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
[One life given] I dream of place where my people can thrive A place away from all hate, and hated inside The same tears, I know its real hard to hear But honestly we’ve been crying real hard for years And my eyes all red…red eyeing the street Because you have to watch ya back, dead lye in the streets And I want you to really listen hard for a minute Cuz Its hard to start beef and even harder to finish N I’ve seen how it works…fam’s murdered for what? You can swallow ya pride or you burden the cuffs And what has this world come to hold as its truth When One nigga lies down as the other would shoot The path that I took, many niggas have took it N it’s the Circle of life…but every nigga is crooked N The rich look down on the poor… …but they never stopped to even think about what were struggling for why do mothers hate sons yet the daughters are feeling me n can’t we all just live when god has created us evenly N why Killin off ya child is a modern day decency and tell me why are these kid all fatherless frequently (Hook) 8 is the food…when the children are starving and 7 is god, unaware of the army 6 is a fix that we’re dying to get when 5 is a strive just to try it our best 4 thinks hard…buts its nothing to three who knows in his life that’s he’s making it free with 2 shots left…are u shooting in hate and only 1 life given…and its given away I reflect on a life as a child to the death And given every opt to fail but I triumph instead what kinda strength is in stilled are they hurting to fill that empty void that was left when their parents where killed lifes never been easy, why you making it harder? With a skin so deep why you making it darker Why wonder what you get, when your pushing to fight Why thunder with the teck, when your footing is light Why speak with the truth, when you burden the lies Or when you drink till you die cuz your hurting inside Why smoke till you cough, or ya lungs’ll collapse Im just a victim of the past holding on the laughs Why send em off to war, why killing is strange why would we wanna see the another village in chains And I just don’t know…all the reasons to act Or why it seems that we all wanna take it all back But I do know this…that we live to pretend Sending kids off to war not to live to the end The youth of the times, the proof of the crime But what ever we’re labled it is true we are trying 8 is the food…when the children are starving and 7 is god, unaware of the army 6 is a fix that we’re dying to get when 5 is a strive just to try it our best 4 thinks hard…buts its nothing to 3 who knows in his life that’s he’s making it free with 2 shots left…are u shooting in hate and only 1 life given…and its given away Last verse…10 bars…last reason to speak About the things that I feel and am feeling in me So what do you think…you convinced of the story Or am I bullshit talking just to win a performance Either way writing…speak flawless my nigga Think about ya life now and how ya god is a figure The outlooks not good…we’re consumed in debt Justa pessimist of life…world’s doomed to the death im a hypocrite right cuz my spits is clear but really listen cuz I haven’t had shit for years I say it over and over, you got me as strange but maybe if I keep trying man somebody will change that’s all I really want…one kid to take a thought and have it blossom into life in the action that he walks and then…someday…when his children are grown they will take up all this hate in the world that I’ve known and push it aside…I look up to the sky praise god for my life as it passes me by I will for the strength…and the wish is true And I know and I hope that kid is you 8 is the food… 7 is god 6 is a fix when 5 is a strive 4 thinks hard…nothing to three making it free 2 shots left only 1 life given…and its given away
