Slay rhymes at playtime 6, 7, 8, 9, won’t due I say dime lines These perfect 10s murder men when I use vowels You barely move bowels how you gonna move crowds I move brows off of faces with these knuckle heroes With raw beef for all peeps that want to come in here though Because only burner you got is made by Panasonic Everything is wrong with your song what made you bamas want it Couldn’t have been worse might as well had had Hammer on it But look at this handsome product and you’ll say goddamn he’s got it Often my girl would say, “You think your rhymes are hot or something” I’d say not for nothing but I know they is I’m a pro at this sweetheart. Get open when the beat starts Trying to get the mic from me is like trying to rape She-Hulk Don’t be foolish school kids you don’t want that Hate all you want your girl’s saying “Ooh pump that! That’s my song!” Hook Verse 2 Beating me won’t happen like Sharpton going natural From perm to an afro. You get served in a battle Observe how I baffle these turds when I dazzle With words that’ll grapple get hurt for your babble Alert the Big Apple! MD cats is coming through Putting my state on the map’s a fraction of what I’m-a-do I’m a real MC we got enough actors Front with tough tactics get your stuff fractured (Calm down little guy) You ain’t so tough bastard So young so angry damn these thug rappers (Damn!!!) But I got love for street cats Till we confuse hard with ignorant acts Then write ignorant raps. Me getting with that, is a no-no The drug dealers be using hip-hop for free promo (Oh no!!!) Another underground rappers hating Difference is I’d probably rip the kid you thought was blazing Amazing is an understatement I was born to do this It’s a fact stepping to me’s a tad more than stupid It’s like trick or treating in Jew communities as Hitler Look in the mirror loser. Look at me winner! Even you can understand that, it’s idiot proof Spitters like you cripple the youth I’m a chip off the old block, you about to catch a chip in your tooth Deaf people wouldn’t want hearing if they had to listen to you!

Come back when you’ve found where your brain is at I’ll maim and slap everyone of you flaming cats I’m a maniac. You’re a slave to the system Tried to play hero I made him a victim Quick to back down sit your ass down You front too much play the background! Hook Hook 2 Verse 3 So many people flagrantly hating me. Why are they mistaking me For someone sweet as bakeries Foolish pride or just bravery? Hell! Flip a coin once again it’s on I treat the shit like porn and stick dick to poems Fuck your verses up and never call back Just hit it ‘cause I was bored you were never all that But I’ll give it to you baby like the late great Rick… …James bitch!

Flows through your Veins. And sooths your Pain Verse 1 I float like a hovercraft sting like a stun gun I’m the type of MC savages run from When you’re dead and gone we’re gon’ hunt down your kinfolk Ripped nuff’ spots kept mics as mementos The world’s ass backwards that’s why they keep their shit in I let it all out sharing with who ever listens Domo arigato to my Tokyo massive Big up to Brooklyn and the cats I went to Pratt with (Save the best for last kid) No doubt, fa’sheezy Wouldn’t be here without Maryland, DC… And VA. So I rep for them until my D-Day Without a shadow of doubt, or hint of hesitation Infinite and beyond is our final destination Trying to eat without reservations I doubt it Whether joints by Chew-Fu pr joints Hyde Out did Curtains if I use it.

Airbrushed pics? Cross-dressing? What to make of it? When did thug rappers become high maintenance? Pardon me, if I find your silly raps laughable And disagree when you say my rhymes aren’t factual Grew up in the streets with most of you cats Just I didn’t fall victim to most of the traps Now I’m suppose to be wack ‘cause I ain’t busting a gat And don’t be making videos out exploiting us blacks It’s more than a rap. But, thoughts that’ll teach the blind Doing my thing like Krang when I speak my mind To reach my kind and many others Ultra V. They don’t want it with any of us. We gotta be (Dope!) Hook

Let Me Stay 04:31
U.V. Ink Ope Entertainment T-Dot Substantial We in the building. Tell you a little story. Listen up, peep. Check it out. Verse 1 There was no other way to word it. It would appear That youngin’ right was the closest to thing perfect I had laid eyes on. It was after a show And what do you know baby girl’s feeling my song Never mad at that she was nice on the eyes Would give anything to rub ice on her thighs And count her goose bumps. Try to tickle her fancy Ol’girl was so fine I’d let her call me Stanley (Whoa!) Yeah I know right! Far from Snow White Black queen just graduated from Grambling On a late summer night we were on her stoop chatting About her future plans and my usual rap thing Seems she felt the vibrations minus the sex toy (but was scared) ‘Cause in the day she was played like Metroid I understood that but understand this You know I couldn’t walk away with just a damn kiss so I said… Hook (Hey baby let me stay) How that sound to you? (Hey baby let me stay) Baby girl what trying to do? (I don’t care what you’re friend are about to say.) They can say what they want but I can’t front I’m trying to get down with you Verse 2 Fast forward fireworks (shit!) I thought I saw the A-Bomb But couldn’t see this chick was as volatile as napomb She said she loved me, I still wasn’t sure yet But she said she knew from the night on her doorstep And she knew that moment was something she never forget I provided her warmth she couldn’t get with Gore-Tex All that from little old me (Hold on) Love you don’t really know me (What’s wrong) I was thinking out loud didn’t mean to offend you Honestly I’m lucky to be friend you. ‘Cause you… Yet to show me something that I didn’t like. Though… The face you made a second ago, was kind of psycho But everybody eyes bug out now and then. It’s nothing. Why’s her eyebrow twitching again? She bugging! Love chill! I’m not going to leave you. You fell for me in a night, that’s hard to believe boo Pump your breaks baby. Lets let this thing simmer love And spin some more time ‘fore we pick it up Damn! Shit’s getting out of hand should’ve known. Let me get my keys So I can take you home. She don’t want to be alone so she said… Hook (Hey baby let me stay) Baby I don’t know? (Hey baby let me stay) Maybe you should go? (I don’t care what you’re friend are about to say.) Let me get to the point so I can break it down to yall… listen up. Verse 3 Damn! Shit got out of hand Hit it twice, third strike put me in an ambulance Let me back track… so you can get the whole story And show you when and where it went wrong with shorty. The more I got to know her it was like overexposure ‘Cause star… was short a few cookies in her jar And the scar on her heart and mind technically no fault of mine But I wasn’t helping with my endless quest for more behind But I really dug her. Could’ve even loved her If it wasn’t for the fact she had stalker potential Didn’t take much to see she’s possibly mental Broke in my crib I had to start locking windows Thought one of my sisters was my mistress Snuffed me, then beat my sister half bloody That’s cruddy the situation’s past ugly It’s a damn shame what she did to that puppy Got an order of restraint then she snuck in back of me Bash me with a bottle till the damn glass cut me Now I’m bleeding getting stomped to the ground Then she says by the way I’m dumping you now All from a girl who’s pops wasn’t around Now I’m calling 9-11 hoping cops come around When they finally show up… I’m laying on the curb As they put the cuffs on her last words that I heard were… Hook (Hey baby let me stay) Not a chance in hell! (Hey baby let me stay) Girl you going to jail! (I don’t care what you’re friend are about to say.) See, see, see that shit right there Now I know your ass crazy. Those aren’t my friends those are the damn cops! Cops! Crazy! (Hey baby let me stay) Hell away from it here! (Hey baby let me stay) You gotta go my dear! (I don’t care what you’re friend are about to say) My friends don’t wear blue. And walk around with billy clubs, hitting crazy girls upside their head!

Watch the crowd not say a word Though I’m easily one of the nicest that you never heard When I spit these bars Some people said it wouldn’t Get me far, but time will tell if rhyming well Will get me put on a label allowing me to put Food on the table and maybe the chance to learn ya While some of my so called competition be on a ma- terial mission kicking fiction that don’t concern ya I’m out to earn ya respect and see a little cheddar Like some of these other fellas regardless to what they tell ya Because the revolution need funding No time for any of yall who be fronting We hop obstacles then struggle on til we Stop cop pistols from busting on Men of color round the globe and ya know I’m down to flow Till my town will blow MD to the fullest Did you hit a pound of dro saying that it wouldn’t happen Sun you sounding slow need to pick up the pace I’ll give you a taste of many displays that’s missing these days You kids get disgrace in plenty of ways… Hook My Flow is F-L-U-I-D (Fluid) F-L-U-I-D (Fluid) There really ain’t nothing to it I do it so easily That these emcees turn green with envy I’m simply Repeat Hook Verse 2 This rhyme juggler smothers your ears with stuff that appears To be nothing but sheer pleasure to the inner soul If it’s cold I’ll bless ya with something far from boring That’ll get your earth hot you can call it global warming Yo I’ve never served rock only dope I’ve ever pushed Came in the form of audio I’m fresher than Kush Incense with the sentence that I’ve concocted You brag on your gun but lack the know how to cock it You’re S-T-U-P-I-D stupid! Yall be spreading hate like the counterpart of cupid We bombard through it with positive energy That harming my enemies you can’t shatter my inner peace I get fatter in minutes B I’ma keep flowing Fluid! You drown in the sound keep going Beats keep me open I keep the speech potent Keep you p’noid when I get that glow like Leroy Hook Repeat Hook Verse 3 You are now witnessing rare form going into overdrive You can sleep I open eyes with bulky pliers flows get fired Like their rhymes were wrote on pink slips I think quick when ink drips You’re scared to innovate your rhymes softer than pink lips I’m harder than an armadillo shell Too much drama hit you armor make you want to kill yourself Feeble minded use to have knowledge of self Then we were blinded by this thug talk and jewels Need to rewind it get our third eyes in focus So kids can quote this the real will notice That this is dopeness and anything else Can remain on the shelf it ain’t about it’s all about Mental health and cultural innovation Brought with no hesitation for our hip-hop nation Thank you for your time to the gals and guys that listen Now but it on a plate and eat it till the itus kicks in Hook Repeat Hook Finale Shift gears gimme the mic and I’ll give fear Venomous strikes that Hits ears fearsome the Questluv of eardrums Hear none worthy of repeating hear some Worthy of a beating here comes the dirtiest of heathens I’m a cordless mic wire A flat tricep white text on white flyers The invisible man invincible Stan all praise due Got you switching your plan call phase two As if you had the graf artist number on speed dial Verbal swordsmen warden incarcerate freestyles Written or off the brain get engulfed in flames On some Harriet Tubman shit off the chains!

Verse 1 Yeah I do this for the love of the music But it never hurts to get a little something to do it Especially when these dummies getting paid out the ass And those nicest at it aren’t really making no cash Youngins’ getting signed labels raping they ass And those I once respected have been making some trash People think that pure hip-hop has taken a dash When all along I’ve been keeping it safe in the stash For a rainy day and it’s been pouring for years The culture has suffered I’ve been ignoring her tears Now I’m fighting for her through expression of self And I fight for my fam at times getting no help (but I keep at it) At times my story it may seem tragic But I change to miracle man you thought you’ve seen magic ‘Cause they’ve never seen a struggle so beautiful It’s my everyday this is nothing unusual Hook This is more than street shit This is if I don’t make it we won’t eat shit people need this More than rapper rhyming to the beat shit Life reenacted on disc repeat this Repeat Hook Verse 2 Been rhyming over a decade far from rich But I’m blessed to get paid from the bars I spit Ironic because the microphone I never thought to grab it At least I turned this art form to a self supporting habit Still broker than a mofo can’t live off show doe Thank God I can draw or there goes my logo Gotta be another way ain’t got the doe ‘cause So I’m force to do it all like one half of L.O.T.U.G. Pay someone to do what I’m doing man for what But the constant grind I’m on will make a man go nuts Playing phone tag with these cold ass executives To the point I barely have time to call my relatives Free time negative it’s like I gotta schedule it Deep ‘cause at times I forget I to sleep Feels like time wasted when on your grind face it This shit here has never been for the weak How would you know if you never been in the streets Blocks hot to the point that it singes our feet When dawn cracks it’s on black though I tire Early bird gets the worm and sores much higher Hook Verse 3 Write my own rhymes you ain’t telling me nothing Cover designs mine also sick with production But this heat you’re hearing is that of Suede Jury Illustrating my pain to the track he made for me What can you say to me, you ain’t understanding me Pressing my own CD’s and cutting the covers manually Chop and bagging that quality product Just for cats to download it gotta be my luck Youngin’ do you know how much I paid for this My paper’s outta here like VHS and Laserdisc Broke and forced to promote online But the dudes I grew up with don’t go online So the one’s that need to hear it most don’t know I exist Meanwhile hip-hop music is going to shit Gotta eat before I starve and my ribs is showing But that’s what you get when you live for flowing Hook Repeat Hook

Verse 1 You want things similar to a quick fix ‘Cause you’re known to stay all in the mix like twix sticks You want sick whips & thick chicks to ride with ya A tight squad that’ll fight hard and die with ya You rhyme because you want to get put on badly So you can stack paper taller than Sean Bradley You want nice clothes platinum and white gold Sprinkled in diamonds my how the ice glows You like hoes you hit with ease eager to please ‘Cause you type swole and getting cheese and you emcee So life’s a piece of cake and sweeter than new coochie Until it throws you a curve and now you look like Pookie What happened?!? Too busy living for today Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed but be prepared anyway So you’ll have a little something if it shows up Don’t wanna see you hit rock bottom and go nuts Watch these loose booty broads ‘cause the next chick That you sex with could lead to your exit If you must ride the fast lane be sure to buckle up Chasing what you want don’t even realize when you’re fucking up Hook (I know what you want) Yes indeed but I’d rather give you what you need (I know what you want) 4) Though this is true only you really know what’s best for you… right??? (I know what you want) 6) Yes indeed but I’d rather give you what you need (I know what you want) (So what you what you what you want) Verse 2 You want a baller girl who’ll promise you all the world And everything between with many pretty things that gleam Pull up at clubs on dubs pushing his fast car Too late to break your hearts speeding like Nascar It’s amazing what chicks be shaking their ass for You’re just material girls like Madonna Fronting like virgins when dudes be splurging She certainly leaves pockets and hearts hurting This person wants a lot with nothing at the table That she brought expect a pretty face & fables But I can’t be mad youngin’ in that’s all she know She never got the proper guidance that she need to grow She thinks that money is the only thing she need him for That’s all she need to know if she got her paper right Heavy to us but baby girl thinks it’s light Until she finds it hard to look at her own face at night You need a man that loves you for the beautiful person you are Too many in the past abused and hurt you leaving you scarred And they disregard the seed they planted in you Now your heart has harden and you plan to get loot I truly nowhere you’re coming from girl no doubt But don’t forget you’re only gonna get what you throw out Don’t miss a good thing to prove you’re bad There’s a better way girl just choose the path Hook

about

“Sacrificial Lambs” is a compilation of songs cut from the highly anticipated new album “Sacrifice”. Substantial first started work on “Sacrifice” in 2001 so, these songs span 5 years. Not every song on this release was cut because of what it lacked, some were cut because of issues between Substantial and the producer(s) and other issues that came about.

Raw rhymes + quality production = A Great Hip-Hop Album! Buthere’s the catch, Sacrificial Lambs is “…an album, it’s just not the album”, as Substantial states in the intro of this top notch project. Basically, it’s a collection of songs cut from his release, Sacrifice. This is an upbeat, and at time dark project, with enough knock to have fans reaching for the nearest neck brace. Sacrificial Lambs is clearly a cut above the average hip-hop release.
