| Yo I grew up in Mid-City near World on Wheels
|
| After Reaganomics crack came and more blood spill
|
| I gotta tell shorties now I don’t pop pills
|
| The only ecstacy I fuck with rolls with Jalil
|
| No grip, straight line rhymes
|
| Like the grand concourse on 149
|
| In LA the riders ridge was Fairfax and Olympic ???
|
| On the block the Ethiopians kick it (salaam)
|
| You’ll learn Angel City’ll test you
|
| I move through giving respect where respect’s due
|
| Ducking these cops who say they serve to protect you
|
| And handlin my biz so I ain’t tryin to impress you
|
| It’s mind over matter, crew over money
|
| I do strategy, I don’t act sporadically
|
| I contemplate, cat I move mathematically
|
| It’s Alchemist with Dilated, that’s family
|
| Still a couple lessons I can teach
|
| How the real fiends cop two each
|
| The game is keeping dope in the streets
|
| So look the world on wheels
|
| Still a couple lessons I can teach
|
| How the real heads rock real beats
|
| Bangin out the illest rides on the streets
|
| Look at the world on wheels
|
| Peace King, peace haki, peace queen
|
| I only leave em in pieces if they step in the ring
|
| They’re fumbling and wondering what weapon to bring
|
| I’m like Ice-T, I know my lethal weapon’ll swing
|
| Stop the presses, block the doors
|
| Cops oppress us, watch the wolves
|
| But all the friendly fire is worse than oppression
|
| Pressure more stressin is poured in dead presidents
|
| (Rakaa) Fights for your rights is my pleasure
|
| But suckers swing rulers like swords that try to measure
|
| While Slick Rick the ruler’s at war with INS yo
|
| I hope the young fly their best yo
|
| Hip-hop desert again, it’s like Busy Bee’s buzzin again
|
| My patience is thin though
|
| I ventilate em like I cracked the window and air it out like a Hail Mary to
|
| The end zone
|
| When I’m all out, I cause panic (peace summits)
|
| When I move stealth (it's mysteries and who-done-its)
|
| I made mental notes of who’s fam and who frontin
|
| Mental notes of who ran shit and who runnin
|
| It’s mind over matter, crew over money
|
| I do strategy, I don’t act sporadically
|
| I contemplate, cat I move mathematically
|
| Create to devastate crew, that’s family |
