Lyrics

Word is bond, these cats been on the mic fantasizing a lot So called MC's, wannabe rappers and all that, whatever You get your knot rocked kid, yo You thought you brought your best lines, but they couldn't touch mine I rocked you in your knot hope you have better luck next time You thought you brought your best lines, but they couldn't touch mine I rocked you in your knot hope you have better luck next time So just perhaps, you wanna challenge my style of rap Talkin' 'bout you bust caps, we know that's just a pile of crap The underground is where I dwell at It's where I find my heaven and where you find your hell at You're in my clutches now, you get slit up and lit up Just like some dutches now, see I'm hard to define My mind travels far, from ghettos to galaxies Representin' gangstarr, the street life The reason why my mic ignites, I bring more ruckus Than a nightclub fight, or bar brawl I'm swingin' lyrics like broken glass palm to skull y'all Hold your head, 'cause all that weak shit is dead See the times are changin', and me and my peeps is gettin' crazy fed So remember when you writing your rhymes Stop fantasizing, and bring some real shit next time Yeah, bring some real shit, yo You thought you brought your best lines, but they couldn't touch mine I rocked you in your knot hope you have better luck next time You thought you brought your best lines, but they couldn't touch mine I rocked you in your knot hope you have better luck next time Yo, I do what I have to do to master you and capture you Until you recognize, what my rapture can do You thought I wouldn't step up, to keep my rep up I ain't them other kids, I don't need to play no catchup I got too much pride for this, I know some niggaz That'll ride for this, with me it's do or die for this Street knowledge, intellect and spirituality My survival package, as I deal with reality I'm like fishburne in hoodlum when I come to do 'em Chew 'em up, spit 'em out, the most respected no doubt You seen me in action so act you been knowin' The G-U-R-U, of the gang, I've been flowing Just like the river Niger all the way to the Hudson Had so many lyrics stashed, and I couldn't wait to bust some Lately, I've watched this game evolve and elevate So now I push my music like drug dealers push weight Straight like that, straight out the gate 'Cause it's never too late, to set this fuckin' record straight But it is too late, for you and your crew son You had the audacity to come against me, the gifted one? And primo with the tracks, to inspire my next line You've got no wins here, so better luck next time You thought you brought your best lines, but they couldn't touch mine I rocked you in your knot hope you have better luck next time You thought you brought your best lines, but they couldn't touch mine I rocked you in your knot, yeah, yeah Not this time but next time Better luck next time Not this time but next time Not this time but next time Not this time but next time Not this time but next time
