Produced by Japanese Producer "CM Smooth from Osaka" this track is jazz hip-hop is its rawest form where I tell tells others to "Deal With It" .. deal with what exactly?.... I guess whatever they are unhappy about with me!!! You’d be surprised!! I recently recorded 5 tracks with CM over his beats and I must say, I was hugely shocked when he delivered the calibre of work he did. He is like Melodiverse, supremely talented.
lyrics
Intro / One time for CM Smooth / and one time as we bust a move / and one time for Funky D / and grab the mic and just MC and… [x2] / Verse One / Pick up the pen like Picasso, I write like I gots no time to waste / I’m so quick they say “not so fast, slow down sunny I can’t keep up” / So I slow but there’s Norway like Oslo / I’m incognito as far as the cops know / unrevealing like women don’t let they top show / microphone assassin so I got to get my props yo’ / dedicated all my service to hip-hop yo’ / I don’t rush I bop slow, I’m a perfectionist / tell me “what’s point if you ain’t listening to the rest of this?” / But people want to criticise and be a pessimist / but couldn’t do the way that I do it and do it effortless / nevertheless, my message is I just can’t lose / chillin’ with my dude we call him CM Smooth / he’s on the beat and I float on the rhyme that’s how we do / Blackcurrent crew with the Blackcurrent two / so forget it if you’re trying to attack me / cos I roll too deep from the Borough of Hackney, East London / they tell me I don’t sound like a Londoner / but this is no misrepresentation like a “Wonder Bra” / I am what I is and I is what I am / and I is what I was, you don’t like it? Too bad / you didn’t want him to, but man he still did it / so put your headphones on and deal with it / Chorus / Deal with it / yo’ it’s the way the game is, it’s the way we used to running the biz / just deal with it / yo’ it’s the way that we roll, it’s the way we used to taking control / just deal with it / yo’ it’s the way that we run from the days that we started, begun / just deal with it / yo’ it’s the way that we ride, CM Smooth, DL, let’s glide / Verse Two / What’s wrong these moist MC’s? / Yeah they rhyme but they can’t see the wood for the trees / they focused on too many intricacies so they style grow old like the mould on a cheese / and I really so hate to be one to pass judgement / cos all they’re really doing is they own way of hustling / to each his own, that means my way ain't your way / you jump through the window, I just walk through the doorway / I ain’t trying to say it ain’t hard though / but they won’t reduce me to no desperado / I went from “not quite” to a “bravo” / went from luke-warm, now I’m hot like charcoal / and never scared even when I’m in a dark hole / Funky I’m trying to bring the goods like cargo / and got the type of joints that make the people go marbles / CM Smooth and DL what a combo / so ya’ll know we both mean business / so stop the pretending and don’t bear false witness / you’ve got to put Blackcurrent Jazz on the hit list / get this, style dope, don’t really sweat this / I am what I is and I is what I am / and I is what I was, you don’t like it? Too bad / you didn’t want’ him to but man he still did it / so put your headphones on and deal with it / Chorus /
