The CD version of 'Pride On My Cufflinks' is a 4 panel Digipak, and it looks as sexy as you would imagine it to be. Seriously, this shit is next level attractive.
Includes unlimited streaming of Pride On My Cufflinks
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Featuring Ohio's Copywrite. Nuff said. Barz galore. Nothing profound really, just lettin go with the pens. This track is loosely themed around the "we are gonna school cats, this is training" type a deal. Punchlines for days and a solid 90's classic here.
lyrics
uh.. Lets go!
Hook:
I said there's no time to sit around, I dont give a shit about,
what you're considered now, there's no way to figure out...
blood, sweat, spillin' out, love, hate, in & out,
love that feelin now, Notion original,
Excuse me please, now what were you expectin'?,
an instant fan, when i grabbed your attention,
so, we lacin' weapons in this session to kill,
the way we reppin', don't give us a second to chill… (its real)
Verse:
(wat up yall?), they call me Nosh dog, maybe because the flows cold,
I even get bitches panties wet, from a phone call,
"Nosh" im the man of the moment, while you standin there dormant,
& realisin' that you got no supporters, you a "joke",
(Pfft..) shit.., man, do you seein what im coping wit,
on my Kid Cudi Day n Nite, lonely stoner shit,
(zone quick,) catch me wit a chick, watchin' porno flicks,
rod stiff as a log, dog, chickies adore the dick,
New comers, overlook it, try the play the rules,
Get me in they trainin' dude &, let me explain it to em,
I'm so potent, & still so focused,
put my time in, & now i startin' chargin' for my dopeness,
give a fuck what ya spit about, provide shit to think about,
Im the new era, of this Hip Hop digi-tal,
I beg ya fine pardon, listen up clear,
emcees fear, coz real artists rockin' this year, & there's.. (16)
Hook:
No time to sit around, I dont give a shit about,
what you consider now, there's no way to figure out...
blood, sweat, spillin out, love, hate, in & out,

Excuse me please, now what were you expectin'?,
an instant fan, when i grabbed your attention,
so, we lacin' weapons in this session to kill,
the way we reppin', don't give us a second to chill… (its real)
Verse 2:
As soon as I launch off, you pussies get all soft,
you ignorance cause y'all, to dwindle & fall off, coz dog,
we the illest spit, wit pure magnificence,
you sure lack vision kid, you failure to listen is,
the reason that you fallin' behind,
we cryin' sweatin', bleedin' every season we blowin' ya mind,
& still marchin in time, & kill for scrilla at the drop of a dime,
if im dropping a roach, that'll be the only way im dropping a dime, (8)
but this a gem, written down with poisonous pens,
the how-to training', composin' like Thelonious man..,
I aint goin for broke, i got my eyes on the bonuses man,
y'all, know what it is, I know the price, but im hopin to bid,
uh, we got this rap game open as shit,
so far back, her ribs are cracked, this bitch doin the splits,
okay, victory dance, doggie blaze the L,
Copy & I headed for Plat Plus, like we Kane & L, this is training'…
Hook:

Verse 3 - Copywrite:
The bigger the budget, the wacker the rapper,
I know magic, I'll have your cadaba, go abracadabra,
rabbit out the hat trick, I meant, trick out the rabbit,
no gas in the Volkswagen, go, gift-mount for cabbage,
only spitter alive's, when they give him a 5
in Source, he's written in twice, saying it was a bribe, (of course)
draw before you eyes, play Pictionary,
real my skill to zero beneficiary, reload get the clip & hurry,
drop Ohio bars, at CO Penitentiary, life sentences with the chance of ..??
30 seconds I murder em, 30 seconds into the words on the second ad-lib track,
before I spit the sentence, get a reverend pass those back,
Gesundheit this a blessing, this the section where I lift the sweatshirt & you glimpse the weapon,
bookin', sweeten', textin' your next of kin 'fo you get to steppin',
I'll axe your skin like a Mexican with a scissored
