 (Kweli)
We do not (under no circumstances)
live for Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop)
It lives for us
we don't live for Hip-Hop (Hip-Hop), it
lives for us (repeat 3x)
It's the eternalist, y'all burn to this,
blaze da dro'
Soul rebels trap up, we got a long
way to go
Before this here blow like a volcano
we get eternal, this is what you
waitin' for,
you try to front and play the role
When you more like a pimp who pay
the ho
With my name up in your mouth like
fellatio
I lace the flow on purpose even up
the ratio
Of Hip-Hop to that shit they drop on
the radio
Underground classics is what they
used to say before
Now we break the surface quiet like
an alligator nose
They hate it, cuz they know if they
don't get it, then they may be slow
We still gonna blow like the horn
played by Horatio
The stakes is three feet high and
risin' like De La Soul
So I got Wonder Why, my man Dave
and Maseo
We all got babies so we embrace the
taste of dough
But y'all already know so I ain't gotta
say no mo'
(Chorus, Maseo)
De La is whatcha need, Reflection is
whatcha need
We got the masters of the
ceremonies,
blessin' emcees lip professin' emcees
From LI to Brooklyn to Cinncinnati, Hi-
Tek and Kweli got this on lock D
Let me hear you scream out loud if
you're somebody
Party to party, body to body,
when we come into the jam we do it
wildstyle
(Posdnous)
Yo! I'm homegrown for the bain, once
I rock the mic plain
It's the extravaganza we glad you
came,
made only for them heads, it's infra-
red Aim
For such a world figure, we got
figures to gain
(don't sleep on a nigga)
I ain't Icabod Crane get that ass
cooked hard cuz we raw like Kane
Been known to mic spit, infinite per
frame
While these girls throw me plenty like
jenny to jane
Ain't some old school G poppin'
memory lane, been on it future robotic
Since the day I came
If you don't know Plug Wonder Why
is my name
Most recognized leo with my size in
mane,
matter a fact track is simple and Plain,
Cuz the complexities I freeze is too
deep to detain,
Reflect, Kwa-Tone Tek eternally in
the game (and De La) oh fo' sho'
We be shinin' the same
(Chorus)
(Dave)
Y'all think these challengers is here to
make a man fold
Shoot I've been holdin' these joints
since I was yea old
Came to confirm the fact that I've
been on the payroll
Stay cold til one day make it hot and
fade old
Continue til I'm dyin, rottin' out gray
and old
I told them fool before they pass they
have to pay toll
While I've been sittin' at the table
eatin' steak whole, side of greens
Baby yams you know it stay soul, pre-
natal,
But they want to come spit your way
so,
so was I supposed to go and say no,
Right emcees some walking straight,
some take the gay stroll
I get my man to clamp they asses like
they staples
I'm from LI we take it far as out as
naples
And scrape hoes who'll be willing to
take clothes off (off)
See once you bet it all against
reflects eternal,
you lose every rapper on a dept
Y'all need to pay ya dues
(Chorus)
