Stay Still EP

by ZNER G.

supported by

kevinrayneman A solid debut EP from a true student of the game. ZNER G demonstrates so much of his depth as an emcee and as a person in just 4 tracks. Throughout the album, he is very self-assured in his rapping, personal convictions, and belief that he will succeed; and we can clearly feel that from how comfortable he sounds in his cadence and rapping voice. His style flows so well with The M.E.D.'s funky boombap production that equally deserves praise.

My fave tracks are Stay Still and G-Guns & Gold. Favorite track: Stayin' Still.

[Verse 1] When life's pushing you around, you gotta push hard You got everyday to make a new sound To change, to grow and rediscover yourself Try some new things say no regrets and don't hold back Say what you wanna say and do what you wanna do Everyone of us has a way to keep on going through Who the hell cares if you failed at least you tried You're doing well, they're nothing but mere crab's mind Just take the fall, grab on to all the things you keep Start life anew, dawn breaks it's never too late to Stay right on the path and know you're not lost Someone's got you in the back and up with no cost When the going get's tough and the road gets rough Take it easy yo, ease your mind and learn to let go Laugh it all off and dust it all off Stand still, believe you'll get through all of it yo [Chorus] I stay still, and keep it real I stay above, and stay chill It's not in my nature to surrender in a minute I'm all in, in this gamble and I know I'm gonna win it I stay still, and keep it real I stay above, and stay chill It's not in my nature to surrender in a minute I'm all in, in this gamble and I know I'm gonna win it [Verse 2] I grew up in the A's streets, I thought I was a misfit I learned to fight back, jump hurdles with a ghetto's wit I'm traveling, looking for loopholes, unraveling What's behind my mind and all the places that I'm craving I trip hard, yeah I put my life in wager Sometimes I like to experience the danger Well you know sometimes life can get harder But never give up, don't look down just climb the ladder And seek the light, know yourself and be mesmerized By how perfect you are with your flaws don't get victimized By criticism, antagonism, unconscious thinking Don't be blinded by the raven's wing you are a special being Breathe it in, breathe it out, life is fair, Laissez Faire Empty the cup if it's full so there's a room to spare Momentarily buckle up the time is changing We gotta leave something behind, to keep on pacing [Chorus] I stay still, and keep it real I stay above, and stay chill It's not in my nature to surrender in a minute I'm all in, in this gamble and I know I'm gonna win it I stay still, and keep it real I stay above, and stay chill It's not in my nature to surrender in a minute I'm all in, in this gamble and I know I'm gonna win it [Verse 3] I'm chillin' meditating I am tranquilo Going back to where I start, I'm climbing solo Steep and arduous trail, I'll never look back To all the haters, you all know that I don't give a fuck! Tough luck! This is my inner self, my fuckin' inner self Don't mess with me just because you think I'm innocent I'm not affiliated, I don't want to represent I don't have no limitations - I live my life to transcend I stay still, and stay above Got my hopes up ain't no mountain that is high enough I take my time, I do it my way and it's good I'm doing fine and doing everything that I could Like when I was a child, I get so dirty I got some bruises on my knees but I was happy Take me back in time when everything was simple Throwing rocks at the river, creating ripples [Chorus] I stay still, and keep it real I stay above, and stay chill It's not in my nature to surrender in a minute I'm all in, in this gamble and I know I'm gonna win it I stay still, and keep it real I stay above, and stay chill It's not in my nature to surrender in a minute I'm all in, in this gamble and I know I'm gonna win it

[Intro] Yeah, you gotta keep it coming yo! I'm Zner G. with Bart M. and Kevs Med on the deck Representing LA Phily! [Verse 1: Zner G.] I never thought of it that I'd be spitting rhymes and wrecking mic Newborn MC telling stories so just sit there tight We'll keep it coming, in this city that is full of lights At night yeah, we raise our banner just like flying kites We are the local culture, we are the hope and future We're carefree and wild, yeah this is our nature We are composed in a scene, we are the youth that ventures In the city of dreams, Mayon and dope adventures I've seen Legazpi grow, in its hood I act like pro I never left this place and its culture you could never throw We are the one that nurtures it, we are the one that fights for it You can't take us down, steal the wheel and go maneuver it! We have our own identity, pray we don't burn your effigy We rally the streets in the midst of calamity Cause we have the voice in the place of zero casualty All is well, thanks P.D double R-M.C! [Chorus] Keep it coming yo, keep it coming yo (Southside!) (Keep it coming yo) Keep it going on, keep it going on (Can't stop this!)

[Verse 2: B-Raw] My homies order some new quarter a pound To have some goody good chit-chat downtown uh Taking my portable cam, hooking clips on the ground We all chuckle like a jokey clown hood town! Waiting a new clips, physical shtick We don't own the street we just shredding Rizal Street Every night we bangin' beat to the limit We pop em' bottles like we don't care, trip it! Cookin' some new shit on desk for the peeps Editing vids with a cannabis on my lips Creating g-style a brand new critics Unique formula like a meathead physics Crusing n' pushing at home, straight 'til dawn Body has no more energy, moisture is gone Auxiliary of telepathy and reality Bart tellng, the recipe of LGP! [Chorus] Keep it coming yo, keep it coming yo (Southside!) (Keep it coming yo) Keep it going on, keep it going on (Can't stop this!) (Keep it going on) Keep it moving on, keep it moving on (Stalks Inc.) (Moving on!) Keep the flag hanging on, keep it hanging on! Keep it coming yo, keep it coming yo (Southside!)

Keep the flag hanging on, keep it hanging on! [Verse 3: Zner G.] I am a rapper but you know that I am not in Fliptop Cause I don't use my tongue to insult and to be on the top I just want to sing and to praise the local hip-hop But I don't even wear a bling, baggy pants and closed cap?! Yo my name is Jayson, the mic said to me hold on I'm smokin' the sticky weed that's why I'm at the ozone I used to trash with them too, just say your name who are you? Yes we could be friends to our culture introduce you! Joints and blunts and nightlife at boulevard Four wheels, two decks game on, play it hard! Hangin' out at the terrace or rooftops Listening to the rhymes of the hip-hops The words we utter are pure south and heavy We love the ladies and treat them like khaleesi So now you've heard the scene here in Legazpi We're the MCs who told you those stories! [Chorus] Keep it coming yo, keep it coming yo (Southside!) (Keep it coming yo) Keep it going on, keep it going on (Can't stop this!) (Keep it going on) Keep it moving on, keep it moving on (Stalks Inc.) (Moving on!) Keep the flag hanging on, keep it hanging on! Keep it coming yo, keep it coming yo (Southside!) (Keep it coming yo) Keep it going on, keep it going on (Can't stop this!) (Keep it going on) Keep it moving on, keep it moving on (Stalks Inc.) (Moving on!) Keep the flag hanging on, keep it hanging on!

[Skit] My countrymen... as of the 21st of this month I signed Proclamation No. 1081 Placing the entire Philippines under Martial Law Article 7, Section 10, Paragraph 2 of the constitution Provides and I quote: "The President shall be Commander-In-Chief of all the Armed Forces of the Philippines and whenever it becomes necessary he may call out such armed forces to prevent or suppress..." static sound [Verse 1] To prevent and suppress what? The freedom of the people? The freedom that our heroes fought to death from our oppressors? Then he decide to ruin it declared he's a dictator To satisfy his interest he used his goons and people and Political warlords whose on his side to terrorize The opposition ain't that dumb the true reason they realize The scripted scheme to jeopardize the freedom for his power rise To promulgate the blueprint, to achieve the so called "greatest heist" Clave, Enrile, Romualdez and De Vega Were all manipulated by the power and Imelda Abusive Armed Forces, a government of cronies Making lots of money taking care of private armies He sees nothing but a vast river of deception He knows nothing but his illusion of inception When he killed the constitution, hired them goons for self-protection And just treated them like pawns and fuckin' used their life as weapon! Triggering the M16 to anybody who opposes you! Imprisoning them innocents and telling them their death is due Call on your lap dogs who does nothing but to praise and woo A self-proclaimed god who gets mad with just a single boo! [Chorus] Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, now they want us to grovel Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold! [Verse 2] The bastard is crazy he used his guns to kill his people He has done nothing right for the Filipino people Now we're paying all his debts that he stole and grabbed as treasure His life will never pay the deaths, the victims murdered and the tortured! A tinpot dictator whose lust for power has no limits A dead-beat mad king, those 21 years are the shittest! A gun smuggling king pin in denial that he shipped it Then he blamed it on the communist and branded them a misfit A catalyst for a takeover, shoot first explain later Mastermind of hoax and fraud, history manipulator You think you can control us and crush the system like a foe? We will never forget that you killed Julio and Crisologo! His power flows from the bullet's slugs and barrel of gun You cannot be forgiven for the sins that you have done Now we fuckin' have your son, with all your riches and you're gone Another dictator in the making, the fruit and tree are just one [Chorus] Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, now they want us to grovel Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold! [Verse] He used our gold to achieve a desired rhetorical effect Win at all cost, three G's just to re-elect himself Took hold and monopolize the media If you were alive I'd cook my bills and coins to feed ya! Confused policy built on a quicksand of hypocrisy Double standards, plain lies corruption, massive poverty Unemployment, malnutrition, crime and bribery Violence and murder, graft and plunder as machinery Proliferation of false ideas and philosophy A propaganda master setting up a greedy dynasty Your New Society failed, it caused a widespread anarchy Ignorance and superstition while you raid the public treasury! Whom the god's wish to destroy, they first make mad The worst president in history our country ever had Evil genius, ill-gotten wealth and nasty power grab Dead people on the streets, he ain't legend, he's a fag! [Chorus] Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, now they want us to grovel Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, now they want us to grovel Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold, that's how they took the power! Goons, guns and gold, Goons, guns and gold Goons, guns and gold!

[Hook: Kim] As I remember those days with you Believing that you can't break my heart in two Gave all myself more than I can do But why can't you feel it, don't you love me too? [Verse 1] Can you tell me what we're up to? Before you tell me that I love you Did you regret that you said I do? Before I learned how to trust you Those nights when we we're trippin' always Laughing hard 'til we cry, I'm missing those days Childhood gone but memories still remain Destined that day the boy knew girl's name Playing virtually, pen marks and birthday cakes We never really knew love and what it takes Mugs and letters, roses and Sunday dates Miles apart for years but still we don't lose faith Coming back into that moment Walked away and I didn't know was that meant Then I discovered all the lies like an open book I was there for granted carelessly took [Hook: Kim] As I remember those days with you Believing that you can't break my heart in two Gave all myself more than I can do But why can't you feel it, don't you love me too? [Verse 2] The first kiss is the sweetest The first cut is the deepest Living a life full of madness But still you're there every time to stop this tempest They say that first love never dies But I haven't been faithful making all those lies I hurt you and made you cry Still you gave me a chance to prove my worth and try! A connection full of doubts, but we had it all figured out You know me, I know you we don't need no clue Getting stronger despite of all we've been through Days were fast like the blink of an eye I know we'll get by, and we'll make it in time Because you changed me and it's not for a while We've proven that our story ain't hello, goodbye [Hook: Kim] As I remember those days with you Believing that you can't break my heart in two Gave all myself more than I can do But why can't you feel it, don't you love me too? As I remember those days with you Believing that you can't break my heart in two Gave all myself more than I can do But why can't you feel it, don't you love me too?
