Artist: Prime Album: Lyricist Lounge Vol. 1 Song: No Matter Typed by: pmusil@ix.netcom.com Verse 1: Prime I'm trapped in the mind state gettin fly like magic rugs Doin and sellin drugs and praisin the thugs I was programmed this way so it ain't my fault Too late to turn back I might change an assault A whole lot to get into with little to do Hit girls right the first time so it's deja vu Payed the price my whole life, my attitude's a reciept Easily learnin life's ill's that are so hard to teach When I was crazy young I had ton's of fun Nowadays life's a bitch or a son of one Maybe to get this money I just really don't have the knack Maybe I'm on borrowed time that I can't pay back Or maybe I'm caught up in some Elm Street Dream And to get the hell out I must wake up by any means But how can a war be one, if no one had a fort Drinkin flamable solution, returnin to this thought Chorus: No matter how loud I pray, God don't hear a sound That's why I put my joint to the sky, let off a round Cause can't no other man Feel this black man's but another With no dough, goin insane (repeat) Verse 2: Prime Everyman has two lives, so there's two stories But both of mine are inbetween right and wrong like purgatory I express a lot of heart when I write About these stressful days and these nights cold like ice It's just like bad dice, you press your luck and you roll With efforts to make cash and now you in a deeper hole Oh no you wake up Cops all around and now you in some hand cuffs You need some bail money but your fam wanna front You think to yourself where your plan slipped up That's when your girl says she missed the time of the month That's when you feel funny and strange in your gut It's just that shit That makes a nigga grab the clip And just all out flip My rap flows real Fuck flavor, I kick real life in your ear I'm god sent Drinkin strong Brandy just stayin bent Chorus Verse 3: Prime Sometimes I want it all, but I know it can't happen So I buy pens to support this rap habit You silly rabbit, see tricks are for kids I'm not tryin to do bids and get fish like squids I'm on some power moves, against the powers that be I'm in another realm, against the powers that be Can you dig it? If you do grab that shit, twist that shit and swig it And taste the truth And feel the proof That's comin live through your speaker My thoughts are deeper, on the last page like a beeper Life is like an erection and some ass It feels real good, but it don't last So take a bowl and pass, cause gettin by ain't a game In these last babylonian days Drinkin flamable solution with a painful thought Drinkin flamable solution with this thought Chorus
