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