| Now I can remember: way back in the winter, or September
|
| It was '93 when we got signed, music was destiny
|
| We’d flee the spot to Unique and made a hop with fat beats
|
| And soon («Bi-ni-ni») the greatest summer jam hit the streets
|
| I was strapped with Nike Airs and Vex came through the door
|
| Had heads boppin a lot when the joint hit the floor
|
| Hit Canada to Florida, L.A. to the East
|
| We had heads in Japan shoutin «mark of the beast!»
|
| Now check the deuce release, we tell it like it is
|
| From grown mens to kids, lettin em know that God lives
|
| What up, dog, ha, the beast about to flip?
|
| This world ain’t gettin no better unless we don’t strive for it
|
| (CHORUS: Vex)
|
| So come in, and welcome to a humble abode
|
| Boogiemonsters, fat beats and rhymes is the mode
|
| Save the drama for your mama, coma or hit the road
|
| It’s time to get on down
|
| With that God Sound (2x)
|
| (VERSE 2: Vex)
|
| Yo, I was born in Alaska, transported to Virginia
|
| Afar from the true origin of the north star
|
| A small child, my father makin moves through military |
| Battlin heads on army bases for props, my life scary
|
| Never let a brother fall into his mode
|
| But everywhere I go it starts another episode
|
| Dig it, it takes a real strong brain to remain
|
| In the places I’ve been, worlds’s a waste, in sin
|
| I saw choppers and gats, missiles and maps
|
| Life of an army brat just pressured my rap
|
| But everywhere I go, from yesterday to tomorrow
|
| People cause episodes when we need to kill the drama
|
| Word
|
| (CHORUS: Mondo) (2x)
|
| (Mondo)
|
| Yes y’all, movin to the beat
|
| You can settle down or just have a seat
|
| God Sound is in your area, it’s keepin up your block
|
| It got MC’s jumpin out them shoes and socks
|
| Now clear-headed is my method, press rewind when I speak
|
| I don’t need weed to help me think, relax, write rhymes and do beats
|
| (Vex)
|
| Now in a three-line design I gotta break down this ep'
|
| I’m steppin out of this ride as quiet is kept
|
| Out of nowhere three heads approach me in the night
|
| Like «Why you shoot our cousin?», lookin ready to fight
|
| I’m like «What?» |
| then plow, before I know what I saw |
| The biggest one, 200 pounds, stood me dead in the jaw
|
| But my man Ronnie Myers had the weapons on load
|
| And quickly ended yet another ill episode
|
| (Mondo)
|
| Have you ever seen those videos with the naked big booty girls
|
| And the MC be rhymin
|
| And you be like, «Yo, that joint is ill!»
|
| But chill, when a rapper think he’s slick, he can’t rhyme a lick
|
| So he presents the naked chick to cover up his lack of skill
|
| But chill, there’s another category of MC’s
|
| And it’s imperative that I hit em, cause I’m sick of em
|
| With the el in one hand, and the other be packin steel
|
| Y’all so fake it’s dangerous, sayin «I'm just tryin to keep it real»
|
| (CHORUS: Mondo & Vex) (2x)
|
| (Vex)
|
| Day in and day out I hear heads talk yang
|
| Out the side of they neck with a whole bunch of slang
|
| But it don’t change a thing, gunshots still ring
|
| Invited just to fly over, peep the lessons we show ya
|
| Never sweat what’s goin on behind your back over your shoulder
|
| It’s just another road to the next episode
|
| Ha-ha
|
| Knawmean?
|
| So just chill
|
| (CHORUS: Mondo & Vex) (2x) |
| Straight for 2000
|
| Troy Hightower
|
| In the place to be
|
| BM’s international
|
| And you don’t stop
|
| It won’t stop
|
| And it don’t stop |
