    What's your favorite song from these guys? I have not listened in a while but have a bunch this last week.

    Christmas Miracle might just be on top for me. Soooo good


    That was me in BK on Atlantic
    Never looked both ways, ran in traffic
    Pops went away but I stayed, vagrant
    Placed where the steel and cement became nature
    Love what you did with the place, it looks gorgeous
    Cityscape where the blood of good men courses
    And the dreamers are bull trapped in porcelain
    Take a knee to the gods and get horse ****
    Wanna live for the thrill? They'll arrange it
    Got a bevy of imps to spit hatred
    ****'ll get in your head and cause panic
    Have you desperately begging to get famous
    Get your dignity dirty and left orphaned
    Sanity on the fringe of distorted
    Who are they to just take **** and hoard it?
    Who am I that I don't get my portion?
    The most impressionable minds
    Get molested and informed by manipulating forces
    Don't fret, little man, don't cry
    They can never take the energy inside you were born with
    Knowing that, understand you could never be poor
    You already won the war, you were born rich
    You can only take the energy you had
    Going back to the realm or the home where your Lord is
    Whoever, whatever that Lord is
    Couldn't give a **** if you ever made fortunes
    **** anyone ever tryin' to run that bum ****
    Send 'em to the flames where the orcs live
    Them and the lost minds thinking they're smarter than us
    Don't understand love's importance
    And we can weaponize that, bring 'em back to the truth
    Where the ashes and dust got formed in
    The beat breaks and your teeth break
    Keep your canines embedded in my knuckles as a keepsake
    It would seem your veneers just mere souvenirs
    Falling out your mouth and on to the landscape
    Me and El-P do the secret handshake
    Then I pummel punch a pumpkin head punk in his pimple face
    'Til he's punch drunk 'cause he's sweet as a pound cake
    (Ain't he p***y, Mike?) Yeah, El, I'll say
    Into the wild, wild style ghetto child running wild
    Where the lions and the owls stay
    The powers that be even offered up reprieves
    Told us they ain't take us out if we bow to our knees
    But they can give that to the kings and the queens
    And the worshipers of idols and followers of things
    'Cause I would rather be in the jungle with the savages
    It's kill or be killed, and I'm working with the averages
    My professor emeritus
    Say we been cursed being brought to the AmeriKKKas
    How you raise a whole human single parent
    No marriages, no sense of heritage?
    Planned Parenthood helping plan miscarriages
    But I'm lucky mommy already had a narrative
    Product of a teenage love, my arrogance
    Derives from the pride in the job my parents did
    Named Mike, I was told it was godlike
    Even danced with the devil, came out alright
    Okay, honor y'all? No way
    Still spell AmeriKKKa with the triple K
    Word up to Spice 1 and O'Shea
    And any MC peeping what I go through
    Real rap, my last line's so true
    Rest in peace to Pimp C and Camu, too
    We do it for you
