Mantra
02:45

Ay yo brace for impact, bout to hear Prim rap
Got my foot in the door, its no time to kick back
They saturate the game with lames and shit cats
My syntax alone is prone to split wax
Gimme some reverb, Primitive t shirts
Sleek words equipped to spit on each verse
Grab your nose plugs, we're going in feet 1st
The ones with big hearts are known to bleed worse
(There's a) difference between belief and facts
But dont you ever bite the hand that feeds you snacks
I still bleed over beats when I need to relax
This is for the peeps, who think beef is crack
Fuck em, I got the answer, this is the mantra
Half man and half mechanical panther
Part millennial, part seminal banter
An animal spitting fuckin flammable stanzas
Prim, I'm a one man band
I count all of my fans on like one damn hand
Gimme a plug, cause I love that jam
They ask where they can find me, I tell em grinding
My pencil provides the vibe that's best
Going front to the back with side effects
And on the decks, they scratch wax and mics are checked
It's live and direct and the grind is fresh
I'm back rippin it, back to back rhythms It's a
Primitive endeavour so clever and magnificent
Fuck ya man bun, that's the mantra
Stand up, put your hands up, this is the anthem
Smoke and mirrors, cloaks and daggers
They talk a big game but its mostly chatter
They walk with big chains but the shits a rental
Stuck in the loop fam, instrumental
Grab ya pencil, lead to inkwell
Think before you speak, make sure to think well
And step back, fresh raps but who'd of guessed that
Complimenting rappers doesn't mean they'll get the best wrap
It's worth the wait until the chest cracks
All fun and games til we level up like jet packs
I gotta lot to give, hip hop gave me a voice so I can rock this shit
I have the choice to be a victim or an optimist
From brick and mortar to high rise metropolis
I'm locked in, this is Prim the Crypt keeper
The guy that provides live vibes and spits ether
The slick speaker, gated hell the Grim Reaper
They say they don't have a clue, well shit man me neither
Believe it, 8 years in the making
Take what you want and leave the rest

Jungle
02:40
|
|||
These fuckers brought the anger back
Imma Channel the inner animal to hang with cats
Bang the rap, with the snare and claps
On that jungle shit fam that'll tear the wax
This is for my outcasts, those about bars
Those with more flows than hoes without bras
Give a fuck about your modis operandi
Uh, stay raw as your bare bones
The last straw used to fatten up my scarecrow
Hey Prim, Where the fuck'd his hair go?
It's there bro, just been hidden in the mainframe
Driven by decisions and envisioned in the same way
Needless to say, my only teacher is pain
Watch it leak on the page, set your speakers ablaze
This the type of combination turning ether to flames
Anything that will stop the voices speaking my name
Holy cow They really tryna hold me down
They sold me out, but I'm just not buying it How you gonna alter the beast
When you oppose the same culture that holds your beliefs?
I put it up with my peeps in Rah
Split a second for the record baby beats and bars
I always find the drama when I need the calm
I'll spit the whole damn truth, except the secret parts
Purse your lips, put your money where your mouth is
It's worth a bit, but the money isn't countess
They only take the piss when they really aren't about shit
And they really aren't about shit
Bounce kid got bars in the arsenal
I'm firing lyrical darts
At The heart of the Carnival
Gotta push for the fans, the fans are hard to pull
Cause the labels only want the brands that are marketable
1st and foremost, my words are raw dope
Been cutting through the jungle with my crew of like 4 goats
They all about that life, well I heard they snort coke
I'll take a stab at it, even if my swords broke
So move off, ya loose socks on ya boom box
Talking who haa, who blah and who's hot
Well you not, let me save you the time
Don't waste your mental energy trying to play with my mind
Major in grind, a diploma in speech
It's like the music is my only release
Sometimes I die a death of a thousand cuts
And resurrect with a new found sound of love
I give it my all, my lyrics are inner thoughts
The bigger the twisted image, the bigger the crystal ball
Myraid of inner mirrors, appear residual force
When it drops to the ground, dismount the fuckin horse

Traphouse
02:13
|
|||
Prim, ready to snap, back on this trap beat
Ready to smash these, heat Seeker true ether
Spilling directions from the back seat
Grab these, whack peeps spitting with no heart,
no soul, no goals, no mic control
No bars,
Where my emcees at? Raise your hands up
Been sitting on these gems for a while, time to stand up
open up the door, and let the fuckin snares cut
Texas to Canberra, Sydney to San Fran
Witness the rise, gimme a minute to lyrically shine
Spit it divine, gripping the mic deliberate rhythms to bring it to life
I'm on my grind, prime next day delivery
Press play until your chest plates begin to heave
Dope beats, traphouse to raw sets
Let me grab my pad and my pen from the edge of my War chest
Who's that, Loose cat crossover from boom bap
Watch me kick back like a motherfuckin shoe rack
Prim. ....
Prim .....
Prim, now I'm back for the second stint
Carefully administering medicine to listen in
Fiends still smoke the same pot they pissin in
Primitive synonymous for hard work and discipline
We meet again, my old friend the gold digger
Cold figure, straight broke fam well go figure
So bitter, want hand outs with no fingers, shiitt
Can't ride the soul train with no ticket
It's only visible when in its physical form
Metaphorical intuition grippin the pit of the core
This is Primitive rap, feel the Syllables slap
At a minimum delivering all of the lyrics to wax
At a maximum we packing out arena seats
Yeah there's a surcharge but at least you're free
Now ya know
Who, this dude spitting the truth is
And if you can't rap man fuck ya blue tick
Prim

F.P.C
04:05
|
|||
I'm at the forefront with 3 at the back
The iron jaws of an animal feeding on wax
I grab the motherfuckin mic, start speaking the facts
Spitting raw raps homie so you need to relax
Jimminy cricket, Primitive stickers
Lyrical fire ether demon breathing Prim at his sickest
Got out of my proximity, I'm laying a boundary
A thousand hours later yeah they try and surround me
I ain't about to say it just to save the open mic
Its a paradox, introverted socialites
Grab your prototype, bona fide golden mic
If you stepping in the cypher then you better hold it right (no shit)
So kick back while I manifest flows
Gonna be one of the best, that's my manifesto
Its nothing to them, I gotta let go
And hold on to better tomorrows
I'm sick of all of this same old shit
This same old shit, this same old shit
We're trying to hold on to the way that it was
Not the way that it is, the way that it is
I'm sick of all this same old shit
This same old shit, this same old shit
We're trying to hold on to the way that it was
Not the way that it is, the way that it is
I can't keep living this way
It's been 6 and a half weeks man, just gimme a break
and if you, take my pad, better mark my words
I'm Caged in this Pen, enraged by these men
Distilled into rage on the stage where i vent
It's the Wisdom of the rhythm and the cadence I fiend
Just say what you mean, cause your words are ambiguous
My patience is thin, I'm right in the thick of it
My rage begins where my humanity ends
N my energy turns calamity to my enemies friend
I haven't moved, but my serenitys left
Now they're begging me to let it be, to set it free
And they're telling me (what?) to chill and stay calm
And I'm burning up in this emotional napalm
The same car that they claimed to fix
These cunts are both pussies and major dicks
I'm sick of all this same old shit
This same old shit, this same old shit
Just say it to my face and stop being a bitch
Stop being a bitch, stop being a bitch
I'm sick of all this same old shit
This same old shit, this same old shit
Just say it to my face and stop being a bitch
Stop being a bitch, stop being a bitch
The 6th degree of the circle of 5ths
Imma take some time off just to work on my biz
Assess the assessor for excessive oppression
Fire on all cylinders, that's at my discretion
I take my lessons from repeated mistakes
And its easy to repeat em again, like I need the pain
Watch as I bleed on the page
Watch the blood trickle down with 2 feet in the grave
I need to behave, but I've been kickin the bees nest
Poking the bear..fuck it bro he's next!
I detest this deep stress, I regress
Til this stale air fills my lungs to keep fresh
I've been an animal for most of my life
had to learn to shut my mouth, to open my mind
I hit the spot with the dopest of lines
And hold myself to high standards of appropriate shine
I'm sick of all this same old shit
This same old shit, this same old shit
It's easy to be right, but that's not what it is
That's not what it is
I'm sick of all this same old shit
This same old shit, this same old shit
It's easy to be right, but that's not what it is
That's not what it is
For any hope of inner peace in this world, I've found that you need to be 100% honest and take responsibility for your actions. That's integrity.
Fuckin fine print cunts

You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Remember when I pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart
Remember when you took my soul
Remember when you spoke my name
Remember when I lost control and felt the burn of open flames
A day at a time, I stay on my grind
Remember the pain, of the day that you died
You carried the load til it broke your spine
Now all that's left is guilt over taking your life
You could've talked to me, walked with me,
Fuck man fought with me
And now it seems:
I really only knew the mask that you showed the world
I gotta Acclimate
Gotta learn new ways to adapt to fate
Gotta work on myself with a mindset of compassion and a lack of hate
Grass is dead, leaves have fallen
Probably heard the voice of the reaper calling
One last choice to ease the torment
All you left behind was pain
You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Remember when I pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart
Remember when you took my soul
Remember when you spoke my name
Remember when I lost control and felt the burn of open flames
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs
You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs
Remember when i pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart
24k
(Think of how it)
Think of how it felt/
Think about the taste and it makes me sick/
Who wouldve thought that if I took a break for a month or a year it would take me six?/
Who wouldve thought that the doctor would say that I'd be okay if I take this shit?/
Who wouldve thought I could be strong/
Who wouldve thought I'd escape this pit?/
(Now I got)
Slash wrists tryna find blood in my drug stream/
Fuck up and get to close to an O.D/
Crush up the pills and get stuck with a nosebleed/
Love being numb but it sucks to be lonely/
Wonder if I'll still be stuck in a low speed/
Coz I'm fucked up from the script that they wrote me/
Low key dont need a plug and Im so pleased/
I can see the angels approach me/
You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Remember when I pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart
Remember when you took my soul
Remember when I spoke your name
Remember when I lost control and felt the burn of open flames
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs
You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs
Remember when i pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart
Just for today, enough of us stay
All of fucked, just on separate days
I know you're gone but I see your face
Some don't believe, yet all of us pray
Pray, pray, pray for change
Want it to be different while ya stay the same
Say, say, say my name
The master will control his slave
I got a lot a learn
If you spot it, then you got it but I'm not concerned
Lit a lot of flames to watch options burn
Still looking for the key but it's not my turn
Hold your horses, smell the corpses
Who really knows of the hell we walk in?
One last choice to ease the torment
All you left behind was pain
You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Remember when I pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart
Remember when you took my soul
Remember when you spoke my name
Remember when I lost control and felt the burn of open flames
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs
You still haunt my dreams, remember what you did to me
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs
Remember when i pawned those things
Remember when I broke your heart

Off the Record
04:04

I came up, a strange pup since day one
Days of my youth, before music changed us
Remember innocence before the culture shifted
Remember being kids before the vultures sniffed it
All grown now how the times have changed
Its night and Day but the vibe remains
Catharsis, when I write the pain
If it was different, I wonder if I Might’ve stayed
Regardless, I look, back on my life
Yesterdays nostalgia a pad and a rhyme
Yesterday's mistakes, but a chance to learn
A chance to turn regrets to a fresh perspective
I've been to the land where the castle sat
I told em I'm a rapper..
They didn't want a bar of the that
Still ask where the party at
They say I'm isolated, I prefer far from whack
Off the record we're here for the vinyl
On the record, we're here for the vinyl
For the record, we're here for the vinyl
However you spìn it, we're here for the vinyl
Uh, still chillin up on my grind
Committed to the game, leaving nothing behind
But my best efforts, never been good enough for me
Progress not perfection, I gotta perfect the progress
the rap hustler, the track crusher
I heard you rhyme, you're whack and lacklustre
But ay, no stress I focus with slow steps
Keep the dream oh so clean and so fresh
Oh yes, I'm Codependent
I'll talk to the mic til it glows with embers
Flow stupendous, boast dope penmanship
And in the end, it only works if you work it
My due diligence, boosts limits of smooth dividends
Loose discipline infused with true living amends
Blood ink in this Primitive pen
The only insanity is that I did it again
Yo off the record we're here for the vinyl
On the record, we're here for the vinyl
Off the record, we're here for the vinyl
However you spìn it, we're here for the vinyl
Like it or not, I grab the mic and its hot
I fuse the raw elements of nitrogen bombs
My future foretold in books and four scrolls
look don't hold, what's the price to be young?
Split in 2, I'm beside myself
With tilted views and a vibe I felt
The shits the truth when it's all you know
When it's all you see, homie all you're shown
Goodness gracious, the hook took ages
'S a diseased mind and it looks contagious
Lyrical major spit flames from the undergrowth
Can't jade cadence when your boy spits the thunderflows
I got a ton of flows, got a ton of bros
Got a few peeps only seen at the summer shows
Hit the motherload and father the beat
I grip the paradox when it's hard to release
Yo off the record we're here for the vinyl
On the record, we're here for the vinyl
Off the record, we're here for the vinyl
However you spìn it, we're here for the vinyl

Hey yo, lights, camera Commander Primitive
The never ending Tim Tam Xander grandeur
Rhymes, medicine, that's what they fed us when
We stepped on the stage with the apes and pandas
Knock, knock let us in
Late for my etiquette
6 years later I'm still waiting on the precipice
The best of it is yet to come
They want measurements instead get sweat and blood
Breathe deeply, to flex the lungs
'Prim, we're running out of breath', here's an extra lung
Gimme a couple of cups and a Punnet of puns
So I can sift through the rubble with bunches of rubber gloves
Break the surface, underground emergence
The monkeys off my back, now the towns a circus
I urge peeps to proceed with caution
Flow still like water and I don't have to force it!
Hook
I feel aliiive when I’m this way x3
I live a lie every other single day.
Prim, blow the horn fam, sound the alarm
We buried all of the gems under a mountain of bars
Give us hand, while you're counting your cards
Or rock a stage down south with the ple-tho- rah
Xander- Check my repertoire I’m a reprobate
My reputation can’t replicate
When I represent all the rest repent
My breath is spent but it’s worth every cent
Yes, keep it fresh with the new shit
Out with the old gold, implement the blueprint
We do this for the love and the energy
Real life sucks but the rhymes are my remedy
Ride the melody we keeping it real
Came back to Emerald City after the city of steel
The crowd screams like a cricket appeal
(Both) Howzaat!
Now prim tell all how we feel.
I feel aliiive when I’m this way x3
I live a lie every other single day.

Keeping it hot

P R I M, aka Primitive
Beardcam, hip hop, certified lyricist
I keep it fresh, I'm not talking bout appearances
They wanna start up and won't take initiative
Fuckin ay, you can catch me on the b side
Heat live beats on that MPC vibe
SYD shine, under street lights
Catch me spitting live at the RTB nights
Wax and kicks, snares and cuts
When you step into the circle be prepared to bust
Fair enough, tear shit up
It's a different kind of beast making bears from pups
How can they be different when they're spitting the same .your albums as original as criminals And minimum wage
I got my pen and my page
My destiny's embraced every time when I step on the stage
Uh, and that's what's up
All the DJs in the club with the scratch n cuts
Uh, and that's what's up
When we step up in the spot, yeah we keeping it hot
Uh and that's what's up
Everybody in the place, if you're feeling it say ayyyy
Uh, And that's what's up.
When we step up in the spot, yeah we keeping it hot
The bar jerker, the hard worker
Half of these cats are rapping with no purpose
We all need at least one symbol of hope
It's hard to stay afloat in a miniature boat
My minds made up to remain indecisive
My rhyme paintbrush paints flames with the niceness
The hype shit, get em pumped for the night shift
Squeezing the blood from the stone with a tight fist
Crashed into pole position
When you know you fucked up but refuse to listen
It's like that, spit knowledge over tight raps
We building beats, I ain't talking bout the hi hats
I'm talking bout the positive change
From rock bottom to the space where the promises came
Pay hommage to the greats still rocking the stage
Ya Boi Primitive a fiend for them screaming my name
Uh, and that's what's up
All the DJs in the club with the scratch n cuts
Uh, and that's what's up
When we step up in the spot, yeah we keeping it hot
Uh and that's what's up
Everybody in the place, if you're feeling it say ayyyy
Uh, And that's what's up.
When we step up to the spot, yeah we keeping it hot
How many times you gonna remix a remix?
The dudes just unwell but people saying he's sick
Gee whiz, feed shit to these kids
Bro if youd have just asked, I would've given it
Pay the Piper, flames and vipers
Even the ring master can't Tame the tiger
The monkeys off ya back, but the circus in town
Haven't moved a muscle but we're working it out
Uh, theres not enough stones to throw
When a picture perfect house is a broken home
Naysayers, spray hatred, stay faceless
Turn back around and walk the 10 paces
A grave sight where I buried my thoughts
The grapevine ain't ripe like perish the thought
Edifice pause, cherish the incredible source
Even though it's odd, I settle the score
Uh, and that's what's up
All the DJs in the club with the scratch n cuts
Uh, and that's what's up
When we step up in the spot, yeah we keeping it hot
Uh and that's what's up
Everybody in the place, if you're feeling it say ayyyy
Uh, And that's what's up.
When we step up to the spot, yeah we keeping it hot

Uh, limited skills but all heart
Yes Primitive will give more bars
Raw bars, 3 course n sauce bars
Everything I ever let go has my claw marks
My War horse walks the spiritual path
With the inner critics voice and the outer critics laugh
I'll split a second just to break it in half
You'd really have to change your name to be making a Mark
Harr, have you seen this Behemoth?
Squeezing the life from a pipe of a demon
You can't sell those until the bell tolls
Haven't seen you before on the floor of this hellhole
Mouth velcro with a frozen tongue
I really thought you were the one with the golden tongue.
Hold the knife and insert in my back
These flat tyre fuckers still ain't worth jack
I was Broke as fuck
My empty heart now filled with hope and love
Music helps me cope enough
To open up, come spit it dope as fuck
Bite ya lips, brother hold ya tongue
You made your choice and I ain't the chosen one
I got resentments, with potential for more
The mental obession that shreds to the core
My credentials are expressed in my body of work
This is passion, break from monotonys curse
I never said i was the best, a lot could be worse
And when they open up the mic, ya boi just locks in a verse
Uh, affirm my affirmations
There's only one truth when you burn your affidavit
Fuckin ay, I've learnt from lack of patience
kind things in life are real acts of greatness
(There's a) place you go when all hope is gone
When the smoke starts to settle and your heart is torn
When consequence is too big to be ignored
It's what I make the music for
I was Broken cuz
My empty heart now filled with hope and love
Music helps me cope enough
To open up, come spit it dope as fuck
Prim, I mind less when I'm mindful
And write fresh when my minds full
I digress, stress brings out the best in me
It's like I'm living in my own damn legacy
Electricity to kill Leviathans
A war with juggernauts, fire to the frying pan
I'm on my grind again, pain is the catalyst
Otherwise i sink like the waves that hit a Battleship
Feel inadequate, i'm putting in work
Even when you're kicking goals, there's a foot in the dirt
All the people in my circle are all about love
About growth, when push comes to shove
But Don't blame me, Blame the ADD
My brains got a defect that wants to see me bleed
How do I stop the critic hating on me
Cause the real me just wants me to be free
I was Broke as fuck
My empty heart now filled with hope and love
Music helps me cope enough
To open up, come spit it dope as fuck
I was Broken cuz
My empty heart now filled with hope and love
Music helps me cope enough
To open up, come spit it dope as fuck

Slow
01:56
|

Prim, I'm still slow with the rhymes
Got a gold mine from the flows in my mind
Gotta hold tight for the shows they design
From the ill mind, chill and feel your pill high
The bills tight, local cats to Syd shine
So dope you can watch the flat lines still spike
You can find me playing at your local dive
Spitting vocal fire through the wires of the open mic
Evolved prototype, underneath the overbite
They ask me why I do it, I reply for the culture right
And I'm in for the Outsource
Throwing up my hands in the dance of a southpaw
Sticking to my guns, thumbs of an outlaw
Best I've ever been, then why the fuck I doubt more?
They spout war, claim that they're pacifists
No they're not my prisoners, they're just my passengers
I got the knack of it, pain of a masochist
Unpacking hazardous packed up Sacks of ishhh
..and it takes what it takes
Took what it took, look at me now
Well big whoop, big steps and big books
My mistake, I've mistaken you for someone who gives a fuck
But I'll bounce back, from the mouth of a mouse trap
The doubts I have, smashed like the pounce of a house cat
Don't you ever doubt rap, I'm down and about that
So far Underground the underground wants its ground back
We found cracks in the fabric of reality
Can't avoid the void when the void is a part of you
at the Carnival, chilling with the party party crew
While Ghost's in the machine making cuts hard as barnacles
I'm at the Rah Christmas bbq
With fresh tees, I'm lyrically stress free
Do they want more bars, hey Primitive yes please
Got more ink on my page than 3 of your best sleeves
The payload came before the say so
They labelled me an animal, yes the scapegoat
And yes the names known, consistently stay dope
Primitive on the mic unchained to raise hope

Don't cry
03:58
|

Don't cry, I know ya know why
It won't fly, at most it floats by
You're now witnessing dope beats and dope rhymes
Oh my, oh please at least try
Fresh heat, the lyrical technique
Syllables slice mics with Supaadry blessed beats
We rep hard, body and soul and rep deep
They've been sleeping on a brother, my brother they slept deep
Yes please, wear gloves it's red hot
Naysayers talking shit are dead wrong
They said what? Yeah fuck it I'm head strong
Leave your ego at the door when talking bout hip hop
Lets lift off, grass roots oz to Big Top
Underground one takes to breakin Kriss Kriss
Shits hot, humble enough to give props
And if not, why listen something you're sick of?
Skibbity doo bop, Lyrics are blue hot
They want me to foot the bill, well let me take my shoes off
Dudes lost all bark and no bite
Been hanging around ya neck like half a bow-tie
Bars are so fly, the flow is so dope
The beat is so sick, seriously no joke
This goes out to my bros that are so broke
For those who trust God and those with no hope
The bros who smoke cones, those with no homes
For those raised up by fathers who broke bones
Save your breath, I can judge myself
I find real strength when I ask for help
Fuck your criticism, I'm spittin the sicker rhythms
It's easy to be a victim cause we're all fucking victims
Don't cry, wipe cheeks on both sides
Grab life by the balls and look it in both eyes
Uh just make the time timeless
Was using half a brain, then remembered I was mindless
It's prime time for a Primitive fan
While half think Prime Time is a Primitive brand
Word to Hustle, word to Jimmy the Hand
Its usually pretty subtle in the spiritual land
Or in the land of the spiritual
Plans never pan out when demanding a miracle
They put conditions on unconditional love
Sittin home all alone with artisanal rugs
Check, I've been facing waves of Fixation
They say it takes time but wait I've been patient
Just feel the bass from the basement
Raps from the lab, pen and pad til I Shapeshift
Apex, brain waves gone ape shit
Til features rise up and I don't mean a facelift
Prim, lets infiltrate the underground
Simple in its essence but a weapon when it comes around
For me, Beneath the rubbles where the summits found
Coupled with the knowledge that our actions are what set us apart
Bars fresh and the dreams are big
It's never too far fetched in the scheme of things
The great motivator
The flow, is 2nd nature
The shows, are something greater
I go where it takes us
Best case keep on rockin the stage
Who knows the destination when the constant is change?
Spit flames in the heat of the moment
Keep on the grind finding meagre components
Composing composure, I've been living sober
Back with the fresh for the heads to step to
Don't cry, baby look on the brightside
Dont let em bring down, wipe your eyes on both sides

The Movement

Uh, this is the end of the tracklist
Beats slapped, then slaps turned to backfists
The fact is lotta rappers made the blacklist
My circle got smaller, I won't stand for whack shit
Access, raw power of Mammalian traits
Free men still slaving away
People hatin on the player just for playing the game
People play the same game and want the players to change
And this is bars for the archives
Bars for my heart to heal while the craft thrives
It's all for the love of the game
But the loud mouths are the ones with nothing to say
I'm on the Boulevard, crew full of movie stars
Like we give a fuck if some people don't know who we are
The crew got bars, the booth is lava
And its still all good: hakuna matatta
it's just the magic of the music
Close your eyes, vibe to a rapper spitting true shit
My pen and pad is the blueprint
This is for my people rising up with the movement
Up with the movement
Up with the movement
This is for my people keeping up with the movement
Who fuck with the old shit, fuck with the new shit
This is for my people keeping up with the movement
This shits ether, the shits fire
The beats lit, legitimate beast writer
Surgically splice cuts from royalty free risers
Murder the line up off the dome in the cypher
A perfectionist with imperfections
Watch the sleight hands giving misdirection
Watch the flight path coming in for the landing
Captain Primitive will remain standing
I'm pragmatic, and yes I'm back at it
A Grass-roots rapper with back to back classics
They're calling me savage, but I'm top of the food chain
Feel heat rise from the fire of new flames
And I just wanna make my mood change
Up and fly the coop but the truth is 2 faced
Too late? I've been right on time
I live for deadlines that's why I write on time
It's just the magic of the music
Close your eyes, vibe to a rapper spitting true shit
My pen and pad is the blueprint
This is for my people rising up with the movement
Up with the movement
Up with the movement
This is for my people keeping up with the movement
Who fuck with the old shit, fuck with the new shit
This is for my people keeping up with the movement
Uh, this shits Unorthodox
Some sets are train wrecks that we're forced to watch
I leave mics fucked up scorhin hot
And share warmth with my peeps where the torch belongs
Tight lipped, might rip the mic right
Grip it on the low to lift the night life
I let the light shine through grit and Tight rhymes
Definitely relevant elements like mine
You might find, me searching in the war chest
Looking gorgeous and right on your doorstep
I'm under pressure, under pressure I perform best
Word to Mighty Ash as we're stepping through the vortex
More or less hone blades to keep the sword fresh
Plugged in, in spite of the game being cordless
So fuck Jim, hold up and call Prim
Got a passion for my work, but rap I'm all in!
It's just the magic of the music
Close your eyes, vibe to a rapper spitting true shit
My pen and pad is the blueprint
This is for my people rising up with the movement
Up with the movement
Up with the movement
This is for my people keeping up with the movement
Who fuck with the old shit, fuck with the new shit
This is for my people keeping up with the movement

Yeah and we're back for another one
Lo fi beats in the heat of the summer sun
Throw em up as we're blowing up like bubblegum ::
Try to keep it humble while still hustling for number one
Well that's numero uno
The dude with the juice stepping into the booth yo
Gimme some loops and I'll tell you the truth
While I pass em in a metaphor yelling out Too Slow!
I let it go yet the ebb and flow settles slow
counting on the music like a motherfuckin metronome
This is Primitive, live from the terror dome
Let it be known, I'm heading for the red zone
All I needs a pad and a dream and my pen bro
Music to my ear as im slipping on my headphones
This is fresh yo, :straight from the kitchen
See what I've been cookings a reflection of the mission
Me and my girl eating Sushi
Feeling oh so boojie
keep it chill man we got this
Just watch me operate the chopsticks (X2)
Me and my girl eating Sushi
Feeling oh so boojie
keep it chill man we got this
Just watch me operate the chopsticks (X2)
We're out in china town in San Fran
All joy with soy sauce and eggplants
Peeps in headbands, jogging by the Bay
In another life, I'd probably have stayed
And I'm just trying to go with the flow
I don't need to be right, but I know what I know
I've grown how I've grown, through trials and tribulations
I find the reason to rhyme in the lines of these written pages
And inspirations are blind to the best intentions
They're questioning the answers without answering the questions
I try to keep an open mind
Though the focus lies on the shoulders of the old and wise
Close my eyes to the vultures who oppose that I'm approaching my prime...and I find
...it's darkest before dawn, the heartless are all formed, beg your pardon as the martyrs all attone in my mind
Me and my girl eating Sushi
Feeling oh so boojie
keep it chill man we got this
Just watch me operate the chopsticks (X2)
Me and my girl eating Sushi
Feeling oh so boojie
keep it chill man we got this
Just watch me operate the chopsticks (X2)
Pioneer on the final frontier
They try to smear my name but this lion gets the deer
I'd be lying if I said I didn't compare myself sometimes
2 things can be true at one time, cloudy days with sunshine
Unsigned, independent
Medicinal rhythm healer spitting introspection
Keep it simple and you'll simply keep it
Practice what you preach, they've been practising preaching
I got an appetite, for rappers that ain't rapping right
I gravitate to spaces that facilitate the smashing of mics
Try to break the ice and just relax
Bust raps, readjust so I can Crush these cats
Prim Aka the boom bap specialist
I'll like to thank my sponsors for the honours of the promises
like to thank my girl for the Sushi and adventures
I'd like to thank my crew for being fuckin legends!
Me and my girl eating Sushi
Feeling oh so boojie
keep it chill man we got this
Just watch me operate the chopsticks (X2)
Me and my girl eating Sushi
Feeling oh so boojie
keep it chill man we got this
