Next Dose
Rugged Intellect Lyrics

I reposes your lives
I take control of your lives

It's mandatory that you press rewind
You must go back and reflect on what I'm saying

You better recognize
You should acknowledge and understand

I'm panoramic while you petrified
I have a broad perspective while you are scared and frozen

I'm not the best alive
I don't claim to be the greatest

But when I grab the mic and spit you could've
But when I take the microphone and rap, you might've

Swore it was holy the way I testify
Believed it was sacred, like I was testifying

I swore to never die, paragraphs electrify
I promised to always be alive, my words have a powerful impact

Since you flex and fly
Because you boast and act confidently

I'mma spray you with a pesticide
I'll metaphorically attack you with something that destroys pests

Rest your eyes
Take a break and relax

I keeps it gully when it's specified
I stay true to my roots when it's clear and defined

And if it's memorized I'll kick
And if it's memorized, I'll deliver

The diction so you're mesmerized
The style of my speaking will captivate you

Before we sever ties it's best
Before we end our connection, it's wise

Advised to strike the clashes
Recommended to confront and resolve conflicts

I make examples of rappers and
I use rappers as illustrations and

Build my rites of passage
Create my own traditions and milestones

Here comes the righteous savage
Now arrives the morally upright warrior

This psychopathic,?
This mentally disturbed person,?

They bite the wrap but I catch
They imitate the style, but I catch

'em and feed 'em nitrous gases
Them and give them a dose of harmful substances

I like the fact that I'm the
I appreciate the reality that I'm the

Roughest of up and comers
Most rugged among those who are rising

Undercover brother
Secretly making moves, like a spy

Fuckin' your mother with busted rubbers
Having sexual encounters with your mother using worn-out condoms

Man it's right or left
Man, it's a choice between right or wrong

You either fight for breath or die for less
You either struggle to survive or settle for less

So get your license checked or fuck
So make sure you're prepared or screw

Yourself like dykes in cyber sex
Yourself over like lesbians in online sexual activities

It's Rugged I with the best
It's Rugged Intellect with the best

From the west coast (west coast)
Representing the western coast (west coast)

We keep it gully with fire
We bring authenticity and intensity with our music

That make your flesh roast (flesh roast)
That burns and causes pain to your body (flesh roast)

The Intellect's dope
The Intellect is excellent (slang for good)

Rassy leave your neck broke
Rassy will leave you with a broken neck

And on behalf of the whole team
And on behalf of the entire group

This is the next dose (next dose)
This is the next powerful dose (next dose)

Ayo, I'mma walkin' homicide
Hey, I am a walking threat to kill

Lord of War in white bapes
Ruler of conflict wearing white shoes (brand called BAPE)

If I wile out they gonna have to
If I go crazy, they'll have to

Yellow tape the whole United States
Block off the entire country with caution tape

Feelin' like I'm the only stinkin' human
Feeling like I'm the only worthless human

On The Planet Of The Ape
On a planet dominated by oppressive beings

Can't manage to escape
Can't find a way to break free

Crash landed on the state
Came down suddenly on the place

Named it California
Named it California

Fornicated with porn stars
Engaged in sexual relations with pornographic actresses

Greek hoes in Astoria
Greek women in the neighborhood of Astoria

If losers pay for pussy
If losers pay for sex

Shouldn't pussy pay players?
Shouldn't sex workers pay successful individuals?

And if I spit three pointers ain't
And if I rap impressively, isn't it

16 just a lay up?
Equivalent to scoring two points easily? (basketball reference)

Been to church befo'
I've attended church before

Put the money in the basket
Donated money during the church service

Or we can go to church
Or we can engage in violence

Put the dummy in the casket
Put the foolish person in a coffin

It's on my own pops, I'm a self made bastard
I achieved success without my father's help, I'm a self-made person

Like Lazarus in Nazareth, dead man walkin'
Similar to Lazarus in Nazareth, someone who came back to life

Weird thing about life
Strange aspect of life

Nobody gettin' out alive cannibal, eat MC's
Everyone dies eventually, I metaphorically consume other rappers

I just shitted out a spine
I just metaphorically expelled something weak

Psst, yo I'm just gettin' outta line
Hey, I'm just stepping out of the expected boundaries

Rugged spittin' out design
Rugged is rapping with a unique style

I'm just givin' rappers time times up
I'm just giving rappers a chance, but their time is running out

I paint a melody with lyrics
I create a musical composition with my words

Cause I'm musically bright
Because I have talent when it comes to music

Reputedly nice, truthfully, I'm usually hype
Known to be talented, honestly, I'm usually energetic and enthusiastic

Refusin' to bite, my lunacy is brutally trife
Refusing to copy, my madness is intensely rough

Losin' the fight is somethin' that
Being defeated is something that

You're soon to dislike
You're about to dislike

Let me tell you motherfuckers how
Let me inform all of you how

I grew to be shiest
I became sly and cunning

Poverty was gruesome so dudes
Being poor was horrible, so guys

Refused to be priced my man Domingo said
Refused to be undervalued, my friend Domingo said

"My crew should be tight"
"My group should be close-knit"

That's why I roll with street survivors not
That's why I associate with those who overcome hardships, not

The cats who get they jewelry swiped
The people who have their jewelry stolen

Times are crazy if you're livin'
Times are insane if you're living

Where the truancy's strife
Where skipping school leads to struggles

Cops harass you when they pass you
Police bother you when they drive by

When you're cruisin' at night
When you're driving around at night

I seen 'em blastin' at this dude with a pipe
I witnessed them shooting at this person with a weapon

They turned around and saw me lookin'
They noticed me watching them

Walked away and put the cruiser in flight
Walked away and drove the police car away quickly

Close your eyes and see the vision
Visualize and understand the perspective

That I move to the light
That I achieve and progress towards a brighter future

If you see the blue and the white
If you observe the police lights

Your views are precise
Your observations are accurate

I made a point so I can prove that I'm right
I emphasized an important message to demonstrate that I'm correct

I bring the fire to the Heavens like
I bring intense energy to a divine level like

The Devil started shootin' at Christ c'mon
The Devil began attacking Christ, come on
