(together) hiero yand'all...
[a plus]
itand's not a wrong thing
to be addicted to the microphone like a heroin fiend
iand'll tell you one thing:
youand'll never catch me fronting
as i proceed to give the people what they wanting
[opio] youand're making some green...
[a plus] but not for drama or fashion
iand'm stacking cash until i can get moms a mansion
[opio] all from rapping?
[a plus] nah man thereand's many plans
like investing in land
it started all from impressing the fans
with brand new flows
and you know
all the way from gangsta clones to weirdos
fools used those
but we ainand't tripping
give respect when you see this
you need us,
or your raps underdevelop like a fetus
[pep love]
those that know not doze
and it shows
when we broke out the knock
hos hopped out they clothes
thatand's positive feedback
yep, the prose
iand'm poised, we never pose, youand'll never know
andgt;from and'93 til infinity weand've been inventive
creating the bump is our only incentive
and itand's been a long time since i feel iand've been felt
but the only thing i fear is fear itself
so you know what we gots to do
maybe could we keep it within the crew
like it should be?
never givinand' out
weand're livinand' out our dreams
if thereand's something i canand't live without,
thatand's my team
you never knew...
[phesto]
hieroglyphics
hip-hop is vintage
underground like silos
launching long-range ballistics
world-renowned, we ground-breaking
musical boundaries
runninand' circles around emcees
[del]
del -- been rhyming for more than a decade
onto the next stage, while emcees need aid
stay paid, iand'm still grade-a
none of that tomfoolery
as you can see this shit ainand't nothing new to me
utterly hovering over other things material
youand're stuck in the here and now
plus youand're sweating profusely -- hereand's a towel
your fears are now reality
when i take your dream states
and elaborate on how your teamand's fake
with phony ids, but sometimes i feel like
only i see through the charade youand've made
in today, but hey, tomorrow itand's played
and then they got a new fool in your place to be okayed
[phesto]
hieroglyphics
hip-hop is vintage
invented in days back
rekindling in ways that many thought was lost
in this contemporary maze of methods to floss
we finding trees and trails to blaze
boundaries to cross
we can be found beyond the bounds of reason
or earthbound, heatinand' up the coliseum
[opio]
they rushed the stage full-throttle in chicago
our brains interlocked
where fakinand' emcees get caught with the 40-bottle
or get their chains snatched, pronto
we unstoppable, droppinand' flows in toronto
maneuverinand' through vancouver and on to japan
where they put major grands in my hand
follow...
[phesto]
straight from the heart we set apart from the rest anand'
our perfection on the microphone was predestined
world-renowned, we ground-breaking
musical boundaries
runninand' circles around emcees
