(feat. Black Ice)
[Black Ice] Hey yo When you look at me and my brothers what's your first impression Does the sight of us leave you guessin or do you understand the stressin The aggression, the look of no hope on me and my niggaz faces Like the lord overlooked us when he handed down his graces You see embraces, fall short on the numb tips of street entrepeneur fingers Still stuck in the walls of the project halls where the coke smell still lingers External blingers is all we can be cause on the inside we been given nothin to shine on And a record deal's harder to get than coke, so my niggaz get they grind on Cause the TV tells us, aim high nigga, make all goals lateral But see that takes paper that we don't have so, niggaz put they souls up as collateral Now, some niggaz reclaim 'em, some blame 'em, make an excuse to sell 'em But when a nigga goes from not doin to doin, what can you tell him? Not to be a nigga? Shit I gots to be a nigga, that's how I pay the bills And I'ma do that whether I got to sling this coke or exploit these rhyme skills See America makes you an opportunist, and at the same time they institutionalize you So the fact that niggaz get, big record deals big money and go to jail shouldn't surprise you That's what lies do, you see most of these guys do have raw talent just an infinitile education So the business feed you all the weed and ecstasy and a little bit of paper to provide some pacification from all the bullshit frustration they serve you Meanwhile they corrupt your perception of what the real is See they takin all our businessmen, and givin 'em the mindsets of drug dealers Took all our messengers, made 'em rappers just flappin they jaws afraid to admit their treason Took all our soldiers for the cause, made 'em killers for no reason And bein fucked up, well that's in this season So, if you're negative you're positive, and if you're positive you're called a hater But I maintain control of my soul cause I know it gets greater later And I told y'all the last show shit, a nigga no hater, I just know what the truth is Been intertwined in this puddin for 'bout a year now so I know where the proof is See, it lines these midtown Manhattan skyscrapers where former hustlers like myself sign papers and pull off fucked capers like, 16 infamous stars of the time They got us choppin and, baggin and servin that shit to niggaz 16 bars at a time now The crime is undetectable by the feds cause in heads of our kids is where the track is And music is potent it's straight to the soul so it's much more addictive than crack is Now, the high is just an illusion all lies and confusion But to feel that rush just once, my young bucks'll go through it So in essence, they still floodin the streets with the thugs, drugs and the killing They just usin these record labels to do it Takin our hearts off demos, puttin us in limos tryin to fuck up divine direction But, young black men have been trained to chase money and pussy, so we fall victim to our own erection And begin to convince ourselves we're on our way somewhere where we're not goin But ignorance is bliss and niggaz love this so, niggaz take pride in not knowin We not growin, nigga I give a fuck how slick you flowin if you ain't showin nuttin to these kids or addin nuttin positive to the earth Black Ice been destined to touch the world ever since I was born To be real, fuck a record deal, God gives me what I'm worth "Soul Survivor" nigga {*echoes*} |

It's time to dip dive dip
You might break a hip To the sound that's legit I've come to make a hit I usually bust scratches with my man C.L. Smooth But I decided to get wreck on this groove As I provide the slide You're going on a ride I know the weather's nice There's no need to play the outside Guess who's on the flyer The man of your desire Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth all the honey dips admire Beats are rough and rugged Pete Rock is the creator Now I'm busting raps while switching cross-faders Making sure my sound hits from here to Grenada Honey gave me skins, man, I told her friends I ate her But, wait up I save this subject for later But, it's time to catch wreck with the creator I'm addicted like a stoag Not into vogue (Yo, Pete, there's a girl on the phone) Tell her to hold 'cause I'm busy kickin' rhymes to the rhythm Fortified with soul 'cause that's what I give 'em Honeys form a line form a line 'cause I always seem to capure Beats made of rupture Rhymes made of rapture Far from illiterate Always seem to get a hit If you try to step to this Don't even consider it Skins when I want 'em But, only when I eat 'em To set the record straight, I'll be damned if eat 'em Call me Pete Rock I make the girls flock And if you want a beat like this, I got them in stock So, flow with the flow Because you know I'm good to go As I proceed to get wreck on your stereo Not an imitator Just a crowd motivator But, it's time to get wreck with the creator Now, C.L. Smooth, cut it up like this (scratching) Now, I'm'a take a try And get a piece of the pie If they give me one sec To get some wreck Never filled with anger A good body banger If you try to step to this you'll get hung on my hanger Before I say good-bye Suckers gave a good try But, point blank you just can't see this My word is beneficial Pete Rock is the issue And I know you know my style is official I might give a scratch (Yes, cousin) Or I might kick a verse (No question) Either one, I can't be seen Honeys call me tall and lean And if you want to stick around I'll show you what I mean Not an imitator Just a crowd motivator But, it's time to get wreck with the creator It's time to get wreck with the creator Get wreck with the creator The creator C.L. Smooth, get busy |

Walk the fine short line and put the needle to the grind Representin' one kind seeing eye for the blind Witness what I carry on bears a further purpose From how we do slam a few then you want to purchase A dialogue of funk, you love to pop it in your trunk I win, more disciplined than a Show-lin monk Pete Rock and C.L., well set to spark it The powerful target to destroy the black market But when you say black, listen, I don't know, you lose me I guess another beggar can afford to be choosey I come to the maximum, artist on a major label Any duplication of this one is fatal On one to five, I gotta hit ya live Beat your ass with my tape, any race or shape Cuz if they got mine, they got yours too But together here's what we gotta do Tell 'em...straighten it out Ah, yeah...straighten it out You know this is the word (say what?)...straighten it out That's right y'all...straighten it out (say what?) You got to...straighten it out Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) Straighten it out...yeah Straighten it out...it's like that (say what?) The funk legacy I pass on, clearancy for high rates Every time we sample all the past time greats Stick it in the SP-1200 beat, I make a loop Lovely, where the Troop in a Lexus coupe Just a little bit, set to make a whole lot happen The musical inside my rappin' Written by the C.L., produced by the P.R. And add in any credit that you heard thus far I start from scratch, cuz the bass line's critical Better than the original who first made it But now you want to sue me, but fans never boo me Believe I know the times, we been broke, too, G Here's another sample clear, seeya, get the hell outta here Like a bootleg, you're over for the year You'll only get the credit where the credit is due So, listen, what I shout out is true Yeah, true...straighten it out You gots to tell 'em to...straighten it out (Say what?)...straighten it out You got to tell 'em to...straighten it out (Say what?)...straighten it out That's right...straighten it out C'mon (say what?)...straighten it out That's right...straighten it out Straighten it out (say what?) Like the strands of lamb's wool, I'm thinkin' that's said Here to go to the head and count the locks on a dred I and I'd 'mit to verify, goin' to multiply A theory many thought a conspiracy Here to let you know that it applies to all of us You're no exceptions to the rule and that's a plus Cuz who Jah bless, let noone curse Straighten out what I be about, reckon above the clout And let the management work for me Because I don't need the unnecessary hostility A proper marketing plan so we can gobble up the dough Straighten it out, so everybody know The kids are official with the purpose of a smooth surface Kickin' the service one time to make 'em nervous We're finally here and very long overdue Pete Rock, this one's for the crew You gotta...straighten it out Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) You gotta...straighten it out Everybody must...straighten it out (say what?) Straighten it out...you got to Straighten it out...c'mon (say what?)

[Verse 1 - Grap Luva]
Huh. I got some time to explain the true grading of a rhymewriter So take the stance of a gunfighter Others inject intellect for selfrespect Or simply kickin' verses for a tight paycheck But they neglect is creative aspects in control The sounds and words originate up in the soul My thoughts cross wack emcees and wickedness They seem to go hand in hand in the mess That's formed the dawn of the fake emcee It's really funny to me how brothers front like they deadly, see Jah be's with me so Ras G is no fool Respectin' the original school that wrote the rules I'm layin' all these real ass facts upon the wax Mass communication minus fakin' the jax So relax all the gods will make you crumble and fall Keepin' you on the run as we start from Square One [Hook - I.N.I.][4X] "The I.N.I.'s in the house" "you don't stop" "Pete Rock, Grap Luva, Mark, and Polo rising" "you don't stop" Square One [Verse 2 - Ras Luv] I have to get what I want, cause now it's no time to front It's I.N.I. on the hunt just to smoke up the funk With no fear in this industry we in here So surprised I appear I play the back or the rear I pushed and shoved to get in, and I've seen every sin And it's been a long time considerin' But no bitter man, african, rastafarian, non-american Checkin' every man (yeah) In my zone because the eye is all alone in this universe I see the worst now I'm comin' in first A brother's thirst got him eager to merc In full effect cause I'm stayin' alert Bless the hurt at each and every concert Taught well to be the very next expert Never the spare one, I'm steppin' up to shoot a fair one Settin' it off from Square One [Hook] [Verse 3 - Rob-O] In '95 nuff kids can catch the vapors Rob-O spends his time puttin' words to paper Still so I maintains a fly flow But everytime I plant a seed they won't let it grow Guess it's the fact that I seen through ya team of major fake outs Your feeble attempts of gettin' caked out But in the face of temptation, sex, guns and paperchasin' Playin' yaself and say ya neithans Is it the recognition, quick cash or chart positions Or big figures that have you shittin' on niggaz It must be, thinkin' like the whole rap industry son Yeah no doubt you bugged out It's not as stable or firm as you thought In the scrimmage and the tables is turned, this shit is finished Yo Grap Luva (no question) cause this is how it should be done We takin' it back to Square One [Hook] |

from Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Mecca And The Soul Brother (1962)
To know the truth is to know the self
To know the self is to know the Mecca Mecca's not a state of mind or a place Mecca is a way of life It is the answer to all confusion The attribute I'd die for [or Adolfo] Abdullah Mohammed Makes way for the return of the Mecca Salaam Return of the Mecca (whispered 8x) Be sure to export the hardcore that came before Columbus Discover no other serve the soul on a dish Okay means official, kid, not decrepit Though the lyrical dynamo set the flow when I do so Entice the price with the mic device Hit ya slice so precise that you never hurt twice Fierce how I pierce when you near the frontier A world premiere so put the armor on your gear The overlord aboard with the two-edged sword Adored and restored, now the young gun toward Preserve the herb, never kick it to the curb Vocalize a verb, and the return of the word Mecca, the reincarnated selector From the whole agenda, something to remember A richer voice than Robin Leach I'll reach with a speech, no bleach so you can't impeach Monumentally smooth, I'll prove it sincerely To barely when you're near me clearly never sound weary Maintain the gravity, assault and battery So sweet the repeat you're bound to catch a cavity My ability to wreck a facility C.L.'s potential, smooth n' sequential Deep in every measure, hit the lotto for the beggar The midnight wrecker, return of the Mecca Return of the Mecca (whispered) Uh, understand the Mecca in command Part of the plan is the man who built the land He began A scripture ripped out the piece of a scroll Better the know, yes, a foretold, the beautiful and bold Start 'em in Harlem with the motto, the Apollo Boogie to me, I'll swallow hollow when you follow Stable like a turntable, lyrics I cradle No fable, label, or one, my tongue around your navel You're comin' to me so therefore the program's Mecca The silhouette, a weirder fella, darker than vanilla Talkin' about the theoretical, isometrical Alphabetical, rebel, a dissect-the-devil Unveil a tale in detail, the third rail Read it in braille, a bigger male leave a trail Now I sink you to the link, that'll make you think You's too large to shrink, I need a drink And toast to emperor, Mecca said to invent To know of a child, work your wiles so surrender And never to be lobotomized, the flexin' of the stanza But you know the answer when I drop a proper grammar Tabasco, the Late Show, flow to make a peso I manage to do damage so, honey, get Macco Risen from the prison, the division, Black and Decker Strictly for your pleasure, return of the Mecca Return of the Mecca (whispered) Ladies say "ah!," brothers say "oh!" Oh, "D" off the black Baryshnikov, Takin' it up north, back and forth, never been soft Bound to see me swollen like a Beethoven Listen, wide open, never tokin', "do or die," my slogan Save the sarcasm, I'll hit you like a orgasm Back off of that and maybe later let you pat 'em Necessary for any adversary to worry The legendary, primary, never secondary Dip in Peru, overdue in Honolulu Now'd if you knew the preview, could bubble like shampoo Outclass the mass so we'll look in the hourglass No time to waste for those in contrast Like the New York Philharmonic, sent to blow melodic With the logic I hear like a narcotic Put your best to rest, so get your bulletproof vest I got the wild, wild west to your chest You know the cause of death, so forget the autopsy Another got sloppy so I lit it in poppy Smooth as Peabo, but don't like Lelo For the grand finale I slip on like a Bally C.L. and P.R., categorizin' we are The soul brother, Mecca lover, funky by far The classic fantastic, rip it like elastic Here to get drastic, return of the Mecca |

CL Smooth]
The nightcap was exiled steadily profiled as the underachievin non believin can't stand to reason Where's your daddy boy to categorize the drinker Misunderstood to make the ordeal linger They label me a problem child who can't cope Hangin by a thread yes a very thin rope Inevitably can never be the man can I tell ya Visualize and memorize him in a cellar Well tally ho, pip-pip, my fam's gonna catch a fit My father lookin like he wanna bust my lip But that was never good for my health So I take the shovel out my pocket and dig myself Now when I look at the man in the mirror I see things much more clearer my Lord I'm not that popular, less than a dollar but the ? I pack can make you holla * Pete Rock scratches various "on and on" samples * [CL Smooth] I said, what you don't know could make a whole new world Man.. listen! I'm set to sabotage premonition Your propaganda, crooked type of version Some of the things I bring, you're babblin non-person Imbedded in my character, rebel nostalgia Uncommon valor who'd rather have no man-made religion or sect But try to believe what you conceive may be half correct I shed light, to show the path in sight Cause a man who can't treat you right can't teach you right In front of your eyes, what a surprise, and let the nature rise, just for the girls and the guys A Phi-Slamma-Jamma when you wear a bandanna Peace to Pop Dukes, and long live Nana The formula's reality, Pete Rock's the storm Together, forever, yes G we got it goin on * Pete Rock scratches various "on and on" samples * [CL Smooth] Internal affairs, flippin Hollywood Squares In search of the Mecca many travel in pairs Walked the slave ship, ??the side of ningamora?? to support a short order when I freak it on a corner Five-oh cruisin, decide to pull you over Beefin, "Where's the Coke?" I said, "A six-pack of soda?" The rookie's lookin thirsty, but everything's mental A baseball bat, to smack Shirley in the Temple Agreed to meet the maker so I yelled Hail Mary's And flew that head, to hit The House on the Prairie But the past can never choose my future correctly I found a greater source directly On and on, keep it on, you chant the boppin simonized, pullin you clockwise jammie To quickly skip the minimal tip, I dap for the wise I dip Can anyone see, phenomenally, to the last degree? I capitalize subliminally, wreck for positivity Yes my little chickadee, ready to flow with me Nevertheless I bless, follow me and see Predominantly, CL'll be, All in the Family God bless Marky Black, know we go way back The lyrics I pack is like a needle in the haystack CL and Pete Rock, Smooth like Dom Perignon Never torn, word is bond, we got it goin on * Pete Rock scratches various "on and on" samples to fade |

[Deda]
I want it all Yo let me make a call on my cellular I'm telling ya, taking care of business on a regular I'm maxed with the 40oz of Old Gold Soul At the store down the hill, cause this is how I chill So let me break it down for the whole New York Its go before you blow, right I gotta keep my flow I smoke herb for my peace and to release Let go and lay back while cousin catch a contact In this life time dealing with drugs and crime And niggaz that's way out of line wasting they minds With no time to play I just parlay With my words, my hands, the music and the micstand My pockets is flat, so you know I'm on the mission My wears is warn, but they clean I'm on the scene Not even depressed, only showing progress Paved the way and I say, nothing more, nothing less I rap for listeners, bluntheads, fly ladies and prisoners {*scratching*} For real, nothing more, nothing less [Deda] I hear the sound of an average yapping Saying some nonsense that's totally distracting Reacting to put a chump back in his spot Simply real, you try to flex and get stopped Dropped like a habit, or even a bomb Blowing up in your face, causing bodily harm I see you in the news, kid I payed my dues I walked the rocky road, and I scuffed my shoes I sang the blues, and I broke a lot of rules But trust me like Chupty I refuse to lose I used to crawl, but now I can walked I used to babble, but now I can talk I wear my Timbs, and go out on limbs But as the next man sleep, I keep all the wins Not even depressed, only showing progress Paved the way and I say, nothing more, nothing less I rap for listeners, bluntheads, fly ladies and prisoners {*scratching*} For real, nothing more, nothing less [Deda] Imagine just living the good life In the crib wit my kids on some shit wit my wife Cause it really doesn't matter how large you live A rapping champion, a company executive Association brings about negotiation Facing in a positive direction is a blessing Cause boom, you can be Donald Trump and shit And I can be me, just chilling feeling lovely But if I could change the whole world in a instant By saying some more magic tactic in a sentence My people in the belly of the best will be released My family and friends would have laughs at a feast No more, no less in the flesh Overqualified for the knock in your ride Nothing but the best as we slide to the rest Paved the way and I say, nothing more, nothing less I rap for listeners, bluntheads, fly ladies and prisoners {*scratching*} For real, nothing more, nothing less Nothing more, for real, nothing less, for real I rap for listening, bluntheads, fly ladies and prsioners |
