ZULU - Riddim Killah

by MC ZULU

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Paying supporters also get unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app.

    Riddim Killah is really my FIRST album.
    Sure there are three other releases floating around out there, but this is the one where I feel that I finally got it right.

    Whereas I used to sell albums on the streets so long ago, I figured I would not try that with this one. It is a strange thing realizing you have outgrown an enterprise. You must actually hate what you once were, in order to progress.

    I have to thank Sharlene Oshiro for doing the distribution; also Manatee Records, Bryan (Dose) O.D. , Dave Leonard and DJ Shakin Melodiz for hooking things up throughout the world.

    Sharlene recommended the album for a 2006 Hawaii Music Award, and it won! So you know..... she is definitely a Boss.

CHORUS Cop That, Don't Say No, Cop That (You know you want it) Some youth try act funny, Rap money no crack money, work money no nerd money, we sufferin' from the... misconception that running from de police is an occupational plus There aint no schoolin' us This time we get wise on the hustle Stereotype, we all about trouble, .45 with a scope on the muzzle takes a back seat to the Don's hired muscle. What dem know about keeping dem hands clean when bad things are happening to your enemies? The bad things me a do will fully never see the light of a verse. Me come ten times worse. CHORUS Flirt with desperation to fill we mouth, Rudeboy we no fear that's what we all about, Na left fi de hard knocks reality Get de dollars we want that by any means Get the scope and clap the lock quickly, Don't put your life on the line we wan stay jiggy, Get your hands up, Don't make a move from me, Bad man we no care we want the blood money CHORUS

To make a million, that aint no thing, but the question is… How can you keep it clean? You see? Dem want you rot inna jail about 200 years Two uncles shot down in cold blood, I can feel the tears, Me know the way to the top don't have no thug appeal, This hustlin' not going stop till I'm Elysian Fields. CHORUS We taking over the game, If you don't know you better ask somebody (So get ya mind right) You talk that killa shit, me tell you truthfully, killing is bad for business It's better that you be done in a car accident, that way my hands are clean I'm at your funeral with a thousand dollar wreath But there's no profit in beef… an otherwise running smooth operation Caught up inna de controversy, and dealing with these police will make you Long for the days of eternal money, and everlasting peace Not sure if you realize just who you're dealing with, you run that B S with us We get it over quick We've come too far now to quit, so either we'll handle it like gentlemen, Or we'll get into some gangster shit. CHORUS Me tell you truthfully, I don't like talking you see. Me na go tell you one word Without my legal team. With every stroke of the pen I have to think about The statute of limitations when it's running out. But you go ahead tricking off all that game on dem tracks, What it be essentially Is like you snitching on wax This is for my dogs in the pen. Yea we doin' it for them, I got some guys in the FED They wouldn't appreciate that.

Man tell you, seh CHORUS "Everybody jump up. Let me see you jump up. It's My World" REPEAT Nuff man come with them big mouth chat, bout dem all a bad man, and bust gun shot. It's like them find pure happiness giving the people dem another problem. Hypocrites are what we call them. Talk them shit but really can't do a thing at all, Them don't know just who them a deal with... Real bad mon gonna make you feel it. Badman don't leave evidence, you dead and me say self defense. Or better yet, get my lawyer dem fi tell the people say that on the night of the incident. Me never left my residence, so the charges are nonsense. Don't sweat no case, and the jury say me innocent, so who the hell you a fight against? CHORUS Run go tell your friend (jump up) Equal rights again (jump up) Rich and poor alike (jump up) Asian Black or White (jump up) Gunman and thief (it's my world) Crooked Police (it's my world) Full time them know We run the streets Right now my name is misery, looking to love some company, with the young ladies, and not no controversy with no politician or no damn police. Prime Ministers and Presidents.. If a corruption you present, You goin' burn in effigy.. Exile away like refugee. Show and tell the people dem want but it really depends now what the people dem upon, because the Zulu no mind pretend pure vagabond, if dem gwan with ignorance. Step up please a limited time, and we're giving a glimpse around the curtain behind where the magic takes place to open their minds, but you have to take the chance. This sound it come harder than the wickedest dance right now, it's more dollars than the biggest advance right now, you get madder because we come with the plan. The program get the whole a de youth paid. Zulu Mon just holla when you see me a chat right now. Don't hate cause we're bigger than that right now. What's best for the good of the people everywhere? Man tell you, seh CHORUS I'll keep it light next time. Next time if you just jump up, you won't have to wear those chains no more. REPEAT CHORUS
