| Back
|
| Caught you lookin’for the same thing
|
| It’s a new thing — check out this I bring
|
| Uh Oh the roll below the level
|
| 'Cause I’m livin’low next to the bass, C’mon
|
| Turn up the radio
|
| They claim that I’m a criminal
|
| By now I wonder how
|
| Some people never know
|
| The enemy could be their friend, guardian
|
| I’m not a hooligan
|
| I rock the party and
|
| Clear all the madness, I’m not a racist
|
| Preach to teach to all
|
| 'Cause some they never had this
|
| Number one, not born to run
|
| About the gun…
|
| I wasn’t licensed to have one
|
| The minute they see me, fear me
|
| I’m the epitome — a public enemy
|
| Used, abused without clues
|
| I refused to blow a fuse
|
| They even had it on the news
|
| Don’t believe the hype…
|
| Yes
|
| Was the start of my last jam
|
| So here it is again, another def jam
|
| But since I gave you all a little something
|
| That we knew you lacked
|
| They still consider me a new jack
|
| All the critics you can hang’em
|
| I’ll hold the rope
|
| But they hope to the pope
|
| And pray it ain’t dope
|
| The follower of Farrakhan
|
| Don’t tell me that you understand |
| Until you hear the man
|
| The book of the new school rap game
|
| Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
|
| Yes to them, but to me I’m a different kind
|
| We’re brothers of the same mind, unblind
|
| Caught in the middle and
|
| Not surrenderin'
|
| I don’t rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
|
| Some claim that I’m a smuggler
|
| Some say I never heard of 'ya
|
| A rap burgler, false media
|
| We don’t need it do we?
|
| It’s fake that’s what it be to 'ya, dig me?
|
| Don’t believe the hype…
|
| Don’t believe the hype — its a sequel
|
| As an equal, can I get this through to you
|
| My 98's boomin’with a trunk of funk
|
| All the jealous punks can’t stop the dunk
|
| Comin’from the school of hard knocks
|
| Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
|
| Attack the black, cause I know they lack exact
|
| The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
|
| Leader of the new school, uncool
|
| Never played the fool, just made the rules
|
| Remember there’s a need to get alarmed
|
| Again I said I was a timebomb
|
| In the daytime the radio’s scared of me
|
| 'Cause I’m mad, plus I’m the enemy
|
| They can’t c’mon and play with me in primetime |
| 'Cause I know the time, plus I’m gettin’mine
|
| I get on the mix late in the night
|
| They know I’m livin’right, so here go the mike, sike
|
| Before I let it go, don’t rush my show
|
| You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
|
| Word to herb, yo if you can’t swing this
|
| Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
|
| As you get up and dance at the LQ
|
| When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
|
| Then they clear the lane I go solo
|
| The meaning of all of that
|
| Some media is the whack
|
| You believe it’s true, it blows me through the roof
|
| Suckers, liars get me a shovel
|
| Some writers I know are damn devils
|
| For them I say don’t believe the hype
|
| Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
|
| Their pens and pads I’ll snatch
|
| 'Cause I’ve had it
|
| I’m not an addict fiendin’for static
|
| I’ll see their tape recoreder and grab it No, you can’t have it back silly rabbit
|
| I’m going’to my media assassin
|
| Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
|
| Yo Harry, you’re a writer, are we that type?
|
| Don’t believe the hype
|
| I got flavor and all those things you know |
| Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
|
| Yo Griff, get the green black red and
|
| Gold down countdown to Armageddon
|
| -88 you wait the S1Ws will
|
| Rock the hard jams — treat it like a seminar
|
| Teach the bourgeoise, and rock the boulevard
|
| Some sau I’m negative
|
| But they’re not positive
|
| But what I got to give…
|
| The media says this |
