She's Back 03:22
(Chorus) She's back - Just to handle her biz She's back - for the sake of our kids She's back - so our people can live She's back - uh-huh uh-uh, BadKat bring it on back... She's back - Just to handle her biz She's back - for the sake of our kids She's back - so our people can live She's back - uh-huh uh-uh, BadKat bring it on back... (Verse) Back out to the building blocks Underneath the falling rocks In the land of hard knocks Cause I'm a shorty wop Back out on the cold streets Pocket full of old beats Rock it till I don't sleep Still keep a forty popped Back up in the runing game Take a sec to peep the name All you cats are still the same Crabbing over photo ops Back up to the starting line Right about the starter time Ain't no other harder kind I got it on lock Back into the driver's seat Banging with a rider beat Got to peak at lava heat You see me on top Back again to face the day Really ain't no other way I didn't come here to play No I don't stop Back here for making moves Half class is other news Might have to break fools Fakers getting chopped Get back until you've left the zone You don't want to test the throne Understand that on is on and Wake you up in post-op Back for another one From the land of shogun With the will of killer hun You bout to get dropped Back but you don't want to go Can't say I blame you bros. I'm sick with the illest flows Make you close shop Back with the bad intent Crush all your whack attempts Tracks are irrelevent You ain't gon' knock Back for the real hitters Man I mean the go getters Golden finger itchy triggers Tell me if you're not Back here to stake claims Undenied and off chain While you're struggling to hang I keep it cold cocked Back down to planet earth Got a plan to put in work Haters try to hide and lurk But I ain't getting blocked Back out in the full moon From the land of dungeon doom Take a step to make room Or get your ass mopped Back just in the nick of time Crossing over boarder lines Me and my book of rhymes Got them moving in flocks (Chorus)

(Bridge) Put your hands up 'cause it's a standing ovation Get your hands up 'cause it's a standing ovation Throw your hands up 'cause it's a standing ovation Man get your hands up to that sky high (Chorus) You get a standing ovation cause your shits whack Throw your hands in the air clap clap clap Twenty-one gun salute cause my shits hot Throw your guns in the air pop pop pop pop You get a standing ovation cause your shits whack Throw your hands in the air clap clap clap Twenty-one gun salute cause my shits hot Throw your guns in the air pop pop pop pop (Verse 1) You're in Danger of leaving here sickly You need to move quickly before you get tipsy Off that rum and Hennessy, better be handling your business g Over those whack ass vibes that you and crew be sending me Better know this that i descended before dark turned to light And all of that energy manifested into the 5 ft 3 shorty That's me, B-A to the D K - A to the T Represent through my flesh the vision of I 3 And I see you looking from across the room I don't mean to come over and have to consume The space in this building between me and you But I'm about to write a final definition to your doom And the only recourse of a time coming soon Is to light your ass up at the chime of high noon (Chorus) (Verse 2) And I'm saying I ain't playin y'all ain't ready for who gotcha Better check your partner looking like biggie pops shot ya I karate chop ya better call an ambulance better yet better call your doctor cause i'm a drop you right in your tracks ain't no turning back, just the simple facts if you front on my team forcing me to react my flows are hard and fast like a rata-tat-tat And that's that - you don't want to go and do this You don't want to get yourself caught up in the wrong twist With the wrong girl who keeps a long hit list When your name's crossed off you've wished your last wish (Bridge) (Verse 3) You can feel the tight grip you sense the tight flow You can think what you want but you already know I may not look like much when I'm on the mic phone But I rock from here to Rome to deep in your zone And this is your last chance to pick up your cell phone Dial up seven digits by touching the touch tone Put a call into your wifey who's sitting at home Have her pick your ass up because you all alone In the wrong time and the wrong place And I hate to be the one to rearrange your face But your attitude is out of line and I've got the taste To squash this beef and disappear without a trace (Chorus) (Bridge)

(Chorus) Stix, stones, bones and bricks Might leave a little mark but ain't stopping shit Nouns, verbs, words and slang Just fuel for my fire - pure strain of octane Stix, stones, bones and bricks Might sting a little bit but ain't stopping shit Nouns, verbs, words and slang Just fuel for my fire - countdown to big bang (Verse 1) Sitting here waiting, meditating in striking distance Waiting for the go ahead on our next mission Troops loaded down with the illest compositions We come around terminate any other resistance Listen, cause what you're missing takes you to your depths Of burning up in my friction while you try to build your rep Process the data while I break down the steps As I catch wreck just putting the mic in check So now we're moving - cause when it's on it's on Only the strong will survive while the rest are left alone My minds the master anywhere that it roams Rapidly approaching destination unknown In the zone I'm prone to keep anything from breathing Casualties stacking while I'm MCing Rocking the radio frequencies your receiving Garaunteed to be heard in your ear drum beating No use retreating cause I'm already inside Pounding on your brain making you feel the vibe Mile high - better than anything you can buy It's a fact BadKat blast back never dies (Chorus) (Verse 2) Back to another sesh of do it again I've survived dangerous threats from numerous men Once the trap had been set yo I lured them in There's no limit to what I'd ever go and do for the pen Or go and do for my dogs man where the hell you been And I'd do ten times that for any one of my kin So make sure you ain't a fo, but ain't gotta be a friend I'm saying just don't step on my toes when I commence I am not a candy rapper realize it's a trend Hip Hop will bring you honor if you vow to defend I howl to the wind preparing before I descend Bring slaughter to MCs who try to pretend They lack what it takes to conquer the trials of men No need to debate gender or color of skin The trouble you in found deep at the heart of the den Will leave you resting in peace washing away all of your sins
4.
(Chorus) You need to be leaving cause you getting too close Either 'bout to get gone or 'bout to get ghost Either way I don't care I come fully prepared To shake you up blow you out the atmosphere (Verse 1) I took a little breather but you know that I'm back Your body reacts, and everything is true and exact Precise in my precision to the tip of tac You could say that in the rap game I got it down packed I got it like that - yea black you know I'm the mac And any crowd, any city any place where you at It's gona be the same story dog regardless of jack You know it's a fact, BadKat be killing on tracks And burning your wax - cut your life chord with an axe Battle anybody, leave your body, more for the rats But porns and gats got you believing that you can rap Ad it's a shame that in this game so many are whack So I'm taking it back, it's time to tighten the slack Fair warning to cats thinking that they on attack I'm likely to snap - stretch your coarpse out on the racks I'm on a warpath sweeping up the dirt from the cracks (Chorus) (Verse 2) Choose your words very carefully - don't make them your last Wish I could say my violent nature was a thing of the past You don't want to crash and burn when we cross paths But you cats don't learn that I could give you a pass Or I could smash your brains out turn your body to ash Flick a match on your clothes that are soaked in gass Make you a midnight special called roasted ass And serve you up to the UGA freshman class Bury you alive in a box full of broken glass Change your life from bad to worse in a lightening flash Win over your wife and kids and spend all of your cash What - you're feeling short of breath go ahead and gasp The situation is serious man it's time to grasp That you making things worse by talking all that trash I knew when I first met you we'd eventually clash But I bet you didn't think it'd end like that...dumb ass
5.
(Chorus) You've got to get up and go to get up and go Can't-can't stop the flow you keep it moving You've got to get up and go to get up and go Can't-can't stop the flow you keep it moving You've got to get up and go to get up and go Can't-can't stop the flow you keep it moving You've got to get up and go to get up and go Can't-can't stop oh no you just can't stop (Verse 1) I've been in the game for so many years I got waterfalls flowing from the shed of my tears Tragedy, falicy double-faced back stabbing In the end it's just the mic that I'm grabbing Tackling tracks hard as quarter back sacks I'm kicking the facts until I'm ripping slip matts I'm flipping it back from the beginning to the end It's me and my mens about to dominate trends and formulate blends Turn tables into back spins when the wax bends Transcend every track that's ever been When I'm in too deep I lose sleep with the pad and the pen Steady watching waiting contemplating my next move I've got no time to lose Got a short fuse lit cause I'm bout to blow Ain't never gonna quit never stop the flow (Chorus) (Verse 2) Too many days too many nights and counting The beat don't stop while the party's still bouncing Die another day tomorrow I'm O-Zing It's a struggle to survive but yo I'm still breathing Got to maintain through blood sweat and pain Try to wash it away I pray in hard rain It's a tight strain but I keep it on the move I was born a winner I never play to lose I change the rules I blame the game my time frame Of operation getting over's insane I'm off the chain across the grain with no gain If every minute of every second's in vain I stake my claim now I'm here to shine Taking back my turf cause the world is mine It's on the line you can hear it in the rhymes I'm a go on forever short of running out of time (Chorus)

Soul 2 Keep 03:19
(Verse 1) I'm what they call the death code slinger Sneak into your layer with only a coat hanger Tonight I'm a be the body part rearranger Twist your whole system without lifting a finger Yes the dead ringer, impact of a crator Surrounded by an army of nothing but golden gaters Anniahlate all haters in the form of devastators Breaker breaker one nine to locate you The power of the maker - the procreator Shogun, the midnight sun incubator Instinct intuition of mother nature Lower your heartbeat before I dialate you Disect you just before i ressurect you Tan skin cobalt eyes and smooth texture Faster than light when I move through your sector No escaping the fate erase the conjecture (Chorus) Now I lay the down to sleep I pray for the Lord your soul to keep If though shalt die before thy wake I pray for the Lord your soul to take (Verse 2) All I see is a beautiful empire Riddled with dust of remains and gunfire Every path a dangerous high wire The game created by those who conspire I fight fire with the flame of all flames Evacuate the plains for all those who remain Get flooded by my river of pain of no gain There's no shame in the book of no names Don't explain save that breathe for your last What you hear next sounds like a gun blast The clouds that collide when I let my light flash Earth starts to shake under feet of the warpath Unleash the wrath and epic episode Live wired to the sun energy electrode I let it go - the light continues to grow Seed what you need cause you reap what you sow (Chorus)
7.
(Chorus) R - e - v - e - n to g - e Friends become enemies Still they pretend to be grin like they feeling me R - e - v - e - n to g - e Doube-faced back stabbing fakes apprehended before they could swindle me (Verse 1) I welcomed you in with open arms when we first met Never would have guessed little homey would turn out to be suspect Hit me on my pager to make the connect And we'd be chillin on the stoop in the middle of the projects Prospect the biddies walking by - Tally sunset Sippin on a glass of tequila mixed with triple sec And a twist of OJ, a shot of grenadine Just chillin with my homies hustling Jamaican greens I should've know way back then that you were gonna sell me out Couldn't believe my own ears what I heard come out your mouth But that'll be the last time that you say my name If you call me out again in vain I'll have to bring the pain And I'm a have to keep it simple and plain I didn't put myself in business for you to play games With this money on my mind Put your money in the meter When the bell tone chimes there ain't nothing sweeter than... (Bridge) Nothing's sweeter than revenge No, nothing's sweeter than revenge (Chorus) (Verse 2) I can't take it anymore I'm about to declare war Like this one girl I knew back durrring grade school We linked back up whenever I made my return to The home city, I was drowning in self pity Decided to hit the mall just to make myself prety Needed some new kicks, Spotted a Puma pair Stopped by the Journey Shop and ran into her there Turned out she was working for a few freinds of mine Started chatting about how she was into writing rhymes So we made a packed, yea-yea it was like that Started hittin up the studio to lay some phatt trax A couple of months passed, man nothing ever good last Found out she was smuggling my hooks to another cats Studio, I took it as a low blow But I never lose sleep over rap hoes so it's.. (Chorus)

Sound Off 02:12
(Verse 1) Rap fanatics sparatically insist Better catch the rythm phonetically I sift I shift to lift the unregulated pressure Wide open to the rappers like a venus fly catcher I let you pass through the gates of hell Enters to the center where my stockpile swells I can tell by the look on your face that you're nervous Escape is futile each step superfluous Observe this, however it transmits If you get scared you get caught up in the twist It contricts there you go with your modern day hero While I'm turning pharos into scare crows And making little people out of CEO's I turn the famous into nameless cats like John Doe So before you tell me how you like to ride or roll Just know I maintain the party crowd control (Verse 2) Seeping deeper underneath the surface Listen carefully to understand my purpose Tantalizing the stems of your nervous System shift them into the purest Potential as I catch wreck on instrumentals Symbols resinating in between your temples It's simple, but if it starts to resemble Subliminal minded thoughts and it kindles A flash in the mind space relative to time Your blinded by the light and the light that I shine is Never ending microphone bending I keep transmitting but your not trascending Let's take it back to the basics Start by using beats from under the basement Cause let's face it you've grown so complacent Here's a little something you can use to replace it
9.
Fist Up 04:49
(Chorus) Put your fist up in the air everywhere that you ride Let them know that you 'bout to blow Put your fist in the sky everytime do or die If it's on cause when it's on it's on (Verse 1) These are hard times and we walking the hard line Through land mines to answer the far cries Of small fries while jetting through star signs Let's all rise, it's all right, it's on right Like a needle spinal tapping you A master of the universe and you are just a passenger Titan of the new dawn batteling Galactica Here to let the light spawn using my vernacular Breaking it on down to the basics face it Sucking you up out of the matrix taste it Why do you seem so complacent chasing This is your chance to escape it make it Happen don't look back and when you're free let it ring Truth is the only justification we need You have the power of the power within me So move with the power against the powers that be and... (Chorus) (Verse 2) This is not a test I'm jacking this broadcast Attention it's a BadKat breaking news flash Rulers of the past your evil shall not last Warriors from the wild west are here to party crash No more innocent to be conquered by divide No more preying on the weak by the wolf in a disguise Reorganize your methodology of lies Don't be surprised when they're no longer hypnotized Flash back to the present here and now Got to make it work some how, we going all out Act fast if the devil be around Gonna break the cursed down, he took the wrong route That's fact what the message be about Always hold your people down and this is no doubt Contact second hand to the ground Welcome to the final hour, this is for my warriors This is for my warriors, This is for my warriors, this is for my warriors... (Verse 3) Im traveling light, moving across the plains Over the earth's crust pulsating through its veins On top of the high tides to low-land domains Atmosphere to the core all within my range Im a rebel freedom fighter stepping up in the game Breaking down the tyranny of suffering and the pain Calling out our captors to put a face to the name Rectify the situation so there's no one to blame And no one to hang and no one to burn And if knowing's half the battle when will the other half learn Know when to change and know when to turn And in exchange your worth every life lesson youve earned, so Somebody call St. Pete I got nothing to lose I already done paid my dues Its a fact, you only got one life to lose So tell me what is it you trying to prove... Now knuckle up and... (Chorus)

How We Rock 03:30
(Chorus) Hip Hop this is how we rock it don't stop Hip Hop this is how we rock Hip Hop and you know it don't stop - Hip Hop this is how we rock (Verse 1) You can't handle us once it gets physical Fronting on my click-squad that's indivisile All that you're ever gonna feel are the residual effects Of point six secs for us to flex unpredictible Every single move that I make is unequivical Destablilize your condition till it's critical Rap style biblical, cypher turns eliptical First principle every man is dispensible Now what you have to is master the syllabuls Construct your voice in a way tat is deliverable Force centrifical, thoughts are cyclical The essence of my presence on the air is indispinsible Scribbiling with a number two pencil peep the visuals Miniscule thoughts subside mind invincible Rhymes are plentiful, I'm banging on your temple It's simple, I'm taking over every instrumental (Chorus) (Verse 2) I make time elapse with my raps your present becomes your past Your future is on the haps the contiuim traps Your mind like flashbacks and aphrodisiacs I storm like flash floods over scratch wax Wiping states off the map in the name of norfcak I take a catnap contact your rat pack You can stack cement sacks around your area Infiltrate your layer with second stage malaria Interior secrets start leaking The more damage I do the less your crew is competing I'm leaving heads shattered open and bleading You need to start retreating before our next meeting Devil tongue seeping creeping into infrustructure My words cut ya when I work don't have to touch ya Bass pumps you so hard makes your heart rupture Leave you gasping like your lungs punctured (Chorus)
