The Palmer Squares - Boost The Levels (Acumental Verse)


Flicking butts in my neighbor's yard

A gitty lush with a cup full of maker's mark
Hit it once then I break your heart
My game is hard, but it's a must that you play your part

I'm a guard like a Saint Bernard
Oh my God I'm a card aren't I? Call me a darn barfly
Vituperate clownsI lucubrate nouns
Hit the whip and roll out like Luda say "wow"

We set the world ablaze, hot with the turn of phrase
Term and Acumental run a spot like commercial breaks
My pen pouring with dopeness, stentorian vocals
While you jokers been corny and hopeless

Oh-ver achievers split flows with a fever
Stone Age demeanor, code name The Cleaner
Ac sip Jose Tequila till both legs are feeble
Goddamn we got the whole place believing

From their brand new EP, Square Tactics.

Blueprint - Feel Me



Get off the internet and make a beat
Stop fuckin' around on Facebook chasin' freaks
You blessed, this is what you get paid to be
But you can't explain why you ain't made a single thang this week

We know you nice. We know the game's mean
The market ain't strong, most of what they make is weak
But they support you, they want you to bring the heat
So complainin' 'bout it ain't about to change a thing

Everybody rap now, your job ain't unique
But the people fuck with you cause what you say is deep
You gon' play the game, you gotta play for keeps
You can't sit still and still chase your dreams

It's a long journey, but it ain't complete
Until you get there, prepare for your chance to speak
That's what the voice inside my head always say to me
So if I'm hard headed there ain't nobody to blame but me

Some was larger now they in the same place as me
Some was smaller now they in the same place as me
Players change, the game's the same to me
Everybody hot, but not to the same degree

Ain't a thang in this world that I can't achieve
Once I'm on track I ain't gotta change the speed
I'mma run rap but first I gotta take the lead
I'm one lap away from takin' everything I need

Might take a day, might take a week
Might take a little hope, might take a dream
Mics ain't lettin' go, knowin' when to let it be
Cause everybody makin' green first had to plant some seeds

I'm cookin' up somethin' that you can believe
While they reality is ruder than that make believe
Make sure that food for thought is safe to eat
Otherwise you might share the same fate as Eve

[Hook]

[Verse Two]
Put the beer down and write some bars
Ain't nothin' gettin' done chillin' up inside the bar
You wanna drink away the pain. Life is hard
You had to drop another grand just to drive your car

It's the same story, we heard it all before
But you a soldier, that's why you got so many scars
It's no coincidence you even got this far
If not you then who else is gonna fight the war?

Other guys got light but not as bright as yours
Even your pops said it, you a shining star
He seen his son bring life to a dying art
But that don't mean you ain't gotta fight for yours

First and foremost make sure your rhyme is raw
Make sure you're on point when it's time to tour
Stay humble cause everybody got a flaw
Now get back in the game cause it's time to score
