Sit back, here’s a story just to listen to
Richard the MC, he’s the rapper dude
Born in 95, his life’s been a struggle
Unlike Harry Potter, he’s just a simple muggle
Been rappin’ since the age of thirteen
This album’s been a dream
Here we are, five years later
He’s built the skills, always getting’ greater
He’s been there, he’s dealt with all the haters
Now he’s ready to kill it
He’s aimin’ to go somewhere
So listen up, cause it’s all evident right here
Richard the MC, that’s who I be
Conception, let’s get it

The Heavy Chicagoan
01:12
|
|||
Born in Chicago, the heavy boy stands
A blue shirt on his chest, and a blue pair of pants
A smile on his face, with the skyline in the back
Bullied for his weight, man, isn’t that wack?
Happiness shows on the outside
Anger dwells very deep inside
Sadness as well
“Hey, fatty!” they would all yell
Frustration and depression lingers in his heart
Seven years old and he’d rather restart
Looking down, with a smile, as he’d stroll away
Letting the pain build up in the worst way
Continuing his day with a pseudo smile anyway
Yet years went on, and emotions ran deep
The anger built up, man, he felt it in his sleep
Sleepless nights with his mind left racing,
Insomnia intact with his feet left pacing
“How do I deal with this?”
“How do I live with this crap?”
Really unsure on how to truly react
Seventeen years old and the bullying’s gone down
Despite the decrease, it still hangs around
The anger and depression leads to a seldom frown
Fourteen years old, now he’s glad that he left that town

Killin' It
03:50
|
|||
The beat’s in my heart, the rhythm’s in my veins
Music’s all I need every time it rains
Layin’ down the words like I’m layin’ down my sheets
I step on all the verbs like I’m wearin’ spikey cleats
I’m a poet when I get behind a mic
Rappin every word ‘cause I know I do it right
Learnin’ all these words, increasin’ my vocabulary
Killin all these beats as I’m writin’ the obituary
Death is a theme I usually stay away from
But I’m leanin’ closer as I kick my bass drum
My heart beats faster every time I rhyme
I love the feelin I get when I’m spittin’ every line
Happiness is honestly an understatement
Ecstatic is better off used as a replacement
If it isn’t said already, this track’s already been smashed
Look at it like this, man, rap’s my other half
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand
Let me make a statement, yo, listen to my words
I’m killin this beat with every rhyme in every verse
And the lyrics are a curse
And I know I’m gonna make it
Never goin down, but I’ll act like I faked it
Not the Titanic but I’ll say that I saved it
Not Steve Jobs but I’ll say that I made it
Not a teacher but I’ll say that I’ll grade it
Killin’ this beat like I’m John Wayne Gacy
Conflictin’ all these rhymes, gettin’ you a little hazy
Step into my zone, if you think you are crazy
This track’s about to die like Optimus Prime
No word’s ever a lie, far from a waste of time
You wanna hear some more, man?
Come into my mind and figure out my plan
I’m almost done plottin’ this whole crime
Get out of my face, man, here’s a little dime
For wastin’ all your time
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand
“Here lies the beat of “Killin’ It”
He ain’t Michael Jackson cause he definitely did not Beat It
He’s surely not Weird Al cause he didn’t even Eat It
It wasn’t even oxygen, cause he didn’t need it
However, he does have one thing left to say
“I killed this goofy track, but it didn’t take a day”
Conception is this album that you currently choose to play
I always kill beats when you press that play button
This track was goin’ somewhere but now it’s turned to nothin’
I ran out of things to say, and my mind is turnin’ grey
This track’s deceased, so it’s obviously dead
It took all the lines comin’ from my head
My mind sees nothin’, nothin’ but red, and you can’t call me Fred
My voice isn’t higher than that kid
But I don’t increase like views of a vid
But now I must leave so I can stay hidden
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand
Killin all these beats cause I’m the rapper, man
Murderin the track cause you know I’m goin ham
Blood flyin everywhere, limbs are in the sand
Give me the mic, put it in my hand

03:18
|

Richard the MC
Gettin on the track
This one's called "Never Give Up"
Always keep your mind stuck where you want to be
Never give up, mayne
Yeah
Uh huh
Yo
Yo
Yo
Yo
Yeah
Uh huh
Never give up, that's what I say now
Stick to your dreams some how
Grind hard everyday
Never think it's ok
To just give up no matter what you say
Always grind and work hard
Aim and go far
Take control and drive your car
Cause only you can really change your life
I've made mistakes before, like cut with a knife
And no I'm never goin back
I've said it before, but it's one thing that I lack
And that's motivation but I'm not trippin
Cause here's one thing you're missin
Rap is my motivation so listen
Rappin's keepin me alive
No matter what you think, go ahead and dive
You got nothin to worry about
So bring it on, I take it as a challenge
Bring it, I'll reverse it like a door hinge
So yeah, I'm never backin down
Never givin up, that's what I say now
Never give up, I spit for myself
That's what I always do
Rappin solo cause I ain't got a crew
Quit playin games and tryna act cool
Or else you'll be a fool, yeah
I'm never givin up cause I've done it in my past
It's got me no where, it's not meant to last
And there's nothin I could ever do to take it back
But oh well I'm still racin on the track
I'm tryna reach the finish line
By that, I mean record a buncha tracks and put 'em up online
So I could release my emotions and use it as therapy
I'm far from a psychopath, so yeah, it's obviously there for me
But now it's time to switch up the beat
It means I'm changin, can't you hear it in the street?
Cause you know it's so true
There's nothing I could do
I'm changin for the best, no not you
Yeah I'ma keep goin, keep flowin
And I'ma never give up
I'm sick of failure, I wanna rise up
All the way to the stars
And that's the reason I stay spittin bars
Never give up, I spit for myself
That's what I always do
Rappin solo cause I ain't got a crew
Quit playin games and tryna act cool
Or else you'll be a fool, yeah
I'm takin this rap game a bit more serious
I'm never backin down, go ahead, think it's hilarious
But I will prove you wrong
With each and every song
Go ahead, I dare you to challenge me
I am mista Richard the MC
It's my new goal to spit a bit more
Cause I'm comin straight through the door
And I'm makin my entrance a bit more serious
Like I said, I'm becomin a lot more serious
But now it's time to chill and relax
Ain't trippin about money cause I ain't worried about stacks
Cause rap brings me more happiness than money
Go ahead and think it's funny
Cause, like I said, I'ma never give up
Cause I'm climbin the ladder of success
I'm not trippin cause one day I will be the best
Never give up, I spit for myself
That's what I always do
Rappin solo cause I ain't got a crew
Quit playin games and tryna act cool
Or else you'll be a fool, yeah

Baby Girl
02:44
|
|||
Have you ever felt like you messed up so bad?
The girl you're with now, she's the best you ever had
You refuse to let go and you just want her to know
Everything you been though was fa sho
She's all you need, "that's what ya gotta know"
Say that to her and show that you care
Tell her you're willing to take another dare
To show how much she means to you
Do everything, do what you gotta do
Show her what she means
Don't treat her like shit, don't beg with pleas
Don't buy a diamond ring, don't even try onion rings
Cause it may sound silly, but it just might work
Give it a shot, go pay the shopping clerk
Take her out to dinner, and pay for her drink
Don't let her go to waste like the water in a sink
Baby girl, I love you and this is my plan
To get you back
I'ma always work hard, never back down
I mean it, man, because I never clown
Ok, I see what you mean
Number one, treat her like a queen
Number two, don't spend a lot of money
Number three, don't lie to act funny
Yeah, I see I'm drawin in closer
Please help me off this roller coaster
Yeah, I don't really know where it's goin
It turned into a boat and now it's rowin
Yeah, I'm so confused, I don't know what to do
I love this girl, and I wanna fix the pieces
Still, I'm chopped and screwed like reeces pieces,
But I
I think I got a plan, but please confirm
Don't girls like eatin a worm?
On second though, no, that sounds gross
Please, let's go back to another flow
Baby girl, I love you and this is my plan
To get you back
I'ma always work hard, never back down
I mean it, man, because I never clown
Yeah, I'ma work hard for this girl
I love her, so I'ma give her my world
I'ma always be there for her
No one can replace the things I'd do
Babe, I'll do anything just for you
You know it's true
Just stay here with me, that's all I ask
Anything for you, I'll never pass
Want a drink? Lemme get a glass
Let me be right back, please don't pass
You know I'd do anything just for you
No matter what you do
I got your back
Uh, yeah, that's so very true
I love you, there's no other way put it
So please listen up, I'ma say it somehow
Well I said it already but especially now
Baby girl, I love you and this is my plan
To get you back
I'ma always work hard, never back down
I mean it, man, because I never clown
Baby girl, I love you and this is my plan
To get you back
I'ma always work hard, never back down
I mean it, man, because I never clown

Love Song
02:08
|
|||
Girl, we dated for a real long time
A few fights happened, fucked up the grind
But the weird thing is, I still got love for you
Why won’t you see that everything I do
Is dedicated to you?
Yeah, girl, you know it’s true
I just want you back, that’s all I gotta say
Each and every day you never seem happay
Wassup with that? I think it’s wack
But then again, it seems like a lot to say on a track
The true thing is, you do deserve better
Come on back, girl, no matter the weather
In fact, the wetter the better
Cause, honestly, I wanna fix your pain
I was the cause of it before but never a-gain
I promise to be a better man than before
I want you, not some dumb whore
So whatcha waitin’ for? You, I adore
Girl you had me
But then you chose to leave
Now you livin’ sad
Your new boo ain’t the best
Yet you’re still sad
I’m standin’ here waitin’
Not getting mad
Come back and then be glad
“I love you” that’s what you wrote on this page
Every single day I’m always gettin’ in a rage
When I’m not with you
I love you baby girl, you are my boo
Think about that
Think about the memories we had
Do they haunt you? Do they creep you?
Cause you know they’re gonna beat you
Not literally, but listen and see
I truly think we’re meant to be
But you’re with that other guy
Possibly thinkin’ about me, time after time
What are you afraid of?
What else must I prove?
I think I’ve said everything
What else must I do?
So please listen up, lemme say something’
I gotta say it now, cause, no, I’m not bluffin’
I mean it, baby girl, you do mean somethin’
Come back to my arms, please start runnin’
You own my heart, you’re the one I’m lovin’
Girl you had me
But then you chose to leave
Now you livin’ sad
Your new boo ain’t the best
Yet you’re still sad
I’m standin’ here waitin’
Not getting mad
Come back and then be glad

I Neglected You
03:27
|
|||
Took advantage of a few
But I never really knew
How it would change ahead
But it’s comin’ in red
And I don’t know if my life is truly dead
I made a lot of mistakes that you didn’t even see
Thinkin’ about it now, it’s actually killin’ me
But you’re in heaven, I don’t need to say a thing
Just accept this apology as a simple note from me
I’m thinkin’ about all the times we had
Sometimes I even think of you as my dad
You can’t even change that
But, yeah, it’s rad
I just want you to know one thing
Thank you for savin’ me through thick and thin
It’s been three years, gotta wear a grin
Gotta look back at the times we had
I can’t even change that
But, yeah, you got my back
I neglected you, when you always cared
I neglected you, when you were always there
I neglected you, but it’s too late to see that
I neglected you now you’re not there for me
I neglected you and you didn’t really care
You loved me unconditionally, never even stared
But the sad thing is, I can’t live with that
I can’t really stand knowin’ I abused that
The thing is, you’re deep inside my heart
I always look back at the day I call the start
I wanna go back to that time
To tell myself, “don’t mess up your mind”
“You gonna regret that one day”
You know what? I don’t know what to say
When I’m spittin’ on this track
I just wanna go back to my wrong
And take it back
And spit about it on another song
But I’m losin’ my train of thought
I just wanna go back to the start
And never abuse the people like I have
Please forgive me, take me back?
I neglected you, when you always cared
I neglected you, when you were always there
I neglected you, but it’s too late to see that
I neglected you now you’re not there for me
Sometimes life turns to absolute shit
But if you have hope
And you stay strong
It’s all gonna be ok
Trust me
Listen up
This is my apology for those who I have hurt
I wanna take it back, like suicide to Kurt
I have brought a lot pain
And in the past it was a game
And my life will never ever be the same
So I must live up to all of my mistakes
And the pain is simply just way too much to handle
I gotta decrease the hump, alas I’m not a camel
But even so, I gotta stay strong
Everyone’s forgiven me, even for my wrong
But just know the pain is still there
And I don’t expect to hear an “I don’t care”
Because I do and it’s never goin’ away
That’s the end of this track, man
I don’t know what else to say
But I still got four bars to kill
That’s the end of death, cause I’ma live still
So listen close, homie, cause goodness is for real
And no, that’s not a steal
I neglected you, when you always cared
I neglected you, when you were always there
I neglected you, but it’s too late to see that
I neglected you now you’re not there for me

Rock or Rap
03:57
|
|||
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
When I hear kick, when I hear snare
My heart pounds like truth or dare
And I don’t really care
Cause I got the rhythm up inside my veins
Genre doesn’t matter, the beat is insane
Simple or not, it’s still gonna knock
A knock on my door with the bass on the floor
Heads bobbin’ up and down
Smiles, no frowns, even though I look like a clown
Even though I’m messin’ around
Hats, crash, ride, toms, bass, snare
The drums lead the rhythm of the song
Don’t play off time cause then you’ll get it wrong
The rhythm is what motivates me to flow
Without the drums, I’d have nothing below
Even though I go, drums are all I know,
Rock or rap? I don’t even know
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
Am I a rock star without a guitar?
Or am I a rapper without candy?
I don’t even know cause I cannot even see
The genre’s so mixed, so very confusing
I don’t really know if this is rap
Or is it rock? You tell me
My mind’s mixed up, I cannot really see
All I know is the rhythm’s in my deep
I feel the bass, clap, hats
Stayin’ underground makin’ no cash
Wishin’ I could do this rap thing for a living
But no one’s payin’ stacks
I’m sick of all that trash
Find the real talent with the beats
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s me
I know I can flow
What else must I show?
How long must I wait without makin’ cash?
Cause they’re takin’ all my dough
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
Rock or rap, man, the genre doesn’t matter
It’s the rhythm gettin’ fatter
And also crazier and badder
Gimme a thick bass
Gimme a thick kick
Give me a drum stick
And also a snare
This beat is insane
It’s stuck in my brain
I cannot flow without goin’ crazy
Please don’t call me lazy
Cause I wrote and produced this track
It ain’t even wack and I ain’t turn my back
So no, I ain’t gonna leave the game
Rap, drums, rhythm is the way I live
It’s the air I need to give to the world
So I’ma always gonna produce the tracks
The rap game’s me, I need it to breath
Too far in for me to leave
So listen to my words
So you can conceive everything
I need to be me
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head
I am a rapper but I’m never dead
Also a drummer as I bang the drum head
Rap is alive, man, cause I’m never dead
Head bangin’ up and down with my head

Dreams
04:23

Stayin' at these dreams cause they always on my mind
Never givin' up cause I always choose to grind
I got that good life and you ain't never gonna take that
If you try to knock me down then homie stand back
I ain't never givin' up cause that's who I am
Spittin' these flows, that's my master plan
Go ahead and try, but you never gonna win, man
And I mean it now, so what the heck, damn
Never gonna win cause I was meant to flow
I do it all the time, never ever waste my mind
I got a purpose in the world and yes it is to grind
Beat maker, flow-er, audio engineer, and snowblower
Cuttin' all the words, masterin' my craft
Record in one take, it takes one draft
I gotta kill it now when I spit another track
Spittin' my flows like it ain't even wack
I'm growin' up constantly, but when will you see
that the world needs someone like me?
And it's never gonna change
I got a new flow, whip out a new page
And I gotta get back to what I meant to say
Stick to the rappin, stick to the dream
Always work hard and make yourself succeed
Never give up cause it is a dream
I mean it, dog, don't make me scream
Stayin' at these dreams cause they always on my mind
Never givin' up cause I always choose to grind
I got that good life and you ain't never gonna take that
If you try to knock me down then homie stand back
I ain't never givin' up cause that's who I am
Spittin' these flows, that's my master plan
Go ahead and try, but you never gonna win, man
And I mean it now, so what the heck, damn
I got a good life, I can't ask for more
Materialistic things won't open the door
Instead, they'd take up space on the floor
And I don't need that, I got enough as it is
All my music stuff, enough for the biz
I gotta spit flows like I don't even know
Releasin' new flows with time to grow
I needa increase my inspiration
Need new tracks on Reverbnation
But I'm not really trippin' cause I know I'ma make it
I'm like a cake risin' like I baked it
I'm far from bein late like belated
I'm growin up often cause I made it
Time to keep flowin and release a tape
Make more beats cause I'm great
Need to make flows, keepin' me up late
I'm like a fish, man, with beats bein bait
And, yes, they are great
Stayin' at these dreams cause they always on my mind
Never givin' up cause I always choose to grind
I got that good life and you ain't never gonna take that
If you try to knock me down then homie stand back
I ain't never givin' up cause that's who I am
Spittin' these flows, that's my master plan
Go ahead and try, but you never gonna win, man
And I mean it now, so what the heck, damn
Can't knock me down like I'm on a balance beam
I got my own life, got my own dreams
Can't do nothin, can't even scream
Can't change nothin, not a thing
I'ma do me, you go do you
Nothin will change me, nothin you do
I like my life the way it is
I float in the air like soda fizz
And it's never gonna change
I'ma motivator like Tyra Banks
I'ma keep it up, stayin in the game
It's all gonna be the same
I don't wanna change that
Cause I know I'ma sick cat
I'ma never dip and yall better know that
So ya better remember the name
Richard the MC, it's all the same
Never gonna leave hip hop cause it is my game
Stayin' at these dreams cause they always on my mind
Never givin' up cause I always choose to grind
I got that good life and you ain't never gonna take that
If you try to knock me down then homie stand back
I ain't never givin' up cause that's who I am
Spittin' these flows, that's my master plan
Go ahead and try, but you never gonna win, man
And I mean it now, so what the heck, damn

Dark Life
04:23
|
|||
Life is such a crazy thing to ever live through
Insanity and challenges, so many things to do
If it was up to me, I’d never do a thing
Livin’ life’s crazy but I still do something
Goin’ to school, just searchin’ for the good grades
Some call me cool, and some call me lame
Doin’ this rap thing just to make a name
I mostly want happiness, but I also want fame
I lived feelin’ like I was in the back seat
Never been important, I felt like nothing
Life’s made me win, life’s made me fail
It’s the reason I’m steady rappin’ this tale
But one thing’s for sure, I can never give up
I’m aimin’ for the stars as I always go up
Verse one is done, so farewell everyone
I’ll be back soon like I’m a cartoon
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply cause I’m meant to do it right
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply because I’m meant to do it right
Elementary school is probably the craziest
That was back when I was laziest
Never ever wanted to do a thing
Give me a sec to describe what I mean
I always failed reading cause I never read a book
Everyone taunted me based off how I look
I was overweight, I cleared off my plate
That’s one thing I will always hate
Even so, I miss bein’ eight
And then a few years passed
Nothin’s meant to last
Everything was crazy, ever so strange
Everything I knew simply had to change
Happiness went down the drain
Lost a house, it’ll never be the same
Survived in the coldness
Felt like the homeless
Lived in an attic for a few months
Then it turned to too much
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply cause I’m meant to do it right
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply because I’m meant to do it right
Even the thunder can never knock me down
Always standin’ up, yeah, you better not clown
Despite all the challenges, I’ve only gotten stronger
Goals in my head are meant to last longer
Survived high school for the past three years
Yeah, I’ve broke down, a face full of tears
A mental facility has brought me no fear
Suicide’s made my life more clear
The suicide attempts were done out of impulse
Therapy appointments made to prove me false
Never kill yourself, that’ll never solve a problem
Razors ain’t medicine, you’re better off without ‘em
I’m in my senior year, I gotta live strong
Reachin’ for the A’s, I can’t be wrong
Spittin’ new flows in every song
Time it up right cause it can’t be too long
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply cause I’m meant to do it right
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply because I’m meant to do it right
I don’t really know what lies ahead
My head’s in the green, away from the red
I’ve lived everything that I’ve ever said
Despite the attempts, I’m happy I ain’t dead
Things in my future I don’t even see
Rapper, accountant, or computer geek
I’m not really sure which one is me
As of now, I am all three
Studying the business to learn a thing or two
How much can I learn, man, what can I do?
As of now, enough to get me through
Rappin’s for me, I don’t know about you
Bein’ a computer geek is how I made this track
Accounting manages the things I lack
Working so hard, not tryin’ to break my back
Hopin’ for the money, a bill in the sack
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply cause I’m meant to do it right
Better step back cause I’m never ever done
If I was you, homie, yeah, I’d rather run
I’m never gonna give up in the dark life
Simply because I’m meant to do it right

Hit the Stage
02:14
|

Hit the stage, man, that’s what I gotta do
Hit the stage, I’ll perform for you
Hit the stage, gotta spit all these bars
Hit the stage, it can’t too hard
Hit the stage, man, that’s what I gotta do
Hit the stage, I’ll perform for you
Hit the stage, gotta spit all these bars
Hit the stage, it can’t too hard
I wake up one day and I check my email
I see a message, and it says “Hello”
I read a few words, way down below
They ask if I want to do a show
So I think about it and I say yeah
I email them back, askin’, “what must I do?”
“Just spread the word, buy a ticket or two”
So the confirmation goes through
A couple days later, I get an email
Containing all the details
So I start promoting, aimin’ for sales
Hopin that this train doesn’t derail
And the boat makes it as it sails
So I continue doin’ what I do
I finished the album, Conception
So I can plan number two
And I startin rehearsin’ the tracks as well
I gotta be great when I hear that bell
Hit the stage, man, that’s what I gotta do
Hit the stage, I’ll perform for you
Hit the stage, gotta spit all these bars
Hit the stage, it can’t too hard
Hit the stage, man, that’s what I gotta do
Hit the stage, I’ll perform for you
Hit the stage, gotta spit all these bars
Hit the stage, it can’t too hard
I hit the stage, ready to perform
The beat drops, and I’m out of my norm
I’m not who I used to be, I’m Richard the MC
So I start spittin’ all my lines
The beat and the flow intertwines
I’m releasin’ awesomeness as I’m on the stage
I’m rappin every word that’s on the lyric page
My lines drop bombs like attackers in a rage
I guess you can say I’m just a rat in a cage
I’m the incredible hulk every time I’m killin raps
Try to get me though I can’t swim laps
Hittin’ the stage like today is my last
I gotta get it all right, I can’t be too fast
I gotta get it now so my time can still last
I gotta win it now, so I can just pass
Instead of doin’ nothing, gotta use all the gas
Hit the stage, man, that’s what I gotta do
Hit the stage, I’ll perform for you
Hit the stage, gotta spit all these bars
Hit the stage, it can’t too hard

Business Accounting Song

Yo...
Richard the MC!
Car washes cleanin' cars everyday
Landscapin makin my house not look lame
Garbage men cleanin all the trash
Repair shops fixin the big stash
Police men catchin all the criminals
Plumbers, yeah, they are literal
Technicians usin all sorts of technology
Public works cleanin up the neighborhood for free
Room service bringin me the food
Maids at hotels cleanin up the rooms
Restaurants makin me a meal
Goin to school cause knowledge is a steal
Salons fixin my hair
Artists create work like they don't care
Pilots flyin people in the air
Janitors cleanin up the stairs
Firemen burnin down the fires
Truck drivers spinnin all their tires
Limo drivers doin the same
Tour guides announcin my name
Bus drivers drivin people around town
Athletes always happy, never wear a frown
Tattoo artists makin ink pictures
Hospitals savin lotsa victims
Delivery men deliverin you things
Cab drivers drive, not fly with wings
Lumber jacks cutting down trees
Therapists talkin to people to fix their emotions
Social workers also help by usin potions
Accountants managing my money
Animal control protectin animals from dyin
And thats the end of my serivce, so now I'm done rhymin

Yo
Richard the MC on the beat
But I'm kilin the track too!
Haha! [Yeah!]
Spittin all day, that's my master plan
Up in the club cause I am the man
You can't turn me down
Rippin the beat, flip it like a frown
Don't get it wrong I'm spittin on the song
Can't hear a gong but I see another thong
Gettin on the beat and I'm flowin so sick
Up in the club, spittin a hit
Richard the MC, that's the name I am
Sippin patron, gettin fuck up, man
Got a chick in front, got a chick in back
Don't know shit, who is Jack?
I look down at the shirt I wear
I'm so confused, all I do is stare
I'm drunk as fuck, so I don't care
Ha ha ha, I'm in the club
You over there, you got some bud?
Gimme a hit, go take a shit
Just don't play with it
Cause you know that's what I do
When I'm in the club with you
I'm gettin so fucked up, dude
What else is there for us to do?
Up in the club just sippin some brew
Bitches all over, what do I do?
I don't care, champagne in the air
Bubbles, sizzles, all that shit
Here's a bong, take a hit
If you ain't ready, you better walk steady
Alcoholics Anonymous ain't got shit on us
We drink all day, smoke on the bus
Gettin fucked up in every town
We're like Jersey Shore, gettin around
Me and my crew, gettin down
Gettin fucked up to the beat of the sound
Ha ha ha, you know us
Even fucked up, we won't put up a fuss
So come on dog, beer is a must
Get on down before I lose trust
Just dipped out the club
Got too fucked up
Vomit, spills, everywhere
Bring another beer, I'll take a dare
On second thought, I take that back
Smoking, drinking, that shit is wack
Ha ha ha you know that's true
What else must I do?
I'm fuckin up my life
What will I do without a wife?
Hell yeah, I'm not doin that
I'm a sick MC, I refuse to be wack
That's why I say this shit on a track
Why you fuckin up your life?
This shit's like suicide minus a knife
Why you wanna kill yourself for?
Don't degrade yourself like a silly white trash whore
Yeah
Why not listen to me the first time?
Why waste my energy while I grind?
I'm busy, I'm rollin, and I'm controllin
The things around me
Why can't you just see
It's easier bein drug free
Stay away from all the substances, stay away from the weed
It's a lot easier bein freed
Just don't drink, just don't smoke
It prevents you from bein broke
Ha ha ha, you know it's true
Why else would I say this, dude?
Take my word, take my advice
It's not worth puttin up the fight
So you can lose with all your might?
I'm done with this track so I say good night

Outta This World
03:03
|

I am deceased… therefore… I am… outta this world!
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world like I’m high on LSD
I’m just a ghost, one you can’t see
ET is not who I meant to be
But like I said before, I’m dead, so I cannot see
But this life is crazy, son, you best believe
You are not born, soon you will conceive
And then you will see everything is make believe
The mic, the page, the trees
All results of a viral disease
You cannot see everything you think
Everything’s gross, the air, it stinks
Fillin’ up lives like we’re fillin’ up sinks
Fillin’ up the bottles with the H2O
Collect it all together so it can just go
Down to the landfill, where it lies half asleep
I would stand still, but the land is too steep
So now I leave cause…
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
Call me little green dude cause I’m an alien
I can do wrong and never call it sin
If you were me, you’d always wear a grin
Kinda thick, like Homer Simpson
I can go anywhere when I spit a flow
Globalize the track so everyone can know
If it were up to me, I’d never have to go
But now I gotta speed up so I can kill this track
Everyone knows that my shit ain’t even wack
But I ain’t doin’ that, so I’m sick of all the trash
Clean up this shit, man, get up off your ass
Fuck your little kid shit, stayin’ on earth, bitch
I’ma leave the earth like Armstrong did
Go up to the moon, make a vid
Go on eBay, make a bid
Go to my girl, make a kid
Cause I’m
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world like the end of this track (track)
I ain’t doin’ that (that) if you’re goin’ back (back)
If you’re talkin smack (smack) quit doin’ that (that)
Outta this world like the leader of the pack (pack)
But I gotta quit the flow so I can go home
Left the Earth for a minute but I forgot Joe
How did I not know I was leavin’ Joe alone?
He ain’t even a dog, but I forgot the dog a bone
I’m leavin’ the track cause I’m so bored
Goin’ home to my broken door
Cause I’m just a lazy bum, just sleepin’ on the floor
Without a dollar, man, without a fuckin’ whore
But forget my constant whinin’, cause I’m done spittin’ trash (trash)
Gotta work hard to earn that dope cash (cash)
But I ain’t doin’ that (that)
So I’m leavin’ this beat on the really shitty street
Cause I’m sick of my feet and got nothin’ to eat so I’m
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
I’m outta this world, son (Outta this world)
