The Jack Move

Its going down!! they had me out of pocket!!  so I had to make a jack move! 

O-Dizzle is throwing down!! like North Korea shooting rockets!! he had the sound to make you jack your body...so move!

O-Zone had this good word; re-elected like Rafael Correa?  rebuking the mass hysteria...still proving to them that he knows whats up!

Rolling down I-20 in Atlanta listening to Chick Corea...we're all up in these danger zones; bumping heads with clones..karma causes some to get whats coming to them!! especially if they've been corrupt!

 That's whats up!!  I see how they're rolling!!  that's why I let the hustlers hustle and the players play!

That's whats up!!  as I handle breakbeat scientific business! making jack moves! rolling like Chris Paul in the NBA All Star game;  as this good word is dropped and the funky music will play! 

Let us pray said the old school baptist preacher!! whats up jack?  what are you trying to prove? that was the word from the devil's advocate!

The new school baptist preacher was corporate..he used the by any means necessary strategy..when he came back with this!

As I jack this!! the earth quakes like North Korea nuclear tests or like fracking around Youngstown Ohio! 

Its righteous!!  the earth quakes as the bass thumps in the hooptie as I cruise down I-20 in Atlanta..a jack move is made; but not car jacking like juvenile delinquents in Dekalb County;  knowing how that will go!

Came right back with this..with fakes we bump heads..but we jam for you..transmitting live...check the frequencies..intergalactic with it..

Came right back with this...crashing to earth like meteors in Russia; some will feel the pressure after the jack move is made...a fanatic will get it....

If its a bad hand? gamblers out for a fast buck dealt this!!  but we take lemons and make lemonade! 

Ramblers off at the mouth were pawns of the enemy!! like the leaked White House immigration plan; some are unknowing participants in the charade! 

The Smoke and Mirrors Mix by O-Dog played in the background; to let folk know what it do!

The inside joke concerning horror and terror left some without a clue! 

Others act like they knew this!!  but then they get hit up with the blitz! 

Baltimore Raven style!!  Ed Reed or Ray Lewis!! some find out how rude it is;  they were all about the glamour and glitz!

I chill out down here in Atlanta..eating fish and grits at Ron and Gladys...over by Stonecrest Mall!

Making It Harder Than It Had To Be PT.4

...We were way way out there!! per the stellium in Pisces; plus planets were soon retrograde..now some said we made it harder than it had to be! 

Like Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl after the lights came back on;  the old school baptist preacher said its on!! what God had for me is for me!
The mothership has landed; I'm chilling with earthlings who are misbehaving;  see how we roll!! wannabe starting something like Michael Jackson!

But a brotha gets scientific with it; but like the Pope retiring..you might not see me in the action!

But you might see me trying to avoid the distractions...please!! life is full of them..

Shining the light in the darkness..whose waiting there? trying to fill the void..the vehicle tries to gain traction...but tires are slick..reminding me of masters of the universe wannabes...ruling empires..slick with it...I'm not acting a fool with them..

Trying to rule with them?..upholding the law per Christopher Dorner?...next thing you know? they're shooting burners at you...
                                                                                   
Trying to school them...class is in session..the Sonic Blackjack will slap some upside the head..now slow learners act like they knew..

Why do you act like you do? naysayers ask me...I told them I was cut from a different cloth or fabric...

Drones will soon keep track of you in these American cities..no pity is received from a fanatic...

O-Zone is dropping this good word...while the alter ego O-Dog will get funky with the track...

Danger zone escapades are exposed...meals were supersized..slackers supervised...but some make it harder than it has to be...they're still off track...    

The Remote Outpost

Chilling out!!  maxing and relaxing… way way out there!!  you can say its a remote outpost!

Dealing with it..out there…Meteors fall like in Russia / Siberia…but  I see there’s no fear in ya..rolling like Kim Jong-un in North Korea…flexing..and I hear you out there as you brag..others you try to out boast!

Meanwhile these brothas are outside the box; but not acting funny with the money like G20…

Check the style / swag / steelo..O-Dizzle will rock..rebuking the hustle knock…some say we’re done

Staying modest / humble ;  please!!  like the State vs Christopher Dorner?  incendiary tear gas, bombs and gunfire will rumble around those fronting and flexing!

But were on top of this!! we crossed the boundary or border…now transmitting live; the good word is dropped and the bass will rumble;  is this the next big thing?

They Didn't Let It Go / They're Still Going Through It

As we go to it; check the 12th House activity..as we go to a private place; going private like Dell!!  no IPO's like Facebook! 

As we go through it;  reflecting on past episodes as a crime lieutenant..not a Sargent or private; can't lie about it... some were face to face with a crook! 

O-Dizzle has the bass, hook lines, and his own beats; check out the Street Funk... its used as a weapon while were going through it!

That's the dizzle!!  for real though!! plus we did the knowledge; no Vatican conclaves needed;  checked the Da Vinci  Code; secrets were revealed...so were acting like we knew it!

Its Cold Outside But The Air Conditioning Is On

Its cold outside here in Atlanta..the temperature is in the 30's ...but the air conditioning is on in this building! 

Its a cold world!!  like meteors landing in Russia / Siberia;  but some are hungry and thirsty...said its no fear in ya!! your not yielding!

I was hip to the scheme / plot;  G20 is acting funny with the money; plus I spotted workers welding and blow torching the structure!! while authorities in San Bernardino talked about shooting burners!

.....at Christopher Dorner for being out of order;  scorching the structure after corrupting a brotha!!  but jokers these days are slow learners! 

They didn't earn this by doing the knowledge...especially since its Black History Month....they thought they were entitled..but damn!!  I saw a poster with a brotha who was rolling with the Confederates..whats up with it? they didn't recognize the pattern! 

....then jumping to conclusions; soon Negroes are bumping heads with institutions from the Louisville to the ATL;  from Pluto to Mars..to Saturn! 

Total Chaos and confusion are bruising and battering egos out there!! conditioning the masses! 

Taking a loss is more than an option;  no win or triumph like on the Carnival Triumph; its cold outside!! plus the air conditioning is on!! inside a joker prays and fasts! 

Please!! the conditioning of a clone is adjusted when class is in session! 

O-Dizzle swings the Sonic Blackjack;  get back jack!! plus some will get whats coming to them...check the sonic aggression!

Whats the dizzle jack?  some are freezing like Russians with windows blown out after the meteor hit..

Its cold outside..but the air conditioning is on in the building...plus a joker had a fan on in his cubicle...whats up with it?
