Infiltration 01:49
Man I'm going towards 35 Never really released what I wanted since I'm alive Never was able to reach people like I do when I speak I know it's not because of music At least I believe I got regrets Yes and many of 'em Most due to myself Forgive me for not always sharing all my problems I choose to sit down too often Instead of working my product I get lazy sometimes and I know that I shouldn't I should talk to the world the same things I talk when sitting at a table for dinner But look right now I would lay down There's always a good reason Something great on television Stanley Cup Playoffs, World Series, 360 with Anderson I'm interested in everything Too many passions force me not to focus on one thinks Probably why I'm missing the essential Increase my potential Promise I won't cancel a next session that's already scheduled Hey yo! It's the Philosophy of the Astonished, the album Get ready for something powerful to get in your cranium and maybe Wake you up so you can see The truth throughout the gravy The beats are banging anyways if you just wanna party Smoke a B-L-U-N-T Get drunk and somehow feel free A total package for that ass that you probably have for free So fuck it you got to see me perform live As we transform songs to bombs And bring down the building What you call rapping batty boy To me well it's like breathing So there is no comparison possible between us So shut the fuck up I eat, sleep, shit hip hop I can't never get enough So you know I'm gonna come up with some dope shit No matter what so come and get your fix To escape because you need it GS music is needed So open up your ears We're going in Better believe it ha!

Animation 03:37
GS No Stress Open your eyes and visualize The greatness of my enterprise My lyrics are full of surprise Always the truth No fucking lie So if I do capitalize It won't be because I'm fly It will also be because of the fact That the rhymes that I kick are so reliable And tangible from all the foul shit y'all getting used to Wake up people and smell the coffee Here's something that makes me sick to my stomach To witness that the world revolves around A few things so far from what they should be Is y'all blind? You can't see? Loyalty, respect, pride and dignity Nowadays seems replaced by a headache Isn't that great to know there's games people play I've seen so many losing focus caught up in a circle Unable to stop sniffing Goddamn it And get back on the right track Or at least want to see that Life is what you make it So yes you can get back Wake up party people Life is what you make it Stop wasting your time playing Stop wasting your time hating (x2) Honestly I'm sick of your faces I just can't embrace this mess and be happy You stress me You're really telling me to respect your business Shit I'm using this art to communicate Dumb ass proud trying to be smart wants to innovate Not impressed with fireworks Bombs desinegrate The inner space The sin of phrase You're so afraid Don't wanna compete I wanna eat your fucking face Yes I'm pissed off TV only shows me pop stars Dreams of young girlies uh-oh Always new kids on the block Thought change was coming Shit worse than ever We're in major debt darling We keep getting deeper Fuck man Could you please find you some private investment? You ain't the best man You're in the aisle begging You should be fucking thankful you're living off your husband Wake up party people Life is what you make it Stop wasting your time playing Stop wasting your time hating (x2) Sometimes I look around Wondering are we losing our fucking minds? Like we're always outta time Wishing we could press rewind Selling pills seems to be fine When it's weed yo it's a crime Pedophiles are rolling by There should be no second time Isolation of the mind On the surface looking fine Internet open your eyes It can also get you blind Religions supposed to guide WBut we see that they divide Terrorism on the rise Everyday a soldier dies Are you gonna reach the sky or go to hell and maybe fry When you're poor you survive When you're rich you live the life We can always tell a lie Remember the truth will shine Politicians always try Population should reply When someone crosses the line Consequences should apply Cock roaches always hide Like as if they never die TYou may need to close your eyes So you can look inside yourself To realize about the strenght so you can rise Wake up party people Life is what you make it Stop wasting your time playing Stop wasting your time hating (x2) How come it's always a deception to see You do what you do The way you do it Isn't there any room for improvment Cause we think there should be more work Yes indeed

That Shit 02:59
What's up How you doing? I'd like to introduce myself My name is Breeze GS no stress Yes I flip script No I don't push drugs Already tried It's really not in my blood Music's what I love It was all that I could think of Back when I was a young boy riding a bike I could see myself on a scene grabbing a mic Kicking my lyrics There was no way for me to bite Without even knowing It already had the elements in me to make me an mc Ready for ciphers Suckers got kicked out Flavours done came out Yo! That's the culture Ignorant bastards nowadays wanna rap Without having any skills Or a total lack of conscience or knowledge Straight garbage Such a dirty job taking out the trash But I do it Get rid of these cock suckers Stop sleeping Breeze coming at'cha When we come around you know we drop that shit And though we kill it there's always someone to talk that shit You better take your friends advice when they say stop that shit Cause only one fact will remain GS is that shit I take intensive care of my career Ain't trynna ruin the efforts I put in it I'm staring at the stairs in front of me It took me 15 years to get up here I'm halfway there Though sometimes it feels like I could lift a door And get in the attic It moves me more It moves me core I'm in love with sitting at my desk Pour a glass of something then do my best To find what to say with dope rhymes Use different subjects Not what's so hype Don't wanna be seen all the time Quietly moving, I'm that type Got good vision to lead the blind A Mira dog, a mirador Admire the voice A mil and more mi amore I want that whore that might abort what I record yeah! When we come around you know we drop that shit And though we kill it there's always someone to talk that shit You better take your friends advice when they say stop that shit Cause only one fact will remain GS is that shit Many people rhyme without a purpose So I fuck 'em up quick with one of my verses Nothing's worse following fools going nowhere If you can't lead Get the fuck up outta here Better beware of the Breeze coming through quietly Sneaking up on you with a flow over a beat by JP Production is crazy Cause we never gave a fuck about a trend man So we can do whatever the fuck we want when we wanna Just remember that our music is timeless So the words coming out of my mind will stick in your head For a long time and it will free your mind From all the shit kicked by anyone who can rhyme So now I think it's time to drop a couple of lines To fuck mcs up leave 'em far behind Show 'em a path not to follow so they know Fuckin' around will turn your wife into a widow When we come around you know we drop that shit And though we kill it there's always someone to talk that shit You better take your friends advice when they say stop that shit Cause only one fact will remain GS is that shit Hate everything that's being made here All about the same thing So I make things clear Your need to hear your shit on air that you composed Makes it hard for to love so I compost The garbage you already recycled Either a trend or a bite Your style is so cold We're 2 versatile men Surrounded by cheap tricks puting out the flame We hate most of you with a passion Secretly, you ain't part of our discussions You claim you rep Montreal like the Canadiens But you should be sent right away to Hamilton Damn right like Bettman we despise you Searching for a market that don't fit you We take you back We don't argue Bye! You won't be missed man No fucking lie

No Mistake 03:30
There's no mistake We can say I've changed There's no doubt about it I got sick of the same bullshit surrounding my name Since the 25th year spent on this planet The criticism, past judgments Saying I ain't constant anymore when I'm playing my game Close friends and family who always waited for me To make things happen for them need to talk about me Like something wrong with me The way I need to be It ain't the same with P And on and on you see I work too hard to let those I help Discard my efforts and scar myself forever Don't even ask for respect Ask for people to stop and think What this life could have been I'm not responsible for today's lack of connection My behaviour's the result of years of frustration We share the same goal, the same dream Nothing can come between us Keeping this thing alive requires no special effort You just know it And you know what? There's no room for second thoughts I'll forever play my part (x2) I woke up one day and realized that it was time For me to move on with my life and leave the past behind Along with the past Had to leave some people too Cause our relationship was somewhere far from equal It's not that when I give I wait for something in return But when you give and only give Sometimes it feels kinda awkward In other words yo Do you bring anything at all to the table Or do you only feed yourself taking the crumbs too I know it's hard for you to hear it like this But goddamn it you're now at the bottom of my list Because of this sometimes I don't answer my fucking phone You sneaky motherfucker private caller won't get me on I care about my friends And I can count 'em on my one hand Too bad there was a time I thought I had to use both Now I just don't know By the way don't wanna bother you with my chorus But in a way you should feel concerned We share the same goal, the same dream Nothing can come between us Keeping this thing alive requires no special effort You just know it And you know what? There's no room for second thoughts I'll forever play my part (x2) I been nice through time, too nice So from now on If you don't participate in the creation of new shit You can't say you're a Good Samaritan You're a friend or someone we know Interesting how people can come close Knowing they know this boat can blow up and go off shore Anytime, every line that we find Gives a chance to anyone and the ones who can rhyme So make your luck and get involved Or simply shut the fuck up if you don't got heart We share the same goal, the same dream Nothing can come between us Keeping this thing alive requires no special effort You just know it And you know what? There's no room for second thoughts I'll forever play my part (x4)

The time's so hard, so hard The time's so tough, so tough But I'm gonna live it up, I live it up, live it up, live it up now I won't give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up now, oh (x2) Another day, another dollar Everyday I wonder If I lose what I got Will I be able to do better Find something else yo something bigger After all yo I'm a hustler There's no way that I can let my kids perceive me as a failure Listen man I'm telling ya Already have a lot of pressure So once in a while I blow the kinda smoke that gets me higher Put everything in perspective Erase all the negative Transform all the bad things into something more positive Seek for something lucrative Very, very lucrative I can't afford to be broke So I get up early in the morning First on the scene Last to leave Proceed whether they believe or not I gotta get my team on it to keep it non stop Focus so we don't flop So we make it to the top Always on the look out for fuckers who wanna see me drop Who wanna shut down my shop Not knowing that I fight a lot With anyone stepping in my way so they know that I can't be stopped, Lord The time's so hard, so hard The time's so tough, so tough But I'm gonna live it up, I live it up, live it up, live it up now I won't give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up now, oh (x2) Man when I get up All I think about is fuck Then I start counting hours remaining to the week and some Man when will success come So I can take time to bum Like when I was young Sipping rum sitting next to the sickest buns Concentrate and not listen to anybody I gotta work and make my way in the streets of New York City Life ain't easy We can't compare to poor people of Haiti So we gotta stop complaining and shake this shit right baby That's what we do Look at me you I got it dude my reggae I'm in the fucking picture for even more than a decade I can't stop today man I need my rubber band and A nice place to stay in the Virgin Islands Get away from violence Cause this is where I am My life is halfway done So I need chill out where I stand The time's so hard, so hard The time's so tough, so tough But I'm gonna live it up, I live it up, live it up, live it up now I won't give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up now, oh (x2) One day my father told me 'This he said son, you're rich When you owe nobody shit' So I'm on nobody's dick And always about my business So I don't miss an opportunity to get paid I ain't giving up shit 'Choices you make will design your life Some people will pay the price Better get your mind right Freedom's priceless Hold on tight If you do fall outta focus You may lose more than your sight Darkness all around you Like there's no more light We see winners between losers From the strenght they put in a fight So stop complaining Stop breaking yourself from realizing What it is you see in your mind Nobody's gonna do it but you Can't get the picture like you Don't feel concerned as you do That's why they criticize Cause most of them ain't got a fucking clue 'bout what you up to What you gon' do What's wrong with you Let me help you Go back to school Find something fool What you wan' do Gotta stay cool The time's so hard, so hard The time's so tough, so tough But I'm gonna live it up, I live it up, live it up, live it up now I won't give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up now They say the sky is the limit And I won't stop trying Until I get a piece of that pie They don't want us to survive They don't want us to stay alive They don't want us to survive They don't want us to stay alive

Known for many different flows Here's one more How many styles is he able to flip Actually a lot And I'm not about to stop I've planned to rock the spot till my heart beat drops Cause I got it in me It's part of my DNA It flows like that through my blood everyday Doing it my way No matter what they say I stay on point and I'm ready for whatever more than ever Competition can't remain I'm better Constantly talking trash So bitter Creativity so large Much bigger Lazy with the pen got you 6 feet under I don't want you to approve my every move I don't need you so I can do what I do All I want from you is very simple Let me proceed and I'ma give it to you (x2) Took some time off when I got back from BC To sit in a class filled with BS artists All they had in mind was to make it easy Ready to do anything but involve their money They wanted to find a way to get their dreams paid Frustrating season for a man like me Why should the state invest in our critics To then see itself sink in deficits My anger keeps growing as I see Many of 'em acting like they made it They're so wrong, so far gone Can't they count on something else than my account I wish all of us could think that great And not only let laziness dictate The outcome of what should be our fate In the name of a culture that will not fade I don't want you to approve my every move I don't need you so I can do what I do All I want from you is very simple Let me proceed and I'ma give it to you (x2) Right in front of you It's a revelation And also part of evolution They don't wanna say it's revolution But the fact that we're in may cause a lot of friction Different form of delivery you see We're practically ripping the souls out of mcs Filling up ears Kidnaping hearts Basically doing it for the love of the art Motivated by the need to rip it apart Not necessarily the top of the chart Swimming in an ocean filled with sharks Got me developing skills Gotta stay sharp Set our own mark Think big, get far Follow my heart, my dreams, work hard Mind over matter so you know I won't fall Plus strategize to come out on top of it all I don't want you to approve my every move I don't need you so I can do what I do All I want from you is very simple Let me proceed and I'ma give it to you (x2)

You get what you give, right? And sometimes it's a lot of trouble See how America's now swimming in oil The water boils Gangsters sipping Crown Royal Nobody's loyal Especially when money dangles in front of 'em Paralyse deadly venom When up in 'em Cause it's killing any form of friendship Trust and partnership You know things of that nature Blinded by the fury of getting money and power Everybody's living like what they have is a few hours left To get as much as they can so it's never our It's mine, mine, mine, mine It's all mine Ignoring as a team It would have took half the time To get twice as much You know double up That's the formula But they're fucking up Lost in the mix unable to think clear Acting wrong because of fear Worry they might disapear When the storm takes over And you think it's all over Stay focused on The Lighthouse And ride that thing out Rainy days only make the sun shine brighter If you wanna give up Here's something to remember (x2) I was totally told to let go Focus on real goals man Stop spitting flows And quit doing you But the one they once called the yo Chose to hit and run the road I can see and smell the gold Who could've known my heroes would turn this cold Cause the refused to hold their vows, their promise Guess they're cowards Don't wanna say this But damn I'm pissed I'm just Tired to see money changing everybody People judging others The life's a nightmare daily Your own brother can turn his back on you What you think such a sick impact can do? Don't beg me pardon dude Kids kill themselves massively They can see the lighthouse but they can't reach land They think their life's over drowning in silence When the storm takes over And you think it's all over Stay focused on The Lighthouse And ride that thing out Rainy days only make the sun shine brighter If you wanna give up Here's something to remember (x2) It's never too late mate Life is what you make it There'a always a way To break outta the cage As long as you keep the faith So fuck the fake moves Can't relate with whatever they have in mind It ain't me anyway They're fucking up my sight Like they want me to deviate from my path Cause they find it too hard to navigate I'd rather throw 'em overboard Than listen to these fucks complain Even if they think that I'm fucking going insane I don't know how it's gonna end But my family's going down again My old mom's getting tired The hardest to follow's my brother Whose son's an amputee My other brother's son's a junkie All ingredients for the recipie There's no manual to find how to deal with so many problems Staying strong but sometimes I can't answer the phone My lighthouse's my music No fall back plan No other investment So believe me when I say I won't give up You say my time's up I don't hear you man I just can't give a fuck When the storm takes over And you think it's all over Stay focused on The Lighthouse And ride that thing out Rainy days only make the sun shine brighter If you wanna give up Here's something to remember (x2)

Get Away 03:42
My solitary mind got me writing a lot of rhymes And the paradox is that people gather every time I speak Up on a beat just to freak what I wrote with a flow that'll make Most people fiending for more So yo I gotta be dope Anyway that's all I know Doing it the best way possible And reach you if it's possible So you can get the visual As if we're in the same room And I'm basically showing you How I see it in my head The road is rough If there's any And people wanna shine So the game is kinda dirty Guess if I wanna make it Gotta get across the land And do what I do best Seems to me like a simple plan The Good Samaritans do have a hard path to follow A dangerous road Jerusalem to be exact down to Jericho Now that you know about the parable I hope you'll understand The reason why I hesitate to give anybody a hand I have to get away But not because of anybody, nah Only time evaporates There's no escape So we move on And if it means to sacrifice my life That's what I'll do Only one question How about you? I have to get away But not because of anybody, nah Only time evaporates There's no escape So we move on And if it means to sacrifice my life That's what I'll do Just keep in mind I don't forget shit I'ma see you Remember the days when What I was saying was We should pack our things and Get away but we did The right thing I think cause When Dominique became pregnant All priorities had to change We had to step back I'd be mad today if we didn't do that We owed respect to your family My friends will always come Before a choice to make for my career The same was done with JP When he felt he had to leave We supported him And now that we're closer than ever We have to share this strenght With the rest of the whole world altogether People thought I was crazy When I was talking of South East Asia Look at them now though What they're doing is exactly The same thing back then they were laughing of I have to get away But not because of anybody, nah Only time evaporates There's no escape So we move on And if it means to sacrifice my life That's what I'll do Only one question How about you? I have to get away But not because of anybody, nah Only time evaporates There's no escape So we move on And if it means to sacrifice my life That's what I'll do Just keep in mind I don't forget shit I'ma see you I'm always on the look out Ever ready for whatever's coming my way It would be fair to say That Breeze is far from sleeping Note book open Capturing thoughts just at the right moment So I can ride 'em down to kick 'em And use to beat to pour 'em Cause it becomes a flow and altogether it's called rhythm You need some kind of talent to do that aka skills Otherwise what you recite no one will ever feel And then you fall in the abyss of mediocrity And usually there's no come back from that G And you know how we do as mcs We show no mercy for suckers and make 'em suffer ultimately Naturally you can guess that Breeze don't feel no one And if I wanna get away it's not because I'm running from anyone Where I'm from the population is about 7 million French speaking people Then I'm supposed to sell my album I have to get away But not because of anybody, nah Only time evaporates There's no escape So we move on And if it means to sacrifice my life That's what I'll do Only one question How about you? I have to get away But not because of anybody, nah Only time evaporates There's no escape So we move on And if it means to sacrifice my life That's what I'll do Just keep in mind I don't forget shit I'ma see you

Tour Bus 03:52
Come with us, ride with us Get inside my tour bus Get yourself a seat We're going straight outta your mind to Get inside of mine so you can get to know me Better than you do now Come on and get ready (x2) Turn the volume up Time for me to represent Making moves with my peeps Gotta get some dividends I'm the best at what I do While your operations depend On a financial support provided by the government, bitch! Let me break it down so I can show you how I do it Cause ever since I could I've always kept on doing it And what I mean by ever since I could is when the rhymes written weren't good enough for me to keep 'em I start spitting 'em like deadly venom My main thing was to turn the party out With a vinyl that I brought for DJs to put me on Giving up the microphone to let me sing my little song Looking at me kinda strange Like what the fuck is going on You witness the greatness No one does it like this young boy Spitting sick shit It's Breeze bitch! Remember my name Make sure it's in your brain Mcs who wanna test I take 'em out I ain't playing We got it, we got it, we got, we got it good (x3) So good that right about now it should be understood Come with us, ride with us Get inside my tour bus Get yourself a seat We're going straight outta your mind to Get inside of mine so you can get to know me Better than you do now Come on and get ready (x2) Listen, I've been tested more than once Now it's time to Take that rap music to another level You see me with a shovel So you know I'm underground fool I'm working overtime so I can come out of a tunnel Digging in my soul in the dirt Just to find the perfect rhyme combination So I can free your mind From that everyday struggle or whatever's bothering you Even give you strenhgt if you're feeling suicidal Vital nerves I touch When the mic is in my clutch I spit my lyrics out the guts I can never get enough I bust a flow so phat Fake fucks wanna battle It's funny or is it really Stressing that you're a real mc Give me some dark rum with a bit of Pepsi Put a half of lime in it Should be less than a minute To do it yo so now you see How easy it is Grabbing a mic Busting a flow Wanna get biz, huh! Come with us, ride with us Get inside my tour bus Get yourself a seat We're going straight outta your mind to Get inside of mine so you can get to know me Better than you do now Come on and get ready (x2) I love to hang out with the boys To hop on the bus Live up to the buzz The sound we propose From East to West coast is new so we know How good things can go I find my seat in the back Where speakers blast the loudest Aboard it's not only GS We need to play all the best shit From 91 to 97 and you can name 'em From Gangstarr to Outkast We discuss about the great rhymers of our past When we were adolescents to young adults Now that we're men All shit is dull Boring, annoying, good call! We must bring the lyrical genius that's missing The way of sampling an old record with respect Not necsarily trynna teach the children But at least playing a good role while rolling Come with us, ride with us Get inside my tour bus Get yourself a seat We're going straight outta your mind to Get inside of mine so you can get to know me Better than you do now Come on and get ready (x2)

While everybody seems to be blown along by the wind I follow the same path I used to trying to win Think it's evident trying to get dividends Whenever I represent So our sound is dominant, permanent Taking over shit independantely Rolling up my sleeves cause the government don't back me You can tell me what you want but remember Who does the ground work moving forward So fuck what you heard And welcome in my world This is my world You can spread the word Should begin to work if you wanna earn Whatever it is you think that you deserve And I hope you're gon' get it Especially those who bullshitted Life will take care of them and make 'em pay So they will never forget it So fuck it! Funny kind of thing to witness the way they think The way they bring the same elements To repeat what someone has already done Following footsteps of people who won Then they wonder why they've never been number one Should've known that your lack of originality Would somehow down the line get you back eventually Me I don't give a fuck I can go against the grain Against all odds Against almost anything Suckas wanna fight I'm already in the ring Those who think they got it good don't even wanna step in So step off You're so soft Fuck's wrong with y'all? Scared to never make it like a bitch so now you crawl With your own music just to play ball Meanwhile your pride waits for a fucking call Pardon my french but the G double D Samaritans Had enough of this non sense It's the philosophy of the astonished (x8) I'm just about to flip out There's no way for me to understand We're so loud Saying we're unhappy Unsatisfied we're barking But no one's reacting We're so astonished We're so mad all the time We could vomit We got friends waiting for a check Every first of the month Frustrating But my surroundings ain't the only thing that's astonishing Represented by people using us to live like kings Getting speeches written by strategists Manipulate the truth and decorate the news So that only the wealthy benefit the rules We all can the moves But can't never prove Too much money to lose All of us will approve So we sit back in anger Not talking like strangers Paying debts It's raining checks While they use their power against us How can you get there when you're so rich? Why can't you just do What you said you would do before you were elected? Now that you don't need us You can cross the line and waste your time travelling Spending the money our nation pays in taxes To realize your dreams Can't you see the privilege to lead? The vision we need The reason why we're working so hard to succeed You must resign for stealing our trust At least you'd prove you got guts It's the philosophy of the astonished (x8) It's not only because I got a short fuse People abuse Don't get it confused I'd rather hit you with some facts over the head Lyrical axe nobody can escape the strike that I inflict When I'm taking a swing to chop shit up So I can erase off your mind for a minute The ones in it for big bucks I ain't no playa hater 'Bout rap ain't a bitch neither I'm coming for you fake pimps Run for cover Soon as I spit my thoughts You analyze the bars Then realize you are dealing with a man far From being a cock roach And maybe the greatest certified rapper To make out of the chaos Ha! All I got is my dedication to the art form So you know that when I perform I'm way passed the norm Ripping everything around me 'til it's gone None of 'em I like in here Do something Don't let 'em in Of quality we need a minimum 'The fuck is it we see or we hear? Let me be free by being me Same art form not category You're proud of yourself I'm ashamed of your story Al of you in it only for the money Whatever the job You make me sick to my stomach That's how it is Man I've said it The change needed the most is humility Being humble like you ain't the best Dumbo Skills and manners don't never come in combos Astonishing philosophy When things don't change Just do your best Always do more Don't never make less Hard work will leave others speechless It's the philosophy of the astonished (x8)

Guess Who 04:04
Now since I don't wanna fall I make my way through the fog I use my brain and my balls Plus this venomous bars For quick reaction Action packed I'm killing 'em Keeping competition to the minimum Nowadays that's how we do know we don't play We the spot locked down so it won't be easy to take Better yet make it impossible Protecting our turf like wild animals, cannibals Had to be kicked out of the circle to keep on going We can't afford to be slowed down in what we're doing So follow me, follow me not But don't be detrimental to the movement Move man make room then Feel the train pass if front of you As you look at the ground instead You see we work hard so we can get far to be Where wee are what we're supposed to be Which is on top of our own pyramid We can't be stopped Who's doing the ground work? Hands full of dirt Receiving all kinds of words Guess Who? Who's doing the ground work Pride never hurt cause on our knees we never work Who's doing the ground on a turf where nobody was ever heard Guess Who? (X2) Of all the people that see on your screen My team has to be the one that heard the least screams For all the work put in dirt It doesn't make sense Perception being reality It's the only real glimpse We've blown the picket fence to keep the fans close But left the road in the too many tornadoes We chose to do what we do Wherever we go To you we'll be new Cause we sound different and we have our own accents We're immigrants to y'all It's time to make friends If we're killing y'all with sounds It was our intent Our group touches every grounds and plans to hit land Across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean As far as I'm concerned Might as well be the Indian As long as I leave this place To see all the new faces Salute me and my aces We need to complete this race Who's doing the ground work? Hands full of dirt Receiving all kinds of words Guess Who? Who's doing the ground work Pride never hurt cause on our knees we never work Who's doing the ground on a turf where nobody was ever heard Guess Who? (X2) I'm reaching my targets Remain focused regardless I'm on my quest You wanna give up be my guest Cause who the fuck you think's about to be making a mess Me over the beat or you right in your pants? Advanced wordplay Time for me to get paid Killing every JP's production that's being made Cause he doesn't expect nothing else coming from me And all I wanna do is chop some fucking heads you see We are dedicated to the art from the heart So it's hard for me to think about anything else Picture yourself doing anything different And if you can't see shit Then maybe you got it man So stop fucking around Cause what we give is a 100% That way no one will ever be able to say we're sloppy So here we go busting flows for you ass holes But mainly for anybody pumping that double H music yo! Who's doing the ground work? Hands full of dirt Receiving all kinds of words Guess Who? Who's doing the ground work Pride never hurt cause on our knees we never work Who's doing the ground on a turf where nobody was ever heard Guess Who? (X2) I knew back in '89 that I wanted to do this Travel the world by only sharing my lyrics Chuck D was the first to influence me A man who made millions look at the streets As a kid I was moved by Michael Jackson But I knew from the start I wasn't enough flamboyant Quiet, more distant standing in the background Not screaming but talking about everything I've found Searching in my mind disorganized folders Identifying myself to PE posters Couldn't be Griff, terminator X or Flav But the Hard Rhymer knew how to communicate What I I,d love to say Things that would intricate me Very important subjects of our society So I chose a path that looked more like me Guess who's there since then with much recognition Who's doing the ground work? Hands full of dirt Receiving all kinds of words Guess Who? Who's doing the ground work Pride never hurt cause on our knees we never work Who's doing the ground on a turf where nobody was ever heard Guess Who? (X2)

They said make up your mind Not knowing what was in it Treated me like I was blind And I couldn't see shit Man stop wasting your time I bet you'll regret it Acting like everything's fine Damn it you're making me sick Only have one life to live And while we're at it I don't care about what you think So listen up Either you're with me or you're not And if you're not Don't try to stop this Powerful forces you don't know nothing about (X2) I used to have a clique But everybody's gone Now I have a team and we focus on where we're going No time to fuck around me Tour hour glass is always on And I know that we're supposed to be on top Where we belong But it ain't easy being GS The one known as the best Steady moving forward on a different kind of quest And I don't say different just to show off I really mean it So follow me now And you will be able to say you've seen it They said make up your mind Not knowing what was in it Treated me like I was blind And I couldn't see shit Man stop wasting your time I bet you'll regret it Acting like everything's fine Damn it you're making me sick Only have one life to live And while we're at it I don't care about what you think So listen up Either you're with me or you're not And if you're not Don't try to stop this Powerful forces you don't know nothing about (X2) Imagine if I were paying attention To all of my peers Saying I shouldn't rhyming 'cause of my skin colour Or maybe only 'cause I'm a frenchie And for that I don't deserve to live Funny how mostly only my people is crying They're the only ones I hear all the time Never in my face but always, always behind closed doors Of course I have no remorse being stubborn Poor y'all Read the cue card Stand up Now applause They said make up your mind Not knowing what was in it Treated me like I was blind And I couldn't see shit Man stop wasting your time I bet you'll regret it Acting like everything's fine Damn it you're making me sick Only have one life to live And while we're at it I don't care about what you think So listen up Either you're with me or you're not And if you're not Don't try to stop this Powerful forces you don't know nothing about (X2) I bring my best Please give me feedbacks This is my quest Ready on the speed track I let my mind spray The sun rises in the east Jeru was damn right Ya playing ya'self bitch I only have one life to live I do what I want with it I set the boundaries None's fucking with my shit Love me or hate me Won't make a difference at all You drove the bests crazy Don't expect nothing more They said make up your mind Not knowing what was in it Treated me like I was blind And I couldn't see shit Man stop wasting your time I bet you'll regret it Acting like everything's fine Damn it you're making me sick Only have one life to live And while we're at it I don't care about what you think So listen up Either you're with me or you're not And if you're not Don't try to stop this Powerful forces you don't know nothing about (X2) All we have to do is make our dreams become reality And large scale projects may also bring animosity in your entourage The reason why they don't believe Sometimes with your friends Because they feel you don't need them Fuck that! There's no way I'ma let'em distract me Only thing they're doing is taking away my energy And I done did some sacrifice I don't need that shit in my life Just remember that I won't hop the same obstacle twice

I went from closeness to capture With this rapture I won't lie to ya I treat her more better than you like she was my baby mama I can't afford to see you bounce with some imitators 'Cause all my life has been dedicated strictly to ya We've been together ever since the first day I met you chilling 'round the way on a hot summer sunny day People was talking about you and your wicked ways So I had to come and get you Praying God that you would stay With me forever and you did so now it's on for real And through the years you reunited friends who became partners Who share the same vision with the dream to take it further So now we stick together bringing massive headbangers This is what I do It's not a simple contribution I'm spending most of my time with you on some new production The result that we get is satisfaction When we're mashing on this punk ass competition Tell me when's the next session First it was all about looking good 'Cause you're my Cleopatra Now it's all about make it last longer 'til forever 'Cause I love the way you walk to me Adore the good you do to me From my head to my feet Turning bad seeds into what's good to breathe Free me sharing deep moments and laughters Somewhere in time baby I swear we'll make it And end out to both become legends This union will continue to be fed to bring sons, daughters and grandchildren Differences is nice It makes the relation as colorfull as Smarties Do you need an explanation? All these creations were made up to give the solution I'm your husband but there's no paper No obligation You ain't my thing No you're more some kind of conviction Make ours unforgettable and stimulant Pertinent, important fight against forces of Satan To make of this wrap a true link for the next generation To take it and feel it and make it with no harassment No bracelets, no watches, material, only poems To take it further, make it stronger against the establishment Brought basic values with me Went out there and took the lead Held your heart near me through hell's steam Our spirit can last eternally It's so ironic The way that you can make me feel Sometimes an ass hole Sometimes a good man for real I gave you everything For you my heart is open Something crazy But somehow you manage to keep me waiting Breaking my balls trynna fulfil whatever you need And at the same time it seems to get you happy I should change my steez Rollin' up my sleeves going to work Trynna achieve my goals And make you believe that we'll one day succeed But 'til then Hope you appreciate what I gave ya What I go through What it really means to be with you What it is to be without you Whenever, whatever the time Always on my mind Can't get you out Can't live without you Guess we were meant to live togheter like Heat and fire As my prior My desire's to take you higher, higher Damn I rewrote my part cause 10 years passed so fast since the day we fisrt sat down to think about this track Didn't change the original verse that much I rearranged lines where a word could fuck the meaning, the flow so now it's ready to go in the web One more step in the ladder the rep grows bigger this group is sick but never gets the chance to prove what it got It helped a lot of acts But never did it see it come back We ain't bitter but we'll remember all of you Matter of fact Where would you be if we weren't there in the first place If we had never answered you when you all needed beats I mean there were days when we simply needed about anybody When we only felt our push was gonna help you in your career We started hearing we should switch from english to french Guess nobody believed in the choice of our greatest challenge So we'll stay behind you as long as it works our way What's fundamental to us at the end of the day anyway We feel ashamed of what's been done here for this culture We really wonder what it is you are trying to conquer We refuse to sound the same to gain easy success suckers We need to prove we were born winners put in between losers

One moment of silence How much do you owe someone who makes the decision To go overseas and fight insurgence? Soldiers do urgent piece of work Allowing us to be free as birds Surveilling talibans and kurds Terrorism in the past was seen as a minor threat Life has changed drastically a September 11 And today our dear experts Believe sending troops will soon eradicate the problem The mistake we make is that they are hundreds of millions Praying many times a day asking for our falling They hate us all so much They would burn the whole continent Our lifestyle's an illusion We're unfaithful to 'em I disagree with sending our pride and our blood to help people that ignorant But I understand the choice of protecting what was earned by our ancestors The price of freedom is worth everything and is to defend first One moment of silence To the many families who have lost their loved ones I can only thank you and keep on going Using my privilege given by brave young people Who believed in saving our freedom One special thought to our friend Jeff Who was killed in Afghanistan 2009 September 6 Rest in peace Big Dru We love, we miss you You were truly one of the best We're all against war if we're sane Problem: some want us dead and our country in pain We must support our troops Canadians, American and all of the United Nations My hate's growing towards cowards in this world Will there ever be peace again on this earth All I'M sure of is we're safer While our soldiers are doing the dirty work Thank you, we salute you One moment of silence
