Cut You Loose Lyrics


Hello hip-hop, goodbye music
It's like a love hate relationship
Ridin' in the Ferrari while takin' trips
Compared to beer takin' sips
Sittin' somewhere in a Camaro with racin' strips
Either way you embrace it
Can't no amount of money or lady replace it
And after all this rhymin'
If I refer to you as a girl niggaz'd call this common
I'm through as a fan
No disrespect to music, I'm talkin' to you as a man
How the fuck is you flossin' a Benz?
Listenin' to this nigga Rick Ross dissin' 'em
Jim Jones dissin' Jay
This rap shit done gone a different way
(That's right)
I know my lawyers play the lies game
It's okay for Soulja Boy to say Nas' name

Nothin' but Ludacris answers
The game backwards like dancers
Shootin' on the same dance floor
You grew up and answer to them shooters
Now them shooters is dancin'
Fuck you too
You corny so I gotta cut you loose
I looked in my book of rhymes, took the sign
I swear I heard a few of my nigga Crooked lines
I got these A&R's heart racin', got 'em in fear of me
Sonnin' they flagship artists for spittin' [Incomprehensible]
This is bar raisin', I'm raisin' the bar
So far tryin' to look at it's equivalent to star gazin'
Think I'd rather be water-boardin', you feel me?
Than to listen to what y'all recordin' for real G
Hell naw, I will not support it
Rather switch places with the child mom's aborted, kill me
My skills be on point like a flyin' dart
Sometimes I feel like the messiah of a dyin' art
A whole 'nother animal, not the kind that departed on the giant ark
But a vulture with a lion heart
I eloquently breathe fire
I speak for the Eastsiders like I got a Long Beach speech writer
And I could teach riders how to do they thang
So they won't ruin the game for comin' off lame
We could be birds of a feather, what does it mean?
Think about it, that mean I put you under my wing
Or I'm a leave this hip-hop thing to all you wack dudes
Cut you loose, cut you loose
Call me a hater when I'm tellin' the truth, expect it
SoundScan is unveilin' the proof, respect it
Here's somethin' you could never dispute
The last time I spit a rhyme the roof fell in the booth, I wreck shit
Man I feel ruined inside
Somebody tell me what to do, I'm a guy
That loves music but I am truly through with the vibe
Sometimes I wish it was dead, rather than look this stupid alive
I found out I been persuin' a lie
It's nothin' like what I thought, man, the proof's in the pie
'Cause ain't no puddin' in the hood when niggaz shoot to survive
But what's my single? Ask dude in the suit and a tie
Who stole the whip? Man, I'm losin' my drive
I 'member when singles used to have cuts on it
Nowadays the rewind button got mad dust on it
Can't bring it back if it's wack, when they come back then it's crack
I'm fiendin' for somethin good so I can puff on it
Y'all don't even give me a buzz
I can't enjoy a glass of beer if it's really just suds
Nothin' there but the air in y'all heads
Man, I'm fed dawg, I had it up to here
I'm cuttin' you loose, fuckin' abuse
I can't believe they in your talks when you discussin' the truth
These dudes suck and they bad liars
This is not what I expected when I was 11 steppin' up in rap cyphers
I thought you had to be mad nice
But apparently you could be trash as long as
You look good and have ice
I ain't complainin', I'm just sayin' though
There's no reason a musician should wanna watch a television
Instead of be listenin' to the radio, I'm cuttin' you loose
Look, I used to dream of just bein wit'chu
Woulda probably gave whatever to be seen wit'chu
On the block on the scene wit'chu
And the most beautiful thing wit'chu
Is we shared the same passion and I could get cream wit'chu
Not a qualm, not a problem, not a single issue
Then we started arguin', havin' single issues
Somethin's off nowadays, you don't seem official, so
I see you with them other artists and it's sickenin'
E'rythin's changed since we parted, you been different
Do whatever for bread boo when you started trickin'
For real though
How you could thug me?
If I can't be me when I'm wit'chu, tell me how could you love me?
Get so ugly, eat it, beat it, treat it better than niggaz
So you still be dyin' to fuck me, baby, don't interrupt me
Ain't complete tryin' to compete but you judge me
What you really think of me, you disgust me
I 12 step my addict itch
So Method Man, you could have that bitch
But now she got neighbors against me, still her favorite MC
I just hit her hard and she got papers against me
It's cool, I get up wit'chu later if meant be
Just text them old heads, tell 'em mate with they memories

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Alastair Greene Band, a three-some trio of musicians consisting of Alastair Greene (Vocals/Guitar), Tom Lackner (Drums) and Jim Rankin (Bass) have banded together to bring to you a collection of attributing tunes they couldn't live without expressing. Within the sound waves of "Walking in Circles," 11-tracks in total, 6 being original songs while the other 5 ranges from numerous cover tunes altogether being a well-rounded piece of art.

Greene says "I love the music and want to be respectful of the form and history yet still be true to myself and my musical goals," Greene adding "If that means things start to rock out, get experimental, loud, and crazy or I choose to cover more traditional territory, it’s all part of what I love about Blues and its musical off shoots." All of that being said and done makes "Walking in Circles," that more noticeable. Some of the tracks that tend to stick out the most includes "Get Out Of My Life, Woman," "Say What You Want," "Cut You Loose," and "Merry-Go Round," all of which showcasing the real essence that music is creating.

Establishing not only a source for the music to slither on through but it presents itself at ease exposing itself heavy and hard on certain aspects as well. The instruments really work well together showing off their off-beating tempo rhythms with eye popping vocal cord tactics balancing it all out. It puts the fun back in "funtastic" letting Alastair Greene Band show you exactly how it’s done.

Walking In Circles is a fun blues album, with the majority of the tunes highly danceable, instrumental oriented and radio friendly. The Alastair Greene Band reminded me of George Thorogood And The Destroyers on tracks like Drunk Again. Alastair’s background is working in a few cover bands doing Cream and Clapton songs as well as performing with the Alan Parsons Live Project. That knowledge makes the more experimental sounds of Walking In Circles all the more accessible.

This album really shines on the tracks featuring distorted harmonica solos by Mitch Kashmar, who is currently touring with WAR and appears as a special guest on the album. The Albert Collins’ cover of the classic Don’t Lose Your Cool distorts harp almost into feedback range as Alastair’s strong jam swings to the drum beat.

That great distortion sound is also heard on guitar. Alastair uses a number of classic blues amps for recording including a Fender Blues Junior and a modified 1970 Fender Super Reverb amp. His Eric Clapton model Fender Stratocaster sizzles with some hot slide guitar licks on Alastair’s cover of Hound Dog Taylor’s Give Me Back My Wig. And it’s not all about guitar either. I loved the classic background vocals and tenor sax solo thrown in by Alastair on the swing kid blues tune Look Out Baby.

Get Out Of My Life, Woman has been covered or sampled by everyone from Jerry Garcia to Public Enemy! The song was written by Allen Toussaint and originally performed by New Orleans soul artist Lee Dorsey who helped pioneer the funk genre. The Alastair Greene Band cover features the multitalented Kashmar’s piano thrown into the mix with the bass line brought up and then fading out with a long guitar instrumental.

Say What You Want begins with a bit of a Bow Wow Wow “I Want Candy” drum beat. (According to Wikipedia this tom tom drum beat was inspired by ritual music from the African tribe of Burundi!) This song has an interesting mix like everything is going in and out of stereo channels in time to the beat of the tremolo guitar. This experimentation makes sense given Alastair’s influences, Johnny Winter and Joe Satiriani.
