Truly Unique
Asheru And Blue Black Of The Unspoken Heard Lyrics

Yo, walkin' in late... flagrant, quarter to 2
I arrived late, unapologetic, around 1:45 AM.

Tryin' to see what I can get into
Looking for something to do or join.

See a few of my crew havin'...a good time
Observing a group of friends enjoy themselves.

I don't know... I guess it must run in... a bloodline
Unsure of why they are having a good time, maybe a family trait.

Summer slide, incognegro... through the sea of people
Walking through a crowd unnoticed during summertime.

Young shortys is fine but... illegal
Referring to attractive girls who are underage.

Girl please you know this ain't your drink
Telling a girl that she is drinking the wrong drink.

One reason 'round you like a rollerskate and rink
Staying close to the girl, metaphorically, like a roller rink guard.

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
Asking the DJ to play music with a strong beat.

On the wheel of steel, 1 and 2
Referring to the turntables controlled by the DJ.

Oh shit... let me go and see what's up with you
Going to talk to someone who caught their attention.

Without we gettin' OD'ed and philosophical
Avoiding getting too deep or philosophical.

We creatin' a space where anything is possible
Producing a carefree atmosphere where anything can happen.

We makin' it so... even if it's not logical
Encouraging people to have fun even if it doesn't make sense.

'Cause we runnin' spiritual with the biological
Combining the physical and the spiritual aspects of life.

A world of fire burn the side of space
A metaphorical description of their lifestyle.

Simply bridgin' the gap... and make your wild stop common place
Connecting cultures and making wild behavior more normal.

Stand in front line with rhymes cocked
Being prepared with clever rhymes and good lyrics.

Wheter improper written... they all get dropped
Even if the words are not perfect, the rhymes still work well and are used.

Truly unique and we speakin' on a...
They are truly unique and expressing themselves through their art.

A beautiful cat steppin' in... reppin' in... checkin' in...
Someone cool and confident arriving and checking in with friends.

To see a whole lot of A alike niggas like me
Seeing many people like oneself in the crowd.

Just travelin' through... what's up son... how are you?
Passing through and greeting acquaintances.

Ain't nothin' what you gettin' into
Asking what someone is doing for fun.

Just cheesin', freezin', skeezin', pleasin', reason rhymes
Having fun and entertaining others with witty rhymes.

Trees and dimes, legion lines, cohesion limes
Describing various aspects of their fun night out.

And squeezin' mine as we bump and grind
Dancing closely together with others.

'Cause braggin', boastin', buggin', toastin'
Making fun of people who brag or toast too much.

Not believin'...the whole shit of the evenin'
Disbelieving all the hype of the night.

We've been... bobbin', heartrate... droppin'
Dancing and having fun while the excitement dies down.

Dress for sweat... throughout the reggae set
Wearing clothes suitable for dancing throughout the night.

From all the grindin', windin', dancing from behind and
Describing different types of dancing.

Findin' my niche and all with perfect timin'
Finding one's personal enjoyment at the right moment.

Dippin', divin', so-so-socializin'
Alternating between dancing and socializing.

The world is ours so we shouldn't be so suprisin'
Agreeing that they should be living life to the fullest.

Yo, telecommunicate... orate, narrate, regulate
Showing off with various words that rhyme with 'ate'

Delegate, designate, orchestrate chemistry, staciate
More words that rhyme with 'ate' but related to personal accomplishments and achievements.

Dominate, isolate, alleviate and elevate
Describing traits that help one succeed and excel.

Just so we can differentiate
Doing these things to stand out and be different from the crowd.

Yo, what I gotta do to step through
Asking what they need to do to be recognized or get ahead.

Yo, Blue Black... what you knew that, 1, 2 at
Directing a question to Blue Black.

The screw top... with a brand new drop
Referring to alcohol with a new bottle.

From my crew who be lovin' that hip-hop
Drinking with friends who enjoy hip-hop music.

See we love it as mush as you do, but you who?
Pointing out that they all love hip-hop music but to whom are they speaking.

It's me the wah who, surfin' and searchin' like Yahoo!
Identifying oneself as someone who is always searching for something new and exciting, like searching on Yahoo!.

With the liable... with the cowboy sitar
Playing music with a Middle Eastern string instrument.

With a guitar... I be the rhyme spit-tar
Playing a guitar and rapping.

I are... fall and the way from your average everyday
Referring to one's unique personality, which is distinct from the norm.

1, 2, kick the beat and don't stop
Encouraging the DJ to continue playing music.

Yo, funny shit I drop
Saying that they are funny and entertaining.

Comin' from F-ville... yo, the center of attention
Coming from Fayetteville, a place that people always pay attention to.

But... yo, I don't give a... then watch ya stop flinchin'
Expressing confidence and not caring what others think.

Vivid like DVD and 3D... you stand fridgin'
Looking bright and vivid like a high-quality video, making people stop and stare.

While I digitally sound... by mine holdin' a pivot position and
Sounding great through electronic means, while owning a central position in the room.

Exquisite you can't deal with it
Being so excellent that other people can't handle it.

Carry my mic in a case, all chromed out and fitted
Taking care of one's musical equipment and keeping it looking nice.

Urban out-fitted, I rock with skaters and the thug
Dressing fashionably and associating with people from different backgrounds.

Poetic cow hooders who set it out in the club
Rapping and performing poetry in the club.

Soon as you go to school, frustrated as hell
Stressing out as soon as one goes to school.

Parents who do they best to keep you out of jail
Parents who try to keep their children out of trouble with the law.

Critics, antics and mimics all the rest inbetween the hate
People who criticize, copy or imitate without adding anything helpful.

To see a brother mix intelligence with cream, I mean
To see someone mix intelligence with money or success.

We either need to be poor, black and conscious
The idea that one can only be artistic if they are poor and Black.

A bank rolled up... kickin' nothin' but the nonsense... but
Still, people can become successful but be foolish with their money or lifestyle.

Imagine a brother like Ashe goin' out like that
Reflecting on how someone like Ashe, who is intelligent and talented, should not live recklessly.

Or Wes Jack or Blue Black... Truly Unique
Naming members of the group and emphasizing their uniqueness.

Truly unique and we speakin' on a...
Reiterating the group's unique style and creative expression.
