No More MN Nice Guy

(Verse One)

It's Thee Executioner but not
Total Eclipse or Roc Raida/
From Minnesota where even if you're a lot greater they may
Not play ya-
Recite faster leave mics battered with tight patterns/
Doesn't quite matter 'cuz
I'm laddered by white rappers-
But my face-beats make beats from ya' phone barely pound/
Know me on the street then at venues they're
No where to be found-
I perform better than most but
Get no new crowds at the door/
Their home sayin', "Liking Carnage is SO two-thousand & four!"-
Endure a sensation of silent
Abuse when ya' here/
Might smack you when you come to jump start your music career-
Been here most of my life & I
Still feel somewhat
Gruesome & weird/
Gather I'm a figure you're
Choosin' to fear-
I welcome the connections but am I viewed an
Unapproachable shrill rebel?/
Do preference & skin color
Trump a notable skill level?-
I had a semi-run then felt a
Slight fright, when it passed/
Maybe I'm an example of how MN
Nice Guys finish last-

(CHORUS)

From The 'Go, to The Paul
Living easier from tough place/
But often thought I'm stagnant...
Relationship is love-hate-
I feel it's time that I
Go towards givin' folks a
Light shine/
On why they're 'bout to see
No more Minnesota Nice Guy-
Shocked 'em in the East & had the West Coast groovin'/
But irate, in my state, when I get no movement!-
Time for a different approach or, grin & hope the plight dies/
No disrespect...But NO more Minnesota Nice Guy!-

(Verse Two)

Many a family I know
Learned of benefit to dwell where/
They were generous with assistance & wel-fare-
More than that, though compared to the West Side Chicago this is a/
Quite quaint nice place...
Artsy & clean with lower
Crime rates-
But I've always kinda felt, temporary here, & it's been ever/
So bolstered in intensity as I've grown older-
But then...Indie Hip-Hop told me
"Let's become selfish"/
We thought our scene was different & better than
Everyone else's-
From the outside, looking in either I'm huge or I tend to git told/
My talent, prowess & image make me larger than a zip code-
Relocation could make me
Twice better but if I'm set to
Be a/
Dope nobody atleast be a dope nobody in nice weather!-
Not sayin' nothin' here
That I've found is great...
But speak from the/
HEART honestly not passively
Open your mouth & say-
Seems like almost everyone
Around is fake & I'm
'bout to break...They might/
Find Minne-sotans floatin' in one of these, ten thousand lakes!-

(Chorus)

From The 'Go, to The Paul
Living easier from tough place/
But often thought I'm stagnant...
Relationship is love-hate-
I feel it's time that I
Go towards givin' folks a
Light shine/
On why they're 'bout to see
No more Minnesota Nice Guy-
Shocked 'em in the East & had the West Coast groovin'/
But irate, in my state, when I get no movement!-
Time for a different approach or...Grin & hope the plight dies/
No disrespect...But NO more Minnesota Nice Guy!-
