oh, guess who's back?
Yep, it's us.
(we're the Silversmiths)

lyrics

Sankofa:
From Okinawa to Boca Raton, it’s Kofa Deezious
Agent Orange cooking up the batch, never overheated
My soul is emboldened, never fitting the mold that’s supplied
Doing what I feel, thus my head I’m holding it high
Cultivate every crop with just the right ingredients
Collide with neediness, I risk the need live
Despite the deviousness, this is myth and legend
Understand the focus required when I rip a session
Don’t kick confections, Confucius taking single steps in sequence
Silversmiths, JON and I rep allegiance
We left the keys in the lock, no reason to raise concern
Craftsmanship and camaraderie, giving the lathe a turn
Come walk, or in my crutched case, hop with me
I used to happily believe in meritocracy
I wear Monopoly bills thin playing games with my son
And that’s the main time money is fun

Hook:
We don’t put our lives on, we put them in the line
Intertwined with the rhyme, we give a bit and climb
Been denying what you hear here is dope
But guess what? Silversmiths, yeah, we swim in the moat!

JON?DOE:
You hear the tic tock when I'm creepin even out ya evening
With that hip hop that ya seekin in between the meek and eking
It's not the reason that speak in over beats when
Ever slick thoughts reach in we just freak till they retreatin
See the cretins creepin through the streets- rats to the cheese
Infest the culture now she's askin to breathe
We come thru, karate chop to the back of the knees
Then delivering the sack and the seed

Sankofa:
No complaints, I have what I need and then a bit more
You know the drill, power through it with a slick roar
The twists and turns presented a chance to earn the pennant
...Indie since the day glo green was first presented
When someone rapping on the net was soft
Now it’s soundcloud r us, can barely fend them off
Hold the world hostage, dope beats the ransom demand
Agent Orange 2020, yep my candidate can

JON?DOE:
Call me crocodile or alligator imma fuck ya smile up later
U the hated face that motivates the mallet placer
Salivator pallet raider Shallot flavor allocator
From here to Talladega Redefine the style and take ya
Ass on a journey, get the gurney for ya broken limbs
The facts is our act shut em down but we opening
So don't become the token pin
Bowling down the sucker's from the gutter when I hold a pen
Cutting through the moats a fin, come on in the waters fine
Agent Orange sent the beat now its slaughter time
Yeah its kinda messy but massage the mind
out to climb the art of rhyme until they call it god sublime
