lyrics

Nahmsaying Cuzzo
Nahmsaying Cuzzo
Waited too long
shoulda been getting to it
steada just getting through it

Verse 1

i listened to losers
worked my way from the winners
hung around the have nots
sang with the sinners
made move with motivators
and played with perpetrators
irked instigators
(Sah!)
intimidated imitators
Can It All Be So Simple
was my favorite song on 36 Chambers
cause that's what back in the days was
(Word!)
simple complexity
way it all came together
had to be about ya word
couldn't just say whatever
people minded they business
but it still took a Village
(Still)
Momma beat that ass in class
and everybody'd witness
it be quiet as kept
that was a sign of respect
any problems then you had to solve em
live and direct
even the one's they called crazy
helped old ladies carry bags inside
sitting on Momma car
when she came outside they'd apologize
(Riiight)
it's been a long road of hard luck
thankful that I grew up
with a code of conduct

Hook

The game is to be sold
and they say never fold
these things never get old
when you live by The Code
(The Code)
been a long road
and sometimes it gets cold
but even when you alone
you still live by The Code
(The Code)
tried to break the mold
and i held my weight in gold
i been down 10 toes
cause i live by The Code
(The Code)
they say he played the role
till he had no way to go
and that same day he told
but did he live by The Code?
(Did he?)

Verse 2

Times are A-Changin
can't just rhyme for entertainment
you ca save that fire for the cave men
swear i know more people doing bad
than doing well
feeling like the fool trying to keep ya cool
when you in hell
mind tricks the body
body thinks the mind is crazy
(crazy)
body starts to fail
3rd eye lookin lazy
well baby
maybe ya time in finally up
i heard karma was a THOT
i'm not surprised that she suck
(Slut)
this generation is too impatient
to stand the test of time
if they to get a grind
i hope they never meant to rhyme
i wanna hear ya next line
i'll just press rewind
if that went over ya head
forget it nevermind
behind enemy lines with Black skin
do me a solid
tell Gregory hines i'm tapped in
(tapped in)
its a Dog Eat Dog world
thats my pet peeve
so when you seeing me with trees
i'm saying lets leave

Hook

The game is to be sold
and they say never fold
these things never get old
when you live by The Code
(The Code)
been a long road
and sometimes it gets cold
but even when you alone
you still live by The Code
(The Code)
tried to break the mold
and i held my weight in gold
i been down 10 toes
cause i live by The Code
(The Code)
they say he played the role
till he had no way to go
and that same day he told
but did he live by The Code?

junclassic Queens, New York

junclassic is NOT Your average emcee. His voice is striking, something between the weighted baritone of a Bigge Smalls coupled with the streetwise snarl of a Prodigy. He often speaks in daily life narratives, barely escaping the pitfalls of New York City. Refreshingly candid, jun highlights the emotional burdens of Afrocentric modernity, a middle-aged Black man trying to make it all make sense. ... more
