The Stars Are Far

It’s never been as hard as it is, right now
For a brotha to feed his kids and hold the wife down
There’s not a lot of paper circulating the States
One must take care, to save the money that she makes
It can all be gone in a flash, so gratitude is key
Still a lot to thank for when sweatin’ out in this heat
I’m your guide through the deal like handles for them skis
Turn yah head too long and cash gone with the breeze
Best believe, Vicky and associates Gone With The Wind,
Gold trophies in hand, these cats gone with the win
We exiting banks grippin’ more than we came with
Added a few links and increase the chain width
Added a new server and increase the bandwidth
Now we gotta a lot of wide bodies to choose from
Do what you gotta do, but avoid the humdrum
That’s a sure-fire path to a ghetto and a slum
[Interlude]
Yo, word to the wise...
It only seems so far ‘cause the stars’re hard to reach
But you know what, sooner or later, you’ll be chillin’, on a beach. After your hard work pays off, you get to reap the benifits. And that's what you're waiting for is'nt it?
Stay hungry and stay busy, that’s your only chance
Write yourself some goals and calculate some plans
If you listen to no one’s advice, heed Vikitahns
You might just find yourself with some cash, in advance.

On The Mic (What Else?)
06:44
|
|||
Vikitahn, and Vicky B. and V. Scriller be killer bees lookin’ for our hive in the “honey tree”
Hmm...What else?
We be the Bees knees and what have you by the balls while we countin’ up this cheese
...What else?
Like Three Blind Mice we bumpin’ into things but it all feels like a golden flowing breeze
Hmm...What else?
We never never rappin’ like normal, but we get a chilidog crackin’ like Hormel
Hmm...What else?
Nothin’ more, never man, never never takin’ you to Never Never Land, we flock together ‘cause we’re birds of a feather man, tethered man, heavier than, the rest of these pigeons, who be everything but relevant
Hmm...What else?
Really really miles and light years ahead of the rest of the rap game, and the stupid dudes, thinkin’ that they rap the same
Hmm...What else?
Askin’ me, how can I really be Vicky B., if it seems to thee that there be three, taking ‘em all to harbor the abilities, contained within one little old me
Hmm...What else?
Then the beat drop, in the delicatessen, getting’ to the meat-chop
Half a link, half a brain, you’re lookin’ at the proprietor of the Meat Shop
Hmm…What else?
Vikitahn surf and turf with the mic’
Vikitahn ship make berth with the mic’
Vikitahn beamed to the Earth with the mic’
Vikitahn wet up shirts with the mic’
Vikitahn hit on girls with the mic’
Vikitahn talk about the world with the mic’
Hmmm…What else?
Vicky on the mic’, on the daily basis
On the flight, while you runnin’ in places
Make these boys halt, put ‘em in stasis
Field change, and they runnin’ rat races
Understanding Vicky might lead you to hate this
Vicky make food and ask you to taste this…”
Hmm…What else?
Vikitahn will eat beef with the mic’
Vikitahn real real cheap with the mic’
Vikitahn meet his needs with the mic’
Vikitahn weed eat weeds with the mic’
Vikitahn sew good seeds with the mic’
Vikitahn do good deeds with the mic’
Vikitahn sleep, sleep, sleep with the mic’
Vikitahn rest his feet on the mic’
Vikitahn play PS3 with the mic’
Vikitahn play Bar-bies with the mic’
Vikitahn all in Belize with the mic’
Hmmm…What else?
Ooooooh,
Taste kinda like crap
Ha ha ha all I do is write rap
Might wrap, yo ass in a tight strap
Who is that? Wavin’ the victory banner
Standin’ so tall, lookin’ like a flagstaff
It’s just gotta be V.!”
I bet yah that you bet that
And I bet yah that the bet’s capped
Too many folks placin’ wagers
And they all be on Vikitahns be-half
Hmmm…What else?
[Interlude]
Vikitahn likes to rattle with mic’
Vikitahn do some battle with the mic’
Vikitahn raise some cattle with the mic’
Vikitahn fly to Seattle with the mic’
Vikitahn tale and tattle with the mic’
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, yah right
Hmmm…What else?
Vikitahn make nice dinners with the mic’
Vikitahn, “We some winners….”, with the mic’
Vikitahn damn all sinners with the mic’
Vikitahn and no one else with the mic’

Talkin' Bout Myself
04:28
|
|||
[Interlude]
I'm bout to wreck this dawg...
Ey yo, ch- check me out
Aight, hahha
Comin’ from yah dreams, it’s Vicky with Inception
Plantin’ ideas in yah head with indiscretion
Open up your front door for a home inspection
Adjust your antennae for a better reception
Inviting Vicky guarantees a better reception
If not for entertainment, then maybe protection
Talkin’ bout myself…
Keep your eyes glued to the Vikitahn channel
If yah don’t yah might miss another rap scandal
Vicky and some hot mama in nothin’ but sandals
At the beach or at the house? Nah they was at Randalls
Just a couple o’ crazy tots, yah, we a handful
Vicky B. and Brownlow is too much to handle
Talkin’ bout myself…
If yah need some strikes send Vicky to pitch
And if yah man can’t perform, Vicky pitch tents
I may have lost my wings, but hell, I’m God-sent
I got you by the flippin’ throat and it’s a tight fit
Don’t ever be afraid to come out and admit it
Vicky cast a spell…Potter, Quidditch
Talkin’ bout myself…
Headmasterin’ this game, some call me Dumbldore
We scare these other players, that’s why they fumble more
I scoop it up and take it to the end zone to score
When all is said and done, Vicky ain’t the one sore
And we have our parties La Colombe d’Or
Two left feet, out there jiggin’ on the dance floor
Talkin’ bout myself…
Pull a Will Smith and call for a switch
I be the Seeker, on my broom like a witch
Lookin’ for the duckets, until we get rich
I’ve uncovered a lot, since I opened this ditch
Finished up the game, now the other team’s pissed
[Of] ‘Course we always win, [‘cause] I catch the Golden Snitch
Talkin’ bout myself…
Comin’ ‘round the mountain when she comes
Passin’ all these other brothas up like they bums
Askin’ no one else but Vicky if he want some
Marmalade or a way away from humdrum
But I’m [just] too busy countin’ cash, addin’ sums
On my CBR poppin’ wheelies, doin’ stunts
Sendin’ boys to the corner with the cap, “Dunce”
Or with my mighty mace, smashin’ all these cats fronts
Talkin’ bout myself…
Grills and front teeth, look like crumpled foil
Hard to imagine, Vicky slick like oil
But I seep through the cracks, leavin’ foes foiled
And then back to the lab for hours in toil
Jump around the corner, and half yah pants soiled
Leave it on the counter and have yah milk spoiled
Talkin’ bout myself…
Vick’ll make a ton of noise, when he debuts
Early bird gets the worm, [yah] snooze yah lose
Rendezvous with paper boy and catch the news
Apt to pick yah pockets, when you bendin’ tying shoes
Zoom in on your address and then send the “cruise”
Warhead visit yah house, while yah sippin’ booze
Talkin’ bout myself…
Let’s all be really honest, it’s downhill from here
Vikitahn, with no damn underwear
Just to let you know, I’m going out commando
Reconnaissance mission…Star Wars, Lando.

Deep Down, Twice
06:35
|
|||
I go deep down twice, twice as fast
As these cats, who think they can put Vicky in a cast
And who reckon they can outlast
But they wrong, so all he gets is a gash
I dress my wound like the best o’ Sunday
And make my way to the corner where the cab waits
On The Road Again, back to the lab today
Told the driver, “’Ey yo, to the labratoray.”
Back up off the mic, it’s my turn to orate
Skilled at my profession, so I ornately curate
…the track. Vikitahn. Who dat?
The chef up in this shit, uh, holla back!
Testin’ a kid for “otherworldliness”
Vicky B. the only one with this type of wordiness
Readin’ at the level of seventh grade
But spittin’ at the herald of Heaven’s Gates
For Heavens Sakes.
[Chorus] x2
We deep down, yah we deep down
It’s like all we can do to keep down
Urges we got to creep around town
Sleeping-time is when I do my rhymin’
Until the sun come up and stop my ladder climbin’
Great Balls of Fire shot from his mouth
Starts a blaze and then he swiftly puts ‘em out
Utilizing waves that change minds in doubt
But it’s all the same, doesn’t change what it’s all about
A couple o’ lines will have you nappin’ in dirt
I like spittin,’ a nightmare-makin’ verse
All the time, not just what comes first
Vicky all up in your jugular, uh,with the suckin’ thirst
Call me the “Goat Sucka” when I leave yah high and dry
You knew I was up in this piece, so why even try
Tryin’ to check my certs through the wifi
To do that, you gon’ have to pry
Pry the trophy from my hands once you end my life
Looks like your ears need a Q-Tip, Phife
Holdin’ the game like forever and for dear life
Other rappers lookin’ lame, deer in the head lights
[Chorus] x4
We deep down, yah we deep down
It’s like all we can do to keep down
Urges we got to creep around town
Sleeping-time is when I do my rhymin’
Until the sun come up and stop my ladder climbin’
I go ‘round and ‘round inside my own head
Thinkin’ about all the things I haven’t owned yet
Like the time I made you cry and I didn’t say shit
That was my bad, I hope you’ll forgive the kid
And no ones perfect, oh lord knows
But Vicky man came so damn close
Star, yup! Somethin’ Like Glen Close
You gon’ need a pad and pen to take a’dem notes
Tracin’ behind the things I write, day and night
Tokin’ up on my lines like a bud light
It up and then twist, and then twist, give it a tug tight
It’s like I are a Tug O’ Warrior, alright?
That’s my word and I stick by it at all times
Only thing I know how to spit, is Hall of Fame rhymes
Play “toy soldiers” behind enemy lines
I get over toys fast, yo, check my shelf
All I gotta time fore is the fore play
And for a play on someones radio I rhyme each and every day
away from me so night gets a chance in the “alternating the Earths state” game or a hand
in the first great game I ever played knocked me off my couch
when I went too deep down in Jenga’s mouth.
Kissin’ wishin’ I could do it some more, but she wasn’t a whore. She told me “Later on, maybe you’ll get the full hand-on tour.”

Quite Like Us
03:09
|
|||
To start from the beginning, y’all are all inspiration
For what we ought not do, when we’re runnin’ the nation
Haters in every corner, schemin’, patiently waitin’
Wishin’, thinkin’, hopin’, dreamin’, and prayin’
For Vicky and compnay to fold and not say shit
But bein’ phony’s against, Sideways regulations
It just donned on me, that most cats are out here fakin’
Hand ‘em back their forgeries, like “What is y’all makin’?”
Hand back the Discover, like “Y’all know we don’t take this!”
Turn ‘em over check they sides, like “Where is the bacon?”
Already up in my pocket? Oh, you must be late then
Finish line lookin’ like the trail we blazed in
The track, y’all was out here cup to the cakin’
On yah Easy Bake Oven, paste-er-ree bakin’
We was practicin’ hundred hurdles, hare pacin’
That’s why we don’t do “top-three”, we “first-placin’”
[Chorus] x2
Of all the things you’ve seen,
Nothin’ quite like us.
Of all the sauces hot,
Nothin’ bite like us.
Of all the wrong, writ,
Nothin’ right like us.
A whole lotta folks but none, quite like us
All you need to know is when we flow, we bestin’
Born to save the universe, like Neo, we destined
To come and steal yah heart and, cave yah chest in
Left with an empty feelin’, you constantly checkin’
Up on the mic, but on the mic, we wreckin’
Awww look at the baby, wanna play with the Technic
When we hang around the moms feel real threatened
Multiplicity of haters, but we ain’t sweatin’
TSI exempt, so no blue book testin’
We proctor the exams and make good impressions
Looks like y’all could use some reassessment
So gon’ ‘head and do so before we pull the weapon
All of us are rebels towin’ Smith & Wesson
Goin’ against the grain ought to be pretty depressin’
Except we carve a “Don’t Give A Shit” button and press it
Your guide to Sideways livin’ is what we expressin’
Negotiation’ll make you sleep and leave yah deafened
If you cannot wake up, better sniff some Epsom
Yah hear the Clapper in the back, this the Stepson
Yah see the heater in yo face, hit the deck son
All we really know is the right directions
And if yah wanna find the kid, best MapQuest-‘em
Or just follow the map provided on the instructions
There’s nothin’ more to it Your Honor, no further questions
[Chorus] x2
Of all the things you’ve seen,
Nothin’ quite like us.
Of all the sauces hot,
Nothin’ bite like us.
Of all the wrong, writ,
Nothin’ right like us.
A whole lotta folks but none, quite like us

'Ollon
05:13

Vicky B., stay heavily readily on that steadily, on that stampede, givin’ up to yah, what the fans need,
“stuck pig”-like , so we let ‘em bleed, and have bacon in the morrow
Let not one tear drop in the name of sorrow-full…
Contact sportin’ these cats as a coat, and on that note
I floated my bloated ego and denoted, real life anecdotes
On that, wait {‘ollon}
“trample yo ass like a herd” shit, that “other word” shit, that “so fly, he like a flock of birds” shit
On your mommas house, lookin’ like the hurr-i-kahn hit,
It…with the bat I was swinging in prac-tice
Makin’ rhymes, that you never heard sound plain
So that they enter your brain, with no exclaim
That Vikitahn and the coolest thing yah ever seen in your life, are but merely one in the same game
What the shit dude? Bring that back, I wasn’t done
Wait. {‘ollon}
I bet my fortune soon, my fork and spoon, my combined “foon”, my stork and baboon
That when all is said and done, with mic wreckin’ I might reckon that boy Vicky, like a typhoon
You control the track, so bump this in your Zune
We so old on the Earth, archaeologists study the raps I used to write on public property and then classify them as wait..ancient runes.
Huh, as wait..ancient runes.
as wait..ancient runes.
as wait..ancient runes.
as wait..ancient runes.
...
Wait. {‘ollon}
Some of the better things in life need to marinate
But if you leave ‘em in the fridge too long, like everything else including, but not limited to the sun, they’ll inevitably reach their expiration dates
Wait. {‘ollon}
They keep feeding me this past-prime-rap and it won’t take,
And it don’t sate, and what’s more, it don’t make,
Make my tummy say , “Oooh Aaah” like it’s chillaxin’ on a Mattress G-I-A-N-T
Never having been W-A-C-K, I set myself up to be the anti-
Anti-matter must have been poured down your throat because the things you spit
Have little to no significance, so the fact that no one gives a shit, is as always, of course, of no coincidental consequence
But Vicky has no more for y’all
I guess you’ll be lookin’ for the next mixtape, chja?
End @ 2:47
Outro Start @ 3:07
Yo, everybody thanks so much for listening. If you’ve made it this far through the tape, you’ve already figured out that we are in the building and on the god dang map, chja? And we ain’t leavin’ without your hearts in our hands, your money in our wallets, your respect in our backpacks, yo your cheers in our ears, your blessings in our luggage, you girlfriends in our cars, and your love and desire for our continuity, yah know me mean?
