Truly Unique
Asheru & Blue Black Lyrics

Yo, walkin' in late flagrant, quarter to 2
Arriving late and unapologetic, at 12:15 AM

Tryin' to see what I can get into
Looking for excitement and new experiences

See a few of my crew havin' a good time
Witnessing some of his friends having fun

I don't know, I guess it must run in a bloodline
Suggesting that his friends know how to have a good time because of their shared heritage

Summer slide, incognegro through the sea of people
Sliding through the party unnoticed like a mystery man in a sea of people

Young shortys is fine, but illegal
Referring to underage girls who are physically attractive, but too young for him

Girl please you know this ain't your drink
Informing a girl that she has the wrong drink

One reason 'round you like a rollerskate and rink
Sticking close to her in an attempt to grab her attention

Hit the bar with my whistle with a B-52
Ordering a B-52 shot at the bar

On the rocks with a kick to knock you out the box, DJ
Ordering the drink on the rocks with a powerful kick to get the party started

On the wheel of steel, 1 and 2
Referring to the DJ operating the turntables

Oh shit let me go and see what's up with you
Getting up to interact with someone who caught his attention

Without we gettin' OD'ed and philosophical
Avoiding overindulging or getting too deep in conversation

We creatin' a space where anything is possible
Fostering an environment where anything can happen

We makin' it so even if it's not logical
Encouraging creativity and defying logic

Cause we runnin' spiritual with the biological
Combining spiritual and physical elements to create something unique

A world of fire burn the side of space
A world of passion and energy

Simply bridgin' the gap and make your wild stop common place
Uniting disparate elements to create something familiar and accessible

Stand in front line with rhymes cocked
Taking center stage, ready to perform

Wheter improper written they all get dropped
Regardless of quality, all rhymes get dropped (performed)

Truly unique and we speakin' on a...
Proudly declaring their unique style and approach

A beautiful cat steppin' in, reppin' in, checkin' in
A confident person entering the party and making their presence known

To see a whole lot of A alike niggas like me
To observe many people who are similar to him

Just travelin' through what's up son how are you?
Casually greeting a friend or acquaintance

Ain't nothin' what you gettin' into
Asking what someone is up to, in a casual manner

Just cheesin', freezin', skeezin', pleasin', reason rhymes
Casually expressing himself through various hip-hop elements

Trees and dimes, legion lines, cohesion limes
Referencing drugs, women, and rhymes in his casual expression

And squeezin' mine as we bump and grind
Dancing closely with a partner

Cause braggin', boastin', buggin', toastin'
Rejecting the idea of bragging or boasting

Not believin' the whole shit of the evenin'
Being skeptical of what's happening

We've been bobbin', heartrate... droppin'
Dancing and having a great time

Dress for sweat throughout the reggae set
Dressing comfortably for a reggae set at the party

From all the grindin', windin', dancing from behind and
Getting sweaty from intense dancing

Findin' my niche and all with perfect timin'
Finding his groove and rhythm in the music

Dippin', divin', so-so-socializin'
Socializing in a relaxed and casual fashion

The world is ours so we shouldn't be so suprisin'
Claiming ownership of the world with confidence

Yo, telecommunicate, orate, narrate, regulate
Referencing various skills and abilities he possesses

Delegate, designate, orchestrate chemistry, staciate
Describing his ability to coordinate and manage, and to create chemistry

Dominate, isolate, alleviate and elevate
Explaining his power to excel and improve situations

Just so we can differentiate
Working to stand out from the pack

Truly unique and speakin' on a... Unspoken Heard
Proudly declaring their unique style and association with Unspoken Heard

Yo, what I gotta do to step through
Asking what he needs to do to get past a challenge or obstacle

Yo, Blue Black what you knew that, 1, 2 at
Addressing his friend, Blue Black and suggesting that they start performing

The screw top with a brand new drop
Referring to a new and exciting beat

From my crew who be lovin' that hip-hop
Referring to his crew's love for hip-hop music

See we love it as mush as you do, but you who?
Asserting their love for hip-hop but questioning the listener's dedication

It's me the wah who, surfin' and searchin' like Yahoo!
Identifying himself as a hip-hop enthusiast, eager to discover new and exciting music

With the liable with the cowboy sitar
Referring to a musical instrument that blends eastern and western influences

With a guitar I be the rhyme spit-tar
Combining guitar and rap skills to create a unique sound

I are... fall and the way from your average everyday
Set apart from the ordinary or typical

1, 2, kick the beat and don't stop
Initiating the performance by starting the beat and maintaining the energy

Yo, funny shit I drop
Rapping with humor and wit

Comin' from F-ville yo, the center of attention
Referring to his hometown of Fayetteville as a place where attention is focused

But... yo, I don't give a then watch ya stop flinchin'
Resisting the pressure to conform or be influenced by others

Vivid like DVD and 3Dyou stand fridgin'
Referring to his vivid and powerful performance style

While I digitally sound by mine holdin' a pivot position and
Using digital technology to enhance his sound and place himself in the spotlight

Exquisite you can't deal with it
Claiming a level of artistry that others cannot match

Carry my mic in a case, all chromed out and fitted
Taking good care of his microphone and equipment, showing off his style

Urban out-fitted, I rock with skaters and the thug
Describing his style as fitting in with urban culture and mixing with diverse groups

Poetic cow hooders who set it out in the club
Describing his listeners as poetic and passionate, setting the club on fire

Soon as you go to school, frustrated as hell
Feeling frustrated and unhappy as soon as he enters school

Parents who do they best to keep you out of jail
Parents who work hard to keep their children safe and out of trouble

Critics, antics and mimics all the rest inbetween the hate
Referencing negative influences and criticism he faces

To see a brother mix intelligence with cream, I mean
Proudly combining intelligence and creativity in his work

We either need to be poor, black and conscious
Suggesting that for some, being poor, black and aware of social issues go hand in hand

A bank rolled up kickin' nothin' but the nonsense... but
Rejecting the idea that being rich implies ignorance or lack of social responsibility

Imagine a brother like Ashe goin' out like that
Rejecting the notion that he will conform to expectations or stereotypes

Or Wes Jack or Blue Black Truly Unique
Asserting their unique identity and style as artists
