CigNaGa

CigNaGa (pronounced: sig-na-ja) is an emcee/producer and songwriter from Downey California, who started off as a member of the local group the "City Limit Rydaz," with nephew Lil' Get Down and childhood friend and group leader Lil' Chewy. The young trio made music from 2004 to 2010 supporting each other's creativity and honing their skills at rapping, mixing, beat making and songwriting. CigNaGa's name is a tweak derived from the word signature, which he made into his very own slang term meaning his trademark sound. He gives spectators and listeners alike a smooth, aggressive, but an intellectual sound over traditional or sample-heavy boom-bap type productions, with presenting his message that goes against the status quo. His music styles are influenced by legendary Hip-Hoper's such as Xzibit, Elzhi, DJ Quik, Talib Kweli, Slum Village, Murs, Little Brother, Mobb Deep, Hi-Tek, Black Milk, Immortal Technique, Apollo Brown, Ras Kass, Nas and many more. After going solo in late 2011, Cig

    "Greed Scheme" [Produced By: Bryan Hernandez a.k.a TAo-S] W/Lyrics

    "Greed Scheme Lyrics" [Course]: Control your emotional outburst // be on your guard // Greed In your hearts may overcome the common sense in your brains [Verse 1]: (Greed) It's always the cutting edge // addictive like sexual plague // toxic liquid alkaloid haven't you read? // That's nicotine meaning you constantly fiending from a first to a third person prospective // now you consistently scheming // I'm seeking nirvana a thesaurus promise // it's bliss, ecstasy, heaven, paradise and nabanna // I wanna chill in a sauna smoking Obama mariju-ana // do what I wanna // fuck that minimum wage drama // People in the 21st have no honor for the centuries brought upon us // Imagine me calling you Dominus? // Not for long cause' I'm Spartacus // Gladiators proven heartless // conquer "The House of Batiatus" in front of an audience // Look what y'all started? // unfortunately, this just your luck because this sleeping giant is a artist starving // people will even hear about me in the Antarctic // Sacrifice all // Obsessed with glory I'm taking all of it! // (Greed) My hands are itching because I'm "The King of Thieves" // (Needs) Providing for my very own vanity cause' I bleed // they cut off my ring finger just like "Assassins Creed" // I follow my sacred oath, just looking out for me // I don't have a single friend, and that is because I'm deceitful until the very end // fuck a girlfriend I mean it, she only physically here for 2 reasons // I need my bail out money and everyday is fucking season (Greed!) **Evil Laughter** (Course): Greed in your hearts may overcome the common sense in your brains // Be on your guard! [Verse 2]: I'm taking immediate action // I jump on opportunities early spot me for neutral zone infraction // Greedy with all of my money for my addition so fuck your subtraction // don't expect me to break nothing down into fractions // mathematics keeps me stacking // I'm hijacking the jackers and then jacking their jackets // put em' in straight jackets, attacking for practice // caution man warned you to be on your guard // now you're a victim of battery & malpractice // And fuck thinking bout' the next life, I'm thinking for now // with this Cormega feel I would stick up a kid and go BLAUW! // Can I get your attention? // My intention to put your in suspension, it's more like missing // I'll tell you why I do what I do and stay rude and how I can sleep at night // excuse me I got you (ahchoo!) // Is it just me? Or do you sneeze when it feels like somebody talking about you? [Course]: Control your emotional outburst // be on your guard // Greed In your hearts may overcome the common sense in your brains [Verse 3]: I'ma rare breed and form they call me jurassic // not a single soul is similar even if you circle the atlas // I stay active sometimes robbing you blind gatless // to prove to myself I could do all this in bold fashion // My heart is painted the color tainted, permanently raining // it's too late for me that's because "Dante's Inferno" is waiting // I committed 6 of the "7 Deadly Sins" // but if I died for "Sloth" then "Greed" wouldn't let me in // My objective another thesaurus reference treacherous, deceitful, insidious, I'm greedy to the fullest extinct // Being the epidemy to "India's Thuggees" // I'm rugged busting through mother-fuckers like playing rugby // can't touch me // I'm Bishop from "Juice" with an ambitious crew // no dying from falling off the roof, we're new and improved // The money I fetch is the money I get // The 5 guarantees in life: Greed, Hate, Money, Fucking & Death! [Course]: Mental Rich Shyt // That's how we get down // Control your emotional outburst // be on your guard // Greed In your hearts may overcome the common sense in your brains **Evil Laughter** // Mental Rich // We out!

    "No Concepts Lyrics" (DeBoski's Intro): As you lay in your grave // Better know what you speak is what you say // Talons coming through mayne // What you say is what you gone' rep mayne? // 6 feet as you lay // 9 gates of hell mayne // Better be ready (CigNaGa V-1): With dead emotions got me hoping the light open instead of of choking from the darkness I'm holding // my hatred scolding fetal position is forming to those that I'm harming my demons is swarming // talons big as fucking armies unpredictable persona // take your visual 3rd eye your peripheral // CigNaGa critical to those who worship all materials // modern day Dante's Inferno it has an end to you // it's justice so fuck it I'm killing in the name of peace // dopamine getting to you musically // neurotransmitters are you feeling me? // soulfully speaking to you so you know it's me The C-I-G wrecking the m.i.c until the death of me // definitely now that we mastered the masterpiece // telepathically ideas are scattering // and the fact is how can money make people important? // but without it they get doubted and you shout it repetitive words are always way to crowded so you miss gifts //like most people they can't handle this shit //that's it were all tools distractions to keep us fooled // making it impossible for prophecies to pull through and you get screwed // forgive us we're not aware of what we do // false understanding is neglection that's human nature // delusional creators // those fakers also spectators // how dare they come at us like they some saviors // I'll see you later //because backwards is where they take ya (Hook 2 x's): Destroy bars like we unlogical // make your mission impossible // music making unsolvable // reason needed we beat it // practice make perfect we teach it // absorbing music we leeches // creating our own thesis // breaking rappers into pieces (CigNaGa V-2): And since I'm cold and non-apologetic // these anesthetics made me realize how I don't regret it // around me gets hectic in this section working towards your direction I'm flexing but addressing our message to the masses bastards only know the havoc // these catalyst causing static I had it with these faggots I had it with these maggots learn some fucking vocabulary god-dammit // schizophrenic with panic causing damage on Atlantis with cannons I'm the legendary phantom now bring it back //exposing your position for attack // why drop tracks when the corporate uses people like towel racks // I'm meaning the publishing and distribution misusing abusing your content now rap is nonsense an abundance // a horrible epidemic full of gimmicks so now we're forced to go independent // that's how we live it // creative control // now that's the business I ain't finish with these critics who motives are hidden // I got your attention simple (Hook 4 x's): Destroy bars like we unlogical // make you mission impossible // music making unsolvable // reason needed we beat it // practice make perfect we teach it // absorbing music we leeches // creating our own thesis // breaking rappers into pieces
