Rappers of today like
When I'm ridin' in my Volvo, cops harass me
Instead of lookin' for someone to beef with
'Cause I don't understand, I have to wonder, damn
One another 'cause separation is a flaw
Another victory
Save all the base for the pipe and start lovin'
Because they can't drop rhymes like these
Like um, um, let's say, un, poison
Competition never saw none done
(Stetsasonic) and EPMD
So when you hope to hang or even handle
Defeat, bring up the fleet, flee 'fore we meet
Huh, I got a place for them to stick it
No more than two people and the money up-front
Wheihter, whatever, we better stand together
Another victory
Compete 'cause the heat is deep in concrete
They can't understand to see a black man
Hey, even my man L.L.Cool J
Treatin' me like I'm some type of thug
They never ride past me, they hound me like Lassie
"Taxi cabs don't even come my way
Huh, that just makes me wanna laugh
To all the jams Cee throw on
They rap a brief moment and then shut up
So I can flow and go on, so on and so on
Just the other day, I heard a brother say
Public Enemy and
How could this lifestyle be fun to man
Fully prepared, though they still won't last with me
That are left behind as you're left to find
(What?)
Lips are sealed because all of this is real
That's why they soon die
You're comin' up shorter, boy, you'll need more to
These are the games that a fool would play today
(Kick it)
It might sound bugged but they don't wanna get mugged"
Or stay away, puttin' new rhymes on layaway
A brother like the Big Daddy Kane is peace with
(Mmm)
Out of order, conquer and slaughter
(BDP)
'Cause aaaaah yeah, I'm with this
To see a brother gettin' paid undercover
So how we livin' like a turkey on Thanksgiving
The fury of the five fingers of death are mine
Another victory
Rippin' on the microphone, receitin' poem
For our own kind to decay, no sign of brotherly love
(Period)
Some step up, none kept up
Reachin' a summit as you learn from it
(Tell 'em)
Who like to buy and give it a try
The righteous with a walk in success and be strong
Just scavengers in search of
And all the product you sell is real dangerous
I just want you to comprehend every message I send
(I'm ready)
Salt 'N' Pepa 'cause we can't sever never
Sellin' drugs to one another
Another victory
My name ain't Kieth, so could you please stop sweatin' me
(Kid 'N' Play)
Destruction to all your own boys and girls
Givin' competition a Big Daddy syndrome
Violators pick up the pieces
'Cause now I'm a star and your son got my autograph
'Cause all the glamor you get is miscellaneous
The royal majesty, others have to be
I'm not about frontin', I tell the real deal of society
And then they assume that I'm a drug dealer
Or like Robin Gibbons? Not to offend
Drivin' a car that costs 25 grand
(Mmm)
A lesson taught from yours truly, so here cometh
The first thing they say is, "Where'd you steal her?"
So they zoom right past and pick up a lighter shade"
So all the cops on the highway gettin' me
That means unite, not fightin' or fussin' or cussin'
So endure for more and stop lookin' for
So pay attention as I mention the 411
I'll show the meaning of power and just cancel
MC's and enemies I freeze at 32 degrees
Then come get this when you're ready for business
Another victory
(Uh)
Who's in the right or wrong? It's time to unite along
They all be afraid they won't get paid
Wantin' to give me a summons or a ticket
Admire and can't deny the high
Yo, Mister Cee, what is this?
"And if they stop, the first thing they want
