Tip is very smooth |
|
Phife is very hype! |
|
[Alchemist] |
|
Gettin' money |
|
The money is the main incentive |
|
Forever I'll remain inventive |
|
They cut me out the womb |
|
I hit the pavement and jetted straight out the fuckin' room |
|
You must be sniffing unleaded or sniffin' on the fumes |
|
I grind the block till it's shredded, wrapped in a mummy's tomb |
|
Top of the schnitzel is breaded |
|
I'm a big boy, don't give me no snacks |
|
Animal head on the table, no plate, fresh off the axe |
|
Blood dribblin' and drippin', my medicine is kryptonite for Clark Kent |
|
That's why I'm still scribblin' and scripping |
|
Missing work off the same mound of dirt you're pitchin' |
|
Cut from a different type of thread when I'm stitchin' |
|
Off the cable, human roach, I'm a bum, hold up the table |
|
Money talks like spaghetti sauce with the basil |
|
Finagle flavor like chives on a potato |
|
See me swerving in that black Suburban in ? |
|

|
(Tip is very smooth) |
|
Ev is going off again |
|
Still I'm so personal in third person offerings |
|
Look Ma, verse is what I caught again |
|
Said it to the mic and poof! Appeared an audience |
|
(Phife is very hype!) |
|
God damn, how did I get here? |
|
How do I mesh with the legends from the best years |
|
I mean those are real steps I gotta replay |
|
I mean those are real vets without a VA |
|
The southern C-A, the land of all deception |
|
The plan is get a cannon and shoot to show who reps it |
|
Flow connected, it wasn't me but was arrested |
|
Tryin' to catch a breath, deadly as asbestos |
|
Sick as fuck, spit that shit that went on record |
|
They couldn't test it, as soon as they assessed it |
|
The ink hit the page and then came the diagnosis |
|
Then came the reign, then the violence and the roses |
|
I shoot with the silence on a toaster |
|
I swear to drunk I'm not God but getting closer |
|
If the odds ain't our favor they're approaching |
|
Then we even out then leaving out the ocean |
|
To hit the world and rep my C-A shit |
|
Understand I did that shit before I seen a chip |
|
This the Tribe Called Quest that didn't split |
|
Banging the drums and stealing your kick |
|
My brother Step |
