Wiz: Droppin' Knowledge - Volume 1

I normally don't do things like this, but all month long I've been deep in thought about...well everything. The best way I thought to get those thoughts out was to post what I feel, completely unrestricted. These posts are all my thoughts, my ideas, my opinions. 

So allow me to drop this knowledge...

1. Relationships

2. Sex

3. Money

4. Business

5. Friendship

Super Random Bonus: Earphones, Earbuds and Headphones

Hope you enjoy reading through these. I really enjoyed writing them out and I plan to do more in the future, God willin!

Droppin' Knowledge: Earphones, Earbuds, and Headphones

There’s no true superior in these three different types of ways to listen to your music. How you choose to listen is all up to personal preference. For some they’re all in the same. For others, there’s a whole world of debate open. Then there’s my opinion. And I’ll have to side with headphones.

Why? Because they provide the best sound quality, and ensure that you always maintain that sound quality. Added to the fact that they can be very stylish depending on the brand. The only problems I have with them is that they can be hard to manage, and they can pricey – Beats by Dr. Dre can cost almost $599. But I always say you pay for what you get, and if you pay for $599 headphones expect $599 sound. 

Conversely, earphones and earbuds (I have a hard time distinguishing the two) are extremely convenient; you can wear them almost anywhere, and they go right in, and come right out. The problem I constantly have with earphones/buds is that they will not stay in my ear. At all. I don’t know what it is, but whenever I try some earbuds out, they just jump out of my ears seconds after. On top of that, they break very easily and provide pretty weak sound quality compared to headphones.

But they’re CHEAP! And that’s a great thing, because they definitely fit the price. Like I said earlier, what you pay for is what you get, so whatever suits your preference is what’s right.

Droppin' Knowledge: Friendship

There’s no better feeling then living life knowing someone has your back. That someone will give you a cosign when you need it, those people are what we call friends, and to me they are the most important relationship you can have outside of a relationship with God and your family. The entire concept of friendship is a perfect representation of positivity between two people. Whenever you have a friend, there is some type of positive energy being shared between you two. Getting that energy to as many people as possible is something that I dream will one day take place within our society.

            Now the term “friends” is very loosely used these days, and it’s probably even lost some of its original meaning. My definition of a friend is simple – one who shares a positive emotional attachment with another. This positive attachment has to take precedent over any other feelings you have for the person, or it turns into hate, which is definitely not friendship. 

            How many friends should a person have depends on how close said friends are. Having just the right amount of friends in your smallest circle is important. I would say that everyone considered, I have only about a handful of very close friends. Now I don’t like getting into numbers, but I would say about 20 tops. And these are people I would share my life with actively, as well as look out for. My entire circle of friends consists of probably like everyone I’ve ever had a positive conversation with on several occasions.

            It was really hard to write this because it has become hard to explain the dynamics of friendship. And it was equally hard to write while not trying to sound too cheesy! But as long as you spread that positive energy to others, and they do the same, the ship of friends will always stay afloat. (How’s that for cheesy?)

Droppin' Knowledge: Business

Business is not about doing what is right for the good of mankind. Business is about doing what is right for the good of profit. That is the main goal when you are doing business, and that goes for any level you’re on. Selling crack on the streets is just as much of a business as anything else is. The only difference is the legitimacy of the income. When I think about business, the first thing that comes to my mind, and probably to a lot of your minds is a large corporation, headed by a young CEO making billions doing whatever that company does. But when you actually step back and look at the entire picture, every business is doing the same exact thing. They want to push their product, or their “brand” out there, and they want you to invest in that brand.

            The investment we make in that business then fuels their whole operation. They make more of what we want, we buy more, and the cycle continues until the times change. And sometimes they never change. We see companies that have been around for ages – companies like AT&T, GE, Ford – companies that have simply stuck with the times.

            I believe that the act of doing business will never be pure, no matter what it is being done for. The reason lies within the goal of business – money. (Read the write-up on Money for more info) There will always be a hidden agenda, some shadiness going on behind the scenes. Yeah you can market this product in such a way that it seems like it’s for a good cause, but personal gain will always triumph over collective gain. We as a people must first understand this before we understand how to make business something beneficial not just in a financial aspect, but in a social aspect as well.

Droppin' Knowledge: Money

Mo money, mo problems. Less money, mo problems. Cash Ruins Everything Around Me, CREAM, Dolla Dolla Will Kill Yall. The mere existence of money causes problems. At the same time, everything we have on this Earth is a affected by money. It's weird even taking a stance on this, because you really can't. Look at the rich and the wealthy, they'll tell you that they aren't happy. At the same time, are poor people happy? Are even middle class people happy? We tend to create attachment to things such as money, when in plain reality there is nothing to gain from having it. But there is lots to lose from not having it...which creates a weird paradigm between money and us, the people who obtain it.

To me, as long as I have enough money to live life at a satisfying pace (satisfying being subjective), then I'm fine. I don't want to be rich. If I want something and it costs too much, then oh well. I've learned that nothing in this world is truly worth the money. Period. I might buy something I want, and I find enjoyment in it for an extended amount of time, but at the end of the day I would be perfectly fine without it.

This excludes the necessities of life of course. "Necessities" however, has become somewhat subjective as well. Not including the obvious food, water, shelter, etc, what I consider a necessity (like internet), might not be a necessity to you. Money comes into this equation because it's the only way to maintain these necessities.

So what do you do? Spend your whole life trying to stack your paper to the ceiling? Or just do whatever makes you happy, no matter how much money comes with it?

Answer: A bit of both, honestly. It's just the world we live in. I believe in doing what makes you happy, but make sure it's something that will bring you long time happiness (or satisfaction if happiness is too cheesy) and income. How much happiness? That's up to you. Same with the income.

So if I confused you throughout this, I understand. My stance on money is really hard to explain. Basically, It's good for us, and it's bad for us. We just gotta find a way to make it work for us, instead of working for it.

Droppin' Knowledge: Sex

Sex is huge. The whole concept is embedded into our minds at a VERY young age, and it's one of the few things we don't really take time out to think "why?" Sex has become a large business, and I just don't mean pornography. We give so much of our attention and time to huge sex symbols that we forget why they are even famous. Perfect example: Kim Kardashian. What on God's green earth has she done (besides release a sextape) to become so famous? If you answered "be an incredibly hot model", then you're correct. People love sex and sex symbols because most of the time it correlates with pleasure. And people love pleasure. Therefore we focus so much on pleasure, and pleasing our selves just for a few minutes that we put sex over more important things.

Is sex bad? Of course not. How do you think you got here? But the thing I don't like is how sex has become such a driving force in relationships, and that is not a good thing. For me personally, I will only have sex with one person in my life, not one time, but only one person. That person has to be with the person who I can say yes to. And by yes, I mean "Am I willing to have a child with this person?" "Am I willing to have emotional attachment to this person forever, no matter how small it may be?" "Am I willing to step up and be responsible for whatever comes from this?"

Look at it like a video game with DLC (Downloadable Content). Sex is an add-on in a relationship. It's not needed, but it does add a new pleasure (which wont last forever). However, most players/developers think that extra content (aka sex) is super important, and they need every bit of it. Not the best analogy but you get my point.

All in all, once you find the right one, have sex to your hearts content. Just learn how to prioritize first, because you want stability before pleasure.

Droppin' Knowledge: Relationships

It's all under siege. By who you ask? BY US. We don't want to be committed anymore like previous generations. We take relationships for less than what they're worth now. I know people who've been in 3-4 different relationships all in the span of a year, some of them I knew really well. It's okay to do in high school, but relationships in high school wont last, point blank period, but if you're out in the world, it's time to strap down and get serious. About everything. (Well not EVERYTHING, but yeah.) That doesn't mean you have to find a chick who will ride it out with you from the first day you step in college, but it means you start taking more things into account when it comes to a partner, because there is more at stake for both of you. It's a hard thing to do, and many people stress themselves (myself included) way too much over relationships and such. And for us guys, the ladies are a huge part of that stress, thought we accept it.

I think women are a blessing to this world. Just think, do you know how wack the world would be if it were guys only? That being said, I will never put a female on a higher pedestal than she deserves. When both the man and the woman are on equal levels, as far as anything goes, that's when the synergy is most likely to grow.

There are some roles the man must take, and some the female must take (like cooking my dinner! ...just kidding.) and those roles tie into that synergy. I don't say it's 50/50...I say it's 100/100, because both sides have to give everything in order the get the best results. If I give half, I'll never have the full thing, and vice versa. The full thing is that feeling that progress is being made. The feeling that the relationship will last...possibly a lifetime.

WIZ vs. JAWO' - Freestyle Rap Faceoff!

Probably the two best writers on the SSBBSB, Wiz and Jawo' are in an ongoing rap battle. The rules are simple, 4 bars of rhymes. Take a look below at the heat that's been spit! The battle flows from top to bottom, with the most recent response at the end.

JAWO'
Alright, that's it. Stop butcherin' the English language.
Y'all flows are complete shit. It's causin' me mental anguish.
4 Bars only? Fine. I don't need a whole verse.
I'm killin' all you so quick, you partyin' in the back of the hearse.

WIZ
Butcher the English language? You've mastered that with no degree
I would much rather butcher your body while you're sippin' Sprite mixed with Ice tea
Boi please, the only thing killin is time, you'd do best to clock out
I'mma pull the rocks out, put ya on the front page of the paper with a scissor'd scalp

JAWO'
You're damn right I mastered it with no degree. I'm too smart for school.
You sure that's what you meant to say? Cuz you just made yourself sound like a fool.
I'm already off the clock. I'm pullin' overtime by cleanin' yo' garbage.
Your rocks, papers, and scissors are back where they belong: In yo' ass wedge.

WIZ
Jawo'...you smell like moldy swiss cheese mixed with expired Lima beans
And that's just your style, it reeks of that smell that even crack heads wouldn't fiend
Your shit is far below average, and I'm not sayin' it just to be mean
Might as well consider your frame divided in half with only a quarter of sixteen

JAWO' 
Below average shit? Is that the best you can rip me on?
And random repulsive rotten food fragrances? Really man...c'mon.
And now you comparin' me to picture frames and mathematics?
If you really want to impress me, then stop being a child and be more graphic.
 
WIZ
Oh you want me to get graphic? How about I stab you sadistically with somethin' phallic?
Right up your anus, and maybe if you don't cry I'll make it slightly less painless
But if you scream I'll stuff your mouth with a fistful of poisonous crayfish
And tell all of them first one to tear out of your body wins a pet bitch


JAWO' 
If you think my ass is gettin' tapped, I know it won't be from you.
'Cuz as far as I'm concerned, your crotch is see-through.
Either that or there's simply somethin' missin', so gettin' fucked by you is quite a feat.
They say you are what you eat, so no wonder you're nothin' but big meat.


WIZ
Whether short or long, my bars will stretch you like Armstrong
Drop the lighter, cause even with the fire you can't get any whiter
I'm spittin' venom like a spider, man the earth trembled when the wiz of oz was born
Step back cornball, you softer than a straight guy watchin gay male porn
 
JAWO'
I haven't forgotten about this, but but I'm too tired to think of a good response.
Maybe it's cuz y'all just so boring I don't even notice your taunts.
I'll come up with a better response once my yawns stop.
Until then, do me a favor and stop swipin' your lyrics from the pawn shop.

KING SILLY (directed at DNL)
With words we make peace. With words we create wars.
And with the words I speak now, I'm callin' out the King of whores.
What happened, Bobby? You fell silent before you had a chance to feel me.
Step up to the plate again and how 'bout you go one-on-one with King Silly.
 
WIZ
You couldn't think of a good response if you were drunk
tied up and at gun point with me screaming "Jawo put your bars up!"
But fuck it, I'm getting tired from just reading your non-sense
Now put the pot down, and stop selling dime bags for nine cents

JAWO'
The only reason you think I'm so high is 'cause you simply short.
Just like your flow, when you're compared to me you're only a half a quart.
You're the youngest of the literate litter here.You ain't no damn man, boi.
Anythin' I have to say to you will hurt more than that pussy plastic pistol toy. 


WIZ
Your rhymes are a great reflection of your life, boring and of no worth
So while you were spittin' I created a time machine to travel back and prevent your birth
Which in turn would prevent this curse of you plaguing the world with wackness
You're an under-the-ladder pussy, you'll catch bad luck the next time you claim blackness

WIZ (Bonus Bars)
When it comes to spittin' I ain't about tech sprayin' or dime bangin'
I'm all about rhyme layin', don't have to be blind to feel what I'm sayin'
I say crime's payin', I just kill time with this murderous line slayin'
Leave ya blazin', followed by a brainstorm when my mind's rainin'

Wiz - Black Magic

[Verse 1]
Guess who's back it's the wiz on the track
Call me the underground railroad, I'm back on the map
I broke our chains and I freed the slaves
The Black Abe Lincoln, I'm a mile paid
You're a mild raid, you forgot to save
I'm going boom on your tomb, the Lara Croft way
No cheat codes, in South Beach the Heat froze
Don't speak slow if 32 karats is auction flow
Everbody knows I'm a Sphinx with the nose
Anubis with the mummies Indiana with Jones
A dog for the bones don't search Google for chrome
Stay off the dome cause I'm a Falcon at home
A Caesar in Rome, throwin' sticks not stones
The big bad Wiz, blowin up your speakerphone
Not rap I poem, yet I still keep flowin'
Never charged with battery, energized to keep goin'

[Verse 2]
And going, I'm determined to win
Not only in life, but when I've reached the end
When nothin is left, I wanna be on the right
Hand of the throne, to live in the light
Our flight, never ends, we have to defend
The only soul we have, don't give in to sin
Resist temptation from the several demons
They're feenin' for your immoral bleedin'
Not preachin' but these words are profound
If you never heard em well you're hearing em now
So in order to win, let me reiterate
This isn't of wizardry nor it relates
I state, this black magic is different
It's the power of the people to all repent
Dispel our spells, drive out the demons
The plague we escape, yet we still are breathin'
We gotta fight this fight until our leavin'
Be strong through the struggles during every season
Follow our path, stay within reason
No matter what comes your way don't stop beleivin'
Our journey is a tough one, filled with greivin'
Remain true to self, never breaking even
We will defeat him, send him back to the pen
Enternal life sentence, either lose or you win


[Verse 3]
The Wiz will never fall, in a league of my own
Yet I still give thanks, and I always atone
And on the microphone, I show no pity
I say what I feel, no hatred within me
See no evil, I'm blinded by the glow
Hear no evil, most def in the zone
Speak no evil, mute the mic with my flow
And do no evil, death begins on life row

Wiz - King Koopa

Here's a little something I decided to release for everyone to check out. I know the quality is a little iffy, but I really wanted to showcase this track. Shoutout to the illest producer of all time, DJ Premier!

KING KOOPA - LISTEN/DOWNLOAD

LYRICS

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Yeah, it's the wiz...
And we're in the Mushroom Kingdom...
Listen...

Lyrically, I'm a hungry beast and this beat is my feast
So when it's dinner time I regurgitate and rise like yeast
The least common denominator but the only factor
Plowing through your speakers like an old trailer tractor
Actor with no script my improv has been robbed
Lookin' like bad paint jobs, actin' like teenage snobs
One pea in this pod, yet I still have twice the green
I don't need Mary Jane, not ya friendly neighborhood dope fiend
No smoke screens on this scene, I stay claritin clear
I drop bob-omb's on every stage and I airship steer
Failure is my only fear yet we've never met
I leave him upset like a gambler deep in debt with no more bets
And no more checks, I wreck reps like it's my 9 to 5
Leave you slimes to slide down this slope like a kids ride
You better hide, when Wiz rises you start runnin'
Cause I'm comin for the top spot, once I get a hold I will not drop
or chop block, catch me outside with the tools like a pit stop
Leave you and your ride leakin, but I ain't squeezin'
Leave that to my Goombas and Koopas, my henchmen stay schemin'
Kidnapped your princess and all the stars, I stay beamin'
You stay leanin' after I finish this you'll go back to crack feenin'
So keep dreamin', you're gonna need more than the Mario bros to stop the ruler
Flow colder than the ice in your cooler, breathin' fire on every beat, it's King Koopa

Wiz - World Class

[Intro - Wiz]
I need no introduction, I'll speak from my mind
So pay attention as I mention things that define
My greatness, which has been the source of my success
This is the World Class, the Wiz at his best



[Verse 1 - Wiz]
I'm like a phenomenon, there's only one of me
And only one Wiz that can spit so beautifully
I'm a one man symphony, no need to harmonize
I'll serve ya food for thought, even make it supersized
But my words'll fly over ya head, just call it fast food
I might even switch up the flow depending on my mood
Despite all that, don't ever think I'll change
Cause I got enough sense not break bread with these gents
And I got enough rents to send ya packin' to ya tents
Wiz don't ride the bench, he sends rappers to it
Always steppin' my game up, consider me a shoe-in
No one can ball in my court, let alone push for a case
I'll even tell ya I'm guilty while puttin shame to ya face
If this was a race, I'd always be runnin' this track
You'd be trailing the pack, ya flow so behind you'll get overlapped
And I'll snap, on any player who wants to pick and choose
You'll eventually find out playin me is only lose-lose
Someone's goin home sad, the other one content
Like I broke off the weakest link, you failed to take the hint
I'm the best thing since sliced bread, I just took it whole
I'm the guy always that hammers these emcees like whack-a-mole
I'm the one above the fold, you the one foldin' under pressure
I'm the Wiz thats the ruler of the mic, no one can measure
To my skill, I kill, any prophecy, I fufill
Cause who's Wilzer to you? Is he just a guy you knew
Who started rapping out the blue like a dolphin at the zoo
Well cage me up in the sea, and watch me still go in raw
Takin bites of my prey and still spittin like Jabberjaw
You can't see my leagues, you can't fry my fish
You can't rock my boat, you can't do as you wish
I'm the Genie, please don't rub me the wrong way
Or your only wishes will be that you live another day
My flames too hot? Then stay out the kitchen
Matter of fact, get out of my sight, like conflict prevention
I bet yall are thinking, is this really Wiz?
Is this really the guy in class? I think it is.
Well you thought right, and I'm here all night
I can spit it, eat it, bop it, twist it, even rip it
And what's best is I can do it all without a gimmick
What you see is what you get, and tonight I'm comin clean
I'm part of the World Class, call me the Wiz machine. :)

Wiz - Wizdom

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
I gotta lost stream of consciousness...
Thought provoked and heartless
Every time I go write(right)
what's left I harvest
Thinkin that It's the natural
Same scene different time zone
Mother nature aborted the garden
With the words set in stone
I'm just a follower, adaptin' to the struggle
Present day life blastin' pasts from the shuttle
Countdown is imminent, no rent, nor ascent
Keep my quarter and my nickel, only thirty percent
System overload, hard drive crashes bandi-coots
and hogs hedges, no more green to shoot
I stole the loot, forgot to take the booty
Sailed the 8th sea but lost the movie
X marks the spot, tons of gold to share
All the worth to spare, no pollution in the air
Livin city life, was just chillin in the pond
Ninjas tryin to sink battleships,
Raisin the flag but not for long
Cause I'm walkin the plank
On one, foot blindfolded
Text bolded, words scolded
Copy pasta's became molded
And wrappers bein stolded
Grinch givin Christmas back
Said his tree fell down
Those same pirates were lumberjacks
With no swords on the mound
Chainin saws together round the house
Carol in a killin spree cause he did a roundabout
To the curb, fired his eggs on the side
Sunny side down, just so he can ride
On the moon, find some water and a spoon
So he can taste what he never made
Grabbed some ice and lemonade
Just for the serenade, picnickin' without the ants
Got the basket and the cloth, catching passes from Moss
Randy or Sinorice, keep runnin' for the chorus
But got down to 4th, two minute warning
And the football is porous
It's not for us but buy us
We play the same tune
Rap the same words
Just more deserted as the dunes
No Cactus pines, injecting 1000 needles
Then escape through the stage and go into fetal
Position, never changes, always bills and cards
Face right on 20, left on 5
Conspiracy looms as the country divides
War is civil, tired of con-feds not in the nation
Old timers novel, present day relation
Only read of wizdom, no happiness or tranquility
Inside my mind there is no stable stability...

Wiz - Wiz Got A Story To Tell

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Uh~
Huddle round the campfire...
And listen to the wiz spit fire...
Relax, take notes...yeah, uh~

Once upon a time--nah, fuck it
This shit right here gonna get real thuggish
Bitches love it, they never seen it, they always want it
Wiz never goes gangsta at least he never flaunts it
Now, picture me, back in the scene fresh out of New Orleans
Gettin' green in a mean lean machine, huh
Just gettin' home, baby mama gone
Real sweet chick, she's all brains and I'm brawn
I say all brain cause she's great in the head
She can suck a mean dick last night we messed up the bed
I was feelin' kinda grumpy, a little lumpy, from makin' money
So I went up the stairs in a bit of a hurry
Got in the room a smelled a foul odor
Happened last night when I caught a mad boner
Was bout to lay on the bed, but I couldn't do that
Took off the shirt, flipped up the mat
Found a gat, with the strap, ready to pat-pat
Shiny silver n' black, barrels lookin' kinda fat
To my surprise it wasn't mine, I keep my tools on me
Inspector Gadget, in case danger calls on me
It couldn't have been Patricia, she don't play wit guns
Unless you count mine, but no big puns
Her and I were the only two that lived here
Unless she had another ninja that was sleepin' here
I know that bitch ain't cheatin', else I'm beatin'
Both of they ass then I'll be unleashin
Run off then I'll mash, all too fast
Don't wanna jump to conclusions tho
Just keep it coolin, but if she was foolin'
I would get to toolin' yo
Put the mat down, had the gat behind my back
Heard the door open, almost had a heart attack
Pat just got home from a hard days work
Was about to play Sherlock, no fuckin' jerk
She got to the room and I pointed at her
Not the finger, not the gat, no time for chitter chatter
Where'd you get this? Don't speak no myth
Else we gonna have problems, and you dealin' with
I wanted answers, I'm the man she's the lady
I hold the tools, she get after this dick like Tracy
Said she need self-defense in case she get attacked
Well bitch, what good does it do under a mat?
Told her she got one more chance when I heard her phone ring
Picked that shit up, this nigga started talkin'
Gimme the loot, else you's a dead-nigga walkin'
Who the fuck is this, and why is he calllin'
Meanwhile this bitch start crying, thinking she stallin'
I grabbed the gat, hopped in the van she led me to his crib
All the while this mofo think he got dibs
On my cash, I'm fast when it comes to the stash
Van was on mash when we stopped at his place
Ready to go Rambo, leave with no trace
I see this ninja at the door, waitin' an' shit
Quick so I ram him, then I slam him
Then I cock the gun up, ready to blam him
Then I hear shots soundin' whole round in
I look back and see my wife pistol houndin'
Fired shots at this ninja, I know he was done fo'
I didn't wanna kill though, no time for the po'-po'
We ran in the van, escape like Taliban
Got back to the bed we ended up dead, yep

And that's what happened last night...

Wiz - Very Thankful (Featuring DNL)

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Gather round kids, it's feasting time
So Feast your eyes on beasting rhymes
We all in it for the food, but let's be in it for the mood
For thanks, and welcomes, so please don't be rude
Now me and DNL gonna sit 'round this meal
And gobble up these rhymes the way we feel
Then spit em' back out at you, just for appeal
It's gonna be on fire, we got a spit of steel
"I guess I should be thankful" was what our turkey said
Cause how you gonna revive something if it ain't dead?
So be greatful for greatness, cause that's what you're seeing
We're givin thanks, Christmasin' and New Years Eve'n!
So sit round with the Hood' and grab your plate
Cause we servin' up the best thanksgiving meal to date!


[Verse 2 - DNL]
Here we go again, that day of the year
when everyone reflects on how blessed they are
Sit around the table, family near
held hands, bowed heads-- the whole 9 yards
Indeed, they go to great lengths
to profess their gratefulness and set aside hatefulness
nothing wrong with that, just don’t relent
Giving Thanks on one day is not time well spent
if it’s the only day of the year when you consider
your precious, consider your dear
Keep it in your head, stay on the ball
cuz ya never might know when you’d lose your time
lose your mind
or, God forbid, lose it all
Now I had my words, I’ve said my peace
now let me let you go
enjoy your feast!


[Verse 3 - Wiz]
Welcome to the thanks, thanks for the welcomes
And thanks to my peeps, and welcome to the anthem
God's blessings to all, to all a good flight
Now allow me, the wiz, to give his thanks right
Shoutout to the Big D-O-G, G-O-D
Cause with him all things become possibility
I coulda been six feet underground, lost and never found
But I'm outta this world, just call me Earthbound
And I'm still around, hotter than your stove
More chill than your freezer, got more green than a grove
Anywho, I digress, and now I gotta progress
To thank the press for what they confessed
"Wiz is the greatest ever, we can't contest!
He's an immortal kombatant, still on his konquest!"
And I'm on to the next one, this time it's for yall
I'm just gonna throw it out there, so no screwballs
For you I'm very thankful, and thankful I will be
And that's all I played, end of the symphony...

Wiz - No Love Remix (Featuring Geno)

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Some people love the hate, others hate the love
Call me the Ace of Hearts, heir to the King of Clubs
Kept you throwin' Spades, but you're a Blood Diamond
I have a bloody heart; wounded yet still poundin'
Loveless soul searchin', results were so astounding
They told me not to fall, this hole is under-grounding
I'm locked inside my mind forever with no escape
Soon as I find the key I'll unlock my fate and...
Crush any opposition, without hesitation
You catchin' visions, I'll throw you revelations
So ahead of your time, my words are Apocalyptic
You read between the lines, but I ain't even bein' cryptic
I'm always on the move, my shock is never static
I made the system thug conscious, called it Trillmatic
Wiz is on the rise, your ceiling is my floor
Your mind now belongs to me, I just shut the door
Yeaaaaaa...so let's get dangerous I ain't a stranger just
The realest motherfucker spittin' angel dust and
Blessed be the bitches that break bread and bust
Cause Wiz never shares the wealth only in God I trust
In, I pop rock and hop after time like Justin
Case dropped so you rushed in for bail, or just fail
Full HP with flail, Wiz made a splash and wet the sail
No one else can rock the boat or build a moat
Or provide it with the flow needed to stay afloat
I wrote these rhymes to put an end to discussion
Of whose the best ever, I bang heads like concussions
Flip the script like Russians so when I'm on the mic rap Wizzes without flushin'
Sense ya blood rushin', you pumpin' it up like Budden
No cuttin' yourself just take me off the shelf cause I'm on the show floor
Proclaim my wealth cause I'm top tier and all these other emcees are eye sore
With no lore and no gore, I'm Kratos tearing apart mics like the rap God of War
And you're a bitch, a pussy, a slut, a whore
and I'm the one not givin' any love no more!


[Hook - Eminem]
It's a little too late to say that you're sorry now
You kicked me when I was down
But what you say, just (don't hurt me, it don't hurt me)
and I don't need you (no more), don't want to see you (no more)
Bitch you get (no love)
You show me nothing but hate
You ran me into the ground
But what comes around goes around
And you (don't hurt me)
You (don't hurt me, no more)
That's right, and I don't need you, don't want to see you
Bitch you get (no love)
And I don't need you (no more)
Bitch you get (no love)


[Verse 2 - Geno]
Alright Geno, step up to the mic, be patient,
You'll be in the trash if this chance gets wasted.
You gonna sit back and let them haters have at ya?
These bitches will be on their knees when you've made it ta' platinum.
They're gonna be blowin' you off like they did before ya fame,
Knowin' they're on your dick just to explore the game.
Well they can get fucked before I spread the love,
You bitches wanna kick me while I'm down, pray I don't get up.
'Cause damn man if I do, I ain't goin' back down,
I'm shootin' up the charts, yeah, gunnin' for cash now.
But it's time to crack down, fuck these average raps,
I'ma whip these pussies if they wanna fuck with the savage cats.
'Cause I ain't havin' that, you got something to say, just say it,
Absorbin' the hate like a kink in your hose, then spray it
All over you bitches like I was wielding Agent Orange,
And I guess someone fucked the game up because your tastes have been deformed.
Oh I've had it with you whores, you want your mind blown?
I skull fucked this bitch up, free stylin' off the dome.
It's time to put on a show, so raise those curtains,
Along with those fingers 'til your joints start burnin'.
No more jerkin' around, come into the light,
You backstabbers can trip in the dark and fall on a knife.
And I ain't holdin' back, this time there's no restrictions,
Go out and cop this track and put it on your gift list,
For Christmas, 'cause this shit just makes ya wish that,
I'd ease up on the licks but, I'll never hold my tongue,
'Cause I'm spittin' fire that's so hot it's got ya all dried up.
So haters line up, here's a pencil, take it,
Pen me into your top 5 and leave the rest vacant.
Erase the best, yeah I got them bitches runnin',
Quicker than Grigorieva got beat by her husband.
I'm goin' vegetarian 'cause the beef is too raw for me.
I got bars of steel so bite 'em and break all your teeth.
And now your jaw's are weak, but Geno's got the remedy,
Just throw this beat on and flow to the melody,
But,

[Hook - Eminem]
It's a little too late to say that you're sorry now
You kicked me when I was down
But what you say, just (don't hurt me, it don't hurt me)
and I don't need you (no more), don't want to see you (no more)
Bitch you get (no love)
You show me nothing but hate
You ran me into the ground
But what comes around goes around
And you (don't hurt me)
You (don't hurt me, no more)
That's right, and I don't need you, don't want to see you
Bitch you get (no love)
And I don't need you (no more)
Bitch you get (no love)

Wiz & Jawo - Motivation

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
You know that feeling you get
when you want to express your mind
But your mind mines you, words are hard to find
And they're even harder to put together
You struck a diamond but you can't even sell her
It's the creativity, we have it in potential
What we don't know is that our potential is exponential
There's a word called motivation and it's our raised power
We're the base so it only makes us greater by the hour
When you take your motivation and channel that energy
Things can be accomplished that were impossible originally
You can move mountains, you can put the world back in rotation
You can spit rhymes with a power so great it's in scientific notation
See that's why I write, I want to contain my thoughts into words
But my mind is like a battlefield, only the righteous can serve
I don't speak of hate, what's a negative raised to a higher level
It only becomes more negativity, one bad apple can rotten several
I speak of change, the way life is going we're playing 4 quarters
With no timeouts, with the defense keeping us cornered
I write to get past those barriers holding back progress
I want to break down those obstacles and find success
My goals are only to motivate, to inform, and to represent
All three are for whoever reads this, yet I still need consent
I want to know if my voice is heard, if I'm making a difference
If not, I'll continue to be motivated, call it a race to the finish.


[Hook - Wiz & Jawo']
My motivation...it's what drives me
My motivation...it's what sets me free
My motivation...my decree...
My motivation...my motivation...
MOTIVATION...!


[Verse 2- Jawo']
The things that motivate me are on a short and boring list
So it's taken forever for me to bring myself to write this
It's not like most mainstreamers who fill thier lives with drugs and sex
Talkin' about how much weed they hit and what slut they're fuckin' next
It's all the same shit, and I'm really sick of it all
Where's the substance and meaning? All I see is an empty brick wall.
They spit lyrics about having all they could ever want.
When in reality they're miserable...But I can't even front.
Sometimes I also write to try and escape from the real world.
Thinking about my current life only makes me want to hurl.
I don't think it matters if it's a bad or a good day.
Sometimes it's just the only way to say what I gotta say.
My head fills with thoughts, so this paper fills with ink.
Comin' up with messages designed to make you think.
Sometimes I write just to try and get a point across.
And I do that in the hopes that my life isn't a complete loss.
Hell, most of the time I write while bumpin' rock music
just sittin' here tryin' to come up with some hot new shit
Just something that works for me to get the creativity flowing
My own method to madness, and in the end it's certainly showing.
I write to entertain. To inspire. To show respect.
And to do all of that at once is the ultimate test.
I don't write to be original. I write to be myself.
and I'm writin' this right now, hopin' it's you that I can help.
My motive comes this moment, so here's my inspiration for you.
Got somethin' to say? Then pick up that pen and write with us, too.


[Hook - Wiz & Jawo']
My motivation...it's what drives me
My motivation...it's what sets me free
My motivation...my decree...
My motivation...my motivation...
MOTIVATION...!

Wiz - Lil' Mama

[Hook- Wiz]
Yeah she's hot, she's cool, I wanna make her my tool
But I can't! Oh lil' mama!!!
Yeah she's fine, her time, I wanna just make all mine
But I can't! Oh lil' mama....

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Now I normally don't sweat her
But hot damn she's like the sun in the summer with a sweater
I'm talkin bout, chick so hot, you woulda thought she died
And came back right after, more sweet than a pie
I just wanna take a bite, no matter the flavor
Apple, cherry, blueberry, I just wanna save her
From myself, cause I can't let lust defeat me
But it's pretty close to happenin', her life's in 3-D
And Imma make it 4, i'll give her a new dimension
Imma love her throughout time, a spacial connection
And we'll be blastin off again, now and forever
Or just until the time comes when you read this letter...


[Hook- Wiz]
Yeah she's hot, she's cool, I wanna make her my tool
But I can't! Oh lil' mama!!!
Yeah she's fine, her time, I wanna just make all mine
But I can't! Oh lil' mama....


[Verse 2 - Wiz]
She's at it again, playing tricks on my mind
She gives me brain teasers, on solutions to find
All I got are words to rhyme, to gain her love
At the rate that this is going I'll need help from above
So God send me a cupid, with a mic in his hand
That I can spit love through whenever I command
And allow her to hear everything that I say
Every message I relay, for every price that I pay
Cause today I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna rap these words
And she's my only stage, my only little bird
I hope she flies in our cage, so we can be locked up together
And we can stay behind these bars forever, and ever...


[Hook- Wiz]
Yeah she's hot, she's cool, I wanna make her my tool
But I can't! Oh lil' mama!!!
Yeah she's fine, her time, I wanna just make all mine
But I can't! Oh lil' mama....


[Verse 3 - Wiz]
So in closing, I want you to open your heart
And let me in, So I can never depart
Love is an art, and we are the artists
This track is for us, our eternal harvest
Welcome to the garden, lets plant our seeds
That will grow on forevermore, and live out our dreams
But I've already lived out mine and it's to be here with you
The future is never certain though, what will we do?
Whatever your decision, you choose with precision
Cause livin ain't livin less you givin your livin...to me...

Wiz - Death After Life

[Intro - Wiz]
Life...

and then you die.

This is death after life.


[Verse 1 - Wiz]
So it has begun once again
The question comes up, is it the end
Is it all over, is this the final chapter
Is this the end of my sorrows and laughter
I don't want him to go it's way to late
I had much more, this couldn't be my fate
Why God why, why'd you let this happen
Why'd you let death be the topic of my rappin
I didn't want to do it, but I knew I would
Cause people always be dyin up in this hood
This hood we call home, it's our place
Death is the reaper that we dont wanna face
I faced him before and here I stand
This rap from my grave, I write with my hand
I know it might be scary, a dead man talkin
But this is my Thriller, I now am walkin
To tell the story of my pain
The story of my sorrows
The story that I went through
To never see tomorrow
The last few minutes, that I had breath
The last few seconds, before my death

[Verse 2 - Wiz]
It began like a bad movie
I thought how could life possibly lose me
I had it all good, I had money and power
I stood strong willed, like a tall tower
But no, that's not enough to stay
That's why I do not breathe on this day
I couldn't escape it this fate
It felt like my heart just became a weight
I lost my soul, I became a shell
My only wish that God would keep me from Hell
But as I fell, I saw myself
My life my death and all my wealth
I knew they would be sad, but I didn't care
I was on the ground, not an eye in my stare
Everyone was sad, everyone cried
Everyone grieved, for the wiz had died.
Everyone was sad, I was number seven.
Everyone prayed that I was in Heaven
But do not fear for I am here
My corpse was writing what I would share
If I was on earth and still runnin
My battery died; no charger comin
It was my story and the beginning and the end
My Death after Life this is the message that I send.

Wiz - In The Zone ["The Brotherhood" Theme Song] (Featuring DNL & Nitish)

[Intro - Wiz]
Brotherhood, (yea) that's who we are
Ridin' round undercover like front of your car
You wanna go somewhere, we'll take you far
We got more fuel to burn than the biggest star
Cause we're official, no fouls in our game
We play by the rules, just livin' up to the name
If you in need of a spot, just pick up your phone
And dial W-I-Z, cause I stay in the ZONE


[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Formerly known as the Boyz in da Board
Just the cool people hangin' on a social cord
But that changed on the day that the Zone was open
"This place wont die" was what I was hopin'
My man DNL, who always stayed cool
And Kip, Nit and ION who joined up too
Together we're WINK'D, but please don't Judge
And If we don't accept you then please don't grudge
I Lax 2da Max, yeah, that's what I like to do
If you like laxin and maxin then you can join too
Here in the Zone? Yeah we're ice cold and chill
We don't use flames, don't bring your burn heal
If you got the wrong Idea you're just shittin bricks
And I'll break em' like Mario, throw your stones not ya sticks
Get N' or Get out, that's what we go by
I'm IN; ZONING OUT, Dark tell em' why!


[Verse 2 - DNL]
Sprang from Boyz in da Board
about 2 months ago
the Zone's just another place for people to post
when the board is like crack
(at least according to Whitney)
and it makes you sick
to even think to stick
around
looking for a place to post?
now we are found
relax, be down, we're gracious hosts
come chill with our crew, be a part of our pact
ain't nothin to it; ain't nothin to do
just post or begone
and that means you.


[Verse 3 - Wiz]
So now I gotta throwback to my ol' bro Sprite
With the old skool boyz he helped us start the flight
But this is just the start, the finish aint in sight
We blastin off higher than Meowth (that's right!)
To infinite and beyond, up and ascend-o
The Zone is a tune, try to catch our crescendo
Don't miss a beat or that's what you will be
You can lounge round here, but you gotta pay a fee
That's free without the R, like Zone without the Z
Cause the ONE you hear is at the top of the list (that's me!)
Streamin topics all week like he's about to take a pisssss
So in conclusion, in order to avoid confusion
You post here, and if we like, you stay
If were not really fond, then have a nice day
This ain't an announcement, It's just another post
We stay in the zone ridin, from coast to coast!


[Verse 4 - Nitish]
Yup yup its the brotherhood,
Strollin through the board like a baby would,
Trollin in our zone, no that’s no good,
Kick you outta the place? Yeah we could,
Just don’t piss us off, and then you can stay,
And like wiz said, there’s a fee that you gotta pay,
So, P-A-Y U-P, oh I meant to tell you what’s the fee,
It’s R-E-S-P-E-C-T, meaning respect now can’t you see?
That’s the way we be, that’s the way we is,
Chillin like 10 freezers, me and my bro wiz,
ION too, and don’t forget kip and DarkNight,
And I’mma quote wiz again, the finish aint in sight
There’s gonna be tons of brotherhoods, we just getting started,
we’s a crazy bunch, we’s just so fuckin’ retarded,
The Brotherhood, we always positive and that’s a big plus,
And the judges are like air, you always gon’ need us
