WKCR Radio 90's Freestyles

Wu '93 Freestyle

Grief, greed and scheming, 

danger in the dreaming, 

elite leeches not leading, 

taking what we needing, 

the street treat uneven, 

some safer on the cement, 

beat, cheat and bleeding 

no favors and no free things, 

need, sweet and fleeting 

its stranger than its seeming, 

peace peace and been peacing, 

every stranger that I'm meeting, 

she hate that she need em, 

but she keep people pleasing, 

stood two feet in the freezing, 

put the priests in the precinct, 

belief in the bee stings, 

seven seas under weak wings, 

there are meaning In the mean things, 

like feeling in the fiends limbs, 

deceit in the "breath-ins", 

discreet and demeaning, 

teeth in their teaching, 

retreat in their reaching, 

police in their freedoms 

like yeast in the g strings, 

gs in their feelings, 

don't worry I'm just bleeding, 

fuckin drowning in the deep end...





she pretty can't be trusted, 

all them parliaments of pretend, 

body full of being, 

head full of seductive arguments for leaping, 

she love me so she leaving, 

I peep the power in not eating, 

but the beat be beating b 

it beats me baby 

I believe it be better to be feasting, 

summing in my apartment 

keep beep beep beeping, 

too long with my eyes on the ceiling, 

socialized all evening, 

all I seen is lies and deceiving, 

shit was awkward as a pre planned threesome.

BEE STINGS

Don’t get it twisted

I'm ready to miss it

The practicality in this mold

The heaviness of this gold

Id give all this shit up

For one good nights rest

in the morning at odds,

then in the evening…

forget shallow time to

dive into the deep end

deal reality its finality

when I finally reach the end

the boat hit a wall like Truman

you need a fresh coat of paint

on them cumulus’s ominous,

masked like DOOM disappear into the abyss

debonair for the devil in a new dress

studied minutiae down to the nucleus,

and I stay true to this

oh yeah the best I can

everyday menace to the man

got me stealin bread, Jean Val

all my life dodging a cell

not a snitch or rat so its

been workin out well

thought this was my year

maybe the next one though

wantin to spend dinero like deniro

but my pocket got a hole

and I don’t know how to sew

what's the price of a soul

and I really cant say

what I wanna express

its weighing on this

heart in my chest

so its best to compress

say it all in jest

so you think im not a threat

hanging with death

hes a new best friend

showin me the other side

it aint lookin that bad

im singing these songs

in the key of regret

gangly sayin you riding with me?

I said “aight bet”

All this pressure to just endure

Like a cancer without a cure

Waiting to die

All my life I've been

Lookin to the other side

Staggering footprints

On aggravated pavements

Eight ball side pocket

No more mountains

Just valleys

No more highs

Just lows.

No more mountains

Just valleys

No more highs

Just lows.

MENACE

Polynesian,

that’s so acid

Dick is flaccid,

want a bandage

Feel outlandish

Act outrageous

Wanna live lavish

Asking in favors

Then they all vanish

Guns are heavy

I need a Doberman

Arms in knots

I’m wearing chainmail

Devil with a message

I cannot relate

I’m that foreign aid

basement show tonight

shifty dudes and fist fights

we hardcore bred

aint new to this shit

T cop slow, hoodie for the blend

Duckin 5-0, never make amends

shitty day? nah just shitty you

bootlicker, sympathizer

cant wait to, see you expire

old ideas and thoughts 

flushed down the drain to rot 

all's I'm saying 

minds betrayin

hate yourself 

before you be 

hatin me

better look back at that

family tree 

you didn't fall far 

you didn't go far either 

right on par

black clouds 

no silver lines 

to many fines 

for me to be fine

jealous cowards

we rise above 

get fucked up 

write my name down in the mud 

on the hunt 

like Elmer Fudd

turning wine into blood 

eat the skin, like you're taught

don't think twice, you better not 

the sheep have flocked

the wolves teeth sharp

hungry and fast...



teacher teaching class

never running out of words

to describe this trash 

of a planet I was left 

the sky is washed out 

the grass is all brown 

so what do I do now?
