I came in the door nineteen eighty four |
|
Paint on the wall got chased by the law |
|
Once got soul in the place full of flow |
|
Was never given the zone had to create my own |
|
As clean as the nose on my face that I placed to the stone |
|
Had to stake my claim to the thrown |
|
Ain't no mistaken the sacred in his tone |
|
Ali the new name by which greatness is known |
|
Ya'll act like MCing is a new sport |
|
Your too inexperienced your teeth are too short |
|
Every culture has a right to passage |
|
You wanna bypass it and sell me your practice |
|
One for the lunch money |
|
I dont run from you punch-drunk dummies |
|
I invite you all to come for me |
|
I set up shop hungry when it wasn't sunny |
|
I been here long after y'all are done humpin' |
|
Talk to me when you've done somthing |
|
Other than swingin back n' forth from hating to nut huggin |
|
No, all criticism isn't constructive |
|
Some need to be destructed, your done with |
|
And either you retire to the sideline |
|
or imbrace this time, this rhyme with your eyes wide open |
|
Shit won't have to earn them accolades |
|
A-N-T gonna take you all back to phase one |
|
Yes Yes y'all you dont stop |
|
Now come alive A-N-T and give me what you got |

|

|

|
(scratching:) (the way I feel now I just got to rock) |
|
Ya'll ain't heard nothing I gave you your first lesson |
|
From what you discussin' over the percussion you |
|
Never compare to me |
|
You a parent tearin, repeating what you hear fly through the airwaves |
|
carelessly |
|
The meaning get lost in translation |
|
You a copy of the authors first page |
|
Counterfeit money, only get it in small denomination |
|
You'll never be prominent - face it your imitation |
|
Equal sacrament, sea bass generic ass |
|
Sprayin' through closed concerts simulacrum |
|
We used to distribute our music ourselves |
|
Our records shouldn't even be held on the same shelve |
|
Its bad enough they put y'all with 'rock the bells' |
|
Cliche the culture we're best to be involved in it |
|
Ya'll will sqaunder in it |
|
No need to think for a minute by pushing limits |
|
you can see a pond to fish in |
|
And you will get strangled by your lines |
|
Whether your anglin or sayin' ryhmes in due time |
|
Send your dues back to shoe shines and clipin coupons |
|
**** you and **** the lighter you open your brew on |
|
You slither out from under a rock |
|
and then present yourself for something you not |
|
The Brother you jock |
|
Try true hip hop Preston forgot |
|
Swing it on the first fight and mother ****er I spot |
|
What the **** not? |
|
I would love nothing more than to bust your box |
|
and blood clot a porn spot |
|
Three things I got I love'em alot |
|
Do anything to protect them from the vultures of block |
|
Hover above on the block, you mother ****ers better not |
