back in the days when I was a teenager before I had status and before I had a
[E] pager you can find a abstract listening to hip-hop my pops used to say it
[G] reminded him of bebop I said [D#] well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles
wait the Bobby Brown is just it but like [E] Michael it's all expected things are
for the lookin if you got the money questions for the walk-in I'm on
everybody let's get with the fly boat still got room on the truck load of
popco listen to the vibes you get a mental picture of this black man
this black woman picture why do i see that because i gotta speak the truth man
doing what we feel for the music is the proof and
planet on the ground the actors so together unify strong you need leverage
to sever the unit is the unit is the unit called the task is delivering e g
and o p filled with street goods you can find
the older rack in your record store if you get the records in your car
you are adored and appreciated because we're ever so glad we made it we work
hard so we gotta thank god mission out the plastic do the dance to
your spastic if you're this it gets drastic listen to the rhyme
because it's time to make baby if it moves your booty then shake shake
it baby all the way to africa aka the motherland stick out the left
then i'll [D] ask for the other [A#m] hand that's the right [D#] hand black man
[E] only if you are noted as my man man if i get the credit then i think i deserve
it if you fake moves don't fix your mouth to
word it get in the zone of positivity not negativity because we gotta strive
for longevity if you're watching what's in that what

you [A#] gotta be a winner all the time can't fall prey to a
hot crowd with the dope laps and don't actually move blocks
from the [C#m] fly girlies to the hardest of the rocks physically the quest
is on the rise you own these excursions so you must realize
that continually i'll buy my zulu if you don't like it get on the zulu tip
so what can you do in the times which exist you can't fake moves when your
brother or your sis but if your sis is a mother is a dirt mom leave them both
alone and continue with your work whatever it may be into this society
everything is family says how it seems to me you must be honest and true to the
next don't be phony and expect one not to flex
so let's lay up your rhyme you have to live by the pen
your hand is your man but treat them like your friend
all it is is the code of the streets so listen to the knowledge being dropped
over beats it's not a hard it's not a funky you get
your hook like a crackhead chunky what you gotta do is know the tribe is
in the sphere the abstract poet prominent like [G#] shakespeare
