lyrics

Bars aren’t cool anymore, they’re all cliche /
that’s what they want you to think until you hit play
and hear a set of lines that give you the instant screwface /
but when’s the last time you heard that from a whole tape? /
Hi, my name’s ELJAY, I’m here to say hey /
so let me just get at you while actually rapping circles past you /
CLVRFLD’s in town /
about to burn this b*tch /
down like Anthony Anderson thinkin’ bout White Castle /

There's a soundbyte here. Good stuff. Back to the lyrics:

More Kid Buu than Majin I ain’t sayin (Saiyan) /
I’ve unplugged all the controllers to prove that I ain’t playin /
I ain’t resting in my home with the ball in my court /
I’m Patrick Ewing in Game 7, homie, I can’t lay in /
Mash on the gas, hope I don’t end up like Brandy /
with some other driver’s brains on my dash in a crash /
but my drive is unmatched, when it comes to impossible tasks /
Barry Allen in a 40-yard dash /
I’ll run that in a flash, giving shots for free /
on this entire EP thank God I covered tab /
thank God you got offended and subtracted yourself /
from the equation calculated, thank God I know my math /
thank God my last exes ain’t try to shoot me or stab--well /
one of them did... so I think I’ll pass on that /
Killed that friendship to maintain my habitat /
That was the aftermath, ain’t nothin’ after that /
to be said, so hey, back to these bars /
back to this fitting session for my garments as Jafar /
I play the villain well… I really make it my own /
and plus I’m clever when I reappear in these different forms /
Dr. Robotnik couldn’t knock me out my zone /
I’m so *NSYNC when I’m "Gone" off the deep end in these songs /
I rap I rap and I rap, I think up lines in my dome /
but then I step to a track, and then I black like an African runner /
sprinting for gold, ok you (Hustle and Flow) but if you /
try me like you’re (Iron, Man) you’re cut from my script, /
why don’t you ask (Terrence Howard) how grimey it can get, /
you go from being a (War Machine) to a (TV show pimp) /
God they swear they wanna box with You /
but they can’t even step in a ring with me lyrically, I gotta see this /
And after you get knocked out for being irreverent /
Put on your apron on and go and fix me another deep dish...
Ready Up.

about

K1NG ELJAY Birmingham, Alabama

I just want to make music you can feel.

Based in Alabama for now, but feel free to check out the releases on the page (which are all available for free), and tell a friend to do the same thing.

Feel free to pay if you rock with it, but no pressure.

I appreciate you for even giving this a chance. I won't disappoint, I promise.
