Anacron w/ Kokane - Twilight Zone

from The Facelift 3: Cosmetic Characteristics by Anacron

/

about

Rehashing what Anacron refers to as "the second best rap song of 2010 (only following WC's 'Frontline')" was not an simple task. Not only did he take Kokane's widely-applicable ideology and relate it to today's underground and independent rap scene, he also got behind the boards and gave it one of two original Manoemusicc beats featured on Cosmetic Characteristics, a Facelift first. The final product is the perfect amalgamation of gangster and underground, even receiving a digital co-sign from Mr. Kane himself.

lyrics

[Original Performance Lyrics]

...Grapple and grippin ya,
gafflin' and gettin' ya, back when it was simpler,
it was never like that
Bringing indie right back, labels waving white flags
Mainstream turn-around quicker than bike mags
All that lady-like swag got 'them hating like fags
Never thought I'd see the day
a White girl got ways with saying "nigga" on tape
Y'all slaves / Chained up, whipped into shape
I'm riding with the rise of the planet of the apes
So get your neighbor, start waving goodbye
I'm banging West Coast flavor until the day that I die

Out there doing the worst, G / They're so thirsty
Chasing recognition on Twitter and it hurts me
Degrading themselves when festivals come around
Jockin' fools that don't give a f**k about underground
Begging to get put on a flyer
You're only making yourself look like a liar
Talking about being a boss on microphones, mayne
Get up off your knees / Do your own thang
The underground died, now it's just like a scene
A gang of marks chasing indie deals and Hype Machine
I'm doing me / Rippin' on bars quicker...
