    iTunes finally offered up "Spring Again" by Biz Marke. I was overjoyed.

    I got so much trouble on my mind
    I refuse to lose
    Here's your ticket
    Hear the drummer get wicked
    The crew to you to push the back to Black
    Attack so I sat and japped
    Then slapped the Mac
    Now I'm ready to mike it
    (You know I like it) huh
    Hear my favoritism roll "Oh"
    Never be a brother like to go solo
    Lazer anastasia maze ya
    Ways to blaze your brain and train ya
    The way I'm livin', forgiven'
    What I'm givin' up
    X on the flex hit me now
    I don't know about later
    As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid
    Man I've had it up to here
    Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear
    Rhetoric said
    Read just a bit ago
    Not quittin' though
    Signed the hard rhymer
    Work to keep from gettin' jerked
    Changin' some ways
    To way back in the better days
    Raw metaphysically bold
    Never followed a code
    Still dropped a load
    Never question what I am God knows
    Cause it's comin' from the heart
    What I got better get some
    (Get on up) hustler of culture
    Snakebitten
    Been spit in the face
    But the rhymes keep fittin'
    Respects been givin' how's ya livin'
    Now I can't protect a pad off defect
    Check the record
    An reckon an intentional wreck
    Played off as some intellect
    Made the call, took the fall
    Broke the laws
    Not my fault they're fallin' off
    Known as fair square
    Throughout my years
    So I growl at the livin' foul
    Black to the bone my home is your home
    So welcome to the Terrordome
    Subordinate terror
    Kickin' off an era
    Cold deliverin' pain
    My 98 was 87 on a record yo
    So now I go Bronco

    Crucifixion ain't no fiction
    So called chosen frozen
    Apology made to who ever pleases
    Still they got me like Jesus
    I rather sing, bring, think reminisce
    'Bout a brother while I'm in sync
    Every brother ain't a brother cause a color
    Just as well could be undercover
    Backstabbed, grabbed a flag
    From the back of the lab
    Told a Rab get off the rag
    Sad to say I got sold down the river
    Still some quiver when I deliver
    Never to say I never know or had a clue
    Word was heard, plus hard on the boulevard
    Lies, scandalizin', basin'
    Traits of hate who's celebratin' wit satan?
    I rope a dope the evil with righteous
    Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even
    C'mon down
    And welcome to the Terrordome.
    Caught in the race against time
    The pit and the pendulum
    Check the rhythm and rhymes
    While I'm bendin' 'em
    Snakes blowin' up the lines of design
    Tryin' to blind the science I'm snedin' 'em
    How to fight the power
    Cannot run and hide
    But it shouldn't be suicide
    In a game a fool without the rules
    Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize
    Every brother ain't a brother
    Cause a Black hand
    Squeezed on Malcom X the man
    The shootin' of Huey Newton
    From a hand of a Nigger who pulled the trigger

    It's weak to speak and blame somebody else
    When you destroy yourself
    First nothing's worse than a mother's pain
    Of a son slain in Bensonhurst
    Can't wait for the state to decide the fate
    So this jam I dedicate
    Places with racist faces
    Just an example of one of many cases
    The Greek weekend speech I speak
    From a lesson learned in Virginia (Beach)
    I don't smile in the line of fire
    I go wildin'
    But it's on bass and drums even violins
    Watcha do gitcha head ready
    Instead of gettin' physically sweaty
    When I get mad
    I put it down on a pad
    Give ya somethin' that cha never had controllin'
    Fear of high rollin'
    God bless your soul and keep livin'
    Never allowed, kickin' it loud
    Droppin' a bomb
    Brain game intellectual Vietnam
    Move as a team
    Never move alone
    But
    Welcome to the Terrordome
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    Uhhh, uhhh, uhhh, uh!
    Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation
    Minds get flooded, ejaculation
    right on the two inch tape
    The Abstract poet incognito, runsss the cape
    Not the best not the worst and occasionally I curse to get my
    point across, so bust, the floss
    As I go in betweeen, the grit and the dirt
    Listen to the mission listen Miss as I do work, umm
    as I crack the, monotone
    Children of the jazz so, get your own
    Smokin R&B cause they try to do me
    or the best of the pack but they can't do rap
    For it's Abstract, orig-inal
    You can't get your own and that's, pitiful

    when i think old school, the first thing that comes to mind is mantronix. one of the first groups i was introduced to when i went through my rap phase.

    rap back then was so much better. not vulgar, nobody talking about popping a cap in someones ass, no talk about bitches and hos, just decent sampled beats with some feel good rhymes layed over the top. i miss those days. good times.
