Had It Up To Here - roymond

somethings they is blessings
somethings they is not
tell me where are the dressings?
the tourniquets on arms you shot

sometimes you feel look a nut
sometimes then you don't
if it would get you outta this rut
it's something that you prolly won't do

and if it was up to me
i'd have given up the ghost
cause i've had it up to here
when we seem to lose the most

are we growing up too fast
yeah we're coming up to speed
and it's fixing up to last
we're just diggin up the seed

somethings come forgetten
others fade that way
I don't care I've got em
at least I thought I did today

why you keep me from focus
distractions like short hems
I know the sworms of locust
will teach me of the violent femmes

now you're taking up a cause
cause you're pushing back the sands
and you're digging up the past
while i'm throwing up my hands

and if it was up to me
i'd have given up the ghost
cause i've had it up to here
and to lose i've got the most

Yo, yo, yo, what you heard about Triple MC?
This Crates, mon, featurin Loki-Loc on the track

Triple MC...

Triple MC



VERSE ONE

[Crates]

I know it might seem I don't got stress in my life
I make this game look easy, my problems seem trifling,
Mic in hand, ever tall I stand,
But I'm still only human, a mortal man

The thing is got an image that I gotta uphold,
So don't take it too personal if my shoulder's cold to you
Know the truth, I ain't owin you
A damn thing, handling business is what I do

Yo, Mary Jane an I had a lil fallin out, because
Hustlin' game ain't the only thing I'm about
I'm a three dimensional sensual being, with multiple
Hidden assets and facets that people seldom be seein

Everybody that loved me and had my back as I aged, I watched
Fall into trouble and get hurt or be caged-- I became
Mighty damn sick of fightin these family battles
Shit creek is full of my brothers stuck there without a paddle.



CHORUS - PART A

Here these words, and take the clue
Crates don't wanna be friends wit you
Got enough buddies, just how I do,
And you actin like this shit is new

You 'bout to get your ass disgraced
When I wipe that smirk right off yo face
Best respect my personal space
Realize I ain't got the time to waste



CHORUS - PART B

I thought I made myself crystal clear
I ain't never had a reason to be scared
But you gonna know the meaning of fear
Cuz fuck it, I've had it right up to here

Spent the whole night jus poundin beers
And now I'm sick of hangin round these fuckin queers
If you croak, I won't shed a single tear
I'ma let you know I've had it up to here



VERSE TWO

[Crates]

Now if to trees ya be partial, then limits come part an parcel
Better know where they enter in it: ya step while ya tipsy, last
Hit ain't the liftin effect a this widow thatcha just spliffed-
I'm smashin yo face wit the quickness an dissin yo crew wit the crispest rebuttal

Furthest from subtle, the trouble m'causin's
Simply part of the hustle-- now I'm 'bout to be startin' a scuffle.

Soon as I'm up in the door, I'm lustin fo blood, to be sure
I ain't mistaken in takin' yo girl, m'attemptin ya anger to lure.
It's therapy, verily, got some issues to cure.
Speak with my hands like a deaf man, jus a fist an a roar.

When all's been written, the hittin's done, and you bled on the floor
I finally rest from the war, anotha victory scored.
Your friends scoop you up, and apologize to your whore,
Who's sittin next to me, confessin what she has in store...

As I just rest from the war, anotha victory scored.



REPRISAL OF BOTH CHORUSES



VERSE THREE

[Lokito]

When I first met Crates, seemed like he wrote me off
He weren't a dick to me, he just sorta scoffed
But I respect that cuz respect somethin you gotta earn
The brotha thinks like me, we done both been burned

By boys to who we gave jus a bit too much trust
A hard lesson to learn, but you can take it from us
Don't eva put yo faith in someone that ain't proved
That they be loyal to you, or else you bound to lose.

I don't talk to Holmes too much about my past
And he didn't say what happened to make his ass so crass
But that's the nature of relationship that we spawned
We be brothas fo life, with an unspoken bond.

I came straight out the hood, hear what i'm sayin to you
I spent my whole damn life wonderin what to do
To make a buck quick, fucked wit outta dime
And tho i ain't gettin paid, I'm happy to rhyme

I'm fuckin sick an tired of lookin over my shoulder
Five-oh got me wired, twice a day they rolled up
Can't afford a lawyer for anotha arrest
And don't got no money for a bulletproof vest

Now my only concern is protectin my wifey
Can't leave her alone, I can't take twenty to life, B
So I had to back off, slack off and settle
For a simpler life, livin up in the ghetto
