| 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)
|
