The Emcee - Perspectives
|
|
(Per-per-per-perspective)
|
Yea, it¡¯s a new beginnin¡¯
|
Hip Hop, one two one two
|
The Emcee
|
Check
|
|
[Chorus]
|
They say hip hop¡¯s fallin¡¯ apart
|
But that wont stop us from callin it art
|
Yea we gotta hold it down as a collective
|
And make sure that they see our (per-per-per-perspective)
|
They say hip hop¡¯s fallin¡¯ apart
|
But that wont stop us from callin¡¯ it art
|
Yea we gotta hold it down as a collective
|
And make sure that they see our (per-per-per-perspective)
|
|
Hip Hop ain¡¯t the same it¡¯s a shame they closed Rawkus
|
Disappointin¡¯ like the Knicks to New Yorkas
|
All I hear is a buncha lames ¡®n shit talkers
|
Wheres the Kanes, Rakims and Chris Parkers?
|
Real MCs, are damn near extinct
|
Last time I heard some shit was Built from Cuban Links
|
Just think, other than that, the rest of the shit stinks
|
Better work out the kinks before your ship sinks
|
Sip drinks, get crunk, shake your behind
|
That shit is coo but it don¡¯t stimulate your mind
|
Time to take it back on some ¡¯91 shit
|
The ?De La - Tribe? native tongue shit
|
Can¡¯t forget that Onyx ¡®throw your gun shit¡¯
|
And of course you know you gotta knock that Pun shit
|
I come from a era where cats would just spit
|
Now after 2 bars I¡¯m ready to press skip
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I represent the last of
|
The dope MCs, that would never pass up
|
Any opportunity to rip your ass up
|
Don¡¯t let your mans and your fans have you gas¡¯d up
|
You really not that nice, it aint hard the first week to go gold
|
When your label can cop half of what¡¯s sold
|
You can have the top 10 billboard spots
|
Keep that, either way I¡¯mma still get props
|
The Emcee ain¡¯t got the throne naw not today
|
But I¡¯m only bout 5 or 6 slots away, uh huh
|
I am the source being I¡¯m that nice
|
Nas should¡¯ve got more than 3 and a half mics
|
Keep my craft tight, I know I can
|
No hit singles but I got die-hard fans
|
My instincts got me usin¡¯ the pen¡¯s ink
|
Not in a boy band but my flow is N SYNC (in sync)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
On Golden Child tracks I¡¯m at ease
|
To get my point across just like a trapeze
|
Stations chargin¡¯ flat fees
|
To get in rotation, you could put that in quotation
|
I said it, must be genetic
|
On the mic never bite my tongue
|
Give my pops all the credit
|
Corporate America can kiss my ass now
|
All they wanna do is milk the cash cow
|
Could care less if we end up deceased or in jail
|
Long as there¡¯s an increase in sales
|
I¡¯m not a rap analyst, just a fan of this
|
Real hip hop from NY to Los Angeles
|
Matter fact, any longitude or latitude
|
Where they show the pioneers gratitude
|
And thats the attitude that seems most effective
|
But yo, that¡¯s just my perspective
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Yea yea,
|
The Emcee got (per-per-per-perspective)
|
Golden Child got (per-per-per-perspective)
|
Kamel got (per-per-per-perspective)
|
Get your own (per-per-per-perspective)
|
