We don't speak weak crap over weak tracks
All that weakness we don't need that
That you hear in the hood when you sleep
Searchin' high and low, behind the do', inside the drawer
Searching for the perfect beat, I went to East Dayt'
The illest delivery, later for the talk we need action
Spittin' all we saw was stacks of rhymes written
Boom, bap, who's, that? KRS-One bring the beat back
See how they try to stay on the beat
We the realest, livest, the rawest
In any endeavor whatever, we will prosper with our beats
Askin' why like a guy who look for God up in the sky
Movin' again, insert the heat
All that whackness, we don't need that
Talib yo, I think it's 'bout time to speak
Sound of da police
You gotta bring the beat back
Spill all kinda roll, metaphors and similies
It takes heart, the lyrics been replaced with the swagger
Word, watch me take it there, life ain't no Christmas there
TK you must speak
Peace love unity livin' proper with the beats
The pig route when he walkin' down the street to the beat
Don't look in the book to learn to eat
BK to BX and every place in between, it's all 7-18 like
We know a smart free black man just pisses 'em off
It's crazy and fugazi how they slaves to they release date
Beat you 'til you're blue and black, true dat
My whole body is a spiritual facility
Elite, way too smart for the system of course
Lookin again for the perfect beat
Bring the beat back
Little did he know that the beat was tryin' to find a flow
Some cats are real, other are impostors with beats
We avoided the cops, we focused on beefs
Bleedin' as if they goin' to war
So what'chu got? 9's and tecs, you no threat
Bring the beat back, selector, listen
Lookin' for a sweet face,in each case
Every time they leavin' the crib
It ain't old school or new school, it's true school rap
Tryin' to get they heartbeat racin' and the dark meat be tastin'
Crack cocaine, heroin survivors with beats
They try to look away, they're scared to look inside
Never be shook, follow the heat
Sneakers and whips, police be peepin' the strip
Stuck in limbo, how low can you go?
So delicious, my description so good to the beat
Write up a hook, learn to speak
It's lifted right from the sounds
That'll have you doubtin' my competitor's abilities
Hell yeah, it's crystal clear when Kweli and Kris is here
Selector, bring the beat back
Rock a vest after a lyrical killing spree
Teachin' 'em how to eat to live
Bump the beat all in the street
Forever they look weak
All that whack garbage, we don't need that
Flashin' millions but still takin' a loss
Hoes believin' the pimps who eatin' the shrimps
The perfect beat we seek that, knowledge of mind we speak that
What is the life of a true hip hopper, the beats
Grand Concourse, whassup?
Bring the beat back
It's beat win again, work the street
The actors been replaced with the rappers
Silence is golden but the violence is platinum
Move that, we speak boom bap live in the club
The rappers been replaced with the actors
It's the beat, how you get your cake don't matter
Yeah, DJ Rhettmatic
We can show and prove that
We got beats to the rhyme and the rhyme is so fresh, yo
A punched hole through your stomach lining like Tylenol
They cheap and their pimp is pleadin' the Fifth
So John's walkin' the street
What they like is when we glisten and gloss
I stay sharp enough to slash your face like a dagger
When you rappin 'to the beat
You see 'em walkin' the beat
