Mello Music Group - Self Sacrifice (2012)

http://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/album/self-sacrifice

Mello Music Group opens a new chamber of intelligent Hip-Hop that's not afraid to look into the void. In a time when too many use music merely as an escape, Self Sacrifice zeroes in with determination on the way we lead our lives. MMG has found the voices of our time that empower as well as entertain. The hard hitting production is reminiscent of forgotten realms yet breaks new ground, while combining masterful wordplay with clever cuts. Oddisee, Apollo Brown, and yU lead the MMG roster in redefining how and who music is made for. This isn't 1% rap, this is that real.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Oddisee]

I speak faster than I think, often

Times is hard for me to build with niggas

That get to talkin' like cheap plaster, awesome

Either I'm a deep bastard

Or as shallow as defeat

At the shore of the beach

Where you chill or you sink

After, sure, I got a lotta faults

But my lines ensure that I don't break apart

I've got a lotta bolts

A few screws loose

You gotta be a little crazy when you makin' art

See, risk-takers get a bigger piece of the pie

Them other guys get a peace sign and depart

Residin' in the dark

I'm here to outshine

Is y'all up on a nigga? Oh yeah

'Bout time, go ahead

I'm 'bout mine cause I bout with my mind

'Til out comes the prime

Example of a nigga that gamble the love of rhymes

And mixed up with the grind of a hustler in the park

Word to my pops

If y'all niggas in my way

I'm a motherfuckin' shark

And y'all niggas in my waves

I cut my braids

See me touchin' up my fade

A nigga sharp

I learned to play my part, cause I've been practicing my script

And as these bammers watch my flick

I hope they're practicin' their praise

Cause I'mma take the crown like nowish

With prowess like mine, you ain't gotta be afraid

I'm gettin' paid for my music, ain't that a blessin'

A lotta niggas never got the ball, interception

See, I was tall, so I had to power forward

Behind me's the sideline, and niggas outta breath and

I'm breathin' life into a game that I been playin'

It's no question, young, I been sayin'

That longevity is key and as I stand alone

My legs tired, I think I'll have a seat on the throne

[Hook: Sample (w/ Oddisee)]

Cause I'm rollin', I'm cruisin'

I'm groovin, I'm movin'

All too fast

(Let me slow it down)

All too fast

(Well let me slow it down)

Cause I'm rollin', I'm cruisin'

I'm groovin, I'm movin'

All too fast

(I slow it down)

All too fast

(Now let me slow it down)

[Verse 2: Oddisee]

Yeah

Oh, you wanna know which one I love more?

You or music?

I think that kind of question's stupid

Imagine choosin'

Between somethin' I'm producin'

And you, that's a win win to a loser losin'

I'd rather a twin, double you, girl

Lovin' you is like lovin' lootch

You my muse

Help me find a gem

Find a groove, like Sly and 'em

And if we don't work out, it's guaranteed I'll be dumpin' you

Cause you the prototype

I'd rather hold the microphone

Than let you spend another night alone

That sounds cold as Minnesota nights

But to get this money that we spend

I've gotta spend another night in Rome

Another tour, another stage, another flyer now

I'm on tour, accumulate the frequent flyer miles

Pick a destination, I'll take you to the top

From above the only time you can admire that

[Hook]
