Artist Discography

Blade:
I got you by the balls moderfucka
And again I stepped inside the room and I rocked ya
They used to say that I was just another white man
But now they're simply thinkin' that I'm the right man
For the job, I know you're starvin', cravin'
Here's an mc that you could never catch ravin'
I seen so many come and go, what do you know
Toe to toe, I got them goin' blow for blow
Start the revolution, I got the solution
What we got to do is stop the shit pollution
Pitch control and every mic that I hold
I tear to pieces on the releases
Pre-production....

Put up a middle finger, I'm not a swinger
It ain't a filler but a killer that I bring ya
“Survival of the Hardest Workin” got the mail order started
And to many they regarded
The move as a step in the right direction
Make a collection and I head in your section
You dipstick, on your collar I see the lipstick
You're borin', listen to the lion roarin'
( ) bust it
I'm goin' for the kill and I don't trust it
Pushed to the limit and shit I'm gettin' angry
Speakin' English but they don't understand me
What's the problem we're on a different level
To the rich so I got to raise the level
Hard and even in my home I feel barred
Just like a prisoner, message to the listener got to say thanx to the people that sent money to the P.O. Box
Because that's why I still rocks
Keep the faith, never lose the faith
I always had the faith, never lost the faith you know
Tower blocks, plus I'm hittin' hard like hard knox
You wanna make it good then you best pull up your damn socks
Powerful, never takin' bull 'cause I got the pull
And when I mess I never blame the tool
Pre-production....

Here's the number one rule
You better wise up or get played like a damn fool
Watch your back, watch your back, people take the piss
Mr. DJ, when are you gonna play this ?
I take actions to better the life I'm livin'
Ay yo I never give in
I got the very good will but I'm no Casanova
It ain't over till it's over, move over
I got it goin' on and it's your simple minds I wreck
In '93 I'm comin' live and direct
Bubblebrain, I got the story on my tongue tip
Yo listen up 'cause it's the business that I rip
You wanna know the truth ? Well it's the pressure that I'm droppin'
For the hip hoppin' and there ain't no stoppin'
Build your hopes on a dream
But I be buildin' my dreams on a hope so I'm schemin'
Pre-production.
