Yo, what’s up Marco? |
What’s up Brooklyn? |
Filthy rich |
People in the audience, Masta Ace the name |
I write rhymes and insert them inside your vein |
They run through your bloodstream, get inside your brain |
Cause I first put my name up inside the train |
My mic control has been unprecendented |
And you wrong if you thought you was the best that did it |
See I just started messing with it, I been married to the |
Game since '88, you just committed |
The entire fate of the whole Empire States |
Into hands of a man that’s here to inspire hate |
Hate for the state of the music |
And all these other cats looking for another way to abuse it |
I wake you up like a gun in the face |
I’m just here to let you know who’s like running the place |
And everywhere that I perform and do a show |
As long as you know |
«This is for those that don’t know the half» |
«Backtrack turn back the page» |
«Let me show y’all new rappers» |
«That's how the game go» |
«This is for those that don’t know the half» |
«Backtrack turn back the page» |
«Don't be missing any word I say» |
You love to hear the story, again and again |
How it all got started from beginning to end |
When cats used to run in a pack and slaughter |
The rooftop, Union Square and the latin quarter |
And if you came alone then your chain was gone |
Unless you was from the hood and your name was known (yup) |
And even then you was taking a risk |
They would rush you for your chain while you was taking a piss |
Hip hop used to be so thick in the air |
When it was there you ain’t even need a kick and a snare |
It could have been finger snaps and hand claps |
But nowadays it feels a little different when a man raps |
The track commence and these cats are french |
The media lacking sense, what I rap’s intense and |
I be the best in these rap events |
And how I got this far? |
It’s called experience, come on |
«This is for those that don’t know the half» |
«Backtrack turn back the page» |
«Let me show y’all new rappers» |
«That's how the game go» |
«This is for those that don’t know the half» |
«Backtrack turn back the page» |
«Don't be missing any word I say» |
Yo it’s the Ace in the flesh, of course I’m fresh |
Oh you thought that I was rotten? |
Huh, you must have gotten |
A bad sack of weed cause I track your speed |
I run up, fondle your wife and smack your seed |
I’ve been a star since Pat Benatar |
And I still want the house, the boat, the truck and the car |
The limousine with the big screen and the bar |
I’m trying to eat, watch it pour on like vine-gar |
Cause I’m old and grey, control the day |
I’m kinda like the light cause I show the way |
I’m the one to collect the funds and hold the pay |
The kind that fold away then I strolled away |
Shit, I can’t name all the hits we charted |
That crazy ass Crooklyn ass shit, we got it |
We came here tonight to get started |
To cold act ill and get retarded |
«This is for those that don’t know the half» |
«Backtrack turn back the page» |
«Let me show y’all new rappers» |
«That's how the game go» |
«This is for those that don’t know the half» |
«Backtrack turn back the page» |
«Don't be missing any word I say» |
«In this rap game» |
«This might be my last» |
