Line Up: Darko, Loonie Makin' 'em proud, flowin' an showin' 'em..
Loonie of Real Talk ToRoNtO cAnAdA 416
Through early 2000's Loonie has built his lyrical skill on paper and through acapella. Eventually after meeting various underground rappers he took the next step and purchased a mic. Building his verbal strength through the mic Loonie began making songs, focusing not so much on the quality of the sound but on the quality of the lyrics and the messages portrayed through his lyrics. Eventually Loonie stepped up from him 10 dollar mic and purchased a professional studio-quality condenser mic. Performing at various venues now LunatiKK is determined to being Hip-Hop out of the gutter and bring the un-recognized city we all know and love so much as Toronto to new heights in the music industry.
Lyrics
Darko: 1st verse and chorus
Loonie: 2nd verse and 3rd verse
1st verse: I wanna be a d-boy, I wanna be fly/
Take a couple hits, now I'm floatin' in the sky/
Feelin' sky-high, got me lit like a matchbook/
Smokin' sticky green an' it's fillin' up my Backwoods/
Mom was a writer, pops was a stoner/
A badass little kid who ain't never did his homework/
Not sayin' I'm in idiot, I lacked motivation/
Spent all'a my time makin' beats in the basement/
Hoppin' out the spaceship, stop on Cloud 9/
Do an' R.Kelly, couple bumps then I grind/
I'm just tryin'a shine, get a pocket full of paper/
But all I got is lint and an' old Lifesaver/
Pockets feelin' light and my wallet's on a diet/
Can't hold down a job, I just keep gettin' fired/
So put down ya lighters, put out ya smokes/
I'm tryin'a make my money long enough that I choke but I'm broke an'//
Chorus: I wanna make 'em proooud, look at me now/
I'm headed for the stars and I'm pushin' through the clouds/
An' I'm wiiiild, look at me now/
I headed skywards and I'm never comin' down// X2
Verse 2: I wanna rap, no I wanna sing of the kingdom/
Defeated, depleted, I'm hopin' I can bring something/
To the ring, swing, sting like ciffilus/
Take a break, take a sip and get a whiff'a this/
Cone tip'a this spliff, serendipidous/
To the game, who's playin'? Ridiculous/
Meticulous the way I spit this wickedness/
Ain't too many Kodak moments, but picture this/
Age 8, was the man of the house/
Daddy ran up North, could barely stand in the South/
Wit mama and lil' brother wit his hands in his mouth/
Starvin', tryin'a make a sandwich witout/
The bread, dead broke no clothes in the drawers/
Friends and family steady closin' the doors/
But me an' boo an' mama knew we'd make it through the drama/
Now we doin' what we wanna an' I'm back on the corner//
Chorus: I wanna make 'em proooud, look at me now/
I'm headed for the stars and I'm pushin' through the clouds/
An' I'm wiiiild, look at me now/
I headed skywards and I'm never comin' down// X2
Verse 3: I wanna be livin', don't just wanna be alive/
Fun in abundance until the sun in on the rise/
I'm on that summer 35 degrees, no sleeves/
Breeze blowin', I'm showin' I'm flowin' pro until I leave *jeez*/
Friends and enemies couldn't greez like ya man could/
F*** a b*** as a testament to my manhood/
A car wouldn't fit all of 'em, I bet that a van would/
Or maybe a bus, trust I do it damn good//
Chorus: I wanna make 'em proooud, look at me now/
I'm headed for the stars and I'm pushin' through the clouds/
An' I'm wiiiild, look at me now/
I headed skywards and I'm never comin' down// X2
