E-TOWN CONCRETE LYRICS

1. Mandibles

i'll take a bullet 'tween my mandibles.
it's the path i chose, took life and i grabbed the balls.
i rose like an animal and the jungle taught me to handle foes.

to all you mother f'er's, heifers and half steppers
the best of us is yet to come and you ain't seen the last of us.
i am the kid that no body ever gave a fuck about.
curse words and the worst words were the first words
coming out my mouth.
stated out with nothing so we had nothing to lose
never had an option so there was nothing to choose.
it was all about turning food stamps into cash.
buy some dipsey doodles with a food stamp get 75 cents back
what you know about that now.

in my darkest hour it seems that i can't make it
i find the strengh within to know that i can take it
finger on the trigger you know you better pull it
barrel in my mouth i learned to bite the bullet.

2. More Than Incredible

i was born in the house of blues,
propelled by the winds of change
entertained by the theater of pain.
born for y'all to scream my name.
i played and bathed both the same in dirty street puddles.
stayed forever in trouble, my mom skipped it, i got licked
and cracked with folding chairs when tempers flared.

i am more than incredible
track record is impeccable, so turn this track up a few decibels
all i'm really trying to do is live and stack a few.. ok maybe
more than a few decimals.

i'm supposed to fall out and lose
but i swear to god i will sustain
my arrogant ass will never change
i'm trying to set the world ablaze and make enough
spare change so i can cop that range
but i understand this, i survived through madness
so if my tactics is brash it's cause i never had shit
i laugh at these so-called "artistic" bastards
they're so afraid of success, maybe cause they can't hack it
i'll take my chances.

decimals. even with them cats that's next to you
i'm bringing wreck to dudes, i'm disrespec-ti-ful
my excuse is that i rep jeruz and plus i really don't expect to lose
my debut is like a spectacle
and your ears are left susceptible
so many hits that i can pick and choose
i'm rocking out like this is was motley crue
and now you goons assume you're stopping who?

i don't think that you want it
i don't think that you do
no, you don't seem to want it do you? na-na-na-na-no-no

3. Metroid

they say that which has been born into the darkness
shall come into the light.. step into the light

i've had my dreams slip out from beneath my nose.
in a world so cold that my heart was frozen.
journey beyond the pale white snow
and emerge from the winter of my discontent
i won't consent to anything less that 110%
i won't lament, lay, or lick my wounds.
i will not repent, kneel or bow to you.. fuckin fool.

hold on to my hand.
walk with me from your demise.

i won't retreat.
i won't be made weak by the thorns in my feet.
i will walk til' i bleed or die from fatigue and beyond if need be.
believe me, you will not defeat me, i swear to god.
and that's a promise i'll keep until i'm 6 feet deep motherfucker.

4. So Many Nights

so many nights i prayed that this would just stop.
awoke out of my sleep by a sound of a popped lock
my heart would drop to the ground, maybe the fact that my
pops wasn't around forced you to found these guys that would
just knocked you down or beat you around.
i don't know. my innocence was lost back then not to be found
and in a sense its like this world was just weighing me down,
leaning it's weight hard on my shoulders.
making my heart less warm and much more colder,
chip off my tooth and a chip on my shoulders.
i told ya'll that i don't play.
i seen drama every goddamn day.
so go ahead, yip yab away, cause now you got a lot to say.

cast your judgments, cast all your stones.
holding my hands, holding on to everything i have
because it's slipping away so fast and it's all i have.

i was like 6 then, we had no pot to piss in.
while most kids lives consists of shine and glisten,
mine was lined with mischief. a boy flipping.
devoid of times you find joy to reminisce in.
it's like time was missing, years were passing.
i was inside while kids were outside laughing.
no time for games, their fake toy planes were crashing,
while me.. my life was crashing.
at night fist fight left my mom's face smashed in.
her man's blasted, he threw her down a flight of stairs.
alone and scared i stared in eyes of men who didn't care.
my father was never there. now i am prepared for this
lifetime that is unfair, in life i fight from the bottom to the top.
in this life i had to fight for all that i got.
it hurts but i still won't stop, 'til my casket drops.

5. Let's Go

everyday we hit the ground running
we keep the crowd jumping, we keep the club bumping, we give you all something,
it don't matter how we flip our style because we make it happen.
so versatile i hit you screaming or i'll hit you rapping.
now what-cha yapping, shut your trap before you catch a slapping.
stop your whining, it's our time and this was bound to happen.
now put your hands together and get to clapping.
clap-clap-clap, before i get to clapping.

you know that we rock, ain't afraid to roll, you know that the concrete
will crack your skull, i'm trying to make about a thousand o's
so let's go. you know that we rock, ain't afraid to roll,
you know that the concrete will crack your skull,
i'm trying to rip about a thousand shows, so let's go.

every night we coming out swinging, we get the crowd singing,
ears ringing, listen, we do our damn thing man
it don't matter how you knock us down because we're still kicking
it don't matter how you hate my style because i'm still spitting
it don't matter how we flip our style because we make it happen.
so versatile i hit you screaming or i'll hit you rapping.
now what-cha yapping, shut your trap before you catch a slapping.
stop your whining, it's our time and this was bound to happen.
now put your hands together and get to clapping.
clap-clap-clap, before i get to clapping.

6. Baptism

the day is mine, the night is also mine.
thou hast set all the borders of this earth.
but i've never been one to believe in the preconceived limit
that's set for me. i'll spit in the face of the haters as i march
closer to victory.

and my time is here. my time
and my time is now.

and that's the god's honest
combine this with the knowledge that i've acquired
learning from my mistakes, i'm baptized by fire.

i've had the ground fall from beneath my toes.
scraped my knees on the concrete, and still i rose.

this war has just begun.

7. Appetite For Distinction

i am back with a vendetta
with that same hunger that i had back in the day when my
tv had a hanger for an antenna. ya'll is just beginners,
we been sweated through hot summers and froze in cold
winters. and now you ask "that the fuck got in us?"
shit.. you wanna know? let me explain this:

it's the same shit that we came with back in '95
built our name with. we maintained it and now your lame clique
wanna come out of thin air trying to claim this.
listen, you ain't shit, and your just about through.

to all my people who was close to me
to all my people who used to smile and boast with me
or rose a toast with me how come we ain't down like we supposed to be?
everything we got, we got the hard way.
we built this brick our way, our way.

so put you, put your hands up high.
so put you, put your hands up high.
i'm so fuckin hungry that i'm starving to death,
i'm trying to eat until there's no food left.
i'm trying to breathe until i got no breath.

i'm coming through putting dents in the game.
i'm sick and tired of all these wack bands sounding the same.
you should've rented your name, i'm ending your 15 minutes
of fame. i'm here now, things will change.
a rock n' roll singer with a rap mentality.
it's your fault, you did this, you brought this out of me.
doubting me ain't never got no one nothing but proved wrong.
i've been doing this here for too long

this is the sound of the world coming down.

8. Battle Lines

i draw my line in the sand and this is where i intend to stand
and that's my plan. you wanna snatch what's mine? i will
trash you hands. you don't know me like that my fam.
i'm trying to make you understand.
i'm here to win, i'm not trying to make friends.
so lose the smile, there's no need to pretend.

if you're not with us then you're against us.
we can battle down in the trenches
i'll snatch your necklace
i'll eat you punks for breakfast

we had a vision for years with no will to surrender
a flame inside that burns infinite.
look into my eyes again, what do you see?
i'm unconquered and i'm rising to victory.
time will only tell what you dread
..it's our grain you're against
i'm charged by the weight of your words
i will not carry you as i ascend.

if you're not with us then you're against us.
when you doubted me, you doubted yourself
i will not carry you as i ascend.

brace yourself for the fist

if you're not with us then you're against us. don't smile at mee
i don't need anyone, anyone, no one.

9. Door Mats

okay, i'm reloaded and all ya'll bastards is done freeloading.
we took the script, flipped it, cause' we wrote it
and if you ain't notice, i'm so goddamn focused and

dominant, while ya'll cats is dormant.
turn em' into doormats, let my footprints adorn it.
cause' i want it. and ya'll really don't.
i wish you really would, but ya'll really won't.

we be tough like the concrete.
we get right back on our feet.
we get up after we fall.

we keep it gangsta that mostest.
what you know about tours, sleeping on floors
with the rats and roaches?
we been paid our dues, matter of fact we overpaid.
say goodbye, your welcome has overstayed.

10. Punch The Walls

it's like the world is spinning and i'm trying to keep up.
shit, i'm trying to catch up.
and i'm too numb to cry.. or i just forget how.
but why can't you see that i'm crying out now?

i punch the walls until my fists bleed but my life is not changing.
please hear the pain in these words
please hear the anger in me.

it's like my heart is racing and i'm trying to keep up.
shit, i'm trying to catch up.
these walls you can patch up and hide my frustration
but my demons, you can't take them.
why can't you take them from me?
i wish you would open your eyes and see that i

11. In The Heart Of Wolves

there can be no mercy in the heart of wolves
there can be no shelter in the eye of the storm
cast into the flames to burn and to die and burn
but instead i found comfort in it's core

unscathed. i chose the road that's unpaved.
unfazed. i laid in the bed that i made.
through rain or shine or rise or fall i won't fall short
i'll win it all. expect me to be the net that is here to catch your fall.

flame, flicker, flicker, flame
fighting foes you can't contain
adversity made me the fighter i learned to be
i yearn to be so far on top that
through rain or shine or rise or fall i won't fall short
i'll win it all. expect me to be the net that is here to catch your fall.

burn the fuck down.
you will crumble just like the ashes
you will melt within my flame.
