4. From Uk To Hip Hop

yo, From Uk To Hip Hop, in One Year, Toppin The Charts,
I Go straight in first gear, cant no one stop me now, im in full swing,
they ask me how, i wanted to know what was the "thing,",of how you and i finished so quickly,
dont try to believe me i dont espect you to, it just makes me feel so sickly, so dont come around with you and your crew,
cause you just to whack, only cause i flew to the top, why did these tracks, have to flop like they did,
now im opening up these lids, like they CDs, DVDs, and the works, the critics had to screw me cause they fought
i was finished , no way, like frankie said i did it my way, yo from uk to the hip world in one year, and a bit,
all emcees fear me now, ganstas lit up there Jibs, listening to my tunes, now i got a crib, with 5 cars, it goes, Benz, Aldy,
Ford And Peuguot, and yo dont forget the foreara, all with gold liecsene plates on,
ha, it hurts to see the one you love with someone else, but it hurts more to see them unhappy with you,
all you do is talk about yourself, i gotta be good to be true, I dont wanna see you waste in time
I just want a place inside your mind, I wish that I could turn the clocks right back, so dont turn this track,
into the love of the breast, so i can put you to the TEST!!!

"From Uk To Hip Hop" IN ONE YEAR x6 <<<<< (Another British Mc)

5. Dont Like The Truth

we all know truth hurts, we all know we get the truth in a lifetime, like i knew this dude named curk, going up to the ladies with a cocky line, one day they turned around and shouted at him, this is just one lady who was fine, from now on he changed
his name to tim, never really talked much just looked at the shrine, of the girl he wish he had, he would cut of a limb for her, i mean damn, who would buy fur for her, who would ever talk to her after what she done, we all know the truth hurts...

The Truth Hurts
So Dont Deny It
The Truth Hurts
So Keep the hell fit
The Truth Hurts
So..So..So What?

sometimes its good to be real to someone, cause if you aint something will backfire, after the
hurtin is gone is time to have some fun, no not fun by having a flat tyre, i aint gonna rabbit on about stuff i never knew happend, so i aint gonna try and do this rap, without turning this song around a bend, come on how many laps, do i need to get the real truth out of you, what do i gotta do to have the flu, see me and my story about curt, is an example in how the truth hurts...

chorus

baby girl why you telling lies, afterall we only gonna laugh over the waterfall, see this verse has been tried, to much stress to take in after a while, come on whos gotta bigger file, than you, just give me one clue, to use against you, like a disease cant stop lying to your husband, cant stop lying in general, damn we dont like the truth

Chorus

Talking: yup, thats the sickness times we living in now G, ugh yeah

6. Who Shot Me?

in a club one night about eight,
suddenly i felt this sharp thing go into my leg,
then i saw police offers ovboisuly late,
then i dont know why someone threw a egg,
at my head and i fell on the floor bleeding an all,
think it could of been fate or bad luck,
is it because i am so tall,
i was loaded on a truck,
it werent a truck it was a abulance,
just sitting there why you sitting there go to the hospital already,
i knew i shouldnst
went in this club tonight,
it was such a fright to lee, Who Shot Me?

Who Shot Me?
In The Club At 8
Who Shot Me?
Gave Me Such A Fright
Who Shot Me?
Lets Get To The Hospital Tonight
Who Shot Me?
Is it because i was too late.
Who Shot Me?
I Wanna Know
Who Shot Me (x2)

i looked up and i saw six people standing over me,
saw my ma my pa my two sis...and the doc
then i asked what happended to me,
they said that you were clocked..,
looked down at my wound and saw a cast over it,
thinking straight away i wanted to know who shot me?,
so i asked they said he had a fit,
he turns out he was in a tall tree,
now look all my gear and kit is ruined
its all ripped at torn,
why cant they let me be,
then i dont know why i saw a thorn
who shot me?

chorus

time to leave the hospital,
two days later and i couldnt wait to get out,
i was such a fool,
for going to that club that night getting a clout,
so i was limping out of the hospital at 2pm,
felt like the middle of the morning though,
stupid traffic i got home at 2am,
a twelve hour journey from Glasglow hospital to london so,
the best part was though i met a girl called sue,
why cant they let me be, who shot me?

chorus

7. Why Did You Hit Her? (no wonder why she left...)

now i am only going to take some of your time
maybe just a few words and a couple of lines,
i just would like to say what is going on today
right under our noses people not going to say
what really happens when people are drunk
what am i really gonna say to all of you punks
Why Did you hit her man no one why she left (x2)

dont get me mistaken all that dont care
cause in this crewl world of despare
i just want to send a message the best way i can
and why do you think women go out and get a tan
to hide the bruises cuts scares and bumps
and yo dont forget all the thumps
but yo sometimes it aint that bad
sometimes it is really terrible and sad
They get with the bare mans fists
and then comes the unfortunate twist (BANG!)
she always says i fell down stairs and keeps tryin
and.then when the women has to come with lying

chorus

now i dont wanna have a fake mistake
sitting down near the nearby lake
then suddenly looked across and geuss what a saw
i saw the worst thing i could ever see a hunny on the floor
all i wanted to do is run over there
and hit that man and show her some care
what do you do when your women is at home
is it because you all live in a little world of your own
keepin it real till there guard is down and bang you rape
dont deny that you do cause i know you do
and then you had to get some real hints from ya man lou
man and you wonder why she left...right out the door
its cause you hit her straight down to the floor...

Chrous

yo i dont believe you said it wasnt you in court,
you hit her down damaged her face and soul
i cant believe you even thought sayin "she fought"
blaming it all on the victiming like a doll
now please dont get me wrong in this song,
i can stand women and men shouting at eachother
i dont really care if i drag this song so long
now you girl is on the front page of a magazine cover
and your still wondering why she walked out the door
its because you swang your arm left then your right
then you knocked her right down on the floor
dont you dare turn to me and say the order was tight
why did you hit her man, why the hell did you do it

chorus and then finish

8. We Need A Smile Ya'll

damn we all need a smile in this long war of ours
now they will start keep with all the feul for cars
Bush And Blair cant tell the soliders what to do
how can you take orders from people dont know to
even load a weapon or a bomb, before you know
its over and bang its over dead, the u.s.a, and so
what for because of this stupid uncalled for war
where millions of innocent peole are going to die
and where we can drop a bomb just like saddam
and we have just noticed he has been chopping peoples
heads off for almost twenty years of this so called dictatorship
we had a good word with germany with this gave them the lip
we had a good time in vientnam for this aswell, not talking about
how do this, so many battles, so many deaths what for, oil
i cant believe this its really pathetic bush, and blair listen here
if you dont believe what im sayin, lock me up and leave me to die
think im kidding i dont care what you think of me anymore, no war
no war, lets do what john wanted us to, imagine all the people in law
i dont like it ugh, we need a damn smile

We Need A Smile A Good Smile

i cant be botherd to stick to rap, lets get out there and tell them to move
yeah we just lost in 91, but was this worth of all the pressure off saddam
then i think two years later, they try and blow up the twin towers with a van
how can you blow up the towers like that?, well that attempted went down the can
then september 11 2002 it all went down the hill for the u.s.a, twin towers was a
sacrifice to start this terriosim war of democracy and tell them whats its like to lay
in peace without being shot in the middle of the street for doing something your not
suppose to, but here in the u.k and u.s.a we are all just finding outselfs in a lot
of stress about what saddam is doing to us, playing his own little mind games
i don't care if this song is just plain damn rubbish and lame
to all of ya'll you know why we need a smile, to help the soliders and innconet men
women and children, to not be killed for what they did not do, i knew a guy named ken
who went to this so called war of ours, hes still there now matter of fact, wanting to leave
more than ever, he wrote to me the other week sayin it just started, how long will this war
have, so without me losing myself in the music of the world,i want to know is what we saw
live on international tv, keeping a smile,

Yeah, Keeping The Smile!
Keep It Now Ya'll

Finish

9. Just Give f/Sasha

There's so much hatred in the world today (oh yes there is)
Our kids are stuck inside
Cause it's not safe for them to go out and play
We got to get past all this
We got to see the real picture
Without love it's all in vain
Living off of hatred
There's nothing to gain
Nobody loses but no one can win
Life is one violent ride
A jumble of sin

Just give us one more chance god
to prove outselfs worthy of the goodness
you gave us everything we ever needed
we replied destroying the world with
voilent acts, not knowing what to do
Just give us one more chance, chance (x2)


theres a bit of freedom here and there
but how do we know when a child will throw a chair
we just want to handle this world with care
we came into this world naked and bare
you showed us the life and knowlege for this technology
that gave us real food, drink and what you say
just give us this, just give us that, i think we should
just give the fact the hat we should of and could of
cared this world of existance cause sasha girl (yea)
im the sun and your the earth, we are the U-n-i-verse
Just Give
There's too much racism in the world today What does it matter if our skin ain't the same? Whether you're black or white; yellow or brown We all bleed red And it's staining the ground We gotta get past skin tones We are all the same Fiber and bones Without love it's all in vain Living off of hatred There's nothing to gain Nobody loses But none of us can win Welcome to life It's all sin and strife So rise children rise (Yeah) Let our voices Be heard through the night We need to shed truth's light Cause if we're going down Let's go down with a fight!

chrous

give me the mic, i dont want to be so blunt
but this song is a waste of our time yo, we aint gonna
change nothing its just two unsigned MC's, trying to make a living
here, i hate of being this unsigned nobody no one wants to know
i hate the way someone walks straight passed me, i hate the way
i walk pass the rapper i battled the otherday, but people dont even
get why we are rapping this song....forget it just get it to the chorus

chorus

10. i love you...i still do

baby girl i have always loved you
and always will for what i have learned

about whats going on between you and me
so girl come on tell me the truth now
you see i cant actually see
what i done wrong for you be such a mood which is foul
because you just left me and come back

then you took me aside and said its a con
my heart went down, the girl sue
was her damn sister, i never saw her again
that is why i am writing this rhyme to all
the fellas not to be so struck in with love
what is love?, something that makes us fall
but yo, it was her job to do that to me
she needs to make a living so do i
but i still love her, and want her and me
to be still together, i cant believe it was a lie
its all over now, theres nothing i can do
i went down for your love and i aint coming back
i love you, and i still do

chorus

i am now finally over you girl
i tottaly forgot how you came into my life
i miss the way you gave me a twirl
with that dress, you cut me in the throat wit a knife
why did ya do that, im only askin
dont get me wrong i just wanna it answerd
now this is going to be my only task
yeah you took a million and trans-fered
it to your account, but mine still got loads in
now you want to reconise me as a friend
i aint even going to commit another sin
because either way you and me, like run and d, down to the end
of the road, i dont care what you took, i love you
and still do

Chorus

11. Once I Was....

a small little boy, wondering what to do with his life
realising what to do, when he slit himself with a knife
now dont get me wrong ladies and gents, i am here
on one single condition, i can hear a good old Cheer (Crowd Cheers)
ah yeah thats it yo, once i was here looking at the good day
staring at the park i used to play
i wonder what happended to this place,
it was like all the swings, slide, climbing frame didnt have a trace
now it was just a field with a cow, and a couple of sheep
now i just feel like going to a cliff and taking a big leap
everything has changed in where i used to live

Once I Was....(Only A Little Boy)
Once I Was....(All i wanted to do)
Once I Was....(Play With My Toy)
Once I Was (x2)


first day of secondary school
i was being such a fool
acting really cool and funny
then a bigger kid with a white bunny
i saw him and made some jokes
then he grabbed me and decided to choke
from then on, i decided not to be cool
especailly when i am inside secondary school
i was beaten up every tuesday after Pe
now i wonder to you all why you see
people in some nieghbourhoods that they get killed
i tried to arrange a deal with the bully, i thought it was sealed
a man handshake dont mean nothing to me any more
isnt there some sort of law, then again we all started a war
cause all of you should know that once i was
a small little boy, i iz soz
for what i did to you bully, then again you cant touch me now

chrous

if i had a kid ill teach him to fight
and teach him to fight without a sight
dont get me wrong i do want to get these bullies back
used to say i was just to stupid and just to whack
to even battling them after school, when i say
fight i mean freestyle, yes i used to do that, and lay
my oppenents down with one punch line
now damn you bullies now want a sign
this is a damn sign, know why i say these things
to teach you dumbasses to kiss my arse and become some strings
for future reference, so if you ever near my town, look me up
so we can sit and chat, and so i can beat your arse again so whatsup
cause yes i was once this little kid with loads of dreams, even it seems
now i realise, it was just a theme, once i was, once i was

15. Tell Me (Demo For Save The Children)

Spoken: Tell Me Something Why Are We Standing Here Not Doing A Thing To Help
All The Children In Africa, Check This Out, Deep ****

You know how we help alot
Do you know how to stand up and rock the cot
tell me something about this infected child
sell her self to all these men who just smile
i think this is not a clever rhyme
Fly is what we should do, waste no time
look around and do you know what you see a man who
took something from this child, not enough money to sue
dude got away from it all
fude will always make me fall
think im crazy, i dont think i am
sink in the love in the hearts of a girl called sam
corny rhyme is better than a child who stares in a
porny film, being used for this company just to say
we can now afford nice food and clean crops
see you dont have to take of that top

Times may be tough
Rhymes may be rough
Sit Down and ill tell you something
It was a gloroius time to sing (x2)

reason for another verse
treason if i curse
all i want is all have equal money
stall and then think its funny
it aint funny no mo'
sit down cause it feels sore
feet from walking six miles
seat is that i offer no mo' trials
god please dont make these young girls

16. Life Struggles f/ dissulisioned and sweetnsoflyy

The thunder cloud claps dramatically overhead,
My hopes and wishes have been thrown away, and are now stone dead,
My mind is cluttered with hopelessness and increasing doubt,
From all of this pain, I'm looking for the easiest way out,
I'm running as I search, my feet silently drum the ground,
As I look in vain for a way of escape, but that way has not yet been found,
A disillusioned life full of struggles sometimes takes even more drastic turns
As I painfully fall onto my hands and knees, covered with blood & surface burns,
Possessing the desire and endurance to succeed & become SOMEONE
My heart's tears reflect upon life's unfairness, leaving my spirit weak & numb .

I must stand strong again, shackeling on with my journey to be free
Of unimaginably carrying scarred burdons of life's harshest miseries...
My path is one of the toughest, but I faithfully step forward, if only one inch at a time,
Knowing that someday, the highest level of success is destined to be mine,
To do that though, I must get back on track, out of this misery and pain,
But as the blanket of darkness covers me, the thought goes, and I'm blank again.

I feel all of the things that you are trying to say,
Now let me get a feel of these words today,
All the pressure and the tension in the world is crazy,
And what do we all do about it?! Nothing, we're all lazy,
So come on and just stand and shout,
That we have no sense of doubt,
Come on y'all there must be an easy way out (x2)

17. Its Me

ya'll dont even think to try and feel my rage
cause this rage has been locked up in a cage
and its angering to go out so i will swing on anyone
so you better watch the back of your friends head son
cause i will take it off if you tempt me when my tank is filled
so if you wanna take the piss out of me, make sure im chilled
cause even though i talk with my mouth dont mean nothing
even if i rap as fast as a talk it dont matter cause im talking anyway
so you better what the hell you do to me and my friends you will lay
under the porch of your mum and dads house dead drunk
wanna try me go ahead and ill beat you senesless punk
ill take a cheap shot when your knock looking
you see me im like ali left right and always hooking
so dont be feared if i try and hit you for no reason
i should be locked up for treason
all the peoples trust a disobeyed i can now see
dont be threatend when its just me

this album will propperly never be released and listened to
but when i say i say it real and it will be true
i aint the rapper to make words just rhyme
and then ill get the verbs at the same time
and spill it out at any of you rappers trying to disbelieve me
can you now see its just me and my friends rolling in a car
but you think dont worry we can get away its really far
then ill put the car in sixth gear
and then get there in an second and not a year
you try running put you just hit the deck for cover
and then you go home running to your mother
not trying to be really mean to you all
but mess with me and you will fall
and then if you have the balls to pick up the phone and call
ill respect you and then try and kick you from the back
you trying to be me, but you just whack
its me when you can see me on tv for free, dont believe me
ugh yeah yeah J-o-e

i was in the tenth year
everyone thought not a point to be in fear
but when i tried my hardest to be cool
it just back fired in my face like a misused tool
so if you saw me in that school getting bullied much
its nothing usual didnt mind but if they had the balls to touch
ill swing as hard as i could and i wouldnt care who i hit
and then if you talk about me you better shut up and sit
but that was in my dreams then but not now
see i thought some stuff up which was nasty and foul
thinking im rapping about bees and butterflies all the time your wrong
i only say that so i can get credited enough song
so because its just me
dont be feared so much just let me be
its just me

yeah yeah its just me
J-o-e, like that its over

18. Dont Be Sad

Dont Be Sad
Of What We Had
Me Being Without You
I Knew I Lied, It Was Never True (X2)

im sorry for all the wrongs i did
cause we fell in love when we were kids
its my fault that i lied to you
mislaid your truth and that was just blue
i knew i shoulda dont you better not wrong
thats why i am writing this song
since you aint answering my phone calls
im sorry for all my cowardness i had no balls
but now i do imma man i can stand on my feet
but if you dont like what im saying say take a seat
dont get me folled i aint no pussy now am i
all i want is you and i no more bye bye
writing this rhyme for all the joy we had
so please dont be sad

chrous

it was my fault, my tears,
but the sad thing was that them years,
we spent together and didnt know eachother,
cause girl there cant be a bird without a feather,
a soilder without a gun and garden without a flower
cause now our love for eachother has gone its now sour
no more sweet involed this time
thats why girl take this as a sign
since i cant even think about the words i feeled
so girl thats why i think this case should be sealed
unexplaintary verbs coming out of my lips,
that hennesy should take some sips
let the truth come out
instead of all the lying and doubt
so dont be mad at me for all the good times we had
dont be sad

chrous

when i wake up in the morning at look at me late clock
i then look at the day ahead and think of my lock
on my mind, cause all i wanted to be with you is kind
now my minds lost i need to find
something to fix to brain
all i wanted was to be sain
but sorry girl i gotta get on that bus
since there are no more us
thinking i should stand up and run to you
but i know ill be a hypocrite i wont be true
all i want to be is with out but its over
see i aint that many beefs with some dawgs
but sorry girl i cant see you, your in the fawg
thats why i should say dont be sad
in all the times we had
i dedicate to a rhyme
the best of times.

20. Mate? Nah (Bonus Track)

yo yo, pitty, its such a pitty that you think i smell
well now geuss what i gots a mother****ing story to tell
since you dont even know me dont start on me
thinking you all that cause you got air forces ones now you flee
when i tell this rhyme to you
cause now you got the blue
you all depressed when i only tell the truth when i have to
well p-i-t-t-y, i have to bury you underground, yes i do
because that **** you call mcing is just a ****ing sound
screaming into the mic like a ****ing bird with a sword
look owww your hurting everyone you sang to the wrong cord
cause ive had it in my soul for three years
wanna try me try these tears
you dont know any **** ive been through the spirit
has gone with in its now a ****ng sin
cause when i rhyme, you aint got no time,
now for you its a ****ing sign, trying to beat me
mother****ing you dont know my name
cause everything you say is the same
and everything you say is bull**** or lame
cause you trying to beat someone not even on your level
look your trying to dodge, left right and then you swevel
yes so what you can be a Mc And a DJ,
still you go run to your mommy when i come out to play
see i can beat the **** out of you but i will not
cause i will never snoop to your level rock the mother****ing cot
see i can do much more
but then ill probably get fed up and knock you to the floor
oh my god how gay
you have to bend down and pray
see im not even my hardest to beat you and i am
and i know you always battle with sam
cause all i know is that your girlfriend is in contreseption
its all about me my frustration

*Sung*
Its all getting it over your chest
so this song can be put to rest
its all about the people you hate
not the ones you call a mate(X2)

dont make me go on to you and your friends
cause appriently you and girlfriend are down to the end
then why did she say she wanted to leave you
whats that you dont have a clue
cause you dumb man take the signs
i dont think you should make me do another rhyme
but i wanted to take you down
and dont give me that smile then a frown
i see you around school
man you think im just a fool
not too take any **** you throw at me
cause you now can see
imma not even give you my name
cause you gonna do the same
same old same old, its just lame
think imma be a rapper **** the fame
cause really its just one long ****ing game
fair enough you like your kind of music
but then i do to, its the type to make me lose it
i bought your cd for 2 pound
and now you think you so heavy underground
forget this man skip to the chrous
its just a ****ing frustration
i need to keep my concentration

J-o-e - what ive been through

1. What Ive Been Through

what ive been through is something tragic
i wish there was a way to get through some sort of magic
maybe the black magic is it the way i speak
all you fans wanna be by my side and freak
you know you dont know me that well
cause you know me when im high i fell
and then went my life into depression
my dawgs said get some of it of your chest and go to confession
i went nah im cool
i should of done better in school
instead of all the pressure on me
theres a locked door inside me and i need a key
dont understand when i say these words
well maybe if i rap these verbs

you dont know what ive been through
so back off
you dont know what ive been through
may be alot but it was sad,
damn my heart is so bad

all the women that said im a asswhole
well am i really when i kept you warm near the coal
anyway them times are over now and gone
cause bassicly me trying to love you i think was a con
call me a idiot if you must
ive commit one of the sins lust
tell good and my boys to forgive what i have done wrong
thats why when i touch this pen i have a song
already in my heart
dont believe me when we have a fight and i call you a tart
cause really you know hopefully im just kiddin
and im tellin the truth, not fididn
cause "All Eyes on me"
can you now see
i have some stuff on my chest
and i need it to come on so i can rest
so....

chorus

im not rich, im not poor
but give me money ill ask for more
see maybe im not a good flirt
but i complent when i say "nice skirt"
cause really talking to you i need spirit
and i need the self confidence so if you got that ill have it
ive had some dawgs talking dirty about me
but i dont give damn cause i got the key
now i understand what you all say
saying i do stuff im not supposed to, get out my way
before you feel the rath of these lines
dont believe buy my other rhymes
pressure and predicatment got ahold of me
i can now see
why no one can be friends
im not down with anybody till the end

chorus

2. Dont Make Me

Jump, Jump, Jump
You Know It,
Jump, Jump, Jump
You Know you Fine
dont make me write a rhyme

every friday night we go out
saying do i look alright, no doubt
i dont care what you wear
cause come in my arms and you will be in care
promblem is i cant have you
now i have the blue
but we still good friends i hope
this love, how will i cope
not my fault that you like my best friend,
ive told him to ask him out down to the end
hopefully you get what you want, yeah i know
thats why ive takin my time to give you a flow
off the the one and only joe
well theres also fat joe, but you know it
if you dont sit

chorus

you know you fine,
so why you giving me a line

ill give you medicine when you got the blue
ill be here to wipe those tears
ill be here for years
if you need some help ill be here
when your in fear
ill be here to ease your thoughts, nice and good
cause when i rap and you hear other rap its all about the hood
i didnt come from the hood does that mean
i cannot be a rapper but i am so keen
i can write all day and not have a promblem with it
ill be here when your legs cant go on and you want to sit
ill be there and here whenever and wherever you need me
now you saying is your relationship real
well babygirl tell me how you feel
she said shes empty inside
thats no reason to hide...

chrous

your boyfriend is my best friend
so what can this mean between us to down to the end
or shall we call eachother when were around the bend
drop in for the occasinal hello
thats why i want to flow
saying i want to be more than friends i want to
be your best friend, dont bother giving me the blues
cause i dont like that,
you wont go wit me cause im fat
and because of my looks
but the thing is i can cook
ill cook you i nice romantical dinner
dont test me girl imma sinner
when your listening to this music
i hope you will just lose it
and come close to me
but i dont see that coming, i need a key
or maybe i need to pay a fee,

*Outro Speaken Over Chrous*
I think i love you
so come be with me
i wont bite, honest....

3. Where Are Ya Hands

in the club every friday night
somethings wrong here, ive lost my sight
i cant see the crowd's hands....
maybe its because of them damn pop bands...
we need some dance music or some hip hop
not all that crap that 11 year olds listen to, pop
so thats why with that music i gotta concussion
thats why when im talking to these radio stations with a discussion
some agenda on my mind, too much pop not rap
thats why damn pop singers think they call with there cap
well geuss what since you aint impressin people in the club
i gotta go to that damn pub
Cause the music i lands
i wanna be knowing where ya hands

(I Wanna Know Where R Ya Hands)
The Music Lands
(I Wanna Know Where R Ya Hands)

ugh verse 2
imma skip this friday since i got the blues
this week on saturday
imma run the music i want to, i say
take that music off, anything else i dont care
cause ill rather streak in the naked and bare
while im running around screaming it dont really matter
thats why im writing this rhyme to change to the better
see why are all of you so sad
as i touch my pen on the pad
i wanna see those hands up in the air
and wave them them like you dont care
cause i dont do you
if you do, you shouldnt
cause no one else wouldnt
see in this perdictiment i couldnt

chorus

dont worry about your man sam
but i dont mind cause this is only one night
so dont open your mouth wide like im a fright

all i wanna see is them goddamn hands up in the air

chorus

Outro: J-o-e
2003, Im Out,

4. Momma You Was Right

you was right im sorry i was wrong
thats why im dedicating this song
to the only women i love at the moment
see i forget to get you a gift on mothersday
and your birthday, but you still didnt care
you was the only one to see me butt naked and bare
you said i wasnt going the right way at school
i was such a fool
not listening to, i took the highway
kept saying to my friends get out of my way
see in school i was kinda pissed off
and now all i do is just cough
attention seekin, im sorry momma
you was right
i just of lost my sight

Momma You Was Right
Hard For Me To Say
But Momma You Was Right
You Gave Me Somewhere To Lay

when i was ill you made me better
thats why im sorry for reading your letters
cause Momma you know you was right
i wish i just knew it, but i learnt it the hard way
im sorry for saying so much stuff gave me a place to play
food on the table, clothes on my back
i dont care if anyone says this song is whack
all the matters is that you forgive me
but now i can see
see i had a go at you for no reason atall
but then cause i learnt the hard way i was aiming to fall
see i can write a rhyme,
but now i can see all the signs
this is hard for me to say but its true
sometimes i got some clues and got the blues
for no reason at all, didnt matter to me i slept
and all them drinks you bought i kept
and then drank them all and you didnt know
thats why this rhyme is made to flow

chorus

done so many wrongs it can never be right
i remember the first day you taught me to fly a kite
but by that time i was already thinkin
and then i had to, no decison but started drinkin
at school i had to do a presentation
refused to do it, got sent out of class and suspended
you said it was ok, but dont do it again
i can believe you said that i done it again
my fault im apolygze for all the things i done wrong
but all these words i spit are never to long
see momma i broke that latch
and still you always gave me the match
we were never to poor, i had a good life
but i still think my life sucks but then i strife
please forgive me
im your son, J-o-e

chorus

5. Remember Me? Thought Not

i wasnt popular at school
i was one of those kids who wasnt cool
but i knew some kinda cool dudes
and when i was freestylin i had fudes
there way over and i lost
but i paid the price, and trust me it cost
so thats why do you remember me
didnt know me, but now you can see
that you know my name
cause when i was rhyming i was lame
never good at all a matter of fact
but i came out with some good lines when i got sacked
first real dissapointment of my life
Remember me? Thought Not

Do You Remember Me
The One You Chilled Wit
Do You Remember Me
Now its my turn to rhyme, so sit(x2)

dont get me wrong
i write some crap songs
its not my fault if im so far
all im rhymin for is a car
so if i beat you and insult you dont be offended
cause after all your the one that lended
me this pen,
so if i beat you back then
not my fault if i got skill and you aint
cause now at least you aint rhymin like a saint
see i dont think im the best
but i know im better than the rest
so if you spittin lyrics loud in my ear
sorry im not payin attention i didnt hear
do you remember me now

chorus

Bridge:
Can You See
Remember Me
Remember This Face
Remember This Place.
Remember Where I Go
Remember My Name Joe(x2)

Chorus

6. Need A Girlfriend

i got some money and some pills
i got some groupie girls who give me thrills
but they aint good enough to satisfy me
jesus christ i gotta get a girlfriend probably
sorry if i rap this like a sudden tone
cause when the beat starts and im holding the microphone
im down to work, and i spill out verbs
and im not sure if they are even words
i got my eye on this chick for a while,
tried to impress her so i went to freestyle,
all i want is a girlfriend to chill
not a girlfriend who does some pill
or sniffs up drugs all up in her nose
cause really, you know
Every guy needs a Girlfriend
Every girl needs a Boyfriend
So Sing....

You Need A Boyfriend
I Need A Girlfriend
So Lets Get Together
Me And You Forever(x2)

when i finish doin the rhyme
she said sorry i aint got the time
and she went off with her mate
im sorry, that you too late
fine you dont like me tell me
and now i can see
theres no point me going after you
so ill move away from you but it can be a foul
so ill go after this other girl
and maybe she can give me some twirls
sorry i cant do that anymore
cause if i do your boyfriend will hit me to the floor
so went up to this other girl and said
so lets get together
me and you can be forever

chorus

excuse me miss
dont walk away from this
you dont know what you missing
and by the end of the night you know what you be kissing
the one and only guy for you
cause you the one and only girl for me
fine walk dont give a damn about me
cause from the talk we just had
it makes me angry and sad
that we had was good, nah it was just bad
im sorry if i ever done something wrong to you
but now you just gave me the blues
and you done this for no reason, i have no clues
wait a minute what you smokin,
aiight thats cool you was just jokin

chorus

7. Dreamin' Bout You

Im Just Dreamin Bout You
Thats All i Wanna Do
Im Just Dreamin Bout You
All I Wanna Do, Dreamin Bout You(x2)

everynight i cant sleep
i decide i stay up and just wheep
see i asked you to be my girlfriend and you said no
and then you speak to me as a friend, so?
so you broke my heart and you dont care
i feel like i am just like naked and bare...
and me lovin you, is defitienly is real
but i cant tell you how i really feel
the best thing i can do is dreamin bout you
i stare out the window and realize i got the blues
i dont even want to go outside
all i wanna do is cry and hide
im not afraid to admit my thoughts to anyone
thats why im writing this song to you son
Dreamin Bout You

chorus

sometimes i cry when i think
my throats dry after i drink
see when im with u i have no idea
thats why when i look at you im in fear
trying to keep my cool
i shouldnt never fell for you in school
i know its so wrong
to have for love for someone and declaring it in this song
see i think im known for sadness and depression
thats why when you say where ya been i say confession
i dont know why i got some anger locked in
maybe its all the stuff i done, one of the sin
was something wrong i aint mention it
cause ya'll wanna probably do it yourself i lit
my fire up for you so please if you know who you are
sing this song, it dont matter how close or far

chorus

you can say whatever i dream
cause all i know is imma be pointed on with a beam
anything i do wrong people used to spot out
thats why i speak i speak with a doubt,
caustoius in what im saying
yes and cautious in what im spraying
into your direction when you try and out rap me
man go hop and go cry and put on ya lil cap on
cause im so quick your eyes cant touch what your eyes cant see
thats why they call me J-o-e
cause when im dreamin i wanna flow
take this song to the chrous, yo yo
no not yet, wait a minute and listen to the beat
when i say wait, you as a bait so please take a seat
*Pause*
haha, now you can go to the chrous

8. We Were Kings

since weve all gone into this game
everyone has no got the same name
and with the same name we all know its lame
thats why im saying that we were kings
and didnt normally going around boasting bout our things
and keep going on about out ice and rings
we were kings to the kids of high school
and now thanks to us there are probably alot of fools
thats why your pen is a sword, and mic is a tool
thats why you should really learn to fall
and then when you learn that, get ready to call
me out my my name, it dont matter small or tall
cause you know my name its j-o-e,
and when ya hear it you better flee,
and if you dont remember to the pay the fee

We were once kings everybody so listen up
it dont matter if you see me in the street
it dont matter if you see me in a car
cause either way, your too far
to even try and touch me, We Were Kings

once youve learned what you just said
get ready to get knocked out and sleep in ya bed,
once ive finished with you, you better wish you was dead
cause the lyrics i bring
is nothing compared to my things
and dont forget my ice with my rings
look you called out my name
and look you falled, cause it was so lame
everysingle diss and hit is the same
so dont bother trying to beat me at this game
you might be able to beat me at the fame
but if you didnt noticed that didnt matter to me
cause hell my name is j-o-e
you better pay the fee,
and if you dont you better flee,
and look my thoughts were locked, now i found the key

chrous

the song is deep stuck in your thoughts
like your slave and when he was bought
your sick cant do housework yaself
look you cant go to the toilet by yaself
look i love rapping underground
and then i was finally found
and then i had a talent for this so called sound
cause i need this medication
to keep me meditating
cause if i pray
when i lay
its time to go away
if you dont want me to rap like this
well get a girl and tell her to give me a kiss
look i have to go home
cause really im all alone
i have no friends
its all down to the end...
this is the last verse, so keep it in ya head
like i said,
you better off half dead, so you cant speak
hold on a minute, go to the chorus

chorus

Finish

9. Sorry

sorry for all the things ive done
Im Sorry
sorry for all the times i made you cry
Im Sorry

Im Sorry
im sorry for all the times makin you think "Why"

yo yo, im sorry for all the things ive done
but now girl i promise to have fun
have whatever you want just tell me
cause i really have to pay the fee
for all of them late nights at home
makin you feel sad and alone
but you still found a way to love me more
thats why i will never give u up heart so sore
why is it my turn to tell how i feel
and my thoughts are thinkin is this real?
i think really its time for me to shine
cause when i first spoke you said "Nice line"
i could never forget how you acted
and fo sho i could never forget that
im sorry

chorus

i can write you a love song
i can make you feel so wrong
i can make you try and forget me
but then you gonna feel guilty so dont pay the fee
ive done enough to hurt you
cause whatever i went through
you did to
whatever i done wrong hurt you worrying
everynight where i am
girl dont be silly, i aint wit my ex sam
and you believed me when i said i love you
im so sorry for makin you have the blue
still found a way to kiss me
you still found a way to hug me
thats why with this song i dedicate
im sorry for bein so late....

chorus

now lemmie take a minute to blow ya mind
with all my genoursity and bein so kind
cause really without you im in depression
so listen close this will be my only confession
it dont matter where or when you hear this
cause yes girl i still remember our first kiss
let us take a minute to start from the begginging forget the past
cause im with you after long last
from now wherever i go you will
you and me will always have a thrill
candle still burns for me what about you
cause whatever you do, i can do
i cant be superman
all i do is what i can
im sorry for all the things ive done, yeah ugh ugh

10. Its Only A CD f/ andy

Dont Fight Over A CD
Cause Its Only A CD
You can always hear it on TV
or try and download it on mp3

thats the promblem at the moment with all the pressure
when a small drugged up teen girl comes by and you say "bless her"
its not her fault that her mum and dad were druggies
and thats why its not her fault that she into all the thuggies
with the 10 inch knifes
and with about there so called 4 wifes
tell me this how can a drug addict have 4 women on the go
cause jesus christ they can hardly talk than flow
All she wants is to be conforted like she dont know how to
thats why this is my rhyme and she can do
whatever she wants to, it dont matter if her boyfriend
is down to these drugs and wont leave them untill the end
Then she has the courage to fight over a CD
Jesus christ your only listenin to what you watch on TV
thats why i need to stop the confrontation
and also the explotation
and start beefin with these damn fools
who said dont go to school its not cool
damn thats how you got her in bed
see only if she used her head
and something that she could of said might of done something
going around with her do and her new clothes like its the thing
cause all her old friends dont like her
they dont like her or her fur
what 0shes wearin over her back
and the stuff that shes doin is just whack

chorus

when i rap i wanna know where my location
and so stop comin around like ya'll want an explanation
cause when i have breakfast
all i want it in peace its just restless
watchin these damn critizs and these fools
on them damn cell phones makin them calls
i dont know what you want from me
cause jesus christ im only J-o-e
talkin about me its time for someone else to come in
thats right ya'll its J-o-e and the V.....haha......
Yo yo yo, it's just a CD,
no real life involved in this hizzy,
it's just j-o-e gettin' busy, gettin jiggy makin' a rhyme,
a rhyme in time,
so don't take it to seriously cos it just a CD,
a piece of plastic that cost 50p,
so don't mess your head up wit' tha' lyrics you read,
cos at the end of it all it just a CD,
take it or leave it you don't have to take things seriously,
cos what happens when you fall in front of a train or jump out of a plane?
take an uzi and do a "mcbain" and when they ask why you blame j-o-e....?
Like my homie slim, it's not their fault they do their riddims for their own goals...
y'all need to understand it just a CD it's just a CD

Chorus

11. Yo...Thats It

12.Freestlye 2 f/ sweetnsoflyy and disullisioned

I sit here impatiently as the days grow longer,
I'm striving for a way out, but my intolerance only grows stronger,
As I consider my thought's,
previous experiences come back to me, hurting deeply,
So now, day after day, I become furtherly scarred,
thinking things through weekly,
I try to understand, but I just keep failing,
As I think things through, the seeds that I sowed only leave my body and mind uncontrollably flailing...

Aye yo, my mind constantly battles the fears of rejection,
Maybe it's the lonely child embedded deep within my soul's faint reflection,
From this I find myself continually running fast,
just to increase the distance,
Between my pain & desires,
as rejection overflows my cup with it's state of constance,
I privately sit, shed a million tears in the face of God,
yet faithfully sow my precious $1 seed,
Surrounded by visions of growth in a garden that possess not a single negative weed,
Peering over the shadows beyond my shoulder,
I possess an undying urge to manifest & procreate,
A life of new and wonderful patterns,
avoiding the hardest roads I've had to tolerate,
My heart overloaded, full of unhealthy infestations,
as I bear witness to the poisons of snakes,
hungrily walking on the hottest gravel,
That seemingly only my two bare feet,
in this life have painfully ever had to travel...

As I try and think,
all the words of my pen touching this paper doesn't mean a thing to me,
So what do you about me
as I just write for my albums,
I write better when I you cant see,
So as you sit down and wait for me to blow up in all of y'all faces,
You can't even try and find me,
I'm always in different places,
I can't sit still thinking of all the drama and the resources of this planet of ours,
So why if there is one of you,
you gotta have so many cars,
So after day and day of watching,
these hypocrites and wannabes saying what we do is disrespectful,
You better learn to shut up when we are all rapping in this way that you will be respectful...

13. You Know It

yo yo, You know it what im about to say
cause i got the best Dj Since Kay Slay
and Jam Master J, They Were The Days
cause if you know it, you be going to the cementary
good die young not going to the state penitary
i dont know much of ya'll sayin this
but sayin all these young brothers goin each year takes the piss
cause even if i dont show it
you know it
that im the man behind this m-i-c,
and its time for me to leave the country
so with a goodbye i cry with the deepest of thoughts
why did you do that crime and why did you have to get caught
cause when im on the mic, do i have to battle to have faught
beating all you other mcs,
im sorry let me see
so young brothers Dont have a fit
just because i know it

sayin goodbye to ya mamas
and dont bother havin some drama
im a man now mum im apologyze
please dont i can make myself eat no fries,
cause my boy now is a convict
and he was actually tricked
maybe he deserved what he got
but for all that time for doin pot
cause ive never stood behind a judge
but still i hold a grudge
and them all for makin this goverment in charge
and for your boys snitchin on ya he a serge
but hey as pac once said "life goes on"
and thats what im tryin to explain in this song
make believe is what i thought it was
he went to jail, get over it because
he didnt get what he wanted to have he a slave
and now he hiddin out in afganistan in the caves
listen here as i spill these words out from my mouth
cause moma's dont have a fit
lifes goes on, and you know it

you know im not a legend spillin these rhymes
you know im not famous to gettin into crimes
ive never sold dope
and never had the pressure so how could i cope
but as i drink this liquor
i think the drink is gettin to my head quicker
every day so imma do something stupid its shakin
and im sorry god for all the money im makin
how can you afford to have mats?
when people cant even offord hats
listen here now i got a little story to tell
its when i was at home and i used to yell
at anyone in my fami-ly
and now im ashamed to say my name is j-o-e
because its a shame
and my music aint great its a shame
ive never got a record deal since now
and then the liquor i drink is gettin foul
day after day,
you think of the same things to say
so sis dont have a fit
cause life goes on and you know it....


14. Love For The Cities

I Got Love For The Cities
From NYC To LA
Its Time For Me To Play
All These Girls Here Are Prettie
Ones....(x2)

i will be tourin this coun-try,
and then i will pay the fee
to do so when im on the mic
payin my way through college, sike
i aint goin back to school
cause either way im still a fool
cant hold a job,
i still i decide not to sob
cause the music im makin
is makin my hands shakin
so i go and take a break
and sit down next to the lake
have some bread to feed to
and thank everyone to you
i miss you and thats the truth
cause we should be tourin with the youth
maybe i should go and delete
all my past memories, nah take a seat
im sorry for havin a lock
against you for this long, i need money in my sock
ugh you can see me in london

chorus

i wish i could swim the fish
not a care in the world when we part-y
and all these girls lookin tart-y
cause really im goin on vacation
but its stressfull so i need medication
but i dont really want to be alone
i need a girl to be in my zone
and maybe can clap when im on the microphone
i need a break from my rap
its time to put my cap back
cause all the stuff im spittin is whack
see i can be a negative person, positive
but all im tryin to do is live
i dont care how or what i do
i just hope before the show i dont want the flu
so dont cough all over me
jesus christ what happended to me
cause imma scream to my vocals run out
imma run till my breath runs out
ugh, see me in LA

chorus

think you can find me in philly
dont be silly
cause what im doin at the moment
is like your hair, you need to come it
when i get sucked in tryin to think
i look at my liquour and then just drink
my mind is firing a blank
but im a hard as a tank
so when i do my show
its really my responsibility to let you know
the songs arnt really happy anymore
its time for me to hit the floor
see half a bottle a vodka still in my head
i really cant remember what you just said
luckly i know what im sayin
but i wont remember in the mornin what im sprayin
its time for me to get to buissness
and now imma flee, need a witness?
to find me in Cali,
Cant i be free?

chorus

15. I Werent

Yo, im sorry if i werent real
so imma spill this rap to deal
with the situation that im incause if i werent like this
that im sorry god for commit a sin
the sin was envy, im jealus of my mate
the reason is, i wanted to be happend but he was late
and he said i was with this girl
man i hate you, but i love you for bein so real
cause you know i have to be real
but i cant and i dont know why
another girl left me, i aint gonna cry

then maybe girl give me a kiss
fine all you care is the looks
wanna know love, look at the books
cause see im a poet
but see i flow it

If I Werent Like This
Would You give me a Kiss
*Something Sung* (X2)

second time i rap ya'll got a treat
so bang your heads to this beat
if you dont like the song i sing, take a seat
ya'll dont believe me when i say i gotta go
like you dont believe me when i flow,
like hell you think that my name aint joe
but you can call me j-o-e, who you can see
on tv, haha sike, girl if i werent like this
could i count on you to give me a kiss
cause i will change for you..
cause i have no clue
in what i done wrong to make you feel
is it because im not really that real
as i say i am, as i want to be
take this song to the chorus, im sorry
and thats all i can say...
so girl whatsup wanna play?

chorus

yo you know its number three
and the door is locked so get a key
and join the party of the long night
and by the end of the liqour you wont have a sight
in what your doing to someone you hate
and it all kicked off just because hes late
i dont want to be this way lemmie change
wait a minute i need money, i only got change
see i wont give you the best life,
cause you will probably want to cut yaself with a knife
but baby i will love you, wait i already do
and still you have no clue
so what can i do to stop me feeling this way
so all i want to do now is just lay
and think about you, and drink
and my love for you is fallin, im sinking....

chorus

16. Single Again

i am such a fool
going down the hell thinkin im cool
then it hit my like a hammer on a nail
thinkin i gotta go away needin to sail
something was up with my mind
i was for once not actually kind
to girls and boys trying to come up to me
cause this time last year i werent J-o-e
thought i actually had it all
i didnt realize i didnt till i had to fall
then single again aint a bad thing
it makes me go to a club and watchin girls sing
now im a single again im lovin it
and u think im losin it, havin a fit
who you think i am a rapper who has doubts
if you think that, and i know you better get out
cause ive been through stuff in my life
that all i wanted to think about is me and the knife
but im not sucidal, but gimmie a call
you know girls, im back and single again

Come gimmie a call
single again, i aint gonna fall
like i did last time(x2)

matter of a fact,
brother no offence you cant act
watchin all ya films like im a fan
but watchin em had to make me ran..
dont get me mistaken im keepin it real
and make sure when i rap you gonna feel
the words that i say, the verbs i spray
take no offence when i say get out my way
its the way i am it aint my fault
cause you want to know what makes me rap like this
is when i was first denied a kiss
damn i was so upset, but over what
matter of a fact, let me keep rapping,
keep ya day job girls im comin to you
and you aint gotta a clue
untill i roll up in ya club,
after ive had a few in the pub
and come home not drunk,
im the loving type, not the fighter
see im a poet as an writer
i gotta think the way when i saw
im single again

chorus

im single again dont mean a thing
cause i aint goin around with my bling
cause that aint me know what i mean
only reason i rap is cause im keen
and your keen to listen to me
i aint a nasty man, im j-o-e
i love and hate being single and the same time
and then i try and express it when this rhyme
invite a girl upstairs but she declines
thats cool i dont mind me anymore
cause really i aint gonna get you on the floor
im a nice person really, dont believe me fine
then ill just take it as a rather nasty sign
only a few poets can beat me lyrically,
i got a list, wait a minute its on my wrist,
it goes eminem, 2pac, biggie and nas,
thinkin im a fall off to these big names
nah cause i know they aint the same
they have thier own style of rappin just like me
ugh yo yo, gimmie a key
so i can go in this room with you
i aint got no clue when i say
Single Again....

and still said if you want come, and gave me a key
im missin dem words you say
goddammit i miss you, and with this song you lay

chorus

second time i send this to your grave
givin me them apple cakes, that i still crave
i miss you so much
i used to hate my face which you had to touch
squeezing my cheek when i was young
thats why this song i had to sung
i wish i could see that smile
i really miss you, cause i aint seen u in a while
its the anniversery of your death in november
imma miss the money you send to me in december
i know my dad misses you, he never speaks of you
but i know and you know that he thinks of you alot
my ma said you smiled when i was in my cot
damn, so many times ive missed them words
tellin me....that...

chorus

why grandma do you have to be so far
i know i can see your grave somewhere
i know that if you shouted at me, you care
you laughed at my jokes
you nursed me when i always choked
i miss you so much why did you have to leave
i cried at ya funeral, wiped the tearson my sleve
see my lyrics wont mean nothin if it wasnt for the beat
i now sing for you in this song
that im sorry for all the time i had done something wrong
ya husband, my granddaddy is doing great
and he still gets up early, never late....
love you so much
i wish that face i could touch

chorus

finish

18. Frustration

Get the feelin deep down inside
that you wanna get up and dont hide
you just wanna swing and hit something
and then tell someone nothing(x2)

my music is something u listen to vibe to
and then go into school or work next day with no clue
this song is about frustration and interrigation
in how the justice system is always ruined, go on vacation
to a hot palm springs for the weekend
and then go to this girl and say nah we just friends
but down in ya heart you wanna say no i aint just
ive commit some sins, from envy to lust
see i envy the fans
and then i will envy that fan stan
while ill be writing letters to the all the poor
and askin them to vote about the damn war
jesus christ my frustration is in my ego
and thats why with this i need to flow
see i never can say the way i feel
but you all know i keep it real
never keep secrets and let life go...
damn dont call her another hoo..so...

chorus

see if you a teen, perants do they understand...
the do understand and talk to you they can
dont pull me back in what you want me to say
cause trust me dont turn ya back, i know where you stay
its time to get to fast...(and furoius)
and then when this race is over ya gonna be last
but if you play cards, you gonna get a ace
its just a sudden burst of shockwave
if you got a sudden burst of ener'gy
and they try to doubt your orginalit-y
why your on the microphone
it aint the same if you in a fight zone
you gotta put up with the stuff they say
and you cant push them and say get outta the way
tryin to fight back
but you cant do nothin u just whack
see most mc's try and perform naturally
thats why at the moment im doubtin im j-o-e

chours

bridge: (talkin slowley)
its just frustration, dont fight it
cause you cant, its just like
someone hittin u in the gut
and you can hit them back
someone callin u somethin
but u cant call em back...

chorus

19. Look At Me

Look At Me
Then Look At You
Now Tell Me
Whats Ya Clue?..i said (x2)

before takin insults at me
let me clean up this proper-ly
i dont like people bein hypocrites
sayin they dont like my...shhh sit
before you try and judge me look at you
and then and only then you can chew
and swallow all my insults down to your gut
and then that deep thing on ya arm, its a cut
see imma book, you need to read the pages
im an animal, i dont like these cages,
all i need is a pen for the lyrics i bring
and then a a microphone for the words i sing
thats why for gods sake
stop bein such a fake
and get on with your own life
go home to ya kids and ya wife
thats what imma be doin soon
as soon as my pen thinks its noon
instead of durin a gun ill draw a paper
then look at me, and then c ya later...

chorus

hold up a second and wait
look ya two minutes late
to tryin and misjudge my life
thats why i bring my favoirte knife
see when i rhyme theres a secret ego
and thats how i really learnt to flow
as you say "look hes such a disgrace"
get a mirror and look at ya own face
yes i can cuss in my rhymes
yes i have commit the time for my crimes,
even though i aint gone to jail for it
and i aint doin wrong to prove it
so on your birthday im buyin you a mirror
and maybe you can perve and see her,
look at me now and you can think
put that glass down you aint havin a drink
no rest is needed when i sing
and then you will walk away like it aint no thing
ugh yeah look at me now...*Background changes*

bridge: Look at me now look look at me now
i said look, see someone strong as you see me
aha, J-o-e, back to the orginal beat...

chorus till fade

finish

20. Listen to my words (bonus track)

you need to listen to my words
to understand why i feel like this
i had a good child hood
but no, not everything was always good
i got the high life
i dont try and cut my self with a knife
i do listen to other rap muscians to think
its better than goin to a bar and gettin a drink
if you listen to the way i speak
you will then understand why i make you freak
for my own pity, nah just for you
ya'll know i can be number #1 wont dont you
if not i gotta show you again with my pen and pad
my music is sometimes postive or negative, never bad
never made a bad record in my life, but thats up to you
to decide cause i really i aint gotta clue,
Listen to em...

if ya listen to these words
you will understand
the rap is why i can
relate to myself to these...

women men and self ritous happenings in my life
jesus christ ive wanted to commit sucide with a knife
stepped back and said no, ill be commitin a sin
then again, i already have ive just drunk my gin
stop drinkin myself sobre everynight
i never used to be like this, right?
i dont get why i am so depressed
all my promblems everyone knows, ive confessed
thats why if you actually listen to the stuff i say
it wont always be stop doin drugs and get out my way
its actually somethin happenin in the world today
about a year ago, got myself in some trouble
and to make things worse, i done it again, in double,
the time, listen to these words jesus christ
thats why i thank all of those who said i was nice
i dont need to cuss in my albums, but i have done
i need two lines for a hit, how you like that son?
ugh, listen to these words...

*Beat only*

forget the chorus imma keep goin
if you dont believe me, grab me and tell me to stop flowin,
im sick and tired of all of you sayin stop havin fun
how can i, i already have done
dont take my mic away i aint done yet
on your mark get set....
*Different beat*
*Talkin* Let me take 30 more seconds....
all this controversy in my music just because im white
and dont forget my glasses, i still got sight
so dont try and take the piss
cause you see im a lyrically genouis i can still diss
tell me know can you really handle THIS....

J-o-e - Thats Right

1. Its Hard (To Get You)

What Did I Do
To Upset You?
you know its Hard
Tryin To choose a card

girl you know i think i love you
but you dont know this do you?
i wish i could say this to your face
im sorry i gotta move from place to place
i cant say how much i miss
i miss that pretty face of yours, which id love to kiss
still cant get you cause its hard
still dont understand how i love you, with a card
could of wrote the words down
but still, i go down town
just to see you
but you still have no clue
theres nothing i can say to impress her
not even if i buy her a coat, with some fur...

chorus

you on holiday
i miss you everday
thinkin of you every minute of the hour
but when i try to be sweet, im too sour
what can i try and prove...im dyin
but everytime i say, im cool im lyin
i can write a poem to you so easil-y
and can i say my rap name j-o-e
all i wanna do is kiss you
but still you never will have a clue
i wanna be your friend aswell
but evertime i got up, i just fell
oh look girl, im a poet
and the only way i can show it
is if i flow it
even then you probably wont care
if i was in the snow, naked and bare

chrous

wait it gets worse
i wanna give you a spell, just a curse
to make you realize how i feel
and i dont really feel like bein real
give me a chance
all im askin at the moment is for a dance
what about a kiss on the cheek
but that will probably make you freak
i aint had to beef with no one who didnt start
look in my eyes, will i ever call you a tart
see im not really vicoius
im just extremely amboitus
well i have to be to ask you
if you said no, i will have the blues
however hard it is for you to love me
just remember, i love you cant you see

chorus

Outro: however hard it is, go for it, dont make the same mistake

3. Can You Understand Me?

it dont seem that you fully understand me
cause everytime you around me, seem to see
something underneath my clothes and my skin
it dont matter how i look does it, fat or thin
so if you do understand me girl you gotta tell
cause if you dont, its gonna make this relationship fell
wait it already has, about a month ago you started like this
this is worse than gettin someone to give me a diss
break my heart,
because yes i might called you a tart
i mistreat women and i can admit that
im just a sleazy slimey rap
please tell me that you understand
that me and you, that is all in my plans
please answer this question
cause ive already started this investagation

Can You understand me baby
Can You try and believe me sweet lady (x2)

see all you gotta do is talk to me
and then with your promblems and mine i can see
a way how to work it out
so theres no point frownin in that doubt
at least and try to keep ya head up
and then when ya readin to talk say sup
then ill know when to talk about this situation
cause no sunshine when ya gone
dont you say i dont know how to be alone
how dare you even think that
im not the only one with some prombles i know
so jesus christ lets leave and go
eat some ice cream under the sunset of UK
with a little bit of chocolate on top
when the suns down at last
look at them stars which go so fast
please say you understand me
and the meanin behind the name j-o-e

chorus

so you can understand me
you really appriecte what my plans are
that i want you and me in one of them family cars
cruising wherever we wanna go before settlin down
and then go to somewhere no one knows a small town
near the beach and live out there
and then have some kids and we give them such care
ill write still, just not as much
that the only thing i want to touch
is your pretty face
and dont worry, no more tourin, place to place
is that what you want girl
cause if so, my life is yours and you the world
do you want this yes or no?
and please dont answer back with a so?
i hate that so which ive had so many times
and write it down in so many rhymes
ugh please say you can do this
just understand me

reason they hid me
is because they really dont know j-o-e
i used to love writing
and then there was something wrong with my lighting
still didnt stop me
not even the cops could stop me
cause im rappin for Uk garage scene
my music is hope is good
something people can cope

of the music industry
no one can step to me
so Yo Yo....keep it real
and time to chill

Yo Yo....

step to me if you want dawg,
but dont be ashamed if i put you to sleep
and please dont go to my mum and weep
cause she said she sick and tired

bridge: give me the mic
give me the light
give me a pen
and give me a paper
thats all i need

chorus till fade

5. Thats Right f/ disulisioned

Spoken: Ugh, That's Right...J-o-e holding it down
with my man disillusioned, got the beat... Ugh yeah

Ayyo, let's do this rhyme and set the record ablaze,
Freestyling lyrics so hot, the recording studio is hidden to a sudden heat haze,
What people don't understand about people like us true MC's, is we don't give in without a fight,
But - uh - Why do haters hate? Who's got the record deal, and is at the top of the global charts? [DJ Scratches] Haha, that's right,
[DJ slows the music to a sudden stop, before cutting back into the beat]
Ayyo, the feeling I get with a mic in hand up there on stage,
I'm not rhyming for fame, I'm rhyming to free my emotions with pen and page,
The way the crowd go wild when I'm just rapping to the beat,
Not anything nursery or soft, I'm rapping plain street,
Ayyo, one day a while back I was still rapping underground,
Then an agent came to watch, 5 minutes later, a new signing had just been found,
Ayyo, us pure MC's rhyme for the thrill, top of the chart's in our sight,
Because we got the skill, [Joe: Yeah][DJ scratches] that's right . . .

Tell me . . . Who can rock a rhyme like this? (That's Right)
Who can hold it down like this? (That's Right)
Who can keep to the beat like this? (That's Right)
Yeah, you'd better believe it because Disillusioned and J-o-e are gonna rap it like this.

keep my words real
its time for you to feel
my emotion rollercoaster
going up and down like a roaster
screaming to get out
dreaming to get out
dont be silly when i say i wanna leave
so imma take some time out and releave
the words that i say
the words that i pray
so im with my boy (disillusioned: yeah whattup)
to say this mic aint a toy
you gotta be carefull the way you use it
cause if you aint you gonna die of a fit
see this pen is a surgeon its a drug
and it does whatever its capable of a thug
So as i say its gonna be alright
as well rap these words into the night

Chorus

I'm hip-hop's new truth and my rhymes are neat, so sit down take a seat,
Nah actually get up on your feet, come dance to the beat,
im knowin for my spittin, see when you freestyle it was written, thats right
listen to me, and ya'll will see
See, when we MC, we don't need anything to be bitten,
We are the raw deal, as real as true MC's can be,
when i started to rap i was a school, you thinkin im all that when i werent cool,
kinda of a fool, but i found my microphone as a tool
Me and the mic are inseperable, we are a team,
Rhyming at 56 bars a minute, we work like a dream,
i can rap fast, dont mean if i battle ill come last, i can rap slow,
so you can hear me clearly when i flow
My rhymes will hit you with an impact like a shockwave or a blast,
Ayyo, it's nearly the end of the show, finish this song off now Joe
aiight, end of the show end of the night,
imma just say to you yeah thats right

chours

6. Ohh Noo....

Ohh Noo, Im Back
Ohh Noo, Run Away
Ohh Noo, Beat Back
Ohh Noo, Ohh Noo

Ohh Noo, its time for me to flow
step back as i take this mic from my hand
thats right the one and only joe
is back and i only got on plan
to take this crowd and hype them up
give them drinks and give em a boy or a girl
meet em together and then say whatsup
at the end of the night, they be dancing with them twirls
so get up and dance
dont bother to argue or disagree
because you only get one chance
and now can ya'll see
that without the music
that it will all have mayhem and insanity
sorry, but then i just gonna lose it
you girl, in that mini skirt is ranity
looking so fyne i wanna see you after
me and you maybe can go away
in my own little rafter
going 20 mile an hour please dont say

chorus

ohh noo, thats right i gotta flow

ohh noo, take this song to to the chorus
and then pick up ya flowers from the flourist...

chorus

7. Freestyle 4 f/ Disillsioned, Heretic

Ayyo, three years of betrayal I suffered from you, being thoughtlessly disloyal,
Three years I was tormented not knowing what to do, being heavily embroiled,
We were close once but now thats eternally gone, between us a rift grows strong,
My main way of coping is through song, my main aim is finding out why you did me so wrong,
I tryed to talk to you once but my questions you continued to evade,
I'm tired of your continuous loving partner masquerade...

I'm what you hear and see, rhymin' master keg pumpin' MC.
Telling y'all what's dear to me, tymin' faster, I beg to thee,
You ain't dreamin', I'm for real, the true deal, my hearts to steal,
But I'm steamin', for th' love I feel, so do heal, trusts broken seal

yo yo, you know this is number 4....
makin sure my heart isnt broken and sore
see im doing so wrong in this song
ive decidin to be strong, turn you around and see that thong
my bad, its time for me to be sad,
dont be embarresed my lyric content
my the message that i shall, that i will have sent,
you know me, its the one and only j-o-e
drinking something which is hennesy
and its time for you other mc's to flee
cause im about to be the greatest lyriciest this count'ry
have even seen, but if ill be tourin pay the fee
wait im getting a ahead of myself
and when i get a head of my self im thinking to my self
my music is a leathal injection
its me heretic disillsioned heres the connection
it will take ages for you to take us down
so wanna shot come see us at the town.

8. Be A Hater?

why you hate
because this is my fate
and thats yours not my fault
not my fault that you was caught
trying to me a pimp
think you a pimp...shhh you a gimp
my rhymes are generally lyrically the best
i dear ya, go on and put em to the test
ill slap then around a bit, then put em 6ft underground
and then get a new beat, cause i hate ya sound
hating why im rapping like this,
cause that you cant help to diss
so what would you think if i would to it to you
cause really, the way im saying it you wont have a clue
my rhymes are a leathal injection
just like your love when it was rejected
copy and paste a bit of the section
because this rhyme and yours, aint connected
so why you being a playa hater
dont hate me, hate the game
cause ya'll things you diss me with are the same
explain, let it rain, get hit wit ya cain
ugh go on try and hate
ill be a playa, take ya wife on a date

Why You Be A Hater
So Why You Be A Hater
Thinkin u a pimp
But You a Gimp (x4) *rapped fast*

shake off ya dust
you to old, get some oil for that rust
sprinkle some soil on it
get a lighter, and make it lit
sharp orange patterns shining around
looking at my rhymes, you be found
trying to copy of the same stuff i say
sorry ill hit you and say get out my way
you all be pathetic trying to mingle
outside with ya boombox with my new single
my lips and this mic are magnetic
too bad for you, just plain pathetic
i can beat you thinking
i can beat you when ive been drinking
and when i drink i cant think
all i do is look at a honney and wink
but thats a different story, dont wanna go into that
the best diss you do is "Man you fat"
ooh wooow, im insulted
look your rhyme machine, hope you know its faulted
thinking you a thug
but listening to my rhymes, its a drug
you dont want to admit it though
take a minute just to listen to this flow ugh
why you be late
why you hate

chorus

i know why you hate, its because your jealus man
and you wonderin "how i know, how i understand"
dont mean to blag
but them new rhymes, are new to my old rag
put your cd in the rubbish bin
and then ask forgiveness cause i done a sin
listening to ya'll playa haters cds
wondering why i got loads of sets of keys
cause i keep it real
and then it make you feel
something beaut-ful
knowing that inside u, u can be cool
give me some break, for gods sake
its not my fault you make songs that are fake
sike, ok sorry, im right your wrong
thats why ive made this song
its my turn to give it a flow
its my cd to burn to please show
ugh hater hater hater
why you trying to come later later later
dont come at all
and that love for ya girl, she didnt fall

chorus

9. Keep On Rhymin

if i died, no one would care
cause really its a cruel would out there
its cold blooded and deep
but i know my stardom, its just a couple of feet
thinkin to be a thug
but please, ive done some drugs
i aint got no gang
but i know some new slang
i can diss
but can ya'll really handle this
i had a girl, she was a real star
she broke it off, now she really far
i dont know where or when she went
all i know is i have to get money to pay the rent
gotta keep on rhymin
dont have time to be finin
gotta get on with a day job or somethin'
gotta get a new girl, she be frontin'
if you want ill make my style fresher
i cant stand people over my back, cant handle the pressure
i wish i was stealth
so no one could dream of robbing my wealth
things may come easy to you
but if i try, ill get the flu
Gotta Keep Rhymin

I Gotta Keep Rhymin(x8)

only job im good at
im not sure of that
never made gold on a song
never known where i was wrong
see im educated, but im a fool
life has nothin to do with school
i gotta keep rhymin
im always gonna be on timin
make a appointment ill make it
if i dont, dont have a fit
makin rhymes
not sure of these lines
that i may say
if i dont, please pray
for my life
with my life i have to strife
these words give me money
but im not sure of that, its all funny
how can i have a sense of humor
when someones got a tumor
i gotta keep rhymin dont stop me
if my name aint j-o-e
i aint mad atcha so dont worry
me and you dawg, meet for curry
some vinadoloo
and maybe you can talk about you
so whats going on in the world today
everyone complaining, no one prayin
gotta keep rhymin, my carrer
gotta keep thinkin, its my fear
so please god forgive me
for all the sins i can see
ugh, rhymin, gotta keep goin

I Gotta Keep Rhymin (x10)
Cant Stop(x3)

yo, cause i rap like this
dont mean i love to diss
see when i write
it can give you a fright
and then make you smile
then you can walk a mile
just to watch one of my shows
or chill back and kick it listenin 2 my flows
dont matter if its live
cause they will both start at five
maybe ill kick it myself
maybe ill dream of it myself
it dont matter though
cause i just love to write and flow
give me this m-i-c,
and i can be the greatest mc
next to tupac and bigg-ie
to bad they cant show us
what the meaning of glourio-us
hit it up with some champagne
then go outside with the rain
dance or just give me a chance
come on one record deal
ill tell ya i love to keep it real
gotta keep rhymin

Gotta Keep Rhymin(x6)
Cant Stop Rhymin(x4)

10. Life

Spoken: Life, Dont Waste It, Comes Once not twice
May Get A Second chance in life, but its rare,

Step back
and relax
take a time to chill
look at my cd, have a thrill
this life is a game
but its a damn shame
writing experimentaly under my skin
my thoughts arn't thick, there getting thin
look in my eyes
and the answer is the questions of the crys
everyone sittin in the bathroom
takin some pills, which will take you to the tomb
give me a break
dont want another love, too much heartbreak
dont get what you want, keep it real
dont give ya heart out, dont express how ya feel
get ya killed, and the case is sealed

This is a life game
but ya pride down to shame
dont worry about ya fame
cause really, the scavengers are lame(x2)

go on take the smoke
really you gonna choke
dont do drugs
like i tried not to, hanged around wit thugs
wonderin wot to do when i werent at school
thats why im now a fool
now paint a picture of me
walking down the street, without my name j-o-e
where i lived the new my name
i knew theres, its the same
but when i get famous, its gonna be i dont know ya
but they know ya
know what ah mean
getting sniffed up by the nemis cocaine
wishing that it wont rain
cause if it does you aint got no place to go
and make sure girls, dont turn into ho's
yo, this life is a game (dj scratch)
a game

chours

am i sane or insane
thinking of these words in my brain
taking time to think of a line
taking an hour to make a rhyme
not sure if i can take this in my stride
but in this game dont hide ya pride
stand up what you believe in
and go to the pub with a bottle of gin
if ya do that, not my fault
get some fries, dont forget the salt
run away from paying the bill
thinkin i might aswell cause its a cheap thrill
so getting some fake drugs
of someone who thinks they a thug
give yourself a break take some time
listen to this rhyme
take this words and verbs as a sign
take it now homie
wait dont react cause you dont know me....

chorus

Spoken: yeah, keep it real, life game life
ugh yeah...2003, J-o-e, hahaha..peace out


11. Down Like This

imma just spit how i feel
never hesitating, always keepin it real
see as i put it down like this
girl you know i never meant to take the piss
give me one more chance
take one more slow dance
let me tell you my thoughts now
that i didnt mean to say it so foul
i meant what i said just not how i said it
didnt mean for us to split
we could of been gloruis
but theres no we, no more us
if you dont like me puttin it down
just tell me and ill take you to the town
give you some expenisve champagne
go out on the street, even in the rain
it dont matter the weather
cause birds are supposed to be together
Down like this

*Scratched* Down Like This *Scratched*
*Scratched* Hands Up Now *Scratched*
*Scratched* Down Like This *Scratched*

i know what i done was wrong
thats why im writing this song

but you know she wanted me for my money
you want me for me
thats why i just want you and me, not three
three times is the chances i have
i had a crush on you now i love ya
place no one above ya

thinking about you for hours

Chorus (x2)

Look girl, in my eyes
maybe we can go for some fries
and try and hide all of these lies
i love you and thats all the matters
give me a chance....just one
dont even have to have fun
chill in ya house for some time
and i can kick it, flowin my rhymes
or maybe you can sing for me
under some candlelight i can see
a sweet smell of that hair
let me make love to you, show you i care

Chorus (x4)

chorus Once only

looked in her eyes,
looked down abit and her bare thies...
her ankles moving just like her hips...
makin kisses using her lips
seduction can me a killer
but when it comes to dancin, no ones realer
she can make you give up information
and make you give her dedication
5-0 tryin to do her for discrimination
ya'll dont really understand
gotta be there to believe it man
she was the ghetto princess bout 5 feet
guys were standin, she made them to there seat
that was only in the first 30 seconds or so
went up to her and said names joe
she laughed and smiled
other guys said she was wild
i can believe that wit that tan
when ya look at her, you need a fan
ofcourse she was the sexiest
she was a...

chorus

i was just chillin at the bar
looked at her, she seemed really far
she winked at me
i turned around to see
if she was actually lookin at me
she was and when i turned back she smiled
i smiled back and laughed a bit...
she was still shaking them thies like a fit
and i was still looking at them baby blue eyes
i got my drink and headed to the stage
guys screamin shoutin, i started to get in a rage
i werent gonna start nuttin though
and then it came to the end of the show
i waited outside the parkin lot for her
she came out, where the coat made of fur
said wanna lift, or not, what about walkin
when we walk we can do some talkin
cause after my drink, i decided to think
i want you and me to link
just because of that wink...
she said who do you think i am
i said you a latino, she looked at my face
and replied, cant i move from place to place
well thats the of the women that took my heart
i knew that it couldnt work, because were apart
she was a.....

chorus

13. Cant Stay

I wish i could hold you tight

15. Dont Wanna Make Me

Spoken: You, You Dont Wanna Make Me Mad
I Tell You, I can cuss in records but i dont,
So...

make you think that ill turn around
ill hit you so hard with the lyrics you'll never get found
all the critizem used against me
something to scream out "goddamn im j-o-e"
im not the orginal gansta nor pimp
but ill tell you one thing, im not gonna take it like a gimp
but im not going to come late
cause my friend said this is my fate
so im asking ya'll
if i hit rock bottom tell me
if i make a rhyme not tight, tell me
cause when im angry and full of ener'gy
you dont wanna make me angry like this
i might have to give it back to you and diss
if you do make me watch out now
i can beat you as easy as milkin a cow
just give me a chance to beat you all
imma stand tall, however hard i fall
wanna help me dont push me down
treat me to the night to the town
sit me down and we'll have a disscussion
stabbing me in the back and all i got was a concussion
cant take me down now, no way
hell no am i leaving this, i have to stay
i gotta stay for rap
since ive been gone its suddenly got crap
im an emotional ride
keeping my head up always full of pride
i might need a new group of friends
the ones that are down to the ends
the kind who wont stab you in the back
go behind ya back and say your whack
wait im getting ahead of my self
im always thinking of my self
how selffish can i be
why the lord cant set me free
lord please just take me home
go to my family, i dont want to be alone
see if i was in the papers ill notice it
if they was dissin of me, ill notice it
im not gonna try and cuss
forget it man, i aint gonna fuss
well its old news this is that
and thats probably the only fac'
that i can rap
but when i say it its just crap
maybe i can grow some wings
im sick of these gold rings
and these 20 inch rims
wheels spinning making me sick
spend ya money wisley, pockets so thick
answer me another question, am i hot
or am i not
its a yes or no answer not a essay
like the mexicans and "onbraa"
or the french with that french kiss
made a song named can you handle this
dont think you can
im not sure about this song you see, i ran
just for the hell of it, i do what i want
see me on tv, a music video on flaunt
on the charts this song will be at the top
confusing me for not being real hip hop
whatya talking about man
ive had plan after plan
just like nas in "i can"
So you dont wanna make
me so this just for the sake
ugh yeah.....

(Rap More, Talk Less???? Take Stuff Out)

Spoken: Too All You Other Rappers Out There
Not Sure About where ya at in this music buissness
dont worry ya'll, oh to the media, good luck
in trying to stamp me again....haha

16. My Creation

yo, for your information
this is my creation
my lyrics and beats
my money and treats (x2)

im not sure about the new technogoly
i didnt have to be a mc, i could of been a master of psychology
ya see this is my creation
so for ya information
judge cases tryin to do ya'll for discrimanation
if i get told it aint my music
ill just tell them not to lost it
ya need to condense my music
break down for the meta-phors
doing the right not wrong no more breaking laws
im rhyme only for one cause
need to focus on my concentration
get ready for some elevation
as i said before ya'll, this is my creation
that i can rap slow and fast
or then hit it back to slow
making someone go last
writin me rhymes just to flow
take a minute for this rhyme to memorize
i hear them loud and painfull cries
still, or look at them blue and beautiful skies, Aha

chours

if space is really the final fronteer
is it really true that were in fear
cause these cryin shoudnt shed a tear
whipe them away with ya hands
make some new plans
my rhymes are always my orginality
im still down to earth, still in reality
dont take me as a fool cause i aint
dont take me as a moron cause i aint
i earned and learned to have this money
i looked after and written my songs
all by me and no one else, my creation

Just realised I'm in some of those haha, under my stage name Disillusioned. That must have been this time last year.

Some verses by me (Disillusioned) I found in that massive list:

[quote]"Ayyo, three years of betrayal I suffered from you, being thoughtlessly disloyal,
Three years I was tormented not knowing what to do, being heavily embroiled,
We were close once but now thats eternally gone, between us a rift grows strong,
My main way of coping is through song, my main aim is finding out why you did me so wrong,
I tried to talk to you once but my questions you continued to evade,
I'm tired of your continuous loving partner masquerade..."[/quote]Another, I still think this chorus I wrote would be amazing with a hard beat. J-o-e coming in with the "That's Right"s
[quote]"Tell me . . . Who can rock a rhyme like this? (That's Right)
Who can hold it down like this? (That's Right)
Who can keep to the beat like this? (That's Right)
Yeah, you'd better believe it because Disillusioned and J-o-e are gonna rap it like this."[/quote]

Other lines by me in that:
[quote]"Ayyo, us pure MC's rhyme for the thrill, top of the chart's in our sight,
Because we got the skill, [Joe: Yeah][DJ scratches] that's right . . ."[/quote]

[quote]"I'm hip-hop's new truth and my rhymes are neat, so sit down take a seat,
Nah actually get up on your feet, come dance to the beat,"[/quote][quote]"Me and the mic are inseperable, we are a team,
Rhyming at 56 bars a minute, we work like a dream,"[/quote]
^ Yes I realise nobody could rhyme at 56 bars a minute haha.


Ahh... Gone are the days when I used to write for hours each day.
Peace :thumb:

WOW!! Thats quite a backlog of lyrics!!

[bigted]

Those were j-o-e's earlier lyrics from when he started rhymin'? Some of them are actually a'ight but he's improved a lot now though.

[Guest Prince]

Yeah they are J-o-e's lyrics... He's getting better. I do think though that it kinda sucks I put these up for him and haven't got a response. Oh well, each to their own
