Alright coming up now another request (this one) | |
This time from the boys down at anna's pizza paradise | |
A new arrangement of a great oldie in rhythm and blues | |
Verse one:pete nice (prime minister) | |
In the heart of the city you was born and bred | |
You grew up smart or you wound up dead | |
Things moved fast, but you knew the scoop | |
And your savior was a rhyme and a beat and a rap group | |
A modern day production of the city street | |
You said i didn't have it that i couldn't compete | |
So the sleeper did sleep but the sleeper shoulda woke up | |
Now you're in my sight, the buddha sess you smoke up | |
That's the element you carry your rhymes on | |
That style of rhyme won't let you live long | |
Cause a strong song to you is what i sent | |
Cause i'm a product, of the environment | |
Chorus: | |
There it is, black and white (2x) | |
Verse two: mc serch | |
On the streets of far rockaway queens | |
Seagram boulevard, b-17 | |
Redfern houses where no mc would ever go | |
Is where i did my very first show | |
Had the crowd had the rhymes going, i never fess | |
(his reward, was almost a bullet in his chest) | |
And on that stage, is where i first learned | |
Stick out my chest to be a kid and get burned | |
You're so foolish, but i think you knew this | |
That on the the microphone punk i can do this | |
And doing this, is what life meant | |
Cause i'm a product, of the environment | |
Chorus | |
Verse three: mc serch, pete nice | |
Back in the days when kids were mack daddies | |
Striped lee jeans, playboys and caddies | |
Long beach, the m.o.k. center | |
He almost caught a bad one when he tried to enter | |
Our way | |
Bang! | |
Bum rush the back door | |
Then scatter, onto the dance floor | |
Me and my boys, skeezin the cuties | |
Never had static, cuz everybody knew me | |
Local dj's, tearin up the wax | |
And out the corner, some kid gets taxed | |
After the party, crack open a forty | |
Vicked it from the store yo the man never caught me | |
Went up to the arcade, cranked the bass | |
And then the five-oh chased us from the place | |
Hop on the railroad, play the conductor | |
Everywhere i went, i always tucked a | |
Marker in my jacket to tag where i went | |
Cause we were just products, of the environment | |
Chorus | |
Verse four: mc serch, pete nice | |
I wanna tell you something that gets me kind of mad | |
...it's about my dear old dad | |
He's tired, and worn, and works a nine to five | |
Clockin thirty g's a year to survive | |
But i know kids who in a month or so | |
Make that money sellin ya-yo | |
Pushin a drug, i can't understand | |
Destroyin a life with a buck in the hand | |
Play rotten slum chain, local street hero | |
But if you ask serch, you're just a bunch of zeroes | |
Too bad cause when you're older, you won't have a cent | |
Cause you're a product, of the environment | |
Chorus | |
Verse five: pete nice | |
You hear it in the strength of my voice and in my rhythm | |
Now you know, how i was livin | |
It happened to me, like it happened to serch | |
Prime minister pete nice'll kick the verse | |
In bed-stuy with my boy, kiwai height | |
The k to a kingston, wednesday night | |
To the empire, show slammin | |
Open for dana, crew flammin | |
Mouth open wide, or listening | |
Dumb dope with a forty in my system | |
Unprotected but respected for my own self | |
Cause of talent, no shade, or nothin else | |
A time of tension, racially fenced in | |
I came off (and all the brothers blessed him) | |
I left more than a mark, i left a dent | |
Cause i'm a product, of the environment | |
Outro: k.m.d. and serch | |
Aiyyo serch, skin is just a color of the mind and the soul | |
And a brother ain't a brother if his heart is cold, youknwhati'msayin fellas? | |
Word | |
And i think we need a positive kause in a much damaged society | |
Word up man nubians killin nubians, brothers just don't understand | |
Word maybe it's some of that crime that's stoppin the growin | |
The drug pollution and all needs to calm down | |
Word man, cause that's what we need, we need griff productions | |
We need a k.m.d. man to uplift the race and bring kause in the beginning | |
And a posse called get yours | |
There it is, to all y'all bigots who want us to bend | |
We're just products of the environment, peace!! | |
Hopefully... | |
(there it is, black and white) |
