lyrics
Introduction:
In the beginning it was the word. From the word, came the light. But the light was never able to outrun the darkness. From the darkness, came me. I go by The Villain, Seven.
[Verse One]
Aint nothing new to me
And the year is 2015
Why niggas sounding like their Eulogies
Truthfully?
They're lost in depression
No love for the lessons
No gains without the pains
Without a doubt I'm one of the best kid
Recognize the villain
I brought my city up in the buildings
With the bricks
Stone tablets
Golden Tabernacles and shackles
And where the fuck have you been?
Just sitting on your ass
You niggas turning up on the liquor
While I'm making moves for the bigger picture
But we the same right?
Like how you figure that?
My flow is fasho a river of golden
However it's spoken
The Holy Token awoken
I left my enemies soaked
In the blood of the sins they've woven
I'm Wolfenstein without the Omen
And I just want to live
And I just want to be great
So regardless how my story ends
Just know that I was never fake eye
I'll never walk away from promises that I've made myself
But it's hard to find direction
When everybody's got their hands out
But nobody's trying to help you
Said nobody's trying to help you
(just some throwaway shit)
[Verse Two]
Ayo it's funny what this game do
They never knew about the next level until I came through
I taught these niggas how to stay true
I've always repped the same crew
That Organized Threat
And that's for life my nigga who is you
That triple seven
That's word to all my brethren
We gon' make it out alive
And if we don't I guess we'll ball in Heaven
I'm in the kitchen eating left overs for breakfast
Should I dumb my music down
And try to cash out on this rapping shit or
Or grab a bitch and have her sucking up on my dick
Her best friend would eat her pussy out
While I'm rubbing up on her clit
And we can chop it up together
With the hopes of getting rich
See I had dreams of making Hip Hop
Why the fuck am I doing porno flicks
Exploit the culture
I had dreams of making Hip Hp
Why the fuck am I doing porno flicks
And I just want to live
And I just want to be great
So regardless how my story ends
Just know that I was never fake
I've come to rejoice in witnessing him finally finding his footing, and standing firm on his square. He is, in my opinion, the sound of the culture once all this mainstream noise quiets out. VON POE VII
I spent my early late teens and 20's listening to Hus Kingpin and SmooVth, back when they went by "Tha Connection". It was very refreshing to see them come together again, and drop another classic. VON POE VII
True Masterz, a group I'd consider a modern day Mobb Deep or Onyx, except Megallah (formally JMega The God) does all the flowing over productions by MighGawd. Peep their catalog. VON POE VII
