You Know My Steez |
| That makes me know that what we’re doing |
| We had the right idea in the beginning |
| And and we just need to maintain our focus and elevate |
| We what we do we update our formulas |
| We have certain formulas but we update em (oh right) |
| With the times and everything y’know |
| So y’know the rhyme style is elevated |
| The style of beats is elevated but it’s still Guru and Premier |
| And it’s always a message involved |
| The real (The real) |
| Hip-hop (Hip-hop) |
| MCing (MCing), and DJing (DJing) |
| From your own mind (From your own mind) |
| You know? |
| (You know?) |
| I, I guess right now we should start the show |
| Who’s the suspicious character |
| Strapped with the sounds profound? |
| Similar to rounds spit by Derringers |
| You’re in the Terrordome, like my man Chuck D said |
| It’s time to dethrone you clones and all you knuckleheads |
| ‘Cause MC’s have used up extended warranties |
| While real MC’s and DJ’s are a minority |
| But right about now, I use my authority |
| ‘Cause I’m like the Wizard, and you look lost like Dorothy |
| The horror be when I return for my real people |
| Words that split wigs hittin' like some double Desert Eagles |
| Sportin' caps pulled low, and baggy slacks |
| Subtractin' all the rappers who lack over Premier’s tracks |
| Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse |
| So as I have in the past, I whoop ass |
| Droppin' lyrics that be hotter than sex and candle wax |
| And one-dimensional MC’s can’t handle that |
| While the world’s revolvin', on its axis |
| I come with mad lovin', plus the illest warlike tactics |
| The wilderness is filled with this |
| So many people searchin' for false bliss |
| I’m here with the skills you’ve missed |
| The rejected stone is now the cornerstone |
| Sorta like the master builder when I make my way home |
| You know my steez |
| You know my steez |
| Let 'em know, do your thing, God |
| Keep it live (Keep it live, keep it live) |
| To the beat y’all |
| The beat is sinister, Premo makes you relax |
| I’m like the minister, when I be lacin' the wax |
| I be bringin' salvation through the way that I rap |
| And you know, and I know, I’m nice like that |
| Work through worldly problems, I got the healing power |
| When the mic’s within my reach, I’m feelin' more power |
| Stealin' at least three minutes of every rap radio hour |
| It’s often easier for one to give advice |
| Than it is for a person to run one’s own life |
| That’s why I can’t be caught up in all the hype |
| I keep my soul tight and let these lines take flight |
| The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest |
| No more of the unpure, I got the cure for this mess |
| The wackness is spreadin' like the plague |
| MC’s lucked up and got paid |
| But still can’t make the fuckin' grade |
| How many times are wannabe’s gonna lie? |
| Yo, they must wanna fry |
| They can’t touch the knowledge I personify |
| I travel through the darkness, carryin' my torch |
| The illest soldier, when I’m holdin' down the fort |
| You know my steez |
| (You know my steez) |
| Let 'em know, do your thing, God |
| Keep it live (Keep it live) |
| You know my steez |
| Let 'em know, do your thing, God |
| Keep it live (Keep it live) |
| You know my steez |
| Let 'em know, do your thing, God |
| Keep it live (Keep it live) |
| You know my steez |
| Let 'em know, do your thing, God |
| Keep it live (Keep it live) |
| The mic |
| On the microphone, you know that I’m one of the best yet |
| Some punks ain’t paid all of their debts yet |
| Tryin' to be fly, ridin' high on the jet |
| Set with juvenile rhymes, makin' fake-ass death threats |
| Big deal, like En Vogue, here’s somethin' you can feel |
| Styles more tangible, and image more real |
| For some time now, I’ve held the scrolls and manuscripts |
| When it’s time to go all out, you be like, «Damn, he flipped!» |
| Now I’m sick, fed up with the bullshit |
| Got the lyrical full clip, givin' you a verbal asswhip |
| Don’t trip, it’s the gifted prolific one |
| Known as Bald Head Slick, why is the press all on my di-dick? |
| My style be wilder than a kamikaze pilot |
| Don’t try it, I’m about to start more than a friggin' riot |
| Styles unsurpassable, and nuccas that’s suckas |
| Yo, them motherfuckers are harrassable |
| For I be speakin' from my parables and carry you beyond |
| The mic’s either a magic wand |
| Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb |
| Then I grab your palm, no pulse, you’re gone |
| And if you thought we’d lose our niche |
| In this rap shit, you way wrong |
| I stay up, I stay on, shine bright like neon |
| Your song’s pathetic, synthetic like Rayon |
| Fat beats, they play on |
| Want dope rhymes? |
| Put me on |
| Word is bond |
| You know my steez |
