lyrics

Yeah... One time for ya Mind!
Tallisman the Mystics

It seems the season for treason so mc’z be unpleasing
That’s the reason many people be saying “All mc’z are cheesy”
But that ain’t true that’s a lie believe me
But if it was true and we was cheesy then I’d be better
See I’d be cheddar with mad flavour!
I whoop-up the parties when I loop up my samples
& all forms of wackness in my cypha it gets trampled
Dismantled with a quickness I’m sick of this you go lyrical fitness
But your content it is nonsense should be past tense (why?)
Cause you a bomb shell sucka
The kinds I used to hear my moms tell about
The kind that look good but there’s nothing inside cause it’s all on the out
No doubt you got clout & so you think your position is firm
But it’s about scripts that I’m flipping so you best listen & learn
You gonna get burned if you let words not deeds be your adorning
Lord I think we need heed the warning…

Let deeds not words be your adorning
We better heed the warning
I think we need to heed the warning…
deeds not words not words…

Let deeds not words be your adorning listen I’m warning
Y’all Mafiosos thugs & gangsters we @ war son
We need soldiers not players it’s not a game & it’s gotten colder plus so ill
For real I’m counting mole hills sprouting boulders becoming mountains what’s the deal
It’s amazing the way that black mc’z wanna represent Italy with the crap they saying
Claiming they keep it real & represent to the fullest displaying
There’s more lead between their ears than in the bullets they ain’t spraying
What I’m saying: we need to focus on deeds & elevation
I’m saying: we need to focus on reality stop escaping
I’m slaying wack mc’z betraying the trust given to us
When we pick up the M-I-C & begin to bust
See the lyrics that we conveyin’s more than words it’s lifestyles
Portrayed in rhyme styles imitated by shorties so most be trife styles
Perpetuated strife styles taking lives while / We take no responsibility…

Let deeds not words be your adorning
We better heed the warning
I think we need to heed the warning…
deeds not words not words…

Some mc’z act like they don’t know & they don’t know
But they still flow thinking it won’t show but it do show
It’s crucial that ya find out ask my crew yo!
When the rhymes out then the time’s out for you bros
Lights out it’s time now for a new show
We gon’ shine now with new flows
That truly reflect & represent how we do yo!
Words manifested physically… deeds actions deeds physically
Transmuted into linguistics exquisitely placed in time
Rhymes rhythmically encased in beats & bass &
We find ‘em blaring from jeeps & basements &
Motivating peeps & blowing minds
Shifting paradigms from the basser to the better
You will see bros with every letter my people flow phatter
& paralyze the wack the terrorise tracks with bull fecal matter
This does not flatter the nobility of our station
As human beings true indeed & it’s trying my patience…

Let deeds not words be your adorning
We better heed the warning
I think we need to heed the warning…
deeds not words not words…
