| Yo we had a few kings, some dudes wore the crown | 
| Gotta say rest in peace to James Brown | 
| I know you love the sound coming through your speakers | 
| Feel it from your hat all the way to your sneakers | 
| I wrote this thesis with pieces of the puzzle missin' | 
| Make sure you choose wisley it’s your decision | 
| Gotta rendition & rederick you’ve never heard | 
| Spit it with clarity my words are never slurred | 
| I concured after seeing the facts baby | 
| Very enthused after being relaxed baby, slipped through the cracks | 
| And passed by undetected, you don’t gotta like it | 
| But you know you’ll respect it, well connected & still make it | 
| Pop, people wanna know «Pete when your album drop?» | 
| When hip hop’s heart supposedly stopped | 
| More bars than Alcatraz just call me the Rock | 
| Yo you tryna mock me talk 'em out, I hate 'em | 
| Standing here spitting all my bars verbatim | 
| Ay yo spin it back son I’mma bring the fire | 
| The same one that knocked down the towers | 
| And the wire, you preachin' to the choir PR the messiah | 
| I won’t stop rockin' till I retire! | 
| I won’t stop rockin' till I retire (Scratching DMC) | 
| I hear the talk what’s the hating about? | 
| Pete Rock 07 still straighten it out | 
| Y’all niggas hatin' on the South | 
| Cause they gettin' the shine | 
| I advise ya’ll rap dudes better get on your grind | 
| H-I-P H-O-P real life true story | 
| Homey ain’t D-E-A-D, I still get paid | 
| If I don’t make another beat, niggas say they made me | 
| Then make another Pete, I got some other heat | 
| That y’all never felt I like these cards & whoever dealt mine | 
| Bets are straight even with the chips against me | 
| Prove it to me 10 times & then you’ll convince me | 
| Seen some come & seen some go | 
| Said I seen some who still don’t know | 
| I’m a true believer that hard work pays off | 
| If you work hard one day you’ll be the boss | 
| (Scratching DMC) | 
| C’mon the games been good I had a long run | 
| You might miss hearing from me like when the songs done | 
| The wrong one, get it in his clutches | 
| It’s like giving a dude who can’t roll all the Dutches (can't roll) | 
| I got a budget but don’t ask about me | 
| Look ma dude hold your dick when you pee! | 
| Exactly | 
| Be concerned with yourself | 
| Said you waste a lotta energy destroying your health | 
| My time is spent dealing with truth | 
| I’ve been a world renowned name before they said it in Juice (before they said | 
| it) | 
| Put you in position, staring down the barrel | 
| We got prisoners of rap shout out to Jamal Barrels | 
| Show me the work & put it on the scal | 
| I always hate to see a black man in jail | 
| If I could tip the scales & talk to Lady Justice | 
| The cops will be on trial the government be busted | 
| I can’t trust it, it ain’t always been true | 
| Leave the game with a question mark like DJ Clue | 
| Gotta give thanks, be grateful for my gifts | 
| Put it on digital video or audio disc (my nigga) | 
| (Scratching DMC) |
