lyrics
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
