Wall Watching Lyrics

Chorus
And they wonder why a brother gets high as the sky 
And they wonder why a brother gets high 
the outside pressure more than you can ever measure
Relax fire One Up I mean business for this pleasure
If only for a moment to let time go by
Let the worries float away into a major high
let the time go by (X2)

Day to day struggle all pride no pity 
We Be the heartbeat pulse and soul of the city
All The hustle and bustle just to keep the wheels spinning 
The cutbacks the layoffs the workforce thinning
The workloads is bigger the hurt the suffering
fatigue sets in as things are rougher
Rougher and tougher than they ever have been
really now ain't that a goddamn sin
Chin up and smile while we hold it all in
is it worth all the pain can you really take the heat
People everywhere even living in the streets
life on the streets to the slaughter like sheep
An Endless struggle just trying to make ends meet
Consider the pressure and the need to eat
it's dog eat dog and we all look like meat

Chorus—(Small Change)
Any wonder why a brother gets high ---as the sky
Any wonder why a brother gets high gets high


Adverse side effects on prescription drugs
So much secrecy being swept under the rug
Is there a drug company that I should trust?
To alleviate the pain hell I guess I must————(screw that!)
Lawyers are like If death occurs contact us——- (hahaha)
Trust Sounds like a death threat -------reworded 
a One way ticket to the graveyard------we're being herded 
To Get a prescription filled The price is outrageous 
ABCs fill it like they're put there to save us—(ABC=Alcohol Beverage Center)
It's hard as hell to afford a healthcare provider 
And they stick it to us -by raising taxes much higher
Where's the sense in that they just turned up the fire
Complete chaos-chill but watch-as It transpires
We're All bricks in the wall stacked to build this empire
Cogs in a machine turned by whose desire 
Broken weakened and about to crumble
Just a matter of time before the whole thing tumbles
Tumble tumble tumbles and fall
Fend for yourself it's a free-for-all protocol 
How long before they build another wall
Is this the best we can do?
is this the Be all to end-all

Chorus +
And they wonder why a brother gets high---as the sky 
And they wonder why a brother gets high


We are all witness the sickness of a broken system
As the sickness spreads who's next to fall victim 
There's no escape we just await our fate
But The challenge is more than just the wait 
ain't no discussion question ands or debate
Keep working and working totally hell bent
but Off I go got to make the rent
That's Why two jays and a bottle feel heaven sent
is it a conscious choice or the voices in my head
That tells me Party now cause one day I'll be dead
So yeah that's why that's why!!

Chorus

Peace….
I'm mer go hug a tree!!....
-----go back to living the American dream!!! Hahaha!!

Wall Watching at Level One Up (Written Lyrics Included)

I Ain’t A Ruler Just A Hustler
Chorus
Not next now Don't flex bow
Perplexed wow The depths proud
Versatility I've shown True limits unknown 
Wicked on the microphone Production full blown 
Go hard or go home Go hard or go home

I ain't a ruler just a hustler eyes always on the ball
I know from past experience empires rise and fall
When I get my shot believe me I'mer sink it
Failure ain't an option so I don't even think it
Full court press they can't resist
My haters seem pissed Cause I do persist
Find solace in my music that Relaxation tip
Spit the right verse with the lyrics that fit 
This is how I use it then a track gets lit
Recognize technique spitting straight comprehension 
more than art a blessing a lesson every session
Just a warning stay the hell out I'm fitting to win 
Why bother your shits played out this is now that was then
There's the door find your way out ain't saying it again
Another style Another layout hell I'm still all in
No holds barred it a breakout on my HipHop campaign 
What'd you say I didn't make out you must be mumbling
Did some one order Takeout or a rap assassin 
Soon enough there'll be a payout for the levels I attain
But For now here's a shoutout to the fam that listening
to the fam that listening

It's Going Down-----it's going down-----it's going down---- (X2)

hard Times ain't sitting on no gold mine
This life living on borrowed time 
standby we waiting for the next sign
guess what not in this lifetime 
now what survival on the frontline 
The design flawed we all running out of time 
turmoil another chalk outline
Clipped wings there ain't no overtime
No tears when another angel falls
It's critical gotta make the right calls 
Face facts the writings been on the wall
my edge my word my bond my balls 
Caught in a wedge One mistake its going down
One mistake its going down
The ledge one mistake its going down
Its going down-----it's going down

Chorus——————————

I know the mission Not the game The pieces aren't the same
I know I'm living why? cause there's-----constant pain

Blazing a trail to the unknown don't need approval
Raising hell all the way Because that that shits vital
They done raised the bar on basic survival 
People dying for a living toss out the Bible 
One thing holds through an eye for an eye
Inhale exhale awaiting your turn to die
why cry dry your eye
Keep fighting for the cause it's do or die
Limited choices Till the second we expire
The battle goes on each and every day
Next move plan the strategy make the right play
Change is vital won't have it any other way
Form an opinion but hold your judgement if you may
Your perspective might suddenly change some day
As long as I'm able approaching life my way
 approaching life my way 
Ain't pulling no punches  taking them out in bunches
Hope you ate your Wheaties or at least packed your lunches
hard Times ain't sitting on no gold mine
This life just living on borrowed time 
standby we waiting for the next sign
guess what not in this lifetime 
now what survival on the frontline 
The design flawed we all running out of time 
turmoil another chalk outline
Clipped wings there ain't no overtime
No tears when another angel falls
It's critical gotta make the right calls 
Face facts the writings been on the wall
my edge my word my bond my balls 
Caught in a wedge One mistake its going down
One mistake its going down
The ledge one mistake  its going down
Its going down-----it's going down-----

I ain't a ruler just a hustler eyes always on the ball
I know from past experience empires rise and fall
When I get my shot believe me I'mer sink it
Failure ain't an option so I don't even think it
Full court press they can't resist
My haters seem pissed Cause I do persist
Find solace in my music that Relaxation tip
Spit the right verse with the lyrics that fit 
This is how I use it then a track gets lit
Recognize technique spitting straight comprehension 
more than art a blessing a lesson every session
