Lyrics~
And I was only fucking trynna
Baby I was fucking trynna
Yeah I was only fucking trynna
Oh and I was really fucking trynna~
Now there’s blood in the sky oh
Can’t escape through the side door
And your pain is alive oh
Shoulda changed when you tried oh
I’m like come here
These things aren’t like they appear
I grin ear to ear
But I ain’t happy coz that disappeared
I don’t know which way to steer
Told me I’d never give into my fear
Now I keep three big blades and they on me
Walk in this bitch like I came from the army
Promise you these pussy boys wont stop me
It’s only me who can stop me
It’s only you who can stop you
Top 1 baby not top 2
Niggas still think that they foolproof
Ain’t no place that can school you
These pussy boys never fool me
These pussy boys probably fool you

lyrics~
Baby can I tell you all my secrets
I don’t even know if I can keep it
Shit get way too real when you deep it
I’m just trynna see what’s underneath it
Keep it nigga I don’t need it
All that respect that you wanted I don’t need it
All the pain in me I stacked it to the ceiling
But I’m grateful to be waking up and breathing
I need the ether in my veins
I been replaying what you saying
And when it comes down to it
We going thru it the same
I make big racks with no shame
And we smoke big gas to the brain
And I heard they talking shit but baby I ain’t feeling no pain
And you don’t feel it
I feel it
I’m out the building
I’m reeling
This shit so deep
I’m still in
I got flows and
You stealing
I was frozen
Deep in it
I was chosen
My vision
Niggas still hoping
And wishing
Praying on my
Praying
Praying on my
Praying on my
Yeah praying on my
Praying on my
I see visions in the dead of night
Wonder if I’m moving right
And I promise you don’t feel the same
How many fucking days that I have trained
Strayyer etched
Etched into my blade
Too direct no you won’t catch a stray
Fuck nigga we can do any day
Never say it to my face
I bless ‘em with amazing grace
I bless ‘em with amazing grace
I bless ‘em with amazing grace
She like how I’m styling
And I like how she like it
She say how is you surviving
Coz you aint sleeping when the night is
She like how I’m styling
And I like how she like it
She say how is you surviving
Coz you ain’t sleeping when the night is
Baby can I tell you all my secrets
I don’t even know if I can keep it
Shit get way too real when you deep it
I’m just trynna see what’s underneath it

Something feels off
Don't tell me it's not
Coz when I look I don't see
You looking away
You don't wanna see what's going on
And I don't blame this one time
I been this since the jump and I won't let it go
And that pussy think he know me it's offendable
And I'm sorry I aint friendly when you see me hoe
Coz I ain't really trynna talk I'm trynna focus up
100 fucking reasons I don't want you yeah I'm being me
Hood up my head coz I don't really want them seeing me
Grinding in this bitch like I been sipping up some creatine
Promise I don't give a - if any of them feeling me
They don't even like me yeah but they feel me though
When I hit the stage it be incredible
Yeah I heard them fucking tracks I think they terrible
If I sounded like you I would give it up
Too hot I don't wanna know what's on the reading
I'm the reason all you pussy niggas knuckles bleeding 
I been on something that you never comprehend
If you truly understood you should know you don't compare

This chip up on my shoulder make me wake up every day yeah

And this chain up on my chest this ain’t a Jesus piece
But sometimes I feel like I hear voices speak to me
Had to get right out my comfort zone and show my face
Now she talking to me trynna grip my waist

SKIPPY  x RELOADED (SHIWEIMUS MASHUP)

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, for the show's 70th All Things Considered, we keep the focus on Canadian hip hop, but turn out attention to Peanuts & Corn Records, which is celebrating 30 years of holding it down for Manitoba and adjoining areas. First up is Yy, whose unique delivery, thoughtful subject matter, and empathetic blue collar nature make him a compelling rapper who deserves your attention. He is also a member of Turn the Gun, which is repped in this mix, and Park-Like Setting, which will be engaged with in a future mix.

Lyrics~

Bitch I don’t do drama don’t care bout the fight 
I switch on when they turn off the light 
Stepping outside I don’t really act nice 
Balenci tee and I don’t even wear it don’t fuck with balenci white tee I prefer it
Head in the clouds and my feet on the surface 
My Ear to the ground when they need me ill serve it 
I threw the phone away coz I don’t need it
You should just cut that shit coz you receding 
When I make the beat I feel like I demon 
I’m crashing out and they don’t even see it 
I give a fuck if they fuck with me fuck that shit 
Say he don’t fuck with me swear he was stuttering 
Oh yeah I’m back in my bag I ain’t fumbling 
I wasn’t walking the path I was stumbling 

I got this foresight I’m seeing four sides eye to the sky and they calling me Hawkeye hope on that beat and I might tell more lies 

This ego whisper to me don’t comply 
I been up too late I got sore eyes 
Waking up as you I’d be horrified 
Every single nights been a long night

Bitch I don’t do drama don’t care bout the fight 
I switch on when they turn off the light 
Stepping outside I don’t really act nice 
Balenci tee and I don’t even wear it don’t fuck with balenci white tee I prefer it
Head in the clouds and my feet on the surface 
My Ear to the ground when they need me ill serve it

Mmm

Yeah drop the mystique
I’m just trynna find the key
Ain’t been out since last week
I don’t even know what the fuck you trynna ask me
No license ride in the back seat
Hoe I stay fine where the cash be
I move too fast you won’t catch me
Niggas trynna match me
Pussy that’s imaginary
Pfft
Yeah
I’m just trynna live with no fear
And you ain’t never over coming here
Promise on me see you stear clear
Know I’m standoffish
I just stay in my pocket
This my flow you won’t rob it
That’s on me
Hell nah nigga I don’t wanna hop on that track
I don’t trust no one me at my back
I don’t trust no one me in my bag
Hop on the track then run it right back
I keep the peace but I can take it back
Yeah
I got some cash I ain’t balling
Everything they do is boring
Niggas still lying bout balling
Niggas still lying bout
You never saw me
I know you see me
Feels like I’m falling
But I’m still breathing
And she don’t want me
I know she need me
I answered my calling
Shit got me reeling
Shit got me reeling
And you still holding onto something
It stops you in your tracks
It stops you in your tracks
It’s stops you in your tracks
I been all up in this
You supposed to just feel this
I’m so lost in my vision
And I’m controlling my prison
I couldn’t shake the weather
So I
Should’ve learnt my lesson
I couldn’t shake the weather
So I
Should’ve learnt my lesson
Yeah
They never seen no one do this before
Hop in this bitch and I’m upping the score
They always wonder who I do it for
Yeah I made some racks and I’m needing some more
I’m back in this bitch and I’m ready for war
I came from the mud you ain’t never been poor
Don’t feel like myself when I pop out the store
Watch it all unfold now I watch them lose control
Walk in on my ones it’s always been me on my own
Bitch I’ll play that role if that’s what this shit coming to
Don’t like none of you that’s why I never talk to you
I’m making shit when I’m counting up sheep
I’m making shit when I toss in the sheets
Do it myself I could give you receipts
Hop on that beat made his hairline recede
Spit in this bitch til a nigga can’t breathe
Remember when I used to never want breathe
Remember when I was begging for a lease
And now I got racks imma stack to my knees
I cannot stand these niggas
I cannot stand these bitches
I’m finna find these riches
I’m on the line with sinners
I will decide when I’m finished
It’s by design diminished
You ain’t by my side I’m withered
You by my side I’m winning
And I’m still alive I’m willing
When I arrive we finish

Yeah looking in the mirror I’m like who is you
Stepping in my shoes you wouldn’t know to do
He gotta hella cash but I don’t see the proof
Yeah one man band bitch I’m letting loose
Hell yeah I could never give up
I don’t wanna get stuck
I don’t even know who the fuck got you gassed up
All my demons packed up
All my demons lay down

Yeah you knew the old me so you thinking that I changed now
But you don’t even know my name
You don’t even know my name
But you don’t even know my name
You don’t even know my name
You don’t even know my name

It feel like a setup when I’m running to the cheddar
Yeah I got some cash but I’m still waking up I’m fed up
I see all the shit you doing you think that you clever
What’s residing in my chest I know that shits my treasure
I got pain imma mask it
Eggs in hella baskets

Yeah one man band bitch I’m letting loose

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight is the 72nd All Things Considered, which makes the case for Bazooka Joe 204 -- formerly known as John Smith -- who I argue is part of the "ID" of Peanuts & Corn. With a more aggressive flow and harsher observational approach, his discography (alongside his work with Park-Like Setting) is a testament to the importance of working-class presence in Hip Hop, while also still presenting a unique character who forms an important part of Peanuts & Corn, as well as Canada's scene in general. 

I also did the 25th mini All Things Considered on Different Shades of Black, who dropped their only album on P&C two days before I turned 1 year old. I don't think they were going to take over the world, but their album is still a hidden gem for real heads, and P&C deserves credit for not letting it get buried in the archives.

All tracks are by John Smith, Bazooka Joe 204, or Park-Like Setting, unless listed otherwise.

It's a problem for these niggas if I lock in
Everyone has their vices my solitude is my solace
I don't want the riches I just wanna feel at peace
It's the ones who always talk the most who do the least
I'm too addicted to the grind so I don't ever sleep
I'm on the beat killing niggas like the fucking please
Ahh
Please just let it breathe
I'm just trynna make this cash this shit ain't a breeze
Getting pissed off like I got a fucked up hairline
I got tunnel vision so I feel like Coraline
Please just let it breathe
Please just let it breathe
Please just let it breathe
Please just let it breathe

let it breathe
