Lyrics

[00:05.29] I shall proceed
[00:07.98] And continue to rock the mic
[00:10.65] I shall proceed
[00:13.40] And continue to rock the mic
[00:16.08] I shall proceed
[00:18.76] And continue to rock the mic
[00:21.51] I shall proceed
[00:24.32] And continue to rock the mic
[00:27.07] Just think what if you could just just blink yourself away
[00:32.52] Just think what if you could just just blink yourself away
[00:37.88] Jeff X can rock the mic with tooth decay
[00:40.51] I be the 5 foot 7 residing at the mecca lesson south section
[00:44.87] Used to cut class in the infinite pursuit of ass
[00:47.81] Back in eighty-seven
[00:48.62] Easy with the chics I was a chocolate boy
[00:51.68] Raised in the cellar with the rhythm like Ella
[00:54.36] Walking down the streets to the subway where i lay
[00:57.67] Til the train stop then a nigga hop
[00:59.79] Used to do the pop dance to the planet rock
[01:02.41]At the block party everybody jocked[who me]
[01:05.15] It's the MC sucka niggaz envy

[01:35.17] Break a lyrical hymn of the stem like boom
[01:37.91] I'm flyer when I'm higher put my shit up on a tomb
[01:40.91] That nigga represented on the 28th of June
[01:43.41] I'm representing philly on the 28th of June
[01:46.03] I can make you feel that i'm a surreal cartoon
[01:48.53] With my pistol in the face of hip hop stick in your face
[01:51.42] Because i'm on a paper chase yes i'm on a paper chase
[01:54.16] My Timberlands are fully laced I be the Mr Boogeyman
[01:56.97] With records from 125th to Japan
[01:59.72] I laid them play like Johnny Hathaway and shake a hand shake a hand
[02:03.40] Your lady tried to kick it but I couldn't play my man
[02:05.96] My niggaz is my niggaz ya see she didn't understand

[02:43.68] Johnny on the spot got the rhythm and the rhyme
[02:46.30] F**kin with The Roots you know them niggaz is the dime
[02:48.92] I can make a hundred yard line start to dash
[02:51.35] I can make a whole lake of fish start to splash
[02:54.10] I can make Conan and the Titans clash
[02:56.79] I can Metallica and guns'N Roses crash
[02:59.47] Used to smash crash parties like i was disturbed
[03:02.15] Used to make plots against the herringbone herb
[03:05.14] But now all I do disperse the verb
[03:07.64] And like a nerd i can make you say"He's superb"
[03:10.45] Word is perfect never ever shall you misinterpret
[03:13.39] I move styles like bowels so now you know i'm worth it
[03:16.50] Direct from Philly the lands where niggas scheme
[03:18.75] So you know I got the sheen in my gleam
