Break the News -

Yo, break the news and let 'em know what has just happened

Break the news that the L has got your hands clappin

Break the news that we’re killin 'em with dope rappin

Break the news we call the shots like a damn captain

You never seen somethin like this, so I might just

Break the silence and open up your eyelids

Real name’s Gideon, rap alias is Oak

Either way you better of paid attention when I spoke

Cause I don’t recite any old mumbo jumbo

I speak real words and put 'em together like gumbo

I’ve seen a lot, in my journey through hip-hop (true)

And I consider a lesson in what not to do

I only say this because I’m jaded

And I love hip-hop so much that I hate it, but yo

I keep on movin with my checklist

I hand around like a necklace, build like (?)

So it seems like 2000 seasons, for various reasons

I never run I only walk or else I’ll start wheezin

My verbal artillery will rip apart regions

And then bring 'em back together with my smart teachin

I only wish that that people listen;

cause when you don’t

I might as well resort to bringin y’all the pot to piss in

I grab the quarter out the bucket that you flipped it

And give it right back (here) because I want it like that

Y-yo-yo, here’s to a long and prosperous career

And cheers to the words that I’m spittin in your good ear

I can’t lose, I dot my ones, cross my twos, take the brews

Break the news, you got the national boulevard blues

They say, to play the rules

They say, to pay your dues

I think it’s time to set them loose

So now, we break the news

A graduate of the Greenfield Academy

Makin a splash like Cannonball Adderly

They’re mad at me (what for) breakin 'em down (up yours)

That’s what I tell 'em and passengers for askin

Got a deep rooted passion for provin 'em wrong

That’s why I walk like I’m bein followed by my theme song

Introducin me, your next favorite rapper

When you’re tired of the same bullshit chit-chatter

Nonsense on record, I wreck your conception

Pre-conceived notion, rectified perceptions

A whole new view, have you seein me in 3-D

Letterbox edition, I can see it all completely

Aww shit!

It’s happenin again

They remember that we’re dope and now they wanna be friends

But the L only rolls with the L

And the team that’ll fight for the L, my life is a L

From my morning cerea-L, to my L in the P. M

It’s the L cause all my life I makin moves like a GM
