Ras G: |
| [00:23.06] |
Natty Dread like Bob so rock steady |
| [00:26.56] |
With no spaghetti with meat sauce |
| [00:28.38] |
Maybe salads with one toss |
| [00:29.59] |
No bread of the sorrow cause afraid to see tommorow |
| [00:32.16] |
It's religion never suspicious |
| [00:33.96] |
You're too delicious for the tongue |
| [00:35.65] |
See the lungs breathe a natural high |
| [00:38.06] |
Just like the shirts that's so lovely |
| [00:39.66] |
So ask Marco Polo and I never go solo |
| [00:42.29] |
Cause I roll with the crew that keep the funk flows |
| [00:45.46] |
That make ya dance until the sisters take glance |
| [00:47.89] |
I hope you find romance....try your luck take a chance |
| [00:51.29] |
Til I enter like the Milton Plaza I'm the center |
| [00:54.16] |
Of it all, the fuckin' prince of the ball |
| [00:56.70] |
Standing six feet tall, that's a long way to fall |
| [00:59.56] |
But not worry, cause my vision ain't blurried |
| [01:01.72] |
The +I+ is hotter than the spice and curry |
| [01:04.17] |
So don't stress the father or you might feel the fury |
| [01:06.96] |
Grap Luva: |
| [01:07.31] |
So check the situation, a raw deal is what we facin' |
| [01:10.42] |
What's the flavour of the rules they mandate |
| [01:12.77] |
The climbin' gets hotter as the city gets smarter ( ? ) |
| [01:16.12] |
A million one catch they tryin' to earn top dollar |
| [01:18.91] |
Half that mill, they straight out to kill |
| [01:21.30] |
I'm cultivated and destined to act real ill |
| [01:23.92] |
Black let up in the things of five burroughs of pain |
| [01:26.71] |
Only reason why the east and the west it ain't the same |
| [01:29.59] |
I'm twenty-something years of age and life surely ain't about hand-outs |
| [01:33.36] |
So I lace my plan out, hard work is levicated to an encore survival |
| [01:37.60] |
Considergize less and from conception to arrival |
| [01:40.46] |
Now that I'm here my fear shall decrease |
| [01:43.00] |
Learn about life makin' my way to the east |
| [01:45.89] |
From four square yard struggler |
| [01:47.86] |
The G's on time, yo god hit me with that rhyme |
| [01:50.89] |
Rob-O: |
| [01:51.06] |
In-tro-ducin the R to the O-B-O |
| [01:53.83] |
You didn't know, I witness ya thoughts I'm Robodendo |
| [01:56.83] |
But your inventions confuse me on the surface |
| [01:59.56] |
Ya nervous, because your lack of purpose |
| [02:02.03] |
Check it, thought about it, much much later |
| [02:04.76] |
Should've kept it real would've been much greater |
| [02:07.60] |
But, you got in it like a pussy, in fact |
| [02:10.16] |
Bein' pussy kept your wack ass back |
| [02:12.56] |
Now in '95 to 2000 Rob is on some next shit |
| [02:16.16] |
Game type, yeah in ya heart, you know it ain't right |
| [02:18.90] |
Dissention among the ranks |
| [02:20.61] |
I'm givin' thanks to the most high for plantin' me firm |
| [02:23.30] |
Upon this world that's forever changin' |
| [02:25.18] |
The conflict that I'm engagin' |
| [02:26.75] |
The concert with amiss communication |
| [02:29.39] |
Imagine that me take the weight for some next kid short |
| [02:32.76] |

Mekolicious: |

Hold it suppose it was me speakin' on tapes |
| [02:59.97] |
To create a lifestyle to marinate |
| [03:02.66] |
Different latitudes search cocaine to food |
| [03:04.83] |
Excuse my move to bliss |
| [03:06.05] |
Eternal stress in fits |
| [03:07.78] |
I see the same in many, penny thoughts |
| [03:10.08] |
Cause honey thought I wasn't ready but willin' |
| [03:12.26] |
