craftsmen - park like setting lyrics
[verse one: john smith]
our road brothers are bone crushers
stone cutters
so stubborn, there’s no budging or blown cover
heed the threats, a secret set
meets the flesh out, fresh mouth, weed on breath
you gotta get it down deeper as you be on deck
see john expect to see the rest of p.l.s
and who charts all the time? (that’s us, that’s us)
peanuts & corn, break bread (uh huh, uh huh)
that’s the right crew
i make sure before i tell these fakes for the last time, “i don’t like you”
i cycle
scope the text
rifle
rolodex, detailing the vitals
my night moves on top of tight grooves, y’all like to lose
and it’s softer than ripe fruit
gettin’ dated, we ain’t single, we’re dedicated
may mingle but take minutes for meditating
y’all play bingo trying to fill in the next line
while johnny’s hitting polly, strictly off of the head rhymes
of unknown dopes
smudge in your drink
smitty pulling out the stops like unplugging the sink
you can get snuffed in the alley or slugged in the rink
i’ve been around since before cam’my was f-cking with pink
so what’s cracking?
get it right you sc-m f-cks
you rapping?
you bet your life on a come up
imagine if your bread was right, that’s dumb luck
we craftsmen, we measure twice and cut once
[hook: john smith]
craftsmen
who wanna know, who’s askin’?
the main attraction of famous faction
from the fringe we invaded this rap sh-t
hit the stages, make the pay and bounce quick
platinum [?] wax yeah
blazing dats and razing tracks and that’s it
happy we led the life that some l-st
we craftsmen, we measure twice and cut once
[verse two: yy]
it’s a
small price
at all costs alright?
call us whatever you call “nice”
all else, sacrifice all else
that’s the life
the first thing you do it twice
we work the way to define
no need to date and a time
and each we save are combined with sheets of paper
i’m about to shape him a fine till we break the design
i don’t bite, i build a rhyme
with the fine sand
hundred grit
kinda hope
you got a fine hand before you spit the primer coat
[?] paint, show us how long you been in this
then you do another coat to give a nice finish
things used to be made better
acknowledge oldness
y’all didn’t need an apprentice
you call us [?]
our work ethic is solid gold, believe it
you don’t put this much time into something and just leave it
it’s like breathing
once you’re initiated
you turn your back on the craft you get asphyxiated
and the feeling don’t…p-ss
it’s a p-ssion
that’s the code of the craftsmen
you wanna learn, you don’t ask
what they know they don’t say ’em
they don’t trust someone with secrets if they might go and betray ’em
from the end of the work day to the edge of the a.m
got every two eared phony wanting to throw up their name
because we’re craftsmen
[hook]
[verse three: mcenroe]
i’m mike holmes when it comes to a beat
be on better homes and gardens, never mtv
you need
light tones and dry wit type poems
that i writ, locally owned [?]
and i spent
many moons as the apprentice
not the donald trump sh-t, stick to independence
need to have a blueprint to really build a sentence
cause a foundation ship means instant obsolescence
grand master beat maker, got my papers here
piling up the acres can’t escape my sphere
never trade my labor for a case of beer
this is top grade, made to make ’em make some fear
this is bars put together with some mortar and brick and your’s
better be clever cause i’m sorta particular
the foreman bound to make you tear it down, rebuild
solidify the ground and refill
and we still
be real leaders in the land of overk!ll
seen a million cheaters and we stand alone still
don’t fly by night while we finish the contract
they’re in and they’re out no contact
i give the new kids just two to live
pay for tutelage
and no way does it ever get lucrative
they’re part time suckers, it shows with every sale
break new ground while they ride the rail
we craftsmen
[hook]
