I wrote a post the other day called 'Blakroc Lyrics': http://theblackkeysfanlounge.com/2009/11/blakroc-lyrics/

But I really wanted to post Raekwon's lyrics to 'Keep off the fuckin' flowers' from Blakroc: http://theblackkeysfanlounge.com/2009/11/blakroc-listen-to-keep-off-the-fuckin-flowers-featuring-raekwon-with-the-black-keys-here/

I reckon the lyrics to this track are awesome, more so reading Dan's comments and the fact they were seemingly completely freestyled. i'm looking forward to the webisode on Raekwon's performance

However, I'm stumped trying to correctly transcribe Raekwon's rhymes

Keen to have a go?

Mark up alts/additions with bold text to what I've (incorrctly) got so far. where i have " ... " is stuff I don't know. but other bits might not be right:

[verse] up in the bleechers and the penthouse front / stole burning half a bird ... /we dont ask the green peas ..... full of blunts ladies ... cleaning ... phone ring bling bling bling can we have some more ice packs ... roll the reefer to the maximum ... satchmo playin on the drums say i'm ready to cum / she looking at me with a relevant stare no my pockets are only here ... gets some merlot out from my little thing downstairs ... forget that zip lock none of that overnight shit it's stupid hot shit take the shotty with you ... them niggas is from the golden era eliminate leathers who don't give a fuck if they die they're more highly soldiers of the streets they're rebels rumble for motherfuckin' money .. with bitches rocking for stilettos for when the drought hit their only shit thieves come out lovin the seas like powers them cowards stay off the fuckin' flowers

[verse] rockin the skull full of waves full frame full of change young black hand the ammo low wheelin' rentals / he owns a crack spot / he knows where there's a craft shop / sterling brown ... lifestyle grows from the spectacular / green grass smokes green hash / the niggas don't need cash .. clean glass when the good boy lasts ruthless niggas ... in the back of the gas station .. . remember the shorties in it / it's only Glocks with mags ... flags

[outro] yeah, yeah, uh-huh, stay off the fuckin flowers, word up, i'm gone nigga

I'm too sleepy to have a go at this right now but I think you're fairly off on the outro. Wondered whether you unintentionally conflated Raekwon and Immortal Technique or messed that one up for the fun of it.

Up in the bleechers, in the penthouse, frontin
Stole burnin a half a bird
?Ulaka?out they lexus burnin
We eatin esco, bitch, green pea soup
Corrine coup
in the front
with twelve rickshaws ready to stunt
roll the blunts ladies
use string or pussy
?ray glay? me my man
honest 700 grand out the whizzy
then the phone rang
bling bling bling
hey yo king
two more ice packs comin
forty bundles of onion
Roll the reefer to the maxium
Sax playin
Lay on the drums, the Jefferson song
I’m ready to cum
She lookin at me with a relevant stare
Know my pocket’s the only hair
To come up out the hood stay here
Piss the merlot out
Trot my little thing downstairs
Cus anything other than that, we all ?willionaires? (willin heirs or willin airs?
Cant forget that
The ziplocks is get back
None of that overnight shit
We sellin seconds pa hit back

Sean hey yo
Its stupid hot
Take the shotty wit u
You and barkem, make it pop
Them niggaz from the golden era
Lemonade leathers
Who don’t give a fuck if they die
they more high
they’re soliders in the streets
they rebels
bubble for motherfuckin money
with bitches rockin stilettos
so when the drought hit
they on their shit
the sheeps come out
lovin to see cypher powers
they cowards
stay off the fuckin flowers

rockin a skull full of waves
four frames on his chain
Jamaican accent
Fresh out of Toronto, we black skin
Young black panther M.O.
?Love whalen? Reynolds
He on the crack spot
We know it as the trap shop
Adidas down sterling brown
Uncles is traffikers
Lifestyle growing spectacular
Green grass smuggles with green hash
Them niggas dont need cash
They only play fresh and rock mean glass
The dream stash only when the good boy last
These are all ruthless niggas who don’t seem glad
Left her ass in the back of the gas
Station
Never know shorty’s in it
Its only glocks with mags here da
Feds come
Niggas is bagged
?Nogiveem? is bad
These are ninjas in rags
Rock your flags

this took awhile and i know its not perfect. he uses names and slang i wouldnt understand even if i knew what he was sayin. i need more heads to hear but this is most definitely more accurate.

I want to know what Dans says in the beginning of What You Do To Me. The italiacs is the part I'm not really sure of.

You don't know what you do to me
All I see yeah is new to me
Just Cause _____
And Marriage strong

Said you had done me wrong
But we'll see yeah
What you do to me

first up, respect to @cmmclosk for those Raekwon lyrics

@setmefree hmm, good question

can kind of help

"Just Cause _____
And Barrett Strong"

the Barrett Strong line is a reference to song writer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_Strong

"Just cause..." this line is a toughie indeed
