BTP YUH BTP YUH B BTP YUH Man I had a rough day Thank god it’s over Mmm. I think I’m going to turn in early Let’s see what a new day brings me Once upon a time I woke up in the burbs Lookin’ all around all I had to say is word The sun was shinin’ bright on south San Jose Breadwinners rollin’ out and startin’ up the day Once upon a time I woke up in the burbs Wiped out the mucus from my eyes and dropped a tird Jumped in the shower and readied for the day Slurped down some cereal with some lemonade Walked outside and took a deep breath Particles from northern cali fires in the air Threw on a mask cuz I choked from the smoke Gotta get this money or for sure I’m going broke Global warming’s got the environment shitty Science got it right, but the politics is shitty Oh what a pity, let’s turn this thing around Got a voice, but all I ever get’s the run around Once upon a time I woke up in the burbs Lookin’ all around all I had to say is word The sun was shinin’ bright on south San Jose Gotta put in work so I can stack that Frito Lay, yeah Gotta interview today and you know what they say? You’re much too old for the culture in the Bay What the hell’s goin’ on I thought I was good To go and on the up & up so it’s understood Should I resort to gamble with the dice now Cuz as I’m standing here I’m slowly getting priced out Of the housing market, oh, what a bargain If you got a hundred grand spillin’ out your pocket Some say be humble cuz you’re really sittin’ pretty But my aim is not to be actin’ so siddity I just want to hold my own on the microphone If you’re feelin’ me then you are never all alone Once upon a time I woke up in the burbs Lookin’ all around all I had to say is word The sun was shinin’ bright on south San Jose Gotta count my blessings for another frickin’ day, yuh Seems like every day there’s a shooting in the news The right to bear arms is givin’ us the blues Automatic weapons tearin’ up the schools What’s a background check if these fools are gettin’ tools Homelessness is like an epidemic Hard to assign blame when the problem is systemic Mental health conditions like chronic depression Are keepin’ people in a vicious circle of regression So I say we put in work to make a difference Pool our resources and do so with persistence First, start a dialogue. Second take action. Three re-evaulate and implement your passion. Once upon a time I woke up in the burbs Lookin’ all around all I had to say is word The sun shone bright on south San Jose Too many problems on my mind that are keepin’ me awake, yuh

I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right I do things for you but there’s no reciprocation I’m the only one that’s spendin’ them funds I try to make sure that it’s 50-50 But I’m the only one doin’ the heavy liftin’ All I do is give and give And you’re on the the take, but that’s a mistake Should’ve known better – I’ve seen the signs Before I always turned a blind eye But I’m hip to the game – won’t end up lame I feel you’re to blame but you don’t feel the same Every time we end up pointin’ fingers You’re the bee and I get the stinger It’s like you’re never ever wrong And this theme goes on and on So take it from The V – watch you back and your stacks And don’t let ‘em suck you dry – it ain’t right Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right Hey You! Guess who?

You’ll never stifle my creative side You best believe – now I’m doin’ just fine You’ll never come between me and my music Quit actin’ so foolish Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right We started off light, now the vibe ain’t right Feels like I’m getting’ squeezed so tight You wanna lock me up and throw away the key And never ever rise to the sun shining bright Should’ve known better when you wanted that ring You wanted a promise and a ton of bling bling But we’d only known the other for a month And you wanted to brag to your friends about the sum Look at those diamonds – see how they’re shinin’ Makes me feel like I’m bein’ robbed blindin’ I gotta ask…What’s the rush? I gotta say…Enough is enough So don’t ever cross my path – you don’t know the half I sacrifice and you get the last laugh Just like the raven, I say nevermore I’m walkin’ out the front door Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right Hey You! Guess who? I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right

Velocity I give it how I live it This ain’t a gimmick, spit bars and I’m with it Voltage Electrify the public Makin’ sure my songs tight so everybody love it Vociferous I come from proud stock I got that loud talk that makes the crowd flock Volume Pump this up ‘til the speakers blow Maximum bass rattle trunks like some 808’s Vernacular Spectacular for the ladies Like rollin’ in Mercedes, women want to have my baby Verses From Venezuela to Venice Renowned words found compounded in each sentence Voracious Tremendous appetite for hip hop Since the days of Eazy E, Cool J, and the Beasties Vocab I got the gift to gab, So throw your hands up and keep stackin’ grands up, c’mon! Everybody in the front bounce Everybody in the back bounce My words defy definition And shine divine intuition Everybody in the front bounce Everybody in the back bounce My words defy definition And shine divine intuition Volatile Any second I’ll go off Show off in any freestyle, that I be wild Vortex Like D O C’s whirlwind pyramid Your rhymes suck, mine are funky enough, kid Victimize Other rapper’s stay tight-lipped I’ll put your whole rap career in a vice grip Vicious That’s mean-streaked malevolence Tearin’ up MC’s until there’s no evidence Venemous Spit poison to paralyze Pulsin’ through your veins from this cobra’s fangs Vigorous That’s how my blood boils Strength in my cells make the suckas recoil Vile An evil personification A mixture of Michael Myers, Freddy & Jason Volcanic Like Vesuvius to Pompei, Eruptin’ with force, and now can’t nobody stop me Everybody in the front bounce Everybody in the back bounce My words defy definition And shine divine intuition Everybody in the front bounce Everybody in the back bounce My words defy definition And shine divine intuition Valiant Deserving much praise Been keepin’ it real since back in the days Vane Frontin’, flossin’, & flexin’ Thinkin’ I’m the greatest over Kanye Westin’ Visionary Takin’ over the scene Fine ladies, I can see myself in those jeans Venturous Been to Europe and back Straight-up legit, put my name on the map Vivacious Livin’ life to the fullest Lovin’ how I’m livin’, every blessing that I’m given Vital Like the scriptures in the bible I got the rhyme recitals that are key to raps survival Vibe That hip hop feel, you feel me Found in the fragments of my DNA Victorious Game over, done deal The best of the best, representin’ from the west Everybody in the front bounce Everybody in the back bounce My words defy definition And shine divine intuition Everybody in the front bounce Everybody in the back bounce My words defy definition And shine divine intuition
