Tipping The Scales

Tipping The Scales Lyrics

* send corrections to the typist

Ooh ooh ooh... ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh oooh ooh

[Chorus] repeat 2x
Lie, cheat, steal, kill, certainly the shoes
I'm not tryin to fill

Love, live, balance, forgive, God forbid
I don't properly raise a kid
[Verse 1]
That's overnight success
I'm all day, I'm not easily fooled
With what they portray
It's for the line rate
The labels of venom
Industry puppets
Beware of the trumpets
Hunger for fame heres a full course meal
Free mason throw out that record deal
I'm independent with major intentions
Were cashing in with honorable mentions
All glory to God, murder self righteousness
Most of my associates do agree with this
So be it, it took time it took time to accept
Apply to the living then take the step
Left right in motion, full of devotion
Pray for a future without corrosion
Angels all around fixing what's broken
Too much toastin mixed with boastin
Emptyness can't be filled with emptyness
Imagine being on God's guest list
This world is careless, yes I care
I'm always open arms for you over there

[Chorus] repeat 2x

[Verse 2]
Apply the brakes to make a pit stop(rrr)
Hip hop blasting out the back to cover the
Tracks that lead to Writer's Block. You might of
Rocked the mic a lot in close proximity, I can tell
You're locked into me by the way you mock my
Energy. Plots mentally put into action in a
Fraction of afterthought, attacking from from
The comforts of my home dispatchin' special
Forces, from the tone of my voices, to the drone
Of my choice. On my own I can hoist the flags
Of five, but the culture of my crew helps me
Keep hope alive, re-inform the ill-advised vibes,
Gives me strength to survive. Educated and
Street wise, elder of the V.I.s, hard like the
Niagra creasin' my 712 Levis of yesteryear, the
Best is yet to come. What makes one a veteran,
Better run back to the underground where you
Came from... Hell no he replied as long as there's
A steady rhyme supply we keep coming back
We won't die

[Chorus] Repeat 2x
