[Mos Def]
Yo, one for the treble
Two for the bass
Welcome to the great incredible
paper chase
Keep your boots laced if you want to keep pace
[Nate Dogg]
Oh
no,
Niggas ain't scared to hustle
It's been seven days, the same clothes
Ask them
originals cause they know
Mos Def, Nate Dogg, and Pharoahe
Step away from the mic they too
cold (oh no)
The funk might fracture your nose
[Mos Def]
Say my name, say my
name
Observe how I stake my claim
I independantly layed down and played my game
My
own two raise my flame
Cause dick ridin ain't my thing
I earned what they said I wouldn't
I got it the way they said I couldn't
But now I'm gettin it and thier whole grill is
cookin
Mad cause I'm getting caked out from my bookings
When ya'll was askin permission I
just stepped up and took it
What!? The kid's better buy my rookie card now
Cause after
this year the price ain't comin down
And if you got a joint bubbling then get money now
Cause in a minute there's gonna be some real trouble coming out
Just a warning, as usual some
cats wont heed it
The hard headed always gotta feel it to beleive it
It's a shame that
jealous gays is too short to see it
But when thier face hit the cement, they nod in
agreement
We could play nice and decent
Or dirty like the 7-1 precinct
Call it a day
or make it a long evening
You keep on scheming, making me some more reasons
To have the
women in your mama's church screamin "Lord Jesus!"
Harder than ya'll cause I'm smarter than
ya'll
I know that deep down it's got to be bothering ya'll
Pay attention, watch fly gon'
get larger than ya'll
Put your pride on the rocks, make you swallow it all
[Nate
Dogg]
Oh No
Look at who they let in the back door
From Long Beach to Brooklyn they
know
We rock from the east to west coast
From Queens to ---? (they know)
Step away
from the mic they too cold
The funk might fracture your nose
[Pharoahe Monch]
Very contageous raps should be trapped in cages
Through stages and wackness, foul rats is
blazin
And it amazes - me how you claim thug,
But go two ways without Skytell pagers
I'm intellectual, pass more essays
Than motorcade police parades through East L.A.
More
beef then deli's
Plus what I vent is just, what you must defend is evil aim, uh
Halleluja,
Pharoahe Monch'll tool ya
Maintain the same frame of mind school ya
Get the picture, sit
ya, seat ya, preacher with scriptures
I'ma quit the rip ya reach ya
Pharoahe and Mos is
verbalized
Mos is coast to coast, we boast to be the most explosive here
Ferocious, the
lyrical prognosis
The dose is just leaving you mentally unfocused here
Emcee's just come
on 'round
You're the next contestants on "catch a beat down"
Don't be hesitant sound
cracks to sediment
It's evident we're medicine for your whole town
Sky's the limit, game's
definite when I'm in it
All window's is tinted, how you seeing me when I'm in it
Rap, we
got it on lock man, stop that
Put that mic back down, boy, drop that
Pharoahe's slows
blows shows like afros
We hate ya'll though
That's why Nate Dogg goes:
[Nate
Dogg 2x]
Oh No
Niggas ain't scare to hustle
It's been seven days the same
clothes
Ask them originals cause they know
Mos Def, Nate Dogg, and Pharoahe
Step away
from the mic they too cold
The funk might fracture your nose
Oh No
Look at who
they let in the back door
From Long Beach to Brooklyn they know
We rock from the east to
west coast
From Queens to ---? (they know)
Step away from the mic they too cold
The
funk might fracture your nose
