SOUL CAPITAL LYRICS: “They Say, I Love It”
Lyrics by Ben Brubaker
[CHORUS]: Heyyy, heyyy, I love it when they play this song…
I run the underground from my basement/
many days spent pulling on my brainstem/
I f**king break pens, tryin to make a statement/
but when my days end they’ll be no replacement/
so many artists acting hard, tryin to make ends/
meet defeat through deceit and never make sense/
and 8 to 10 year old kids start to praise them/
raised to behave like they looking through a fake lens/
the people blaze hemp leaf on the pavement/
talking bout faith still wonderin’ where Mase went/
haters be tryin to hold me down, I’m escaping/
my pen elevates, so I’m chilling with spacemen/
I meditate, zen wisdom is my 8th sense/
6th and my 7th are my dreams and my patience/
spit it way dense, words make the page tense/
speaking for my people making change like a statesman/
give me something that’ll move my feet ya’ll/
give me something that’ll move my soul/
give me something that’ll move my streets dawg/
give me something I can keep till I’m old/
this is radio logic, name it the flow project/
hip-hop philosophy, straight with no non-sense/
we on a conquest/ hi-jack the airwaves/
bombin on the set with the hot tracks, you hear em say
[CHORUS]: “Heyyy, heyyy, I love it when they play this song…
Heyyy, heyyy, I love it when they play this song…”
This ain’t Miles Davis, this is Miles Felix/
this is why you feel it with the style so appealing/
this is why you vibe while your chillin in your ride/
with your best friend smile and remember you’re alive/
I used to dream of doing television interviews/
tell them ‘I don’t wanna be labeled, you have to listen to it’/
but now my label says I have to make a hit or two/
I’m not legit until I sell my soul and quit the truth/
It’s the fame game, I gotta play along but/
“I love it when they play this song”…
They say, they say, they say…
Fame is that one last final weakness/
that remains in the brain of the noblest people/
and I’m only speaking to you as the humblest equal/
but I’m tired of people telling me that money is evil/
look in the mirror like a brook when it clear/
there’s a crook that has nearly gone and took your career/
wonderin how you making all this money/
wonder if these fake people really love me/
well… you reminiscing on back in the day/
you did your first mixtape and you were rapping for change/
on the corner, straight spittin, so happy they played ya/
for the first time on the college radio station/
you knew you could make it, you were getting impatient/
you’re a neighborhood hero but you wanna be the greatest/
get your whole crew on the payroll, get a contract with a major label/
now you’re doing big time things, with them diamonds in your rings/
and you’re rhyming over beats worth a fortune in the streets/
but you still feel somethings missing/
trying to say something but nobody’s listening/
It’s not about the music anymore, it’s the business/
“quit giving them the truth, Ben, we’re trying to sell an image/
If you wanna make moves you better give us ownership of your soul”/
but it will never be enough..
give me something that’ll move my feet ya’ll/
give me something that’ll move my soul/
give me something that’ll move my streets dawg/
give me something I can keep till I’m old…

SOUL CAPITAL LYRICS: "Know the Law" Thursday, Jul 31 2008

KNOW THE LAW- by Soul Capital, lyrics by Ben Brubaker
Sometimes you better know the law…
I wrestle with the truth and I test the lies
Sometimes you better know the law…
Spit the best rhymes when I testify
Sometimes you better know the law…
I’m never gonna quit until I finally get acquitted
Sometimes you better know the law…
I gotta spit it, can I please get a witness?
I know the laws, I wrote them all/ they tried to put me in chains but I broke them off/
tried to put me in a cell but I broke the walls/ now they ask about my taxes, I wrote em off/
Sankoffa ya’ll, you know that history’s repetitive/ you can’t look in the present to find a precedent/
a premise with no evidence is so irrelevant/ I tell them it, but still they buy it cause they selling it/
instead of fellowship, fiends doing felon sh*t/ teens ain’t be celibate and people gettin hella sick/
hard liquor drinkin, we speaking to pink elephants/ supermodel bodies are hella thin like a skeleton/
with no backbone, bring the troops back home/ king george taxing us all for the battle/
of addiction, it’s just a fact known/ hooked on oil like crack and tobacco…
Sometimes you better know the law…
I wrestle with the truth and I test the lies
Sometimes you better know the law…
Spit the best rhymes when I testify
Sometimes you better know the law…
I’m never gonna quit until I finally get acquitted
Sometimes you better know the law…
I gotta spit it, can I please get a witness?
I believe in the law, so I try to stay legal/ but I’m so damn ILL cops think its illegal/
we come a long way, all things being equal/ sometimes we forget, we just people/
believe me gotta hustle, stand poised/ streets will leave you dead after a couple bad choices/
sing like Weezy, you ‘duffle bag boys’ got a voice/ speak of freedom they can’t muffle that noise/
Whose the jury in this MC trial? Feel like the NSA been taping me for a while/
labels try to get their hands on these files like wire-tapped records with the best freestyles/
the judge can’t get enough of me/ you sound weak on the mic like Huckabee/
I do it for the streets, so police handcuffing me/ but I’m my own man so “The Man” can’t f**k with me…
Sometimes you better know the law…
I wrestle with the truth and I test the lies
Sometimes you better know the law…
Spit the best rhymes when I testify
Sometimes you better know the law…
I’m never gonna quit until I finally get acquitted
Sometimes you better know the law…
I gotta spit it, can I please get a witness?

Kevin O’Day Presents… Hip-Hop Alive!
Saturday, April 5, 10 pm
Tipitina’s Uptown
Straight from the precocious hip-hop heads of South Pa’ Promotions and the Flytracks Crew, local drummer and Tulane Professors of Pleasure member Kevin O’Day headlines a night of a “new school” of hip hop, featuring groups and emcees embracing a fuller potential of hip-hop, jazz and funk fusions. O’Day, dropping the beats for wordsmiths MC Know One and the Able Chris, will be followed by funkmaster turntablists Jealous Monk, the teenage prodigies of Floopy Head, and finally DJ Miles Felix, aptly also known as “The Professor.” And for college students looking for a fresh new school on their weekend away from class, discounted student tickets are available for $7 instead of $10 with proof of school ID.
