lyrics

SHAMROC:
REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY, WHEN WE ALL HAD FUN,
HOPPIN' SKIPPIN' JUMPIN' TRIPPIN PLAYIN ALL TIL THE SUN,
HIT THE EARTH WITH MEGATON FORCE AND HARBORED THE ONE,
THAT CONVINCED US ALL THAT WE SHOULD RESORT TO PICKIN UP GUNS
WE I WAS YOUNG I USED TAH HAVE FUN ALL THE TIME,
SLIDIN' DOWN SLIDES, POGS, PLUS SEEK AND GO HIDE,
NOWADAYS EVEN PRETEENS ARE PICKIN UP NINES,
BRINGIN' GUNS TAH SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY ASS WANNA RIDE,
I GUESS WE GOTTA FIND OUT OWN FATE, THE
DEATH TOLL FOR TEENS IS TWENTY PERCENT HIGHER THAN THE NATIONAL
SUICIDE RATE
BUT THROUGH RELEVENCE I GUESS INTELLIGENCE IS EVIDENT,
THESE CATS ARE QUITE GIFTED EVEN THE ONES THAT BRING THE METAL IN
THEY ACT LIKE THUGS, BUT ON THE INSIDE THEY'RE GENTLEMEN,
THE ESSENCE IN OUR LIFE IS TO FIND SOMEONE THEY CAN SETTLE WITH
BUT YOU BETTER BE READY, CAUSE THESE CATS ARE TOP HEAVY,
THEY TALK ABOUT POPPIN DEADLY, THATS WHY I ROCK STEADY FOR MY
LIFE

YOUTHINASIA:
Back in the days,
Back in the days when we played and the days were so free
Back when we were back to back
We did hand slaps, patty cake, 4-square, tether ball and all that
The music then was oh so fresh!
Now the coming out, they coming out with all this mess
They sounding all the same
and they running their game
But we got these vibes and we're holding our name
And we leave you with a taste and we're making our mark
Like at BBS where its fresh from the start
End of the future it might get worst
So we're saving your day
Got your back with a verse
Got it all down, practiced rehearsed
Always nice when it's from the universe (Universe)
Universal entities, we brought it to you back, back in '03
with Verbal Remedies


SHAMROC:
THE BOOM BAP HITS YOU, WHILE CAPTIVATIN' YAH MIND,
SEND CHINGLES UP YAH BACK, CAUSE YOU TO JAUNT YAH SPINE,
OPEN YAH VOCAL CHORDS SHOWIN' YOU GOT THE TIME,
INVESTED ON THE MICROPHONE FOR YOU TAH FLAUNT YO RHYMES,
NOBODY GOT LINES LIKE MINE I TRY TAH MAKE 'EM NORMAL,
IM HARD PRESSED FOR RHYMES THATS WHY, MINE ARE FORMAL,
YEH MY MIND RIPS DEVINE BUT MY MIND IS SCOURNEFUL,
ORDINARILY I MIND BUT THIS TIME I FEEL HORRIBLE,
I DISLIKE THESE CATS WHO THINK THE'RE BETTER THAN US,
ALL BIGHEADED JUST BECAUSE THEY GOT A LETTERMAN DOES,
THIS JUSTIFY FIGHTS BETWEEN ROOKIES AND VETERANS CAUSE
WHEN WE'RE FINISHED WE STILL WON'T KNOW, WHO THE BETTER MAN WAS
I'M GETTIN' MAD PISSED OFF, BUT THAT'S JUST PART OF THE BID,
PEOPLE STEPPIN' ALL ON ME BECAUSE I'M ONLY A KID,
BUT I'MA KEEP ON DRILLIN' GIVE ME A SHOVEL TAH DIG,
UNTIL I'M ONE OF THE DOPEST UP IN THE CITY OF SIN, ITS FOR MY LIFE

HOOK:
LIFE, LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF ALL THINGS,
OPEN A BOOK FOR THE YOUTH, CAUSE LIFE IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS,
ALL THESE GANGSTAS TALKIN MESS ABOUT THEIR CHICKEN AN' CREAM,
GOT THESE KIDS THINKIN' "RAPPER'S" THE AMERICAN DREAM IT GOES(2X)
