    Figure Of Speech

    by: Kmd

    [Zev Love X-Talking]
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, Imma set it off, Imma set it off soft
    And smooth, and smooth, yo, yo, listen to this groove.
    ? and it's about to move me, yeah, yo ?
    [Zev Love X]
    I start it off with an answer, love smokes no cancer stick
    But on a dancers dick, there's a romancer of a rhyme text
    Time check timex, timeout, I'm X, for silence it's signex
    ? one what one did lesser one hundred
    Since duckets is under it, the cause stays funded
    Time says disperse the necessary to trigger release
    More verses and speeches from X this figure of speech
    (You are nuthin but a) figure of speech
    [Zev Love X]
    Yeah..
    Verse two is picked up freeze stay frozen
    Reaches a stick up, while exhale blows in
    Peoples get sick up said as vapor goes in
    Suggested is hiccough, while I hold a rows in my fronts
    Once in go, see Sub for info
    Fee is the lingo, sixteen gets in though
    Dance til toenails ingrown
    Skeezin props, I send note for jimbo is bricko
    Every wind blown
    Sounds are boomin, emcees shouts doom is
    In the house after one, two'in
    ZL needs a nuprin
    Driftin like driftwood I ask if could
    Stay away from stiff hood
    So does R.I.F. Productions write up songs quite clever
    But light up a torch pipe R.I.F. will never
    I'm no snuff head I prefer headsets
    Decided nuff said for head sweats
    X, this figure of speech
    (You are nuthin but a) figure of speech
    (You are) figure of speech
    (You are X)
    (You are nuthin)
    [Zev Love X]
    Remain in a frenzy
    Stay craze as I pause in ya Benzy
    Then reach in haste to taste
    A sip of this throttle in a bottle
    Then shake ya hip but don't slip into follow
    The motto goes: sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll
    I prefer: love, hugs and hip hop soul
    And that's final, down to the sto'
    Cause is on vinyl
    So be sure to dub these sounds of a b-boy
    But X ain't no also ain't no decoy
    For KMD paints no
    Pigeoned as I talk drink free from a ?
    Image of a walking stick from a Mack Dad
    Wouldn't you rather dwell among those liable
    To rock well with tongues and stay tribal?
    Well in 80 dekka I'm extra hard to reach
    But I'll be expectin ya, says X, this figure of speech
    (You are nuthin but a) figure of speech
    [Zev Love X]
    Have a crooked letter humpback each
    Let the panter peach style screech
    Then skid through the sounds of earth tones
    We've grown
    (The Barber Subroc and The Birthstone Kid Onyx)
    Place of rest is Dooms (re-womb) we loopty toon
    And add a sonic kick Boom
    A dash of this then up next, last but not least
    Is Zev Love X, this figure of speech..haha
    [Zev Love X]
    (..You are) figure of speech
    (You are nuthin but a) figure of speech.
    (You are X..)
    (You are nuthin but a X...)
    (...You are X)
    (..You are nuthin but a X)
    (...You are X)
    (..You are nuthin but a X)
