Great Expectations Lyrics - Quality Control - Jurassic 5

Baby 

Whatcha gonna do? 

Come back again 

No doubt, uh, it took ten years, for me to pressure cook my fears 

Now my front line rhymes moving up from the rear 

My dream slash career appeared ever so clear 

Now I'm able to touch, smell, see, speak, and hear 

My fans cheer, my time is finally here 

The past depart the present 'cause the future is near 

Anticipation, magnified my motivation 

Direct my energy to touch nations 

Been entertaining since niggas was really banging 

Dancing at the old folks parties, pancaking 

I've been waiting for my time to shine 

From Catholic school John Mid Junior High 

From Manuasa to rocking at the good life 

We paid the price to keep rhyming and rip shit on the mic 

Yo, 'cause if you only knew what we been through, uh 

The struggle and the pain to maintain and continue 

Great expectations on our committee unified relation 

We rebel our rhythm through tribulation 

And treble and bass the situation with dedication 

Yo, go get your ticket, your seats, snacks, and beverages 

While we get wicked all in your brain's cracks and crevices 

Servicing bulletins to you critical puritans 

Who be shouting in my vicinity doubting my capability 

Expect no defeat, my whole fleet be scorching 

Keep across your vision blurred from heat distortion 

The proportions better take precaution 

While we shake the portion fakes are lost in, never flossing 

The antidote for your mood, we sloppy dope 

And I'm hoping what I wrote gets you open like a fallopian tube 

In my crew we include brothers who worthy 

Rebels and DJ's from LA, I'm from Shahee 

From Jersey, ever thirsty for success 

Plus never vexed, flipping for Allah 'cause He blessed us 

With the talent, to make Jurassic your next guest 

Rocking since the '84 Fresh Fest, yes 

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation 

We rebel our rhythm through tribulations 

And treble and bass the situation with dedication 

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation 

We rebel our rhythm through tribulations 

And treble and bass the situation with dedication 

Ayo, my story starts in the NJ State 

And gets deep like a movie Bruce and Demi make 

I moved to the land of sand and ill earthquakes 

I didn't know this was the place I'd get my piece of the cake 

Or the piece of the pie, U N I T Y 

Every thursday night at the life we kept it tight 

That's right, that's where we dwelled and the rhythm rebelled 

We a blast from the past like the shotgun shells 

Not no mocho males with raps about a beer 

Our mission is to persevere so haters can play the rear 

We toured the stratesphere from here to London Square 

You swear you're prepared to diss what we have here 

Indeed time ticks as rapid rhymes rip 

Earth and time split in time to find it's 

Just another manic Monday and one day 

We'll shine, too, so it's true, you hear my crew say 

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation 

We rebel our rhythm through tribulation 

And treble and bass the situation with dedication 

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation 

We rebel our rhythm through tribulation 

And treble and bass the situation with dedication 

Yo, whether you love to hate it, if it's in or outdated 

If I've been overrated or maybe your most favorite 

You expect me still to write my verse on time 

And I expect you not to front when you hear my rhyme 

Don't expect me to smile 'cause it's in good taste 

I know cats that's no mistake smiling in my face 

And don't expect to try and guess if I'm mad or not 

Or if I'm cold or hot, you would know if not 

And don't expect me to come and just bite my tongue 

It's kinda hard to forget what some brothers have done 

But my mother always said, you forgive and forget 

And expect that most promises won't be kept 

I guess I gave credit where it wasn't deserved 

To brothers must have preferred to not keep their word 

The bigger the burden, the bigger the uncertain 

No explaination for my creation, great expectation
