*Phone ring*
D-Menace: Hey, yo, Pat, listen man, I got this new track coming out, from, uh, you know, this new album that I’m releasing, and I want you to hear it. I think it’s some really good stuff dude!
PXW: Word, word, let me hear it.
I'm just relaxin...up in Aspen...
Colorado, in my maxima...
But I think I’m being followed
Cuz I almost just swallowed
A whole bottle of aspirin, now I’m sitting here gasping
For air, and I’m thinking about the action
I speak with a slight accent
That's on point, like a decimal
And I'll decimate you, cuz you're infinitesimal...
Step on your genitals, like a gentleman
A veteran, who likes to chew edible medicine
And spew general venom in
The direction, of enemies
Leaving them in the breeze
Till their energy is fatigued
And I consider this...a heavenly deed
D-Menace: Uhh yeah...Alright dude, so what did you think of that?
PXW: Well man, it clearly had a lot of technical skill, but shit, what are you talking about?! You’re just rhyming random shit together, like a nursery rhyme basically. Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose-ass bullshit! And the beat didn’t go anywhere, it just repeated endlessly. And it was generic as fuck. You’re just copying Slim Shady. I-I don’t know what to tell you man, you gotta get your own style.
D-Menace: Man, fuck you!

The Genesis
07:07
|
|||
When I first heard Hip-Hop, my lip dropped in shock
I didn't know what time it was, checked my wristwatch
Just like that, the match was scratched and it was
The moment I was trapped like a fly that gets caught
In a web of intrigue, it was in me indeed
To explore what I'd found to astound with quick speed
At the time I was 6, with my mind in a fritz
But no real method to fulfill my fix
Or my craving, but it was something worth saving
In the back of the head, I wouldn't let the flame that had been lit go dead
So then a year goes by and I'm just chillin killin time
Just a bored little kid and I'm fillin nine
Hours of the day with cartoon programming
Little did I know my heart would soon start jamming
As I click that button, not expecting nuttin
I hear the sound of drums and the bass starts thumping
*Boom Boom Boom Chicka Boom Bow Wow*
I know I can't beatbox, ain't no need to frown
But anyway, I was struck, was it just dumb luck?
If I hadn't been 7, I'da said "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
And from that moment on, every day I kept watching
Cuz MTV back then played real music quite often
I would stare every morning at the screen intently
Watchin 50 Cent get up out of a Bentley
Or Snoop in Brazil telling girls they're beautiful
Slim saying without him, shit wouldn't be near as cool
Yeah those were the days, you could say the genesis
Of who in the FUCK that rapping kid named Dennis is
Pre-Chorus (4x):
In the beginning there was the skies and the earth
And power to paint the picture with the rhymes and the verse
So that was the genesis, how it all got started
But my knowledge was limited, not fully imparted
At the time I was also a big fan of Rock
From the classic era, ain't no need for shock
Cuz like Ice Cube said, it's got the same spirit
Rebellion, outside-the-box, you gotta feel it
Making something new, the older ones don't get it
But you still lay it down, cuz if not you'll wish you said it
So anyway, yeah, I was privy to some rhymes
From crazy Slim Shady to violent gangsta gun crimes
But it wasn't up to par with what a true rap fanatic
Is expected to have in a crate up in the attic
Then at 15, I had a second revelation
When I realized Hip-Hop as a form of creation
It all started with Pac, and moved on to Big
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, then to Nas and Jig
Outkast, Cool J, Wu Tang Clan, and more
But that still wasn't all the genre had in store
For a young fiend, but not of the drug type
The kind that fiends for lyrics from behind a mic
I made it a point to explore to the utmost
No I'm not an expert, but why not try to come close?
Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, and Ricky D
MC Lyte, Tribe Called Quest, and BDP
Big Punisher, Mobb Deep, Jeru
All the greats from history, the least I could do
I would listen, learn, and study like homework
Thinking to myself why not make my own work?
I got some skill, and I got some talent
I just need to organize, put in place some balance
Cuz even if you're lyrically skilled, with no vision
Your shit will crash and burn like a 17 car collision
So with this new state of mind, and some guidance
I decided to create, and mostly stay silent
Yeah I told a few people, here and there, whatever
But I'm doing this for me, not just to sound clever
Man these ARE the days, you can CALL them the genesis
Of who in the FUCK that rappin kid named Dennis is
Pre-Chorus (4x):
In the beginning there was the skies and the earth
And power to paint the picture with the rhymes and the verse
Chorus (2x):
The genesis
But not like the scripture
The genesis
Let me paint you a picture
The genesis
You could call it a start
The genesis
Of my rhyming art
Now there's way too many artists out there committin blasphemy
Neglectin the past, all about the cash, it’s trash to me
Back in the days, it was thought that you had to be
Skilled in a certain way, not saying do that for free
But the cash shouldn't be, your number one motive
20 years from now the shit you say, who's gonna quote it?
Or remember who wrote it? Just because it's explosive
For one moment, don't mean it's got the power to last against opponents
And when it comes to the microphone, you better hold it
With some fucking dignity and that's not a figment of the
Imagination, listen to the real artists talk about creation
I saw an interview with Rakim the other day when
He praised Em's, intense commitment and dedication
If you don't treat your work as a craft, it don't make sense
To even pursue it, you had that one moment or opportunity - you blew it
Cuz all you wanted to do is, say something stupid, say screw it
Lay back and tell your friends you made some ends and blow thru em
Like this shit is a big joke, but you ain't Big Pun
You talk about having respect, go out and get some
That shit isn't given, it's earned like a check sum
Without a set of skills, you ain't getting not a bread crumb
So either come back with philosophy, or get gone
Instead of posing tough, like society's biggest menaces
I think YOU motherfuckers need your OWN genesis
Pre-Chorus (4x):
In the beginning there was the skies and the earth
And power to paint the picture with the rhymes and the verse
Chorus (2x):
The genesis
But not like the scripture
The genesis
Let me paint you a picture
The genesis
You could call it a start
The genesis
Of my rhyming art

If I Said It, I Meant It
05:01
|

Chorus (2x):
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my tongue for no one
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my, bite my tongue for no one
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"It’s just the way I am"
I'm like a serpent, with a snake’s tongue and a man’s body
So while you’re standing over there with your nose so damn snotty
I'll be thinking up rhymes to attack your whole body
Mind, soul, and spirit if you let me get near it
You don't gotta fear it, it's just something you deal with
Like a viral infection, man check your inflection
Before your pretentious lyrics make you select protection
I come from the depths of hell to destroy the villagers
So hide your children, cuz I plan to be diligent
And if you come ill equipped, you get slaughtered like Kip Winger
Oh wait hold on a second, I think I mixed up my lead singers
Ehhh that's alright, I don't really care for hair metal
But when I'm on the mic I feel like a daredevil
I’ll wait till the air settles
Around me, then proceed with my next line
It's okay that you failed, I guess just try better next time
Chorus:
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my tongue for no one
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my, bite my tongue for no one
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"It’s just the way I am"
In a fraction of a second, I draw my deadly weapon
But this is not an automatic gun I'm representing
I don't condone violence but that don't mean I'm silent
It's called using your wit to spit some shit, you should start tryin it
I'm too legit to quit like MC Hammer, you can't touch this
And just like Wu-Tang Clan I'm known to bring the fuckin ruckus
Your lyrical ability’s hysterically silly, see
Your mind is playing tricks on you, I guess I’ll call you Willie D
Except you lack the skill you need to really be as ill as he
Probably cuz your stupidity is fuckin killin me
You ain’t no Compton City G, you sure as hell ain’t Eazy E
I know he didn’t write his shit, but he had a cool delivery
But when you’re on the mic it only leaves me fuckin shivering
And not like "oh my god his shit is really fuckin riveting"
It's more like you're a toxic hazard polluting all the rivers, G
It's not that I dislike you, you're too weak to be my enemy
Chorus:
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my tongue for no one
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my, bite my tongue for no one
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"It’s just the way I am"
I'm miscellaneous, zany, insane, and nuts
I’d say I'm dangerous, but that still ain't enough
To describe my persona, this ain't a crazy bluff
It's just me being honest, that's why I say this stuff
It's not just for riddlin, but Ritalin
Would be a damn good middleman
Between my thoughts and this notepad
My focus is so bad, in 20 minutes I can go from happy, to so mad
I always had, ideas that never came to existence
What is this? I'd say it’s a lack of energy that's mixed with
An instance, of not giving a fuck, that's my inference
But back to the point I was getting across
See I'm already lost
I've had a lot of trouble with concentration, in past situations
But with rap it's a blessing cuz no thought is wasted
It's all interconnected, if I said it, I meant it
Now I’ma strike...
PXW:
...with a vengeance
I got a lesson for you Dennis
You middle class whiny ass
Can't even fire shots without repentance
Can't even finish the sentence
So it's no surprise I'll be the one to end this
“LOL random” empty threats, I'd wage my bets, that’s a path to defeat
How you gonna battle wits when I got the impetus to stop the beat?
What's that? You can't stop the show Pat?
I thought we'd take a break from the routine crap
Endless repetition, pummels minds into submission
Mass attrition is your favorite style
Real communication, more than surface information, learn it it will take you miles
Speaking of Miles how bout we teach you how to windmill
Piles upon piles of hyper-blasting overkill
Two of a kind we can bring your schemes down to nill
And now it's time: Phil, fill!
Chorus (2x):
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my tongue for no one
"If I said it, I meant it"
Bite my, bite my tongue for no one
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"I don't know it's just the way I am"
"It’s just the way I am"
It’s just the way I am…
It’s just the way I am…
It’s just the way I am

Antisocial Commentary
05:20
|
|||
I've never been the type of person to refrain from cursin
Or speakin his mind at like all the wrong times
If I thought it, I said it, in some cases, regret it
And yeah I wish I had a little button called edit
In some situations, when my mind was racing
And shit that I said caused me much aggravation
But at the end of the day, that's a flaw I can live with
Work on it somewhat of course, but I'll still give
One hundred percent, pure uncut from the cranium
And when I let loose be aware there's no zanier
Even when I'm pessimistic I still find the silliness
In most situations, the comedy's really just
The flip side of tragedy, and you couldn't imagine the
Ways I can flip shit around, you just have to see
The world with some clarity, and that's really a rarity
A notion that is kinda scary
And it leads to antisocial commentary
Sometimes I get in the mood where everyone is an idiot
Cuz they can't keep up with my wit but it's really just
Miscommunication in most situations
And the meaning most likely got lost in translation
You can speak the same language, same grammar and punctuation
And not comprehend a word of the person you're facing
So that's why I get critical, I'm not really that cynical
But when I feel I'm being ignored
I just can't seem to pity the fool
Like I just said something funny, so why the fuck aren't you laughin?
At least a couple of chuckles dawg, I ain't askin for no gaspin
For air or anything like that
But give me at least a sign that what I'm sayin is on the right track
Because I've been known to get mad quite unfairly, that's one common theory
For just why I start my antisocial commentary
Chorus:
“Dennis, man, you ain't seein shit clearly”
I can see just fine, open your mind, maybe you'll hear me
“Pfffffhhhh really? You're like 21 barely”
Being old don't make you wise, so that shit, it doesn't scare me
“If you don't got nothin nice...ever heard of that theory?”
Man fuck that...I’ma say it and you'll bear me
“Man I'm done, you're too young to be this weary”
I guess you're too young for my...antisocial commentary
*Guitar Solo*
Chorus:
“Dennis, man, you ain't seein shit clearly”
I can see just fine, open your mind, maybe you'll hear me
“Pfffffhhhh really? You're like 21 barely”
Being old don't make you wise, so that shit, it doesn't scare me
“If you don't got nothin nice...ever heard of that theory?”
Dude fuck that...I’ma say it and you'll bear me
“Man I'm done, you're too young to be this weary”
I guess you're too young for my...antisocial commentary

Brains

*Skit 1*
I masterfully craft catastrophes so dastardly that cops is after me
I smash MC's so fantastically they collapse and bleed, then I dash and flee
I used to be clean, then I relapsed on speed
Which led to coke, shrooms and a dash of weed
Yeah...I'm psychotic
Name a mental illness and I got it
I carve pentagrams in my eye sockets
Then I puke up dry vomit
I'm back at it
An asthmatic crack addict tryna fuel his habit
Yeahhhh well I've had it
Cuz when I talk to god all I hear is black static
A mental patient, STILL waitin for satan
So I can murder him and make myself the replacement
Dawg you better face it, you know I don't fake shit
This is just who I am and I'm about to go ape shit
Pretend I'm Slim Shady, take a ride to my basement
Ahhhh best brain that I've tasted
Chorus (2x):
Ahhh...best brain that I've tasted
Cook it up fresh, not a scrap to be wasted
Best brain that I've tasted
And I'll eat yours too, so just give me some patience
So here I am again chasing these monsters
They're only in my head, but they're making me bonkers
I tell em to be quiet but they keep talkin non stop
But I'm acting like there's nothing wrong, I deserve an Oscar
I'm getting hungry but, not for soup or pasta
There's only craniums on this maniac’s roster
I slurp them up with a plate of a nachos
Then throw the rest back in ya head like "ha ha gotcha!"
Yeah I'm crazy but I haven't always been this way
Everybody in my family thinks I've been okay
Cuz I'm too scared to bring them all over for dinner, hey!
Cuz if they saw what I was like then I’d get sent away
So I'll just keep being a lunatic that's in dismay
And I'm the biggest fuckin villain in this business, bae
I really wish I didn't fuckin have to live this way
But insanity's a real fuckin bitch they say
Chorus (2x):
Ahhh...best brain that I've tasted
Cook it up fresh, not a scrap to be wasted
Best brain that I've tasted
And I'll eat yours too, so just give me some patience
*Skit 2*
I don't know if there is a point to even write this verse
Cuz by the time you hear it you'll probably be in a hearse
As they're preparing to put your body down in the dirt
Was it a painful death? Nawwww it didn't hurt
They don't know that you're in your coffin but you're still alive
And all the horrors that you've witnessed, man, you can't describe
And you don't wanna die but you just really can't decide
If you should try to leave this grave and try to fuckin hide
But now the funeral is over, everybody's gone
You're feeling sick and you know it ain't gonna be that long
Plus you don't know if you can even really be that strong
You're havin post traumatic stress like you're in Vietnam
But then you finally decide to fuckin leave this bitch
You manage to get out the coffin, you don't even twitch
But then you notice me there standing and I've got a blade
I'll eat my lunch and throw the remains right back in the grave
Chorus (2x):
Ahhh...best brain that I've tasted
Cook it up fresh, not a scrap to be wasted
Best brain that I've tasted
And I'll eat yours too, so just give me some patience
*Skit 3*

"This pig harassed the whole neighborhood, this pig worked at the station/This pig, he killed my homeboy, so that fuckin pig went on a vacation"
"Mr. Officer, crooked officer…"
"Fuck the police, comin straight from the underground…"
"I'm fed up with that bullshit, bullshit"
"I'm fed up with that bullshit, bullshit"
"I'm fed up with that bullshit, bullshit"
Cops be ready to bust the musket at a suspect
Specially if the suspect be darker than the dusk get
And even if the ruckus is all about some dumb shit
It's criminal justice, so fuck it
It's just another drop in the bucket
This country's corrupted
Motherfuckin public, afraid to disrupt it
Sycophant mentality got its hands up its
Ass like a puppet
Show some sass and they'll cuff it
"Not so fast, son, you're bluffin"
Harassed, for nothin
What a great system to put your fuckin trust in
Don't ask no questions, just start fuckin bustin
But somehow the suspects the one who's disgusting?
"He's got a mean mug and, I think that he's thuggin"
If that's enough to cuff him, who's the fuckin thug then?
Who's the fuckin thug then?
Who's the fuckin thug then?
*Guitar Solo*
Who’s the fuckin thug then? (8x)
Motherfucker!

Outro 4 Tha Haterzzz
02:40
|

You all fucked up by lettin me make an album (PXW: How come?)
Cuz I just got on the mic, and let my fuckin style run
No, for real, uh, I can’t believe that I actually just made a professional level record
This has been my dream ever since I was like 7 years old
When I first started hearing Eminem, you know, on MTV and stuff like that
And I always wished to make my own music, and I never got around to truly doing it
And I don’t know how it’s gonna be received
But you know, I’ll be damned if I didn’t try my best
To express when put to the test, no stress, nothin less than a mess
Anyway, um, yeah I just want to thank everybody who worked on this album
Pat, for providing the music to this whole shindig
And, you know, playing the instruments and everything
Helping me, coaching me through some of the rapping involved with it
And giving a lot of great ideas for how the beats should go
And just how to make the songs, uh, something that will really stand out amongst
You know, other, other rappers and things like that
And I wanna thank Phil for recording this fucking album
I wanna thank Miles for doing the drum fill on “If I Said It, I Meant It”
And also for playing the entire song “Who’s The Fuckin’ Thug Then?”
He did a great job on the drums for that song
And also I also wanna thank everybody that I knew since I was a kid
That was aware of my obsession with Hip-Hop music and they looked at me like I was insane
Like you know, why was I even bothering with this Rap crap, you know?
That asked me, you know, are you aware that you’re white
As if that determines skill level or anything like that
And, you know, they just thought of me as that annoying rapper kid who would somehow tie any discussion into Hip-Hop
That laughed at me when I used to make really corny songs and record them on my Macbook when I was like 16
Okay, that I can’t blame you for, those songs, they did suck
But nonetheless, to all you motherfuckers that told me that all this rap shit was just a fad in my head that was gonna pass sooner or later when I came to my senses
And I can name names but I’m not a jerk like that so I’ll just keep it anonymous
But anyway, for all you freakin people, I dedicate this album
Adios and saya-fuckin-nora
Enjoy your lives never having one unique thought of your own
Peace!
