Monotony

[Intro]
I know you're listenin' (Tell me, can you feel it? One time), ha
Tonedeff, '96
(Check it, check it, check it out, uh)
We in the mix, uh
(Yeah, tell me can you feel it?)
Come on, come on, uh, yo
Check it, check it, check it out (Tell me, can you feel it?)
(Bring it, bring it, bring it on)
Te-te-tell me, can you feel it? (Yes, kid)
Come on, bring it

[Verse 1]
I am a product of artistic inspiration
My words are spoken only in an attempt to form a lyrical condemnation
Of today's intoxication with sedation
The threat of wax evasion, since the day they killed the crowd participation
It's been only precipitation chasin' rain clouds on the never endin'
To prevent the lendin' of the negative auras that they're sendin'
Over those instrumentals, no incidentals gone about it
That element will keep your mind shrouded with the doubted
I've ranted and I've raved and I've shouted
Wonderin' how'd it get so irreversibly rerouted
Indelibly crowded, incredibly clouded with the wackest that the wack have had to offer
In fact, I take my hat off to Chaucer
But, kids be poetically pathetic
Claimin' they've aided and abetted, now Hip-hop is diabetic
Who's got the anesthetic?
Tonedeff be on it to get it monotone and synthetic, nobody said it better
Keepin' the sugar embedded, niggas are now indebted
To the rhythm in the notion that hookers get wet and spread it
Off is the way I set to the tune of how I bring it to your juncture
305 is comin' through to puncture
The status quo, I be the baddest bro to tap it slow
I'm lost as far as mathematics go, but lyrics are the major
'Cause it's within my nature to debate and deviate ya
That's unless you are your own, so, I'ma keep it monotone

[Chorus]
Exist to be free
Revise the Hip-Hop mentality, you must be stoppin' the monotony
It's how it oughta be, but all these wannabes that MC
Continue droppin' the monotony
Commit to who ya be, to live for MC artistry
Tonedeff be stoppin' the monotony
It's verbal sodomy, when all these wannabes that MC
Continue droppin' the monotony

[Verse 2]
I be the M-O-N-O, the T-O-N-E
The D-E to the double the F, I'm fresh when I free alphabetically
I did it steadily, yo, with my nigga Gilligan
And then I slammed with Mister Logic, RBM be iller than
A schizophrenic in the brain, we strained so hard to gain fame
Throughout our years of adolescence, to this day we learned our lessons
But above it all, we learned that in the 305
True lyricists never say die, so keep it on

[Chorus]
Exist to be free
Revise the Hip-Hop mentality, you must be stoppin' the monotony (Feel it)
It's how it oughta be, but all these wannabes that MC
Continue droppin' the monotony
(On and on, and on, and on, and on, right)
Commit to who ya be, to live for MC artistry
(You know we keep it monotone)
Tonedeff be stoppin' the monotony
It's verbal sodomy, when all these wannabes that MC
Continue droppin' the monotony

[Verse 3]
This year I keep it monotonic
One Vibe, One Love, One Drum – from analog to monophonic
'Cause when I get on it, my monologue be monolithic
Niggas claim that they're gifted but they're only monotypic
Hip-hop's monopolistic; A&Rs are sadistic
'Cause they've twisted heads to points where the market's cannibalistic
But, yo, I've come equipped with the shit that be automatic
How can you be artistic when you be monochromatic?
RBM be my hermanos, the name be monogrammatic
When I become emphatic my words are monosyllabic
Yo, we go mono a mono in the tragic state of static
I'm mad 'cause I've had it with all of the gats and ganja addicts
My life's melodramatic
MCs figure they’re hard, and think that they’re monometallic, their minds are so simplistic
They’re just a bunch of misfits claimin' they’re monogamistic
Yo, but I know, they're suckers and they're bound to catch mono

[Chorus]
Exist to be free
Revise the Hip-Hop mentality, you must be stoppin' the monotony, uh
It's how it oughta be, but all these wannabes that MC
Continue droppin' the monotony (Keep it on, right)
Commit to who ya be, to live for MC artistry
Tonedeff be stoppin' the monotony (305 kick it live)
It's verbal sodomy, when all these wannabes that MC
Continue droppin' the monotony (and it don't stop), uh

[Outro]
Monotone style (Can you feel it? Yeah)
Monotone style (Uh, yeah)
Got that monotone style, know what I'm sayin'?
Monotone style (Can you feel it? Right)
Tonedeff be in the house, representin' the 305
Monotone style
You know we kickin' it live, yo to the 305, ha
Monotone style (Can you feel it?)
You don't stop, right (Come on)
Monotone style
Monotone style (Can you feel it?)
Monotone style
We goin' solo like Han
Monotone style
Uh
