Got What it Takes |
Ayo, calling all hot college radio spots |
I’m coming to your city playing connect the dots |
If you can’t bite the apple then we brought the applesauce |
WHAT IT MEANS IS the versitile still got the moxie |
When it comes to Shit you love, that gets true love |
In places where nothing else does, |
The underground rise above |
All the cream in this coffee mug, like what? |
The steam when we make shit hot, THANKS ALOT to All those who know True School is a must |
If the records in your crates don’t collect no dust |
And your steel wheels got no rust |
Tables are turning towards |
Brothers with hot lyrics that keep yours ears burning like |
UNSPOKEN HEARD is down with us |
C. V. (?) is down with us Raw Shack records you just can’t trust but |
Rolling with the punches is a definite must |
I’m number 7 on the mic, |
Babydoll don’t forget, |
Some of y’all scratch your head like your scalp got lice |
I live and die for it, just cause, not just cuz |
So if it ain’t justice then you get just ICE |
See, at the date of this writing, yo my shit’s on hold |
At the date of this writing I’m predicted gold |
If 500,000 love real rhymes and beats |
I’ll be halfway to platinum when it hits the streets |
Do you got what it takes |
To take what I got? |
(I think not) |
Do you got what it takes |
To take what I got? |
(I think not) |
(I got street knowledge plus a college degree) |
Do you got what it takes |
(I got props as a DJ and a true emcee) |
To take what I got? |
(I got ???) |
Do you got what it takes |
(I got nuff respect in every time zone) |
To take what I got? |
So did you miss me? |
(YEAH) |
Well, I missed you too. |
Did you miss me? |
(for real?) |
Yo, I missed you too |
The hip-hop in my veins to which I stay true |
Tradition’s brand old, but the flavor’s brand new |
Now did you miss me? |
(word) |
Then I missed you too |
But if you diss me You better know I diss you too |
The hip-hop in my veins to which I stay true |
Got crab mutherfuckers not doing doo-doo |
Now do you think that you can handle my derogitory style |
That knocks the wind out you like a flagrant foul |
Oh, you drop some shit? |
But I transform the crowd into fecofeliacs when move my vowels |
And when you got to try to throw in the towel |
I wet it, rip you with it, wait a minute, don’t look now |
Cuz I’m so amped up to set this off |
We goin back in time to snatch out yer mother’s (PUSH!) womb right now |
Now, now, now, how’s that for hostile? |
Who’s that that stated |
The Live one that brag is the most overrated |
Ain’t I rated over most that brag? |
Damn right, and one, now what? |
See, yo, GIMME THAT MIC |
What the hell you gon do with it? |
You just mad cuz ??? |
and your shoes fit it You need to find some lyrics that can fill these kicks |
Until then, just refrain from riding my dick, until |
Til you got what it takes |
To take what I got? |
(I think not) |
Do you got what it takes |
To take what I got? |
(I think not) |
Do you got what it takes |
To take what I got? |
(I think not) |
Do you got what it takes |
Do you got what it takes |
So don’t call this a comeback (why J?) |
Cuz that would imply that time would |
Nullify the store for looking fly, guy (?) |
But my juice on ice that says concentrate |
Has no exporation date |
No matter how long you wait |
So you better in a cesspool with no BENCH |
Tryna combat the STENCH |
With a stick of inCENSE |
Kid, it doesn’t make SENSE |
Claiming Live is past TENSE |
Under false preTENSE |
So repent with knees BENT |
See, my time and my money’s both wisely spent |
I’m beyond fresh, |
I’m heaven sent with a lemon scent |
Cutting you up Like Eric B. running for president |
So a penny for your thoughts isn’t worth a red cent |
Now, you stepping in my realm of malicious intent |
You get powerbombed like a Sid Vicious event |
So ask yourself, when your rules and your back gets bent |
Where your pride and your props and back-up went, cuz… |
You ain’t got what it takes |
To take what I got (I think not) |
Do you got what it takes |
To take what I got? |
(I think not) |
You ain’t got what it takes |
To take what I got |
