"EAST" Lyrics:
Double back when u got it made/ 30 racks and weed, no fat in the collard greens/ off top its me no cap i dont bottle things
flats and grandma rings on the fingers that fondle the thing
holla wit glee no mama this no james harden D, Weak/
niggas gaudy with peak/ followings just like me /
I lost my phone and consequently all the feelings i caught for my GF, my hands was on her wings/ i took em off
how the story careen against the bars
my canteen was full of the poison i need
the trip was long and steep
my innocence was lost in the east
amidst the thick exhaust/
ahki hit the horn it beep
mention my scent is strong
we all that we need, but dont call me brother no more
i keep my sentences short, stack
Pendleton keep me warm in the winter
ksubi cuffed nuh hittin the floor/
new rebuttals for the city morgue who would truly love a visit from us/
my Soul and my Heart all in it, keep fishing God
the macabre finish that missed my Pop Dukes might just hit me, depending how i play my cards/
the wind whisper to me,
Aint it Hard?
i wait a beat the light shimmering from a star
cognitive dissonance shattered and the necessary venom restored/
AS IF IT MATTERS IF YOU THINK IT MATTERS ANYMORE
shit be happening with quick results/ they couldn’t
fathom all the damage that had to get done
piglets in a farrow we cookin up/ dont
give the sparrow no air or room
to sing that there tune
to the sheriff
deadly flowers bloom/ howling
rabidly we stare at you and
say a prayer/ lets take it there like courier pigeon
fifty thousand roots none of em rigid some of wicked
how they grew

Clown the beat, but don't deny that this man did the nearly impossible. Made a beat that no one could ever rap on, then, hit a perfect pocket on said beat, AND bodied the lyrics with, honestly, one of his top 3 verses ALL TIME, own work or featured.

[@yadsewnde8699]

Honestly bro like seeing the correct lyrics just decimated me because it's so dense , like, I'm just catching the nuance in [possibly paraphrasing] "...keep fishing God the macabre finish that hit my pops (might miss me? Idk)...see the light shimmering from a star" and stuff. Definitely one of my favorites in terms of stellar verses by him.

You came in here to name drop for no reason and simultaneously tried to put yourself above everyone else in the weakest manner... Bet you were feeling yourself when you posted that, like saying Quelle Chris' name was going to get you top hip hop status. Mention his wife, or her short lived trio natural resource and people might give you a nod or two. You probably just heard innocent country 2 last year and decided to take a look through his entire old discography and are now acting the way you are. Probably only heard IC2 because of the Earl feature anyway... You're a clown.

Murtogg: He said he?d come to commandeer one. Mullroy: Told ya he was telling the truth. These are his, sir. [hands him Jack ?s effects] Norrington: No additional shots nor powder. A compass that doesn?t point north. [unsheathes sword] And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without doubt the worst pirate I?ve ever heard of. Jack : But you have heard of me. [is pulled along to be put in chains] Elizabeth : Commodore, I really must protest. Norrington: Carefully, Lieutenant. Elizabeth : Pirate or not this man saved my life. Norrington: One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness. Jack : Though it seems enough to condemn him. Norrington: Indeed. [ Gillette moves away from Jack ] Jack : Finally. [throws his irons around Elizabeth ?s neck] Governor Swann : No, don?t shoot! Jack : I knew you?d warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat. Commodore! Elizabeth . It is Elizabeth isn?t it? Elizabeth : It?s Miss Swann . Jack : Miss Swann , if you?d be so kind. Come, come, dear. We don?t have all day. Now if you?d be very kind. [she straps on his sword, puts on his hat, etc.] Easy on the goods, darling. Elizabeth : You?re despicable. Jack : Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you save mine, we?re square. Gentlemen, m?lady, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow ! [pushes Elizabeth away and escapes, swinging around and landing on a beam above their heads] Governor Swann : Now, will you shoot him? Norrington: Open fire! [ Jack is shot at] On his heels. [ Jack throws his chains about a rope and slides down to the ground] Gillette , Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it.

Clearly the point of the song was for Earl to rap over a beat with really no drums and just loop it and create his own beat with his words. The lyrics and the complexity of the beat is the whole point of the song. Probably a lot of kids in the comments.

Fun fact: im pretty sure this is an arabic/Egyptian sample, and for arab listeners it actually sounds really awkward and hard to the ear because its off beat (Arabic music's is usually faster, has to have a tabla in the background (90%) so if your arab were probably waiting for its kick and was quite annoyed/on edge the while song xd.
