The streets battle grows hottest over hour plays a role of murarder touching evey land or earth like a Harlem Globetrotter With a message it prays tellin brothers to rasie their hands |
|
And take a stand because we all hourstand |
|
You have to bake the cake with grease |
|
and let the battle release and make enough so that we all get a piece |
|
A slice for Mama Do, a slice for Papa Do I come from Uptown and kid that's how we do |
|
I only speak for I.N.I. can't speak for your crew |
|
so why would I watse my time to even stress you |
|
I keep my mind on billed, and plus I keeping some skill Consant thought about the madness can't hear the ldol chatters about |
|
So I escape and take the funk rotue out, histroy's taught me what is all about |
|
My destiny is profilled when I'm over and out |
|
But I'll leave apart of me to cover all my acounts and I'm out |
|
[Pete Rock] Chorus: |
|
You always wanna be in the spotlight (right) |
|
The Center of Attention I also like to mention |
|
I.N.I. rocks the spot |
|
It's like that cuz we keeping it hot |
|
[Rob-O] |
|
Check it out, yo |
|
You see I prefer the player's approach so bust it |
|
joint's bumping lovely, skins is thick like custom plus the weapons that keep me steppin' while I proflex the art of microphone check-in. |
|
You flow slick for a second |
|
but now It's Rob-O's ditz your sweatin |
|
and at my show, you see theatin. |
|
Why you stressing the tense to quench the strengh of this wiff microphonist, |
|
your bicth attention is the bonest. Midatonest, crusin all this I got rhym goddamn. |
|
Confuse the funk music, rock, and jam. |
|
Pakistan stacks and grands and at the female fans at the Local Thea-ther the vocal creator slash I show blast beacuse you can't fuck with me. |
|
I guess this is the way your luck will be. |
|
Frontin much nevre, with the rep that you can't preserve step to +I+ and '95 you gettin' served the method of Center of Attention |
|
Chorus |
|
[Grap Luva] |
|
Doesn't truly pay to be the Center of Attention the main atraction gettin' all the action |
|
People stoppin' the +I+ with question after question |
|
I spit a few replies and keep with my my self and never in the weapon carrying type but I'll insite a riot oragnize and never quiet |
|
Don't it try it, dissin the +I+ is no use |
|
I bounce like Cashar tape and get loose |
|
Grippin the mic, spittin words I write |
|
Or the pad or the paper or this pretictular caper |
|
Got nuff up's and down's instry clowns |
|
Jealous niggas tryin to keep countin my fingers |
|
But yo, Im a spirtal millionarie dropping bombs |
|
Like King David when he wrote the songs |
|
So what you need to do to listen up remain calm |
|
not riding a wave refuse to be a salve cause I'm the center |
|
