Check the verse in the bible says man shall never covet |
|
But in your life you put nothing above it, you seem to love it |
|
Invest some stocks to clock what's in my stable |
|
Sweating me like cain sweating abel, you're unstable |
|
You couldn't speak, now what's the fake frown for? |
|
The jealousy, that's why you're feeling so insecure |
|
Used to be by my side but now all i see is pride |
|
On the quest to make lucci, got you open wide |
|
It feels funny, cause it never used to be that way |
|
Remember pr back in the day? |
|
Hey, the number's changed and the crib's a little fatter |
|
But if you was real, you'd see it really wouldn't matter |
|
Check the stat in fact yo, don't ever try to peep this |
|
Don't mistake my kindness for a weakness |
|
The name is pete rock, i'll take you higher than the lism |
|
I'm on a exodus, escapism |
|
Yo, check it out |
|
I like to rhyme, no time for silly head games |
|
Strictly known for busting up your head frames |
|
But skins bold, act like they want to know a nigga |
|
Break they neck to show they figure |
|
But yo, you can't gas me up, you can't hype me |
|
Play it cool when it comes to schooling wifey |
|
On the ways of life it's life, checks, and big money |
|
So the next kid will be up on your honey |
|
Sexing your honey, flexing your benz and your money |
|
Playing you like a crash test dummy, so take it from me |
|
Cause when it happens don't say i never told you so |
|
Peep the verbal lessons in the flow |
|
And ayo, you know they style, and yeah i'm here to warn ya |
|
Getting shaky cause i'm coming up on ya |
|
It's pete rock and c.l. smooth on a major pape mission |
|
Rising to the top, escapism |
|
I'm sitting back, i got the funk on cruise |
|
While you snooze pete rock is steady paying his dues |
|
Putting styles on lock and making beats by the bundle |
|
Scooping more props than bryant gumbal, and staying humble |
|
But then you go and have to act that way |
|
I just hit you off the other day! |
|
But this is sick, cause here you come with your crew of derelicts |
|
Talking about you need a pair of kicks, or this or that |
|
You hang around cause the pockets are fat |
|
But when i'm on "e" yo, you ain't trying to check for me |
|
You got more game than rugby |
|
You're only stressing the name now that the papes is flowing lovely |
|
So stop searching for idealism |
|
And check the off-beat flow of the soul brother with the realism |
|
Shedding some light just like a prism |
|
You can't wait, you can't fake it, escapism |
