I Told Them; I'm Good!! PT.2

 Whats the deal?  please!! I heard what was said.. I had to tell a joker I'm good!

 I didn't want what they had for sale!! like Al Qaeda leaders jokers were plotting and scheming...plus they can probably tell I'm hood! 

...plus these systems aren't fail safe!! I told them its gotta be good or I would be at the service desk!

...plus I didn't tailgate at hell's gate even though football season is here!!  The Cowboys beat the Dolphins...whats up son? check the grey area scenarios..is it due to the deliberate falsehood?  please!! check these clearance rack epiphanies..I'm at your service with this! 

Jokers hate;  acting false in the hood....interference like NFL cornerbacks?

Brokers debate;  whats the relevance? whats  true or false?  whats good?  pass or fail?  like up in Louisville were chilling on the corner;  were back!

Damn!! We're Still Subject To The Authority?

Thought and fashion police were posted up like Dekalb County police on I-20 in Atlanta...soon were subject to the authority! 

Caught up the system / matrix; these jokers fake it... its like Dallas and JR Ewing; were dealing with the drama royalty! 

Drama kings and queens do their things!! like Phil Jackson calling the New York Knicks clumsy....no loyalty is shown....its all about money, power, and respect! 

.....At least that's what they say;  but at the end of the day they even get played by these gamblers out for a fast buck!! but what did they expect? 

Meanwhile O-Zone is cashing reality checks; O-Dizzle makes sound effects...the drums will be the determining factor...as alter egos combine;  a dynamic duo! 

A dynamic duo like Durant and Westbrooks?  please..were in the middle of it...there's no rest for us so called crooks...danger zone residents were universal; from altered Negroes here in the ATL to extraterrestrials out beyond Mars and Pluto! 

They let me know what it do; so like the old school baptist preacher said I govern myself accordingly! 

Earthlings were tripping; even in Syria The UN stopped monitoring;  down here in Atlanta so called authority figures tried to tell me where the boundary or border will be! 

Check out how we work things;  the sound will determine things..the four track recorder will be jumping! 

Check out how we work things; like Tiger Woods..were trying to come back... blue collar style!!  like the middle of the week were humping! 

So called authority figures were stumping the masses...its tight in these hoods....now some of my peeps are waiting for answers!

In this hostile territory they're waiting in the dark; word from Wayne Shorter..society is hating on these Native Dancers!

How will the quiz be? what's it like? ignored those trying to test!! going too far like South Park? just trying to hurt it.

Quized by authorities!! might get a six game suspension like Big Ben..others start snitching!! blurting it out!! the answer.

I lived in these territories..but intergalactic..listening to Wayne Shorter's Native Dancer.

As I tell these stories to those waiting for answers!! that time reveals like Debarge.

As I tell these stories to those hating!! sick like cancer!! ill like a boot camp sarge.

As we barge all up in the spot!! going postal!! putting a stamp on this letter I'm writing.

Whose in charge? my folk are under lock and key!! who clamped down on them? going crazy like McAfee antivirus!! but some say its exciting!

O-Dog rocks the underground sound!! it's funky!! plus it's the light we bring.

Hard hat with the lantern on top in the darkness..what's happening?

Hard bat used to swing at a hater!! Louisville slugger!! oops upside the head!

Strangefruit hanging from trees back in the day!! now some are revolutionary like a dread.

Strange..the masses were misled!! now the morale is low everywhere!!

Danger Zone? the frontlines of spiritual warfare are everywhere.

O-Dog is banging on drums and Yamaha keyboards..funk is drummed up.

O-Zone is working the equation..consequences are summed up.
