[00:00.000] 作词 : T. Cottrell/T. Greene
[00:01.000] 作曲 : T. Cottrell/T. Greene
[00:22.591] What we have here is the alpha and the omega, I spit it
[00:31.546] Bear witness to the greatest and the latest
[00:37.836] They try to hate us, yo
[00:40.022] Witness the evolution of spitting, it's wicked and it's decadent
[00:43.220] Revolutions per minute every time the record spin
[00:46.083] Retribution for cynics like a stick-up kid with weapons
[00:48.756] In Brooklyn they say I run it, the 'Natti is checking in
[00:51.327] No matter the terminology, blood splatter artistically
[00:54.544] It's looking like a Jackson Pollock painting, it's a mystery
[00:57.337] Really should be brothers united against the industry
[01:00.199] The african diaspora scatter with shattered history
[01:02.952] The game missing me, rap is so repetitive
[01:05.832] Although I ain't your blood or your cuz, it's all relative
[01:08.683] I got a gang of rhymes, and Tone's beats is banging
[01:12.028] We moving through the streets like we slanging dimes
[01:14.704] It's magical, how the track so classical
[01:17.115] To cats who got gats tucked in they sweats like Plaxico
[01:19.889] I'm back from my sabbatical, voice of the future
[01:22.612] Black radical, keeping all the damage as collateral
[01:25.094] Listening to instrumentals
[01:27.720] Thinking bout all the things I've been through
[01:30.555] The music just a peek into my life as a window
[01:33.336] It's so Hi-Tek and it's all so simple
[01:36.127] Even if I'm knocked down, I don't stay down
[01:39.042] Even if I get down, I don't lay down
[01:41.816] Hotter than the tar on the city playground
[01:44.708] Hotter than the tar on the city playground
[01:47.404] Aiyyo, I'm taking all bets, I'm settling all debts
[01:50.857] A giant leap for man begin with the small steps
[01:53.735] From a sword to a set, to my people on the picket line
[01:56.684] Who sick of getting treated like them aliens in District 9
[02:00.323] I juxtapose my business mind with my spirit
[02:02.571] What, I'm just supposed to keep you comfortable with the lyrics?
[02:05.364] I know the flow disturbing, I know for certain
[02:07.853] Just because you know all about the artist don't mean you know the person
[02:11.257] You don't know me, I run labels
[02:14.120] These unstable rappers so phony
[02:16.261] I try to listen but they as boring as missionary position
[02:19.165] So I'm shitting on these niggas like dysentery conditions
[02:21.943] I'm sitting on the throne, you dreaming that it's empty soon
[02:25.066] Nobody feeling you, you screaming in an empty room
[02:28.075] The tree that fall in the forest, nobody hearing you
[02:30.709] Even though you fall the hardest, don't get me started
[02:33.288] Listening to instrumentals
[02:35.538] Thinking bout all the things I've been through
[02:38.359] The music just a peek into my life as a window
[02:41.092] It's so Hi-Tek and it's all so simple
[02:44.032] Even if I'm knocked down, I don't stay down
[02:46.897] Even if I get down, I don't lay down
[02:49.723] Hotter than the tar on the city playground
[02:52.566] Hotter than the tar on the city playground
[02:55.216] Yo, I build up my defenses when I'm left to my devices
[02:59.067] Time gets suspended more than DMX driver's license
[03:01.960] My music's steady, not affected by the higher prices
[03:04.651] People having sex in the streets like Dionysus
[03:07.626] You know what my advice is? **** my advice, live your life
[03:10.634] Stop tripping like everything a minor crisis
[03:13.254] I'm making sacrifices, my history is black as Isis
[03:16.151] I don't think that I can trust you if you lack in vices
[03:18.996] I never miss a beat, the liquor make me slur
[03:21.311] They takes my words, try to twist 'em like a Swisher Sweet with sticky herb
[03:24.655] American History X, your teeth will hit the curb
[03:27.174] It's easy cause I'm ill with the wordplay, I still flip the bird
[03:30.050] Like Jeezy, we stripped it down, now it's exposed
[03:32.659] I suppose my flow is "The Emperor's New Clothes"
[03:35.309] Although I'm always by myself, I never ride alone
[03:38.257] The music on, then I'm right at home, zoning
[03:40.713] Listening to instrumentals
[03:43.450] Thinking bout all the things I've been through
[03:46.177] The music just a peek into my life as a window
[03:48.825] It's so Hi-Tek and it's all so simple
[03:51.918] Even if I'm knocked down, I don't stay down
[03:54.643] Even if I get down, I don't lay down
[03:57.505] Hotter than the tar on the city playground
[04:00.452] Hotter than the tar on the city playground
[04:03.956] Yeah, it's the pavement, word is bond
[04:09.073] Don't be scared to think man, don't be scared
[04:14.592] I know what's in your brain, it's scary man
[04:18.857] You're only using like ten per cent
[04:20.139] The other ninety per cent is scary man
[04:22.060] But don't be scared, scary ass niggas, ay!
