Burden Streak Lyrics by Oddjobs

The Shopkeeper’s Wife EP

2003

[Verse 1: Crescent Moon]
Welcome to my black book, it's where I scrap hooks
And talk shit about sick figures throwing bad looks
Cats took the bait when I pushed the plate
In front of they shooken face, man I shouldn't waste
My breath on words, wait, I shouldn't retrace my steps
Always lead me back to this curb
Crash my ride into the side of planet Earth
Living with you aliens hurts, I thought I landed first
Smack the dirt out your flower pot, bitch!
I'll rock a crowd with the power off
If your album's hot then let a thousand drop
I didn't ask you once if it was coming out or not
I get the clouds to talk and tell me all they sour thoughts
They lift the raindrop and try to kill you cowards off
I never learned how to walk through a strange maze
So I learned how to talk to a blank page
Got soul, got flows and I'm not known
Drop poem, rock show, every spot blown
Got an arsenal flowing through my artery
Studying The Art of War, that's how I start to beat a part of me
Chalk talk part of me, white part of me
Black all of me, not soft, what you think of that? Bring it back
Someone let it wander off track
Wrong path, walk that raw rap
[Hook: Crescent Moon, Advizer and Nomi]
Let me tell you bout the anger (Let em know, let em know)
Let me tell you bout the strain (Let em know, let em know)
Let me tell you bout strangers (Let em know, let em know)
It's even stranger in my brain (Let em know, let em know)
Let me tell you bout the tension (Let em know, let em know)
Let me spread it on thick (Let em know, let em know)
Let me grab your attention (Let em know, let em know)
I'll give it back when it's fixed (Let em know, y'all!)
[Verse 2: Advizer]
Who the crew rocking through y'all blue songs?
Dissing the system that's pissing the youth off
We're giving the music to hate they lives to
Like they drive thru jobs and booze laws
And the tips accumulating in the shoe box
Will measure the relationships that you lost
CMI roll Tupac and Jesus
And the fetus is always on the jukebox
Give me two shots of what to write, good it tastes
Takes it easy to spotlight, get out my life, woman race
For goodness sakes, they all look the same
They're on a foot and tamed, begging to get put in their place
And I shook hands with a lot of you rap cats
And I know no, none of you have my back
Don't know if it's an act or if you hate my tracks
Or if you're insecure with your own tack in the crack
And I know good people who do bad things to good people
And if I had wings, I wouldn't reach you
And if I had time then I would put them
Exactly what they put me through, keep moving
[Verse 3: Nomi]
Ayo, we moving a mile a measure, style is clever
We all endeavor, mad pressure to be better
Than our peers, and every year
Crowds get louder than ladies getting good love in fighting gears
Married to music, relationship abusive
Can't leave it now cuz the heart's been boosted
Bandits that ravage, my happiness' bandages
Can't stop the blood splattering on canvases
Life's iller than Mike Jack's dance in Thriller
Drug dealers can't provide like this here
Nomi can see through them gold teeth and hopefully
Hope floats in dead leaves on Ol' Man River
Old man been on this block to watch the flock
See more stages than the caterpillar
This one's for dipshits, this one's for ladies
That write they thoughts out with they lips split
[Hook x3: Crescent Moon, Advizer and Nomi]
Let me tell you bout the anger (Let em know, let em know)
Let me tell you bout the strain (Let em know, let em know)
Let me tell you bout strangers (Let em know, let em know)
It's even stranger in my brain (Let em know, let em know)
Let me tell you bout the tension (Let em know, let em know)
Let me spread it on thick (Let em know, let em know)
Let me grab your attention (Let em know, let em know)
I'll give it back when it's fixed (Let em know, y'all!)
