lyrics

Coda, Chuckie Campbell
Guess who’s back?
You’re now rocking with the true and living
held captive to the truest vision
Chuckie Campbell
Ras Kass
and the magnificent, Mad Dukez
this is power

Verse 1, Mad Dukez

I’m not entitled
I know I deserve it
been smiling all year
still it got you nervous
been holding a lane
while watching ‘em curb it
still building a name
from the depths to the surface
look, you want the baddest?
you got the legend
say a prayer to opposers
of this thing we rep’n
my exploits is on epic
so ex noise
I hold court, no damn gavel
and then deploy
boy, lord willing
return with the winners
mo’ living, mo’ sinning
no matter religion
only remedy’s the stories you tell
and my mission
more than vivid, it’s wicked
twisted, hitter, you get this


Chorus 1, Mad Dukez

Yeah, got the whole world tuning in
so, go on turn it up louder
yeah, feel the surge when they talking yours
now, you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power

Verse 2, Ras Kass

Reintroducing the best ever --did it
finesse clever -- lyrics
west weather -- get it
sunny, it never rains
SoCal, my profile
risable great water tax
when bro smile
the whole style hostile
my means murder mics
from Mississippi to Moscow
Mr. Tipsy, use ditsy sluts
like sippy cups
breastfeeding whiskey
I’m like fifty bucks
What’s fifty bills?
that’s keepin it one hundred
meaning, I’m pretty ill
mogul status, sitting on 20 mill
these rappers is jokes
all I ever hear is that theme music
from Benny Hill
No fuck boy -- Johnny Gill


Chorus 1, Mad Dukez

Yeah, got the whole world tuning in
so, go on turn it up louder
yeah, feel the surge when they talking yours
now, you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power


Breakdown, Chuckie Campbell

On the other side of pain is power
without struggle, there is no progress
but the choice is yours
I once knew a man in love with his pain
he was no more than a slave in love with his chains
his life felt like a loop he couldn’t escape
so he buried his power, disguised it as hate
and, everyone he loved, he pushed them away
‘cause it was easier to leave than ask them to stay
easier to blame, criticize, and defame
easier to complain than actually change
easier to dream than work through the pain
and easier to hate than create a better way

I’m pursued by a power
you managed to take for granted
no prototypical patterns repackaged
I felt it happen
in a vision, color palette of madness
and now you found it
words are pictures,
panoramic and candid --
I got you open like this

Rappers...always making me laugh,
like skinny jeans and weak raps
didn’t didn’t exist in the past
When you rap, if I were you,
I’d feel like less of a man,
like holding Caitlyn Jenner’s testicles
in Donald Trump’s hands --

Stand for something greater,
shining light in the dark
Stars align and I predict
the prophet’s path through my palm
All along, I push through
envy, hate, and doubt for the art,
so while you were writing raps,
I was writing songs


Chorus 1, Mad Dukez

Yeah, got the whole world tuning in
so, go on turn it up louder
yeah, feel the surge when they talking yours
now, you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
yeah, now you brimming with the power
