap
'Cause life been fucked since the begging of time
But my anointing a pedophile since a kid I was touched
I always got a hard drive for this and I can't be crashed
My hustle in ovulation and I brought no protection
So my plans are my eggs all of them are getting hatched
I'm getting mine till mine is mine
You mine, she mine in mind but mind your mind 'cause mind to mind
My mind kill mind, put mine in mind, that's mine
It's mind in mind in mind don't mind
If your mind ain't used to mine, I'm going off like a bomb, tell them all this field is mine
Let it breath
Over here wack music is stored
I made provision by putting good music in store
I'm a pro by my vision with the lyrics I swore
Out of dirt I was made and I'm doing my chores
Costume? I'm out fit for any kind of fight
They designed your designers to design you the way they like
In an era where everybody wanna come correct like Nike
But y'all are too wrong and can't even make a right
This is loud 'cause we the reason this niggas get inspiration
Dirty if you wait for them to shower you with adoration
Karma is a bitch, I put karma in 69 positions
In a way everyone is a cumer in their own position
Power dies and power rise
The truth is where the power lies
We paralyze you walking lies and finalize your final lies
Made a bet against the devil and won a hell of a prize
Gambling heaven that's how I put the dice in paradise
And I swept this rap streets in Africa
Tell them nobody littering around my peak
Nigga I wept when I wrote this
Sleep on your generation pack and claim that you dream big
Don't second guess it if I wrote it, then oh it's mega
My religion pray on this line, it's your Alpha Hour
Some people hate the fact that I can cloak a chance with all the greatest
And not come up short like the hand that counts the hour
So they sour but we in the school of life, niggas in the school of lies
So the cap but never gown it (I'm so...)
Rappers waiting for ladies to put them on 'cause they mini like skirt get it? (I'm so...)
I'm the story in my history but I don't tell on myself, a story don't tell itself
On a minimum
We dying to take the light from the day and come alive in the night
We living life in a museum
5th August 7 so I'm serving like servant
By 6, I was taking my seat
When I dropped 5th August 5 I knew where to put my feet
And when I dropped 5th August 4, every bar was coming forth
What a run! 5th August 3? My dimension was 3rd
Did I mention that they thought 5 August 2 won't last a second?
Digits never single since I dropped 1, I've been 1st
Ain't no bruh coming close and I say that with my chest!
Do the maths and oh do the science
I'm taking off like rocket
Jesus angry at the temple, how I'm fuckin' up their market
I whip whip whip, I sip sip sip, like 666
I came for souls you can mark it
I've been moving on these waves with my penmanship
I pen ships till my penship goes on pension
They claiming sharks under shallow streams I'm getting men fished
You see my typewriter is old school no pen shit
See a lot of y'all are cunning and a lot are not maturing
Put a stop to you babies that's what the family is planning
My pen is my rod
Career beautiful as sunset but we're never evening nigga I keep it odd
Every verse will cause a crime scene
But what I'm stealing is invincible, the crime you never seen
Nowadays I feel like looking in a mirror is sin
My visibility is stealing eyes, the only crime you've seen
A beautiful crime scene
Sickness manipulating time through every age
I'm a doctor and I need a doctor too that's double strange
I'm immune to the system they spreading sick ish
But this verses will be vitamin C to your immune system
F you and the story you building I live in top 5
No insecurities, my security catch me off guard
Such a funny rap list. Are those the ones that you regard?
I network and keep it lit over your gees. Is that hard?
Best wishes 'cause y'all need high luck
Me from wherever I fall I just pickup like Hilux
I'm encrypted y'all don't get it
It's a high luck
Da Vinci laughing at his code that's how I crack myself up
My realest state in the celestial world and as I build on
I built an inner heaven where my inner angels live on
Where evil shouldn't visit good and feeling at home
So I had to build an inner hell for my inner demons
I see divorce in verses of the music that you carry
But my wording like a wedding I let the words marry
Might tell a white lie to make my life a bitter story
The sweeter your juice the more you're the one the blacks will bury
No strings attached my babies come with no umbilical cords
With spiritual rods, I'm talking 'bout angelical floss
Confessing the love that I got for white T's but then again
I pray I'm not the one the whites will cross
People used to shoot for the stars
But wishes can be evil so now people are shooting stars
Industry funerals people shooting and killing us
When did we become Lucifer? We shouldn't be mourning stars
Tears for the falling stars
Killed my sleep but the dream lives on
Shout out to Tsu Tsu
Some back bones never break
Work never go on break
What we gon do is speed fast till we choose to break
Shots ringing like a bell boy put your life to break
When I pen it like this a taboo is written
Tell poets to stay away this words aren't spoken
At this point I should cut off this fingers
I don't have to make a point nothing is what I'll be proving
No relation with daughters of Eve but we're the sons of Adam
Who are wiser than their father
Some people go bananas but where ever man goes is the fruit of his own labor
Stay in your garden brother this Kane flows will kill a brother
Plan A; impregnate the game so fuck a plan B
If she belong to the street she don't have a future with my D
See I was speeding pass every one when my tank was on a E
To F a woman called Hana that's how Gh got a G
I came on this one as a group I'm a recording academy
When I rap like this I'm rewarding my self with a Grammy
Brothers owe and move like rabbits run me my bucks bunny
At this point I'm rapping with every body part of my body
I was ready to make this work
I know I'm slapping your favorites in the face
Does this ish hurt?
And everyday they say they married to the game but me and her flirt
And this is Ghana rap I'm with the
Auto flow, so dope bro, Mojo Loko oh no, hit 'em like the lotto
Deaded the past I'm looking back at skeletons
I had to body my works to give you this body of work
This rappers are dumbfounded I'm giving you my word
They grew winds but can't fly I'm chilling with the birds
In case you forgot who's the goat it's Lyrical Joe
Put my reality on TV and made it a show
Shooting like videos 'cause when it's time to go I'm a pro
Tututu! even black magics ain't saving you bro
I know you people looking for it and I'ma give it to y'all
I know they thinking that we playing how everybody dey ball
Said the sky was the limit I never wasted a minute
I had to package my luggage and making sure we never fall
God I'm praising myself only time I see a rapper when I mirror myself
Beast!
This right here is masturbation in public
I'm outdoing myself
Mother F your top 10 my jigga
Mother F your top 5 my jigga
You see the best rapper list is such a cycle but they only dick ride
Where if you save nothing you are a hero to a zero
They say life is a bitch and it sucks, that's what I'm here for
’Cause every night I'll be getting head like a pillow
They told me make a room I rather built a house and I
Didn't tolerate shit but I made the house fly
Such a pilot, hey pile a lot on me I still fly
Tearing every record I see with my eyes without crying
