歌詞
Uh, huh
Uh
And it weighs a ton
'Riq Geez, muh'fuckers, I'm a son of a gun
Black master of any trade under the sun
Talk sharp, like a razor blade under the tongue
Clear my path and come get your captain hung
Tryin' to breathe like Black'll collapse your lungs
Young chump, you could choke off the web I spun
I done cleared 'em out from the threat I brung
You done heard about what set I'm from
My ****, word of mouth, little rule 'a thumb
Y'all better bow down when the ruler come
I'm a real hood ****, not a hood-a-lum
The way Thought put it down be confusin' some of y'all
Cats can't walk while chewin' your gum 'n all
What a keyboard got to do with a drum and all?
School 'em on stage like I'm doin' a seminar
Professional type, I'm adjustin' my mic
Go to war, kid, I'll give you any weapon you like
Give you somethin' to run from, bust off your dum-dums
Stop, kid! That hot shit — you know where it come from
It's Philly, worldwide phenomenon
And reinforcin' that shit is my 9-to-5
And when I finish makin' you recognize,
I'm gettin' at a couple civilized women that's tryin' to ride
You been waitin' on the bol to come off to all
You wanna get the bitches up off the wall
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
To keep you in health – this for all of y'all
I'm quick on the draw like Black McGraw
And I can't tell what y'all cats rappin' for
My name 'Riq Geez and I'm back for more
To get more chips than the corner store
With a portrait of Malcom X on the door
While I'm eatin' MC's like a carnivore
Matter fact, ease back 'fore you get harmed
Ring the warning horn when I'm gon' perform
The first **** that move, or disturb the groove,
I'mma have y'all flicks on the evening news
Play y'all part, get on y'all P's and Q's
And when y'all face Thought, be prepared to lose
Bring money to spend, and somebody to lend
And some worthwhile money, not 20's and 10's
Get took for your tuck right in front of your hens
Who coulda helped you, ****? Not none of ya friends
Because, I put a black fist under ya chin
Have your physical remains found under the pen
If I'm comin' up in the place, I'm comin' to win
Wasn't in it for a minute, now I'm dumbin' again
'Riq Geez, akh, y'all can chat what y'all please
Receive what I'm gonna get back to y'all, believe
'Cause you don't really wanna get clapped with all these
My man, you can take y'all strap when y'all leave
You see the squad come in the place, they all freeze
Ice Cold, with his mellow Cool Breeze
MC's never showed loyalty yet –
Kool Herc ain't never get a royalty check
I do work, no question, and bomb your set
I'm calm, collect, sharp like my name Gillette
R.I.P. my man Guillet
Until I touch the mic, y'all people ain't seen danger yet
I'm a decorated vet, I regulate and wreck
Never hesitated yet, I'm gettin' heavy-weighted checks
If you would dare ask if I'm dedicated — yes!
I spit live rounds that'll penetrate a vest
****, take ya seats, I'mma demonstrate a test
How to freak the beats, so gangsta fresh
And it thump, from the East Coast to Bangladesh
Big bank Willy Gank smoke the thing to death
But hold tight, 'cause it's not over yet
I don't even feel like I'm not sober yet
And it ring like shots in the projects
New Year's Eve, and it ain't even October yet
I'm a big bounty hunter like Boba Fett
Y'all more shellshocked then a soldier get
If the prize in my sights, then I'm goin' for this
Woo-woo! 'Riq Geez be the ultimate
I'm the culprit, give me the bulk of this
'Riq set it on the Magnetic Ultra tip
Get down how you 'posed to get
I got nothin' to lose, I'm a killer with no regrets
I'm like young LL, 'cause I'm hard as hell
Makin' **** screw-face like Gargamel
Now I'm all out on my own like Patti LaBelle
Put the pimp game down on your mademoiselle
Keep the beat goin'
Keep the beat goin'...
