Proceed |
| Just think, what if you could just, just blink yourself away? |
| Just think (What?) |
| What if you could just, just blink yourself away? |
| Jeff X can rock the mic with tooth decay |
| I be the 5 foot 7, residing at the Mecca |
| Rest address in south section |
| Used to cut class in the infinite pursuit of ass back in '86 |
| Easy with the chicks, I was a chocolate boy |
| Raised in the cellar with the rhythm like Ella |
| Walking mega-trife streets to the subway where I lay |
| Til the train stop, then a nigga hop (Hop) |
| Used to do the pop dance to the Planet Rock |
| At the block party everybody jocked, «Who, me?!» |
| It’s the MC sucker niggas envy |
| I got my contract in 1993 and I shall proceed |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I wake up early in the morning, I mean early afternoon |
| Break a lyrical hymn of the stem like boom |
| I’m fly and when I die you’ll put my shit upon my tomb |
| That nigga represented on the 28th of June |
| I’m representing Philly on the 28th of June |
| I can make you feel that I’m a surreal cartoon |
| With my pistol in the face of hip-hop, stick it for papes |
| Because I’m on a paper chase (Say what?) |
| I’m on a paper chase |
| My Timberlands are fully laced I be the Mr. Boogeyman |
| With records from 125th to Japan |
| I let them play like Donny Hathaway and shake a hand |
| Shake a hand |
| Your lady tried to kick it, but I couldn’t play my man |
| My niggas is my niggas and she didn’t understand |
| I shake your hand and shit’ll hit the fan, just think |
| Just think, what? |
| What if you could, just blink, what? |
| Blink yourself away? |
| As I proceed |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall (I shall) proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue (And continue) to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| Malik B, get on the mic, ayo, it’s too much on my mind |
| Say what? |
| Malik get on the mic, there’s too much on my mind |
| Johnny on the spot, got the rhythm and the rhyme |
| Fucking with The Roots, you know them niggas is the dime |
| I can make a hundred-yard line start to dash |
| I can make a whole lake of fish start to splash |
| I can make Conan and the Titans clash |
| And I could make Metallica and Guns 'N' Roses thrash |
| Used to smash, crash parties like I was disturbed |
| Used to make plots against the herringbone herb |
| But now, all I do—disperse the verb |
| And like a nerd, I can make you say, «He's superb!» |
| Worded perfect, never ever shall you misinterpret |
| I move styles like bowels, so now you know I’m worth it |
| Direct from Philly, the lands where niggas scheme |
| So you know I got that sheen in my gleam |
| I shall proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
| I shall proceed (Proceed) |
| And continue to rock the mic (To rock the mic) |
