| [01:15.85] | 'Til I came through the door |
| [01:17.10] | Like "Eric B. for Pres," respect me in this BITCH! |
| [01:19.28] | You can't disrespect us cause you got a little check cut |
| [01:21.85] | You was suckin so long, fuckin ya little neck up |
| [01:23.91] | Now you too big for your britches, you got a few little bitches |
| [01:27.10] | You think you Hugh Hefner, you just ridiculous |
| [01:29.10] | I blew breath on you midgets, I gave light to the game |
| [01:31.73] | It's only right I got the right to be king |
| [01:33.72] | Niggaz that got life really like what I sing |
| [01:35.91] | Cause they know is he really like, niggaz feel my pain |
| [01:38.41] | Know the shit I DON'T write |
| [01:39.91] | Be the illest shit that's ever been recited |
| [01:41.66] | In the game word to the hyphen in my NAME! |
| [01:43.85] | J, A, Y, DASH, Hoffa |
| [01:45.78] | The past, present, nigga the future, proper |
| [01:48.10] | The holy trinity of hip-hop is us |
| [01:50.35] | We give, Dre his props BUT that's where it stops |
| [01:52.97] | It's the Roc |
| [01:53.85][Chorus: Truth Hurts] | |
| [01:54.66] | I know, you got your eyes on me |
| [01:57.10] | I feel you watchin me |
| [01:59.29] | But it ain't hard to see that you can't see me |
| [02:03.10] | You try, but what you think you saw |
| [02:06.60] | Ain't what you thought you saw |
| [02:08.98] | You bed-da off not lookin at all |
| [02:12.41] | (Everywhere that I go, ain't the same as befo') |
| [02:16.85] | (People I used to know, just don't know me no mo') |
| [02:21.29] | (But everywhere that I go, I got people I know) |
| [02:26.29] | (Who got people they know, so I suggest you lay low) |
| [02:30.10][Verse Two: Dr. Dre] | |
| [02:32.41] | I'm still on top of the game |
| [02:34.04] | Still droppin flames, still cock and aim |
| [02:36.73] | Still at the top had the Roc for the fame |
| [02:38.85] | over setbacks, there's been a lot since I came |
| [02:41.66] | You seen it all, how I got, how I gained |
| [02:43.98] | The momentum when it dropped, how I got through the pain |
| [02:46.29] | When I roll and shock, they watched me reclaim |
| [02:48.60] | the streets, they made a special spot for my name |
| [02:51.29] | Dre, haters wanna stop to my reign |
| [02:53.04] | But the music lives in me, every drop in my veins |
| [02:55.98] | The pride and the pain |
| [02:57.35] | All the way back from the rise of my name |
| [02:59.72] | See the world clear through the eyes of the mane |
| [03:02.04] | See the world chear for the rhymes that I gave |
| [03:04.54] | When the beat bangs it'll drive them insane |
| [03:06.79] | The eyes that I played |
| [03:08.10] | The best to emerge in the game is The Watcher |
| [03:10.48][Chorus] | |
| [03:10.98] | |
| [03:16.29][Verse Three: Rakim] | |
| [03:30.60] | |
| [03:49.07] | I'm "Rated R," my brain contains graphics thangs |
| [03:51.38] | It turn traumatic teens into addicts, and fiends |
| [03:53.95] | It's like, watchin a movie through a panoramic screen |
| [03:56.20] | Which means, I can see the whole planet in the scene |
| [03:58.82] | Cash is the topic, the object, a fatter pocket |
| [04:01.32] | Some take the crack and chop it, but those that haven't got it |
| [04:04.20] | take away the added profit, it's catastrophic |
| [04:05.94] | I take the gat and cock it, and I'll sit back and watch it |
| [04:08.95] | These New York streets is ugly, I keep it gully |
| [04:11.39] | The world is mine and can't nobody keep it from me |
| [04:13.76] | Yo, my neighborhood is never sunny |
| [04:15.45] | In the place where the number one cause of death is money |
| [04:18.20] | You can try copin |
| [04:19.57] | I've seen enough shit to leave your frame of mind broken |
| [04:22.01] | I'm still alive and scopin |
| [04:23.32] | Be another hundred years 'til my skies close in |
| [04:25.51] | And I'ma die with my eyes open, the watcher {*echoes*} |
| [04:30.20][Chorus] |
