WordPlay T.JAY – Plot Lines
[Intro]
Yeah x3
[Verse – WordPlay T.JAY]
Let me stop time to plot lines
Way before MySpace and dot coms
Way before dorm rooms and Top Ram…
Way before the first time I got some
I cheated on Judy with Dominique
I cheated on them with pen and ink
I keep writing all these necessary verses
And I’m hurting folks on purpose just to try to find my purpose.
Now ain’t that some sick shit to swallow.
Let me drink all this Nyquil I borrowed
Cause when I write it’s not numbing all the pain
And my only motivation is to be a better man
So line after line I keep scripting
Just change up the plot that I’m living
Not to mention my abusive step father
Just to keep the demons sober I’m a take some Holy water
[Hook – WordPlay T.JAY]x2
Down by the River,
Wash my soul, wash my soul
Wash my soul.
[Verse 2]
Let me stop time to plot lines
Way before hot blondes and cold bars
Way before lemon drops and mudslides
Way before Bedstuy and sold cars
Wrote about 40 verses a week
Cause life had me begging to God, please!
Wiped too many tears on my sleeve
And fought too many nights with no sleep.
But ain’t no stopping this King Arthur
Sit the round table in the kitchen
I’m carving David out of marble
Start scripting all of my best visions
Start ripping, all of the best riddles
And to the world I’m just Malcolm in the Middle
Screaming black power with no power
All of these bars with no towers
[Hook]
[Poem]
The clock of the angels runs forever,
And God smiles on the newborn child.
The camera sounds loud when the pictures in style.
Can you see it?
I would spend a week just to be unique,
And realize that I’ve been me.
No receipts, no repeats,
The story lies… within me.

Intro – Kid President
The World needs you to stop being boring
Yeah, You!
Boring is easy everyone can be boring
But you’re gooder than that!
Verse 1: WordPlay T.JAY
Aiight, here’s a formal introduction Mr. DOT
Pitching hits up in the air like it’s MLB
Putting plenty on the table now it’s you owe me
I make em shimmy shimmy ya like I’m ODB
OTMMG ya homie speaks motifs
I’m from the middle of the map and you too oblique
I know a bunch of red bloods that ain’t bout that beef
And I’m the leader of my crew so call me Chief no Keef
I get it loose no leaf homie you’re sucrose sweet
Looking like a super hero when I loop these beats
Now aw shucky shucky what you know bout me
If you ain’t working like I’m working then you’re without T
While you hyping up those lames I was sitting in the flames
Now Mufasa’s in the house and she’s playing with my mane
They checking for my name, Boy he ain’t really tame
All my lines are leveled up so I guess I’m super saying
Hook: x2
If you don’t hear me turn up x4
I’m bout to pop in a minute
Verse 2:
It’s been a long time coming but I’m near my mark
And I’ve been racing for a while but they ain’t hit my start
I’m on the rise thus far, and I just play my cards
And that liquor got em stuck man they Rosay parked
And I ain’t moving for you busters spending units on the clusters
Who you touching too disgusting when I whisper on percussion
Keep em lusting, cause I ain’t bout to cuff em
I already got a Dyson when I need a little suction
This is rap’s Sam Walton flipping lyrics like it’s Dolphins
It’s rap cyanide putting tracks up in the coffin, Aiight.
How you saying you’re the greatest they ain’t even talking
Cause I’ll never reach the peak if I ain’t started walking
cause I see my destination using motivation
And you’ll never see the charts by losing all your patients
Put it in perspective ain’t no second guessing
Holding on to the moment cause I’m so arresting
Hook:
Verse 3:
I meant to cramp your style when I put you on the cycle
Jesus Christ I done made you a disciple
Praying to the heavens that you’re girlfriend’s staying
And looking at an artist that the world made famous
Banksy flow I’m bout to paint these notes
Screaming show me the money when I bump this dope
This is wordplay t.jay he stays insane no brain
No gain, no change, so lame you need Rogaine
I’m super definition and you needing some nutrition
Search the kama sutra just to look up my position
I don’t wanna be like Kendrick, Cole or any of them niggas
I flow in the Maschine and I empty out my sickness
Some people think I’m finished and my 15s up
How the hell could I be done when I just warmed up
Hell I just made lunch so excuse my stunt
I done came too far and I don’t do no punts yeah.

Hook:
WordPlay T.JAY & Samantha Erickson
I’ve walked through the fire, swam through the rain
I’ve wrestled the storm, took all of the pain
Missed all of the sunshine and gave you the reigns
I’m never the same
I’m emerging again (emerging again x3)
Verse 1: WordPlay T.JAY
Falling from the ashes right (alright, alright)
Rain drops on my glass at night (my glass at night)
The waves turn I hear the tides (I hear the tides)
Throw away my foolish pride
I used to contemplate suicide, Frankenstein I’m too a live
Subject to my sentence and my only verb is do or die
Call me square up root your ties, grounded now and I’m due to fly
Every day that they that they scrutinized I proved them wrong I do oblige
Hmm, make the world to my liking
Now the powers in my writing, where’s the powder now I’m fighting
There’s no gods if I’m a Titan put me on I keep enlightening
Mouth guard they keep on biting, not coming down I’m gliding
Bridge:
They try to speed me up but I’m riding slow, riding slow
They wanna keep me down but I gotta grow, gotta grow
I’m riding way to high I’m never low, never low
Somebody lit the fuse I’m bout to blow, there he goes
Hook:
Verse 2:
I can never let her see me cry (cant see me cry)
I’m her strength but still I’m human right? (I’m human right)
I’m feeling like a Jedi Knight (a Jedi Knight)
I only do leave you to try
My passion what I utilize, can’t dog me out I euthanize
Your math is wrong no proof in lies, I guess you wear a true disguise
I’m cool with being myself
Fan me out don’t need the wealth, house of cards and still I dealt
Float up top, I must be kelp. Never booked you must be shelved.
I’m too cold to see me melt, acting out now bring my belt
Cause I’m winning all the titles, and I dance on words recital
Pick your train up way too bridal and I’m on the drums like tribal.

[Intro: Maurice – from “Coming to America”]
You see, I started off just like you guys, and now I’m washing lettuce.
Soon I’ll be on fries, then the grill. A year or 2 I make assistant manager
And that’s where the big bucks start rolling in.
[Intro: WordPlay T.JAY]
Check, check one two
(Trapping….Dreams)
[Verse 1: WordPlay T.JAY]
Said I’ll never make it.
Said I’ll never be this cold
Then I put out the cycle
Then the whole U.S. got snow
T dot J-A (Me)
Coming here to meet my goals
You get it the cycle?
Every four weeks I flow. (Woo)
Heavy like a maxi pad won’t stop for you niggas, taxi cab
Now I’m back in black put a kick right in like a hacky sack
Middle finger to your beamers On The Map now started with a mean mug
Middle finger if you’re salty never caught me on my knees pray to Jesus
[Hook]
2x: Trapping, (Trapping, trapping)
Trapping dreams
(Background: Lord almighty, Lord O’ Lord Almighty)
2x: I’m a King, I’m a king, trapping dreams.
[Verse 2]
Try to tell me I’m a loser.
Guess they’ve never seen my soul
I’m like a 12” vinyl
You’re fruit by the foot asshole (Jerk)
Using pen as a weapon
A whole lot of sin I’m confessing
Got the Holy Ghost, 87
Tell my mama call up the reverend
Cause I’m back up with aggression, read the message
Who you testing when you never learned the lesson
Now your backs kinda sweating I can see you home alone
Better call up Kevin (AHH!)
Don’t believe it till they see it but they always wanna be it to receive it
I’m a Thriller Billy Jean and I’m kinda Off the Wall better Beat It (Bad).
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I’m an icon now (You know it)
You better grab a Nikon now (Click)
Thought I would have been finished?
Played chicken like its Tyson now
Brain got the brights on
Turn like a cyclone, mind blown
Turn the mic on
Scale it up like a python, right on
Think I got the conscious flow
Get action like Bronson thought
Seven seals like an envelope
But I’m all the way hot never kind of dope
You boys kind of slow
Keep you way back there like a kind of tow.
And I’m more than okay and my fort stands still like Geronimo
[Vamp]

[Hook: WordPlay T.JAY]
I wonder what it’s like to be down and feel low, feel low
I wonder what it’s like to just cry on your pillow, pillow
I wonder what it’s like to not shine and feel gold, feel gold.
I wonder what it’s like to be down and feel low, feel low
I’m so blessed to be alive x3
I’m alive, Frankenstein.
[Verse 1]
Young choir boy, you can’t ignore
Write a score, I’m self employed you’re null and voice
I was pick up out of the ashes
Box me up, greater than Cassius
My past slipped outlast it like Magic
One of a kind, can’t mold me like plastics
It’s tragic, count your blessings when you see them
Ain’t made a million yet but I’m happy to be breathing
Life is only receding when holding on to the demons
So pray and let go of weakness and never let it defeat you
Every day is a sequel to make it greater than equal
If it isn’t lethal you’ll be stronger when it’s beneath you
So get up and take another step
Aim for the top I’m saying nothin’ less
There’s nothing left but pick a path and do it
Never half pursue it and put your back into it.
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Young choir boy I know I’m spoiled
I know the wars, I’ve seen the loss, I’ve won the spoils
I’ve seen the foils of past plans forgotten
Keep it moving without them with knuckles whiter than talcum
Grind living forever I’m Martin, Ghandi and Malcolm
Any negative thoughts no stress I do without them
Now baptize my head in the waves of the water
Using my very soul to make a way for my daughter
Son, moon, whatever I’m happy to try the hardest
Not graduating with honors I’m happy to be an artist.
Cause the struggle doesn’t last always
Won’t be living in the past all day
So I get up, I take another step
I up and broke the cycle just by taking nothing less
Knew I’d be the best now I say it with my chest
Passing all the test simply knowing that I’m blessed.
[Hook]
[Bridge: WordPlay T.JAY]
Lord protect us all from enemies
Till I succeed drown inner peace with Hennessy
I still stand got many legs like centipedes
You’ll never finish me.
You’ll never finish me
Till I succeed drown inner peace with Hennessy
I still stand got many legs like centipedes
You’ll never finish me.
[Hook]
