lyrics

ON THE ONE!
LYRICS BY BILLY D WILLIAM

My momma says a man grows up thru heaven
I always say that it do
I felt the sting and poured it out through riddims
we put some stank on it too

(chorus)
I'm always told that it ain't what it was
that puts your struggle where they say that it does
I got $5 on your $10 if you think it's enough
I got the blvd tracking you down for my cut

I promise soul if only that you with it
man I'm portrayed in the thing
I can feel that, with every moment that we give em
before we say anything

(chorus)
I ain't no hustler but I'd gotten it done
Like Theo we be jammin straight on the one
I got that fire for your sun as you stand in the rays
I got the five winds calling your name for days

My father's son was born & notty headed
SEE-I as many do
I love the song before you got your man
I'll probably die in it too

(chorus)
I'm always told that it ain't what it was
that puts your struggle where they say that it does
I got $5 on your $10 if you think it's enough
I got the blvd tracking you down for my cut

Fake Flowers Real Dirt Baltimore, Maryland

In the steamy basement of an otherwise unremarkable house in Baltimore, "Fake Flowers Real Dirt" forges their mix of genres from the funk/dope characteristic (e.g. funk, hip-hop): driving skank reggae moves to frenetic breakbeat/jungle, joined together with a series of quick jazz changes. Simple melodic lines and hooks give way to solos, with space. ... more
