[00:02.258] One for the treble, two for the bass
[00:07.757] One for the treble, two for the bass
[00:12.182] One for the treble, two for the bass
[00:14.693] Welcome to the great incredible paper chase
[00:17.159] Keep your boots laced if you want to keep pace
[00:19.249]
[00:19.411] Oh No!
[00:20.633] Niggas ain't scared to hustle
[00:22.695] It's been 7 days, the same clothes
[00:24.992] Ask them originals cause they know
[00:27.272] Mos Def, Nate Dogg and Pharoahe
[00:29.506] Step away from the mic they too cold
[00:32.189] The funk might fracture your nose
[00:37.798]
[00:38.503] Say my name, say my name
[00:40.446] Observe how I stake my claim, I independently lay it down
[00:43.231] And played my game, my own two raise my flame
[00:45.712] Cause dickriding ain't my thang
[00:47.243] I earned what they said I wouldn't
[00:48.480] I got it the way they said I couldn't
[00:50.163] But now I'm getting it and they whole grill is crooked
[00:52.627] Mad cause I'm getting caked out from my bookings
[00:54.883] When y'all was asking permission I just stepped up and took it
[00:57.414] What!? The kid's better buy my rookie card now
[00:59.746] Cause after this year the price ain't coming down
[01:02.093] And if you got a joint bubbling then get money now
[01:04.326] Cause in a minute, there's gonna be some real trouble coming out
[01:06.644] Just a warning, as usual some cats won't heed it
[01:09.238] The hard-headed always gotta feel it to believe it
[01:11.611] It's a shame the jealous gaze is too short to see it
[01:14.038] But when they face hit the cement, they nod in agreement
[01:16.366] We could play nice and decent, or dirty like the 7-1 Precinct
[01:19.414] Call it a day or make it a long evenin
[01:21.107] You keep on scheming, man give me some more reason
[01:23.439] To have the women in your mama's church screaming "Lord Jesus!"
[01:26.168] Harder than y'all cause I'm smarter than y'all
[01:28.302] I know that deep down it's got to be bothering y'all
[01:30.389] Pay attention, watch Flaco get larger than y'all
[01:33.132] Put your pride on the rocks, make you swallow it all
[01:35.250] Oh No!
[01:36.490] Look at who they let in the back door
[01:38.745] From Long Beach to Brooklyn, they know
[01:41.125] We rock from the east to west coast
[01:43.546] Queens, salute to Pharoahe
[01:46.049] Step away from the mic, they too cold
[01:48.288] The funk might fracture your nose
[01:49.916]
[01:50.302] Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages
[01:52.094] Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin
[01:54.222] And it amazes - me how you claim thug
[01:57.329] But go two-ways without Skytel pagers
[01:59.378] I'm intellectual, pass more essays
[02:01.777] Than motorcade police parades through East L.A
[02:04.115] More beef then deli's, thus what I vent is just
[02:06.615] What you lust to vent, it's irrele'
[02:08.630] Huh, hallelujah, Pharoahe Monch'll do ya
[02:11.138] Maintain the same frame of mind - screw ya!
[02:13.840] Get the picture, sit ya, seat ya, greet ya with scriptures
[02:16.583] I'm equipped to rip ya, reach ya
[02:18.626] Pharoahe and Mos is verbal osmosis
[02:20.439] Coast to coast, we boast to be the most explosive here
[02:23.069] Ferocious, the lyrical prognosis
[02:25.133] The dosage is leaving you mentally unfocused here
[02:28.078] MC's just come on 'round!
[02:30.136] You're the next contestants on "Catch-A-Beat-Down"
[02:32.489] Don't be hesitant, sound cracks the sediment
[02:34.931] It's evident we medicine for your whole town
[02:37.509] Sky's the limit, game's infinite when I'm in it
[02:39.761] All windows is tinted
[02:41.154] How you seeing me when I'm in it?
[02:42.213] Rap, we got it on lock man, stop that
[02:44.709] Put that mic back down, boy, drop that
[02:47.086] Pharoahe's flows blows shows like afros
[02:49.302] We hate y'all though, that's why Nate Dogg goes
[02:51.295]
[02:51.353] Oh No!
[02:52.644] Niggas ain't scared to hustle
[02:54.853] It's been 7 days, the same clothes
[02:57.032] Ask them originals cause they know
[02:59.287] Mos Def, Nate Dogg and Pharoahe
[03:01.972] Step away from the mic they too cold
[03:04.322] The funk might fracture your nose
[03:06.351]
