    jam of the day

    had to dig this out of my stuff when i moved because i love
    this record so much... yet another perfect summer jam.

    IDIB "state of the mailorder" update summer 2k8

    hello. so as you may or may not know, we moved from scenic
    jersey city to a much nicer area. when we moved we switched
    post offices (thank god). ever since we moved we have experienced
    something we havent experienced in a long time: efficiency.
    we feel this post office is a new beginning for us. some of you
    have emailed us surprised by the speed in which their mail
    arrived. we couldn't be happier. if there are any more issues
    with the mail email us. but i doubt there will be any more problems.

    also we have been receiving some returned mail thanks to the jersey
    city post office. many of you have received emails from us and we
    are returning what we have been sent back. that would be a few
    of the fabled "spring bundles"... remember that fiasco?

    anyway, we are running very low on tote bags and shirts, so if
    you want one i would order it soon. Those designs will not be
    made anymore after we run out of these. We are also down to the
    copies of the Farah 12" and IN THE CITY 12"... As you know we
    wont repress these, but they are available thru all of your
    favorite digital outposts if you so feel inclined.

    baleric rap sumer jam

    freeway is one of the most underrated rappers in my
    opinion. this is an ultimate summer jam. i remember
    the summer it came out it was blasted from all the
    car stereos. from the golden age of pre-reggaeton.

    the instrumental version is hypnotic. the vocal version
    is sick and has some of my favorite freeway lyrics.
    angry shit about doing what it takes to feed his kids.
    seems to be the theme of the song. even a pre-
    corny Jay-Z makes an appearance.
    more lazy summer posting! gigs coming soon.






    vocal version
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FLjP1ayqIU


    Man if I get rocked, this shit for my kids nigga
    It's that real shit...
    We still hustle 'til the sun come up
    Crack a 40 when the sun go down
    It's a cold winter
    Y'all niggaz better bundle up
    And I bet it be a hotter summer, grab a onion
    Yes the ROC gets down, you hot now, listen up
    Don't you know cops' whole purpose is to lock us down?
    And throw away the key
    But without this drug shit your kids ain't got no way to eat, huh?
    We still try to keep Mom...smilin'...
    Cuz when the teeth stop showin' and the stomach start growlin'
    Then the heat start flowin'
    If you from the hood I know you feel me
    If a sneak start leanin' and the heat stop workin'
    Then my heat start workin' I'm-a rob me a person
    Catch a nigga sleepin' while he out in the open...and I'm-a get him
    We gotta raise our kids while we livin'
    Make a million off-a record bail my niggaz outta prison
    Fuck a Bentley or a Lexus just my boys in the squadder
    Nigga talk reckless then I hit 'em with the Smif 'n...
    But I'm never snitchin' I'm a rider
    If my kids hungry snatch the dishes out ya kitchen
    I'll be wylin' til they pick me outta line-up...
    We keep the nines tucked, chopped dimes up, rap about it
    Wyle out, fuck niggaz up, laugh about it
    I'm not tryin' to visit the morgue but Freeway move out 'til I sit with the Lord
    'Til I...get my shit together, clean up my sins
    Freeway got it in like 10 in the mornin'
    And I can get it to ya like 10 while you yawnin' mang...
    Still deliver the order mang!
    And I ain't talkin' bout chicken and gravy mang!
    I'm talkin' bout bricks 'o ye-yo, halves and quarters
    4 and a halves of hash you do the math
    Swing past us scoop up your daughter
    She wanna roll wit' a thug that rap, you do the math
    He won't blast 'til my stacks in order mang!
    [Jay-Z]
    ...MANG! Lemme get 'em Free
    Hove never slackin' mang, zippin' in the black Range
    Faster than the red ghost, gettin' ghost wit' Pac-Mang
    One-time know a got a knack to get that change
    Leader of the black gang, R-O-C mang
    Bang like T-Mac, ski mask air it out
    Gotta kill witnesses 'cause Free's beard's stickin' out
    Y'all don't want no witness shit, we squeeze hammers mang
    Bullets breeze by you, like Lousiana mang...
    But I gotta feed Tianna mang...
    So I move keys you can call me the Piano Man
    Rain...sleet, hail...snow man
    Slang dough, E, hydro man...
    [Beanie Sigel]
    ...no, B. Sige in the third lane
    Gramps still prayin' workin on my nerves man...
    Like, Son you gotta get your soul clean...
    Before they blow them horns like Coltrane...
    But still I cry tears of a hustler
    Wipe tears from my mother, pull out beers for her brothers...
    That's above us, make beds for the babies
    Tuck kids under covers, buy cribs for their mothers
    Shit I'll probably be wylin' with their fathers
    Tell Ms. Robert, tell Enijah that I'm ridin' for her father
    That's like my brother, like same mother different father
    Any problems dog know I got 'em
    And still we grind from the bottom
    Just to make it to the bottom sold crack in the alleyways
    Still gave back Marcy a Dollar Day
    Real gangstas make hood holidays
    They ain't thank us but we still paid homage mang
    Soul Food Sunday lookin' like Big Momma's mang
    Tell the gang I never break my promise mang...mang...unnh!
