[Verse 1] In 95, when my father was still alive Hip-Hop hit my heart and I started to feel the vibe I’d listen to Nas spit rhymes too damn correct I can’t forget my doggystyle and my wu-tang cassette See, I was only ten, holding a pen Hoping to find schemes, rhyming over and over again At 13, I had a crew, we’d flow and hang out And that’s how I started rapping with the homie Bankal He went his way and I went mine He switched to turntable-ism, I perfected my rhyme A decade later, we met again and said "what up?" We gotta get together and tear the stage the **** up! [Hook] Oh Boy ! These kids so cool The beat’s so deep, the flow’s so smooth Mic check, one two, one two They came to rock, to rock the house for you [Verse 2] We ain’t about enterprising or dough making But we wanna say thanks to you folks for donating Peace to all the reviews and dope ratings For those that bang they skulls to this ’til they dome aching! Thanks to y’all we gon’ keep feasting off emceeing We gon’ keep performing, beat-making, beasting for a reason Peace to all you people, Eastern European Swedish or Norwegian, Aussie, Asian, even North Korean France, Germany, US and the UK Africa, Mexico and even kids from Uruguay Chill out and bump this, ‘cause this is a new day And haters : We couldn’t give a shit ’bout what you say [Hook] Oh Boy ! These kids so cool The beat’s so deep, the flow’s so smooth Mic check, one two, one two They came to rock, to rock the house for you [Outro (Verse 1 of "Just a Sample 2")] Life’s a game, who’s ready to win Who’s ready to face the true devil within Are you ready to fight when you step in the ring Step to the right, move left and then swing Learn from every bruise left in your skin When time flies, shoot lead in its wing Seasons spin, loops end and begin When the tables turn, you lose everything Don’t cling to life, life is too complex You’re a useless speck sliding through the nets To the right and to the left You slide from one cycle to the next Use your head, try to do what’s best Best be cool, use the time that you can get Let the present guide your future steps Defy death and die with few regrets
