Patterns

Gift of Gab at his best.

Get promoted at your job up to management
Plot a long time finally a plan has made it
Time I feel I wanna shout, man its real that way
Wanna think of things that make you feel that way

Blackalicious - Make You Feel That Way

Blackalicious - Clockwork

Originally from the A2G EP released in June of 1998, this album set the stage for the seminal Hip Hop record Nia released only a year later.  3 of the 7 tracks from the A2G EP made it to the full release in Nia.  The excellent “Clockwork” was not one of the three.  

With good reason, the MC goes by the name of Gift of Gab:

So I’m a gardener
I’m a chef eatin all you carnivores
I’m an ancient Zen master philosophic thought 
Comin like the Art of War
Handyman with lyrical hardware
And my house ain’t made a ginger
But its made of an array of pages that’ll slay ya like a ninja
Unemployed, no, I got work
And my job description
A rap technician
From sun up to sun down
And it’s clockwork
