Nightbreed - “Thirsty”
[Emcee(s): K.A. the Verbal Shogun and Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
[Producer(s): [?]]
[Hook: Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut and (K.A. the Verbal Shogun)] (x4)
You can
Curse me, (but I do this ‘cause I’m thirsty, so until the)
Time (I get paid), rhyme, (I do these) crimes (with no mercy)
[Verse 1: Nightbreed]
[K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
I’m sick of being
A bum, dwelling in the slums, feeling like a crumb
When hungry, I chew on gum, my friends screaming, (“Ha, save me some.”) Beach towels
On the floor like all ghetto rugs, house lit with sparks and lightning bugs
No juice for the sockets, there’s no use for the plugs
[Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
Eating
Vegetarian heroes because I couldn’t afford the meat, washing it down
With Sunny D juice ‘cause those were dirt-cheap. For snacks
I mixed my favorite four bags of chips, mayonnaise
Ketchup, and hot sauce I used as my dip
[K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
Couldn’t get
A grip on no real funds, so I stayed frustrated. Being broke
Is what I hated, and, again, my moms mated. Now I
Got a sister (Yeah, sister), and the dough is even tighter. Saw rich
Niggas in videos, so I became a rhyme-writer
[Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
Not a biter
‘Cause I was taught “always strive to be the best,” stayed up late
Writing rhymes, listening to beats for de-stress, but writing rhymes
Is taking me too long to make these ends meet, so I grab
A .45—it’s time to take it to the streets
[K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
And I’ma make you leak
By dumping lead by the tons if you get slick and not hand
Over them ones, and if you’re strapped, I’m taking the guns to commit
More crimes to buy new notebooks to fill with new rhymes
I hate every jux I did, but fuck it. Hard was the times
[Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
I wish I could quit
I hate the fact my own people I got to stick. It’s like
A base-head with crack being asked not to take a hit. Angry
With the world, I dare you to knock this chip off my shoulder. I take
What I want, don’t borrow nothing, so you can’t say I owe ya
[K.A. the Verbal Shogun]
I never bluffed
‘Cause I’m a Buffalo Soldier ready to strike. I tried to get
A deal during the day, so I had to steal during the night, but the process
Is taking forever. To get fast money, I do whatever
I done chose to do better, but, ‘til then, I cock back my hammer lever
[Oddbrawl the Lyrical Juggernaut (AKA Kev)]
I know
What goes around comes around, won’t let it slow me down. Come out
Your clothes right now, I’ma hold you down from your shoulders down. Until
My words the readers digest, I’m forced to lead my rest out on a
Stick-up quest because I’m under constant stress
