Uhh.. yeah, yo |
|
Touch not, what not, say what one would |
|
Aim is to move not back but frontwards |
|
Go set eye upon the prize, more soul, also |
|
("ladies and gentlemen") pleasure's all O's |
|
Most know, some might not, find it irrelevant |
|
Age with wisdom, speak with intelligence |
|
Switch pitch up, let's see if hitters swing with it |
|
Beat awkward, let's see how many people cling to it |
|
Different design, comin forth mixtures like |
|
Exit cartel used in excess OD |
|
O.C. bonded for life with this |
|
I come through, niggaz whisper "He nice with his" |
|
Been that, always, nothin changed but the game |
|
Now a buck eighty-five, hype five-eight frame |
|
Bumrush y'all ain't no retreat, it's a wrap now |
|
It's a million muh'fuckers wantin to rap now |
|
Some suck, others suc-ceed, some try hard |
|
Most chance slim in the game to succeed |
|
No sweat, found niche, now it's a done deal |
|
Truth to be said, reachin heights unreal |
|
[Chorus] |

("let it be known") ("it's the professional") |

[Nas: "Professional"] ("lyricist") [Nas: "Here's another classic"] |
|
[O.C.] |
|
Back on the scene, seein things more clear |
|
Regroup my thoughts with a gift and a prayer |
|
Praisin me, fall through it, no acknowledge for the game |
|
And the things in the past you brought to it |
|
Writers commited felonies; sayin my name in vein |
|
Cocksucker givin credit to lames |
|
O.C. never fell short, fell victim |
|
Fell off, or lost touch, nor tried to adjust |
|
Trust me, put your bid in, I'm so driven |
|
Fairwell to these other rap lames, good riddance |
|
Who the FLUCK, WANT, WHAT? Bleek posed the question |
|
Look in my eyes, see my expression |
|
None adolescent, hardheads never learn shit |
|
'til they ass get spanked and had a lesson |
|
News at 11 top story |
|
Ain't nann muh'fucker out here got nuttin for me |
|
Set pace flows on mark, once I sprint off the block |
|
Heads start man I just can't stop |
|
Even on an off day, still a mad freak |
|
Think twice 'bout havin the nerve to 'proach me nucca |

|
Yo... flesh of my flesh, you need not test |
|
North, East, I'm really not impressed |
|
He say, she say, cars, bigger baguettes |
|
Just about played out muh'fucker now what's next? |
|
Gun talk, loud bark, nuttin but excess |
|
Like the same bomb dropped every night by Flex |
|
Give it a rest killer, your style all wet |
|
All mushy like pussy after steamy hot sex |
|
O.C. the truth, and so is my clique |
|
No chi-chi mon apply when it come to this shit |
|
You want faggot rap song, gotta look elsewhere |
|
My gangsters insured like good health care |
|
Believe me when I say it, take my word for it |
|
Change gonna occur but I really can't call it |
|
So off we go while this nigga O flow |
|
And hold on, cause the driver of the mission is a pro |
|
[Chorus] |
|
("let it be known") ("it's the best lyricist") |
