about

'Just a Chapter' gets grimey! It's a small chapter of my life and my mentality when I was in Tokyo doing what a hustler does..The pessimistic and paranoid way of thinking floods over this track. I didn't include it in the album because, well, there wasn't enough space on the album..and it might go over the heads of a few people who wouldn't understand the lyrics of it. Every lyric of it is my true story of course.

lyrics

Take flipped coke
as if it was legal
to any every people
that dont make grammatical sense
but if it does make money
it does make sense

I was young apprentice in admist of death
red eyed blow my high and I slit ur wrists
u feelin suicidal? I'll collect my sins
cash the cheque to the reaper I'm in debt
ye neway I had to scramble for my rep
open mics fighting just to get to the decks
back alley urashibuya winter or summer
hooded up say wassup to T in the hummer
we used to politic on the curb with a drink
he said look 'kids dream and men live'
T wanted me to quit rap n sing
because in japan essentially
rap ain't shit
mimicking the US thats a joke
I never seen a bulletproof vest in tokyo
still I know ex-cons n chinese murderers
hungry to kill they say ni er le ma?
chukagai to kabukicho
you do or die and follow codes
bloodlines n oaths
if u ain't in the beef ull never ever know
but if u stay in the streets
stay to take the throne
it takes discipline to grow
your instinct bushido
lived it
undercovers up in ya business
younger mothers fuckin your sixth sense
cos the 7th one is within ur dickhead
I seen women get impregnated for my mate
for a visa to stay then he'd leave her n say
"babe, that baby is weak that baby ain't mine
put that thing on the streets and that baby won't survive"
yea he said thing to him
a human life is too quick to be defined,
and I comply
saw decapitated heads on the chuo line
and the anger I grew I fully utilized
busting my rhymes live shows
but after my set I'd go
and break in the back door
unlocked safes n took notes
and notes, I'm a robber
in black im Black Rob say 'woah'
yo I live a double life streets n school
I'd go to class to pass off my eights n o's
but as said my friend take knew his dope
I left uni the day I moved my first kilo
distribution now no hand to hand
its me n take against the world
back to back but as I had my back
turned to him,he'd smirk n planned
the day he'd lay me in the dirt
for the cash-for the cash
I seen life fall a bit
and I seen it all collapse
thats as compact as I can explain
you play the game
but the game is a layer cake
bake away
