There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
I’m not Edward Scissorhands – I don’t cut corners
So I got the uncut, raw comin’ for ya
See I’m workin’ hard everyday just like Logic
Got your nose in the air, you betta come up off it
I apply myself in everything I do
That means I’m polishin’ my skills like a shiny diamond grill
Lawless and flawless – make decisions with precision
On a mission with a repertoire to rep it to the fullest
No B.S. is dropped, so my album won’t flop
Connect the dots. I be mappin’ out my future – no shortcuts
Cuz I got the blueprint, so I’m makin’ moves tactically
Livin’ out my dreams because I make them my reality
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
Been about b-ball since back in the days
Throwin’ down deuces and throwin’ up treys
Every single day I be puttin’ in work
Practicin’ on the cement or on the hardwood
Thinkin’ I’m the greatest since Jordan or Magic
Either MJ – so I’m ballin’ fantastic
Used to slam dunk when I caught it off the bounce
My name rings bells cuz The V is world-renowned
The V’s always down for a pickup game
At Campbell or Paul Moore Park, I make it rain
Forever battlin’ like a no limit soldier
I run ‘em off the court like a Golden State Warrior
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
Can’t knock the hustle? Can’t knock the effort
When it comes to math, I’m an exceptional expert
So I go hard just to justify the weekend
A beacon for teachin’ then I’m out thrill seekin’
But don’t underestimate my passion for kids
And I can see their hunger for knowledge – math wiz
Straight from the heart, it’s all love
And don’t forget, I give it up to the powers from above
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want
There’s 4 things that set me apart
Hard work, hustle, hunger & heart
Yeah, there’s 4 things that set me apart
So give me what I need, and I’mma give you whatcha want

Woke Up In The Burbs

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

Winning By A Landslide
03:03
|

Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide
Me and my people know exactly what it is
Like an inside trader cold stackin’ up the chips
Money money money makes the world go round
So I gift wrap it to ya with this beat that boom and pounds
Siren’s be soundin’ when we hustle through ya hood
Question is am I really down or up to no good
Ay, First comes the plan, then the execution
The result is I’m givin’ ya the ultimate solution
Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide
Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide
Bread, bread, bread, isn’t only what I’m after
Power and influence without bein’ nother asshole
But I must admit I take money over fame
Cuz incognito is the way I do my thang
On the down low I be chillin’ in the cut
Workin’ on a blueprint to get my money up
I won’t let the figures slip right through my fingers
So I keep it fresh and keep it close to the vest
Betting on the V is a sound investment
Check it. I rep it with no exception
I be savin’ up….for a rainy day
And makin’ it rain….every payday
Don’t need the lotto. Real talk is my motto
Have a little swallow from this champagne bottle
So I make a toast to continued success
Feelin’ blessed, very fresh, no stress , rep the west., Ah, yeah!
Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide
Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide
Got stacks of cash – that I’m peelin’ off....Must admit
There’s a bunch of perks to bein’ boss
But I won’t take advantage of my position
So I’m stayin’ humble like K Lamar wishes
Dishin’ out the fetty - without touchin’ plastic
So I’m never owin’ anything – credits outstanding
Gentleman and a scholar makin’ all the ladies holler
West coast ivy league acceptant with a flow eccentric
Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide
Money on my mind? More like net worth
Head in the clouds – but I’m down to earth
Hey, come and get this money cuz I’m winnin’ by a landslide
Winnin’ by a landslide – Winnin’ by a landslide

Stayin’ high as a kite – without hittin’ the pipe
I’m might take a couple sips, but say no to drugs
DJ cut it up, I’m out the cut let’s cut a rug
All my peoples, get your backs up off the wall
I know you’re workin’ hard to make it, take a curtain call
Y’all should realize I’m with you each and every step
Call me your spotter – with you each and every rep
Gimme one more – I still wanna be champion
And do…all the things…that they say…can’t be done
One on one – I’mma take it the house and watch
All the fans throw they hands in the air and jock
My position – prince ‘til I’m christened
King like Lebron James, hit ‘em with that fade away
I keep point-scorin’ just like the Splash brothers
Golden State Warrior out to smash suckas
We in CA LI FOR NI A– What you wanna do?
Rollin’ down the 101 – What you wanna do?
Just touched down in town – what you wanna do?
I say we put it down – that’s what I wanna do?
We in CA LI FOR NI A– What you wanna do?
Rollin’ down the 101 – What you wanna do?

Hip hop is in our sangre, we blood brothers
Overflowin’ like the red sea, the flood smothers
Do the shoulder sway, ah yeah, we born to rhyme
Call it karma that we come thru every time

Something Ain't Right
04:05
|

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
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?
I need to let you know somethin’ ain’t right
Yeah, should of known from the start
This conflict would tear us apart
Been rhymin’ for years so I’m good to go
But you won’t associate with my flow
Far as you’re concerned – it’s no good
Okay, okay, now it’s understood
But this is the blood that feeds my lifeline
And I’m in my right mind
Been doin’ this since ‘92
And it’s not me to act a damn fool
I’ve built a lot of my life around this
And you just wanna sit there and dis?
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

Bright lights – beamin’ all night

So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
Turn on the lights – they’re shining bright
So step right up – but they won’t blind
Your game is tight? My game is tight!
I’m dominating – like the crimson tide
But dominating is an understatement
Who came to drop it hot on entertainment?
I don’t care about beef so homie save it
The bass is making cracks up in the pavement
I’m reppin’ like san andreas faultlines
Cali livin is soakin’ up the sunshine
I pop my collar – and make ‘em holler
Ever since i can remember, there’s been no contenders
Yeah i’m a titan – oh so almighty
My flow enlightens – i bring the lightning
Strikin’ long and fast like heavy hitters
All the haters jock but end up bitter with the jitters
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
It’s that bright light music – troop, I’m in a zone
Like a 2-2-1 defense – dude, I bring it home
Rainin’ down on suckas cuz i got the scoop
Throwin’ down slam dunks like an alley oop
Logically I’m like keanu reeves in the matrix
I made it. check my playlist – it’s the greatest
Maybe too cocky but i’m usually humble
Cuz i got the buzz that makes the honey bees bumble
No illuminati – just illumination
Paintin’ potent pictures with a perfect illustration
Righteous – flyest – tightest of the brightest
Might just kick it in the stars with my repertoire
Carpe diem – the v will seize the day
Got the latin lingo – check my resume
Line after line of experience is crucial
Take this out of neutral and then watch me shift the gears, Troop
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
Thought you knew I’m beamin’ like lupe fiasco
Peep v’s game - It’s a hustle, not a hassle
Never dumb it down, cuz i run it now
Givin’ you the phunkiest of feel, cypress hill
On the real, I’m from the sj suburbs
Keep it trill – ladies love this latin lover
Cuz I’m so explosive – v’s a supernova
Bringin’ light to the populus – true optimist
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right
Like powerglide – so outta sight
Bright lights – beamin’ all night
Like wifi – streamin’ all night
So check me out – I’ll show ya right

No Surprise

You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
Steadily steppin’, whippin’ always on the go
Outta San Jo the latin dynamo
V and Sinima – that’s a win-win
Live the high life – Sweet as cinnamon
Back up – rack up – stack up chips
Smack the track up with this spit
Amazin’ blazin’ trails like Portland
Burnin’ CD’s then export them
To a record store near you
Bring that heat? I hear you
No need for extinguishers
Raise the roof and let it burn
Rapid-fire just like Twista
Shockin’, rockin’ and droppin’ flows I rip up
Beat the beat up – I heat the street up
And leave my mark – The V! like graffiti
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
#1 stunna – deer in headlights
Watch out now! Fear my bread, right?
Livin’ in the suburbs – hip hop lover
Waitin’ for a chance to be discovered
But if it don’t happen, I ain’t trippin’
It’s all good – never knew no competition
Some keep wishin’, I take action
Just like Jackson – so I’m never simpin’
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
Just like this and like that
Just like Snoop Dogg’s spit on wax
All I do is mesmorize
And I can do this. No surprise.
Just like this and like that
Just like Snoop Dogg’s spit on wax
All I do is mesmorize
And I can do this. No surprise.
Tearin’ up the scene like Speedy Gonzalez
If you need me to do biz then I’m on it
Cuz I’m the man with the masterplan
From San Jose to Afghanistan
That means that my rap transcends
Barriers to the average man
So average is no part of my vocab
All that and then some – Got you feelin’ so rad
Go-gadget flow like Lupe Fiasco
Way more hot than a habanero
Spicy wasabi or tobacco
Try to run game on me? “Oh, is that so?”
Why you wanna mess with The V, girl?
Why you think this here is free, girl?
What you need to do is just come with it
Who knows? Maybe, later we can go kick it
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.
You can do this. You can do that.
Keep up with V? Gonna fall flat
All I do is mesmorize
I can do this. No surprise.

Must be sumthin in the air I see
Must be sumthin you – Must be sumthin me
Must be sumthin everywhere I’m free
Jon?Doe
Yeah, this Scrilicon
They think it’s over, I tell em still it’s on
Took a while off, cuz the thrill is gone
Now we back with the vocab spill-a-thon
Ridin on a wave like Billabong
So put ya hands up high if u feelin JON
Homie V in the house bout to kill a song
Fake a*s rappers straight shakin- silicone
Old school new school
Don’t matter where u from just do u
Me and V go back like Juice Crew
Stay fly like ties and a zoot suit
Poop shoot tracks be the s**t who knew?
This west coast rap with a whoop whoop
101 ridin new coupe
Feel good music- not what u used to
Must be sumthin new – Must be sumthin free
Must be sumthin in the air I see
Must be sumthin you – Must be sumthin me
Must be sumthin everywhere I’m free
Scrilla V
We like De La soul
Still plug tunin’, real krush groovin’
Back since the days of UMC’s
We never lost touch. True indeed.
Keep it so cool like Keith and Moe Dee
We don’t smoke out or drink OE
Just get high off the positive vibes
Redman – so high that we touch the sky
Jon?Doe
So enjoy yourself to the chill vibe
Cali livin to the max just feels right
Got my lady in my sights and she’s real fly
No chronic in pipe- still high
Kickin back with my feet up
Sunset, waves, beach hut
All them haters need to ease up
Not a gangsta but I’m gangsta- geeyuhhhh!
Must be sumthin new – Must be sumthin free
Must be sumthin in the air I see
Must be sumthin you – Must be sumthin me
Must be sumthin everywhere I’m free
Scrilla V
I don’t push Bentley’s, but got plenty drive
Tailpipe’s gushin’ - about 85
Headin’ down south, SLO Town bound
We can freak the funk over Motown sounds
But this Cali – the earthquake state
Shake and bake and make fakes vacate
Permanent vacation, West Coast livin’
Down with my folks and our quotes upliftin’
Like a NASA astronaut
Cosmonaut, Jason and the Argonauts
On a trek to the stars with our music
You’re now rockin’ with the best. Who knew it?
Could come from a menace and a maniac
Past to the present – now we bring it back
Rewind like selectors
We go together like kings and a scepter
Must be sumthin new – Must be sumthin free
Must be sumthin in the air I see
Must be sumthin you – Must be sumthin me
Must be sumthin everywhere I’m free

Inner G (feat. Jon?Doe)
04:48
|
|||
Scrilla V
Allow me, The V, to channel my inner G
I go for the gusto, but ain’t no groupie
Gargantuan in the game, way bigger than Biggie
When I got a gang of rhymes, they all comin’ with me
Take your whole squadron on with guerrilla tactics
Don’t need a gun to let gangsters know I gat this
Got the gift of gab and stay focused on my gameplan
Growin’ my brand like the Giant’s Michael Strahan
Goin’ off on goons and goblins like a gargoyle
Gleak from my speak brings the heat that leaves ‘ya charbroiled
Gadzooks! I go at foes like Geronimo!
Spit like Iguanas with the deadliest piranha flow
But greet your team like, “What’s good?”
Cuz I grind for mine, get green, and stay sharper than a guillotine
So when I up the gigahertz, I stay on point like Jigga’s verse
Shiftin’ gears into 6th – I’m gynormous kid!
Gia, Gia, Gia, It’s my inner G
Gia, Gia, Gia, It’s that’s energy
It’s that energy for my inner G
It’s that energy for my inner G
Jon?Doe
The energy centers me, then it’s me who blows the back out
Endlessly sending me enemies who end up passed out
I hear the music then I black out
Then when I come to, I’ve run through your dumb crew – don’t ask how
Let a little laugh out then it’s back to beeswax
The only thing that I know to do for a fact’s attacking these tracks
In a lost world but I hear them whispering out back like a Sleestack
Land of the never found, I bed the sound and she’s stacked
Now they see it and they ease back- bun in the oven
But they can tell that something’s wrong like she done done it with her cousin
I can’t help it, me and music we related, still we mated
And we made it something beautiful- wonderful lovin’
Impregnated attitude, intelligence, humility
But not without bravado man, you gotta plan for anything
When he’s born then it’s the end of we- basics; M to the C
They can see it’s like he’s Neo out the Matrix- Inner G
Gia, Gia, Gia, It’s my inner G
Gia, Gia, Gia, It’s that’s energy
It’s that energy for my inner G
It’s that energy for my inner G
Scrilla V
When I speak of G, I’m talking inner
Growin’ from within me, that’s why the haters flowin’ up against me
Never claim to be a gangster, but I got mentality
So when I’m gushin’ over tracks, I make it my reality
Granted, I’m exception to the rule
Use my brain as a weapon. You could say that it’s my tool
From the interior, just like the earth’s core
I’m come with the gravity, meaning I assert more
Gracious. Rappers gonna need a taste lift
Like a face lift whenever checkin’ out my playlist
I yield power like the governator – word debator
My tracks contain my train of thought – get the ticket?
My guise stays the same wherever I go
And all of my words are well insured like Geico
So give it up. G’s live it up.
I’m you’re chillin’ in the cut, go get up off your butt and strut, G!
Gia, Gia, Gia, It’s my inner G
Gia, Gia, Gia, It’s that’s energy
It’s that energy for my inner G
It’s that energy for my inner G

I'm In Here

Come check it out, it’s time for me to show
The people who don’t know that I’m in here
I got the flow and I’m good to go
Cuz my fans are the best so they stay dear
To my heart and I’d like to start
By saying that I love you and I’ve been clear
That I can rock and it don’t stop
Up to the top from the first tier
Yeah, I’m in here synchopated with the drum track
The V’s got the side-to-side and the front-back
AKA scrilla, I’m a cold killer
on the mic I spit infernos felt in hip hop journals
Like The Source, (I wish), of internet buzz
Started at the bottom showin’ internet love
my rhymes are like ammunition full-metal jackets
in this space and time I keep it intergalactic
visionary focus - 15 round competitor
never lookin’ back, but still be 20 steps ahead of ya
steppin’ to the AM – rappin’ in the PM
at the cipher – flow is tighter than forceful fire hydrants
I work the bullwhip for suckas talkin’ bullshit
flyer than messiahs cold lampin’ in the pulpit
Merkin’ fake rappers and skippin’ the confession
if you’re in the east, I’ll be your Westside connection
yeah I’m in here, yeah, yeah I’m in here
lyrics in abundance throughout the circumference
yeah I’m in here, yeah, yeah I’m in here
keep it real for him or her out to the perimeter
yeah I’m in here, yeah, yeah I’m in here
carry the torch for true fans in the area
astound the flocks with that really loud pound and
surround the blocks with that dirty south sound

Hey! Got it goin’ on in….a real way
I Tell it like it is….that’s real talk
Like Chuck D lyrics cuz I always keep it raw
Public Enemy - #1 with a bullet
Ever since back in the days like a mullet
How you gonna tussel with the team? You know what I mean?
I got muscle and hustle in my genes.
Verses rain down like Luccini – Camp Lo
Scrilla V’s the handle – lit like a candle
Cuz it’s Lights Out! Everytime I turn it out
There’s no doubt. It’s a rout. All my peoples scream and shout.
Crowds will roar like the Kraken
I get it crackalackin’. Rappin without independent backin’.
Stackin’ up the chips – mackin’ up the dips
Yeah, I got pull. Pullin’ honeys with the hips
Hey! Everybody Lose It and Do The Shoulder Sway
Got California Love cuz I stay in the Bay
So Let Me Ride in low low’s – Dr. Dre
Charisma and charm – Ice Cube – drop the bomb
Tearin’ it up – Chip Fu – ring the alarm
So much flavor, it’s the ultimate lick on my cd
Sweeter than a chocolate See’s Candy
Yeah, Yeah – southside San Jose
Yeah, Yeah – northern Ca-li-for-ni-a
Toast to the victor cuz the V’s a bread winner
The man with the master plan who keep it hundred, man.
Don’t have beef, chief, with nobody
Not time to play games….with your hottie
Do my own thing and represent like a tattoo
So check yourself. My rhymes are comin’ at you.
Hey! Kickin’ it like a San Jose Earthquake
From here to D.C. I won’t keep it P.C.
That’s the formula like the D.O.C. see?
No one can do it better. Alive like Eddie Vedder
I do me. Ain’t always to the letter
A to Z. I rock spots with my vocab
Norcal to Socal – I got ‘em feelin’ so rad
Radical and awesome – Got the ladies jockin’
Got the crowd flockin’ and haters playin’ possum
Time to wake ‘em up and bring ‘em out like Tip.
Time to shake ‘em up and bump this in your whip.
So I got ya amped up – flossin ‘ in your ride
The Fast and the Furious – live in overdrive
Smooth like Vin Diesel grippin’ leather wheels
Rollin’ out thick so we’re rollin’ unreal
Hey! Got you feelin’ some type of way around the way
Simply put, I ain’t worried ‘bout nothin’
Way Too Live cuz I make you move somethin’
I stay in Silicon Valley like a techie
Skatin’ over haters with my flow like a jetski
All the way up in the upper echelon
Put you on – set you off – break you off – on and on
I move mountains like the Himalayan range
I’m playa in this game, mein - always make it rain
Supercharged like a Tesla- rhymin’ professor
Cuz I give you more not the lesser forever
Yes sir – impressor – time for me to fess up
All the fine ladies want me to caress ‘em
Livin’ life lovely – ain’t no one above me
Hell Yeah! Runnin’ over fools like rugby

It’s just like that as I proceed
Givin’ you more than what you want, but what you need
Steadily steppin’, whippin’ and I’m always on the go
Comin’ out of San Jo – the latin dynamo
Call me a forest blaze cuz I’m fired up
Wired to the T – that’s terrific for exactly who I be
Sweet like some hazelnut coffee, or toffee
Or caramel topping especially when I’m flossing
Whip it – Whip it – in my ride
Intro – let me come inside
3 6 Mafia – stay fly
Cross it over like A.I.
Ill, real and trill – yeah all that
You be illin’, I won’t fall back
Beastie boys – intergalactic
Jammin’ raps in NorCal traffic
That there is what it is
And I ain’t doin’ this just for the showbiz
Always keep my nose to the grindstone
Cuz I’m sharpening my skills to turn my hundreds into mills
Wa Wa What What – Wa Wa What What
Give it on up – give it on up
Here We Here We Go – Here We Here we Go
V is in control – thought I’d let you know
Throw them hands up, if you’re stackin’ chips
Throw them hands up, if you’re mackin’ dips
Throw them hands up, if you’re truly smooth
Throw them hands up, if you’re fully cool
Whose good to go? You’re lookin’ right at ‘em
Yeah, up and at ‘em – Blast off like a cannon
Kaboom! The V just stepped in the room
Here to make you feel even higher than the moon
Outta sight – Dynamite – So heavenly
Just like the hills of Beverley incredibly
Focused on my task so you have a blast
Enter with a splash, then leave with a flash
C’mon, hands go up
Swing ‘em back and forth if you don’t give a what
Everybody, hands go up
Throw them shits up if you don’t give a what
C’mon, hands go up

Bum stickety bum
Who’s the miggity miggity man?
I’m off the hezay
For shizzle – understand?
Play partna – cop this and let it jam
Just like a Newcleus rap throwback
Rollin’ out like convertibles – top back
Money on my mind countin’ money in my hand
Take both hands and reach for the sky
If you got a lighter, light it in the twilight
Swing it side to side – everything’s alright
So go with the flow – glowin’ like a red tide
Much love to my people’s in Cal-i-for-ni-a
Been reppin’ for y’all - day one in the Bay
It’s a beat like this that makes me think about growin’ up
Now I’m full grown – V signs I be throwin’ up
So peace out and handle your business
While I be flexin’ on the mic with the fitness
C’mon, hands go up
Swing ‘em back and forth if you don’t give a what

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

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
