[Grand Puba]
|
Now a lot of people think this is easy as it looks
|
Books and books of rhyme concepts and hooks
|
Session to session to get thoughts manifested
|
Stressin and stressin to hit the world with a blessin
|
Lot of people often ask, "Puba how you givin back?"
|
The way I give back is through the knowledge of my raps
|
like a gem, for all my people caught out on a limb
|
who be givin in, caught out on a stem, who don't wanna win
|
"I'm feelin you I know you gettin down like that
|
but what I'm sayin Dog is let me hold a little somethin black!
|
I'll hit you back!" C'mon dead that, that's the tenth time
|
I heard that -- all you know is gimme I work hard for every penny
|
that I make -- video and tape
|
LP and CD, if I fall, you feedin me?
|
No dough to spread, always keep a level head
|
Long as my seeds get fed, it won't go to my head, so..
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Everybody love a star, when he on top
|
"Don't don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Nobody comes around when the star start to drop
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Strive to help others who help themselves
|
"Don't let it go your head, no no no no no!"
|
Knowledge of self, and good health and wealth
|
[Sadat X]
|
The ladies are datin, no question but you can't tell her that
|
Cause subconciously, we put our hand out
|
Like I'm that ATM cat, drop me off at Chase
|
Earring in the navel like you sex-u-al
|
Royalty, while the whole loyalty means [shit]
|
Get wreck in the kitchen like she were on the cooking channel
|
and didn't have a [nigga] in the car do'
|
Got ??? she's a mother to be, I hope they're twins
|
Give me a whole tribe
|
and be as sexy as Janet was on the cover of Vibe
|
She slick talk, playin you
|
well she got a girlfriend that used to tap
|
back when, so she always worryin with you
|
Tell her hold it down ma, I give you high ranks
|
Sometimes you wild but I guess that's your style
|
If you lay up in my high rise, will you stay wise?
|
Will the slave thighs open your eyes, girl..
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Don't believe those jealous type cats
|
"Don't don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Cause I'm the one makin some late night cash
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
I told you girl my home is my castle
|
"Don't let it go your head, no no no no no!"
|
Understand it won't be no hassle
|
[Lord Jamar]
|
I heard your single on the battle of the beats
|
It won five nights, I bet you had the time of your life
|
Workin so hard, and so long, to make a record
|
Finally to make a song people respected
|
Collect the dough at a show as you sip the Mo'
|
Now you hittin the flo', you never hit befo'
|
Got you trippin, how much better could it get?
|
Got the leather with the work check, all up in the whip
|
They're all legitimate, callin it what it's really not
|
This is just one single you got, that's really hot
|
Tomorrow it could bust just like a blood clot
|
Leave you in the dust with your body to rot
|
Another party to rock, if it's you or if it's me
|
it doesn't matter cause it just won't stop
|
Don't let your gray matter pop
|
Cause when you release the album
|
If they don't cop, you gonna get dropped, so..
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Cause one single don't make you a hit
|
"Don't don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Stay true to who you are don't never forget
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
Keep your feet on solid ground
|
"Don't let it go your head, no no no no no!"
|
Cause what goes up, must come down, uhh
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
"Don't don't let it go your head, no!"
|
"Don't let it go your head, no!"
|
"Don't let it go your head, no no no no no!"
