I'm Still (Marley, Lavish, Silex, Dejazz & Ebonic Raven) Marley I'm still, ill here ready to kill/ I'm still rappin' like an animal/ I'm still trying to stack all types of capital/ Flow blowing like a daffodil/ Lavish I'm still a kid but my body is older/ They say I'm colder, I say I'm October/ I'm up front and realer/ And more than ever/ Change for the better/ That's what I tell her/ I used to be inside with nothin' to do/ Now nobody could really step in my shoes/ The mistakes I corrected made me who I am/ ''I am a man'' Silex Silex or you can call me Sam, yes I am/ Still the son that my parents raised/ True to my words, values at the right place/ Close to my heart, still passionate about life/ Dejazz ''I'm still'', that phrase is static/ I'm grounded by granite/ Bold as graphite/ With no alike/ Hip-hop needed a heart and mine's been transplanted/ Never again taken opportunities for granted/ I'm still candid/ Utilizing this urban language/ Every word is Purolator packaged/ Never experience a power outage/ I illuminate like lamp posts/ Over soulful samples/ Everything happens for a reason/ And I broke my ankle/ Another part of my story that I unravel/ God gave me time to spiritually travel/ Possess the blood of an Israelite/ Undiluted/ Like the great exodus led by moses under JAH/ Silex Explore the environment at my own pace/ Never let my dreams go to waste/ And hey! When my motivations change/ I go green recycle my dreams in different ways/ Flexible, adaptin' to last minute change/ Dejazz I start a movement/ The truth is being commuted when I conduct this music/ I build stanzas so there is always room for improvement/ I don't associate with a Judas/ I haven't attracted bad credit/ Wool fabric fresh outta the dryer/ I'm ultra magnetic/ I'm so stagnated/ Never change no I'm not nickel plated/ In the hood I'm still situated/ Sticking to basics/ Deeper than notes played by a bassist/ Bound to bust I fly to places I'm a bullet train/ Joseph is my name I'm still the same, yes sir! Lavish Ok I came from a long way/ Thankful like a Sunday/ I remember when I played video games all day/ Now I'm writing more bars like the number after Andre/ Learning to stop and listen to another might say/ As a lad I didn't know what I had/ Years went by and I feel glad/ To know I have life in my hands and I carry on and think twice when I can/ Ebonic Raven It's the Wizzard, the mathematician that's spitting and grabbing isms of wisdom/ Insisting on inflicting this deadly rhythm/ Still iller than sickle cell/ With the pencil I bring my will/ Instrumentals are getting filled with the brillance I reveal/ Too exquisit with mass appeal as he's passing through the hill/ Feeling passionate 'bout my skills/ Slammin' it for the real/ Slappin' rappers so rapidly, snatchin' their gravity/ Slashin' their cavities/ Check my rapsody/

360 Degrees 04:23
360 Degrees (Dejazz) I'm literate when I leave my fingerprint/ Impressing black ink on a document/ My rap sheet/ Camera's flashing/ Under surveillance/ I've just been escorted by the bailiff/ The judges gave a sentence/ Files of pages on desk/ Lawyers carrying suitcases/ Dressed to address/ My mother is a witness along with other youth that digressed/ Some getting off light/ Others going up north forthright/ Before entering the courtroom/ I rejected liars to be ill-advise/ I laid my eyes on/ Snakes in disguise/ Father always came to court looking nice/ Judgement takes ponderation/ In that case I thought twice at the crossroads we see/ A turnaround in lives from a parole officer/ I received advice I don't remember/ Surrounded by other youth offenders/ When it comes up to it/ Only one with us is our mothers/ Lawyers trying to leave us confused/ I refused legal aid/ Frustrated cause he didn't get paid/ He tried to get the case delayed/ But I didn't even show up at my first court date/ So you think I want to stay on another display/ To a road to hell? Already knew what I was going to say/ Selassie I had me on trial/ I know I'm guilty for robbing that Jesus piece/ Sprite and codeine/ It's funny when I got caught even the jolly ranchers I had were stolen/ I earned strikes like bowling/ I remember at the moment/ Security guard tried to shake me up/ Got himself chocked up/ He tried to press charges with no luck/ Second time I spent my day in a cell/ I came to the realization: jail is equivalent to hell/ You can say politically I am liberal/The only way I live my life is being real/ I tell my life story like it was theatrical/ Now microscope back to the reel/ I'm confined to this cell where the devils dwell/ Possessed by the evils oppressing the people/ Why I drank NyQuil? I really can't explain but it would make sense if I used it to ease my pain/ And I robbed the chain for street fame/ Yet some have more profitable ideals/ Than making a living off of crack sales/ A similar struggle for the financial trouble/ Crack seems to make the pennies double so the pots could bubble/ And it's one way you can be constructive amongst the rubble/ Cause what you learn in the worldwide ghetto is to hustle/ In the block apartments/ Drugs get smuggled/ Cointel protocol: to keep the blacks humble in a more vulgar sense/ Jewelry and clothes make up for a lack of confidence/ In the hood there hasn't yet been an armistice/ Honest men trying to help mama with the rent/ Or often you hear tales of people sleeping in parc kent/ The plights of impoverishment/ That's why our attitudes are against pockets full of lint/ My pops had the attitude of forget a “nine to five”/ ''I'ma get rich or die trying" rather than make a dollar and fifty cents'/ That's a slave drive/ Work hard and it's still hard to survive/ That's life/ Within it all, drug dealers, thieves and the innocent/ Lose their life trying to make a sacrifice/ Dying violently it's like we hear no evil cause we live silently/ But this poetry gave us a means to speak/ Now i place my fingers on a different rap sheet/ My life in perspective told on an angle of 360 degrees...yes sir!/

Oxymore Depuis mes treize ans, j'appuie sans raison/ Sur la gâchette de mon stylo bille/ Dans ma maison en cachette j'écoutais des cassettes au style hostile/ Gars, Faut que je me sauve par n'importe quel moyen/ Sauf par l'illégal bordel moi j'en ai vu plus d'un/ Faire la bévue alors j'affirme mon refus/ Le rap mon refuge, la rage m'arrache la trachée/ Rangez vos clic clic, ouais je suis un chic type/ Pacifique et pas si vite, ne pas courir après le gent-ar/ Plutôt sourire que frapper le gendarme/ Ma drogue c'est la littérature/ Ouais j'hallucine quand je lis mes ratures/ Je suis le meilleur auteur et j'mets la hauteur/ Malheur aux autres, les concurrents/ Vont nous courir après, cons courants!/ Ebonic Raven It's the velociraptor, stopping your laughter on this track,when rappin'/ I'm cracking backs and ankles like Kurt Angle slamming bastards/ My reminiscence of essence, infecting intersections/ Expelled your temple from it's sector like the rhyme inspector/ ''Protect ya neck'' like Method, then step into my direction/ For my perfection as an adolescent had you stressing/ I'll jab a dagger in ya clavicle, to have you shattered/ The name's Ebonic and I'm dropping knowledge for my scholars/ Dr. MaD Nul besoin de jouer les durs à cuire sur ta couverture de vinyle/ Le tout repose sur la somme et la substance de tes principes/ Et j'insiste sur la technique puis la pratique/ Ainsi le doc manie mieux le beat et le rythme qu'un flic manie le flingue et le fric/ Mine de rien ma plume flanche de temps a autre/ J'attend l'aube blanche et fout le bordel sur le terrain de l'autre/ Arme de destruction massive ou simple arme blanche/ Roule avec NBS, Massive et le mec Mad en blouse blanche/
