	Intro：common (craig mack sample from "get down")
	And and bass up the track a little bit
	Cuz i i'm here i wanna hear that boom bish boom, knowhati'msayin?
	Yeah yeah you know the bizness
	Common sense, soul with the de la
	Get all them play-ahs
	We the rhyme sayers
	Huh, and that's the bizness, hah
	Gonna do it like this
	Gettin it that
	Like the chicago streets
	Verse one: dove
	I speak divine of god theories, no need to be high
	Always exhale the facts cause i don't inhale lye/lie
	Play the greater man's game, to bounce off my losses
	So i can earn the acres (uhh) the houses (yeah) the horses (huh)
	Of course it's much greater than your benx or your lex
	The engine to my comprehension is just too complex
	Much too complex, efx/effects be live like das
	Making moves down south, to avoid the chaos
	And never, flaunt the coin cuz dime-getters be gazin
	They call me luther van, they say my style is so amazin
	I'm fazin those who're supposed to have the last laughter
	Cuz even when i'm gone i'm reappearin in the after
	I haveta, send respects to real money makers
	Do not connect us with those champaign sippin money fakers
	Taste the quarter pound with spice from chi-town
	Now what that prove, you're so full you can't even move
	Chorus:
	Cause i'm the d-to-the-o, the-v-to-the-e
	And can't another brother cook these delicacies
	Well i'm the p-l-u, the g-to-the-one
	Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
	And i'm the c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
	I sit and think with a drink about how i'm gonna win
	I'm the c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
	I sit and think with a drink...
	Verse two: common
	Do you wanna be a mc?　or do you wanna serve
	Do you wanna be dope? or do you wanna deal it
	Fabricated acryllic, i feel it, i'm the style molester
	I do a show get extra p's like the large professor
	In fact i get more hoes than tessa, peep game like a
	Refa-ree in soul control of my
	Desti-ny, in the best of, three out of five
	Whip anybody ass at nba live, rappers
	Take a dive like greg lougainis with his bitch-ass
	Rather be in bebe's alley, than at the click with gators
	Not a hater of the players, i'm more like a coach, or an owner
	I used to love h.e.r., but now i bone her (ahuh-hah!)
	At one point in rhyme i thought i lost my erection
	But then i got it back with the resurrection, blessings
	Upon rhymes old man who called him traitor
	Big com stradamus niggaz styles i predict
	Chorus:
	I'm the c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
	I sit and think with a drink about how i'm gonna win
	And i'm the d-to-the-o, the-v-to-the-e
	And can't no other brother cook these delicacies
	Well i'm the p-l-u, the-g-to-the-one
	Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
	Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
	Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
	Verse three: pos
	I'm the most from the coast of the east, then flee
	Droppin more knowledge than litter, on the new york peeve
	It's me, wonder why, in the place to be
	Certified, as superior, mc
	While others explore to make it hardcore
	I make it hard for, wack mc's to even step inside the door
	Cause these kids is rhyming, sometiming
	And when we get to racing on the mic, they line up to see
	The lyrical killing, with stained egos on the ceiling
	My rhymes escalates like black death rates
	Over music plates, being played as the rule
	Kids thinking stepping to the soul, you're labelled fools
	Who claims to drop jewels but for now you do the catching
	I don't worry on what crew you run, or what section of earth
	You reside, you're not even a man
	So i don't seem it mandatory taking your pride
	But i will, cause my man said soul for the life
	You cried "keepin it real", yet you should try keepin it right
	That's understanding microphone mathematics
	Which leaves the currency in temporary world status
	And when one shows he posed threat to this one
	This one will make that one into none
	Simple equation, zero, you shouldn't play hero
	If you can't stand strong like the island i'm from
	Chorus:
	Now i'm the p-l-u, the-g-to-the-one
	Walk around the planet earth making money having fun
	Yeah, and i'm the-c-to-the-o, double-m-o-n
	I sit and think with a drink about how i'm gonna win
	And i'm the d-to-the-o, the-v-to-the-e
	And can't another brother cook these delicacies
	See can't another brother cook these delicacies
	See can't another brother cook these delicacies
	Outro: common
	Ahh that's how, that's how i'm supposed to do my thing huh
	Like triple it, alright
	That's how we do it, all the way from strong island to chicago
	The type of freestyler flow
	Yeah, it's fluent, and we don't need to flow no more
	Hah
