Optimus Rhyme - Reel Estate Lyrics
I see clearly there be nothing but pain up on this pathThere’s blackberry hedges and crapHornets nests, spider webs, and well hidden bear trapsAnd damn dude there’s rattlesnake traces and moose tracksTurn around plants grow so fast; can’t turn backAnd if I can’t turn around and I can’t keep goingAnd I can’t stay put and I can’t get below itAnd I can’t get above it and I can’t knock it downArrgh man open up my mouth and make a sound likeLa-la-la-la-lalalalala la-la-la-la-lalalalala (Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh)Hey, yo, there’s nothing to lose there’s no life after deathBelieve in the here and the now and there’s nothing leftConceive with my mind it’s the power of human breathAchieve the sublime off the album and I confessAs I drop these rhymes with OptimusMy opticals are telling me secrets exposing MC’s weaknessesPeep this I’m making miracles like JesusThe book of Genesis is an outline of what my thesis isI can’t sing, I can’t even rapSo for now I’ll throw some punch lines all over this trackAnd ask, where’s the heat in Seattle underground?Made a pact with Autobeats and we took on the townNow I got a gang of Chinese on the feetTelling me I’m the shit while they bootleg my beatsSaw my first mix tape for sale on the streetNext to a FUBU t-shirt and some broccoli beefSuddenly I’m the one committing crimesLike selling mix tapes that happen to be mineBut that’s fine at least my job is getting doneExpansion of the English language phase one(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worthHey yo I’m grounded more solid than the earth that be under yaI could corner the market on mic cords and these music awardsAnd dope tours but I wouldn’t give one to yaIn fact I heard smoking crack was quite fun to yaYour flows be so dumb it’s like you rappin’ by numbersAnd if you wanna hang among us bot I’ll have something done to yaHere’s a first class ticket on space shuttle ColumbiaUp next it’s your solar plexus over TexasI'll be the broken one as guilty as a smoking gunLyrics weighing a ton starting pandemoniumI used to flow for fun now it’s paying billsStill tripping off theses ill MC’s and purple pillsWill they stop testing me? Hell no because my lyrics beMaking critics drop like leprosyPeep game form the notorious Optimus sceneAbout to make you stage dive into the northwest sceneHey yo I wake up, I eat, I excreteI take up space in the street then go to sleepWhat’s different? I think ya’ll floatin' but it sinkIt’s kind of dirty down hill but I dig in and don’t blinkCause I’m all alone I’m never letting anybody inI’m never going through that kind of torment againForget it consider that just water underneath the bridgeDeal with that, cope with that and we’ll see how you liveI know I never talk to you about my life; its my pride I guessMy best friend has got me stressed it’s a real messI’ve got a complex but maybe it’s just too complexThe reason why English is feeling all these ill effectsMy girl suspects but she don’t know the half of itI’ve already quit on living life, yo, I’m through with itAlways askin' what’s up, why I’m so depressedTry to tell her what’s going on but it’s useless(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth(I’m taking up space on this earth)The population rises there’s no surprises so what’s it worth
