track #3

Lyrics:
[Intro]
[Skepsys]
Let's keep it real
This goes out to you
[Ziggid]
And you

[Verse 1]
[Skepsys]
It's something about the way his momma kissed him
The way his smile shine though the odds is against him
And I'm the cause of the trauma that afflict him
Ignorin' the disease 'cause I'd rather stop the symptoms
Before I crack this cheap vodka
Just understand nobody in this world can ever stop ya
But which lesson is he holdin'?
Doin' as I do or my words that was golden?
And his sister's so beautiful
She represents the dirt and hard work under my cuticles
'Cause I just love how she always outspoken
Dispellin' every notion of our motherland's culture
Though my actions may not amount
To quite what they should, take my words in account
My speech slurred when I tell you that I'm proud
But I mean every word without a shadow of a doubt

[Hook]
"And you don't stop...And you don't stop"
"Like this son" (x4)

[Verse 2]
[Ziggid]
I'm tryin' to find a peace of mind while I recover
Got engaged on the steps and promised to always love her
That night, saw the Facebook page of my older brother
Sayin' he was gone, I immediately called my mother
I broke down once I heard the tears were comin' from her
His wife eight months pregnant, I couldn't muster
My brother never knew his pops
And now his son will feel the same, I blame this vicious cycle, it don't stop
Eight months passed, woke up in a hospital bed
My wife-to-be next to me 'cause she never left
I saw the news that morning about a man who was hit
And then my phone rang, I got a call I'll never forget
"Hello"
You see, that man on the news was my best friend
Four days prior he was gettin' fitted as my groomsman
But with the two of them gone we still tied the knot
Because life goes on and it don't stop

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
[Skepsys]
Was ego bruisin' like goin' from kilo movin'
To pushin' dime bags 'cause you like a primo to me
And I see you on that bullshit you doin'
I used to clown on you for that pulpit you flew in
Two kids - we were so young and innocent
Both came up around some drug dealer pitchin' shit
And I was the first one to cop it
You shitted on your boy, now you the one that can't stop it
And damn near smoked yourself stupid
We never really did know who your real crew is
Word is bond kid, I ran into your mother
And felt her pain when she said I'm 'posed to be your brother
I wondered if she know about your snake shit
But she a queen and her heart's already breakin'
Won't be the one to tell her to stay strong
So get your mind right, hope she ain't got to wait long

[Hook]

[Outro]
[Ziggid]
R.I.P. Real D, Zoetic Minds
Rest in peace, brother
[Real D]
And don't worry about it neither
I just had to take a breather, peace

Another day another dollar
for this scholar to acknowledge what The Father has planned.
Planted in deep inside of the furthest reaches of my cerebrum, I speak
freedom in believing we preach it with hands.
Reversing the, seeds of hatred in my heart, recreating it to art
until, death do us part, I refrain to hit the fan.
A sense of destiny to empty out my energy
it was already written before the pen hit the pad..
This is where I'm at.

25 and alive I keep it moving
I got more problems than I do solutions
Stuck in my head
tugging at my heart
Tryna feel again..
See this never ends..
This is where I've been.

There's a war going on inside no man is safe from.
I'm chasing paper on this narrow path to save 'em.
and spend it with my day ones and education.
See I'm moving through these minutes wisely
tryna find peace, in getting my piece of the puzzle that defines me.
Cuz ain't no love in the streets but strange looks
at the rose of concrete who didn't walk the path they took.
Too ghetto for my class,
too classy for the ghetto.
These rappers is pinochhio, 
return 'em to Jepetto.
I leave behind something than L.O.,
cuz left overs rot, but not food for thought fellows.
Mellowed out, settled down when I push the pen around
when in doubt, pray about it, stuck among the lost and found.
I'm just another undiscovered flier on the wall.
Wearing my heart on my sleeve that's been afraid to fall.

Where I've Been (Prod. w/u)

I was motivated by the Akai MPD26 and made a few records.

How Lovers Hurt

Make Loot Ft Zeotic Minds

My latest guest looks and sounds a lot like my first, because he is. I welcomed back Herman Grewal, aka Skepsys, to the podcast to talk about the newly-released final album from Zoetic Minds. Herman took on the impossible task of eulogizing his producer, friend, and creative partner Zack Richard aka Ziggid, who tragically passed before the album could be completed.  While we certainly pay tribute to the genius of Ziggid and the indelible impact he made on both of us, we also talked music, man. Hip Hop. Join us as we review Margin of Error (now available wherever you listen to music) track-by-track, diving deep into the process of putting together a work that is both beautiful as a piece of music and poignant as a message.

Pieces Podcast Episode 11 - Skepsys, Margin of Error

Zoetic Minds is a hiphop duo- Skepsys and Ziggid. Out of San Jose,CA, Zoetic Minds infuses modern sounds while remaining true to the roots of hiphop.
