The Return Of The King
01:57
|
|||
This be the long awaited, sophomore album that y’all anticipated
My come back belated, but I made sure it’s worth the waiting,
Way back in 1984, when I took to stages
I used to break on the floors, and draw in black book pages
With blank looks, a black hoodie, and my arms crossed
B-boy on the cardboard and the vinyl floor parts
We used to coat art, graffiti wildstyle, aliases painted on trains, and the boroughs we claimed were tagged with our names, in colors and flames
no fortune or fame, we wasn’t looking for, and maybe it’s too hard to explain, if you ain't hooked upon Hip Hop, I take it to the halls of fame across the land
Erase imposters names from walls, with my immortal hand
Put my rap on any track, make it slam
Be sure my words are hard, and murder those they're worded against
No luck or chance, for suckers, from ashes, it's the magical phoenix, I'm resurrected y'all, I’m back from my sabbatical

The King Of The South
03:37

Chorus: I am the King of the South, loudmouth, I be the legend people talking about,
from past into the present,I bring it about, still proud I’m still killing it
The legacy and the prophecy I’m fulfilling it
King of the South, loudmouth, I be the legend
People talking about, from past into the present
I bring it about, still proud I’m still killing it
The prophecy , I’m fulfilling it
undebated you’re rated and graded by how you last hit
past shit doesn’t mean a thing, unless you lasted
My ass did, represent the best, first class it’s
Hard for you to best this, still spittin classics
I’m digging in the digital crates
Like a mythical, god for the shit I create
Dutch great, still applaud, when they swim in my wake
Still the pinnacle, amongst all spitters to date
Straight to the point, I cut, fuck maneuvering
Refusing to ever sell my soul for amusement
I’m fusing, past with the present to last and
The last thing, you did, I did it better in the past kids
remain the best ever, see I gotta be
The prodigy, of Dutch rap, trapped in my odyssey
my mythology started in the past, yes
I’ll reign forever, you can never outlast
[Chorus]
Untested unmatched, never bested
You guessed it, I’ve never been challenged, uncontested
I bless shit, back on a track, unexpected
Can’t track it, my rap be dressed in stealth tactics
my boom bap booms, from boom boxes
I rock shit, take away your breath, hypoxic
drop shit, never off track or off topic
I got this, you can’t top or even touch this
rappers abound, nobody heard about
Spread around unconfounded shit, all word of mouth
Blurted out, though they really wasn’t sure about
People got hurt, now they runaway, hurtle out
still underground, cream isn’t worth it
run around, digging in the cellars, where we work it
birthed Hells Mouth rap the mic master
I’ll reign forever, you can never outlast
[Chorus]
|

3. |

I’m armed and ready, I'm never running from danger
I Open carry, hammer cocked, one in the chamber
Pull out a spare magazine, aim for your brain
You be carried out, without a doubt in wooden containers
‘cause I’m quick to draw, I spit raw, mouth a barrel
the legendary, Hellsmouth outlaw, I rattle
and outdraw, anyone that handle me wrong
I stun punks with puns, more deadly than guns
Watch em run off, slow down, crawl and get low down
Ready to brawl, they all fall and get mowed down
you’re defenseless, best brace for vengeance
You best pray, in every case the grave’s your sentence
Relentless, my words cause hurt, and hit harder
With the power, to penetrate and crack your body armor
I disperse words like a double barrelled shotgun
run for cover, or be covered in blood son
buckshot pellets, maximum gauge and caliber
erase you, off your fam’s bathroom door calendars
cause damages, to amateurs, like bombs do
I riddle you with vocalized bombardments, where you run to?
Fam, put up your hands, say bye to your friends
wanna tangle, you get done, see my mouth never jams
Don’t try attempt, to reach and go for your waist
My tongue quicker than the eye, try, I lay you to waste
how you try to save face, nostrils sniffing up earth
Contemplating how you got hurt, head in the dirt
Deaded by words, more lethal, than a cap to the brain
think your ready for revenge, I’m bout to step up the pain
get your head out the gutter, kill that mumble and mutter
My machete-sharp words, slice through you like butter
I hear you start to stutter, ..in puh puh puh puh panic
I converge, clips full of verbs like automatics

Heavyweight Hitter
02:30
|
|||
(Boom), all kneel and hail the king in the room
Got emcees that failed, impaled, on the back of my broom
I use the bristles to sweep stages and floors in the scene
posers crawl on all fours, looking for doors while they scream
crackled and hoarse, because they battled and lost
All things considered, they best be glad I’ve taken a pause
some mistakenly thought, I was forsaken and thus
Maybe a corpse but all you haters have awakened a God
You thought I’m sleeping, I fought against my own mental demons
like a whole team assembled, now the goat, be a free man
Again, see I’m coping, with dopamine, my poems be
No longer eloping me, my words and verbs flowing free
Mind blowing, I find verses in epiphanies
Write rhymes, they’re slipping my lips, like I be trippin G
My brain be tricking me, no kidding if you disagree
Or dissing me for ADHD, not shitting, this is me
(Boom), I'm with the in crowd, the cats and the goons
Bring doom, my verbal hand grenades take out a platoon
unattuned, too clever, to ever conform to the rules
And my endeavor, is separate the gods from the fools
I’m old school and representing the heads
I stayed back, to hold the lines, but now I’m stepping ahead
Set a course with my team, lay out a plan and a trail
And for the sheeple without vision, I’mma spit it in braille
shit I entail, is next level, I wreck devils
Featured in the next rap special, on your rap channel
putting to shambles, all hopes for all you posers that
Lack all the components top rappers are supposed to pack
I toast to that, smoke a cap and drop a classic
The best be back at it, for wack rappers it’s tragic
Next beat expected, it be under construction
I drop it on a DJ Kid Sundance production

I Spit Like Automatics
02:13
|
|||
I got clips with verbs, that I spit like automatics
My mouth lips, barrages of some full metal jackets
Got 21 mc’s in a line, they’re ‘bout to get it
Attract caps, like they be magnetic, call the medics
I Fire for effect, danger close, while I’m at it
Punks run, and try to catch their breath, like asthmatics
I murder them with words, their death will be poetic
My Impact is heavy, my words pack kinetics
your best bet is, drop on your knees, and start begging
you hit the deck, while I check my shot spreading,
Three bullets bursts with sharp words be my setting
I’m leaving y’all hurt, shell shocked, and bed-wetting
Craving back pattings, whenever my mouth voices
You relapse, startled by cracks and loud noises
Curled up in a fetal position, thumb sucking
Post traumatic, randomly ducking, you know that
I’m strapped, my yap spits caps like automatics
Heads tapped, stand in my path and you’ll regret it
It’s sad, a notch on my gun is to be added
Ra-ta-ta-tat I’mma spit like automatics
got hollow point tips, to blow a hole in your ribcage
my solo lip vocals split wigs, and in this case
I stage, and maintain a vocal mass shelling
Your crew fell in, my pitfalls, their heads swelling
They’re yelling, I empty my clips straight from the hip, see
red streams rolling off your fingertips, you’re giddy
your eyes misty, vision blurred, my very words
are like a point blank cap to the brain, you hit the dirt
words hurt, worse than sticks and stones, inflict pain
You faint with your pants crotch wet, and shirt stained
I trained hard for decades, my aim is precise
And my advice, is play nice or play with your life
‘Cause my reticle red dot, is setup for headshots
My verbalized caps, cause burns they’re red hot
trash talk, and get it, the verbal assassin
Lungs blasting, like slugs you duck my words passing
I’m strapped, my yap spits caps like automatics
Heads tapped, stand in my path and you’ll regret it
It’s sad, a notch on my gun is to be added
Ra-ta-ta-tat I’mma spit like automatics

Back Running The Tracks
03:02
|
|||
I Don’t sign autographs, I write tags in blackbooks
I pen hooks, mumble rappers suckers give me bad looks
Their fans shook, because the strength of my rhymes
Is more deadly than a nine, and my venomous lines
Are well defined, see from my mouth to the mic
My style repeated many times, but none alive is alike
I contrive the killer rhymes, weak wouldn’t survive
Don’t pack a gun on my side, but suckers run for their lives
I got all the marks ticked in the game
educated, in the art of causing damage and pain
Suckers acting insane, and try to finish my reign
They are bound to fail, hard there be no way to prevail
Let me explain they contemplate on the facts
They’re too constrained in the brain, to acknowledge they’re wack
well trained, and connected dropping knowledge and facts
SpeedOne, DJ Charm back, running the tracks
You can hope for the best, but prepare for the worst
And all those not scared of us, they go down first
The force from the Lowlands, put time in reverse
The crowds used to show hands, to rhymes that I versed
my lines rehearsed, DJ Charm on the wheels
cuts harder than steel, and breaks part of the deal
Back-spinning breakbeats, dug up deep from the crates
We took a lead in the days, and still today we wreck stage
we never ceased to amaze, and to astonish
And those that know, know that our posse popped knowledge
those days, rap wasn’t taught in no college
self made legends today, so pay homage
the hottest god emcee upon the micro
hyped flows, flammable punchlines like nitro
Like a psycho, but dropping the facts
SpeedOne and DJ Charm back, running the tracks

Rippin' The Microphone
02:38
|

On track and steady, all packed and already
Legendary, always ready, to tackle all of the heaviest
themes and topics, I drop bombs, while I’m causing
Head on collisions, It’s not a matter of opinion
It's a known fact, I attack and make a spectacle
crack the alternative facts, they unacceptable
I Never veer it of track, I keep it practical
Attack you with my lyrical flack, like a magical
Mystic, my lyrics hit shit, it’s like ballistics
Kiddies shit bricks, when they study my linguistics
it’s statistics, the math is in my favor
Bring the best flavor, real rap heads call me the savior
First class pavior, Boom bap I’m droppin it
Diggin in the crates, for days, and then choppin it
Heads boppin’, and heads coppin, how I drop this
Nobody tops this, Speed one topping your top lists
I spit my bullets from the trenches, relentless
Riddled with scars from all the wars, I attended
As I barrage, I come and step over your fences
Face to face live upon the stage, you be defenseless
Gimme a mic and beat, I leave you senseless
So better brace you bout to face the consequences
Of all the days you contemplated, on your chances
Throw in the towel first round, put up your hands it’s
Your last chance, capitulate or heed the vengeance
I leave you dead up in this place, no repentance
I beat opponents with a pencil and a sentence
four letter words, without a curse, and no amendments
And I commence, to demonstrate and represent this
Real heads, happen to be down, no consensus
hence my status, I’m the menace, as I drop this
Nobody tops this, Speed one topping your top lists

I used to tag my name on concrete walls, with aerosols
y’all behold and the story be told, about the old
way we rolled, empty markers refilled with alcohol
throw ups up in the halls, black silver and gold
fat caps up in my pockets, some skinnies we’d be ready
to go heavy, on the fades, unafraid, my hand steady
lines straight, never sweaty, no drips and no mistakes
allowed, it’s all about the way we brought it about
escape routes we all planned in advance, readied a fence
if cops came, we ahead of the game, ready to dance
we outran ‘em with a steady advance, never got caught
red handed, never detained or sent to court
when we ever got spotted when we painted our art
whole squads would come around with K-9’s in the yard
we had heart, we never panicked, collected and calm
my heart rate a steady pace, no sweat in my palms
we would wait in the bushes, and evaded the cops
and when they left we got back and just finish the job
finalize it with some black outlines, mark and tag it
empty cans always stacked on the tracks, like a habit
bet it’s hard to explain, now if you didn't tag along
We had backpacks, and black caps on, ready to run
never carried a gun, I had a butterfly knife,
so that if worst come to worst I was ready to fight
You can ask SCT, EAS, Charm, my man Soke
yeah we climbed out of bedroom windows in black coats
cloaked, we evaded, and we covered our backs
climb across broken fences and follow the tracks
under cover of dark, found our way to the yards
Kept our eyes and ears open for cops, we stayed sharp
by heart, paint our art, like we were going to war
We all dreamt of doing damage, and doing whole cars
Never thought that we take it this far
All the art that we committed, did it under the stars
We were there from the start, and our colors will last
other crossing our path, they got lost in the past,
Yet Our worst surpass, even the best today
Cause we invested in ways, that can’t be tested by lays
Always gotten away, I could fly with these feet
Outrun the cops and the dogs, that’s how I got the name Speed
[outro]
The passion remains, and keeps calling my name
To put that paint on the walls, and my tags on the trains

Unfuckwithable
02:29
|
|||
My proportion is mythical, flows untypical
Raw sounds, beat pounds hard, unfuckwithable
Unforgettable, mathematical hip hop
My shit drops, even the dead, bounce and get up
My tip top, timing flowstyles and rhyming
Would flabbergast, back in the past, I'm still shining
Still move crowds, with a sound that's more gritty
Raised in the south, with a loudmouth no pity
Out loud I said it, go home, forget it
the unfuckwithable, test me and regret it
just let it, rest and let it slide of your back
Let Speed, wreck the beats and destroy the best tracks
I battle the floors, and settle the scores
out to drop shit until my vocal chords are hoarse
My encores, never heard before, they flawless
full force, straight from the source, and on course, it’s
all about, keepin it raw, keepin it boom bap
I whoop ass, I'm the first class, where my troops at
[Yo Speed] . everybody calling my name
I’m on a rampage, top of my game, I can't blame
All you lame ass copycats, I tagged cities
And fans titties, always had some cans with me
So bare with me, I be the just unforgettable
Speedone, the man and the myth, unfuckwithable
When my lungs, spit out the puns, suckers get touched
Stans duck, motherfuckers get ruffed up, and clutched
No knuckles, I spit and let my verbs convince you
the certified lyrical meat-grinder, mince you
The King deep down south the best veteran
Loudmouth, letter to letter ain’t no one better than
The MC, that used to educate the racist
And wasted tape, saying remove the chains it's
The menace with a fat cap, wrecking a stage
got raps for days, I do daze, perplex and amaze
This is not a phase, I’m in for for the long run, no brevity
marathon M.C., I prolong longevity
Got No enemies, I’m 24k see
any enemy I had is pushing up daisies
So all hail the king now , the just unforgettable
Speedone, the man and the myth, unfuckwithable

I cripple crews, with little four letter words
so better think before you do because I know where it hurts
my lyrics grow in the dirt, I fertilize them with you
so your demise will make my rhymes start to flourish it’s true
I got a pun with your name on it, see if you catch it
Cause I’m ‘bout to bury you and yours instead of the hatchet
behind my back, you talked crap, I connected
but you buried your head in the sand, and then rejected
just as I expected, no surprise here maybe
suffice to say, you’re nothing but a cry baby
you to rectify in replies, you televise
but say the shit that you said, to my face eye to eye
every time that you lie, you trip a redline
say that shit a last time before I’ve checked mine
I spit like tech nines, hit you, and you flatline
before you know it you be making headlines
I get ready ready for mine so best get ready for yours
or you’ll catch some rigor mortis, not from natural causes
better jet, count your losses, heed the warnings and leave
or your sudden loss of life, will leave your mama in grief
I bring drama in brief, short volleys of lethal
verb grenades, the commander in chief, I bring evil
to the stage, with medieval forms of rage and torture
the upheaval I cause, forces your early departure
your last position outlined in white chalk
is all remaining, the next better think before he talk
better walk, before the shit hits, and exit out the venue
I eat suckers for lunch, you’d be next on the menu
So I tell you, step up and you be sure to get served
my words hurt you, when you get on my nerves, it gets worse
heed the curfew, go home and stay in bed this time
cause before you know it , you be making headlines

My Lungs Blastin'
03:03
|
|||
I cracked the rap code in hack mode way back in the past
All my rap flows outlasted, the best and surpassed them
keep guessin, how I can turn a bar into a lesson
switch mode into aggression, spit a rap anthem
Drop the rap science, not here to make alliance
Came to riot like deniers, and body the last lyers
Nobody passing by us, or defy what I said
Got that 20 20 sharp, eyes in the back of my head
My mouth steady, one loaded, and always ready
To cap another rapper, my yap remains deadly
My aim still impeccable, trained to be a sniper
Take out one at a time, every biter in a cypher
Survival of the fittest, still be spitting I'm the apex
The first time I did it, recorded it to tape decks
Called best stage act, strong and long lasting
Headstrong, 16 bars, my lungs blasting
Some fail to entail, the rhymestyles that I can master
So no others prevail, this time around, or hereafter
I forecast a, lotta disaster for wack rappers
That can never, fall into step, with my track record,
a new chapter, new era, the same scepter
That can bend space, time and align, mass and matter
whenever I rhyme another line, they get better,
connect letters, every new line’s a fat header
In lack of better, metaphors and more analogies
a rap prodigy, rap god, and centerpiece
Meant to be the gifted Dutch boy wonder
In the rap scene, king to rule and judge down under
The clown hunter, one to vow and to be honest
The one promised and assured to be the hottest
Of lyrical masterminds, wizard with the words and I
Limit it to 16 bars, of spat verbs

Y'all Know The Name
02:44
|

representing, Speed, y’all brothers know my name,
put a gametag, brain stain upon my fame
Brain damage to you amateur rappers I cause
Harsh voices just because there’s no pause to your loss
Y’all brothers know my name, train hard before you start,
No retard charts, ‘cause my shit is from the heart
So all wannabe’s, gonnabe’s , step to the attack
The ones that be, gonna teach you how to act
correct I don’t fall on small talk , I never rest
You never even caught me snoozing on my cess
Check out the unbelievable, conceivable pack
track, bounce back and give wreck on to the mack
I pack, nine mill on silly ass trash
ask the fresh Family now, I got class
I got all the buddha cess I can smoke before I choke,
I go for broke, ask Soke, I ain’t no joke
I ain’t no faint flowin’ ass clown down with all of that
Bet y’all be yelling later that “Speed is so phat”
I ain’t no . amateur, harcore, I’m with the pro’s
Y’all brothers know my name, cause you clockin’ on my flows
Dominating the scene since 1987
With the TR’s we used to drop beats, lyrical weapons
Be stabbin with fat raps, fat caps for taggin’
my name in graffiti on the trains and keep braggin’
My eyes saggin’. Every night I bombed the city
Supersize, black fat outlines I keep it gritty
No pity on the novices, in it for the love of this
Game they call hip hop fame, with all the promises
Not forgotten, my foes and my enemies
They part of legacy, address me ‘your majesty’
And you serve me, for better or worse see
better answer, to my every word or get cursed
The unsung hero, cash back to zero
Heard in every hood from the Hellsmouth to rio
the south grown trio, among the best masters
my name is played loud in back trunks and ghettoblasters

As You Reminisce Over Me
04:16
|
|||
I lose grip, days slipping through my fingertips
sun-rays keep dimming, till the full eclipse
in a way we’re all limping on a single trip
from beginning to our finish, while the minutes tick
there be no tricking this, for me and all, the consequences
steady approaching, every breath we take time advances
we all blessed with just one chance of a lifetime
molecules in chance intertwined, at the right time
from the sidelines, days they seem to speed past
real fast, like a motion reel, I can see it flash
before my eyes, by surprise, I’m off guard
seems like, only minutes came to pass from the start
I dearly depart, like every life has done before me
from ashes to ashes, no exception end of story
and those that mourn me, when I’m dipping 6 feet
await the same faith, as they reminisce over me
see, life is like a fatal disease, nothing be left of us
and death will be the master of relief, for every last of us
so every breath before the last, when death catches us
Let us make the best of it, until we settle back to dust
I rest in trust, see my destiny is plain to me
all that will rest is my remains, my brain deceased
I wait, patiently, nobody need explain to me,
My time to wane is brief, I'm soon to leave a vacancy
grass be my final domain, for then and ever
let the worms and beasts gather, and feast, on my cadaver
feed on my matter, let my body be spilled
back in the cycle I consumed before and deaden the guilt
bury me with seeds, and plant flowers, and plants
And I will rise up again when rain showers the lands
regain power again in new life with new habitus
represent all over again, I’ll be like Lazarus
I lose grip, days slipping through my fingertips
sun-rays keep dimming, till the full eclipse
in a way we’re all limping on a single trip
from beginning to our finish, while the minutes tick
there be no tricking this, for me and all, the consequences
steady approaching, every breath we take time advances
we all blessed with just one chance of a lifetime
molecules in chance intertwined, at the right time
from the sidelines, days they seem to speed past
real fast, like a motion reel, I can see it flash
before my eyes, by surprise, I’m off guard
seems like, only minutes came to pass from the start
I dearly depart, like every life has done before me
from ashes to ashes, no exception end of story
and those that mourn me, when I’m dipping 6 feet
await the same faith, as they reminisce over me
born from the particles, of solar supernova bursts
that converged in us, creating conscience in the universe
every lifes another random miracle of dices rolled
an arbitrary chance event, behold cause every life is gold
