Ming & FS - Skills and Grace (ft. Napoleon Maddox)
It's celebration time! To commemorate the 30 years of Om Records, we've dug into the vaults and pulled out an un-released LP from the one and only Ming & FS.
Originally released independently and regrettably absent from all streaming platforms, Back to One has been completely remastered and is finally available worldwide! The title track is featured on the new Om Records -30 Years LP and captures all the magic of the blending of hip hop, breaks, and heavy earth rumbling drum and bass. The album represents an era when turntable wizardry mixed with live instrumentation and electronic music culture.
We rockin'
Cannot kill this magazine
Always gonna be hard times if you live in this magazine, We rock
Always gonna be hard times, We rock
We rockin' rock this
It's always been hard times, We rock
Rock, rock, we rock this spot
Rock, rock, we rock this spot
I get tired of hearing MCs rhyme about blah who got the Gucci, Louis, and the big car
OG Riz, I can’t see who you are
You just drowning in your BS, trying to be fresh so
For you I got one question
Are your rhymes dope from pouring Don Perignon?
Nah, probably just a little soggy
But you try to act brand new homie
It’s too bad that you forgot I know your mommy
I was learning the game, you was trained on the potty
Somewhere along the rhyme, you lived a life of John Gotti
I sit back and contemplate and say, huh, not hardly now
Couldn't' be this has gone too far
So I slip on my gear, sit down in my car
Pull up to the club inside, see who you are, totally misrepresented hip-hop
When they see who I am, they'll know who you not
You basically a little rascal with a nose is snot
Now, close the doors and latch the locks cause when we hop on stage we rock, rock
'Cause when we hop on stage we rock, rock, rock
Close the doors and latch the locks 'cause when we hop on stage we rock
Close the doors and latch the locks 'cause when we hop on stage we rock, rock, rock
♫
Rock, rock, rock this spot. Rock, rock, so we rock right
Did you see the last show at the spot 'round the way? It was packed. Two MCs, one DJ
But what they lack? I really can't say, you know, I ain't dissin' but something was missing
When you get to the jam, I hit you with a new invention
Beats that glisten and the rhymes that shine
By the time you leave the show, you know I'm one of a kind
It ain't my fault you was taught to be deaf, dumb, and blind but I know better so the chatter
and the job is mine that when they pack the place, fill it up to the top
We pray for skills and grace and then rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
So when they pack the place, fill it up to the top. Pray for skills and grace and then rock
♫
Ain't my fault you was taught to be deaf, dumb, and blind
but I know better so the chatter and the job is mine
when they pack the place fill it up to the top
We pray for skills and grace and then rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
