Worry? You will
Watch yourself, they play for keeps
Yeah
You know it was gonna happen sooner or later
Well, this shit's about to go down
I'm trying to annihilate this English language
The criminals they came with, imitate the natives
This rap contagious, like chicken pox
No inoculations, ain't no competition
In a calm position, writing composition
Sequence of God when I'm speaking on mic
What they do with my type?, they might crucify him
Stretch out my palms, take spikes and nail 'em in
In the belly of Leviathan, aww shit it's him again
Mastered his mind and body with a pen
California native, swimming in these hot winters
Bet on me to lose but I keep winning
Til they give me that drip, like Mike this is it
And my spirit floats in to that astro light
I know my angelic, guards on point like Earvin Magic
l just bounce pass havoc
Civilized savage I mask it well
How you think I managed to stay out them jails
Plus these punk judges running up the bail
I don't see justice when I'm looking at the scales
Never see me coming, but I'm here goddamn it
When it comes to the plan I'mma master mine
You're a slave to the flesh, I mastered mine
This mic is my wings I can't stop flying
Like scientology I talk to the spirits
Mobb Deep, Prodigy, Pac, and Pun
I guess heaven's got a ghetto, better than the devil's
Best at this level, they don't fear death til they're staring down the barrel
N's can't create they're sterile
Let it echo through your ear if you hear slow
Don't know a challenger to dodge
Or beat the odds, you see these rap Gods
Live in facades til their bridges fall
Or their head is off, I Molotov cocktail rap til it's flaming
Then I pour rain
Like Curry from the arc, til the flooding starts
Then I take over like Napoleon Bone a part
Critics wanna pick apart my art ain't got the heart
To really understand or the eyes to see the vision
Def dumb and blind, you're wasting time
Never see me coming but I'm here
Never see me coming, but I'm here goddamn it
Had an ephiphany, with hat cocked
Linked with Black Drop with the mic as the centerpiece
Ugh! Reppin everything that you pretend to be
Lyrically, slay any rat in which you pittin' me
Toy around like Hasbro and get yo' ass tore
I'll get these hands swole for fam and cash flow
If actions speak louder than words
Then they're very few real ones, only a cotillion of herbs
These goof balls are too soft mere actors
Rupauls with loose jaws, they can't match us
Uggh! Go and rally your kin
We'll tally it then, you gon' lose like Halle with men
It's a no win situation is what you're facing
This here is hot shit, your spit is toxic
Geechies can't compete regardless of topics
Well above your bar I'm far too accomplished
Stellar, sharp shooting like Reggie Miller
Blasting on you pinky toes I'm Eddie you're Della
Stubborn kind of fella so your hating means nada
Humberto he no deal with akatas
How are they gonna understand, what they can't see
And if you can't understand, you definitely can't feel it
So we pay them no never mind

Yeah
Right
Yeah, I'm feelin' this shit, uggh
MP
Black Drop
Chess Moves, all day all night
Yeah, get live
Yo shit, can be dope as Medellin
My pedigree just a level up to the fiends
You sick? I'm the vaccine, no Vaseline
Mood like young Cube, car like Christine
My rap drive vicious, v8 motor up and down with the switches
Eastside with it
N's die at a high percentage still I'm optimistic
Dream lucid, see it to fruition
I'm the flu through the pandemic none sicker
My dash corrupt a hundred meters see I'm fast
To dog this mic like the pound when they beat up
Architect the sound the mound builder
This grand wizard talk when the fans visit
I'm just one grain of sand its a Long Beach to Venice
California menace long way from being finished though
Yep! I stay with plenty mo'
Guess who? It's MP in tha fla-desh
Chess moves, yeah that's how we're gon' get it
Ya best move? Bump this in ya Chevy
So let's groove, nod ya head if ya feel it
Guess who? It's MP in tha fla-desh
Chess moves, yeah that's how we're gon' get it
Ya best move? Bump this in ya Chevy
So let's groove, nod ya head if ya feel it
When it comes to this rap I don't want to be the best
Just a few rings world peace like Artest
Big body Chevy where the arm rest bless
Life looking gorgeous, God in the process of progress
Up and down like a forklift
Here to paint portraits in tune with the forces
Did them inner courses, 0 to 60 like them Porsches (Vroom!)
Gotta stay focused
Trained by them West Coast locsters
But now that I know I'm the closest I come
To the most high, in the multi dimensional universe
Jive ass n's
Go steal a purse in the tone of Carlito
The evil that men do I been through
The game of life simple, I know it's all mental
Now I'm on my Zen like a Hindu
Guess who? It's MP in tha fla-desh
Chess moves, yeah that's how we're gon' get it
Ya best move? Bump this in ya Chevy
So let's groove, nod ya head if ya feel it
Guess who? It's MP in tha fla-desh
Chess moves, yeah that's how we're gon' get it
Ya best move? Bump this in ya Chevy
So let's groove, nod ya head if ya feel it
It's eclectic rap connected
We stand like a megalift, dance I don't give a shit
Anger need management hang with the savages
That's what they label us aim at the black hoodie
Any n'a Trayvon similar to Akon
Still want me locked up in this new millennium
Of weirdos, I'mma stick to the G code
Shit I never told, gon' go to the grave with me
Produce a ghost story like 50 if you with me
Til then I stay busy
On these beats just think, nothing can harm us
A chink in the armor, we're putting out this love we just waiting on the karma
Riding in the parana like a 6-4
Patiently wait
Constrict space like an anaconda til they outta space
Then its take over
Guess who? It's MP in tha fla-desh
Chess moves, yeah that's how we're gon' get it
Ya best move? Bump this in ya Chevy
So let's groove, nod ya head if ya feel it
Guess who? It's MP in tha fla-desh
Chess moves, yeah that's how we're gon' get it
Ya best move? Bump this in ya Chevy
So let's groove, nod ya head if ya feel it
MP, I'm feelin' this man
This the one! This shit hot right here
I don't think they're ready
This how we do it! Chess moves
You know what I'm sayin', all day all night
Black Drop! They better recognize! Yeah

Made Off
04:09
|

Yep!, uh huh
Once again, it's that Black Drop squad
Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to give you, another one
MP the Great! Get 'em
I'm starting to hear colors and see sounds
You're bound by the senses, limited to five
Guide through this matrix what you visualize
Manifest in time, it's really all mine
Creating advantageous collaborations
Gotta keep patient through the struggle
Wait for it to bubble, like it was meant to double
I'm trouble for 'em, nope I'm a symbol
Of peace like Prince in the purple
Rain but I'm a storm, children of the corn
And the cotton field, now them big wheels spin
On the Lac deVille, it's really ill fortuned
Still feel the pain of the system in ya new whip
Crypto currency they fucking with the money
They want us all chipped n's still crip walkin'
Lost in plain site, I really can't blame 'em
They stuck in a game of illusion exclusion
I came to clue 'em in through the music
Prove it through my movements, my actions speak louder than these words do
They'll ghost you for that power
Rest in peace Nip, Pac and Pimp C
The price of fame risky, the game of life iffy
When I die, I can't take it with me
So I don't rely on what man supply
Only what God give me, a symphony of notes
For these quotes in me I feel the devil tempting
Desire in my temple want the money and the Hennessy
My enemy's offer insulting to the God
Of the multiverse, came to earth in a Merkaba
Leave in a hearst I'mma leave 'em with these verses first
Or vice versa, climb out my hearst
And leave earth in a merkaba man
This shit gotta pay off
Never take a break or a day off
Apex pyramid scheme Madoff
Dreams to reality that's how I made off
This shit gotta pay off
Never take a break or a day off
Apex pyramid scheme Madoff
Dreams to reality that's how I made off
They think this a money game, like the lottery
Nah power ball in this dichotomy
Hoard all the property on the monopoly board
And the technology, keep 'em in accordance
With them black and white, four door Fords
With the color lights on 'em, these psyops are phony
Connect the dots, pops always told me
It's lonely on the road to success
Twelve n's in your circle, one'll get you stretched
That's the Judas theory, but ain't no fear in me
Like Afeni Shakur's son the blind in opposition
To the one that sees clearly, sincerely, rap severely
Ain't got a lazy, bone in my body
When I thug these harmonies artists want to score
Don't know the art of defending, make 'em pay for these shots
I'm bartending, God when I start pennin'
Murder ink, think with Gotti vision
It's something different in 'em, not swimming in the gene pool
DNA of the average dude
Play around with an animal and get ya face chewed
Hannibal Lector just to put in perspective
Primal fear start to bubble when you hear this
Devil ass n's I'm the Luc you fear
Appeared as the light bringer hear to free dumb, man
This shit gotta pay off
Never take a break or a day off
Apex pyramid scheme Madoff
Dreams to reality that's how I made off
This shit gotta pay off
Never take a break or a day off
Apex pyramid scheme Madoff
Dreams to reality that's how I made off
And there you have it
Once again, it's that Black Drop squad
This one's from MP the Great
Reppin' that eastside Watts, L.A.
West Coast, to the East
And all parts in between
Uh-huh, we gon' make it man
We gon' make it, ya dig

I wish a nigga would, start that mayhem
That Mayweather money lookin' good through the Ray Bands
All money ain't good, learned that from the hoodlums
My rap's a conundrum, you ain't trained to answer
My quotes flow off, so far ahead of y'all
I seem lost, inside my metaphors
I met the four-headed beast of Revelation
I ain't worried about competitors
Ichabod Crane no brain my head is yours
I do it with the force, it's with me like Fin
Spinnin' in my vortex or the voice of Whitney
Singing in my ear sent here to guard my body
Telling me it's my, prerogative like Bobby
Kill these kamikazes, they want it anyway
Why not today just obliging their logic
Teaching of the gnostics, blessed with the gift seen it coming like a prophet
20-20, I witness this
Walk in apocalypse, MP
You know the name
You know the name
I spit Lasik vision 20/20 eyeing the nations
20-20, I witness this
Walk in apocalypse, MP
You know the name
You know the name
So you can clearly the premise is basic
Young Kobe on the booth floor, I'm trying to score
This rap hill like Lauryn, don't care if the touring flop
The juggernaut, can't eat my soul
If you think I lost, we can roll that bet
Nature of the threat voice of God in anatomy
Grammy academies don't flatter me
I casually spit flow, defy gravity
Celebrate these, daily anniversaries
Breathing oxygen, Independence day
Infinite potential in the palm of the doctor
The phenom is born, ready to meet destiny
Definitely cooking, recipe success in the midst of Hell's kitchen
Devil itching to make a deal, it's been a drill
I give back to rap, for these tracks I killed
Flash of light men in black can't remember shit
Can't understand my penmanship I script in code
20-20, I witness this
Walk in apocalypse, MP
You know the name
You know the name
I spit Lasik vision 20/20 eyeing the nations
20-20, I witness this
Walk in apocalypse, MP
You know the name
You know the name
So you can clearly the premise is basic
If yo shit dope, I'm the poppy seed
Big and Pac on opposite ends if Faith had twins
I'd meet him, life after death now, they guide my pen
I psychic connect and let their ghost write
I just read it out of fright
This mic is like a glass pipe in the sight of Pookie
But I don't worry about my last nights
Future lookin' bright, climbed out that grave
Dedicated to the art form, fuck it if the rent double
Live out my truck, drifting in a bubble
This a different world, fuck Dr. Huxtable
Black intellectuals a product of the beast
N's on the yard, thieves in the night
The same synonyms they used to talk about Christ
I walk through the darkness, guided by the highest light
Messiah type with a punch like Mike though
20-20, I witness this
Walk in apocalypse, MP
You know the name
You know the name
I spit Lasik vision 20/20 eyeing the nations
20-20, I witness this
Walk in apocalypse, MP
You know the name
You know the name
So you can clearly the premise is basic

Life's a cold game never fold because of bad hands
Give 'em the poker face til they understand
This is my pot, I will not lose
Don't get confused with it, which one of these n's
Want it with a warlock I run through the pain
I don't stop, calisthenics on these ghetto blocks
My city Watts, comes with a lot of risks
No time to watch, the plot thickens
No I'm not a Christian, but God sent him
For the visionary, it's scary to him
When they can't find your price or feed off your vices
Bomb on my back I'm in the building like Isis
Don't care about this life resurrect like Christ did
I'm Jason Kidd not the one with assists
Machete through your ribs
But this mask make me play safely with peers
The beer and Remy shots still got me in a haze
And I ain't had one in years
Still spit Everclear
120 proof in the booth truth everywhere.
Let's get one thing clear, this a West Coast melody
No fear, we still drop them Chevys
In the belly of the beast
Eastside, Westside n's we gon' ride 'til we rise up
This a West Coast melody
No fear, we still drop them Chevys
In the belly of the beast
Eastside, Westside n's we gon' ride 'til we rise up
I'm an old rookie, see the game lucky
It took me this long to frame the picture
But I spit with big arms like young Tookie
Rest in peace to the soldier it's a revolution
What type of n's you producin'
What's their contribution to the fall of these institutions
Malcolm X or the Martin Luthers, 2020
See the vision is evolution, stamina ready
Reservoir dog heart heavy never scared
Prepared for whatever there, rare features
Be aware of these dead preachers, and sneak these with a smile to greet ya
All the while, with bad intentions
My circumference is small
Keep the rest of y'all, at a long distance
Mister telephone man this is a new edition
My hooks get 'em fly fishing
Sneak dissin' get you fried with 'em
I provide the wisdom coincide with the knowledge given
Do the math it's a whole different algorithm
Let's get one thing clear, this a West Coast melody
No fear, we still drop them Chevys
In the belly of the beast
Eastside, Westside n's we gon' ride 'til we rise up
This a West Coast melody
No fear, we still drop them Chevys
In the belly of the beast
Eastside, Westside n's we gon' ride 'til we rise up
Yeah P, you got me going in my bag
From that hell hot place where the youth they play tag
But not with lasers, they're pretty loose with the blammers
Self worth diminished they plagued by sub par standards
Snakes will always slither
So we keep to ourselves to keep it moving like that old man river
Those who know, push through it and still remain quiet
Those who speak, will sell your ass out in a riot
We've seen these fuckers, came close but couldn't touch us
Got a crash course in reverence and had to love us
Their days are numbered, one eye cocked to slumber
The other, behind a scope on something that's made to numb ya
Pillage and plunder ill prepared best beware
They concentrating on camps to plant your black ass there
Acknowledge this quote, no joke from what is spoke
There is a bigger picture that's painted whether ya sleep or woke
Rise up

Dream this a King speech
Kareem Abdul Jabbar reach, born sinner
Cesarean birth, etherean light bender
The meek shall inherit the earth I carried it first
That God of brimstone you kneel and pray to
I was there, when he was heir to the throne
Got his big bang on, theories change
I'm able to get my Caine on
Kill a track in a hoodie like Trayvon, go beyond
Normal brain capacity I'm outta my mind
But it's, designed like Einstein
I went back to the future and left mine behind
I'm arsenic with rhyme, Jimi Hendrix
With a guitar pick, purple hazin
Pandemonium from the podium when the pendulum swings
I betta not hear a pen drop
I watch the day light, fade into night
West Coast nigga all my life
But I let my mind travel, light years away
Just another day on the Eastside... right
What they know about that Watts Super Bowl, man
Locke and Jordan, we needed an escort to get to that muthafucka man... Ha-Ha right
Here to the dethrone the big dogs, fallin' of Rome
Snatch your empire, twist like a gymnast
Lyrical composer, street novelist
Spit fire like Godzilla, feel the will of
God when I spit with the zeal of a prophet
Prodigal son returns
I'm hungry, not for a meal
Give me the recipe as long as the canopy
Of rap is covered, I love the energy
Deliver God the best the world can have the rest of me
It's etched in deep, I'm the vessel
My rap drives the vehicle, black lives matter
Plant life and animals, pain is unavoidable
Keep it minimal, simply enjoy the view
Watch my attitude don't move like these haters do
Taught by the realest dudes play by your own rules
I watch the day light, fade into night
West Coast nigga all my life
But I let my mind travel, light years away
Just another day on the Eastside... right
They don't know nothin' about dem Will Rogers Park free lunches
Fuck that Ted Watkins shit, man
They don't know nothin' about the Black tamale man on Avalon! Word
I'm own that God shit you got to kill me to stop it
Or jump out the cockpit
I'm committed to the flight not that plane old rap
Rocket out of sight, bent off that vodka
I'm a beast like Chewbacca
But I'm broke, like my Locke high locker, they hit my man
Cliff with a chopper
But you can't kill God on the Eastside block, we get up and walk
Surrounded by wise men like Jesus in a manger
Fuck what they talk about watch their behavior
Old Fantasia's American Idols
Prod 'em in line with, Hillary Rodham
If not give 'em sodomy, they love to fuck
And be entertained hear the pain in my language
Tryin' to wake niggas up
Can't duck the truth when it's hundred proof runnin' through your molecules
I watch the day light, fade into night
West Coast nigga all my life
But I let my mind travel, light years away
Just another day on the Eastside... right
What's up Big Cliff? Shit, I feel you baby! They can't kill God, baby! We get up and walk
What's up Payback? Shit, we grew up on dem cul de sacs in Watts, shit
Ain't nowhere else to go but up from there, right? Shit! We're doin' good baby
We ain't in the grave or in dem jails
What's up Brotha Blink? O Tha Reel One! San Brown! Skin Deep, where you at
Shit, I feel the spirit of Chris Small in this muthafucka, man! I know you're watchin
Black Drop! Eastside! Shit, we're here! Let's get this shit
