Ghost Tea Housing Things (Prod. by I.B.R. - MHH Cypher 35 Submission)

Some of the Judges for this week's cypher submission (which includes myself this week,) decided to get together and do a collaborative track using the theme of 'Hip Hop Love'... Featuring @TheRealGhostTea, @DocFamous and @Manisphesto (mixed by @tha5thelement  ) ... The great beat is provided by @padreick

LYRICS:

[Ghost Tea] 
to me.. hip hop is pretty much, all i got, 
from 93 til infinity's my timeframe, to rock, 
the game, has changed, a lot... 
from b-boys poppin' lockin' in socks, 
to glocks, to rocks, to the mollys u pop... 
my top influence, was my older brother, he Dj'd a lot... 
cut up the wax... spun it, then brung it back... 
then i dropped, a verse... and altho that shit was wack, 
never gave up on my craft, -n- now i'm runnin' these tracks... hot... 
at last, getting props... got a massive stock of lyrics 
in fact, some still in mom's basement, stacked in a box... 
i'll never stop... cuz i can't..... won't... 
my plan's - to jam... til i croak... ...and... smoke... pot... 
so don't provoke... ghost tea, 
he was born when tony first got hip to the hop, 
and made it my mission to drop, 
some top, notch, flows... so let's go! 
reppin our favorite music genre... it's ghost, doc and manisphesto!

[Doc Famous] 
Its hard to validate a culture in valid ways 
When slim and soulja boy get the same amount of praise 
But my love is a drug, so I think I'll take a "crack" at it 
"Free base" drummin' "snare-oin", I'm a "clap-addict" 
Pass that its mad static and expression of self 
Am I reppin' "HipHop" or just reppin' myself?!...................

This is for the ones with the fast take out 
Doin take-after-take until they break out 
To the patio... And have a cigarette 
Nod they heads to this beat and come back with sicker text 
The ones with the dope raps, stuffed the notepad 
That they imagine to be a Banksy piece 
They make believe bit they ain't gon' cease 
And they ain't gon' be able to gain no sleep 
Til the obtain the thing that they aim to be 
Famously, Great emcees!

[Manisphesto] 
Vibing to the beat
Couple words hit me
Improvised speech
Puzzle piece, noun verbs fitting
A street nerd
Who’s mastered an art
Anylyzing every word ever observed
Play the professors part
have the heart
drive is kinda the shit im missing
Rapping for the love
but not financially benefitting
Yet im getting bills
Working hard grinding still
Rhyming fantasizing
Of having this fuckin dream fulfilled
Spill my soul in every verse
And every instrumental
Serving up the perfect
Portion sizes not to over fill you
Leave em wantin more
Have the confidence to soar
But land for your fans
Im planning not to be self absorbed
This is life
Every part of it will surprise you
Find a passion to inhabit
Your soul
with a goal to rise to
Have it notarized too
A friend or two to witness
For some of us this is way more than a fuckin business

CYPHER 36 Judges Session (w/ Ghost Tea, DocFamous & Manisphesto - Prod. by padreick)

Blaze&VigiGames ft Ghost Tea

weekly cypher submission (#45) for reddit.com/r/makinghiphop . theme this week is 'Halloween' . and the dope ass beat provided by @skylerdurden .

LYRICS:

you're steppin' into a nightmare
this ghost don't fight fair...
ya swear ya think ya saw him right there,
but ya blink and it's not quite clear,
did he dissappear? or is it just hazy?
hey, maybe ya going crazy,
ain't no such thing as ghosts! (well, wait and see...)
ya doubt yaself, cuz ya now in the house of hell,
and i'm countin' down to the hour
when i jump out and just yell...
all is dark, walk but bump into the couch and ya fell,
hearin' sounds that sound far, but don't know how you can tell...
feelin' hopeless -n- yo, there's something wet soakin' the carpet,
ya don't knowin' what it is, but you know you want off it...
i'm starvin'... watchin' my target... huntin'... 
i'm bout to jump in, lustin' for all-a-ya leakin' blood it's disgustin',
fuck it! 
i bust in, blazin' blunts with dust in,
know ya afraid -n- love it... then i crush ya brain with percussion,
cave-in ya head... instead of makin' a threat, pumpkin,
it's halloween -n- plus i, been waitin' to dead, somethin'...

The Haunted House (Prod. by SkylerDurden - MHH Cypher 45 Submission)

my weekly submission for the MHH Cypher (46) at reddit.com/r/makinghiphop . the theme of this week is "life"...  the fantastic beat for the week provided by @alliswe11 .

LYRICS:

strugglin' for something in this life,
but don't quite know what i'm wantin'...
it's like i'm constantly huntin'...
for what's probably nothing...
through the ups and the downs...
the run-arounds,
the 'who am i trustin' now?'
good and bad times come in... unannounced...
dustin' off my shoulders and keep it goin'...
while i'm stuck on this roller coaster of emotions
-n- when i'm feelin golden,
the next moment,
hocus pocus... feelin' low -n-
it seems there's no hope in hopin'... but ya never know..
what to ex-pect next...
from sun-rise, to sun-set...
from one life to one death,
when it's ya time -n- you reflect,
do you question ya regrets and get upset?
or are ya livin as best as ya can
-n- happy with all that u got left...
no doubt there's stress -n- pressure in life,
so is all this, just a test? of how successful we fight,
and how we progress...?
well don't just let it all slip away,
right thru the net... best catch it
cuz this life's prolly the only one ya get..

The Meaning of Life (Prod by AllisWe11 - MHH Cypher 46 Submission)

One of the early tracks I made using ACID back around 2004/2005. 

LYRICS:

aye yo, ya bitchin' whining... i'm flowin'...
poetry in motion, ain't down for rhetoric,
instead i'm with O's and, getting better a bit,
by controllin' my own thoughts...
you're just a puppet of the charts...
style sound the 'same-ol'... lame flow,
i can't take those in my town, 
i get down and rearrange... compose, 
explode...
go round in circles like sharks do,
start to expose your true heart too,
no bite, but yea you bark too, much
plus i use vocab..
all you do is start to cuss,
that's all you know... yo... let me put you on hold,
i don't need a beat to be unique and bold,
yo i just flow, and flow and flow and flow
and like it not, i don't know... or care,
but check it, i'm here...

basically, take emcees apart, they're robotic,
i disconnet their circuits, would remove their heart,
but they don't got it...
mental weapon shot it... 
cock it, pop it at anybody going pop -n-
not even stoppin'...
selling out for a profit, is toxic...
just be who you are... so far, ya not him...
you're not in, no stereo, i own...
in fact you're barely known..
you copy clones, who copy clones, who copy clones
you're sloppy bro...
endorsement deals, got ya ego-trippin' major,
actin' like it was you in the manger...

my attic light's broke, with a habit to smoke,
yo, i'm after some coke, grab my hat and my coat go,
switch styles, which style's this style?
i just don't know... don't know... switch it... to so/so,
i kick it...
i'm an old ghost tea, ghost tea is me, really?
yes, but no killah no face no wu, no meth...
i try to keep it cold.... fresh...
stress the sound fx... samples in the mix,
cuz butter's better... 
to make a wack track better, 
what a mess in the kitchen, 
but reppin' the mission, and missing cassettes...
cd's inspect, mp3's, 
next is 200 gigabyte per sec, connects thru ya necks
no stress, just ambient rhythms... injected, check it
tryin' to give you something that's separate...
from the rest of it... it's just that old school,
rap style, yo, back for a while....

Basically This (from 2004)

my weekly submission for the MHH Cypher (#50) at reddit.com/r/makinghiphop . theme of the week was an adventure/mission/quest. dope ass beat provided by @the-lazy-orchestra . 

lyrics:

it's time to hit start -n-
then...
begin'... my mission, i'm lost -n-
wishin' the cost wasn't as big,
but i keep on -n-
not givin' up a bit...
dip into the closet...
grab the bullet proof vest
and then i start my marchin'
keepin' on target...
any mutha-effer that starts shit,
i'm barkin'... AND biting...
striking like a marksman...
usin' adrenaline -n- don't pause
i just off em...
crazier than i ever been...
harvestin' organs...cuz war is...
torturous, commitin' sins,
cause no laws in this fire-storm,
honest, flipped to a split persona...
now i'm gettin' ready to bomb the
competition...
beat em then eat em like dahlmer...
both arms are armed,
like i was deformed but i'm just a horned-
devil, ready to settle the score -n-
ain't playin' no more... so ya'll can...
just jet... before i get up...set...
i crush heads, when i'm on, call of duty...
who's up next?

My Duty (Prod. by The Lazy Orchestra - MHH Cypher (#50) Submission)

i had this track done for MHH Cypher #55, but never submitted it in time... figured i should release it  anyway.... this was "supposed to be for" the MHH Cypher (#55) at reddit.com/r/makinghiphop . the theme of the week was "wordplay". sweet beat provided by @drbobbybannermpc . 

LYRICS:

i gotta problem,
too many options,
too many possibilities,
it's killing me...
please stop em...
i keep spilling these,
words, filling these beats...
twist -n- turn,
illest emcee, that you heard... yet..
trying to figure which words work best...
or which words to insert next...
adjectives to verbs to curses, 
stretch it to fit the verse... until it's, perfect...
yep... a wordsmith...
present my rep, 
represent my purpose,
to wreck the mic... yep, i'm disturbed, a bit...
the rest, observing it, 
confess it's something that turns ya heads,
towards it..
hypno-toad, ghost... i'm formin'
a different form -n- not even normal, 
storm through from hell...
you get a weather warning on ya cell,
reign pourin' as well
it'll take more than an el,
to rise as high as this guy flys ....  wise, owl,
combine my mind -n- my bowels,
it's scientific shit... i'm flippin with this 
instant gratification,
makin' it fit in and it's amazing...

NinjaMode Stage 1 (Feat. Ted Deviase)

my submission for the weekly cypher at reddit.com/r/makinghiphop . the theme this week was 'decisions/fork in the road/etc...' incredible beat for the week supplied by @alliswe11 . 

LYRICS

i got him by his throat, chokin'
-n- don't know what i should do next...
use sense -n- let him go? or keep closin' this dude's neck?... 
i'm in control of his soul, yes... 
i can bring him death by just flexing my fingers,
but now the decision lingers...
i guess, it's conscience that got me doubtin'
it's nonsense... i should just stop his... life! 
but what about the consequences?...
lots of questions bubbling...
this power's troubling, stumbling,
is what he did, worth this? i'm wonderin'... 
it's all about 'love again'... 
heard a lil' something that got me huffin' -n- puffin' 
-n- plus my adrenaline pumpin'...
rushed in his crib, then, put my knee on his ribs,
cussin' -n- shoutin'...
punched him -n- the mouth about to take him out -n- 
then i started doubtin'... what's this really all about 
-n- how will it make it better?
plus i'd regret it forever...
prolly best to let him go with a lecture,
so as i step, back, realize i just eff'd up...
-n- applied too much pressure...

Time to Decide (prod. by AllisWe11 - MHH Cypher (# 3 - 2014) Submission

my submission for the weekly cypher (#04) at reddit.com/r/makinghiphop . the theme of the week is 'cyborgs'. awesome beat provided by @johncanadabeats . 

LYRICS:

it's the ghost...
model T-2... point 8... the greatest emcee to date,
half man, half mic... slightly insane...
wires crossed...
a million terabyte brain...
can toss large words right at'cha main frame,
-n- my arm's change,
to long range, lyrical missles,
aimed to take you apart, to diss you...
ya weak heart is the issue...
with cybernetic skin tissue...
synthetic, extra strength... i'm invincible...
plus, invisible...stealth... and difficult
to stop, when i'm switched on,
the robocop of hip hop, ya know i can jam,
was in the Rock-Afire Explosion Band,
and... my only plan's to take over the land,
the evolution...new and improved human
enhanced, genetic improvements 
microchip implants...eletrical conduits
infused in my bloodstream, and movin',
with such speed,
it's improving, with each rhyme i'm spewing,
created from blueprints, updated
was made to make music...


Model T2.8 (prod. by John_Canada - MHHCypher (# 4 - 2014) Submission)

My submission for the weekly 'cypher' (#28) on reddit.com/r/makinghiphop

This week's theme was 'a story about your life,' so I decided to go with the why's, how's, and when, I started rapping.

Dope Beat provided by @EpochDawn

Lyrics:

started back in the day
Run DMC and Beasties was all i played
in 93... it changed...
when Wu-Tang, took the stage...
plus the same time,
started Jr. High... 7th grade...
wasn't long before Nas and Biggie
paved the way...
I started to make,
rhymes in my spare time,
was lame...
but me and my friend Flash,
both rapped..the same...
helped build each other up
plus, I got good grades... in english class
-n- that's, about when i first blazed...
-n- made better rhymes,
kept on my grind...
amazed my friends with lines i'd say and stayed,
rhymin as times changed...
De La Soul's great!.. Diggin' in the Crates,
Roots, Mobb Deep, BCC -n- all of the greats
but hey...
life.. got in the way, had to take a break
didn't  rhyme' for a bit, 
but now i'm flippin' the page...
i'm back... spittin' flames...
in this hip hop game...
now' you know how this shit became!
and it sticks in ya brain...
