(Yo yo Zuby yo Zuby yo, u know last time we set it off with The Movement yo but u gotta show these cats what The Game Plan yo u gotta get em son got get em go get em) I got em, yo!
This the latest installation of the Zuby proclamation but my flow’s intoxicating so don’t listen and drive/ u people feeling the vibe?/ Know that class is now in session go and get your pens and paper and pay very close attention (uh)/ cuz every revolution’s gotta start with a message I’m bout to lead the evolution with the track that I’m blessing/ better check your clocks and watches wait I’m jumping a line/ u better set your clocks and watches I’m ahead of my time/ they say I’ve got a lot of flare so I’m about to shine bright work like owl through the night til even Cowell thinks I’m tight (right)/ but not a pop idol Zuby’s closer to the Bible (why?)/ the kid is full of verses plenty chapters and a title (ha ha)/ to those who know it’s him I’m like I’m already a star/ cuz I treat rapping like the gym I only deal with heavy bars (chyeeea!)/ and push without a spotter yearning since the last set and never tire my desire’s burning like the last rep.
CHORUS
Never leave without a trace man (Bad Man, Bad Man)
Cuz if I’m in it it’s a race man (Bad Man, Bad Man)
And they can’t keep up with the pace man (Bad Man, Bad Man)
I gotta put em in they place man (Bad Man)
One of the realest since I came man (Bad Man, Bad Man)
One of the illest in the game man (Bad Man, Bad Man)
So now they wanna know the game plan (Bad Man, Bad Man)
I gotta let em know the name man (Bad Man)
Chyeeea! (Yeah man that was tight that was tight u know but u know, I still hear these people talking like u ain’t nice and stuff yo u gotta talk to em man. U gotta address the non-believers u know, u gotta show em how u built son yo go get em)
Yo, I’m maxing out until I’m sick enough to hurl in a trench/ I see u little people hating cuz I curl what u bench (aww)/ but all the talking is irrelevant don’t stress that I’m the best cuz u can clearly see the evidence like Monica’s dress (ha ha)/ Not generic with the stuff, I’ve just gotta keep it real to me there’s people that I’ve never touched but still they say they’re feeling me (for real)/ so u might think I’m arrogant reality I’m humble (uh huh) I know the talent’s heaven sent but people gonna mumble (uh huh)/ some rappers like to yap about who’s gats are bigger (ha ha)/ always rapping on the tracks bout how they flash the trigger/ when it’s really going down they’re making tracks and quicker/ they look tough but never do nothing like action figures/ I’m just gonna keep it sweet see I ain’t gotta keep it street I’m taking candy from u babies cuz it’s bad for your teeth/ I grind to hitched with papes til the lights go off/ I’m trying to get rich like Gates u just Microsoft (chyeeea!)
CHORUS
(Ok that does it I’m getting really sick and tired of this Zuby character u know everywhere I look I see ‘are you down with Zuby? are you down with Zuby?’ no I’m not down with Zuby! Fricking Oxford boy thinking that he’s like an OG or something, u know kid ain’t even that tight yo I mean he can’t even rap talking about, u ain’t stepping to me, family tree, illest degree, yeah whatever man whatever) Ok, yo!
I’m ripping up the beat it’s deep what’s written on the sheets I spit the truth up in your face and keep the front behind me (yeah)/ I rattle off discerning words and barely concentrate it’s like I’m flattening the learning curve no need to emulate (uh uh)/ the kid is on the come up so the haters stay vexed and I ain’t even paid yet although I’m tight like latex (uh huh)/ it only takes a verse to comprehend that I got skill so I don’t need to see the nurse I know I’m terminally ill (chyeeea!)/ but don’t think that I’m dying the sickness I’m implying’s not related to my fate conveys I’m destined to be great/ cats are destined to be fake if u don’t really switch the game/ always rapping all the same about your chicks and your chain (all the same)/ about your bitches and your riches and the shots u give to snitches u ain’t joking that’s ironic (why?) u leaving me in stitches (ha ha)/ I’m up against the odds time to watch me make it even best believe it’s for a reason I’ve got things to be achieving, chyea!

Chyea, chyeeea!
CHORUS
Too many highs and too many lows
Too many lies and too many woes
Too many rhymes and too many flows
Too many lines and too many shows
Too many guys and too many hoes
Too many rise and too many rose
Too many bends and too many roads
Too many friends and too many foes
It’s your boy Zuby and u know I stay moving lyrics stay cruising verbal abusing vocal illusions Copperfield tricks leave focal contusions proper real hits (what)/ u know I’m not losing know I’m improving gotta stay up so u know I’m not snoozing mind made up so u know I’m not choosing grind game up so the units keep moving (what) brain in the game/ just like Sudoku running through lames like the tape that I go through came in the game with an aim for the fame and my name never changed I’ma rain on the game leave a stain on the frame (woo!)/ same with the name/ hot lines got mines staying in the lane (uh)/ changing the game like I change in the lanes no Range no ‘caine no chain no fame no (no)/ u cats ain’t got no game no (no)/ my raps ain’t got no feign/ heavy vibe clever jibe honestly I never lie (uh huh)/ don’t need no consolation (no)/ got so much innovation/ so while u contemplating Zuby built a strong a strong foundation (chyeeea!)/ I came to shock the nation (chyeeea!)/ I came to rock your station (chyeeea!)/ I came to drop quotations brighter than the constellations Zuby’s got the sickest flow (uh huh)/ Zuby’s got the sickest shows (uh huh) y’all people better frickin know that Zuby’s gonna frickin blow (chyea!)
CHORUS (x2)
Now the truth I’m bout to leak it Zuby’s seeping through your speakers (yup!) they speaking I’m the deepest tell your people they can peep it (uh huh)/ got problems they can keep it I can’t solve it I don’t need it but u haters best believe it when I’m speaking words are heeded (chyea!)/ like fresh air in the game/ yes that breath is often needed get some press and often greeted never stressed and less than heated/ some say I’m underrated know the glow is most incredible/ so yo it’s never faded yo the flow is most indelible (chyeeea!)/ and I’m back in the race and I’m back in the place with a track u relate to a plaque in the case like a rat in the race with a bat to your face I’ll be back to replace filling cracks in the space (woo!)/ raps with the pace with the tact and the grace and the tracks that I lace put the facts in your face/ stacks that I make put it back in the safe and the wax that I break bring it back with the bass/ say u got guns/ what do u believe in? say u got funds/ what are u achieving? Say u straight stunt do u front for a reason? Image is clear we don’t see it for a reason I got bars that people feel (uh huh)/ Zuby’s sick when holding steel (uh huh!)/ lyrical with mass appeal and Zuby’s gonna keep it real (chyeeea!)
CHORUS (x2)
Chyeeea! The Unknown Celebrity/ are you down with Zuby?/ I’m done man I’m out.

The Same Ones

|
Mic check one two/ yo I’d like to give a big shout out to everybody who’s been supporting me so far/ u know it’s kind of funny being an upcoming artist in this music game u know, not everybody wants to show u love/ but the crazy thing is u know when the see u on the TV and in the magazines/ it’s gonna be the same ones that ignored u that are running back right? (chyea)/ so check it out yo.
Yo, yo/ Getting closer to perfection with the tightest flow injection ‘gainst the grain to etch a name and kicking game like David Beckham (yup)/ teach without a lecture what you’re hearing is progress/ speech is for your pleasure so I’m keeping the vox fresh/ mine are special people they say Zuby’s got next cuz I come with special features like your DVD box-set/ say I’m down with Zuby taking names to make an army they love my music making waves the flow is like tsunami (chyeeea!)/ a natural disaster but it’s actually mastered how I intercourse with instrumentals sexually faster (woo)/ make love to beats and drumming unprotected breaks are minimal (uh huh)/ so when I say I’m coming understand it might be literal (ha ha!)/ and I’m not pulling out I think I’m seeded in this game and I’m achieving what I aim because I’m needed in this game (chyea)/ some say that I’ll be rich cuz I’m slick with the wit (chyea)/ some say that life’s a bitch but I still wanna hit (ha ha!).
CHORUS
We all gotta go but who wants to be forgotten?
To take it to the top you gotta make it from the bottom
You see the ones that’s hating when you pitch in the street
But it’s the same ones that claiming when you rich off the beat
Cuz they doubt you when you’re going up
Doubt you when you’re slowing up
Suddenly you’re blowing up
Suddenly they’re showing up
(I bet the same cats that’s laughing while I’m chasing my dream will be the ones asking for something if I’m major on the scene).
Yo, yo, now u know in my reality my life is what these verses be a young black man fresh out of Oxford University (I did it)/ always a minority I gotta represent (uh huh)/ gotta let u people know we’ve got the knowledge and the strength (chyea)/ I reach across the static with a waiver of authority/ flow is automatic ain’t no hater out there stalling me (no) see I’ma keep moving (yeah)/ you’re gonna keep losing (yeah)/ I go beyond the music these are jewels that I’m diffusing/ cards are dealt at random so complain but u can’t change them man I’ll never really blame them say it took an ace to make him/ claim the kid is faking try to frame him when u name him (what?)/ in truth u need some targets and some lessons on your aiming/ still I flow regardless in the mental I’m the hardest my credentials are the smartest I’m a hip hop artist (chyeeea!)/ so listen to my scripture and conceptualise a whisper/ I’m drawing when I’m talking time to visualise the picture.
CHORUS
(I bet the same girl that blanks me when I hustle CDs will be the one claiming she loves me when I’m on the TV)
We all gotta hustle (uh)/ we all gotta give (uh)/ we all gotta struggle (uh)/ we all gotta live/ everybody wants to rake it everybody wants to shine/ everybody wants to make it but nobody wants to grind (no)/ see me on the hustle every season for my passion man I strive to make it double that’s the reason for my action (yeah)/ prove the doubters wrong will be the greatest satisfaction (uh huh) when they out and hear my song and and they wanna claim a fraction I don’t care for their reaction (nah)/ don’t know if I’ll be famous/ I know my fans relating cuz they say I’m like the greatest (for real)/ and even music critics want to buy some Zuby stocks (yup!)/ and even indie kids are saying Zuby frickin’ rocks (ha ha)/ Some say I go the harder way to me it’s just the smarter way/ I’ma get em shook when crossing over like I’m Hardaway cuz I’m a big issue (chyea)/ like visions for the homeless don’t procrastinate your life boy I’m living for the moment.
CHORUS
(I bet the same ones that didn’t wanna give me reviews will be the ones claiming they made me when I’m big in the news)
CHORUS
And that’s real.

My people in the schools who wanna go out break the rules say
‘I got no champagne but it ain’t a damn thang’
And if u think it’s cool go head and buy it act a fool
Go and get your champagne and go and do the damn thang (fool).
CHORUS

CHORUS
See I was gone but now I’m back like the prodigal son/ and while u rapping we just laughing cuz it’s comical son/ I’m spending time behind bars so it’s phenomenal son/ I’m growing up to be a star I’m astronomical huh? (chyeeea!)/ so now the aim is get a name and not a nominal one (uh huh)/ cuz I can spray for days and days it’s anatomically done (yeah)/ and when I’m talking people listen cuz I smack em with renditions bringing back into commission lyrics needing some cognition/ if u don’t get the flow then I ain’t possibly sad (uh uh)/ I know some critics full of crap like a colostomy bag/ and I know some are kinda slow but I ain’t probably mad/ u notice how I’m taking notes like I’m a robbery bag? (I know)/ and so I always stay ahead I send the message it’ll spread I know you’re hearing what I said because it gets stuck in your head/ make hits like it’s karate moving swift like Maserati til I’m hitting awesome totty blessed with apple bottom bodies chyea!
CHORUS
If you’ve never heard of Zuby u could say that I’m a new face, yup
But u cats are still tripping like u didn’t tie your shoelace (Bad Man)

We All Gotta Live
03:35
|
|||
|
Bad Man. And this is the real (the real)
Yo, life is more than growing up as simple as it might seem and in the sewers of the world I’m excavating pipe dreams climbing never ending slopes/ this life is not a joke the broke kids are pitching dope the rich kids are sniffing coke (damn)/ the road of life’s congested but it’s driving they suggest/ only see from one perspective so they're blinded to the rest/ and I’m striving to be best/ life’s a complicated test damn/ everyday hustle we’re all grinding like the next man/ time is of the essence that’s a valuable lesson/ cuz you never know your ending ‘til that time becomes the present/ you set your own limits man and no one’s living twice so instead of fleeing death you should be chasing after life/ some people love to tell you that you’re never gonna make it people try and people fail/ many lack determination but I’ve got a blind date with a lady called success and I’ve heard she’s kind of pretty but she’s playing hard to get.
CHORUS (x2)
We all gotta hustle
We all gotta give
We all gotta struggle
We all gotta live
To be known as an achiever never split at the seams see I was born to be a leader but I follow my dreams/ now I’m hearing people dissing some don’t want me to shine/ in their life there’s something missing so they’re worried ‘bout mine/ so I tell you people listen you can wish against my vision while you live with inhibitions I’ll just glisten like a prism/ the Lord’s my source of light so it’s right to give a mention/ cuz if you think I’m bright then you’re just seeing a reflection/ but I’m not really trying to get religious on you cats cuz I know you simply worshipping the digits coming back/ that love’s the root of evil but it keeps the globe’s motion that’s the truth if money feeble life is moving slow motion/ cuz I know my people and I know they people/ it’s hard to get a helping hand unless you pay people/ sometimes I love people sometimes I hate people/ and some I just don’t understand cuz some are fake people
CHORUS (x2)
Yo, you know what I’m trying to say is that every day is like a hustle/ whether it’s using your mind or using your muscle/ we each a little piece of the puzzle get in where you fit in stay out of trouble/ nine to five or playing live/ people selling drugs ladies selling love/ people wearing suits or second hand boots/ whether you’re neat or in the street/ and it really doesn’t matter what colour you are/ you can be Asian, Oriental, Black, Caucasian/ it’s not about segregation it’s unification cuz to me the globe is basically a single nation/ we have a lot more in common than we have that separates us/ so when we fight each other really we’re just fighting against us/ you feel me? Check it out yo. (Bad Man)
CHORUS (x2)
Check it out yo, yo (chyeeea!) This ain’t simple black and white no one’s really black or white that’s a basic fact of life but ain’t no colour acting right (nah)/ so don’t believe the hype because the media ain’t bright (no)/ and just because they write don’t mean the type is really right (no)/ see race is not a factor we all need the same love whether see or main thug we all bleed the same blood/ what makes a man decide to strap a bomb to his chest? /the same pain that makes a girl confide in drugs to her death (damn)/ I know it’s like the hardest to be patient with yourself but you don’t wanna hit the targets if your aiming at yourself/ no suicidal tendencies being what you’re meant to be/ try to make us products but these words are complimentary so I’ma keep giving (yeah)/ and I’ma keep living (yeah)/ flooded where we standing but we gotta keep swimming see you’re smiling on the outside but inside you’re frowning/ you gotta keep your head up cuz inside you're drowning.

Uh, yo, yo
CHORUS
You can talk rich but you don’t show me
You can talk ish but you don’t know me
You can run far but you can’t be free
You can look hard but you can’t see me
No setbacks stay on track with a rap never get lax
Til I stack to the max I’ma spit crack
Bring it back sing it black with a big track
cuz I want that
Zuby’s got brains, Zuby’s got power, Zuby’s got game, Zuby never cowers/ so the same thing til I’m falling like showers gotta maintain til I’m pushing up flowers/ write hard spit hard sick with the imagery right bars hit hard physically lyrically/ you can hate me but you don’t know me/ try to toll me but you don’t slow me/ try to fold me but you can’t reach me/ try to scold me but you can’t teach me/ that’s bold b you can’t hold me you don’t flow b you don’t own me/ why you wanna act like you so g and you hold heat and you blow g’s when we all see that you phony and you so weak and you so sweet/ come on man that’s not you cellophane images we can see through/ and remain limitless gotta be you and attract the right crowd and you might break through/ why you wanna lie you ain’t built like that/ live by the gun getting killed by that/ don’t pull trigger if you to try to seem bigger cuz when it gets realer find you not a real killer/ people on the inside people on the beat people on the outside people on the street/ people hustle worldwide people gotta eat some people gonna play fair some are gonna cheat/ some have got worries other ones straight balling some have got money other funds are straight stalling/ know we got hoods know we got problems but killing brothers ain’t really gonna solve em.
CHORUS (x2)
Zuby’s got visions Zuby’s got dreams/ globe is like a prison world is like a theme/ countries cages food is wages armed and dangerous human rages we don’t need love we don’t need peace/ we just need slugs and a lil chrome piece/ spill a lil blood make the people know peace and if they try to run hit em in the dome piece/ that’s not fun that’s not right they’ve got guns we’ve got knives/ armies navies grown ups babies soldiers ladies man it’s crazy boys got tools/ for no price got no schools that’s just trife/ they’re not fools but that’s just strife/ that’s not cool but that’s just life/ go through stages conflicts ages time turns pages some outrageous and it’s so real/ how you cats feel?/ knowing that your kids could be riddled with steel/ knowing that your son could be sent against will to a land full of enemies mission is real/ head full of memories wishing it’s drills but death is the recipe kill or be killed/ terrorism cataclysm blowing up the television and it don’t rest/ kids are so stressed underneath the uniform kids have got teks/ ain’t really warm but kids have got vest now they’ve gotta come to term with it ain’t it so messed?/ yeah they still young but they know the unrest so I pray for the next gen and hope for the best.

(Webbafied)
Starting blocks as opposed to hitting the finish line/ Brutus versus Popeye underdog and its spinach time (uh-huh!)/ the ways of the world leave me down in the dumps/ but I reconstruct my beginning its bigger than blowing up/ dun-dunn!
It’s a lot bigger than blowing up Zub you gotta tell em (I know man, I know) All over again! (true indeed)
Like a convict, serving 20 odd at large/ finally set free in society its gotta be hard!/ your baby moms moved on, got another brother raising your kid/ starting fresh coming home from a bid I guess…
It’s gotta be difficult it can’t be simple (that’s life man) yo!
Like the cheating boyfriend or the backstabbing lady (uh huh)/ forgiven by your counterpart broken heart for your baby boo/ guess you starting over too cuz if its true/ your new beginning’s spinning them gray skies into blue so/ choose, lose, win, begin/ we gon’ start it over again so all in sing it!
CHORUS
Work so hard, but I’m only human
All over again!
Start all over again, again
(Zuby)

(right, right, right?) you know what I’m saying man? Chyeeea! Consider this.
The world’s a messed up place and nowadays you pick your fate I’m old enough to go to war but couldn’t drink in the States (ha)/ if you think about it really yo what sense does that make?/ answer’s clear no shots or beer but can take shots to the face (Brap!)
(Brap! Brap! Brap! All over again)
Yo I rhyme what I feel never sellin out for dough (never)/ this a kinda thoughtful song that’s how I’m feelin at the mo (uh huh)/ kinda stressed not depressed tryin to get Soundscan to this what more do you want yo?/ I’m young hot and talented so love me love me love me/ and I do it cuz I want to, chyeeea!
CHORUS
(Zuby!) Webbafied. All over again yup! This the movement right here yo. Zuby, Webbafied (that’s right) Oxford, Brooklyn collaboration (collabo). Let’s take it home my brother (all that good stuff, get em)
(Zuby)
It’s a sick world we live in these days (why?)/ cuz we can blow each other up but we can’t cure AIDS (true, true, true) we don’t help each other out, we just try to get paid (true) and forget about love/ we just try to get laid, yup
(ha ha! Yeah I be doin that too son) Guilty as charged man! (I feel you, tell em) Bad Man
(Webbafied)
I was jumping the gun in the hundred bar dash/ false start, out of the gate I was on blast (uh-huh uh-huh!)/ dirty laundry hang on my clothesline perhaps/ since its 2006 I should be cleaning up my act/ fresh start!
Physics! Physics! Zuby! Yo take em home baby lets go! (Chyeeea! Yo, yo!)
(Zuby)
Some deny that they feel it still I got they're respect/ no rap vet no teks still its sellin like sex (yes!)/ if I go you’re gonna miss me like the dearly departed/ 3-6-0 rotation damn look I’m back where I started.
(Zuby, Webbie two-thou-six!) And we do it cuz we want to.
CHORUS
That’s how we did it Zube first track together son
(yeah man, they didn’t know it was gonna happen yo)
2006 son you growing as an MC (the next generation of this rap game yo). You killin em right now son! (Chyeeea!) Like, like the prophet! (uh huh, uh huh, that’s me man) the prodigy! (that’s me man! that’s me man!) Oxford! (uh huh!) You know what I’m sayin with sneakers and baggy jeans (ha ha ha!).
It’s a bad look for them! (I know man, lets do it yo)
Tell them dudes to eat their protein bars
