Going In; But It's Out Of Control PT.5

Going In!!  but the situation is out of control!! ear shattering gunshots exploded!! plus so called ISIS type revolutionaries will detonate any number of explosive devices...

Going in; oh!! we were all up in the spot but we had to roll out!! part of the evolutionary process!! plus we were overpaying prices!!

These days? during the ongoing spiritual warfare we put the hip hop soul out!! Sonic weaponry is used!! when going in?  improvised explosive devices are detonated!! 

These plays we run per Florida State / Jameis Winston? naw man!! snares, kick drums, bass or 808's!! the funk is demonstrated!!

These days per Florida State? jokers will shoot up the library!! another front for Spiritual warfare?  who went there, demons that hated? after issues are debated they'll get destroyed? 

Missouri said I'll show you!! I'll show you!! as the show me state declares martial law; what was it that the Marshall saw?  in Ferguson righteous soldiers are deployed..

Going in, but dealt with hatred;  it's hard to avoid!! it's everywhere!! per opposition to Obama and immigration!! check the situation!! but we'll get over it!!

Going in, we're in it now up to our necks!!  we see the situation is out of control!! It's real!! we can't fake it!! so O-Dizzle will take a beat and break it!! I use the sound to get over with...

Check the steady bombardment of the enemy position...that's a brotha's mission...

Like FARC rebels in Colombia we suddenly and deliberately attack!! please!!. we're on a mission!!

Back in the day? up in Louisville catching TARC #23 bus on Broadway!!  now rolling in hoopties down I-20 in Atlanta!! I  kept pushing like an Impression or even Curtis Mayfield!!

Not a pusherman like  he talked about;  not a hustla or playa!!  jackers were trolling as they stalked about!! it's out of control when they're playing the field..

CHECK OUT O-DOG'S GOING IN MIX!!

Chilling Out / Laying In The Cut / Minding and Tending PT.3

I'm chilling out...laying in the cut...taking old girls advice;  this dude is minding and tending. 

Dealing with the madness out here...not faking..keeping it real!! but it ain't nothing nice!!  I'm paying the price..now good word dropping and beat blending. 

It's rough / hectic out here for a player / pimp per Hustle and Flow..I had to combine concepts..so now were sending messages / subliminals in these songs. 

It's rough out here!! these hustlers know as these haters interrupt the flow!! knocking the hustle!! but we stay strong. 

Waiting in the dark? we didn't stay long..we kept it moving!! nobody was checking for us anyway. 

..unless charges are trumped up per citizenship questions by Donald Trump types..we know how they play. 

That's why we're minding and tending..ignoring Donald Sterling types..beats thumped up in the hooptie as we dip down I-20 in Atlanta.

City lights were blinding some per Stevie Wonder's living for the city..plus there's no pity from the street committee!! they don't understand a brotha. 

I'm on some "other other" ....I mentioned earlier "everybody ain't able"  per old girl. 

That's why I'm taking her advice... I'm minding and tending!! laying in the cut....chilling out as the drama unfurls.

Out in San Diego County the wildfires swirl...some are finding previews of how hell will be per Curtis Mayfield..or maybe the Lou Donaldson version... 

Unlike Carmen SanDiego there's no need to ask where I am...not out there playing the field...I'm minding and tending...that's how it's working... 

CHECK OUT THE O-DOG I'LL BE CHILLING MIX PT.1

They Had The Speed You Need



They were heard saying  “talk to me quick” ….study long and study wrong..it seems they had a need for speed!

You heard?  fast and furious like Paul Walker….wannabe Pusha Ts thought you had a need for weed.

Or maybe coke..jokers go for broke..fast and furious per Eric Holder?  names in the database / DEA or  NSA folder? was it  information overload?

Those that are curious moved at a high velocity…but with the speed you need ..but did they follow the street code?

Or were they furious? maybe similar to the “youts”  acting a fool up in Louisville?

I’m just curious..how cute is thuggery when keeping it revolutionary is the real deal?

I Made Them Raise Up

It was like shots were fired....or like Syria chemical weapons were used....I made those jokers raise up! 

Hazardous material when Sonic Assaults are unleashed? as I beseeched one...a corrupt ones days are up!

As we move on up per Curtis Mayfield; not up like Lamar Odom on drugs....there's spiritual significance in this operation! 

Plus I'm not an ATL player rocking Steve Maddens or Stacy Adams with taps click clacking on the surface...playing the field;  this is a different operation! 

...said a prayer; style  like Robert Mugabe?  somewhat belligerent in the operation per the fashion and thought police? 

They were rocking old school Afros...plus mullets like an old episode of Cops;  please! 

New schoolers / scholars rocked the dreads all the way down to their back!!  dudes swing them like they're a lady!

 Abdullah's hustle was knocked by the Feds;  they were rude! said his import / export business was shady! 

Slick Rick the ruler type hustlers said they rocked!! but their game was Shady like Grady!


They even tried to play me but I made them raise up!! Janet Jackson types asked them..what have you done for me lately?

Those who supposedly had the word lied to me!!  but their days are up!

Its not the The World's End...I knew the devil was oppossed to me...I made him and his advocates raise up...

Caught Up In The Drama / Suspense (But Lessons Are Taught )

Its business as usual; all up in the spot!! like US terror warnings in the Mideast...were caught up in the drama / suspense! 

As we deal with this;  some are bankrupt like Detroit...the apparatus had us coming and going!! check out the ongoing reign of terror for those who wonder whats up with this!!

Check the status...contracts are null and void.. the system is corrupt with this!! from Sanford Florida to the Fruitvale Station out in Oakland!

 That's per Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant; drama royalty aka kings and queens aka actresses and actors get an Oscar for that!! if they were able to get open! 

Whistle blowing like Edward Snowden now chilling in Russia!! but the system said thanks but no thanks!

 Whatcha knowing?  I even felt the pressure...but what you see is what you get!! that's per the Dramatics and Ron Banks!  

Whatcha knowing?  it is what it is somebody said!! but it stanks like the smoking Stankin Lankin aka old school Lincoln Continental thats burning oil over on Candler Road in Decatur Georgia! 

Whatcha knowing?  caught up in the drama and suspense!! lessons are taught...word from a Louisville / Newburg brotha chilling in Decatur Georgia! 

They said I act like I'm from here!! I told them Newburg and Decatur have the same swag or steelo! 

As we go there!! worldwide?  its still rough for a Negro! 

Checking out these earthlings...if there's a hell below?  were all gonna go;  that's per Curtis Mayfield!

Check out how I work things..I'm chilling out;  letting the hustlers hustle and the players play the field!

Carrying a shield with my sword of truth...I also had the sonic blackjack!

During the ongoing drama and suspense?  lessons are taught..check out how some will get what's coming to them;  the bad karma comes back!

I Was Telling Them…You’ll Get Played…


Gamblers were out for a fast buck…rolling like the White House…Fast and Furious?  its easy to get played!

I saw crooked  Bernie Madoff / Ezra Merkin types  dipping down I-20 in Atlanta in a fast truck..hows your luck?  now progress is delayed!

How’s  that working for you? now nerves are frayed…shot;  everybody’s stressed out due to the economy!

In Decatur..the Buick Regal swerves the block …one step ahead of the Dekalb Police…now the block is sprayed;  little homie said damn they’re on to me!

A hater was rolling with legal eagles down here in Georgia…they questioned him like Alex Trebek whose sick..hope he gets well…but some were sleeping with the enemy!

Politicians debate irrelevant issues….while the average citizen felt the pressure….some will test ya… fake ones even  try to befriend me!

The Progress Report


So whats really going on?  I’m caught in a moment of time;  whats the prognosis? 

As I analyze the information….running the race like Lance Armstrong…doping part of the transformation?  will I change methods to the madness;  how will I approach this?

The mothership was the mode of transportation. rolling like the asteroid 2012 LZ1….as I recognize the pattern; I might coach this another way..all up in this sport!

As a brotha gets scientific….I just got back from Pluto, Mars and Saturn;  so whats the progress report?

Caught In Traffic Behind The The Volvo Station Wagon

Rolling through the streets of Atlanta; progress was impeded by the Volvo Station Wagon! 

It had the soccer ball taped on the back of it; a suburbanite trying to get their swag on!

....Once spotted over in The Bluff trying to get their sack or bag on!! little homie had product for them....they're rolling like Canaanites or Israelites from back in the day! 

Who said I couldn't get my mind right to drop these insights? whose trying to call your bluff like Newt Gingrich?...as we continue to deal with matrix glitches...progress delayed by the Volvo Station Wagon!! also spotted Subaru Outbacks with bike racks on them; they're guaranteed to get in your way!

This traffic is off the chain in Atlanta!! whose acting brand new with ya? as we fight back!! we had to tell some we don't play this and that! 

Where did rolling with Herman Cain land a black conservative...who can they work with? whose acting brand new with ya?  attorneys played you like Conrad Murray..said they would appeal..but advised you not to say this and that! 

They even act like they knew a bruh!! you heard me?  they say I was shady like Russia's election...please be advised it "ain't nothing nice"

What route did you take? I-75? .....I-85? ....I-20? now your stuck in Atlanta traffic!! it'll make you think twice! 

Going all out? soon your subject to the authority!! a storm trooper down here in Georgia was just a fanatic that's ego tripping! 

Is this a hot mess or a hot style when I tell this story? actually I'm  just a Rider of The Storm like the Doors...plus it's breakbeat science that a Negro is flipping! 

Check the steelo; slipping and sliding through the portal!! but it's like a Blood or Crip gang initiation or a FAMU hazing...its like going through a gauntlet!

If theres a hell below were all gonna go!! word from Curtis Mayfield; so who fronted and flaunted? 

Hell? we caught!! but a suburbanite in the Volvo Station Wagon thinks its mamby pamby land! 

As we play the field;  jokers will get sonic assaulted with the blackjack..get back jack!! drama goes down like Virgina Tech..or like its Pakistan or Afghanistan!
