| Album | Lost and Found |
| [00:00.00] | 【Intro: Pete Rock】 |
| [00:02.86] | Uh, check it |
| [00:06.12] | InI in the house, y'all |
| [00:08.63] | Soul brother number one |
| [00:12.39] | The life I live |
| [00:14.65] | Rob-O, Ras, Grap Luva, and Marco Polo |
| [00:19.17] | Yeah, hit 'em off the verse, one time |
| [00:23.15] | 【Verse 1: Grap Luva (Rob-O)】 |
| [00:23.16] | Yo, my display of attributes in a tight situation |
| [00:26.00] | Is like squeezing grapes for the drunken sensation |
| [00:28.76] | (But these grapes got the taste of wrath) |
| [00:30.77] | On behalf of my staff I blaze a trail and set a path of forward motion |
| [00:34.04] | Cause a commotion and diminish competition |
| [00:36.80] | School the shorties cause the "I" be on a mission, steady dismissing |
| [00:40.32] | Nonsense and weak foes who kick fuckery flows and stay afloat in the water |
| [00:44.59] | I simply oughta seize your whole manslaughter attitude |
| [00:47.86] | Cause niggas like you ain't really rude |
| [00:49.62] | I'm never pulling punches, delivery is revelation |
| [00:52.38] | Hear the I out, find out what you're facing |
| [00:55.15] | Never displacing is the way brothers be living |
| [00:57.65] | But what's the true elements of what I'm giving? |
| [01:00.17] | Delivering the full coverage of how I'm living in the years of the nine |
| [01:04.18] | My style and my life is defined |
| [01:06.44] | 【Scratched hook】 |
| [01:09.21] | Damn right I like the life I live |
| [01:25.29] | 【Verse 2: Ras G】 |
| [01:25.30] | The very first African man born into a system that's torn into pieces |
| [01:29.58] | Not running through the feces but every day I feel that the love keeps decreasing |
| [01:33.85] | So I bring the love vibe to make it all coincide |
| [01:36.61] | I love His Imperial Majesty and it's a tragedy |
| [01:39.88] | I've seen your whole strategy is weaker |
| [01:42.13] | Your style's been blown like the speaker |
| [01:43.89] | While I'm an old school new school rhyme fool with no tool |
| [01:47.15] | Packing the mic and keeping my cool like the water in the pool, quite refreshing |
| [01:51.92] | Won't settle for less in this rap game, I'm far from lame |
| [01:55.19] | While others fiend for fame I remain the same |
| [01:57.45] | Staying laced for the future that's faced my lord |
| [01:59.96] | We're InI, all together on one accord |
| [02:02.47] | Yo, the clique that manifests with much rapport |
| [02:04.98] | With much love to give within the life I live |
| [02:07.99] | 【Scratched hook】 |
| [02:10.00] | Damn right I like the life I live |
| [02:28.83] | 【Verse 3: Rob-O】 |
| [02:28.84] | Birth time, see my first rhyme in 2-0-7 |
| [02:31.60] | 1-9-7-1, September 11th |
| [02:34.11] | To the twelfth is when he blessed my peoples with wealth |
| [02:36.62] | First born son arrived chilling in good health |
| [02:39.39] | Couldn't imagine the praise when I came out the poon-poon |
| [02:42.15] | My mama's womb was a nigga's only room |
| [02:44.67] | Now I got the whole world to express myself |
| [02:46.92] | Stretch myself, relax and plus rest myself |
| [02:49.68] | With impossible props to pull |
| [02:51.69] | Check it, steadily avoid all the obstacles |
| [02:53.95] | And negativity, y'all faggots stressin' me |
| [02:55.97] | Take advantage to get the best of me |
| [02:57.73] | Sweating in hopes of getting next to me |
| [02:59.99] | It won't happen, see I came to rock the spots |
| [03:02.50] | Serving the facts I got, on these urban black blocks of America |
| [03:06.01] | From four square miles New York is scarier |
| [03:08.27] | With strength dominates the inferior |
| [03:10.54] | And I'm out |
| [03:12.04] | 【Scratched hook】 |
