this track is dedicated to all dedicated music hustlers out there usin' any means they have to make it happen in this music biz... here's the lyrics... took me about 4 days to get the whole thing together

vote "Kava-1 ~ Trouble (Classified remix)"

verse 1:

I'm makin' trouble...
cake's doubled offa MAJOR hustle...
I gotta "lotta" pull now and MAJOR muscle...
I want MORE championship rings than Bill Russell...
hustle so hard; I'm in a gatorade commercial...

sweatin' lime green; cause Homegrown is my team...
this is MORE than a dream; this is WHY I BREATHE...
i STILL represent the Rock; but i'm not Jay-Z...
I mean Vancouver island; Nam-city O.G....

i HAD TO put it on the map, when Class put me on the beat...
it's the west-coast's BEST w/ the beast from the EAST...
SOMEBODY gotta put me on; I'm killin' the streets...
I do stuff in REAL LIFE that you did in your sleep...

IN YOUR DREAMS PLAYBOY; YOU AIN'T ILLER THAN ME!...
I kill a beat like a gorilla on P.C.P...
TRUST ME; bein' an m.c.'s no easy feat...
no breezy cruise down easy street; it freezes feet...

(bridge)

cause it's a pivotal TEST!...
and hypocritical; YES!...
we used to do it for LOVE, but now we do it for CHECKS!...
what used to be a GAME, is NOW a BUSINESS...
if you got game... cool... if NOT? YO' ASS IS IN....

verse 2:

Hustle doesn't get any easier w/ experience...
it's BIG TROUBLE comin'!... it's serious now... PERIOD!...
SKY's the limit, yet TIME is limited...
you gotta find time to write, rhyme & grind for dividends...

it don't make dollars, if it don't make sense...
i'm Canadian but i'ma STILL chase dead presidents...
it's MORE than evident, this west-coast resident's a veteran...
was BANGIN' on the door; then CLASS let me in...

and now that I'm in; i'm ready for action...
you are now about to witness the STRENGTH of pure passion...
plus i been WAITIN' on a minute to catch 'em...
I don't just flip the script; I re-write the whole anthem...

that's how we do HOMEGROWN...go big, or GO HOME...
i MORE than HOLD MY OWN... i hold down a WHOLE COAST!...
just like Class in Nova "Skosh"... you can test if you want, but if you step too close; YOU'S IN!...

verse 3:

I see a whole WORLD of trouble, like a bad moon risin'...
we be BARELY surivin' of this 9-5 thing...
workin' graveyard closin's hard to open my eyelids...
cause everyday, ALL day; you know i been grindin'...

stay rhymin', stay shinin' over Classified beats...
you can hear me comin' if you put ya ear to the street...
ya boy's a lyrical BEAST; and in the spirit of BEEF...
we put 'em SIX FEET BENEATH the great barrier REEF!...

so swing low, charriot sweet as I bury da beat... all the way from VAN CITY to the maritime streets... got a date w/ Destiny *and I'ma TRY and stop her stride... cause i won't have no more of this passin' me by...*

cause it's a pivotal TEST!...
and hypocritical; YES!...
we used to do it for LOVE, but now we do it for CHECKS!...
what used to be a GAME, is NOW a BUSINESS...
if you got game... cool... if NOT? YO' ASS IS IN....
