Verse One:
|
|
The renassance man no gat in my hand
|
Episode numero uno check out the man
|
Spread a verse like a thesis or a virus
|
Open the iris nigga I'm the individual you can't get rid of
|
Prominent aura dominant moral islamic
|
Amazing phenomenon like Haley's Comet
|
Ya gettin headaches from this bullshit
|
I'm the anisthetic to cure shit
|
Fuck that cut up shit I be that pure shit
|
Expedition thoughts are truck
|
My mind shine like bins spinning thoughts
|
Bright as fuck, congruent like four sides of a square
|
I got a surprise in nine-eight, rappers better prepare
|
Timeless take every letter from the word I adverb
|
And put it together that nigga O.C.'s quite clever
|
Always and forever no one can do it better
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Respect on the mic we in this for life
|
For the street thug to my brother with same blood
|
One love yo sound off the twenty one slug salute
|
Ways to display the truth
|
It's Pete Rock and O.C.
|
It's on point fella
|
Ain't nothing you can tell us
|
Word up
|
|
Verse Two:
|
|
Yo I impact the earth like a meteorite magnetic
|
The P.R./O.C. experiment
|
Serving justice when we bust this
|
Ya now instructed to thrust one fist in the air
|
Regulate the anthem for revolution prepare
|
For the victorous comeback of the year
|
Assemble the militia as insert the scripture
|
Lyrics for the instrumental picture
|
Graphic in nature respect mics I hold
|
Certified gold five hundred thousand sold
|
News flash yo it's hip-hop built ta last
|
Survivor of the aftermath when guns blast
|
Waving a white flag while you dressed in drag
|
Remember what I keep in the trunk of my Jag
|
Suprise nigga respect due when I deliver
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Verse Three:
|
|
Since day one when I came upon the scene
|
For this mic I fiend respect played a part before the cream
|
I figure respect last longer because cream come and go
|
I done seen five to ten and even fifteen a show and blew it
|
Now I know now my ill escape is real estate
|
No more will I make that mistake
|
Respect is what matters cause that shit hold weight
|
|
Word up ya gotta earn respect in ninety-eight
|
Rehabilitate the rap game honor our name
|
Hold it down to the last frame
|
No doubt emergency escape route
|
Take the easy way out if that's what you about
|
If not then show ya heart
|
Create light from dark all aboard the Ark
|
As the rain falis I reminisce on Biggie Smalls
|
And Tupac the new world is yours
|
80 pause for the cause
|
Repect due
|
|
Chorus: repeat 2X
|
