I'm not your average MC, been spitting for over a decade and writing for way longer. Getting good with making beats and playing the electric guitar. Music is ev

What's up Name is Lord Tenzo, and i've been doing this ever since i can remember. Started as a way to vent and move on with my life, but has quickly turned into the only thing that really defines me. Im getting good at guitar and been starting to make beats. Lived all over the place so my sound is real unique. Gangsta yet refined. I take this serious. I don't have any fear about not making it. Some people are meant to build cars, or catch footballs. I was born to rock crowds. Simple ya know? Smoke Budz -HB

Lyrics

I’m never too kind in my life
…It’s really hard when you love and your trying to write
You see the things that I’ve done here, mind on my price
...are just a stepping stone granted that I’m eyeing the light
and my jesus what have I done…
…so much hate in the way that I’ve handled my tongue
and every word that I spoke with intent of the choke
…to only smother out the hope of another to grow
I’m sorry that I trouble your lives
…and with so many in the ground now I’m looking up to the skies 
my friends…family…time with our people
…It was hard just to find n make time for em equal
I was never burdened or buried in stride 
…but the things that I did do I carry with pride
And I must say now that I made a mistake
…in thinking I was only other person to wait
and I’ll never forget where I’m from
…North Ch Ch kid you gotta love that I come
with every step, every thought, every diamond to speak
…and over all of the struggle man I’m trying to breathe

(Hook)
With one step back and two to the side
…We never try not to live but we’re choosing to die
(God you know we tryin )
And every time that I try man I’m proving that I
…Am only half of the heart that I’m using inside
(God you know we tryin)

I feel real blessed in the mind
…It’s like crawling out the earth one step at a time
and let wings take flight on the jet of a rhyme
…to understand that we’re trying to be kept in our prime
and I really truly am free
…when im talking on the mic and the loop is the beat
 and every word that I speak is the truth and from me
…and I don’t need to shoot just to prove that I bleed
I seen so much with my time on the earth
…just to justify my life finding mind in the hurt
and the trials on my soul, let me start from the top
…and slowly work my way backwards till my heart isn’t chopped
up and spit out and stepped on and dragged through the dirt
…it was never bout the girls but pain that they birthed
and I always know what I mean
…but let me tell you what I don’t and its not to be seen
and you think for yourself, do you know who I am
…because the last time I checked you where hoping a man
and whatever that you thought, that I was trying to be
…really doesn’t match the words that I’m trying to breathe

(Hook)
With one step back and two to the side
…We never try not to live but we’re choosing to die
(God you know we tryin )
And every time that I try man I’m proving that I
…Am only half of the heart that I’m using inside
(God you know we tryin)

Listen parents ya never will learn
…unless ya kids open up and the sharing is burned
into the thoughts and the issues, cuz the children are trampled
…by every bad adult rape, drug, and sex for example
I’m trying to use what I have
…but also hand it out balance bringing truth to the past
and every person that I talk to im hoping to greet
…and never beef with someone stupid, causin blows to the cheek
we where all kids once, now we’re killin for dope
…whatever happened to the people that would chill with their folks
whatever happened to the honesty in people with hope
…that it would swing around and bring around the evil to close
And I feel on top of the world
…just from writing what im liking not a topic of girls
not bulls*** verse, this me at my best
…and see my hands in the air bringing heat from my chest
and you wonder what am I now
…and I will say that I maybe the front of a crowd
but the truth is simple, what im saying not
…n over all that I tried, I’m getting closer to god
