[Mos Def]
|
Yeah..
|
One for the treble, two for the bass
|
Welcome to the great incredible paper chase
|
Keep your boots laced if you want to keep pace
|
|
[Nate Dogg]
|
Oh No
|
Niggas ain't scared to hustle
|
It's been seven days, the same clothes
|
Ask them originals cause they know
|
Mos Def, Nate Dogg, and Pharoahe
|
Step away from the mic they too cold
|
The funk might fracture your nose
|
|
[Mos Def]
|
Say my name, say my name
|
Observe how I stake my claim, I independently lay it down
|
and played my game, my own two raise my flame
|
Cause dick ridin ain't my thang
|
I earned what they said I wouldn't
|
I got it the way they said I couldn't
|
But now I'm gettin it and they whole grill is crooked
|
Mad cause I'm gettin caked out from my bookings
|
When y'all was askin permission I just stepped up and took it
|
What!? The kid's better buy my rookie card now
|
Cause after this year the price ain't comin down
|
And if you got a joint bubblin then get money now
|
Cause in a minute, there's gonna be some real trouble comin out
|
Just a warnin, as usual some cats wont heed it
|
The hard headed always gotta feel it to believe it
|
It's a shame the jealous gaze is too short to see it
|
But when they face hit the cement, they nod in agreement
|
We could play nice and decent, or dirty like the 7-1 Precinct
|
Call it a day or make it a long evenin
|
You keep on schemin, man give me some more reason
|
to have the women in your mama's church screamin "Lord Jesus!"
|
Harder than y'all cause I'm smarter than y'all
|
I know that deep down it's got to be bothering y'all
|
Pay attention, watch fly gon' get larger than y'all
|
Put your pride on the rocks, make you swallow it all
|
The mathematic problem for y'all, it just get harder to solve
|
Every day that the saga evolve
|
The do or die stay rumblin and bumblin hard
|
And when we move, we ain't got no discussion at all
|
East coast on your neck and you ain't shruggin it off
|
Try to bullyfoot and end up stumblin off
|
I'm Daddy Brooklyn, y'all niggaz are the sons of New York
|
Gettin spanked when there's too much trouble to talk
|
Respect mine
|
|
[Nate Dogg]
|
Oh No
|
Look at who they let in the back door
|
From Long Beach to Brooklyn they know
|
We rock from the East to West coast
|
Queens salute to Pharoahe (you know)
|
Step away from the mic they too cold
|
The funk might fracture your nose
|
|
[Pharoahe Monch]
|
Very contagious raps should be trapped in cages
|
Through stages of wackness, Pharoahe's raps are blazin
|
And it amazes - me how you claim thug
|
but go two-ways without SkyTel pagers
|
I'm intellectual, pass more essays/ese's
|
than motorcade police parades through East L.A.
|
More beef then deli's, thus what I vent is just
|
What you lust to vent is irrele'
|
Huh, hallelujah, Pharoahe Monch'll do ya
|
Maintain the same frame of mind - screw ya!
|
Get the picture, sit ya, seat ya, preacher with scriptures
|
I'm equipped to rip ya, reach ya
|
Pharoahe and Mos verbalize most
|
Coast to coast, we boast to be the most explosive here
|
Ferocious, the lyrical prognosis
|
The dosage is leavin you mentally unfocused here
|
MC's just - come on 'round
|
You're the next contestants on "Catch-A-Beat-Down"
|
Don't be hesitant, sound cracks the sediment
|
It's evident we medicine for your whole town
|
Sky's the limit, game's infinite when I'm in it
|
All windows is tinted, how you seein me when I'm in it?
|
Rap, we got it on lock man, stop that
|
Put that mic back down, boy, drop that
|
Pharoahe's flows blows shows like afros
|
We hate y'all though, that's why Nate Dogg goes:
|
|
[Nate Dogg: repeat 2X]
|
Oh No
|
Niggas ain't scared to hustle
|
It's been seven days, the same clothes
|
Ask them originals cause they know
|
Mos Def, Nate Dogg, and Pharoahe
|
Step away from the mic they too cold
|
The funk might fracture your nose
|
|
[Nate Dogg]
|
Oh No
|
Look at who they let in the back door
|
From Long Beach to Brooklyn they know
|
We rock from the East to West coast
|
Queens salute to Pharoahe (you know)
|
Step away from the mic they too cold
