Let's Get Serious

Movin', smooth and smokin'

I ain't jokin', black smoke is chokin'
Any brother attemptin' to gas face
On me, he'll see a vision of black space
A taste of my bass is infinite darkness
Attempts in vain as he strains to embark this

Rhyme because it's written in allegory
He should have checked this out
Before he stepped to a vet 'cause rhymes like these
Take MCs to thirty-two degrees and freeze

Got you frozen like dry ice

But the smoke is black 'cause when you freeze, you burn twice
This clarifies the term freeze or burn
How many bodies will it take for MCs to learn?
You'll dissipate and disappear
Dispose of suspense, disintegrate
You're outta here, I got somethin' better to do
Instead of puttin' words together for you

Stop wastin' energy tryin' to do me
'Cause you can't do me, oh why can't you see?
You're wastin' T-I-M-E
It's time to get P-A-I-D
So fatten your payroll, lay low and chill
Because you can't get with this, let's get serious

Serious
Let's get serious
Serious
Serious
Let's get serious
Serious

Stop smilin' 'cause ain't nothin' funny

Who's laughin', who's got the real money?
Weak rappers'll say anything for a payday
And after their heyday, it's mayday and they say
"The harder you come, the harder you fall"
If I gotta come soft, I'll take a fall, y'all

Because my lyrics are hard, because I'm livin' hard
I manifested in man, but like a livin' god
Writin' so wicked, you depict it
As I kick it, the pain is inflicted
You can't evict it, afflict it, evict it
As it gets flipped, it's restricted, I fixed it

So the truth is heard, every spoken word
Brings action activated through a verb
Words are weapons, no half steppin'
Sticks and stones break bones, but words kept in-
Ducin' pain 'cause the truth is painful
A brain full of paint aims and tames the games
And sustains the pain

Explains the fame game, maintains the same name
Before the flame came
He was elusive and conducive
To flotation of egos, he who lives
Larger than life is caught up and delirious

Come down to earth and let's get serious

Serious
Let's get serious

I'm serious, all jokes aside

I write rhymes and get inside
Many tried, many died
Malcolm, Marcus, and Martin all coincide
With the rhymes I write on a spiritual level
I drop knowledge 'cause I'm a mental rebel

There's money to be made, brothers are gettin' paid
So wise up and stop gettin' played
Afraid of a conflict, goin' out like a convict
Destination is jail 'cause you're on this
Want this, want that, brain so compact
But we need strong minds ready for combat
An army of thinkin' men of action
Where overreactin' is not a reaction
A satisfaction, in fact, it's a fraction
A powerful passion subdued in a fashion

To make your mind tick like a time bomb
And when mine clicks, then I rhyme calm
The brain is explosive, the mouth's a gun

The lip's a clip and the trigger's a tongue
I'm shootin' brothers in life when I rock parties
And when it comes alive, then I got bodies
So bring body bags 'cause I'm shootin' to kill
We will and rebuild until we're serious

Serious
Let's get serious
Serious
Serious
Let's get serious
