about

This joint was originally a bonus joint on my 2011 mixtape "RENEGADE SUMMER", basically the same lyrics more or less but done over the instrumental for LUPE FIASCO'S "DUMB IT DOWN" but I KNEW THIS SONG was so strong musically and message wise that it needed it's own production and now we have it. "SUBLIMINALS" is my personal call against lack of confrontation and people taking shots at others in an underhanded way and when they're called on it, that person is quick to deny their statement. At some point WE (MYSELF INCLUDED) HAVE ALL DONE IT! I recognize now it to be cowardly action, prayerfully you recognize it as well.

lyrics

Yeah
This is that West Coast Sounding
New York mentality type joint
Yeah
D. Steele on it, uhh
I can hear Snoop on this joint but I ain't got the budget
I guess I gotta do it myself
Check me out now
Uhh
Yeah

You're dropping these subliminals, playing it for safe
Wanna get critical? Then say it to my face
You strut around your keyboard, feeling all empowered
Talk a lotta trash but really you're a coward
Cause you wouldn't seek me out with that live perversion
In fact, you'll deny in person
Nah I wasn't talking 'bout you Jay! Yeah ok
I'll believe that the day Tonex isn't gay
Jay Elect' said it best, never throw a stone and hide your hand
On the real, you're lacking guts from the diaphragm
I've been called jealous, malicious, bitter on Twitter in broad day
I can respect that all day
Some will say, yeah that's right. Other's like, yo that's dumb weak
Hey, at least it wasn't a subtweet
Cause ain't nothing worse than not knowing where you stand
With someone you've considered as your fam

I don't trust you, can't take you seriously
When you're hating on Jay and can't say it to my face
Subliminal shots you wanna take
You wanna take your shots, then run away
Yo, say it to my face dawg, I dare you
You're talking all under your breath, I can't hear you
What's the matter yo? You're shy or not prepared to
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face

Some of y'all, I can't trust to get it straight
Social network actors like Justin Timberlake
The type to call Beyonce, Illuminati
While sweating her hard, your ringtone's, Get me bodied
You gonna really wonder after this
If your boy is saved or the new devil's advocate
Do me a solid though, ask me a question if you gotta know
This ain't 'Gossip Girl', that gotta go
I know you're talking 'bout me fam, I'm well aware
Yet you dance around subject like you're Fred Astaire
You think you're Gregory Hines rocking some tap shoes
Trying to pull a jack move. Dude, you ain't smooth
You be like, Yo Jay, I wasn't coming at you
You're being paranoid, you think so? I'm that dude
Well then I'm that Jason
And you avoid confrontation like it's tax evasion, eat that equation

I don't trust you, can't take you seriously
When you're hating on Jay and can't say it to my face
Subliminal shots you wanna take
You wanna take your shots, then run away
Yo, say it to my face dawg, I dare you
You're talking all under your breath, I can't hear you
What's the matter yo? You're shy or not prepared to
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face

And Christ had the upper hand
In knowing for a fact he'd be denied three times by his brother man
He knew Peter's heart, he had to catch it
Even Judas trying to be the coolest wasn't that slick
For some to man up, doesn't happen that quick
Can't watch these jokers with their Charlie Chaplin slapstick
I'm done, that's it
Hey, hit me up when what you preach is exactly what you practice
Kids on blog sites, popping off at the mouth
See 'em in the street? I don't know what you talking 'bout
You can't say it to my face, dude you gotta step
Even some church folk are not exempt
Like, Liar Liar, pants on fire
You call Kim Kardashian a ho, and you slept with half the choir
And you watch all her shows on E
That's why I can't take you seriously, nah

I don't trust you, can't take you seriously
When you're hating on Jay and can't say it to my face
Subliminal shots you wanna take
You wanna take your shots, then run away
Yo, say it to my face dawg, I dare you
You're talking all under your breath, I can't hear you
What's the matter yo? You're shy or not prepared to
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
