(feat. Tarrey Torae) | |
[Tarrey Torae singing in the background] | |
[Pete Rock:] | |
Yo it's been a blessing to be deemed a living legend, | |
And when they started snitchin I only gave them confessions | |
I ain't stressin shit that's outta my control | |
I done went platinum & I done went gold | |
I done made beats for dudes who hit below the belt | |
I guess it's about time I made a beat for myself | |
Be positive or negative, still bitin my rhetoric | |
And got a fanbase from Japan to Connecticut | |
Got that medicine for everybodys sick | |
And I rep New York like I play for the Nicks | |
And ya'll could credit my kicks & pay for ya dimes | |
Bein a rapper is not an alternative to crime | |
I done supplied it year after year | |
Beats that made babies beats that made your career | |
So be clear my nigga when you step in the booth | |
And be clear if your tellin the truth | |
[Chorus: Pete Rock & Tarrey Torae] | |
Niggas will pop you, sayin the gospel | |
From a rap song they heard with the hip hop apostle | |
Became chaotic & filled with mayhem | |
At the end of the day I'll always be a made man | |
And play the same hand that I was dealt | |
You ain't never walked in my shoes or feel what I felt | |
So I had to share it, it was on my brain fam | |
Pete Rock the Soul Brother still a made man | |
[Pete Rock:] | |
And tell them young boys burnin' spliffs in here | |
I done been in this game for like 15 years | |
This trick I'm pullin all the stops | |
Since when makin music needed the cops? | |
A little before but now DJ's gettin' popped | |
Rest in peace to JMJ, Justo & Carl Blaze | |
But what I've learned I ain't learned in no classes | |
But it's always been my pleasure to touch the masses | |
You bought a computer & now you connected | |
You burning CD's but you ain't buy my records | |
I respect it but it's gotta be respected just the same | |
Pete Rock the first in the hip hop hall of fame | |
With all the names you know plastered on the wall | |
Famous for they words not a basket or a ball | |
You can have a casting call & get nothing but actors | |
You can have a talent search & get nothin' but rappers | |
[Chorus] | |
[Pete Rock:] | |
You can dance like Diddy, or get swollen like 50 | |
Or be like every other rapper get busted with a gliccky | |
The game real sticky & brothers get stuck | |
But cats should know when not to push they luck | |
Beggin' for a buck just to get on the train | |
I got a lot of bars that's stuck on my brain | |
I don't spit it in vein I do it for the public | |
Pete Rock did it for y'all I hope y'all love it | |
[Chorus] |
