Real Estate (feat. The Grouch)

IAME:

A long time comin' turned a strong mind numb

I burn something for the pain

sip something swerving lanes

this my everyday remedy for what ails ya

throw a couple back and hit the track so hard that it derails ya

we West coast carpenters

carving our own market and niche

you part-timing and never starve for this shit

this a partnership of artists with the same vision

we do the damn thing vicious

shining in a way your platinum chain isn't

Gold:

Splashing, gold fangs ripping

through the heart of the gang's bigmen

we brought change and handle business

they want action so I'ma give it, aiming for your heart

and both veins I enslave rhythms

with art that makes a difference

We keep on digging, we made sand out of free dirt

and hopped in feet first

and I lifted research

and you'll be first to notice the explosion ignite

we bleedin' through your speakers

breaking every stereotype

Chorus (Illmaculate):

This life we learn, we grow,

we gonna etch our name in stone

We're trapped in the box

but we're reaching for the ceiling

tearing down the walls,

looking for the reason that we're building (let's build!)

'Cause it's the only way

Sandpeeps steamroll the road we pave

We're trapped in the box

but we're reaching for the ceiling

tearing down the walls,

looking for the reason that we're building (let's build!)

The Grouch:

First: excavation, next lay the foundation

down from the town I come around breaking ground

this land is vacant I'm patient with the sound

West coast renovating quaking

let's let it be the story y'all can all unfold

what started in the dirt turned to cities of gold

for some city slums still, still build that escape

heart, mind, body what it takes

I'm a hero and a legend

not a zero and a peasant

don't place on a pedestal

'cause I had a tool shaped

what they measure cool, better face fate

you can't erect a palace on a

so I edit, mix, effect and fix

Defects, spit 'em out like feces and piss

and at least these blueprints do fit me

Sandpeople, I got a feeling you too can see that

Al-One:

I don't [...], I'm just a person who can get things

flip things I found so I can switch things around

and if you're listening, you on that best thing in town

so what of your wrist bling, we got that hot, blistering style

[...] spitting some shit, ripping across

throw up your fist and get loud

'cause we gon turn this bitch out

you know the verdict, act assertive

'cause we serving you clowns

the underground circus surface, ain't no circus around

The general contract, to build songs that long-lasting

on some classic head nodding

hip-hop we've all had it up to here

with that Top 40 pop shit

it's clear, what we drop in your is just the opposite

let's start a mosh pit in here-here-here's to the new year

mental elevation, pick my pen up

release some pent-up frustration
