Lyrics[]
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
You and I makes unity
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
Do or do not, 'cause there is no try
Roman Catholic: circumsised, baptized, and saved
My body may be a slave to the grave
But my soul will be released
Meanwhile, the goal is to defeat the beast
Yo, and get ours, P.O.R, three stars and a sun
Pinoy Magtoto on the run from no one
Shogun in exile, style more alien than the X-files
Blood, shit, sweat, piss, tears, and no smiles
Just a bunch of dirty glory and wild laughter
With no story of the before or the after
'Cause exactly like a dream, I'm extremely in between
Approximately in the middle, if you know what I mean
Yes, I'm busy being a human being for my living
The unforgiven never gives up or ever gives in
Get it? Got it
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
You and I makes unity
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
Do or do not, 'cause there is no try
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Public enemy from beginning to the end
I stole a friend, so, now, wow! I'm whole again
Ascend into the hole, askin' the holy soul
The father, and son to burn my sin
So, why bother and run? You turn, I spin
And revolve around a situation that's resolved
Accepting invitations, I come get involved
Evolved ignorance irritates intelligentlemental
Brain cells smell celebate, infinitely impotent
I'm potent, on a trivial pursuit to be important
By any means or so it seems
Streams of consciousness are dreams of nothingness
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
You and I makes unity
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
Do or do not, 'cause there is no try
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Caught you acting dumb, how come you gettin' so frustrated?
Trying to give me your fronts, me and your fronts is not related
My suggestion's to go back out, no diggy straight it
'Cause I've got a smokin' gun, don't leave your shit infiltrated
Ain't lookin' for that scene, but, I mean, you just made it
Now, go get faded, your attitude not appreciated
I hate it
Them rhymes just strike me every time
When a brother tries to whine and put some stress on my mind
Little do he know that I just came to unwind
To see some boombastic butts bumpin' like the Grind
Yo, one more time, it's plain and simple
Stress remains behind your temple
Not stuffed and all up in my face like a pimple
And hold the vocals, boy, I settle for the instrumental
In other words, the reason is your gangsta talk's a rental
And I don't see the need to get up close and personal
If you wants to know the fragrance, I'mma tell
Oh well, you just scram like you saved by the bell
Plus, when your boys ask what's up, then it ain't hard to tell
Tell 'em you believed from your all about beef type of spell
Ha ha, they gonna tell all swell ends well
'Cause I don't see
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
You and I makes unity
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
Do or do not, 'cause there is no try
It don't take aggression to make a man strong
A lesson in patience takes too damn long
A trail of trials and tribulation
Frail, fragile, wail agile agitation
Expect anticipation of ego death
Collect a slow breath, sigh of relief
High on belief and strung out on faith
So, screw scrutinizing fate, for real, feeling my tears
Concealing my fears, fertilizing hate
Frustrated hatred, trust is sacred
So practice sacrificing, enough suffering
All of a sudden, ideas appear abundant
Straining the brain and cramming became redundant
Hundred percent inspiration comes and goes
Innovation runs and flows through my flawless rawness
Mistakes and all, if you imitate, you fall like autumn, rock bottom
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
Why you puttin' stress on my mind?
The one day that I came to unwind
Yo, I got six days of grief, one for stress relief
So when I come in peace, don't bring the beef, 'cause me don't want that
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
You and I makes unity
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
Do or do not, 'cause there is no try
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
You and I makes unity
It's the list of priority
Me and my family
Do or do not, 'cause there is no try
