CHORUS (DJ Coco-Z)
VERSE ONE
Off top I’mma rock the Casbah
Harder than a vulcanized Vulcan
During Pon Farr
Off top with the concrete cock
Brian Grimm
Ain’t no use in trying him
Find your favorite local rapper
Guess who’s supplying him?
Off top I’mma make shit known
Get ya head flown when my flow
Come off the top of the dome
You know you broke so
You might as well leave it a loan
Off top is where you pick the cherry off
My school was across the street from Halle Berry’s y’all
On a side note
I myself am not a star
I’m just a dope MC without the fly car
Off top with the whipped cream
Don’t fuck with my whole team
Or get that ass whipped
Without split screen
Off top, not the middle, or the bottom
If I ain’t the solution
Then it’s a motherfucking problem
CHORUS
VERSE TWO
Off top I should read the disclaimer
Portions of the following broadcast
Contains cliffhangers
You should be fully aware that
I come with head bangers
Never change up
Who that dude sparking a lot? (me)
Who that dude barking a lot? (you)
If I’m waiting “get away” in the parking lot
Then I’m getting my cut off top
Ain’t no need to scoff pop
Beastie with the sure shot
It’s easy to find my soft spot
Even though my exterior hard as a rock
Ain’t no bargaining ock
And he charging a lot
Get in line like rollerblades
When I reminisce about the older days
Smoother than Pete Rock
When he in the boss spot
Making executives jaws drop
Tell ‘em my bottom line is all stock
Catch me somewhere logging the plot
If there’s food, I’m hogging the pot
Off Top!

CHORUS
VERSE ONE
Back in the day of the
Sega Master System
Mega Blasters with the
Straps attached and hittin
Hip hop music was thumping
And pop music was bumping
It was probably
1980 something
I was a baby, a youngin’
Across from Luke Easter Park
Where all new beef could spark
Sidewalks routinely chalked
Yet I remained oblivious
Everyday the same frivolous
Actions
Yo, them niggas is packing
Poster child for sickle cell
Live with Robin Swoboda
Hair slicked and cute as hell
Trying to maintain composure
Two blood transfusions later
Life’s illusions appeared to be greater
I was slated for adventures
That would predate the misses
Kindergarten is when
I found out I like women
I significantly remember
That being an independent decision
Young Brian Adams, baby man
Not to be confused with the Canadian
Before my parents divorced
And decided who got the waterbed
After standing in court
They had daughter instead
CHORUS
VERSE TWO
People are all types of...grimy, cousin
It was probably
1990 something
You could find me
In elementary school
Minding my business
Never been no fool
Breakfast sausage
With the biscuit
Grades good
Fade good
With the part on the side
In high school
It was more like Jekyll and Hyde
That was the time
When B-No Good came to life
Gentleman, behold
I never seen such a disgusting sight
Nevertheless a glimmer of light
I started to manifest
Becoming a man I guess
The pen and the pad
Helps me confess
The Paralyzer
Helped inspire
The hip hop skills
That I acquired
And my Dad
Always had
The funky rhythm
In my head
So I started making beats, too
Pretty neat, dude
Changed crews
Like I change dungaroos
This ain’t nothing new
Hip hop ain’t just something to do
Expressing yourself is cool
Disrespecting the vets
Is similar to not protecting your neck
CHORUS (2x)
VERSE THREE
Graduated high school
And you couldn’t tell me nothing
It was probably
The year 2000 something
I was wilding for nothing
Body count getting ridiculous
The college life
Without a wife
On campus
Infinite years and shit
But beauty caught my eye
And my heart took flight
I believe it was during ID night
Sneaking drinks
Trying to see something pink
But this woman wasn’t led
So easily
In the back of my head
I always knew
She was a queen to me
First real interaction took place in the studio
And ever since then
I always knew we could grow
Staying focused on my music
Maintaining and never losing it
Was one of the single most
Important things that I could do in this
World traveling frequencies
Of eighty-nine point three
BNG from CLE
44 signed my CD
This was before I worked
At Scene Magazine
You had to see
Some of those staff parties
But that’s a story
For another chapter, probably
They’ll be no one after
Who could rock a party
As wholeheartedly
Snatched the college degree
And the hotty
It’s me

VERSE ONE (B-No Good)
Yo soy B-No Good
Me voy Hollywood
For a far less bougie life
I done went ahead and
Married me a foreign wife
You live a boring life
Always complaining
Instead of maintaining
The delicate balance
With benevolent talents
Your irrelevant habits
Brings malevolent status
Meanwhile I’m dancing
Tribal rhythm
He got survival in him
Even the rivals feel ‘im
If the pride don’t kill ‘em
I munch the cooch
But I don’t touch the hooch
I slang-a-lang
But I don’t bang-the-thang
I’m aboutta have a fit
Up in this place
As long as she can move
The same way
While she sit on my face
Chi-Chi on the bass
Pescado on my plate
I rep CLE
And never hesitate
BRIDGE (B-No Good)
You have entered the pleasure place
Feel the connection
Through treble and bass
Infinite sexes
No focus on race
Every direction
Keep moving your waist
CHORUS (D-Tellz & Janey Bloggins)
You have entered the pleasure place (8x)
Intense seconds of love
Sex magic
Orgasmic (2x)
VERSE TWO (B-No Good)
Hot damn
This the jam
I got the peanut butter
Dance like you mean it brother
Twerk like you mean it sister
Until you catch a blister
A callous or something
This ballad is bumping
Asses are jiggling
Laughing and giggling
Causally sinning and
Massively chilling
That’s why you grilling
Mug on mean
Your woman left the scene
Nothing to do with me
On the far side
There’s otha fish in the sea
Earth is mostly water
So go on out there
And make a mermaid daughter
It’s a beautiful thing
When your cuticles clean
And your nose too
Cuz you doing what you
Supposed to do
Making decisions
T-C-B means
Taking Care of Business
These are words
From C-Low’s grill
I’m not from Brazil
But I am for riz-eal
CHORUS
VERSE THREE (D-Tellz)
Ass moving
Music pumping
DJ cutting
Grinding something
Kama Sutra
From Sri Lanka
Casablanca
Dirty manga
Ride that beat, get in yo zone
Party ’til the speakers blown
Harmonies to your delight
Melodies that change your life
VERSE FOUR (Janey Bloggins)
Tight embrace
Caress my face
Hips to brace
Infinite space
Cosmic love
Fly above
Come with me
Let us see
Oh baby
You and me
Let’s make it three
___________
Share with me
The pleasure place
Inside me
Infinitely
CHORUS

VERSE ONE
Vernacular fly
Like Angela Rye
Gimme my slice
Of the star-spangled pie
Shit, a talking head
Don’t make me fed
So I could careless about
What another man said
Are you kidding
This track hitting
Like Lonnie Chisenhall
Not cocky
But get the balls
They wanna lock me
Inside of a prison wall
Some like me
Some resent
Check out the new Nike Cements
Or Adidas Shit Kickers
Explore your Milky Way
With a Big Dipper
I’m just swifter
An easy picker upper
Get the Swiffer
And I’m clean
When I deliver
On the scene
And I remember
Them pissy hallways
Like they were yesterday
Recording verses on cassette tapes
Momma always had the best plate
The success rate
Of an inner city child
Is best left to fate
Like every step I take
Pondering, wandering by the lake
My brain’s tectonic plates
Might make the planet shake
BREAK
VERSE TWO
I spit magma
Verses that cause fantasma
Might splash ya
With hot lava
When I’m hot and bothered
Yo rhymes is hot garbage
And it’s Thursday
My words spray
In the worse way
How much more can the planet take?
Burning River
You know the rhythm
Chemical imbalances
Causing friction
Hit you with boom bap addiction
Please don’t be mistaken
This ain’t rehabilitation
This is just an invitation
To an unknown sensation
Destination stimulation
Flicking that little bean
I’ll cripple your gentle team
Condition critical when you leave
Have you begging for a reprieve
You know how bold thugs get
I’ma shit gold nuggets
When this is over with
Been sober since
Twenty-twelve October twenty-fifth
On that fateful day
My life was almost taken away
I safely can say
Corporations are not our saving grace
Where’s Tim Misny at?
I’m boutta make they ass pay
BREAK
VERSE THREE
Let me show you what I know
Baby, bend down low
I’m all about the Naruto
With the flying fish roe
It’s Brian in this hoe
Cool with dudes
That’s liable
To have you
Lying on the flo’
Ain’t no crying no mo
I was only two years old
When I saw the Challenger explode
Trek was the best
And Battlestar Galactica, I’m told
Do the fool
Without the fucking jester
Brian Addams with the two “ds”
Duking it out with Uncle Fester
Busted a Move
As a young MC
Recording booth in the living room
Hard truth, we are living proof
That mental thoughts become physical
Always original lyrical
From Elyria to Lorain
Straight delirium on your brain
I got songs to get your rocks off
Aren’t you glad you came?
Death to innocents
Is equivalent to a million shames
Forget the news headlines
Remember to say...their...names
BREAK

Cheese Sauce
03:13
|

CHORUS
It should come as no surprise
I want cheese sauce with the fries
This life might be my demise
I need cheese sauce with the fries
Make sure you get the large size
I want cheese sauce with the fries
Time to re-up the supply
I need cheese sauce with the fries
VERSE ONE
Having a Green River soda
With some green in the bowla
It’s the mean ayatollah
Making sure he meet the quota
Smoking on gas
But this oil ain’t crude
Knock you straight on yo ass
Pass it back, don’t be rude
It’s magic how I flow
I got y’all gathering
It’s tragic when
A wack MC
Pick up the mic
Now they cashing in
I’m having whatever she’s having
Smashing a polish boy
With a pop not a soda boy
Hit ‘em with the Midwest charm
Don’t be alarmed
He was just raised good
Light up the bomb
Yo, that shit taste good
Blazing the finest hydroponics
But if I had it how I wanted it
Planted in everybody’s back yard again
With no stigma attached
Zero enigma in fact
Flower, tincture and wax
Rolling up bats
And I’m the designated hitter
My mama ain’t raise no quitter
Edwin Enacarnacion
On the bong, bitch nigga
CHORUS
VERSE TWO
You never heard a more absurd line
I rarely hear a verse worth my time
DL dipped the beat in turpentine
It’s the black panther
With enough THC in me
To attack cancer
It’s like Attack on Titan
How these rappers be biting
Government spying
As I’m writing this
Reciting this dopeness
No Hope Floats shit
Chick flick
Get hit with
Random lyrics
That blast your spirit
Fantastic isn’t it?
The metaphysical flow
From an original scope
With an articulate host
Who always doing the most
I’m a shoe-in fasho
So let my crew in the do’
And let the show begin
The ringmaster
Of disaster
With this flow we win
Prepared fresh for you
Lyrics cooked to order
Watch the rhythm get chewed
Keep crossing the border
Do what’s best for you
Fuck if society disagrees
Gimme fries and a variety of cheese
CHORUS

VERSE ONE (DL)
It’s the return of the muthafucking best to
Ever get slept on more than Lunesta
Graduated top of my class
You short a few semesters
While I studied
You were chasing
Birds like Sylvester
Suffering succotash
That boy in another class
Qualified to do the task
Taking names and kicking ass
I ain’t alone when I’m up in this place
My whole entourage with me
Call me Vinny Chase
Game over when I step up on the scene
Look how far I made it
Off a dollar and a dream
Easy to mistake me
For a spoiled ass teen
The way they talk about
My super sweet sixteen
D Lo flow en fuego
It’s too hot to touch
Kick a verse
And leave the mic
Smoking like a Dutch
I hear y’all haters talking
Tryna ruffle my feathers
It’s cuz deep down
You know that I’m better
CHORUS
VERSE TWO (Sticky)
It’s like I only rap on Sundays
All the people go bananas
The vanilla chilla thrilla
Way too graphic
For your cameras
Blue eyed
Burning River
Paper bag villain
With my blue collar
Blue jean
Blue teared women
Old school killer
Body count to match the credit hours
Bury you
Burn one
Forgetting where I put the cowards
Green thumb butcher
Pop off
Have you pushing flowers
Talk about you in past tense
Toast you every happy hour
Maybe I was raised wrong
Hey, I made it this long
If no one stands above you
Then you’re never getting shit on
Haters wanna act noid
Sweating every factoid
Dream of trading places
With my life like I’m Aykroyd
Lying to yourself
You ain’t jealous when you play this
Pirating my shit
But you ain’t even in my playlist
Profile lower than the count of your turn style
Time equal money, man
This shit ain’t even worth while
Wow
CHORUS
VERSE THREE (B-No Good)
Change the logo
Or I'll scalp 'em
Cleveland Native
Bang the promo
Make you wanna buy the whole album
The way I chief you be like "how come?"
The outcome
Back smack your backwards thinking
Into next motherfucking weekend
Set the agenda
The mind slash spine bender
Too fresh for talcum it's
The Fullmetal Alchemist
MC with a robotic limb
Futurama
Where the cyborgs'll shoot ya mama
Spit chaotic phlegm
In the form of a melodic hymn
Boing Boom Tschak
I'm well krafted
Peace to the blacksmith
I'm going to rock
Cuz it's a habit
And I got the advantage
When I'm burning river rambling
And trampling
Stampede style
Across yo ass again
While you hash tagging
I'm hash bagging, friend
Flow with laser precision
You made your decision
Reached for your belt
But your phaser was missing
CHORUS

Funk Wrap

VERSE ONE
I got several flows
That are immeasurable
Lick you from
Head to your toes
While I’m packing a bowl
With my package on swole
UPS man at your do’
So legit
You gotta co-sign though
BNG run up in it
Like a black rhino
Doing the freakiest shit imaginable
Rocking bucket hats
Way before you even fucked with that
Now y’all back to wearing trucker hats
Fuck is up with that?
This ain’t rap
This my life soundtrack
Got a wife now, Jack
Gotta protect mis hijos
Everybody not amigos
But they sure got an ego
Not a pot to pee though
Guess who’s coming to dinner
The sinner
Snacking on hash puppies
Laughing at you crash dummies
Trying to get cash from me
Expose rappers
Like a stripper’s behind
That’s your ass, money
I got the mad munchies
BNG debonair
Dashing, cunning
Pull out the shillelagh
And give you three lashes sunny
Smashed the buggy
With the force of Lou Ferrigno
Blew the doors right off the crib bro
When you’re drunk
Call a ride
It’s that simple
You got insurance
But it don’t extend to the rental
You should’ve taken a cab, though
Asshole
Now here comes the court hassle
Slash the track with soul
Like I borrowed the zanpakutō
From Ichigo Kurosaki
Peace to Broccoli Samurai
Passed the joint
To the camera guy
Once again it’s B-No LeBeau
Tuxedo fasho
Libido, you know?
Don’t go to the bars no mo’
Don’t try to impress no hoe
Watch where you step lil bro
We got two things against us
We black-n-po’
But I’m black and proud
Not living under a cloud
Or a rock for that matter
Four o’ clock and twenty after
Master your high
The high master
Fly past the finish line
With enough hemp
To corner the market on twine
Cordage and rope
Record it, it’s dope
And smoked to perfection
Remembered my momma’s lessons
Still left with a lot of questions
Nothing is certain
What is the message
Is it written in the stars?
While everyone sitting in the bars
Are you kidding?
There still ain’t no flying cars?
By in large
We should have some better technology
To roam the galaxy
Or maybe we do
It’s just not accessible to me
Until then
I’ll keep flowing exceptionally

100% Juice (ft. .napz!)
03:33
|

VERSE ONE
Fuck your constituent
Got you wondering
What I hit you with
Ridiculous methods
Stay keepin ‘em guessing
Who got the juice?
Listen how he produce
Fresh like Playne Jayne
Dressed like Dwayne Wayne
My love goes bang-bang
Incinerate mics
Eliminate fake types
Obliterate stage fright
And hold your own in a fight
Freedom
Even if we gotta bleed ‘em
Defeat ‘em by any measure
Through the ballot or legislature
Patients over profits
In layman’s: just stop it
If you don’t like my language
Then drop it
Switch topics
Come equipped with logic
If you ever try to pop shit
Argumentative
‘Cause it’s hard for you to listen
Independent studies have shown
You better watch yo damn tone
Kick raps and stand alone
Even if I have to hambone
Open mindedness
Pass it along
Explosive rhyming shit
BNG equals TNT on ya dome
CHORUS (.napz!)
Highest dose possible
We got the juice
Sicker than your favorite hospital
Double deuce
Know the truth
Land owners throwing stones
Thinking absolutes
Persons make people
Like a seed to a root
VERSE TWO
Fuck your elected official
Who represents the individual?
Now its profits over patients
Stock options and residuals
It’s getting critical
System overload
Print the money
Until it ain’t no more
Paper on the roll
You’s a wack commentator
I’m a smooth operator
Nintendo versus Sega
The alpha omega
That scalped ya
No brainer
Chief Native Clevelander
No one is an Indian
Unless they come from India
So send me a
Postcard
Next time you’re in Mumbai
I hate to be the gloom guy
But we’re all soon to die
Come back and live a thousand lives (2x)
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
Fuck Donald Trump
He can swallow nuts
The elephant in the room
Who embellishes the truth
If you voted for him
Fuck you too
Most politicians
Need a lot of fixing
Including those donkeys kicking
White supremacist honkey bitches
Took all the riches
And left us with sickness
If I...
Identify as Chickasaw
I’m still a nigga to y’all
Damn bruh
All these questions with no answers
Like: why is there Viagra?
But no cure for cancer
Or: What’s the reason for the war?
All diseases have a cure
It’s egregious to implore
That we have no resource
Let me get my thinking cap together
I’ll probably be kicking raps forever

Ripped-N-Dipped
04:19

CHORUS
Like a Rip Dip Chevy come on
Like a Rip Dip Chevy come on, yeah, yeah! (4x)
VERSE ONE
I want the booming system
While I’m grooving with the
Super fat joint
Banging a Super Cat joint
Window tint barely legal
Like them teens in pornos
On the screens is pornos
A chick in a flick
With cornrows
And I’m eating while I’m driving
I guess that’s better than
Drinking while I’m driving
Always thinking while I’m driving
Turn the music down to park
Rolling down the boulevard
Where the goons come after dark
Imperial, Kinsman, Miles and Harvard
Pigs in your business, the trials of darker
People...I guess we never gonna be equal
They hate your fucking guts
Behind doors they wanna be you
Cheat you
Every chance they get
Beat you
Like a punk ass bitch
Every rhythm that you hear
Damn near came from Africa
I’m in the rip dip Chevy
Motherfuck your Acura
CHORUS
VERSE TWO
We call it the jump out
Because all of us jump out
Pumps out
And you don’t wanna see what dumps out
Oh for goodness sake
Look at the crooks today
You shook with bae
That’s why they took the skank
Get hooked and shanked
Over a little bit of stank
Fucked around and took the bank
And yelled “it’s just a prank!”
It’s the jokester supreme
Spokesperson for the team
Closed curtains you can’t see
Now who you ‘sposed to be
Rolling in the Winnebago
Your chick wanna hang though
Even though the car
Has no candy paint yo
Black on black
Is how we campaign bro
Racks on racks
But I’m talking bout the payload
Riding in the something
That resembles the turtle van
Gliding through bumping
Music that’s not in demand
Ay-yo I heard she a fan
Sign up for the newsletter
C-L-E-V-E land
Nobody do it better
(In the rip dip Chevy burning rubber)
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
On my Jim Morrison shit
Swing doors to this
While you riding through the hood
Say hi to B-No Good
This ain’t no Lincoln town car rap
More like the clown car, packed
And we back to back
What you expect
Catch wreck
Much respect
If you bang for your set
But senseless violence
Is not where it’s at
Self defense is necessary
With the wrong commentary
So you better be ready
When you meet your adversary
Stay in your lane
Saying my name
Don’t try to act cool
Be natural
Or that’s when we act a fool
Straight factual
Honesty the best policy
Probably the death of fallacy
I’m rooted in my city
Like Jimmy Fallon be
You mad at me
How I stroll through casually
Actually
I ain’t even trying to stunt, really
I just came through
To share a blunt with you, silly

VERSE ONE (ArreyLee)
Some many ladies have I kissed
Had a threesome
With Indica and Sativa
Oh but this one
She gave a good mind fuck
And deep body high
And so I call her Athena
She said can I
Elevate that mind
Stimulate your first eye
Visualizing timelines
Of sublime vibes
And divine light
Can I get you high?
I am high priestess of her temple
Vesta virgin
Pure and uncertain
To be transcendental
Of men and government
And detrimental environmental
Parthenogenetic
In her I came
To flower, empowered
To wax poetic on this B-No
So unapologetic
In this (church)
CHORUS
VERSE TWO
Grab the mic with mad skills
Dropping shit on your head like anvils
Acme, pack heat...
Talking about the QP in the back seat
Coming back from a country
That don’t even trip about weed
While the US government is still in a frenzy
I’m from a high society
That likes variety
Smoking on rarities
Fuck your racial disparities
Motherfucker I see you
Still arresting my people
For something that’s legal
I might move to Canada
With the mental stamina
Of Jeru the Damaja
You know B snacks berries
Smoke weed daily
Life as long as Lee “Scratch” Perry
Flows vary
Choking the microphone is necessary
Provoking the cyclone is scary
Where do you go when you’re buried?
(Church)
CHORUS
VERSE THREE
Lie, cry, everybody gotta die
Bye-bye, everybody might not fly
But heaven and hell is on earth
Whenever you fail it’s gonna hurt
Whatever you yell better be worth
The time of day
When you rhyme at night
With no limelight
A lime-a-day
Keeps the doctor away
Unless we talking about Doctor J
Windmill helicopter
Keep the boppers away
Top of the morning
Stop all that yawning
You got shit to do today
Gone and wash yo face
And brush yo teeth
Gone and slow yo pace
And fuck that beef
Respect thy neighbor
Bring a joint to savor
And share with a brother
Show ‘em that you really care for another
Sister get tighter than
Tia and Tamara
Infusing weed in marinara
(Chuuch)
CHORUS
