The Lesson (Pt. 3) (It's Over Now) |
Well it’s the raw regees, thoroughbred from Philly |
My name Black Thought, my girl’s the Black Lilies |
Some people try to front like, I ain’t feeling it, really" |
But that’s silly 'cuz how the fuck you can’t feel me? |
When I first felt it, I knew it had to be dealt wit |
A lot of ice grilling in the house got melted |
Some tried to put up a fight but they was helpless |
You ain’t try to turn that loose, you too selfish |
Gimme that, guess who bringing the 'Get Busy' back? |
Women say the sound of my voice, the Afro-disiac |
E-me and when I’m in your town, come see me |
'The Real World' for real, this ain’t your MTV |
The illest innervisions since Stevie on wax |
My vocal like serve-o forty-eight tracks |
The fact of the matter is a matter of fact |
That it’s the Black Thought, controlling like Ike Turner |
You wanna get wise, you best to be a fast learner |
Or just relax and peep how it’s done |
And boogie ya ass to what’s about to come because |
The lesson, now it’s now, we close shop |
We got it locked, it’s over now |
Aiyyo, Dice’s flows hit idiots like crossbows |
Knock 'em out the Atlas, push 'em off the Atlas |
I’m laughing, looking down from off top the totem |
Hop off my pedestal, grab my scrotum |
Aiyyo, y’all niggas ain’t fucking wit this shit |
(I told 'em) |
Aiyyo, y’all ain’t fucking wit the Roots crew |
(I told 'em) |
The rap is a riot, yeah 'cuz my family bouncing |
Soon as the name, Dice Raw is announced in |
The arena, the grass is greener on the other side |
I hit the stores, twenty-five thousand die |
Now tell who the best in off the top in the world |
I’ll give you a hint, the same guy that’s fucking your girl |
I just didn’t have parents, The Roots found me in the trash |
But still a nigga got a lot of class |
Trick wit my pinky finger up off the glass |
Keep talking shit, homeboy, that’s your ass |
The lesson, now it’s now, we close shop |
We got it locked, it’s over now |
It’s just the simple part of the game |
I guess it’s just the art of the scam |
Check for your soul 'cuz it departed again |
Militant is atomic, you fall from the sky just like a comet |
Move out 'til the bottom of my shoes out |
How many tracks do you 'bout? |
How many of these niggas you doubt? |
How many of these ladies making you shout? |
You on a mission, so listen to this |
Ask yourself what condition is this |
Sick in the, I rap on a satellite disk |
You gotta like this, asking me about the way that I stroll |
About the way I enfold in scrambling mode |
You’re like that, don’t bark, cat, bite back |
What up, Blood? |
Is things still the same in the hood? |
While I sit, I gotta get dub and wish I could plug |
They thoughts’ll leave 'em stiff in the mud, you wannabe thug |
In section eight, houses were hush up under the rug |
The shit I spit is humming wit slugs, get soaked in the suds |
The lesson, now it’s now, we close shop |
We got it locked, it’s over now |
The lesson, now it’s now, we close shop |
We got it locked, it’s over now |
The lesson, now it’s now, we close shop |
We got it locked, it’s over now |
