LYRICS

VERSE:
Verbal contortionist
Leave the beat an orphan how I force the fifth that the next man pleas
Please, I'm a disease
Too ill, I do kill, I do not surrender
Sir, you are pretender - talk too much
My thoughts are, you do bluff with a poker face
You got a girl?
I got to poke her face and open gates 'til she be screamin' Tony Famous
My only name is overweight, but no debate, because my homey got an open case, shhhh
Quiet down now, silence the sounds now
When I'm around now, feelin' profound now
Ever since I found my blessins, efforts, and affection
Regardless of the method, you better grab your weapons for protection, huh
Popos never questioned you
Ho hos always question, "What you got? I got this pussy we can swap."
Well first, let me check the market with a SWOT... analysis
Oh God, I cause dialysis
Problem solve, they pause, thought I was a common kid
C'mon kid, whatever you've accomplished, I've done all of it
We can box until you call it quits, becoming colic with your awful fits,
I'm awful fit so watch the hip when I flex
Wreck the method with my second best
Sexin' with your best
She blush when it's my set, uh
Throw up your set, this is Westview
If you step through, them Samoans gonna catch you
You bark tough but unsuccessful

CHORUS:
All that Chalk Talk don't fall on me
I'm after wap wap, my fams gon eat
On three, my Gs, go on and move ya feet
And kick ya sneaks on to the beat
Go, go
Go on and move your feet
Said go, go
Go on and move your feet
Go, go
Go on and move your feet
Said go, go
Go on and move your feet

BREAKDOWN:
Murderer, murderer
The mothafuckin hot beat murderder, murderer
Hot beat murderer, murderer
Hot beat murderer, murderer
Let that murderer

Chalk Talk

What are you doing today? Do you remember what you wanted to be when you were growing up? The gleam in your eyes? We're all going through our journeys in life, the 9-5, parenthood, and our acceptance of reality inevitably changes. It is our experiences that shape us.

Tone Famous, along with the angelic, jazzy vocals of Lisa Movado, take us on a story that covers his departure from his youthful past and his march into the next adventure. What's yours?

LYRICS:

INTRO:
You and me together, we were friends, oh

Dear Lord, will I make it?
I know I've been prayin' a lot lately
I guess I'm just trying to say thank you
Yeah, this from the heart

VERSE:
I know, I know, I know
That I need to pause
Take a moment for the God, give me keys to the car
Squeeze a g up out a dollar with some copper to borrow
The bottom of the barrel, I don't care apparel is torn
And I leave tomorrow
When the leaves start to fall, cold breeze
Throw peace to my sorrows
There's no need... to say goodbye to the past
Good God, this is freedom at last
Believe in dreams, it will lead us to cash
Though, money's never first, I bet I earn that shit fast, yeah
I'm wormin' through dirt and I'm workin' for scraps, damn
Used to be a pessimist, a deficit of positive
Probably as a lost kid
Can my momma live?
Me and my pops turned to opposites
He only hollers when he needs some shit, damn
Yet I still love him, knowing that he got my back when I'm thuggin'
Picked me up from the Taraval station
Thank God they didn't lock me up for possession of a weapon
Said I'm thankful
Blessings from an angel
Love me with no angles
Anger used to strangle Tone Famous
Patience and strangely...
I'm accustomed to the danger, yeah

CHORUS:
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men

VERSE:
Now I know you got soul
You never sold out
I never hold doubt anymore than a portion
Being poor is like porcelain
I remember those mornings when I would ride on Highway 1
All alone with my thoughts and a gun
What happened to that life full of fun?
Now it's life full of funds
Is this what we've become?
Full of weed in my lungs, walk the streets bein' drunk and numb
Enough!
All the heartaches, pump the car brakes
I pump my fist high, it's what the heart takes, I know
I know, know it's tough, the workload
When work is first over your first born soldier
I told her to go farther than stars and her father
I marvel at her charm and her calm, that's my daughter!

CHORUS:
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men

BREAKDOWN:
We got to believe in our dreams
'Cause ultimately they come from the one above
'Cause think of all the places we can see, and all the things we can do
Adventures we seek

CHORUS:
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men

OUTRO:
As I lay my head to rest
Never second guess
Goodnight and good morning

Tone Famous - Adventures (ft. Lisa Movado)

"Fvck All Yo Feelins" is my statement to all the folks who are constantly in our ear about what we should do with our lives or who we should be. Conform or become outcasted. It really doesn't matter what they say to be real with you! Our society is so effed up and stuck on forcing the status quo down our throats, man. Put some cheese on that!

LYRICS:

VERSE

Army of children, it's like a carnival
F*** all the sheep, they talkin that beef but forget I'm a carnivore
Boy got that arsenal, studied The Art of War
Charred, I'm an arsonist, pardon my language
Ya boy is frustrated from trusting in patience, agh
They don't look like me! They don't look like me!
My people on TV is highly unlikely but trust when I say I don't take that s*** lightly
I'm lighting the flame
Remember the times I held up the 9, a moment in time, I'd blow out my brain, agh
A moment in time, my girl spread her legs for me
Next thing I know she left, f*** all her texts, I said let's pop this ecstasy
How I let b****es here then get the best of me?
Rest assured, the pressures on
Please don't get this message wrong
It's not like this is meth I'm on, wasn't smart at math but my raps are strong, whoa
Was never in class but I passed em all, whoa
I left basketball when I realized I'd never be tall, passed the ball
Backs all against the wall, nine on three, still standin huh?
How these grown men try to jump like they somethin, like they chunk but they box like they got on bras?
Life on pause, sights set on the nicest flights to Prague
Wife gets diamonds, whatever else she wants
But I am not the type to flaunt
Been through a lot with y'all
Been through a lot with Dan, miss my man
Been through a lot with D
Been through a lot with Boob
Then I lost my team
Put my faith in God and got on my dreams, now let's go

PRECHORUS

Can't follow the rules, rather follow a dream, yeah
I don't know how to follow so follow my lead, yeah
Can't follow the rules, rather follow a dream, hah
I don't know how to follow so follow my lead

CHORUS

F*** all yo feelins
Man, f*** all yo feelins
S***, f*** all yo feelins
Can miss me with that s***, your snaps aren't appealin
F*** all yo feelins
Woo, f*** all yo feelins
f*** all yo feelins
Can miss me with that s***, your snaps aren't appealin
F*** all yo feelins
f*** all yo feelins
f*** all yo feelins
Can miss me with that s***, your snaps aren't appealin
F*** all yo feelins
f*** all yo feelins
f*** all yo feelins
Can miss me with that s***, your snaps aren't appealin

BREAKDOWN

Can't follow the rules, rather follow a dream
I don't know how to follow so follow my lead
Can't follow the rules, rather follow a dream
I don't know how to follow so follow my lead

Tone Famous - Fvck All Yo Feelins

Tone Famous illuminates his story in the San Francisco Bay Area as an Asian-American of Thai and Cambodian descent, his attempts to remain an upstanding kid but engulfed in recklessness, finding spirituality within the madness, frustration with society’s values and overt contradictions, battling with his parents’ generational gaps, and how Hip-Hop has been a guiding strength through it all. With heavy symbolism and blatant vulnerability, you may find your honest self staring on the other side of the mirror.

LYRICS:

INTRO

That’s my town there
Hardly the way it is
Hardly the way I imagined it
From out here, it looks comfortable, doesn’t it?
Prosperous, even happy
Well, for the most part, it is
Except for the poison

CHORUS

Danger, danger from above
I said danger
Watch yourself
Watch yourself
Watch yourself now, yeah

VERSE

Fallin, I’m all in
I come from the clouds
They keep runnin their mouth every time I’m around
The red curb ain’t redder than messier streets
The pressure got me to confess on my knees
I am bi-polar, bear global warming
They give no warning, fill air with the poison
It happens in steps, we keep walking up floors
When we reach the top, then we jump overboard
Without a mothafuckin plane crash
But we do it with these plain raps
Plant that pole in the sand, man
San Fran
Sans home
You know this the land of the stained flags
What’s this blood on my hands? Need a bandage
Grew up a bandit on Manor
Managed to handle the hammer and emcee my twenties
I emptied my envy right there on Clement Street
Clocked in as a therapist
18 filled with arrogance
Yea my poppa had some air in him
I let him air it out
We used to stare it out
Used to cover up my brother’s whereabouts
I cash my checks, I copped a pair and then I wear it out
It wear me down, my momma lost her crown
They want to kick her out the house when she down
30 years ain’t shit to a bank and account

CHORUS

I said danger
Danger from above
We come too close to danger, yea
Watch yourself
Watch yourself
Watch yourself now, yeah

VERSE

Can’t sleep, already
My dreams are heavy and are settling down
My head is resting on the couch
The melody lift me from the house
I’m looking down from ‘bove the clouds
Fallin, I’m all in
Don’t need a parachute
Been runnin with no pair of shoes
Throw up my pair of 2s
To the folks that’s scared to move are not prepared for aerial views
My era confused
I’m from that Westview
Rest? No, been hectic from the get go
Defense just like a gecko
You’re just another step slow
So step off, you, you, you fuckin with the best, God
And God got me
And I’m sorry not so sorry that my style like Atari beat your style like Ferrari, uh
I’m 29 and they still card me
Got a body made for war
We’re something larger than the army when my music touch the core
So what’s your part in this movie?
Are you an extra or the next to lose?
Nobody said the road is smooth

CHORUS

I said danger
Danger from above
I said danger, yeah, yeah
Watch yourself
Watch yourself
Watch yourself now

OUTRO

We come too close to danger, yeah
No, no, no, no
Take em home
Let em know

We come face to face
With danger
To Danger

Yeah, yeah, yeah

From above
We come too close to danger
Face to face
Come too close to danger, yeah

LYRICS

The name start with perpendicular T
Extracurricular - involved with money in particular
Yeah, and that's me - Capital T
Battlin me will make you casualty
And yeah
Actually you might label me a short mayn
Never with the short change
But I hold big thangs
Put a hole in his brain
Leave a big Mark Twain
Yeah, you might feel a little heart pain
So fuck with our game
We're holdin the controller
Rollin, drunk, high as f*** or even sober
Sayin goes, "it lies in the eyes of the beholder"
Eye my holster, kiss your chance of gettin older goodbye
Locked down
B****es startin to pop rounds
You ain't want it with the hoods up in our town

Bruh I ain't finished...
So bring it back...

Home of the excess and execs
Where I'm from it's not
Throw some eggs threats
It's broken legs and global death threats
Guns pulled when chests flex
Will I take my next breath?
Land where we protest police by blockin exits
Bro this isn't Texas, and no I am not Chinese
Go and sip that Chai Tea
Khmer and Thai inside of me
Yee
They think the mothaf***a Spike Lee with spiked feet
The way that Tony climb trees and site sees, uh
I got that vision from these high trees
I hear what only eyes speak so tell me what blind seek, yeah, yeah
Ay Kato this a live beat
Made me turn the mic into a crime scene with white sheets, yeah
Line emcees and watch the lion eat
I'm hungry so f*** it I'm eatin lion meat
I'm dinin, create a dynasty
Daenarys, f***in fearless
Spit fire to any rivalry

I don't think they know
You don't want it with me
I don't think they know
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh
You don't want it me
I don't think they know
Uh oh, uh oh
I don't think they know

There they go
There they, th-there they go
There they, th-there they go
There they, th-there they go
There they go
There they, th-there they go
There they, th-there they go

LYRICS

Late night therapy, you know?
You know!

Cautious, this is a process
Never confuse - miscues contribute to progress
Dominoes, one falls then Geronimo
Your honor knows
Even though he's sitting in a longer robe
My ear lobes catch the waves
My fear knows lonely caves
My girl ask about my plans
And I don't know what to say
I thought I knew, thought I grew from that
But the rules are for few in rap
Must have me confused
I am Confucius in the trap
Bro, you got me fucked up
Like I ain't got the bars hit you harder than some nunchuks
Have a nun wear a sundress
Yeah, y'all got me fucked up
Like I ain't even want sex
I fell to less than one cent, yeah
Questioned how I eat
Cookin older food, hard to chew with my teeth
But all you choose to see is my sneaks
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I stopped the drinks
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I stopped the smoke
Then they stopped the calls
It's funny, not a joke
Focused on my goals like a goalie
Protecting all my goals, it's so lonely
So in love with lines I'ma OD
Lookin like I'm nine but my soul is an OG

All I see are sirens from the police
Obsessed with dollar signs in the cold streets
That 9 to 5 came to know me
But I don't want to know that no more, so I throw peace
All I see are sirens from the police
Obsessed with dollar signs in the cold streets
That 9 to 5 came to know me
But I don't want to know that no more, so I throw peace

Lately, it's been no sleep
Count no sheep
2AM, 3 o'clock, caught a nose bleed
You knows 'cause my flows heat, not cozy
Your cheeks turning rosy
I goes in, I'm going
Her coochie start smoking
And what a day
Always thankful that our table got a plate
Now we pray
What a day
Cross my fingers then I drink up lemonade
Singing

I done made my way, I done made my way
And even though it's hard today
Tomorrow is our saving grace
I done made my way, I done made my way
And even though it's hard today
Tomorrow is our saving grace
(we gon be alright)

All I see are sirens from the police
Obsessed with dollar signs in the cold streets
That 9 to 5 came to know me
But I don't want to know that no more, so I throw peace
All I see are sirens from the police
Obsessed with dollar signs in the cold streets
That 9 to 5 came to know me
But I don't want to know that no more, so I throw peace

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Chase your dreams, bruh
