In comes the ones from Jeruzalum slums |
|
Knockin bums out for clout, Jersey rules without a doubt |
|
On the real, keep it kinda fat for the brothers |
|
from the Wrongside of Da Tracks, and it goes like that |
|
Since the beginnin of time, the Artifacts kick rhymes |
|
straight tape after demo tape in eighty-eight |
|
It's so dynamite, shit's outta sight |
|
Snatch up a G and demonstrate for the night |
|
Sip on the brew, me and you can do the do |
|
and you know this, flow with this, Polo, you know kid |
|
Tame, what's the status on the blunt meter homey? |
|
(Yeah I got three dimes, six Phillies, and some Olde E) |
|
Yeah G you know the program, it's so damn ridiculous |
|
Kickin this mix for all the niggaz and the tricks |
|
El the first half, Tame indeed is on ? |
|
and word to life he rhyme with spite and so dynamite |
|
"Dynamite soul!" (4X) |
|
[Tame One] |
|
Yo this flow goes to all the hoes I ever f**ked with |
|
Kids I smoked blunts with, and my ex-girl that sucks dick |
|
Niggaz takin shorts in weed spots because they know me |
|
And to my moms, because she makes good cheese and macaroni |
|
And to the stores that'll sell three Phillies for a dollar |
|
To Afrika Bambaata for makin me a rap scholar |
|
And MC El for rhymin with this notty headed lunatic |
|
You always knew we had the crew that had the mad drama kid |
|
peep it, all my peeps from 12 Block to Broad Street |
|
And backstreets in Jersey where the niggaz first heard me |
|
It took a long time comin with more cuts than Jason |
|
Since the days I had a fade and used to rock in Redman's basement |
|
I do +Poetic Justice+, like Janet played the role |
|
And now I'm makin suckers swoll with the dynamite soul |
|
"Dynamite soul!" (8X) |
|
[El] Remember them joints, we used to rock at the spot? |
|
[T1] When we stepped on stage with fat gear and it was mad hot? |
|
[El] Kids in competition was scared at the sight |
|
[T1] Of these mad motherf**kers who rock the mic RIGHT |
|
[El] Then we was "That's Them", gettin all the action |
|
[T1] F**kin niggaz bitches and just leavin them in traction |
|
[El] Ask who the hell was them niggaz that's rippin it? |
|
[T1] You better get hip, cause Artifacts got the shit |
|
[El] For about four years, people said we couldn't hack it |
|
but the track's got ?, and rhymes got the knack |
|
See, we'll never fall we got support from the fam |
|
Jam after jam, here we are but there we stand |
|
It took mad time, but here we is, in the music business |
|
Press record when you hear me on KISS |
|
Brothers talk shit, but yo, who really cares? |
|
Tame's who all I need 'cause, the brother's right there |
|
And if you're swoll, say it's all in control |
|
The Artifacts, we got, the dynamite soul |
|
"Dynamite soul!" (8X) |
