| [00:02.11] |
Let me flaunt the style, I think that the time's near |
| [00:05.14] |
That we drop Scuds, there won't be no duds here |
| [00:07.57] |
Rappers play the dumb, kinda on the space tip |
| [00:10.10] |
But when they hear the jams, they be on the dilsnick |
| [00:12.61] |
Now I'm not for the rock, I know the territory |
| [00:15.17] |
Go ahead and try, that's a different story |
| [00:17.78] |
Similar to Grimm, I could tell a better one |
| [00:20.34] |
All about a kid, who couldn't rap and didn't run |
| [00:23.11] |
Stands on the side when the mic is getting dumb |
| [00:25.65] |
Resorts to bagging Billy, asking could he have some |
| [00:28.34] |
No never ever, go back and try again man |
| [00:30.77] |
If you come back, I'll be the first to shake your hand |
| [00:33.48] |
Competition's good, it brings out the vital parts |
| [00:36.23] |
The Abstract Poetic, majors in recital arts |
| [00:38.66] |
Do it for the kids, the elders and the rap peers |
| [00:41.19] |
We know the job is done when we hear a lot of cheers |
| [00:43.83] |
Gotta feel the vibes, real from my creation |
| [00:46.52] |
If the hands clap I'm filled with elation |
| [00:49.03] |
Here I am ghetto, full with a lot of steam |
| [00:51.69] |
Think I gotta, I think I gotta, I think I gotta scream |
| [00:55.24] |
Cause that's how good it feels child |
| [00:57.28] |
Let your hair down, so we can get buckwild |
| [00:59.48] |
Do your ill dance, don't think about the next man |
| [01:02.09] |
We must have unity and think of the bigger plan |
| [01:04.67] |
Division we will fall, we must stick together, see |
| [01:07.23] |
I'd like to take this time to say what's up to Kool G |
| [01:09.92] |
The name is Q-Tip, the Midnight Marauder |
| [01:12.43] |
Giving nuff respects to Afrika Bambaataa |
| [01:15.10] |
As a man in the world, I must do my job |
| [01:17.42] |
Take care of Mama Duke, I won't resort to rob |
| [01:20.24] |
Bob you'll get your dough, Mase is my witness |
| [01:22.75] |
Obsessed with the rap, for it's the mental fitness |
| [01:25.39] |
Like shooting Cee-lo, and always hitting head cracks |
| [01:28.11] |
The industry is luck, winning with the fake raps |
| [01:30.69] |
Peace to the crews who pump the real hip hop |
| [01:33.54] |
Not selling out, from hardrock to disc jock |
| [01:36.00] |
|
| [01:36.28] |
I don't know what to say, but here I go freak it |
| [01:38.55] |
If the papes come, then you know I'll seek it |
| [01:40.93] |
I'm just a short brother, dark skin face |
| [01:43.62] |
Weigh a buck-fifty, 36 waist |
| [01:46.13] |
Hair is crazy curly, flip like Mr. Furley |
| [01:48.72] |
To this day I still believe that no MC can serve me |
| [01:51.41] |
Brothers try to front, but everybody know |
| [01:53.97] |
I get more props than the Arsenio Hall Show |
| [01:56.50] |
Party animal I was, but now I chill at home |
| [01:59.22] |
All I do is write rhymes, eat, drink, shit and bone |
| [02:01.67] |
Found my thrill in Amityville, I'm always in the Island |
| [02:04.23] |
Fudge and Lucky know the time, they know who keeps 'em smiling |
| [02:07.05] |
Go out on my own, something that I gotta do |
| [02:09.46] |
Do what the hell I want and have no one to listen to |
| [02:11.94] |
I'm prompt with my business and I do things on the double |
| [02:14.73] |
Yo, I'm out like Buster Douglas, I say peace to MC Trouble |
| [02:17.48] |
Rest in peace |
| [02:19.04] |
|
| [02:19.38] |
Word Up, rest in Peace, and you know what else? |
| [02:21.32] |
We got, we got, we got the vibes |
| [02:23.07] |
All the people in Long Island, we got the vibes |
| [02:25.94] |
Brooklyn and Queens, we got the vibes |
| [02:28.63] |
Uptown and Now Rule, we got the vibes |
| [02:31.27] |
People Upstate, we got the vibes |
| [02:33.86] |
If you're in DC, you got the vibes |
| [02:36.26] |
Maryland, Virginia, Carolina vibes |
| [02:38.85] |
Out West, we got the vibes |
| [02:41.64] |
In the Bahamas, we got the vibes |
| [02:44.33] |
Over in Europe, you know what, we got the vibes |
| [02:46.84] |
And we gotta keep it alive, it goes um... |
| [02:48.56] |
|
| [02:48.82] |
Of rap I'm a fan, I've seen a whole lot of slums |
| [02:51.46] |
Good with the girls, I get a whole lot of 'em |
| [02:53.76] |
From fat to skinny, Freda to Winnie |
| [02:56.37] |
Emma to Cindy, Constance to Wendy |
| [02:59.06] |
Cause I be real friendly, never on the snotty side |
| [03:01.62] |
I don't brag to brothers about the little papes I got |
| [03:04.26] |
My vocal styles can vary, the sight is never scary |
| [03:06.93] |
It's only legendary, my father well prepared me |
| [03:09.33] |
My job ain't temporary, I'm here for the long shot |
| [03:11.94] |
Better yet the long term, I don't have a perm |
| [03:14.63] |
In a way I do, call 'em the perma-naps |
| [03:17.32] |
I'm crazy slap-happy and I'm scrappy and I'm nappy |
| [03:19.81] |
When I get the mic in my hand with the crowd in the stands |
| [03:22.89] |
It's as good as grand like that |
| [03:25.84] |
|
| [03:26.31] |
Yo, I wanna say peace and dedicate this joint to MC Trouble |
| [03:29.55] |
And to uh... Trouble T Roy |
| [03:31.48] |
And to um... Scott La Rock |
| [03:33.49] |
And to um... Cowboy, you know what I'm sayin? |
| [03:36.32] |
This is for the slain rappers and the fallen rappers, you know what I'm saying? |
| [03:39.76] |
This is a special, special, special, special, special dedication |
| [03:42.82] |
And also to my Pops and also to Vinia's Moms, you know what I'm saying? |
| [03:47.29] |
You just gotta keep it happy and keep the vibes going |
| [03:49.77] |
Cause this is vibes and stuff, and we out... |
