Ice-T let me kick my credentials |
| [00:25.180] |
A young player bred in South Central |
| [00:27.380] |
L A home of the body bag |
| [00:29.780] |
You wanna die wear the wrong color rag |
| [00:32.040] |
I used to walk in stores and yell "Lay down" |
| [00:34.350] |
You flinch an inch AK spray down |
| [00:36.480] |
But I was lucky 'cause I never caught the hard time |
| [00:38.900] |
I was blessed with the skill to bust a dope rhyme |
| [00:41.450] |
All my homies died or caught the penzo |
| [00:43.430] |
Lost their diamonds cops towed their Benzos |
| [00:45.530] |
Livin' that life that we thought was it |
| [00:47.440] |
|
| [00:48.080] |
Fast lanin' but the car flipped |
| [00:50.210] |
I'm not gonna lie to ya 'cause I don't lie |
| [00:52.410] |
I just kick thick game some people say why |
| [00:54.900] |
'Cause I'm back on the block I got my life back |
| [00:57.340] |
So I school the fools about the fast track |
| [00:59.500] |
I get static from the style of my technique |
| [01:01.800] |
Profanity the blatant way in which I speak |
| [01:04.090] |
But the Dude knows the streets ain't no kiddie game |
| [01:06.310] |
You don't know the Dude Quincy's his first name |
| [01:08.500] |
He told me Ice keep doin' what you're doin' man |
| [01:10.750] |
Don't give a damn if the squares don't understand |
| [01:13.080] |
You let 'em tell you what to say and what to write |
| [01:15.330] |
Your whole career'll be over by tomorrow night |
| [01:17.600] |
Rap from your heart and your heart's with the street |
| [01:19.900] |
Rap on my record man Kimiko send Ice the beat |
| [01:22.300] |
The Dude is def no doubt what can I say |
| [01:24.550] |
The man can roll with Ice-T or Michael J |

I'm back on the block on the screen |
| [01:47.100] |
I'm on the wax I'm on the stage I'm on the scene |
| [01:49.560] |
I'm on the case just like an attorney |
| [01:51.810] |
The Dude took me on a magic journey |
| [01:53.960] |
To dance in France alone in Rome |
| [01:55.960] |
On the farmlands of Nebraska the cold of Alaska |
| [01:58.530] |
The heat of the motherland to be with my brother man |
| [02:00.800] |
On top of a snowcapped mountain I'm scoutin' |
| [02:03.000] |
What another man saw in a race of people |
| [02:05.400] |
To see him give his life for the price of equal |
| [02:07.640] |
The highest wisdoms the richest kingdoms |
| [02:09.950] |
The song of songs we heard David sing them |
| [02:12.340] |
He showed me me when I was young and hung out |
| [02:14.620] |
He showed me makin' love even showed me strung out |
| [02:16.740] |
He showed me poppin' nines standin' on a rock |
| [02:18.970] |
But tears came to my eyes when he showed me my block |
| [02:21.870] |
|
| [02:22.570] |

|
| [02:33.890] |
Stokie's Stokie |
| [02:34.800] |
|
| [02:35.320] |
And one by one each woman he kiss |
| [02:38.090] |
He kiss her and she gon' fall in love |
| [02:40.160] |
Stokie's just Stokie you know |
| [02:42.020] |
|
| [02:42.820] |
Stokie's Stokie |
| [02:43.890] |
|

Till someone shows that they care enough |
| [02:46.720] |
|
| [02:47.270] |
Ain't nothin' gonna bother Stokie much |
| [02:49.210] |
Some say they can't take it no more |
| [02:51.740] |
Comin' here comin' here startin' stuff |
| [02:53.820] |
But Dude is back on duty fo' sho' |
| [02:55.780] |

Back on the block to stay |
| [02:58.280] |
They say he ain't gonna be with it |
| [03:00.910] |
Comin' back comin' back to the street |
| [03:02.990] |
But Dude he know you'll never forget it |
| [03:05.200] |
Back on the block to stay |
| [03:07.000] |
|
| [03:12.090] |
Back up and give the brother room |
| [03:13.390] |
To let poetry bloom to whom it may concern or consume |
| [03:16.400] |
As I reminisce before this the bliss that exist |
| [03:19.100] |
But now we brought about a twist |
| [03:20.880] |
'Cause I remember of my people bleedin' |
| [03:23.190] |
Put through slavery and killed for bravery |
| [03:25.790] |
We shoulda got our freedom much sooner |
| [03:27.660] |
You never seen a Blackman on the honeymooners |
| [03:30.100] |
But now somehow we've learned to earn to grow to show |
| [03:32.740] |
The elevation of a people built is so |
| [03:34.810] |
Jesse Jackson Miss America a black one |
| [03:37.240] |
No more livin' for just a small fraction |
| [03:39.310] |
I was once told by the Dude that knowledge is a food |
| [03:42.090] |
To nourish so to conclude |
| [03:43.950] |
This from an Asiatic descendant Big Daddy is shocked |
| [03:46.900] |

| [04:06.590] |
An everlasting omnipresence is my present |
| [04:09.050] |
State of being seeing the unpleasant |
| [04:11.310] |
Sight of righteous souls live like peasants |
| [04:13.630] |
The mind stunts growth in adolescence |
| [04:16.000] |
My insight enables me to enlight |
| [04:18.090] |
The weakest of minds and I put 'em in flight |
| [04:20.350] |
As I transcend a-scend or de-scend |
| [04:22.780] |
Re-create re-incarnate and re-send |
| [04:25.100] |
The powerful spirits of our ancestors |
| [04:27.130] |
For those that don't know how God blessed us |
| [04:29.690] |
Because man messed up the media dressed up |
| [04:31.790] |
Lies perpetrated as truth and it left us |
| [04:34.090] |
Confused but I've seen it all before |
| [04:36.290] |
From Babylon to the Third World War |
| [04:38.650] |
I'm more than a man I'm more like an entity |
| [04:40.920] |
Back on the block and this time my identity is the Dude |
