CHORUS It’s lust, I don’t really wanna hear you talk Just hush, anything you’ve got to say to me Just touch, and let your body talk to me VERSE 1 I see the S in your eyes, the E on your lips The X on your chest girl you know what’s coming next I know you see my me desire making an appearance In my jeans, and you’re about to give me clearance To touch down, get close and squeeze Cheek to cheek, breast to chest, knees to knees We so close we could synchronise heart beats We bout to set off the sprinklers with all this heat Last I heard hey were playing Ludacris But we grinding like it’s a slow jam I know there’s people staring but I’m not really shook Cauz all the blood from my head my manhood took I slide my hands down your back to cup your booty You sink your nails in my flesh reacting to me As I feel your warm breath against my neck I’m eagerly anticipating what’s coming next VERSE 2 Thought I was in control until you took me by the hand To lead me out the club at only 2am It’s either that I trust you or I’ve lost my mind To not know where I’m going and leave my ride behind But curiousity is killing me And this jones in my bones has got to be fulfilled B You cross your legs in the cab trying to control the heat But I know you gon’ leave a wet patch on the seat As you slowly reach for your keys The look in your eyes is just tempting me To kick in your door, pick you up round my waist And put you against the wall Ecstacy without speech, next to me you gon’ reach As I hit you with that small island therapy The perfect combination of pleasure and pain No names necessary girl I’ll see you again BRIDGE No words necessary, I see it in your walk Got the makings for a fire all you need is a spark No words necessary, I see it in your smile You’ve been wanting some of this passion for awhile No words necessary, I see it your face I sense t in your touch and the way your lips taste No words necessary, I hear it in your moans We in the zone, for sure, we in the zone

VERSE 1 Man I don't even wanna be the typical, lyrical hotstepper With a girl for every letter in the alpha.....bet And I lost and now I'm paying the cost and This debt's still not paid off and I know it's karma, that makes me wan' her Like a dread wants that marijuana Yeah I did some wrong in the past Now it's coming back to lash me in the ass an' I can't break free I mean I wanna stop but I can't make me You see I'm sending flowers, spending hours writing poetry And she still says maybe...imagine VERSE 2 Man what the hell is this, I'm even tell chicks That, I'm not in the mood for booty calls Even though I haven't had it in a while But for some reason my mind's occupied with her smile And yo, to be honest, that's all I've got It's like she already knows the plot Like she wrote the whole script Everything I spit she's got a reply for and She's looking at me like boy, you gotta try more They say you always want what you can't have and Maybe that's why I want her so bad but nah I've been in that space before and It's always been easy to shake that bug off But this one's like an infection I'm getting touched by naked women and Still no reaction, coz I keep reflecting Like I'm behind bars and my mind Keeps going beyond stars as I just imagine.... VERSE 3 I guess it's my time to burn, that's life and There are lessons that you have to This story doesn't have a happy ending Shorty wasn't feeling and she really wasn't pretending Even though my ego tried to paint a different picture Telling me that, all I had to do was get one chance to kiss her Man I couldn't even get that close, so yeah I'm gon' have to let these feelings ghost I'm not mad that she rejected me Even though it kinda hurts like a vasectomy with no anaesthetic I no longer see it as pathetic, when I hear people say They can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe Til they hear from that one they love I kinda understand what you speaking of and Even though I never got a chance to consummate mine Every now and then I like to take a little time to Imagine.....

OBSESSION CHORUS O to the b obsession Baby there’s no discretion You and me have got this tension And I can’t breathe yeah O to the b obsession Hoping I can make an impression Now I got a little attention You’re all I need yeah VERSE 1 Girl you a vixen, every time you talk I listen Anything you want I’ll make that my mission Can’t get you out of my mind an addiction No need for rehab I like this affliction Giving you pleasure, my favourite tradition Lingerie first, my favourite condition No need for suspicion you got the position You in my life, I need no addition I’m missing your lips If I have to go more than two hours between each kiss All that I need is this You, air, water….that’s it I’m sick with obsession there’s lust in my veins Ain’t gotta play around so there’s rust in my game Still I’d rush in again Even if you left me crushed and in pain VERSE 2 I get lost in your eyes, and I take pleasure In the view from the front and the back and he sides I will never put you in the back of my ride Girl please, you make me wanna back up my pride You come first, my gold medal prospect Got me on sumpn that I’ve not come across yet A little bit absurd, yes I’m a lyricist But the way you make me feel I can’t put in words I know you observe what occurs when we touch And I can’t fake that it’s sumpn like a rush Hips don’t lie you can feel it in my thrust Like Oprah with money, I can’t get enough Talking bout hustling, even that can’t muscle in Once you and I start snuggling I’m struggling with fever I need my night nurse And only you alone can quench this ya thirst BRIDGE I’m feeling the way that you’re walking And all of your style not to mention You are a natural beauty And you’ve become my obsession Hoping that we can start talking Cause there’s just sexual tension Baby you know I adore you Baby you are my obsession

RESPECT YOUR LEGACY VERSE 1 My life, my definition, I move with a different vision Here’s my petition Wisdom, wealth, virtue that’s the main mission Don’t feed, teach everyone to start fishing Stop wishing, waiting for them handouts Or trying to take a man’s food, what’s your plan about Don’t build your house on sandy foundations I felt the temptations but I found patience Avoided altercations, kept my focus on the grind Not for money but to get a better mind See over time, I realized the choice was good A lot of things that are said, gets misunderstood There’s too much ego, everybody wants to be a hero But it’s like they have no love for people Obama says change but it’s long overdue So don’t wait for him the change starts with you CHORUS You can bang but, that’s not me blood Run with your gang but, that’s not me cuz I’m a warrior, I’m cool on my own I’ve got no time for the hype man I’m grown You can ride but, that’s not me man Duck and hide but, that’s not me fam I seen proof of the power of I can So I’ve gotta stay true to who I am VERSE 2 Self reliance is the best alliance Take the time and analyze that success is a science That relies on the compliance of certain rules So exclude certain dudes, from certain moves As your certain to lose if you choose to be too kind Rely on instincts whenever you’re in two minds You see in due time, they will get their head straight And if they don’t well be glad you lost that dead weight They say life is short so make every second count That’s why every time I drop, there’s another ounce Of improvement, I’m not about losing I drop, get back up, shake it off and keep it moving Some people like talking from the sidelines They cuss you when you’re losing but when you win want a sideline But not on my time, as hard as I grind Please believe that any cake I bake is all mine VERSE 3 Picture a room with your mother, your father, your brother, Your sister, your cousins, your aunties and uncles your lover Your grandparents and your friends from school and college Your boss at work and the heroes to whom you pay homage All the homies from the block, your posse, your crew, your gang, your clique And the one you fell in love with after one kiss And your life is the topic of the day What would you want the commentator to say

I LOVE YOU CHORUS I brought you here so your responsibility is mine And even though right now it’s kind of hard to give you time You’ve gotta know that you’re the one I can’t leave behind Yo, your pops is on a mission you can see the signs You’re probably cursed to do the same it’s in the blood line But I’m gon’ make sure yyour life gets above mine Let you go through what I go through man, how can I Before I do that you know I’d rather ……die VERSE 1 I never planned for you but I take a stand for you You gotta understand when I raise my hand to you It’s only cause I see you making mistakes I made So I gotta get you on the right path and quick Cause time is of the essence, and who knows how much longer You gon’ have me in your presence, so I gotta let you know, what your pops is about So when the opinions come, you don’t doubt What you know Cause, I know they gon’ tell you daddy was a mad man And you for sure could see the secrets to my mad plan So when they run they mouths about me you can laugh man Cause what they get is not second it’s the half hand And don’t worry you don’t have carry on mine One thing for sure you gotta have is your own mind Be your own person, yeah opinions come But your life is yours so live your own version VERSE 2 I give you all that I can, when I can Understand, I got plans but I’m just a man I will make mistakes of course Even though I try to come off as a super hero Yeah daddy know’s best but no not always Life can be a long lonely hallway Doors will open and doors will close But just know that my spirit is with you all day Treasure the values and wisdom I give you A little bit more than material possessions Yeah it’s a material world but freedom doesn’t lie in the material essence And the lessons, I teach you Will be a little bit hard to grasp for now But just hold on to them And have a little faith that the answers will come to pass

Sad State Of Affairs 04:37

CHORUS It’s a sad state of affairs that we have in here And we claim that we civilised Because it’s more than insane cause we keep doing the same thing That destroy so many lives VERSE 1 See I don’t know about y’all but it’s embarrassing To know that there’s a need for operation Trident In case you don’t know that’s the part of the police To deal specifically with black on black crime in the streets What the ….is wrong with us You telling me that this is the state of the race that Most advanced society we made that Carried the burden of slavery and stand tall on the same back And now you trying to tell me that we struggling To find the answers to the puzzling That they keep forcing down our throats straight muzzling But we keep on guzzling and hate and kill each other But feel good to be hustling Come on man escape society Take some to yourself and gain sobriety Look at the story of your life yeah that’s your legacy Now keep it real man to man are you proud of what you see? VERSE 2 Are you strong enough to rise up long enough To divide illuminate grasp and wise up followers Of any man or any clan who strives to dishonour us Who lies just to topple us? The people should salute! And Ill recruit any being, given the fact were all human beings, Tax man, even the police will cease when they stop breathing. All seeing eye, man kinds arteries bleed but I’m past letting the foxes breed I’m not a sheep I need to sever degeneracy so I slice slay with syllables. Benevolent rebel, eloquent, forget embedded pebbles. Severing every traitor with blades of bass Raping state ass, I spit exquisite politics to twist a sick nature Anarchistic ink drips, and civil cysts desist but persist to blister effortless, seeping from beneath lips. Pissed system, missing literalists and although I’m throwing lyrical bricks, You know my path provokes trespass, so tread hard! VERSE 3 Man I watch War Of The Worlds And I swear to god I wish there was a war of the worlds I wish that earth would get invaded by extra terrestials With technology to make our weapons look like vegetables And I wish that they were hostile so we could see How ridiculous the way we living life could really be They won’t care about the colour of your skin The size of your bling The money in your pocket, the position that your In the bigger scheme of things there’s no value To these things that we fight for like animals Instead of all these criminal activities We should be philosophising about the remedies To the problems we face And no it’s not just the blacks Everybody’s in a messed up state of time You not feeling like I’m feeling man just give it some time

The Black Review 04:03
lyrics

It’s time to make a guest list Don’t think that you’re getting in ‘cause you got melanin and thick lips The Black race is one of intelligence, righteous movements And a power that prevents us losing So understand it’s a sign of weakness Walking roun’ being proud of this gangsta street sh.. It’s common knowledge that drugs and guns were placed In our communities to start the self destruction of our race Yeah we fell for it then but how In God’s name could we still fall for that now I remember as a child setting traps for rats Yeah they worked at first but they got wise to that And I’m pretty sure the human IQ is higher so Why we getting burnt by the same old fire You could only be as strong as your weakest link So like Anne Robinson, I’m giving you a smile and a wink……..good bye Now let’s address another issue, and that’s the misuse Of N-I-G-G-E-R We claim that this word has come so far From being used to leave emotional scars…, and we’re proud of that This generation is proud of that, man what’s goin on? Forget about whether it’s right or wrong The fact is this word still leaves us torn We say to us it doesn’t matter it’s just a word But to our elders it hurts, everytime it’s heard So if it’s just a word to you man stop using it And find another six letters to be cool with Have you no respect for what your people went through? The freedom, that their hard work has sent you? You could only be as strong as your weakest link So like Anne Robinson, I’m giving you a smile and a wink……..good bye Now I’m not saying everybody should be revolutionary, but There should be some sense of evolutionary Steps, being taken as far as progress but Looking at us now you’d feel so hopeless The consensus in every city, is Black people are Best known for criminal activity Man I’m sick of being seen like that, you could say it’s not true But your actions keep feeding that In war, thay use divide and conquer Apply it to yourself and it could only make you stronger You selling drugs to your people, you gotta review that You feeling good doing evil, you gotta review that You putting money over life, you gotta review that You caught up in the hype, you gotta review that You could only be as strong as your weakest link So like Anne Robinson, I’m giving you a smile and a wink……..good bye

about

Although called Chapter 2, 'Respect Your Legacy' is actually the first chapter in what is planned to be a thirteen chapter series of The Black Lion Chronicles.The slick production on 'Respect Your Legacy is reminiscent of the musical surround experience of Jackson's Thriller - strings and analog key basses abound - while the vocal delivery is an unforced and energetic intelligent rap. The album is professional and passionate, while Blee sings of positive movements in his own personal life - from streets and temptations, to decisions based on his dedication to living right and making his dreams happen. What else is there. Solid work which will leave you looking forward to more.
