| [00:02.81] |
You say one for the treble two for the time |
| [00:05.85] |
Come on y'all let's rock this |
| [00:08.16] |
You say one for the treble two for the time |
| [00:11.17] |
Come on |
| [00:11.93] |
Speech is my hammer bang the world into shape |
| [00:13.88] |
Now let it fall huh |
| [00:16.80] |
My restlessness is my nemesis |
| [00:18.45] |
It's hard to really chill and sit still |
| [00:20.51] |
Committed to page I write a rhyme |
| [00:22.27] |
Sometimes won't finish for days |
| [00:24.18] |
Scrutinize my literature from the large to the miniature |
| [00:26.98] |
I mathematically administer |
| [00:29.24] |
Subtract the wack |
| [00:30.10] |
Selector wheel it back I'm feeling that |
| [00:32.85] |
From the core to the perimeter black |
| [00:34.72] |
You know the motto |
| [00:35.73] |
Stay fluid even in staccato |
| [00:37.19] |
|
| [00:38.20] |
Full blooded full throttle |
| [00:39.58] |
Breathe deep inside the drum hollow |
| [00:41.51] |
|
| [00:42.06] |
There's the humyoung man where you from |
| [00:44.27] |
Brooklyn number one |
| [00:45.73] |
Native son speaking in the native tongue |
| [00:48.04] |
I got my eyes on tomorrow there it is |
| [00:50.26] |
While you still trying to find where it is |
| [00:52.14] |
I'm on the Ave where it lives and dies |
| [00:54.38] |
Violently silently |
| [00:55.86] |
Shine so vibrantly that eyes squint to catch a glimpse |
| [00:59.00] |
Embrace the bass with my dark ink fingertips |
| [01:01.47] |
Used to speak the King's English |
| [01:03.37] |
But caught a rash on my lips |
| [01:04.98] |
So now my chat just like dis |
| [01:06.87] |
Long range from the base-line swish |
| [01:08.81] |
Move like an apparition |
| [01:10.38] |
Float to the ground with ammuntionchi-chi-POW |
| [01:13.17] |
Move from the gatevoice cued on your tape |
| [01:15.55] |
Putting food on your plate |
| [01:16.79] |
Many crews can relate |
| [01:18.15] |
Who choosing your fate yo |
| [01:19.89] |
We went from picking cotton |
| [01:21.33] |
To chain gang line chopping |
| [01:22.94] |
To Be-Bopping to Hip-Hopping |
| [01:25.03] |
Blues people got the blue chip stock option |
| [01:27.47] |
Invisible man got the whole world watching |
| [01:30.14] |
Where ya at I'm high low east west |
| [01:32.24] |
All over your map |
| [01:33.30] |
I'm getting big props with this thing called hip hop |
| [01:36.03] |
Where you can either get paid or get shot |
| [01:38.04] |
When your product in stock |
| [01:39.40] |
The fair-weather friends flock |
| [01:40.69] |
When your chart position drop |
| [01:42.09] |
Then the phone calls |
| [01:43.06] |
|
| [01:43.61] |
Chill for a minute |
| [01:44.68] |
Let's see who else hot |
| [01:46.08] |
Snatch your shelf spot |
| [01:47.15] |
Don't gas yourself ock |
| [01:48.68] |
The industry just a better built cell block |
| [01:51.19] |
A long way from the shell tops |
| [01:53.29] |
And the bells that L rocked rock rock rock rock |
| [01:59.65] |
|
| [02:20.08] |
Hip Hop is prosecution evidence |
| [02:21.79] |
An out of court settlement |
| [02:22.99] |
Ad space for liquor |
| [02:24.29] |
Sick without benefits hungh |
| [02:25.99] |
Luxury tenements choking the skyline |
| [02:27.97] |
It's low life getting tree-top high |
| [02:30.68] |
It is a back water remedy |
| [02:32.34] |
Bitter and tender memory |
| [02:33.51] |
A class E felony |
| [02:34.94] |
Facing the death penalty hungh |
| [02:36.80] |
Stimulant and sedative original repetitive |
| [02:39.28] |
Violently competitive a school unaccredited |
| [02:42.73] |
The break beats you get broken with |
| [02:44.28] |
On time and inappropriate |
| [02:45.61] |
Hip Hop went from selling crack to smoking it |
| [02:47.66] |
Medicine for loneliness |
| [02:48.93] |
Remind me of Thelonius and Dizzy |
| [02:50.95] |
Propers to B-Boys getting busy |
| [02:52.88] |
The war-time snap shot |
| [02:54.88] |
The working man's jack-pot |
| [02:56.16] |
A two dollar snack box |
| [02:57.54] |
Sold beneath the crack spot |
| [02:58.91] |
Olympic sponsor of the black Glock |
| [03:01.03] |
Gold medalist in the back shot |
| [03:02.98] |
From the sovereign state of the have-nots |
| [03:04.82] |
Where farmers have trouble with cash crops woooo |
| [03:07.46] |
It's all-city like Phase 2 |
| [03:09.01] |
Hip Hop will simply amaze you |
| [03:10.60] |
Praise you pay you |
| [03:12.12] |
Do whatever you say do |
| [03:13.62] |
But black it can't save you |
