This verse was written a while ago on a different beat, but Spread played drums over it and recorded the vocals over just the drums. Then he had Jeremy Radway come in and put the bass line on and Demian Hostetter added trumpet. In post production, Spread played the organ and Moog parts, as well as l...
TARGET PRACTICE
(Chorus)
I don't mess with yes or no-ers, good and evil-ers, stop or goers
Right and wrongers, black and white-ers, left and righters, day and nighters
Yo
I'ma' do my own thang
I'm a grown mayne
Yous' a known lame
Use my own brain
Ride my own lane
Write my own fame
Control my poem's aim
Ain't jumping out of your plane
Rather be a no-name
With the greatest flow game
No shame
Go blame another motherfu*ker 'cuz Spread ain't a sucker
Suckers shoot with no aim
Get some target practice
Cuz the fact is that this motherfu*kin act is rеal as sh*t
Might get graphic, but the psychopathic way you go about it?
That's as close as your spirit gеts
To me
Who me?
Yea me
Don't dare me
Or you might just get the truth
One-hundred-and-fifty proof
Knock the shingles off your sh*tty roof
Ain't time for fiddling, giggling, wiggling
Bigger than anything your mind conceives
I believe I can achieve any masterpiece my mind can weave
I mean, time and space
Only limits those too timid to get all up in it
Those with gimmicks, the limit is minutes
I'm down with eternity
Burnin' me slow and steady
Always know the flow is ready
You could throw machetes, flying daggers
Lyin' braggarts holding on to dying swagger
Try and act your part
But you don't know where to start
Because your heart is lost in the dark
We don't need an ark to free the heart
There's infinite routes to chart
I'm about to start
Let's embark on a journey
Fu*k the tourney
Winners, losers? They're still learning
Desire burning
That's all you need
Earth is turning
Don't follow me
Listen and you'll find your own direction
True faith is a known protection
I'm not talking about following
Faith that comes with truth that's hard to swallow n'
Can't put it up in a bottle n'
Like Zeus and Apollo n'
Pandora can't box with my DJ skills and vision
Ain't no algorithm with my rhythm
Robotic suckers get a thick D***
Long division
Now it's time to go and get'em
(chorus)
I don't mess with yes or no-ers, good and evil-ers, stop and goers
Right and wrongers, black and white-ers, left and righters, day and nighters
