Freeze Framework Songtext
von Mars ILL

When I heard about the word of mouth it was all out in the open
Silly saps at battles exchange stories how they′ve been broken
They hold in their punchlines, hoping I won't notice
Then blow in their cover as I′m blowing
Their minds and show em what dope is
Control the soul spit from the stage my open pulpit
Folk and dagger rappers with this jagged edge and full clip
Speak patterned stammers past the crime scene to find you
Take a platinum album times two and that's potentially the status
Break and take factions down into fractions
Taught Rakim how to rhyme, Cube and Krav scratch and Snap fashion conscious trash talk into the door
Interrogate their entourage and ask em what they came for
Well, tonight you got bored with those two hundred cable channels
Decided to come out here and congregate with all the mammals and geeks
Beautiful people, saints, sinners, and creeps
That cover charge ain't cheap so get yourself out of your seat
But really let′s get back to the topic again
Fellas say "ho!" if you′re ready for the show to begin
And ladies say "ow!" if it hurts to smile sometimes
So frown if you need to, everybody knows the time

Cause if it's easy it ain′t real, not perfect it could be right
Let's embrace all our flaws here tonight
Yeah if it′s easy it ain't real, not perfect it could be right
Let′s embrace all our flaws here tonight


Alright stop
Stand at attention
Take a frame from right now and freeze the image
Stuff that picture in your pocket before the future commences
When you read the book of life you gotta look at every sentence
Stop
This moment is perfect so pay attention
Snap the shot and learn from its dimensions
And don't be afraid to mention imperfections ever
Freeze the framework and hold this second here for forever

I got a chipped tooth and my lungs are scarred
I never clean my car, I'm not a star
Using proper grammar is who I are
Can barely hear with my right ear
Talk to a microphone and call it a rap career
I can′t go left, can′t jump and I'm the dumb type
Clumsy, I fall on my face like I was drunk (but he ain′t drunk)
Confront strangers and debate on socio-political issues
Set up a road block in your driveway
And dare you to try to get through
Eat too much fast food, own one pair of shoes
If life is a poker game I'm holding a pair of twos
I talk a lot, matter of fact after this you′ll
Find me rapping in the back of the parking lot
Randomly calling shots
I watch too much TV, I think the characters on Friends
Are really my friends and possibly that they can see me
It's a problem I know, I need to try to take it easy
But then the phone rings, my wife and tells me it′s George and Weezy
Please me, I'm watching My Family Feud in 3D
It's like they never fired Richard Dawson but no one will believe me
My bones ache when I′m awake, sometimes it′s more than I can take
But I'll say it all on tape if I think that you can relate
I′ll learn from my mistakes and make my people congregate
Hold the world on my shoulders until my blessed back breaks
Here's the weight that carries words over airwaves repeatedly
God fills all the gaps that you see in me

Alright stop
Stand at attention
Take a frame from right now and freeze the image
Stuff that picture in your pocket before the future commences
When you read the book of life you gotta look at every sentence
Stop
This moment is perfect so pay attention
Snap the shot and learn from its dimensions
And don′t be afraid to mention imperfections ever
Freeze the framework and hold this second here for forever
