Until it Breaks First Verse (As seen live)

[Eventide]

What I hear (UPDATED):

This is all bringing people on the block to/ back down and rock to
Give you whatcha need like Papa/Who shot ya
Seperate the weak from the obsolete/ I creep hard on imposters
Switch styles on the dime/Quit winning y'all/Quit tripping now
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough so can you make your mind up?
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey man playing
With the big guns only get you slaying I ain't playing
I'm just saying / You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get it/We're rockin' it/All while you quill it in your hands
So shake shake down/Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank/I'ma play your bank take down
And no mistakes now/I'm coming to getcha
I'm a Banksy/You're a Brainwash, get the picture?/
It's like that

This is for the people on the block to/ back down and rock to
Give you whatcha need like Papa/Who shot ya?
Seperate the weak from the obsolete, the meek, I creep hard on imposters
Switch styles on the dime/Quick witted ya'll/Quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough so can you make your mind up,
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey man playing

I'm just saying / You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get ill and I deliver/While you quiver in your pants,
So shake shake down/Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank/I'ma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now/I'm coming to getcha
I'm a Banksy/You're a Brainwash, get the picture?/

'The meek' might be 'To me'?
And also it doesn't sound like he's sayin 'I creep' it sounds like an immediate crunchy sound like it starts with 'C', 'K' 'G'?
Otherwise very good if we get anything we can be completely confident in I'll update the first post...

[Derek]

Quiver in your pants means shaking in fear.

[Robot Man]

I fixed the bolded:

Separate the weak from the obsolete, to meek, I creep hard on imposters
Switch styles on the dime/Quick witted ya'll/Quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough so can you make your mind up,
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?

wonderful

[Derek]

Sorry but I don't agree with your first correction. It's very clear he's saying "This is for the" or "this is for my". "This is all bringing" doesn't even make grammatical sense.

[Robot Man]

I keep listening to it, and that's what it sounds like to me.

EDIT: Okay, now I'm hearing "This is all for your people".

Love that haha.

[Elaine]

Shouldn't the title be AS HEARD live?

[Xodus]

Mike's flow and verse sound great on this. It sounds like he went for a Biggie style flow in this one, which we've never heard from him. Love the Big Poppa and "Who Shot Ya" references.

[Arjun]

I fucking love it. cant wait to hear it.

[sasuke4545]

This is hardcore rap, why it is described as a ballad ?

[NotEnoughYetTooMuch]

This is hardcore rap, why it is described as a ballad ?

Maybe some parts, like the chorus are like a ballad, but it would be Awsome if it was completely rap, I'm sick of popular artists being passed off as hip-hop

[Calvin]

Shouldn't the title be AS HEARD live?

Yes. Yes it should. But it won't be. You've earned a for your observation though.

[Robot Man]

I corrected the lyrics after hearing Mike rap the verse again in Libson. Seems accurate now.

This is all for your people on the block to/blackout and rock to
Give you what you need like Papa/Who shot ya?
Separate the weak from the obsolete, to meek, I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime/Quick witted ya'll/Quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough/Sucker make your mind up,
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey man playing
With the big guns only get you slayed I ain't playing
I'm just saying / You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get ill if I deliver/While you quiver in your pants,
So shake shake down/Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank/I'ma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now/I'm coming to getcha
I'm a Banksy/You're a Brainwash, get the picture?/

[punkkidskater]

I'm pretty sure this is it because I keep hearing "muchacha". (which would make sense as he prefaces it with "papa")

This is all for your people on the block to/blackout and rock to
Give you what you need like Papa/Muchacha
Separate the weak from the obsolete to meek / I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime, quick witted / Ya'll quit tripping
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough/Sucker make your mind up
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang/Little monkey man playing
With the big guns only get you slayed / I ain't playing
I'm just saying / You ain't gotta sliver of a chance
I get ill if I deliver/While you quiver in your pants
So shake shake down/Money, here's the break down
You can play the bank/I'ma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now/I'm coming to getcha
I'm a Banksy/You're a Brainwash, get the picture?

[Spitz]

No, it's a reference to Biggie's "Who Shot Ya?". Not only is Poppa another nickname for him, "Who Shot Ya?" is also the b-side to "Big Poppa".
