Jurassic 5 - Great Expectations lyrics

Whatcha gonna do, come back, back again

No doubt, uh, it took ten years
For me to pressure cook my fears
Now my front line rhymes moving
Up from the rear
My dream slash career appeared ever so clear
Now I'm able to touch, smell, feel
Speak and hear
My fans cheer, my time is finally here
The past depart the present cause
The future is near
Anticipation, magnified my motivation
Direct my energy to touch nations
Been entertaining since niggas
Was really banging
Dancing at the old folks parties, pancaking
I've been waiting for my time to shine
From Catholic school to John Muir Junior High
From? to rocking at the Good Life
We paid the price to keep rhyming
And rip shit on the mic
Yo, cause if you only knew
What we been through
The struggle and the pain
To maintain and continue

Expectations, on our committee
Unified relations
We Rebel our Rhythm through tribulation
And treble and bass the
Situation with dedication

Yo, go get your ticket, your seats
Snacks and beverages
While we get wicked all in your brains
Cracks and crevices
Servicing bulletins to you critical puritans
Who be shouting in my vicinity
Doubting my capability (Expect) no defeat
My whole fleet be scorching
Keep across your vision blurred
From heat distortion
The proportions better take precaution
While we shake the portion fakes are lost in
Never flossing
(The antidote for your mood) We sloppy
Dope and I'm hoping that
What I wrote get you open
Like a Fallopian tube
In my crew we include brothers who worthy
Rebels and DJ's from LA, I'm from Chi
He from Jersey, ever thirsty for success
Plus never vexed
Flipping for Allah cause he blessed us
With the talent
To make Jurassic your next guest
Rocking since the '84 Fresh Fest, yes

Great expectations, on our committee
Unified relations
We Rebel our Rhythm through tribulation
And treble and bass the
Situation with dedication

Ayo my story starts in the NJ state
And gets deep like a movie
Bruce and Demi make i moved to the land of
Sand and ill earthquakes
I didn't know this was the place I'd
Get my piece of the cake
Or the piece of the pie, U-N-I T-Y
Every Thursday night at the Life
We kept it tight that's right
That's where we dwelled and
The rhythm rebelled we a blast from the past
Like those shotgun shells
Not no macho males with raps about a beer
(Our mission is to persevere) So
Haters can play the rear
We toured the stratosphere from
Here to London Square
You swear you're prepared to diss
What we have here indeed
Time ticks as rapid rhymes rip
Earth and time split in time to find it's
Just another manic Monday, and one day
We'll shine, too, so it's true
When my crew say

Expectations, on our committee
Unified relations
We Rebel our Rhythm through tribulation
And treble and bass the
Situation with dedication

Yo, whether you love to hate it
If it's in or outdated
If I've been overrated or
Maybe your most favorite
You expect me still to write my verse on time
And I expect you not to front
When you hear my rhyme
Don't expect me to smile cause
It's in good taste
I know cats that's no mistake
Smiling in my face
And don't expect to try to guess
If I'm mad or not
Or if I'm cold or hot, you would know if not
And don't expect me to come
And just bite my tongue
It's kind of hard to forget
What some brothers have done
But my mother always said
You forgive and forget
And expect that most promises won't be kept
I guess I gave credit
Where it wasn't deserved
To brothers must have preferred
Not keep they word the bigger the burden
The bigger the uncertain
No explanation for my creation
Great expectation
