    :: LYRICS ::
    VERSE 1
    I can paint a picture with words or just brushes
    Make something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    Cutting up samples while keeping the bass pumping
    Nothing we can't handle I will have this place jumping
    Your tramp on lean, I'd rather have a queen
    Of course I am a king so I can have a dream
    Or be your worst nightmare at war never fight fair
    If our freedom is right there take it by any means
    Learn PEACE from the Gods but I still study violence
    I fight for my serenity if anything challenge
    Write dope on a tightrope trying to find balance
    Build my skill with will plus talent
    Slanger of the rhymes, training young minds
    Painter of the times, Maker of designs
    Sailor of the skies, pilot of the seas
    Baker of the pies, refiner of the dreams
    HOOK
    ...I do it (do it)
    Black of all trades, I do it (do it)
    Put art on a page I do it (do it)
    I do it (do it), I do it (do it)
    Make something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    If you want to do it... do it
    Make something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    If you want to do it... do it
    VERSE 2
    Do it until it’s done and there ain’t nothin’ left to do
    Do it under the sun can tell you did it from your hue
    Doin’ it in the park after dark me & you
    Different type of vibe but I’mma work it ‘til we’re thru
    I’m a mover and shaker,
    Up at dawn, stumble strong
    So my jaw stay about as smooth as sandpaper
    This is for the chance takers, villains gave us lemon
    Now we Lemonade makers don't let any man break ya
    ...We're def the most resilient yall seen bey
    He don't play but highly sought after as teammate
    Nothing I can't do, you should broaden your dreamscape
    Food for thought you should be consuming what we bake
    Teach, cook, write, love, speak good, fight, f**k
    Seek, look, eyes shut, we must rise up
    Often write rhymes, dark skin, bright mind
    Lost winds, fly blind, fortunes I find...
    HOOK
    ...I do it (do it)
    Black of all trades, I do it (do it)
    Shackle my brain can’t do it (do it)
    Won’t do it (do it), can’t do it (do it),
    Made something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    If you want to do it... do it
    Made something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    If you want to do it... do it
    VERSE 3
    How you gonna tell me what I can’t do..
    Sh*t… I probably did it first..
    Ain’t nothin I can’t handle…
    ...Sure as hell can’t do it worse
    So I’mma make it cooler. Add a little flavor
    Take us to the future. Be a little greater
    I ain’t scared to barter, skill more valuable than paper
    Work a little harder put it down and make’em pay up
    ...I lay it down they tell me stay up
    Then every time I turn around they talking ‘bout a pay cut
    Trying to stop a baker who out here gettin his cake up
    Skills surpassing his peers, wondering why I bring race up
    Cuz average got us living under poverty lines
    And good’s only good enough part of the time
    ...And great will make’em hate you from afar
    In the comment section like “Who these niggers think they are?”
    HOOK
    Black of all trades, I do it (do it)
    Carry the world’s weight I do it (do it)
    I’ll be damned if I can’t I do it (do it)
    I do it (do it), I do it (do it),
    Make something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    If you want to do it... do it
    Make something out of nothing ain't nothing to make something
    If you want to do it... do it

    Been listening to the brother Substantial, since 2007. It's officially been 10 years, and his lyrical dexterity, flow versatility, topic creativity, sharp delivery, vast vernacular, and multi syllabic rhyme schemes get better with time. Not only am I a proud Marylander, but I am proud to rep Prince Georges county. PG STAND UP!!!!

    • @SubstantialMusic
      @SubstantialMusic  7 лет назад +1

      Peace fam. Haven't seen your name in a minute. Nice to see you still rocking with me! Salute, PG County!

    • @BoyBlaze2002
      @BoyBlaze2002 7 лет назад +1

      Oh yes, gotta rock with you man not just because you're from PG, but because you're a true divine MC. By the way we're friends on FB, I just go by the name, Ty-Rishard Kidblaze Jones on FB. You actually commented on the status I made about Kendrick Lamar's influence from Andre 3000.

    Happy I stumbled on this video. Love the vibes and the positive message. I'm a hip-hop artist/producer in Baltimore, as well. Check out the joint called "The New America" on my channel - political hip-hop, I think you'll dig it. Let's connect. Keep up the good work!

  • @Maekuhi

    I've always been a fan, but I just came across your channel and immediately subscribed! I'm damn shocked at how underground you still are!
    Anyway, I make beats, check them out if you have the time :)
