about

Bills, bail money, & Baby Mommas; Kev-O, Ray Swoope & Doc Giggz join Lord Hakim to vent their frustration over what Doc Giggz describes as "No matter how hard I try to do right-something's going wrong". A smooth jazzy melody summed up by the sing along chorus "Taking all my money/ That aint right at all".

lyrics

Problemz

(Kev-o)
Step in this games with my left and right foot
You better get right or get left, I spit flows
That blossom like when tree growa
My lyrics I serve to those that’s fragile like embryo's
You an your accomplice will searching exits like Gaunlet
Running in circles, like hamster,
hiding in your tent like you just seen a bear and you a young camper
You can’t move in with communion so stop assuming
I’m married to this game like a grooms men
You aint paid your rent then new tenants gon’ move in
We execute plans you still on avenues jobless kicking cans
Gets some grams and be a hustler man
Purchase some land and stand an demand
Get some major money, right in the palm of my hands

(Ray Swoope)
I aint afraid ta be black, I’m afraid to be wack
If these crackers keep on pushing soon I’m a push crack
Bush is a mack, operation push is pussy that’s just the facts
What’s that underneath brotherman’s hat
Stop playing, White folks is acting like Ray aint
Got no edumaction so they won’t pay’m
I sent my songs to the radio station they aint play’m
Yeah they let Chi out the basement but I’m still on probation
We got problems, a blunt and record deal don’t solve’m
I could graduate from college but still gotta keep revolvers in my pocket
I’d like to think that I’m a man of logic
But its hard to make cents without a dollar in ya wallet

(Lord Hakim)
Bills upon bills upon bills is what you have
Common told the truth back then I didn’t do the math
Just thought it was some phat rap shit from outta rhyme
Never thought for second I’d be living those lines
check to check, up to my eyballs in debt
But I’m a make it stretch from one month to the next
That’s my job dude, I’m pop dukes I gotta son to raise
Use math to find my way through this difficult stage
Cutting coupons from the Sunday page for the store
My old Earth told me when it rains it pours
And this aint sourthern Cali, in the Ohio valley
When ends don’t tally they find bodies in the alley
I tried to get a justice cipher born, but they check your record
And I like how they changed the question to have you ever been arrested
Instead of have you ever been convicted your restricted
Well now I gotta go through other channels to handle business
There’s a blizzard goin on and I’m rockin shorts & a sleeveless
Jesus, these devils try’n break your ass to pieces
With all these problems there’s one thing I’m sure of
Allah’s the God always will, always was

(Doc Giggz)
Stress on the brain how do I relieve it
Wanna get blessed by the name , how do I receive it
Its so hard to stay humble in this wild ass jungle
They call me Gigglez behind the scenes there’s a smile that crumbles
Walking through my problems fumble, my dream is slipping my hands
I got kids now, and life is looking different my man
Seems like I’m sinking in quick sand, by than I know I’m gone
No matter how hard I try to do right, somethings going wrong
I hold on to my job, cuz child support is out to get me
Them boys reppin’ red, white, and blue be out to hit me
Baby momma’s crazy drama, all they want is money
Found out one the kids wasn’t mine felt like a dummy
Plus these bills too, and my check aint looking proper
Taxes and child support , are killing me they’re the mobsters
When you think you straight on bills five-o pops up
Them muthafuckas like “ I gotcha I gotcha gotcha”
After all of this its kind of hard to stay positive
Even my faith in the Lord be dropping kid
“But I’m a stay strong though”

about

Lord Hakim Columbus, Ohio

. “My style of Hip Hop is grungy samples over boom bap percussion with razor sharp turntable techniques" “When it comes to emceeing, I’m a thinker I look at it like a published author writing a book, it’s all about vocabulary and being descriptive. The thing about Hip Hop is you actually get hear the novels with an orchestrated background to set the mood for whatever chapter/track you’re on." ... more
