Uhh! Y`all know the scrilla
Watch the maneuver
[Verse One]
Check the action, tracks with traction, fact with fiction
Mix it, now that`s faction, El got you relaxin
I`m camomile, volume sleepin pills
Head back but comin still
The production is fuel-injected, Speed Racer behind the wheel
Diesel beats real
As conversations on 43rd Street in the projects, slangin words
Hey fiends, sniff these verbs
Pick `em up off the curbs
Tracks like tickets over twelve billion served
And, keep yo` hands out my pocket
Uhh, Brother El used to catch the L
Before he grabbed the mic and rocked it, in XL
Uhh, ballad in myself I do myself in a cell
Analyzed it, locked it in, and now I got it
Listen, there`s, no competition make
beats with my alter-ego, sweat in my eyes, double vision
Incisions of small cuts to the veins of the brain
Ya, y`all niggaz ain`t right man, ya y`all niggaz ain`t right!
Yeah, we gon` work it out witcha, mm-hmm, yeah just hold pat
[Chorus]
Whooped, massacred, raped, scarred
Ridiculed, under-educated and domesticated
Hardcore brother tryin to stay motivated
And what my cypher created the world try and fade it
[Verse Two]
How you feel? I`m straight, but I could be better
I`m composin a letter, a letter for what?
A letter to state, showin the fate, of mankind
line for line
I`m livin decent but I`m cryin; I`m sick of tryin to
come up on a grip, don`t slip, that`s easy
I step in military formation
Pacin the cold streets, dark nights, and gang fights
over, territory, that ain`t right, I might
just step back and react on a different plane
Change the slang, watch the devils go insane
cause they don`t understand a damn thang
Life ain`t the same when you use your brain
Reveal the name, don`t be estranged
They not ready to see the true blackness
In fact this is a whole new concept but I`ll keep you in step
Oooh! Watch the moves it`s a dusty groove
And I, come with bullshit to make hits
I, hold the essence of effervescence, now
.. uhh, learn your lessons!
[Chorus]
