<strong>The</strong> BEat <strong>Beat</strong> Without<br />
Did It Better<br />
(Verse I)<br />
My life’s like my music<br />
Nothin’ but hard knocks<br />
Hard heads in hard tops, wit’ heavy metal and hard rock<br />
Known to drop yo’ rag top, convertible ya fitted<br />
Undo ya do-rag, crack ya melon and split it<br />
Yeah, I boo-boo on yo’ crew, dude<br />
Disrespect yo’ localent<br />
Respect’s another word fo’ fear, and I tell you that yo’s is valid<br />
But you stupid as broke dudes, wit’ no common sense<br />
Common cause: gettin’ money<br />
But you still bummy, can’t pay no rent<br />
When the trauma hits, you cats fake as campaign promises<br />
Can’t wipe my ass wit’ ya word, ya heard?<br />
You do like Obama did:<br />
Disappoint<br />
You short change, got two cents, but no dollars, kid<br />
Or sick joints<br />
Icicles, nothin’ but slick points<br />
That leave a sucka shakin’, just like when the sig points<br />
Take it from one wit’ an elbow<br />
Who sell mo’ than Tickle-Me-Elmo in December<br />
This rap’s a gift so I suggest you cats remember<br />
I’m lyrically Christmas, and I rock like Eddie Vedder<br />
So you ain’t done nothin’ I ain’t did<br />
I just done did it better<br />
(Verse II)<br />
<strong>The</strong>y gave me six years back...<br />
That’s six years sooner, you cats’ll have to vacate from my<br />
track<br />
Retract the weak rhymes that was writt’ behind my back<br />
Rejoicin’ at rumors of my demise<br />
Surprised by the facts<br />
My faction ain’t fiction, book stickin’s behind yo’ stacks<br />
This is manslaughter on paper<br />
Can you imagine it on wax?<br />
Mess up yo’ game plan, can’t stand<br />
Sharing crumbs, crumb snatcha snatchin’ the whole pie, man<br />
From you sucka Simple Simons<br />
Do like the stock market, and fudge up yo’ whole finance<br />
I’m like them Sac Kings: Dope Royalty, I’m yo’ highness<br />
Multiple tribulations, plus, seductive evils<br />
Equal problems, protect my meth-a-metics wit’ an eagle<br />
Enemies and victims is how I divide yo’ people<br />
I’m all original, no Lil’ Skummy, no sequel<br />
You copycats can’t Xerox, imitate or match this<br />
Gangsta mack shhh<br />
Lyrical coke on beats of cat piss<br />
I can’t miss, rats who stuck like cactus, what!<br />
While I perform, you practice<br />
And yo’ weak beef gets ground up<br />
You can’t hide, I’ll tear yo’ town up fo’ that cheddar<br />
Get yo’ ass whipped wit’ a mixture of phonetics and letters<br />
<strong>The</strong> drama’s forever<br />
You chicken figgas’ll get plucked fo yo’ feathers<br />
So talk shhh all you want<br />
But I can vomit it better<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Beat</strong> Witout<br />

Ray Sanchez Jr.<br />
We welcome back one of our finest lyricist in Ray Sanchez Jr. He comes<br />
live and direct this week with two stellar rhymes for you to chew on,<br />
and counter if you wish. Ray has been a player for <strong>The</strong> <strong>Beat</strong> <strong>Within</strong> for<br />
many years now. He is easily one of our favorite artist/teachers. Ray<br />
speaks the truth from Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, CA<br />
Wasted Words<br />
<strong>The</strong>y must change<br />
<strong>The</strong>y who would be constant in happiness or wisdom<br />
<strong>The</strong> system is hittin’<br />
Pickin’ up on patterns of mad hatters: bangin’ an’ pimpin’<br />
Dealin’ and stealin’<br />
Big wheelin’ wit’ tek nines and teflons<br />
History is the lie that is commonly agreed upon<br />
Voltaire<br />
Rollin wit’ hoes wit’ fake nails and fake hair<br />
When fake figgas got your back<br />
It’s like they ain’t even there<br />
We are what we say<br />
So long as our words are iron<br />
My words are fire<br />
<strong>The</strong>y burn in yo’ heart like your dark desires<br />
And I’m the master of my destiny<br />
<strong>The</strong> captain of my soul<br />
Dan Brown’s Invictus is simply a picture of my goals<br />
I could verbally abuse wit’ truths<br />
And fuse,<br />
Herbal metaphors, point ‘em at yo’ gourd<br />
And knock out a friggin’ tooth<br />
Anyone who thinks they know it all<br />
Is just confirming they do not<br />
David Icke said it first<br />
But I say in a hearst, you will rot<br />
And sooner than you think<br />
Words of wisdom flow like water<br />
But you refuse to take a drink<br />
So I don’t know why I even bother<br />
Why I attempt to educate, plot, lecture or plan<br />
You’s a waste of time and a waste of breath<br />
Beneath my person<br />
Words wasted on the youth fall like hourglass sands<br />
-Till you buried in due time<br />
Or do time up in the prisons
