Jon Murdock - No Choices lyrics

Part I [Sample: The Alan Parsons Project] If it's getting harder to face every day Don't let it show, don't let it show Though it's getting harder to take what they say Just let it go, just let it go And if it hurts when they mention my name Say you don't know me And if it helps when they say I'm to blame Say you don't owe me [Intro: Jon Murdock] Yo, check it out, Jon Murdock, 2005 This sh** right here's real serious Love can stop your fear, fear can stop your love Check it out, yo, yo [Verse 1: Jon Murdock] People love the fear that I bring until they feel everything that I create, I can't yield anything Life's a long process, too short to talk nonsense I write with strong concepts and strike at all objects People use the shortcut, I take the long way So I pay more attention to what I saw today The system's washing your mind, don't be drawn away Because that life you lead, could be gone today Hat low, new car, letting your chain swing I ain't putting no one down, I do the same thing And if the cops kick the door I wouldn't change a thing Because I know the consequence of what the game brings I been stressed to the point where I can't think Deep depression, and didn't have a damn thing To call my own until I came up with a plan and sh** Screw my head on tight, ten thousand grams I flip You I know flip that, cell phone to chit chat Your girl I hit that, I'm slipping, where's my sense at? This all material, Murdock's imperial But you know I couldn't sit back and wait for a miracle Long road to glory, short road to shame Saw people fall, saw people gain The plans fell apart so I had to rearrange I'ma let my words direct you to the path I'm meant to take Forever [Hook: Skye Edwards] We always have a choice Or at least I think we do We can always use our voice I thought this to be true We can live in fear Extend ourselves to love We can fall below Or lift ourselves above Fear can stop you lovin' Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you lovin' But it's not always that clear [Verse 2: Jon Murdock] You ain't filthy rich before, dirty poor, you need to journey more Discipline yourself to never lose and you'll convert to old You ever wanted to be, instead of running on streets Thinking you thug with a gun and a T I give the greatest message, I live and take in lessons Learn by the trials and tribulations I was raised in, stressin' Never tooken out by numbers, you ain't brave in weapons Then show a millimeter, that you aim and threaten My life with, you don't even know what life is You look at me like I'm just another white kid Trying to be who you are, I know you're tight kid You can live a thousand lives and never write this I'm at a higher caliber, sayonara challenger Slide inside the lines, I provide the silent silencers Roam around the place where love, fear and violence live Happiness is that within yourself if you acknowledge it A blind man can see more than most of y'all, over all Hip-Hop is more than what you shoot and what you smoking on Originality's something, y'all don't focus on A tight grip to this sh**, is what I'm holdin' strong Like a man hanging from a cliff who's just holdin' on With every ounce of his strength, until his hold is gone People see what they cause, and they know it's wrong Changing the outlook for worse because the dough is long [Hook: Skye Edwards] We always have a choice Or at least I think we do We can always use our voice I thought this to be true We can live in fear Extend ourselves to love We can fall below Or lift ourselves above Fear can stop you lovin' Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you lovin' But it's not always that clear [Sample: Ian Richardson & Richard O'Brien] Is it, done? Oh yes, Mr. Book I have John Murdoch in mind Part II [Sample: Beth Gibbons] Did I, see a moment with you In a half lit world? I'm frightened to believe But I must try If I stumble, if I fall I'm reaching out in this mourning air [Intro: Jon Murdock] Yeah, yeah, yeah Jon Murdock, Foundation 2004, in your motherf**in' area, yo [Verse: Jon Murdock] What the f** y'all cats thinkin'? You must be weirdos like [?] I move quickly, zero to sixty Hypnotist, switch the mix, quick to click in the clip Spit sh**, rapid fire reactions, the magnum'll spit Can't miss the area, [?] move like neo Bust like torpedoes, f** up your ecosystem With the realization Face to face with the faceless, you can feel my hatred 9/11, lyin' in Heaven, rhyme with the reverend In line with the weapon, fly without wings, glide to the session It's a dark city, so you know I talk gritty And walk pretty, take on the best, I got it all in me Running on empty, nothing but time Dominate your head unit banging nothing but mine Laser lens reads the input, soak up the output Focus your outlook, the flow came, the ground shook Your Earth is quaking, legs become unstable From the sickest sh** I brought to the table Counter strike you, strike with the rifle Aimed at the mic booth, your fantasy is final Choose your destination, move with hesitation Lose your reputation, my crew's the best to blaze it Conductive conduction, flow ruptures your function Punctures lungs at sudden [?] down, I'm comin' in Door kicked, wave the four fifth in your office Talk sh**, I'll spark sh**, walk awkward the marksman Cats be setting 'em up, they f** with [?] Hear news through the grapevine, now you a target Tight with the CO, but don't like your PO He's always like, "Hey amigo, ándale mino" Speak the English language, y'all cuddled up with f*ggots I bag 'em, toe tag 'em, blow 'em with the old Magnum Packing Gatling cannons to blast 'em, I keep the mask in the cabinet I'll put your a** in the casket, the flow I mastered [?] fascist You cats get blasted by [?] men, who want the [?] Aston You in a state of deep panic and running circles frantic Abandon ship, abandon the clip, abandon the whip A man with a clique who won't just brandish it A man or a myth, dismantle your clique, I'll handle this sh** Ignite your candles, scramble you quick Try to move, try to duck, try your luck, who you eyein' up? Tie 'em up, sighin' up, X might size 'em up You soft like micro, a mic phones you might blow Cut you up like a light O, ignite the tight flow Move like kamikazes in Nagasaki, copy copy Papi tried to pop me, stop me, block me, co*k the shotty Bang the hammers once I leave the bench Practice my defense and offense, need a park bench, you harmless Can't eliminate me, use size to intimidate me I look back like, "sh**, you crazy, make me," I'm feeling shaky lately Dismantle your counterpart, stand careful in camouflage You look like you a man of God, me, I stand a man apart 2004, Dark City, walk with me, talk with me Jon Murdock, don't want no war with me
