Artist Discography

Blade:
Once again, as I break it down
This is not a phase or a fad, walk with a pen and a pad
Everywhere that I go I see them lookin'
Give your mouth a rest, watch when I'm cookin'
Smokin', never no jokin', hopin'
For the very best, so don't bother provokin'
Me 'cause you don't want me losin' my temper
Remember back in '89 in November
I drank a can of Lucazade and then hit 'em
Call me the lyrical now you know the rhythm
Quick as a flash, make the cash if you can
You be the man, let the woman be the woman
Some say I'm true, honest and humble
Three or four minutes and I'm ready to rumble
Come on, let's go, get up off my case
Stay the hell away from my face, you and your ways
It’s all in the way that you portray it
Hat’s on your mind, you got to say it
Instead of the fuckrie, here’s a little taster
I can’t stand around with the time waster
Tellin’ me garbage, I’m sick of the garbage so
Check out the stylin'

Drugs I never touch, smokes I never touch
To those who bought my records I say thank you very much
I don’t quit no, never never quit no
Take no shit no, hate the techno
‘cause I’m deep into my rap music and
Not like the coke you sniff and abuse it's
Never the secret, I had to keep from them
Beat the drums, play the saxophone and then
Go get it pressed and then put it on vinyl
Go for the final and maybe your time'll
Be here sooner than you think but anyhow
Some of them rush and they claim they're ready now
So if you wanna go on and take the big step
Go ahead, but watch you don't break your neck and heck
Me I'm through with the waitin'
For the other brother to get his act together so I'd rather
Get it goin' on and on all alone
Work the finger to the bone
It's all about who you know, what you know, where you go
Where you're from, that's why you'll never catch me at the proms
Stick to the plan I need a helpin' hand from the bass man
Learn the tricks of the trade and wait years to get paid
I'm not a slave to the trade
Check out the stylin'

We're makin' progress, I'm the hell raiser
Raise my voice and go crazy like Frazer
Strength to strength I got the knack to get 'em back
(Where's the LP) leave me alone jack
Cut the crap and go keep your distance
(1 2 3) take it for instance
I'm just the one who they call the headstrong
(Keep it goin' on, keep it goin' on)
Watch you don't slip, watch you don't slip, watch you don't slip
(And let's take a trip )
Back in the days they used to call me the wild child
I got my style, you got your style
Work a little harder, stop the gangbangin'
(Headbangin') see when I'm hangin'
Down at the station, people are passin' me
You can't buy me, you ain't havin' me
It's elementary, ever so simple
Young, free, gifted, single
That's how it's gonna be for years to come friend
Till you talk sense, here's what I recommend
Look at the facts and the way that he acts and
(Put him on tracks) but don't break your backs and
Dig a little deeper, go on and read your books
(He don't move with the crooks)
Yeah check out the stylin'
