Figured Out

Here's another.  
Prof has does a certain type of song that really sticks out to me, Let Me In, Motor, Mother, Baby Jacob.  He moves away from the partying and revelry toward something calm, sincere, perhaps with some urgency in it.  And it comes out a little again in Figured Out.


It takes a little bit to figure you out,
You're broken, you're flat, you're weak.


He completely slams anyone who is false, pretentious, haughty, etc.


You treat other girls like a piece of shit, you piece of shit!
So obsessed at the top of the clique.


Most of the song he's singing like in A Month From Now, but in Figured Out there are a few lines that he raps.  


It's a high quality piece of work.  Get it here.  Get the whole EP here.

Gold Teeth (lyrics)

Full song

So Atlanta
So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...
So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...

Everybody knows I'ma kill 'em word for word, 
My words organize like a thousand Satan worshipers,
Go to bed hungry, wake up starvin' 
Got an insatiable appetite, i beg your pardon,
Carcinogenic, arson develops a hard one,
MC hard tongue, skateboard car bomb,
Headed up the artery, breathe,
Part of me thinks I should stop but I'm getting paid hourly,
Holy shit, just give me one chance,
Grab the game smash it down and take it to class,
MC juggernaut, heavy as another jock,
Heavy as a levee that New Orleans never got.

So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...
So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...

And it's never been the same since the day that my pops came
Through the back door with his chip shoulder talking,
Put a match to it, see if it lights, see if it turns bright,
See where your kid falls asleep tonight,
And that's the night where your son turns to a beast,
A phoenix, I rise through the ashes, I feel complete
Rub my hands together, put 'em to the flame,
It's cold up here, I guess that's how you learn the game.  (Aahoohh no, no, no)
I'm only one tick away from the cage upstate, where my pops stayed,
I'm only one step away from the space in the page where my pops layed,
So leave me alone I'm at a critical point,
King Kong on the tight rope, something's gotta give, man,
A smart zombie, I'll die young probably.

So Atlanta
So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...
So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...

Don't take, what your hand can't fit, 
I'm in the middle of the circus, make a move you's a bitch (you's a bitch)
I'll pull your skirt up, show the world you're a little girl, put your work up, Ha!
And I wont' play witcha, fill my tank and have your man's brain shipped up,
And shipped out, get the fuck out my house.
All you thug by choice kids know what I'm talkin' about,
I'll work the swagger, miracle blade dagger,
I'm in the manger trying to hold my anger,
Because I'm major (major, major)
Don't mean I'll walk up to pick up and break ya,
I'm not afraid of a lot of shit, beat my psychologist, she claims I'm too monsterous.
I'll take the heat for my actions, I'll probably go to hell while I'm laughing.

So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...
So Atlanta put your gold teeth up, go to Minneapolis where it's cold as fuck, and take that chance, ace that class...

Ahhh-Shhhhh
Yes, Yes, Yes
BP
BP we see you baby,
Minneapolis baby, Atlanta
Whatta do whatta do whatta do.
You said that yourself, (no doubt) don't need no help, (hell no)
35 W shelf
Say, Uuhhnnn-ahhhh, Aah-aggghhh.

Marilyn (lyrics)

Full song
-------------

Yeah,
She can't help it.

She got a fever.
Yeah, she got a fever.
Yeah, she got a fever.
Oh, she's thirsty.
Oh, there she goes again.
Oh, there she goes again.
There she does again.
Ah-oh, there she goes again.
Wo-ah-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh,
Lord help us. (Man, what would you do?)
Wo-ah-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh,
Lord help us.

She has my back like some chiropractor,
we're planning up our parenthood,
Wrapping up the sex, latex, magnum packages.
Man I love you, girl; this here could last forever.
I'll meet your parents, girl; I think you're fascinating.
You could my wake up reason,
In the morning, in the sheets,
And in the evening, eating pizza.
I don't think I'm leaving this one.
The first time when I was in the room when she pissed,
She was drunk and sat down, so I gave her a kiss.
Little sweet miss, made of spice and peaches
Keys, kids, copied, I'm probably on some leashes
"The girl's mine," Until the curtains blow open,
It's her nighttime, and it's poetry in motion.

She got a fever
etc...

She got an appetite for candle light and mattresses,
She can't be pacified, you can't deny she's passionate.
Well I guess so, I'ma have to let go;
Until she calls me then it's back again, presto.
Wax on wax off, red light green light, we can't stop.
Oh, gosh, oh brother.
She got something wrapped around her pinky for a lover.
We usually knock boots at the most of my shows,
But na-na-na, I don't know where the fuck this chick goes.
Yes she is a pro, but I'ma go with the flow.
Who can say they got their own, Marilyn Monroe.

She got a fever
etc...

It's me, and her, and a bottle of rum.
Yo, ho ho ho, let's get drunk.
Let's get together and bump uglies in the sheets.
Like, bump, buh-duh, bump, bump, bump, bump.
Round 1, throw tongue.
Round 2, take your shirt off, spin around the air just like a helicopter.
Round 3, you can take off your bottoms, trust me sweetheart I'm right behind you, no problem.
Round 4 is summin' beautiful man, me and Marilyn rollin' around like we in sand.
It's like I lost my left side, 'cause now I feel all right.
She could be somewhere else tomorrow but she's mine tonight.

She got a fever
etc...

Boop, boop, bee, doo.

Shoot, Shoot, Kill (lyrics)

---------

Here's another.
Here's another.
Shoot, Shoot, murder, kill.
Shoot, Shoot, murder, kill.
Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, murder, kill.
Shoot, Shoot, murder, kill.
Shoot, Shoot, murder, kill.
Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, murder, kill, murder, kill.

Sick sippin' Simalac, I holler, "where the victims at?"
I'll find them in a cipher, and that's where I kill them at.
I kill you rappers, free stylin', y'all the boring version.
And when you die I won't miss you.
I'm not a morning person.
Ah, God damn it I'm good,
I'm that one that climb that ladder, out of the hundreds who could.
I got y'all under my foot, I'll give you bitches six months,
To turn around and copy my shit you posin' punks.
I need to travel often, young prof, battle problem.
I want beef so bad I swore I heard the cattle talkin'.
Offer me your cup, see if I'm real and I can fill it up.
I think you've mistaken me for someone who might give a fuck.
Tag along with the prof, hop in the back seat,
Roll around the city like Rudolph Nasty,
Got a couple of chickens that swallow fastly,
Call it nasty, follow poppy,
I have already been, well you'll never know,
Five star general, Animal, I'll have them all.

Sure it's like a duracell,
Sure it's like a duracell,
Shoot, shoot, murder, kill.
Personnel, everybody, you and him and her as well.
Everybody
Sure it's like a duracell,
Shoot, shoot, murder, kill.
Personnel, everybody, you and him and her as well.

Oh my god, I'm loose on the streets again,
The only question is which house to put the ether in.
I got my daddy in me, I like to start shit,
I put a fire to your complex apartment.
Oh geez, I'm a fly trapeeze,
Easily, breathes, with your fly trap please,
He's Hercules and his mind raps easily to what it's thinkin', could you rewind that please?
Ladies and gentlement, brethren and sisters,
I'm so sick to the point that my wrist hurts.
This is a meat shop, and I'm the butcher, boy.
You're on my list of everything I hate and could destroy.
I rap with gale force, get the fuck inside your homes. 
This ain't sticks and stones, this right here will break your bones.
If you can keep up with me then you're a liar.
Five tracks, four days, mix tape, powderhorn, general kaiser.
I'm Robo-Prof, taller, just about to talk, hawk,
Booties on your carpet, I think I am car sick.

Sure it's like a duracell.
Shoot, shoot, murder, kill.
Personnel, everybody, you and him and her as well.
Yeah my shit stinks, fuck what a bitch thinks, 
I'm like a NHL player up in a kids' rink.
I am too big for this, like a McPlayground, 
I think I'll stomp my white ass back to A-town.
I'll never.........
