Hello world...



Wake up, another beautiful day

time to pack my bags and be on my way

it'll be a long trip and a wonderful stay

the missions have been assigned and stamped with an 'A'

I contact Abstract, and we check the tactics

to exit the projects and combat this wackness

we discuss the details, ? all our duties

and plus this retail, this is a real life movie

so where we playin' at? where we stayin' at?

I heard they sayin' that they more than ready

because we rock on and on and we rock steady

he's a scorpion on the scene with the deadliest stings

and I'm the lone marine, marine, biologist machine

who called for the A-Team?

[Abstract Rude: spoken]

Ten years ago a rap commando unit was sent to prison 

for a covert experimental rhyme project deemed 

ahead of it's time and insightful of public hysteria.  

Thus, a threat to commercial defense.  These men promptly 

escaped from maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles 

underground.  Today, still wanted by corporations, 

they survive as soldiers of fortune and artistic integrity. 

If you have a problem that no one else can help, 

an MC no one else can serve, a show you really want 

to be rocked, and if you can find them, 

maybe you can hire The A-Team



[Abstract Rude:]

Acey, The Faceman, I'm A.B. Baracus

who frame the A-Team, like Roger Rabbit?

from L.A. under[?] to the land down under

U-S-A to the A-U-S

and as much as my blood rush quick for hip hop shit

trust in your gut, grit teeth when your rhyme's bit

good grief, hard time, how unfortunate

we still recordin' it, we still performin' wit

elite lineups, throwin' strikes after wind ups

at least let loose a masterpiece that'll raise the roof

tranquilize, then when I open my eyes

It's gettin' kinda scary in the friendly skies

we got invited, we had to come and blow

and sooner than you thought, when all was lost, a double dose

of a 'Masquerade', part one and two, 'Treble and Bass',

'Deep & Wide', 'Keep It True'

we keep it true, we keep it true

we keep it true, we keep it true

(relax your mind with the music...)

we keep it true



[Aceyalone:]

The uncanny (uncanny), uncandid	(uncandid)

untouched (untouched), untampered, un-expanded

we landed from the void

we specialize in the reconstruction of the destroyed

I am armed and my harness is my charm

the record can never be tarnished, once it's formed

my identity (identity), my entity (entity)

was everything that it was meant to be

see it was sent to me and it was gladly accepted

I-- I tried to give it away, but it was sadly rejected

a persona, of a grown up Acey, a loner

it's the path of the maker and the owner

it existed, as the whole world resisted (resisted)

they couldn't hold on for long, before they kissed it

and they blessed it (blessed it), with all sincerity (sincerity)

I say this with pure clarity

who framed the A-Team? they must have been hating

sabotaged, they're working for the enemies

who framed the A-Team? they must have been hating

sabotaged, but they can't conquer this energy



and we keep on and keep on and keep on and keep on 

and keep on and keep on and keep on...

(sit back and vibe with this true shit)



[Ab Rude:]

Abby Rude aka Jimmy Rome[??]

with my Tribe clique i tell it like it is on the microphone

Cali to New York parks

on you're radio like sports talk

outlining as if white chalk drew us

the truest at Lemiert Park

rhyming 'til death do us part

and our birthmark must be a mic

since our first start, we did it right

we in the game, whether you know the name, me and my main

now, now 'ere these sounds so I can knock on your program director's door

the underground protect, respect, I hit the floor

and I architect for more than commercial buildings

so deep I rip carpet, so high I burst ceilings

I eventually make millions, create children

do sports reporting, retire

then come back like Michael Jordan

title awards and final good-byes

you're gonna wanna spin it, if the vinyl is mine

A-Team



ahh
