lyrics

who got the poison pen, who got the voice to bend
and send beams of light for sight, now its your choice to win
or take a minus as you find this, pressure is like a sinus
got my people behind us, aka your royal highness
try to blind us with your high beams you try schemes to take it
your sly team igniting flammables but mistakes get
stacked upon one another then you start to wonder
if the whole thing's crashing down just like a game of Jenga
sing the song, ring the alarm, and sound the sirens
but the crowd can get excited if you're rocking over silence
if you're hitting them right, so when you're gripping the mic
and inch to give will get a mile in return that's road to burn
in turn they get the best of you and leave you feeling destitute
except that you are feeling this because you put it on the line
and gave them all you had to give the adjective I find
best fits this situation, invigorating, its time to rhyme.

who got the keys to the whip the style that makes you flip
and listen for every lyric when we're shooting from the hip
who got the fire and the thunder, across the frozen tundra
we're some masters like Augusta, its no wonder who got the

who got the sickness, well, we got the antidote
who got a missed lick, well, I'd like to add a note
who got the cantaloupe, my melon's having a ball
with jabber jaw, portraits and words, its like a camera phone
who got the aminals enamored with the radical
glass tappin and mad rapping brookyln zoo gramaphone
who got the grandmama converse alter ego
sting like a hornet tighter than a corset on obese people
who got the sold out seats, the roadhouse beef,
they squash when we roll up deep
then roll out the red carpet and roll up the fruit flavors
and bust out the blue label, I say whole house freeze
"no doubt D", its a daily grind being prolific
the blood sweat and tears that go into being terrific
that will get your temple scribing without being Hasidic
rocking with the cat who makes you want to be a statistic
my needs are specific, two turntable techniques,
one microphone dynamic for fresh speech
beats that'll bump from the back to the front
that'll get the crowd thumping from their neck to their feet
selector select, come correct on the decks
if you half step, I got the skills to catch wreck
emcees - emcee, best be rippin it right
articulate while spitting wit, or just give me the mic
know what i mean? cause I know what I need
and I know what I got, and I gotta believe
that the crop of hip hop, from the drop of our seeds
has the future looking brighter, all I got is a dream
