Jin Album

Look I'm not a gimmick, there's not a rapper I'm trying to mimic
My life move about a mile a minute
Make the best of it while I'm in it
Talk shit I'll never get offended
I'm so pushin' to the limit
I could shake of 20 haters
Ignore em' and handle my business
Highly hood got my named cemented
A threat to every rapper in the game or that's ever been in it
5'6'' but I stand tall, built for war, sort of like the Great Wall
Of China, hear my footsteps like Yao Ming's behind ya
Don't remind me, do whatever to you, fly back and it'll be
Hell on earth for you to find me
They say we all look alike, cook alike
But they aint't know that we all crooks alike
I changed the game when I took the mic
In Freestyle what it took for you to write, good night!

[Chorus:]
I am here now, say what you want
I know I got something you want
I am here now, think what you want
This is my life, let's get it on

It's like a curse being successful
The more progress, the more stressful
Don't ask about heart, I got a chestful
Thrown into a cesspool of sex juice
So my next move was to elevate for the best view
I got a few things to confess too
They say I'm famous, I don't feel special
Plucked from a few to be placed on a pedestal
Only to be ridiculed and find out they want to get rid of you
Once you near your pinnacle they try to limit you
From the start of your career when they finish you
That's why in interviews I keep my shit minimal
And if I do say something it's subliminal
Is it because I'm signed to killers and criminals?
It's pitiful, this rap game is too political
But fuck it, I ain't got shit else to do

[Chorus]

Yo, yo you don't gotta give me my respect, I'ma take it
You ain't gotta punch me into night I'ma lay it
You ain't gotta loan me no money I'ma make it
And I do anything I can get away with
I say what I want, take it how you take it
Media hype that I've created has enhanced my hatred
Came from the basement, rose amongst the stars like a space ship
Face it, there's no replacement
Time you spend looking for the one is time wasted
I'm too defined, my design you can't trace it
So give it up, I ain't bitter but I'm getting sick enough to take my contract
and rip it up
Plus my friend say I'm forgettin' stuff
Is it cause I failed to get intouch
While I'm out rappin', travelin', gettin' bucks
And my hearts in Miami indeed
Oh I ain't forget, I just got my family to feed

(featuring Kanye West)

From the start to the finish
I'ma bark on contenders
Wanna tarnish my image
I can't promise forgiveness
See I was never like this
My mom's would never like this
And y'all was never like us
That's why y'all never liked us
See I might take your style
Flip it back, make it crack
Sell a couple mil get some stacks
here you go now take it back
I'm spittin lines of fire
I'm in the line of fire
Designer attire, makin me a sign of desire
I just rhyme to inspire, your favorite line supplier
I run through fan's signs and landmines the size of tires
How many minds inquire, I got mines and acquired
Enough props to make y'all resign and retire

Now hold on, and just stomp stomp
Get your hands off me
Now hold on, and just stomp stomp
Get your hands off me

This is hot as it gets, your shit's not as intense
My flow got 'em convinced, they ain't got at 'em since
My back's against the wall
So if I turn and flee and run from what's in front of me
That won't make no sense at all
this for my dons and divas, haters and non-believers
They just try'na deceive us like Judas dishonored Jesus
Why you try'na critique this, don't take kindness for weakness
Leave you behind the speakers, body minus some pieces
You got records to sell, I got records to break
You will never excel against me measure the rate

I got too much at stake I just follow my fate
Annihilate and dominate and I ain't even try'na wait

While you hang out, I bang out
Make moves like shots rang out
Wanna know, what my slang 'bout
They be like, "Shut your damn mouth"
Your chances are slim, makin' advances on Jin
While you, shootin' the breeze, I'm dancin' with the wind
This is not your, ordinary
My style, sort of varies
Slaughter you, then your crew
Cause you know, the more the merry
You already know the outcome, so how come you doubt son
("I'm goin' out by any means necessary" – Malcolm)
Hip-hop without Jin is like, shootouts without guns
Churches without nuns, bankers without funds
Smokin' without lungs, cities without slums

f/ Twista

Get high get low
thick girls go and shake ya big butt
you in the club wit some some worldwide thugs
and wherever you see us we gon' kick it, its all love (now I)
Get high get low
thick girls go and shake ya big butt
you in the club wit some some worldwide thugs
and wherever you see us we gon' kick it, its all love

[Verse 1: Jin]
Now ma whole set get love
I'm in the Chi two steppin wit them thugs
and big man you can search all you want
but you ain't gon' find no drugs or no guns
yea y'all can get weeded up, beated up
but don't eat it up this ain't a slow jam so I can speed it up (lets go)
I ain't sparkin a meadow
I jus want to talk to the ghetto
bag the baddest chick with the sharpest stilettos
Im so influential, you so impotential
man you gon' know what I'm workin wit
when I hold it against you
destination vip you can follow us
but if it was the last sip well jus follow us
shorty feelin my style because I'm humerous
put me on cloud nine and its accumulous
assume its us Jin, mista quick to diss ya
and Twista spit so fast ya lips'll blista

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Now I get high get low (get low)
Thick girls go and shake ya big butt (like this)
You in the club wit some some worldwide thugs
And whereva you see us we gon' kick it, its all love

[Verse 2: Twista]
When I come in the party betta get high
cuz I pulled up in the platinum seven six five
who say lyrical niggaz don't know how to party
see me jackin up shawtys wit a grippin on her thick thighs
I like the way she workin that badunkadunk
bouncin the fatty when the base go bump
she witness how Twista spit it
so now she want me to hit it
cuz I'm blazin up the booth and raisin up the roof
I'm in the vip sippin on Cris' and Henn'
all the ladies is trippin cuz they can't get in
They see me ballin wit the Ruff Ryder homie
and say they only drink liqour nigga but now they want some Jin
everywhere we kick it we got the club sold
international hustlas that travel the globe
rockin the thugs makin hoes keep it live
It's the Double R connect and that nigga Twista from Chi
I'm fly

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Jin]
We can definitely kick it
I don't want to just stick it
If bein fine was a crime well I'd havta write you up a ticket
If you dance for me its sign jus like a picket
and I got two middle fingaz for all you critics
never you in this someone so clever who spit this
I'm only here for one night so I mix some pleasure with business
every few minutes
I drink a couple of shots
take a dutch break it in half and fill it up with some pot

[Chorus]

Now mama shake some
if they don't like it fuck it
they some haters (c'mon shake it girl)
yo mama work some
if they don't like it fuck it
they some haters (jus work it girl)

[Chorus]

(Jin 2x)
c'mon and shake it girl (like this)

[Hook:]
Most of ya'll all sound the same
With ya fancy cars and ya diamond rings
Don't you know it's about to change?
What are you so afraid of?

The MC, master of ceremonies
My pen be faster, how dare you phonies?
That tempt me run back and tell ya cronies
How I gently mack the tenderonies (woo)
The DJ, the crowd motivator (uh huh)
We don't cross-over we cross faders
Outrageous, divine motion
Record scratchin me calamine lotion
B-Boys high as your hands reach (uh huh)
Bombed them with two aerosol cans each
This for the future, past, and the present
I'm takin this rap thing back to the essence

[Hook (x2)]

I rip out your tonsil now you feelin it
Hip hop is dead, you responsible for killin' it
I've been sent to avenge the death
Breath life into the game defend what's left
They remind me of you, minus the deal (deal)
You remind me of me, minus the skill
Every new week comes a song
Til the next one hit wonder comes along
Ya video is on 106 and TRL? (uh huh)
Does that mean that your shit gon' sell? (uh uh)
Honestly this joint prolly won't top the charts (nah)
Cuz I ain't all up in the club and I ain't bout to start

[Hook (x2)]

Radio suckas neva play me
It's all good ya'll don't pay me
Even though I wanna cash in
Rather have loyalty to Jin
Than royalties for spins
Sell ya soul for joints and jams
Til you fall off and disappoint ya fans
They'll let you know the minute you forget
You in it for the check or you in it for respect
I'm tryin to get both and not fail to connect
With each one of ya'll so my sales are direct
And me not tryin to sound all righteous
I know a lot of ya'll got a feel just like this

(featuring Kanye West)

[Kanye] Yo Jin! We good wit this one, yeah!

[Jin] Good looking Kanye
Ruff Ryder, Roc-A-Fella collabo!
You see, we're the next generation in this rap game
So it's only right we got down like this

[Kanye] Yep! uh oh!

[Chorus - Kanye West] (2x)
I got a love that's better than - you ever was
You've never been - no good for me
I guess I was - just way too hood for you to be with

[Verse - Jin]
Yo I was doing a show with Kanye in the West
Mid that is, so basically the Chi and M.I. is up in the mix
We in the game now, it makes perfect sense
The kid that 'Dropped Outta College', the other never went
We take turns doing our one, two's and yes yes y'alls
Look at shorty with my name, tatted on her breast y'all
Mr. West, what do you think is the best?
(Kanye: Take em backstage, get aquainted that's what I suggest dawg)
When it comes to spittin G, I'm one of the best y'all
She look goods, smell clean and she had fresh draws
Naw, that's too good to be
Usually them type of chicks ain't good for me, no!

[Chorus]

[Verse - Jin]
I got a - way with words, I use words in ways
I convince birds to come out they cage and play
Polly want a Gucci Parka, ma what did you say?
Polly might get a cracker ain't no trickin today, hey
But anyway though, she got it on smash like mashed potatoes
High class with a ass that'll smash on J. Lo
Lay low, got Play-Doh, stash the payroll
Ain't no - credit card, spendin cash on Rodeo
And me? I'm at the Slausson Swap Meet
Lookin for a pair of Air One's and white tee's
She want champagne, I got Sisco and Kool-Aid
Why go to the movies? let's watch the bootleg

[Chorus]

[Verse - Jin]
Girl I don't wear Prada, never met Gucci
Or wore Versake [Versace], y'all is too boughi
We all know Kanye is Mr. Louis Vuitton
But if I see a L and a V, I'd think that it's on
That's what my old chick used to clash with me
(Jin, why'd you get this fake Louis bag for me?)
Actually, you should be happy I purchased that
I take this as a sign, you don't want the matching hat
Huh, I'm too gutter, you more Parkay with yours
I'm more I can't believe it's not butter
What the - other - suckas do for love is a damn shame
I got a new significant other cause plans change

[Chorus]

[Outro - Jin] (girl)
(I got a love) it's over girl!
(You ever was) I thought me and you was it
(No good for me) But obviously, things ain't work out
(I got a love) And I know when you see this video
(You ever was) First thing you gon do is pick up that cell phone

(w/ Wyclef Jean)

Yeah I'm chinese, and what?
(Another preview of Jin album)
Yeah you know who this is, Jin, and let me just tell you this
The days of the pork fried rice and the chicken wings comin to ur house by me is
over
(This is it, it's crazy)
(OVA!!!)

[Chorus]
Ya'll gon learn chinese, ya'll gon learn chinese
Ya'll gon learn chinese, when the pumps come out, your gon speak chinese
Ya'll gon learn chinese, (chinese)
Ya'll gon be chinese (chinese)
Ya'll gon learn chinese, when the pumps go off, ya'll gon speak chinese

This is it, cause fuck you head man
I know a bunch of crips that love redman
And walk in New york, man things dun change
STOP, the chinks do it again
This aint Bruce Lee, ya'll watch too much T.V
This is the game of death, when i aim for you chest
And too much sex got me seeing slow motion, eyes barely open, with a roast
roastin'
And ur girl, she love the Jin motion, rub it on her body like body shop lotion
What's the comotion? You never seen me?
Original chinky eyed MC?
Ya'll don't want to stop to the army
Double armed, rank refugee
And the barrel of my gun gon make you speak another language
And amigo i ain't talking bout spanish

[Chorus]
Ya'll gon learn chinese, ya'll gon learn chinese
Ya'll gon learn chinese, when the pumps come out, your gon speak chinese
Ya'll gon learn chinese, (chinese)
Ya'll gon be chinese (chinese)
Ya'll gon learn chinese, when the pumps go off, ya'll gon speak chinese

This one goes out to all the ones who ordered four chicken wings, pork fried
rice and rolled dice in the hood
You think this shit it's all good?
To the cowboys that roll out like Clint Eastwood
I wish you would, come to CHINA TOWN
Get lost in town, end up in the lost and found
Eye witnesses?
You must be crazy, we don't speak english, we speak chinese
And the only popo we know,
Is the pigs on the hook by the window
Each time they harass me I wanna explode
We should ride the train for free, we built the railroads
I ain't your 50 cent, I ain't your Eminem, I ain't your Jigga Man, I'm a CHINA
man
Just singin from the palm of my head, she looked suprised when she saw it in the
palm of my hands
And you know what's next?
Safe sex, I'll be damned if I sleep with the flesh in the insest

Yea yea yea yea
Jin (Jin), The rest is history,
Lemme take you to my home, Come on

Chorus
I'm goin to miami, I'm goin to the fair
To see a senorita, with flowers in her hair
Shake it senorita, Shake it if you can
Show all the boy's around you, like you do in the bed

Wait a minute, wait a minute
This is how it started,
Senorita caught my eye, She shake it the hardest
Yea, she knows that I'm an artist, but thas regardless
Situation, elevatin', I'm anticipatin

You better tell those guys
You belong to me
I followed you, danced with, bounced with you, shaked with you girl
I'm lovin' you, hatin' you, real with you, fake it with you girl
we can do anything under the moonlight
You in the mood right? (Right)

Now mami shake it shake it
You do what you gotta do

Chorus(x2)

We in the am i, am i

Chorus (x2)

no one knows the I'm gettin dropped
I'm came to picture, I'm laying with ya
I came to carress your soul, I ain't playing with ya
I take an itty-bitty piece of your mind, you're running thru mine
like diddy did the whole city
I'm flying thru the clouds, I'm soaring through the air
to see my senorita, she's waitin at the fair

f/ Aja Smith

It's from the heart..
It's from the heart right here.. (yeah)
Everybody has a story to tell..
Check this out though

[Verse One]
I knew this chinese dude in Junior High
part of my crew, everybody knew the kid
he was the talk of the school, intelligent
and well spoken, respected by teachers
all the other students kept their eyes on his sneakers
What can I say? You can tell he's cool if you talk with him
during fire drills girls would wanna walk with him
he could have any chick up in his view
but there was only one girl he wanted to call boo
See its all true, found himself stressed in a dead end
the girl he was feelin was obsessed with his bestfriend
his bestfriends a playa, thats the reason he's pissed
plus he treat her like she don't even exist
he ain't tryna hate on his man, but there was no help in it
wrote the girl a letter told her how he felt in it
she was shocked at first of him revealing the truth
till she realized that she was feelin him too

[Chorus: Aja Smith]
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you
Ohhh..
I've been thinking of you

and you've been thinkin of me

Ohhh..

Uh
So you know as time goes by
Things get a little bit serious
Just listen

[Verse Two]
It was strictly hip hop, now they bumpin slow jams all day
went from holding hands, to makin out in the hallway
Their relationship, seemed like a dream come true
as time went by their friendship grew
staring at the stars, trading secrets on the phone
when her parents were at work, she would sneak him in her room
he told her he was a virgin the day that they met
so on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget
females were jealous, but they still calling him cute
first day of summer school, they rocked the matching nautica suits
happy in each others arms, can it be
they found true love, living in a fantasy
then reality attacks, his pops couldn't see past the fact
his son was asian, but his girlfriend was black
imagine having to choose between the one that you love or your fam
thats like cutting off your right or left hand, damn

[Chorus]

Uh huh, yeah

I know this sounds like a true story
coulda happened to any one of us
it's crazy though right?

[Verse Three]
Now if this sounds like a true story
that's probably cause it is
and I know for a fact cause I'm that chinese kid
mm, lookin back now, I know its more than just a crush
I'm sayin the whole expierience taught me so much
love can overcome anything that gets in its way
thats reason I still think of shorty 'til this day
we talk now and then, she's doin her thing
we both full grown up, I think she rockin a ring
I know she's proud of me and all the things I've accomplished
She was there when I was nobody, that's being honest
Ain't no shame, I'll admit it she was there when I cried
So in return I wipe the tears from her eyes
As far as my pops, he's a little more open minded
If his son is happy, hes 100% behind it
Now this is a song I know I had to do
Cause all the stuff I went through might have happened to you

[Chorus]

Ohhh..

Uh, yeah

Everybody remembers their first love
You only get one
So you gotta remember
yeah
uh
I just want you to know

Yeah, uh, yeah

[Verse 1]
You at my welcome mat and I ain't mad by letting you in
Long as you listen to me closely as you get to know Jin
First of all I had the thirst of all rappers combined
Worst of all people told me I was wasting my time
Like I was better off making up computer designs
A doctor, a lawyer, or anything that's using my mind
When I used to rap I usually got refused and declined
Till I felt abused and used it as fuel in my rhymes
In every battle, the race card was my downfall
Till I read the Art of War and used it to clown y'all
I'm still battling but on a different note
Not rappers, but labels, same ocean but a different boat
Them CEOs must be sniffin' coke
Don't they know that I'm the dopest product on either coast?
They tried to drown me, but I stayed afloat
Here's a verse for you to quote
The realest shit I ever wrote

[Chorus]
C'MON!
Now that I got your attention I gotta say this
I know that it's been debated I'm a gimmick they created
C'MON!
All the people that hated because I made it, two-faced
When they the same ones that wished that I'd make it
C'MON!
All the critics that's jealous that I've created
Still highly anticipated they nothing to do but face it
C'MON!
Even though that I'm asian we all related be patient
Cause we gon' make it so if you rollin' with me

[Verse 2]
We together now, we ain't gotta act like strangers
I done let you into the deepest and darkest chambers
Introduced you to Jin, all the pain and anguish
Gave you reasons why they say the fame will change us
It's most common amongst entertainers
Rappers and athletes, how can you blame us?
Runnin' round crazy, saying I ain't the same cause
But jealousy, is a funny thing that the brain does
How can you not see, in simple and plain view
My fame ain't changed me, man it changed you
But then again I guess that's what haters do
And it's a damn shame my fans got haters too
It's like the listen, and disregard the lyrics
Imagine if they flipped it and the artist were the critic
And everything YOU did was under the scope
And YOUSE about to get hung, and we the ones with the rope

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
If you think about it, me and you, we really the same
Ain't nothin' different about us but the faces and names
The places we came, lies that were placed in our brains
If our ancestors knew they'd be disgraced and ashamed
So I chose to be the one to change the pace of the game
Look at me, hot as California burnin' in flames
Still I feel, that everything I earn is in vein
Unless I do somethin' positive with what I obtain
These people must truly think I'm really insane
Like my life around me revolves around the jewellery and dames
I'm quick to rip that picture right up outta the frame
I ain't tryna see my whole life go down the drain
And be, 40 years old still hoppin' the train
Frontin' with a fake smile like I'm doin' my thang
Hurting inside, tuck in my pride, hide in my pain
If you've never settled for less then you feelin' the same

(feat. L.T.)

LT; talking:
We may look different
But we see the same sky
We may see different
But we cry the same cry

Jin; rapping:
To wake up daily and sleep better nights
That's what we all wish for to seek a better life, right?
It's unfortunate when tragedy strikes
But the truth is reality bites
June 4th, '89, a day residents feared
Now known as The Massacre at Tiananmen Square
The day I turned seven, they were mourning and grieving
Thousands of innocent died for what they believed in
Armed with nothing but heart and a point to prove
Stood in front of tanks and refused to move
What would you do? Run or stand still?
When the life's on the line to test the man's will
Seeking change and they found it, but in death
Strangers, yet they were my blood and flesh
This happened in China but you ain't gotta be Asian
to relate to the struggle, pain, and heartache
So...

LT; singing:
We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry

Jin; rapping:
See, I'm a grown man
It hurts when I turn on the news
And see what's going on in my homeland
The SARS epidemic could've been lies
Could've stand for "Should Asians Really Survive?"
They'll try anything to break your family apart
Politics will break down the manliest heart
Can the child within my heart rise above?
If there's a billion of us,
I shouldn't have to look for love
Overpopulation, but damn, just to meet the needs
It's illegal to have more than one seed?
How can you dictate birth, regardless to women
And the parents, they make the hardest decisions
Sons keep their family names, so that's not an option
Imagine being forced to put your daughter for adoption
And even though it's beyond your control
Keep your head up, here's a song for your soul

LT; singing:
We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry

Jin; rapping:
If you don't know where you came from
You can't get the way you trying to go
Ain't no denying so, it's true
I got some big shoes to fill
But if I don't lead the movement, then who will?
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Thinking about the refugees that went to see God's face
Sixteen thousand miles across the ocean tides
Some died, some got lucky and survived
I wouldn't call it luck, they reached their destination
Modern-day slavery without the plantation
Them sneakers on your feet cost a hundred a pop
My people's making 15 cents a day at sweatshops
To make them kicks so you can look good
Think we open restaurants 'cause we cook good?
Hell no, we ain't got no choice
I gotta speak up, without me my people have no voice

LT; singing:
We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry

We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up

What the - other - suckas do for love is a damn shame
I got a new significant other cause plans change

[Chorus]

[Outro - Jin] (girl)
(I got a love) it's over girl!
(You ever was) I thought me and you was it
(No good for me) But obviously, things ain't work out
(I got a love) And I know when you see this video
(You ever was) First thing you gon do is pick up that cell phone
