T-Rock immediately moved to Memphis and began recording. His clever lyricism and tongue-twisting style immediately endeared T-Rock to fans all over the south. Widely regarded as one of the best lyricists to ever grace a Three 6 Mafia track, his appearances were partly responsible for the platinum successes of two albums and the sale of hundreds of thousands of other albums.
After a series of disagreements between he and his label, T-Rock decided to leave the Hypnotized Minds imprint he was signed to and embark on an independent career. Hooking up with his hometown crew Area 51, T-Rock went on to release several underground classics that have sold over 100,000 copies with barely any promotion or radio play. T-Rock has worked with a multitude of artists that include Too Short, Pastor Troy, Lil' Scrappy, Bo Hagon, Gangsta Boo, Lil Weavah, Max Minelli,Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Gangsta Pat, Al Kapone, Young Buck, Macboney & AK (of P$C) and Bizzy Bone just to name a few major names.
2006 was a great year for T-Rock and his fans as it saw the release of 'The Kush'. The album features production from M.A.J. of Xplosive Productions, DJ Cree, and T-Rock himself. Guest appearances include Max Minelli, P. Dukes of Countree Noise, and his Area 51 family. "This will be my most complete album to date," states the fiery emcee, "I've grown a lot and I believe its gonna show on this album." To say the south is waiting for this release would be an understatement.
Puff Puff Pass
T-Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Misanthropes puff tuff
Buck up at your pigeonholes
Normal Christian home at a distance
Behind his picket rows
I was on a double yellow line
Beached with a Lilliputian army
Suicide kings on the 495, do
The math, do or die
Never knew to chew the fat
Do his upturned, diamondbacks max flicker
The only shutter speed he ever had
To shoot his thriller was winter 88
Baby made a nest out of stories
Of Babylon and galactic unrest
Caddy stack of rumors on the shoeless express
Where you could read your epitaph
Before your foot even slips
And I keep adding to this Rube Goldberg
Mechanism after wacky mechanism
Loaded and holstered
They operate accordingly
Every bell and whistle had a trigger
But not an ultimate goal
To compose toward Amigo
Study the mother of all Blitzkriegs
Shoulda kept the lambs and
Lions in split screens bitch please
Panic will divide the herd at the vital nerve
Drivers who tidy and Firebirds, I emerge
Hayday like a symphony arranged
In melee attacks
Wake em where the mayday is at
And when he stood up on the ledge
Where the pigeons guard the eggs
His brain hollered jump while
His dark heart said
I walked through fire and did not get burned
These are the slings and arrows that
Sing carols on Arcadian rain
They're honeycombing kings and
Cowards the same
Not exactly Sunny D and school plays
Fluffernutter, baby carrots more akin
To pacing parent doomsday
Circle of abrasive parrots placed inside
A room stay to duplicate the moves made
Say form of lazy on some
Gladly pay you Tuesday
Two would follow suit into the crew suede
But you would rather lose it all than mutate
Weapon revvin up
Worms through your segments up
Bedlam as the leper section bed
Off through the lapel chump
And you were sweating bullets on
Some irony is golden
With no commitment issues in the moment
Itchy finger crispy when a
Morning you were open
Spin of liquors frozen ill of fortune
Down from any chamber chosen
And when it clicked instead of banged
The little breath that fled his fangs
Was drenched in the belief that you
Had hoped no one had noticed
But -this is not a competition of the damned
All Plebs broil equally, no idiosyncrasies
That secretly would climb up out
Of the silver foil
Where the skippys pitter patter past
The sleeping killers coil
One man dogs playing poker yoke a harpy up
One hand on his heart like his
Bubble juice pocket car key tuck
One long mile of dog fence
Got him kicking a hornets nest
Until the sidewalk ends
I walked through fire and did not get burned
Puff Tuff puff tuff

Line by Line Meaning
I saw them, they're out there man monsters
I observed the existence of dreadful individuals, symbolic of their monstrous behavior
Misanthropes puff tuff
Disliking humanity, they smoke heavily to escape their disdain
Buck up at your pigeonholes
They rebel against societal norms and expectations
Normal Christian home at a distance
A conventional religious upbringing is far from their reality
Behind his picket rows
They hide their true selves behind a façade of suburban normalcy
I was on a double yellow line
I found myself in a risky situation, teetering between two extremes
Beached with a Lilliputian army
I felt trapped, surrounded by a small but overwhelming force
To suffocate and divide
Their intention is to oppress and create divisions
Suicide kings on the 495, do
Rebellious individuals who have embraced danger and the possibility of self-destruction on a highway
The math, do or die
It's a matter of survival, a risky calculation
Never knew to chew the fat
They never engaged in meaningless conversations
Do his upturned, diamondbacks max flicker
He used his skills to capture fleeting moments on film
The only shutter speed he ever had
His ability to capture images was his only consistent attribute
To shoot his thriller was winter 88
His most impactful work was created during a cold and intense period in his life
Baby made a nest out of stories
He found solace and comfort in his imagination and narratives
Of Babylon and galactic unrest
He immersed himself in tales of ancient civilizations and interstellar turmoil
Caddy stack of rumors on the shoeless express
He accumulated a multitude of gossip and rumors on a train filled with vulnerable individuals
Where you could read your epitaph
In that environment, one could foresee their own downfall
Before your foot even slips
The consequences were imminent, even before making a mistake
And I keep adding to this Rube Goldberg
He continues to enhance his complex and convoluted creative process
Mechanism after wacky mechanism
One eccentric invention after another
Loaded and holstered
Ready and prepared
They operate accordingly
They function according to their unique set of principles
Every bell and whistle had a trigger
Each intricate detail served a purpose
But not an ultimate goal
However, there was no clear end objective
To compose toward Amigo
To create a masterpiece
Study the mother of all Blitzkriegs
Analyzing the most impactful and devastating event
Shoulda kept the lambs and Lions in split screens bitch please
Regretting the decision to separate the innocent and the fierce
Panic will divide the herd at the vital nerve
Fear and chaos will cause individuals to turn against each other
Drivers who tidy and Firebirds, I emerge
Those who conform and maintain order will witness my emergence
Hayday like a symphony arranged
A peak time of success, orchestrated beautifully
In melee attacks
Amidst chaotic and intense confrontations
Wake em where the mayday is at
Awaken them to the imminent danger and urgency
And when he stood up on the ledge
When he confronted his most vulnerable position
Where the pigeons guard the eggs
In a place where protection and vulnerability coexist
His brain hollered jump while
His mind urged him to take a leap of faith
His dark heart said
But his sinister desires resisted and discouraged him
I walked through fire and did not get burned
I faced challenges head-on and remained unscathed
These are the slings and arrows that
These are the hardships and struggles that
Sing carols on Arcadian rain
Bring both joy and sorrow in a peaceful environment
They're honeycombing kings and
They are infiltrating and weakening influential figures
Cowards the same
As well as spineless individuals
Not exactly Sunny D and school plays
Far from being cheerful and innocent
Fluffernutter, baby carrots more akin
Rather, they resemble indulgent and unhealthy treats, while appearing innocent
To pacing parent doomsday
Symbolizing the impending catastrophe that anxious parents anticipate
Circle of abrasive parrots placed inside
A group of critical and confrontational individuals confined within
A room stay to duplicate the moves made
Contained in a room, they replicate their actions
Say form of lazy on some
Labeling it as a form of laziness, to a certain degree
Gladly pay you Tuesday
They are willing to sacrifice future payment for immediate gratification
Two would follow suit into the crew suede
Two individuals will conform and join the rebellious group
But you would rather lose it all than mutate
You prefer to risk losing everything than to adapt and change
Weapon revvin up
Preparing for a confrontation
Worms through your segments up
Corrupting and infiltrating your vulnerable areas
Bedlam as the leper section bed
Chaos ensues like a contagious disease in a segregated area
Off through the lapel chump
Escaping through an unsuspecting individual
And you were sweating bullets on
You were filled with anxiety and fear
Some irony is golden
Finding humor in the midst of a contradicting situation
With no commitment issues in the moment
Without hesitation or doubts in that particular instance
Itchy finger crispy when a
Anxious fingers trembling eagerly when
Morning you were open
You were receptive and vulnerable in the morning
Spin of liquors frozen ill of fortune
The rotation of alcoholic drinks has brought unwelcome consequences
Down from any chamber chosen
Descending from any selected location
And when it clicked instead of banged
And when it happened unexpectedly instead of occurring dramatically
The little breath that fled his fangs
The momentary relief that escaped his sharp mouth
Was drenched in the belief that you
Infused with the belief that you
Had hoped no one had noticed
Wished that nobody had taken notice
But -this is not a competition of the damned
However, this is not a contest among the condemned
All Plebs broil equally, no idiosyncrasies
All ordinary people suffer equally, without any unique characteristics
That secretly would climb up out
That would secretly emerge from within
Of the silver foil
Of the superficial façade
Where the skippys pitter patter past
Where the innocent individuals innocuously move by
The sleeping killers coil
The lurking dangerous individuals prepare for action
One man dogs playing poker yoke a harpy up
Untrustworthy individuals manipulate others in deceptive games
One hand on his heart like his
One hand placed over his heart, resembling his
Bubble juice pocket car key tuck
Ready to swiftly depart with his concealed car key
One long mile of dog fence
A lengthy stretch of barriers and restrictions
Got him kicking a hornets nest
Provoked him to stir up trouble and confrontation
Until the sidewalk ends
Persisting in his rebellious behavior until there are no more boundaries
Puff Tuff puff tuff
Continue smoking heavily, escaping reality
